PASSING OF THE MAckEREL

Do you remember when father used
to brink home Exit of mackerel and
how, after he had cleaned them. moth
er used to broil one and serve it for
breakfast in the long ago? And this
leads to the question: What has be-
come of our old friend, the mackerel?
A dispatch from down east says that
he is no longer found in his once ia
miliar retreats. His scarcity this year
is more marked than ever Thirty-two
American mackerel schooners put into
Louisburg, n. s., the other day in
mournful state. Fifteen of the feet
had not taken a single fish since
March and none had anything resem-
bling luck. AS to the cause of this
state of affairs and one of the effects
We are indebted to the Springfield
Register for the following:
The vanishing of the former great
schools of one of the handsomest and
most toothsome fish that plays the
"briny" is not fully explained. 1t may
be due to the pollution OF our rivers,
or the terror of the dogfis.h, or the dis
like of the steam trawlers The old
salts have dozen theories, not one of
them very convincing. Even the gov
eminent. after studying the case, is
uncertain.
At any rate, the table appreciates
the change. The mackerel has now
definitely taken it's place with the lob
ster and the eastern salmon as very
expensive luxury, and there seems no
prospect Of any change.

common house fly is now called the
typhoid fly. There may be some doubt
as to the exact propriety Of this name,
hut we, not the fly, get the benefit
of the doubt. The. fly is filthy, a car
rier of intestinal and other diseases,
a menace to life; and no good house
wife, no dutiful mother, will tolerate
even few flies in the kitchen or din
ing room.
Some lurid and unpleasant posters
have been issued in certain cities to
depict the evil deeds and disgusting
habits of the house fly. 1t should not
be necessary to resort to such meth
DDS. A sweeping indictment should be
enough. The fly is more dangerous
than the mosquito, yet the latter
hasn't a friend in the world. Tell the
truth about the fly in general terms,
and every hand that is not hopelessly
lazy will be raised against it.

HIGHWAYS OF PROGRESS. !,

r
President James j. Hill, the great
volume just published a large number
of the addresses which he has
made on occasion in different parts
OF the country in the last two or three
years. 1t is devoted to discussion
of those matters with which study
and experience have made him best
acquainted, anc his endeavor is to fit
laws to facts and to combine facts so
that laws may be made plain
The highways of progress are many

course or argument relates to agri-
culture, farm methods, reciprocity.
railway consolidation, Oriental traie,
Irrigation. waterways, railroading, and
SO on. In a word, he is always stand
ing with his feet on the ground and
is most at home, in closest touch, with
what appear to be the everyday facts
of life. Nothing is more dangerous
than the handing of statistics by
those who do not half know what they
mean.
Mr.. Hill himself is master of rail-
reading, as his career proves. and his
book is replete with interesting and
trustworthy information Through
out all its pages he speaks as one who
is thoroughly informed and is con-
WINGED both of the accuracy of his
statements ana the significance of his
conclusions.

WILL PREVENT BANK DRuNs.v

WILL PREVENT BANK RUNS.
A thoughtful citizen of Keokuk has
suggested that the postal savings
banks may operate to prevent runs"
on other banks and thus work great
public good. In support OF his view
he cites the well known fact that
bank runs as a rule, originate with
the government and their lack of CON
bank depositors This is the class
that, 1t is expected, will make most
use Of the postotfices as savings
banks, owing to their confidence in
the government and their lack Of con-
fidence in state and national banks.
They will not be disposed to make
run on the government banks and
the other banks will be relieved of
the danger they incur in accepting de-
posts from such customers. Mean
while the state and national banks
will have the benefit of most of the
money deposited as savings in the
postal banks, the same as before.
The idea appears to be well founded.
Even the bankers who opposed the
establishment OF postal savings banks
and most of them did-may yet
find these institutions benefit to
their business and not a detriment,
as many of them now fear

EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURES.

Exports of manufactures In May
were larger than in any past month In
the history of our export trade. and
for the full fiscal year year 1910 will
be larger than in any past fiscal year.
The total value of manufactures ex-
ported in May was 100000, includ-
ing both manufactures ready for CON
sumption and for further use In man
ufacturing, and for the eleven months
ending with May amounted to $500 ,0Oo.-
900, indicating that June, the twelfth
month of the fiscal year 1910 will bring
the record for the fiscal year 1910
above that of any of it's predecessors.
Should the June exports of manufac-

In speaking OF Attorney General By
ers' defeat in the Ninth district, the
Waterloo Reporter suggests that it is
not new experience for him and does
not bother him a bit. He has come
back several times, and no doubt has
faith he can do so again. The Reporter
er continues:
The horoscope of his political flu
ture has not been cast, but perhaps
success of Judge Proutv in the Sew
enth district may carry its inspiration
OF the rewards of perseverance over
into the Ninth. And then there may
be longing for the senate. in which

PRIMARY REFORM SHADOWS

Mr. Joseph c. Sibley turned in his
expense account as candidate for
nomination to congress in Pennsyl-
vania at $40,69S. His opponent made
report that In the same contest he
spent $4,000. Congressman Dalzell
makes report that his personal ex-
penses to carry the primaries in his
district amounted to $4,000. In each
OF these contests there was a large
attendance of voters at the polls.
1t has been found in most cases
that such an attendance is secured
only when there is prospect of being
handsomely paid for it. 1t cost 81 or
SIS apiece In the Sibley district to get
the voters out. That is one of the
rights which, apparently, they insist
upon in case of contest, and where
there is no contest they neglect ut
terly to go to the primaries. Such is
the universal complaint.
1t is recited that in a famous Wis
consin case man who obtained the
approval of his party in the state as
a candidate for the United States
senate, spent about $4,000, according
to his own report, as the expenses
he incurred in carrying the primaries
against the opposition of Senator
LaFoliette, who had another man for
That honor. But it is several wears
since Senator LaFollette himself had
to make the battle of his life to gain
the approval of the primaries in his
own state and after that contest was
concluded he reported his personal ex-
penses at $4,000
Since that campaign of six years
ago Mr.. LaFollette, trying to control
his state as its virtual dictator is
himself engaged in another struggle
for his political life, seeking a return
to the senate at the hands of the
legislature of next winter. and there
Is no doubt that every resource which
he can command will be employed be-
cause the rich man who backed him
six years ago has since fallen under
the LaFollette ban and has become
the enemy of the great insurgent agi-
tator. The Buffalo News takes notice
of these things to say:
These are but examples of how the
direct primary works, Without party
endorsement or party responsibility,
and without party enthusiasm to back

himself and his own pocketbook and
that of his friends as personal mat

violence and of vulgarity that make

speaking in the best sense.
The point of the argument, pro and
con. about direct nominations is that
finally they who advocate the change
do not show from the record in other
states that New York will be any bet
ter off with that system that it is now.
They claim who favor it that what
ever the people get will be of their
own choice. But whatever they get
now is of their own choice Just as
much. The people have the votes.
The politicians have few. The citi-
zen controls the situation whenever
he chooses to exercise his right to
vote.
