COERCING THE KING


 The appropriation bill was the ten- der spot of kings. The liberties of nations have been largely extended by the refusal of parliaments to grant supplies until ,monarchs granted re- forms.
 Immemorially the French and Eng fish pariiaments have added as riders 10 appropriation bills measures obnox- ious to their rulers, which the latter could not destroy without destroying the grant of money.
 So there is long precedent behind the method of Congress. in tacking matter to which the executive is op- posed. to the appropriation bill.
 This method seems not quite neces- sary under the circumstances existing in this country at this time.
 If Congress desires to affect the sta tus of General Wood by legislation it would be much better to put its ce- sires into a separate bill.
 The means that served against kings are not necessarily required against presidents.

ATTRACTING A
 FEDERAL JUDGE

The articles of lmpeAchment di- rected against Judge Archibald by the Judiciary committee ascribe to him a grosser group of offenses than usual ly characterize the ermine. He is charged with accepting presents from persons interested in litigation before his court, with seeking loans from other litigants, and with using the prestige of his office with.certain rail- road litigants to obtain favorable price on "culm heaps.'' culn heap being pile of waste coal, part of which is reclaimabIe.
 The demand for the recall is not a product of the gross perversion of office attributed to Archibald. It is rather due to the general belief that the judges are not in sympathy with the, country in certain important social and economic matters, and that their decisions are too much number. of persons. or interests.
 There probably is not much direct personal corruption among the judges.
 Nevertheless the courts have been so free from public scrutiny for many years, and so exempt from criticism. that the judicial institution, in many parts of the country. is in a sad state.
 
 Something of the conditions that exist among the Federal Courts are indicated in the recent report of At torney General Wickersham, who found that the accounts of many courts had been shiftlessly kept, and that a relatively large number of cases of misappropriation of funds existed.
 These offenses again did not effect the personal integrity of the judges. It was the clerks who handled the funds, and they were responsible for the embezzlements.
 But the clerks are responsible to the judges, and the judicial house

HILL MAKES REPORT
CONGRESSMAN SUGGESTS CON- TEMPTATION OF THREE COM MANDMENTS BY TEDDY'S MAN. AGERS. M

Ebenezer Hill of Connecticut, Re- publican member of the House Ways and Means committee, made the fol- lowing comment on the national pro- gressive platform yesterday:
 .sThe ten comma ndments as a whole would make mighty good plat form for any party, but Dixon ought not to stop with one of them. In view of the progressive platform being given out Sunday, I would suggest that they at least add Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy and also for the benefit of the prospective can didate Thou shalt not covet any, thing that is thy neighbors, and fin- ally for the benefit of Dixon himself, he should add, Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

HOW TO PAVE
 PARTED AVENUE

The permanent paving commission sis to be congratulated upon it's deter imitation to, pave Fairfield avenue without delay Its fears that tha Connecticut company may delay the work are groundless. Its attitude toward the Connecticut company should be that it is the duty of the company to conform with the city's order promptly.
 Tn making this order the commis- sion, or the Common Council, as the case may be, should see that it is in full legal form, and that a reason able time is allowed in which to do the work.
 At the expiration of this reasonable time the city should do the work it. self. and bring suit to collect from the company.
 If the company proceeds in good faith to buy the necessary materials and do its share of the work. we'll and good.
 If the company does not proceed in good faith, if it evinces a purpose to delay and impede the work, the au- thorities must act accordingly.
 Too long the city has suspended necessary public improvements upon the plea that. some public service corporation was unprepared. or un- Mzllink, to do what it ought to do.

THE FARMER: JULY g, 1912

R. Jones. chairman of the national committee. ''It is. not a progressive name, and does not truly reflect the party's character. We are progressive in all things. Of course, our basic principle is the suppression of the li- quor traffic, but even prohibition does mot fully express that.
 K Our party is the original progress sive party, and at this convention we expect to deal carefully and progress sively with all the big political issues of the time. For many years the movement to change the name has been growing, and in this campaign I would not be surprised to see the movement a success. The name pro gressive' was suggested several years ago, and our official newspaper now contains the word progressive in it's title. Other names that have been suggested are the American and lib erty' party. tr s.
 We do not believe that third par ty, headed byhMr. Roosevelt, will have any effect upon the cause in the next campaign. Our people know that MT. Roosevelt is not at all in sympathy with our movement"

FIRST THINGS

ThA first sewing machine was in vented by Elias Howe, who was born at Spencer, Mass, ninety-three years ago today. Howe was a manufactur. er of cotton-rrlilI machinery at Lowell Mass. when he first began work or the sewing machine idea. He com pieted his first crude machine in May 1S45, and was granted United States patent 2 little over a year later. Fol a time he had the usual i'll luck o1 inventors, and for eight years had tc fight against public indifference, pow erty and the dishonesty of those who sought to steal his great invention In 1854 he established his claim fol priority. Then wealth and honore were showered upon him, the French government conferring upon him the cross of the Legion of Honor. Before the expiration of his patent Howe realized about $2.000,000. He died ir 1867.

SPRINGFIELD'S GARBAGE

Springfield has decided to inciner- ate it's garbage. The plant. is locat- ed in the midst of residential dis tricE There is no difficulty, athere- fore, in predicting an abundance of dissatisfaction in Springfield.

wANTED AN HONEST RIDE =ss
 FOR AN HONEST NICKEL

FOR AN HONEST NICKEL ~~t=@Sf *----1 - = e--- Through the agency of the Public Utilities Comms- sion the public which rides trolley has gained considerable victories. *s1s a@ #"
 The first was the installation of the double step The second the order requiring keep off the running boards. s4 s.. s..ss4~. 1.s...@aF<s @s
 One reform is needed It is an order that the com pny must furnish enough to seat it's patrons If this latter order is not forthcoming the public will finally be bulldozed crowded ja1nined into acquiesenee der restoring the running board profit aker for the company.
 Saturday, not few running out of the city packed with persons between the seats
 Other persons left by the road side to wait for other cars
 Some waited for two three cars. This was notably the case with the cars running to New Haven. From Bridgeport Milford passengers were subjected to great inconvenience Yet all that necessary to relieve the pressure trailer additional car from Bridgeport to Milford
 The company preferred to "pack them in, or leave them by the roadside.
 Much will be done to obtain better service if every body refuses to make way for persons between seats Such potenes injustice to the public, for it enables the trolley monopoly to continue to overcrowd it's cars
 An observance of three simple rules will make trolley riding in Bridgeport and it's envrons profitable
 l. Conductors and passengers should insist that the running boards be kept clear
 2 Passengers should resent having persons between the seats eA
 3. Passengers should refuse to board crowded cars, and should make complaint to the Public Utilities Com mission
 The business of transporting persons through the streets of Bridgeport by trolley is profitable business
 Every passenger entitled to the treatment as every other, that is tosay, a seat.
 To permit, MT. Passenger, another passenger to be crowded into space belonging to you is the equivalent of giving part of your purchase in butcher shop to body ee not to benefit somebody else but to increase the profits of the butcher
 Butchers have hard work to make living. There many of then and their expenses high and they bothered by hesbeef trust and other trusts
 The butcher nevertheless, expects to give you what you buy He doesn expect you to share your purchase with somebody else, so that he make money.
 A trolley company has No oCo1LPETITION: It has the field all toitse The business it does is profitable business. ef
 It has neither moral legal right to demand part of sitting for another passenger to stand in.
 It has neither moral nor legal right to eopardize the safety of passengers by overcrowding cars.
