First "eaok from EIba" Slogan.

Reading Mir. Clifford Pinchot's pa- per to have been read before the Peo- ple's Forum at New Rochelle, N. r., on Conversation and Equal Oppor- tunity" recalls Roosevelt-brings back in fancy, (from the wilds of Africa)- and moves one to wonder whether, after all. the Rooseveltian era is of the past
 Our natural resources must be con- served, but for whose benefit-'for the benefit of the many, or for the use and the profit of the few?" A great con hict-an irrepressible conhct-is now being fought out between the men who stand for the Roosevelt policies and the men who stand against them" There is mo other question before us that begins to be so important or that will be so difficult to straddle."
 Hear the chief forester further:
 ''The people of the United States have been the complete victims of system of grab.
 "'rhe unhoIy alliance between busi- ness and politics is the most danger ous fact in our political life.
 Tt is time to take business out of politics. and keep it out; time for the political activity of the nation to be aimed squarely at the welfare of all of us. and squarely away from the ex- cessive profits of a few of us.
 "Too often we have seemed to for get that a man in public life can no more serve both the special interests and the people than he can serve God and Mammon.
 There are many men who believe, and who will always believe, in the divine right of money to rule. The only thing to do is to fight them and beat them."
 The term swollen fortunes" is pub Iicly uttered for the first time fin months; we hear of "wickedness in grinding the faces of the poor" the stifiing of competition by rebates or ether crooked devices, through corrup- tion Of public officials, or through seizing and monopolizing resources which belong to the people" and of the misery and degradation involved in the cost of living"
 Verify the fight is on- It will not down. A history making epoch is des. tined to follow the advent of the New Year.-Weshington Herald.

TROLLEY CHANGES
Expected to Go Into Effect During
 Present Month

It is said that the contemplated change of plan in running cars on the Putnam division of the Connecticut company will go into effect during the present month. It will probably mean that the crews on the cars of the Put nam division will finish their north ward run at West Thompson or there abouts, the cars going through to Webster as usual, but in charge of another crew from the adjoining di- vision. The change when made will mean that the hourly schedule on this division will be maintained. but with a saving in operating expense.

ALARM AT e.so A. M.
For Fire in Fireplace at Inn-Sur- prised Proprietor and Department.

It was extremely cold in this city Wednesday morning, but F. c. Rogers, proprietor of the Putnam inn, could hardly conclude that was the reason why the entire fire department was assembled on the square fronting his house when he came downstairs at 6.30. Fire departments do not usually aid in raising the temperature. He learned that the firemen had respond ed to an alarm for a fire at the inn. There was a fire-in the fireplace-and some excitable person, seeing the leap ing flames, with early morning uncer tainty immediately decided it was time to get out the fire department, and it was gotten out. But then, in case of false alarm, it is better to be called to hotel on a cold winter morning than to some other places in the city. It makes it warmer going hOmel

A STATE PRIMARY.

The Democratic State Committee
met at Louisville a few days ago
and decided upon primary as the
best method for nominating candi-
dates for state offices.
The decision was a proper one.
A primary election gives every one
in the party an equal chance to
participate 1t places the ballot box
so near every voter that he can
reach it with the least possible
trouble. Every member of the par
ty may vote and be sure his bal
lot will be counted 1t is the only
method that gives each voter an
equal voice. 1t is the only method
that is practically free from confu-
sion and wrangling at the polling
places.
Conventions are disagreeable, un.
satisfactory, even disgraceful often
er than otherwise The results of
conventions very seldom express
the win of the people.
The only argument offered
against a state primary is the ex-
pense In the present instance a
movement has already been started
to keep the cost down to a campara-
lively low figure Several counties
have already proposed to hold the
primary free of cost. Others VIII
no doubt follow. Still others VIII
make the cost very low. So 1t seems
certain that the only objection Of
fered will be removed. ......
