The Buying Power of Sl.75.

A little money sometimes buys
a good deal. For instance, take
the subscription price of The
Youth Companion for a year
Sr7s. If all the good reading in the
81 weekly issues of the paper were
published in book form, according
to its kind, il would make about
thirty volumes of fiction, science,
ESSAYS by famous writer's, household
management and economies, sports
and pastimcs for boys, natural
history, anecdotes, humor, etc.
The serial stories alone would fill
several volumes. Among these is
Ralph paine's great story Of the
Boxer Rebellion in China, "The
Cross and the Dragon. Another is
by J. w. Schultz, who was adopted
by the Blackfcet when a boy. II
is called "The Quest for the Fish
Dog Skin" Another is a glorious
girls story by &. A. Stephens, called
"Julia Sylvester. 1t IS the story
of Mercer" girl in the pioneer
days of Oregon aud Washington
and that is only part Of the serials.
II will cost you nothing 10 send
for the beautiful Announcement
of The Companion for 1919, and we
will send with it sample copies OF
the paper.
DO not forget that the new sub
scriber for 1912 receives a gift of
The Companion Calendar for 1912,
Autographed in ten colors aud gold,
and all the issue for the remaining
weeks of 1917 free from the time
the subscription is received.

THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.

Connecticut had imposed upon her Ay the last legislature a cumbersome and lny devised blanket ballot which ssshas wrongfully been called the Aus trralian ballot. which it resembles srbont as much as an auction bill re- rembles an invitation to d pink tea.
 The Connecticut ballot was a suc- Ss-ssion of party tickets. with a par n i<sn hslo on the top of each and with e blank ticket for the ultra-indepen- fo-nt voter te make up for himself if She could not find in the "Sriss- kross' 3 ag,uzzle of the five tickets in the field saen of ability and character to meet Jlis idca of candidates. Not being ac- 5uvsinted with halos and their use. it ss not surprising that thousands of '~-oters were confused and lost their >otes because Of technical errors in frhe matter of marking the ballots as s1ae law directs.
 Massachusetts has voted the Aus efalian ballot for many years IL is made up in block form with the names Tor each Set of offices gronped to- fether with the name of the office and 1nstructfons whether to mark one eanle or two in the blank checking ssraces st the right hand. and with VI blank line or more. as the ease may require. for an additional name CT two.

Responsibility for Water.

The supreme court of Minnesota has handed down decision which, if it were generally upheld, might affect many of the cities of the country. It is to the effect that municipalities in that state are liable for damage suits for the death of citizens who contract disease through drinking polluted city water The appellants were two worn- en, residents of MaIl0atO, whose hus- bands died in a, recent epidemic of ty- phoid. They alleged that the death of their husbands was due to the negli
 gence of the city in allowing it's water supply to become polluted with sew age. thus causing an epidemic in which a number of people died. The city demurred on the ground that as a government it could not be sued and was exempt because it was carrying out a government function. The court rules that suit can be maintained against the city and that the city is liable if damages can be proved.
 The principal difficulty in such case would be to prove that there was any culpable negligence. Even though it were admitted that sewage had got ten into the water, the probability would be that tine thing was acci- dental and remedied just as soon as it might be as stated, the city could hardly be held responsible and com
 pelled to pay damages Doubtless 1t is right that a citizen be able to bring suit against the city, but there prob ably would not be one case in a hun
 dred in which the facts would be such as to warrant the citizen collecting money for the damage done. If it were generally believed that such damages could be collected we can see long series of such suits against cities in all parts of the country. For a city is an impeTsonal thing and, in the minds of many people, a fit object for Newburyport News.

Neiehbor Valiette Reflects.

Alr. Editor Reading tho New Years resolutions of the governor, ex- gov ernor and the mayors of the cities m two counties. puts one in mind of the small boy going by the cemetery on d dark night He whistles to keep up his courage. l wondered, after reading the Willinantic mayors lit tic piece, if there was any mayor in that town city in Ohio, and if he wrote and had published his New Years resolution. I mean in that place where there were 50 families composed of men, women and about 200 children, that were in danger of starving to death. And no farther away than the great city of New York nine tons of eggs were condemned
 One would Honser how far those eggs would have gone towards preventing the threa tened starvation, before those eggs had become of age. Then again.
 one might wonder how much less flour would be eaten on account of the tWelV" million dollars mortgage placed on the milling plants in Minnesota
 Wisconsin. New York and New Jer- sey One might wender how much
