CLOSING TRIBUTARIES
 AIDED ESSEX FISHERMEN

Essex, June 12.-The most success full shad fishing season in several years for the catches this year have been far greater than last season and the prices for the catch of fair pro- portion. About 6,5O0 were caught here.
 From all appearances the bill pro- hibiting the fishing in the tributaries of the Connecticut which has been passed by the recent State Legislature has had a tendency to help the fish ing here and another year the results are expected to be even better.

STATE VS. COMMITTEE

The great state of California has recently adopted a law establishing the manner in which politicaLparties shall hold primary elections. This law throws about the primar- l ies all the safeguards and sanctions which had earlier been thrown about elections. sg.ss s4 sss.es .s.-ssz-s..ss<s,, Under this law the primaries be- came a means by which the party vo- ters might directly and certainly ex-
 nominees of their party. The op- portunities and risks of the ancient system of boss control were destroy ed.
 The California law provided with respect to the choice of a candidate for president of the United States that the voters of the state might ex- press a preference, which preference should be binding upon all the dele- gates to the Republican national con- vention chosen within the Jurisdiction
 of California.
 Now the rule established by Cali fornia law did not conform to the
 rule of the National Republican com
 mittee, which is threatening to un- seat the California delegates for that reason.
 The question is therefore raised as to whether party committee can re- fuse to seat the regularly elected del- egates of a sovereign state for the reason that the law of that state prescribes a manner of election which differs from the manner prescribed by the committee.
 If such right exists in the na-
 tional committee of a party. it be-
 comes apparent that all the laws
 passed by states to protect primary elections might be nullified so far as
 national primary elections are con- cerned. This would be in the highest degree against public policy.
 Yet it appears that, regardless of 1 equities, the national committees of the great parties have that power. There is nothing in the law, ap- parently. to prevent national com mittee from making up the tempo
 rary roll of national convention as
 it pleases. The delegates seated by the committee are the convention and | they can do as they please, even though their pleasure may be to null l lify the will of the vast majority Of
 party voters legally cast in accord
 ance with specific instructions of law | in the several states.
 The remedy is national law gov
 erning presidential primaries. The jurisdictions of the states, sing1y or combined, is no more ade- | quate to cover the operations of an | interstate party than they are to con-
 trol and regulate the operations of an interstate railroad.
 The bill to regulate presidential
 primaries offered by Senator Bourne or an Improvement on it is plainly necessary to meet the situation. One of the provisions of this law
 should be that those delegates to a political convention regularly chosen under the law of a state shall not be
 unseated because they have chosen to obey THE LAW rather than the RULE OF A PARTY COMMITTEE.

THE FARMER: JUNE 12, 1912

ganizing Charitable Relief and Repres- sing Mendicity" This body was the
 parent of all the various municipal
 societies in Great Britain, the United States and Canada, known as associat-
 ed charities, united charities, and by
 similar titles. The purpose of the
 London society was to bring the var
 iOus relief agencies into administra-
 tive cooperation, and thus to do away
 with the evils resulting from indis-
 criminate alms-giving. Working at
 cross purposes and without scientific
 and exact knowledge of the conditions
 with which they attempted to deal, charitable bodies had fostered pauper-
 ism and were responsible for an army
 of brazen mendicants. For one case of real misery relieved, the charity or ganizations maintained dozen people
 capable of self-support. The new sys- tenn did away with most of those ev- ills.
 Boston was the first Amseican city to attempt to organize it's charitable
 bodies and to provide common cen ter for carrying on their work, and a Charity Building was erected in 1869
 as the official home of the various
 municipal and private relief associa- tions. Germantown, a suburb of Phil adelphia, was also early in the field, and the success of the movement there led to the formation of similar bod ies for charitable administration all over the continent.

so much business accumulated for him
at The Outlook office that he would
have no time for any political confer

However, he said he expected calls
from few personal friends during the
afternoon. He refused to make any
statement on the result of the election,
saying he wanted full official returns

Third Party to
Complicate Congress

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The vote
cast last Tuesday for Roosevelt, placing
him second in most states and first in a
few, is expected to complcate matters
this winter in Washington when it
comes TO naming presidential commit
tees and boards and the making up of
congressional committees. According
to long usage, members of the minority
are also recognized by the majority
leaders and given appointments.
Senator Dixon already is out with
unseated the old line Republicans in
second place.
In addition to this, presidents fail to
disclose any reason why President elect
Wilson after March should not APP
point Progressives upon committees
and boards instead or Republicans,
should he desire to do So
Progressive Rule.
But when ii comes to action by con-
gress. there is a different situation
There is no question but that there will
be more Republicans in the house and
senate than Progressives, yet many of
these Republicans have strong Progress
sive tendencies and are members of the
insurgent band which united with the
Democrats in overthroWing Speaker
Cannon. Therefore. If this Republican
faction in congress sees fit to unite with
the majority. it is quite possible that
the OLD line Republicans will be a neg
ligible force when it comes to a round
ing up of the patronage and the com
mittee- appointments To add to the
general unrest in congressional camps.
it is quite possible that with the Demo-
cratic majority practically doubled last
Tuesday, the Democrats will split into
two factions on legislation. The rift
has already appeared in the attitudes
of Representatives Burleson and Henry.
of Texas. They are notably out Of
sympathy with Floor Leader Under
wood. and Representative Henry as
pires to the speakership OF the house.

publican floor leader of the senate.

Wilson and to vote for Taft, has kept
himself in the Republican ranks. Sin

HOUSES
FOR JERUSALEM
Garden City Suburban Plans
Projected by EngIiShmen to
Aid Conditions.

LONDON, Nov. S.-The housing ques-
ton III Jerusalem is one that is receiving
considerable attention al the present
moment. There are many fine buildings
in and about the Holy city. but they are
surrounded by what in this country
would be called Sums. \ few wealthy
Bokhara Jews have, indeed built them
selves fine mansions. but the great mass
Of the population can scarcely afford to
nave decent houses
y project has accordingly been mooted
in England OF forming a small garden
suburb outside Jerusalem, in which the
houses VIII be let TO the better class
artisan at rental OF something between
$40 and $50 per annum The garden city
movement has made great progress in
this country; it is recognized as Offering
an excellent solution for the housing
problem of large industrial cities, and at
the same time fostering the love of the
land and of nature, which the modern
concentration OF the poulation in towns
has threatened
Land can be bought fairly cheap in the
outskirts of Jerusalem. and II has been
calculated that a substantial little
house, with half an acre Of ground could
be provided Tor about $1,000.
The garden could be planted with figs,
olives and kitchen vegetables, for which
there is a market in the city, and the
tenant would thus be enabled TO add
little TO his income by the care of his
land. The house would be laid out ac-
cording to a plan, which would preserve
the natural beauty OF the site
Communication with the city would be
established by bus, or possibly IL the
concession could be obtained, by tram
way.
The success of Tel Arbid, the colony
outside of Jaffa, augurs well for the pro-
posed movement for Jerusalem, where the
need is much greater than in Jaffa. II
the scheme succeeds completely II will
certainly be the forerunner OF many 9TH
crs. Besides, it win preserve the beauty
OF the hills around the Holy city
Sir John Grey Hin. who for thirty years
has possessed a beautiful house on ore
of the spires of the Mount Of Olives. is
very much interested in the garden city
scheme.
