There isN bill before the Massa-

F'oss gives notice he is waiting anx-

cause it does away with party con-

subject to nomination by direct vote

ator, representative, congressman, and

The whole convention business is
to go by the board, so far as nonlinat-
ing candidates is concerned There
will be state convention of each
party to frame a platform and listen
to political oratory. but convention
contests over the Nomination of can

are designed to overcome, if possible,

voters to public issues, as we'll as to

There is no need for that wild dash,

poised uneasily on one leg with his cap

Where were you going?v asked his
father.
''Aw, the sun is shinin' yet" ex-

little chat with me just before dinner,
and | believe she's sort of curious.
too, but / told her to leave it to me
to ask the questions. What were you
doing on HinlSins' grocery wagon after
school today?
Billy looked up with startled air,
and then tried to dig a blue rose out of
the rug with the toe of his shoe.

Helping? What do You mean?
"Helpin' on the wagon" Billy ex-

knew about it. He's an awful old

We'll, then, what is the idea ~
Billy slowly swung half way around
and heaved deep sigh.
It's secret" he announced, firm
ly.

.-Oh. that's it. eh?' exclaimed his
father. A secret. Well. young man.
unless YOU make up your mind to dig
up that secret in about one minute
and half there will be something
happening here that won't be a secret
to anybody in this block Anytime
you think you can stay away from
home the whole afternoon, when your
mother wants you to do forty different
things, and work on somebody
tell me it's a secret-say, whom do you
think you're talking TOP
Would you-would you tell if told
your inquired Billy.
We'll, l don't know" said his father
cautiously. That depends on what II
is What's all this secrecy got to do
with Hinkins and his grocery wagons '
I'VE swore n OATH declared Billy,
'sthat none of US would tell because
the Liberty's would find out we got a
professional pitcher. So if l tell you
and you tell it. then they've got it on
me- he ended almost tearfully.
See herel" said his father. I've
had enough of this nonsense about Sc
crets and oaths and things. I want
to- know what you were working on
that grocery wagon for, and want to
know quick"
We'll, you know, Lefty Maginn, he
drives a wagon for Hinkins, explained
Billy, land he's the best pitcher of any
one around here-he gets a. half dollar
a game if he wins. So we was goin' to
play the Libertys, off the other side OF
Maple avenue, this afternoon at 8
o'clock and we wanted Lefty to pitch
for us, and he couldn't if he wasn't
through work, so four of us said we'd
help himsand we had to swear n oath
not to tell for fear the Libertys would
find out We had a. professional. He's
goin' to pitch for US for a quarter, De
cause we helped him on the wagon"

where is this quarter to come from ?"

THE LAWS DELAY.

1t is common and popular to blame
the miscarriage of justice to the tech
meal delays of the courts which the
attorneys find excuse for. and to keep
silent about the loose administration
of the law by the courts.
The Rutland News is of the opinion
that fragrant failure to enforce law is
at the bottom of much of the popular
disrespect of the law. In illustrating
this point. it says:
There was conspicuous instance
Of this kind in Springfield. Mass, a
few days ago. 1t was a small matter,
perhaps, yet it showed that the lack
enables criminals at times to slip from
the clutches of the law. In this
Springfield case a man pleaded guilty
to the charges of drunkenness and
carrying a concealed weapon, and the
law says the maximum penalty shall
be inflicted for the latter offense when
in connection with it the defendant IS
guilty of any other. But instead of
inflicting the penalty the court con-
tinued the drunkenness case from day
to day. and in the other case the man
was placed on probation.
"Of what use are stringent laws if
they are to be thus administered
What is the use of worrying about the
technicalities of the law which make
conviction difficult, when defendants
convicted or pleading guilty are al
lowed to walk off in this manner?"
Any administration of justice which
checks the ardor of the police and
makes them fearful and cautious in
