FiCT AND FICTION

There were brought to this port late

of the Barbadian sloop Sunlight. who
were rescued at sea by Il passing steamer.

Fact is still stranger than fiction. No
writer Of sea stories would have dared TO
venture to employ such a diet to save
his characters from death: more could
even have invented it. One wonders If
he could have found a precedent for It
in the recorded experiences of seamen
that furnish the basis of fact for the best
Of these fictions, and wonders also If
such diet would produce the desired
impression of extremity in novel or short
story. There are certain limits beyond
which the realism of life becomes too
bald. too prosaic, for the purposes of fic-
ton. and requires explanation when So
employed. just as much as does reck-

Jingle. capital romancer, discovered
this when he told the bald. prosaic facts
for once. He startled the ingenious Mr..

The result in Heykimer County is q
setback for the direct primaries move
ment and on its face indicates q recess
sion in the demand for primary reform
there. The Strobel Organization was in
complete command OF the Republican
County Convention, controlling two
thirds of the delegates. Resolutions in
dorsing the Governors policies. including
direct primaries. were smothered in COM
mittee. Yet last year the sentiment for
them was so strongly represented in the
county convention that Mr.. Strcbel had
TO yield to it. reverse himself and put on
the appearance Of supporting direct pTi-
maries The candidate for the Assembly
was instructed to favor the reform.
The Assemblyman chosen under those
Instructions regularly lodged the vote
upon the primary question, on the ground
il was reported, that If he voted for di-
rect primaries the organization would
prevent his renominati ton, and if he voted
against them he could not be reelected.
He apparently Cid not think enough Of
his chances upon his record to seek re-
1tItUlltllltc III lC-
primary. reform in his county as a bar to
his further political preferment Why
that sentiment was not as strongly repre-
scented i'll the convention this year as last
year is difficult to determine at this dis
lance. Probably the primary question
was lost sight of in hot campaign for
the Congressional nomination in the dis
trict of which Herkimer County is
part. The Congressional issue resulted
favorably for Mr.. Strobel's candidate and
doubtless helped him to gain complete
control Of the convention.
The result in any case shows the need
of vigorous and organized effort on the
part of direct primary advocates. Her
kimer County. after the victory Of last
year and the action of Assemblyman
Eveleth in failing TO carry cut his instruc
tons. would seem to have been favorable
ground for conducting an aggressive cam
paign AS an indication of present sen
timent III the state it will not do to at
tach too much Importance to the Herki
mer result. Not until q considerable
number Of county conventions have been
held will it be possible to say what prog
ress the direct primaries movement has
made in the last year.

taken for preventing the further pol

be found practicable and just.
An excellent example in the preven-
ton of further pollution was set last
week by the State Commission of Health
in refusing to approve the plans Of the
city Of Rochester for sending its sewage
into lake Ontario on the ground that
they did not provide for publication

to see, then. that the masses OF our
horse breeders have come under the
spell of the stock shows. With the
acceptance of the qualities as req
uisites in horses by the foremost breed
ers Of the country 1t is not strange that
the other breeders have accepted the
same standards and are following them
to some extent.
The showing Of horses will continue
to be popular. and the popularity will
increase with the Improvement in quail
ity, because it is easier to become en-
thusiastic over fine horse than over a
horse Of very ordinary qualities. The
higher the general qualities Of the
horses shown the more numerous will
be the entries, both because there will
be more horses than can possibly win
prizes and also because there will be
more widespread application OF the
wisdom of community breeding all
good horses rather than few good
horses and many poor ones.
