NEW HAMPsHIRE,s SENATOR.

The choice of H. F. Hollis as the senator from New Hampshire sends a democrat to Washington from the Granite state for the first in years and it adds strength to the senate which is needed to insure its demo- cratic majority. The republican state finds itself in the position of sending a tariff for revenue only senator to look after the interests of a manufac- turing commonwealth which knows the benefits of and needs a protective tariff The fight has been a long one and has demonstrated the harm which comes from divided house. The in ability of the opposition to Senator Hollis to agree upon one candidate prevents New Hampshire from send ing a republican to the senate at time when important tariff legislation is planned. It operated the same as election and means that the common enemy and the undesired principles win through the unwillingness of the factions to get together. It has been an example of the ineff1ciency of the method of selecting a senator and if there were not many others equally convincing it would furnish the basis for demand for changing the meth cd.
 New Hampshire has taken step which will be watched with interest. It means the advocacy in the upper house of congress of principles which are against the welfare of the many manufacturing interests of the state, if party interests are to be served.

T can but fail. and I am so tired of all have know here in the city. Moth CT came from the country, and when l was little girl, she used to talk it. Perhaps Nellie Browns mother would take me on trial. There is a little money in my purse, and the car fare is not much, Nellie said, "T will go the first chance I get. cannot be any worse off there than l am here"
 Consequently there appeared at Mrs. Browns door not long after, a slender, shy girl, who told her simple story and look strong enough" objected Mrs. Brown. Wouldn't I grow stronger here in the country 7 asked Phoebe. T would like to try it, l have never manner and wistful looks touched Mrs. Browns heart Gan you p1 onise to be clean and honest" she inquired. dc need help the worst way, and my own girl dislikes the country What made you think of coming?

Yes, you may work for my board and the chance of a home, until you think I am able to earn more" pleaded Phoebe, and she spent her first night in a hospitable farmhouse with a happier heart then had been hers for months.
 How delightful the awakening was on the following morning! Early risers though they were, the household found Phoebe out doors drawing in such as she had never before known. Her evident delight in all the new sights and sounds was an amusement to all who witnessed it. The first bluebird was a wonder to her, and tho robins coming fearlessly about the lawn were an amaZement. T didn't suppose they came about the houses" she said. The chickens and every other living thing on the farm were so great a surprise and pleasure to her!
 And she soon made herself useful in many ways, even doing more than she was desired to do.
 Mrs. Brown quickly found her help fuJ enough to be paid for her services, and greatly pleased the girl by telling her so. The required strength came with the good food and her life in the pure air. Her cheeks began to grow plump, and her form rounded out, and she proved the truth of the old adage that happiness is the greatest of all beautifiers. Nellie on her first visit home exclaimed over the girls altered looks. "Fd never have known you. Why, you are positively growing hand some!''
 Well why shouldn't I improve in looks? returned Phoebe. T never knew till now what good home meant, and your mother is so good to me, and the country is so lovely! How you can prefer the city I cannot understand
 There we must leave her, happy in her country home. never regrettlng for one mement her decision to leave the city, As for Mrs. Brown, she declares she never had so valuable help, though it was risky, I must confess, she added and I don't know that I'd dare try it again.

wHlTMAN's CANDIDACY.

For long time District Attorney Whitman of New York city has been talked of for the mayor of New York. It was recognized that his efforts in behalf of a better New York made him at once the logical candidate for the important office even though his good influences were needed in the position he holds. His willingness to accept the nomination from any Independent organization makes him the man to head the fusion ticket against the forces of Tammany. The rrayoralty of New I ork city is< an of fee which demands a man of the call foer of Whitman who during his pres entSterm has demonstrated a strength Of character and a fearlessness in the running down of vice and graft and the upholding of law which quail flies him to receive the highest honor the citizens of the metropolis could give him.
 The defeat of Tammany is desired lay the opposing forces. For each party to nominate a. candidate simply means the assurance of a Tammany victory. Fusion is therefore the only ccurse which can be pursued with chance of success and such has ap- pealed to the. republicans and pro- gressfees. Their strongest man is needed and in Mir Whitman there is offered the opportunity of combining upon a man who is uppermost in the esteem of the people. His conduct of the ofT1ce Of mayor of New York if patterned after his conception of the duties of district attorney. would give the city a chief executive of whom they could be proud.

PHOEBE SINCLAIR'S EXPERIENCE

Phoebe Sinclair was 8 seamstress in a large dressmaking establishment in a crowded city. She could remember no other life than that of hustling, bustling toll in dismal surroundings, both in shop and home, if it could be termed home. Tonight she sat alone in her little room, third story back in an inferior boarding house. Forlorn indeed but the best she could provide for herself on her meaGre earnings. Often she had sat there moping by herself, but tonight she was deeply thinking, recalling her past life and it had been since childhood. Her moth CT was as kind to the child as she could be under the circumstances, but what could discouraged, over worked woman do to make child happy Worn out before middle life by hard work enduring the privation and cruelty coming from an incorporate husband, whom she clung to in spite of all ill-treatment her only child, though dear to her received but little atten- as her little fingers gould hold a needle, for the small pittance she could earn was a help in the household.
 At last the man in a, drunken quar- rel was so badly injured that his death followed quickly in the hospital to which he was taken. The poor wife out-lived him only a short time, and Phoebe was left to struggle on alone.
 
 monotony of the day without much thought of it's responsiveness but to- day chance word from the many girls employed in the same room with her had set her thinking, and she re- alized more than usual how miserable was her lot in life. The girls were talking of their homes in the country and the season being early spring, they recalled the many signs of approach ing life to which they were accus-
 
 themselves that they were where some thing could be seen of life, as they termed it, for the country was dull. nothing to be seen but green grass and the birds and the flowers, and the good things mother used to cook. But give me- said one, a chance to get out on the brightly lighted streets in the pay me for all I have given up in coming here.''
 "I agree with you" responded her friend. My folks think I am needed at home. but no more country life for me- tell Mother she must get help some other way. I am not going to stay at home and drudge, not if I know my self" Same here,' replied the first speaker Mother told me last time I was home to send her some one, if I could not come but who would want to live in Fernside, when she could live in New York ?''
 Phoebe seldom spoke to her mates in the sewing-room, and had gained the reputation of being morose and surly, but now she plucked up courage 10 ask, will you tell me where Fern side is and your mothers address ?" A look of surprise accompanied the re- ply. Do you want to try it? You will have to step lively to suit my mother, I can tell you. She never wants any slow pokes around, but she does need some one to help her. Per haps you will do, if you try. and yeu would have good home, I can testi- fly that you are no firt at all events"
 So Phoebe sat in her room thinking with a great longing for the woods and meadows. the birds and flowers, and the

SURPLUS SUPPLIES.

Nature has been particularly con- siderate to the consumer for the past year through the record breaking crops and the miIdness of the weather. All has contributed to relieving the sit uatfon which would have prevailed had the opposite conditions existed. : The departm of agriculture re- gently estimated that at the begin ming of this month that there was an enormous surplus of food products in the barns of the American farmers. With an increase over the surplus of a year ago of forty three million bush els of wheat, there is in stock over four hundred million bushels of corn in excess of this time a year ago. Both as to the corn and the oat crop over forty per cent. of the 1912 yield is still in hand. Similar conditions pre- vail with other products. Potatoes for instance which were being inn ported a year go are available in quantities in thfs. country for export The mild winter has greatly increased the supply of eggs and despite the activity in beating down the market there is twice the surplus on hand that there was a year ago in cold storage and prices have steadily been tumbling.
 Benefits to the farmers and likewise to the consumers will result from these conditions which insure that@in these lines there will be no difficulty in supplying the market and that the wolf can be kept from the door with less effort. Relief in price should also be an accompaniment of the disburse- ment of these large supplies.

LETTERING CITY BUSINESS.

Every city has it's experiences with the failure of municipal government in many instances to do business the basis which characterizes private bus mess. Because it is the city there is a tendency to slight responsibiI- ity which no business man would for a minute consider. The same thing exists even to a greater extent in national government and the eff forts in behalf of economy and eff ciency as taken up by the past ad- ministration demonstrates this con clusively There is need for system attic investigation for the overcoming of these conditions and Springfield is seeking the benefits of such through a municipal survey of the city gov ernment
 As is pointed out by the Indian apols News Tt Is not a question of wrongdoing any more than it is so in the mana cement of a private buSi- ness: simply a question of finding out the best way Many manufacturing establishment, for example, has found that it was wasting hundreds of hours week by not properly assembling it's material. A survey in brick laying not long ago resulted in aban- doning half a dozen useless motions in the handling of a brick from the pile to it's place in the wall. To rem edy this, of course. was to increase the efficiency of the whole process enormously
 Municipal administrations need to be corrected in their wasteful ways. Such economy can often be accom- plished by bettering the methods of doing business, the elimination of du pIication and overlapping which abounds. A survey for a city ought to accomplish what an expert account ant would for a business which was not operated on a successful business ho Gi

can keep his track in good shape un- less he has one or more men who know how to do their work without constant telling any more than the boss of the big machine shops can build engines with men who know nothing of the work and those men who make the road have to learn how. Many a section man works six teen years and then gets the same pay that the new men get the first season, but the old hands must do all of the hard, particular work and there is no hope of promotion. The section men get $1.60 per day, or $960 a week, or $3s.40 per month. Most of them rent $500. fuel s2.oo. groceries. meat. milk, etc, S20.00, means $30.00. That leaves S8.40 for clothes, sickness in surance and pleasure. A family of four (with two children) will need at least s2.00 per month for shoes and rubbers and that leaves $6.40, or $1.60 per week for stockings, underclothing and all other family expenses. MT. Bell had only one suit year and an overcoat every two years. How can 8, section man get comfortable working clothes on his part of the in come that is set apart for clothes ? The fireman's wife had "on1y two new dresses a year. How often can a section mans wife with two or more children have a new dress?

THE NEWSPAPER LAW.

Opposition to the newspaper pub 1icity law has been persistent ever since it's passage even to an attack upon it's constitutionality which is now pending before the supreme court. It constitrtes a piece of legislation which went through congress. not on its own merits but attached to one of the important bills and is an un- just law. It enacts from the news papers of the country a compliance under the penalty of the loss of the privileges of the United States mail.
 From among the nine per cent, of the newspapers of the country who have not compiled with the require ments. the New York Times says: fsIation attempt to justify it by the much affected with a public interest the public is entitled to know who owns them. to the end that if great capitalists or other indicators are in control of their utterances, their readers may be informed of the fact. The owlish stupidity of this reason ing has been perfectly apparent to persons who understand tho relation between newspapers and their read CTS. A newspaper is judged by its contents, by its news columns and its editorial opinions, and In forming their judgment upon these matters its read CTS do not needl to be told whe the owners are newspaper that does not speak for itself Is very quickly found out, So the new 1aw is super= dueua."

PETERS TO THE EDITOR.
The Fireman and the Section Man.

MT. Editor: I was very much inter ested in the article Wages High but Always in Debt, in the Bulletin of March 12. Fireman James A. Bell says he receives $100 per month. His expenses: Grocery bill, $25; fuel bill, $2.0o: rent, SIS; insurance s7.00; moving pictures, 200; total $49.20. Where does the other $50 go? It takes sixteen years for a fireman at $100 per month to become an engineer.
 Now no matter how expert the en- gineer and fireman are they must have a fair track to run on and section foreman must be responsible. If he can get good men 1t is his good luck and if he has 10 take men who can't tell a pick from shovel the company expects him to keep his track in good order just the same.

Ratsl RattsI

MT Editor: There is sometimes a strange coincidence in dissimilar things in life. The public and rats were first introduced to Rough on Rats, put up in attractive boxes, but now we have as well what may be called rough on rats put up in legislative enact ment.
 A Keene fellow down in Jersey, who although almost penniless at the time, leaving $100.000. We will not call this rat money filthy Iucre, for it cleaned up a rood many rats.
 The second rough on rats was orig mated recently by Senator Rats, who introduced into the Indiana legislature a bill providing for an annual rat kill ing day. The bill was passed and signed by the governor.
 Pretty good for New Jersey and h. diana, the homes of our new presi- dent and vice president. Don't you think so? May we not confidently look for a fly killing day, created by the of the democrats discover too many flies on Governor Baldwin?
 Progressive ideas are now as plenty as mosquitoes soon will be in New Jer- sey.
 It is to be hoped that Ratts did not fail to provide for the extermina tion of all the two-Iegged rats that hang around the lobby of the legislature, as well as the quadruped rats.
 Rata tat-tat! Let nothing but use- ful work be done in the legislatures. it. The others ought to get rats at the next election.
