Capt Blake and Capt. BsrtIert donated

Suburban secured right of way there,
and one of the stipulations of the fran
chise was that the street should be kept
in proper repair. As everyone knows
this has not been done, and now the two
residents of West Jersey avenue feel
that the councilmen will be somewhat
derelict if they fail to compel the rail
road company to at least cover with
gravel the protruding cross ties. In
many places ties are peeping above
ground two and three inches
Another petition from taxpayers, all
of whom are directly or indirectly inter
ested in the appearance of Franklin ave-
nue., was read and fled The petitioners
pray that the councilmen may proceed
with the prelminaries that will ulti-
mately bring about curbing and cement
sidewalks on that street leading from the
Reading railroad to the intersection of
Verona avenue. In short, they have
asked for the same treatment as the
councilmen have accorded the people on
Washington avenue.
Just how long the Franklin avenue
petitioners may wait for the spirit to
move their petition from the dusty coun-
cilmanic files is question that the
average person would not care to answer,
but there is one point in connection with
this-that if Franklin avenue is to have
curbs interested ones will do well by at
tending to picket duty.

The symptoms of adjournment
fever are strong in both houses of
congress and members are counting
the days they will have to remain in
Washington, just as schoolboys
count the days before an approach
ing vacation. This has been especial
ly noticeable in the house this week.
One member after another has Sc
cured leave to extend his remarks in
the Record and each time the permits
sion is asked it is greeted with hearty
applause. Occasionally member
falls to avail himself of his privilege
and delays the proceedings by giving
utterance to his views on the floor,
and invariably any extended utter
ance is greeted with groans which
even the continuous rapping of the
gavel speakers hardly proves suffi-
Gent to abate. The leaders of both
houses expect now to complete the
work of the session next week, opin-
ion differing as to whether final adj
journment will be taken ON Thurs
day, Friday or Saturday. ].

THE PRIMARY LAW.

Anathema is pronounced upon the
primary law by stalwarts and pro-
Rressiyes who take leading parts in
party affairs. Clearly the people do
not longer consult their old time pol
itical advisors and the discarded ad-
visors are not pleased. 1t is well
known that this newspaper was not
and is not particularly enamoured
with the primary law, but it is frank
to say that as yet it sees no reason
for Its abrogation without futhel
trial. The main thing is it's effect
upon the affairs of the public. It
matters little that the professional
politicians should be disappointed, OF
that particular men may be defeated
and other particular men be elected
20 long as the ship of state rides
steadily upon we'll ballasted keel
That must be the real test of the
efficacy of the law and by that it
must stand or ll.-Canton News.

Conservation has been captured

Conservation has been captured

during the last twelve months is
amazing. official opposition to the
conservation movement. whatever
II has done or still threatens to the
public interest, has vastly strength
ened the grasp of conservation upon
tho minds and consciences of our
peopls. Efforts to obscure or belittle
the issue have only served to make it
larger and cleanerer in the public
estimation. The conservation move
mont cannot be checked by the base
iess charge that it will prevent
development. or that every man
who tells the plain truth is either a
muckraker or demsgogue. 1t has
taken firm hold on our national
moral sense, and when an issue does
that II has won.

One Of Dr.. HaIe's Jokes.

When he was quite young man the
late DIR. Edward Everett Hale played a
practical joke on some girls who were
members Of party with whom he was
summering on the Massachusetts, coast.
All these girls were reading the same
exciting novel. and one day at dinner
Il was leading topic. Knowing that
none Of them had finished It, Hale, un-
known to them. carried 1t away with
him the next morning when he went
TO che city. On the train he wrote an
absurd conclusion to the novel, laying
the final scene at the summer resort.
Carrying this bogus conclusion to a
publisher. a friend Of his, he had 1t
put In type, and then, carefully remov-
ing the bona fide conclusion. he pasted
In his own. On his return he placed
the book on the piazza and waited.
The look which spread over a girls
face as she read that last chapter was,
DR.. Hale declared, worth going far to
see.-Woman's Home Communion.
