As Ia tlle Short Rnllnt.

Active advocates of the short ballot
are taking advantage of the cumber-
some ballot used at the recent election
in many places to re-enforce their
arguments, and It. must be conceded
that ballot nearly four feet in length
is a pretty formidable argument for
something shorter.
In all probability most, If not all
voters, would beiivery glad to have a
short ballot. and it is desirable that
casting a ballot shall be made as easy
and convenient as possible consistent
with the integrity OF the election. 1t
Is. possibly true that the large official
ballot, together with some of the re-
strfctions regarding registration de-
ter many citizens from voting, and
some Of these are those who should
be most interested.
But however desirable the short
ballot may be, the Philadelphia Press
is Of the opinion that 1t is mush cas-
Ter to talk about it than 1t is to get
It. 1t would be possible to have a
short ballot If the people were will
ing to surrender the privilege they
now enjoy of electing all their pub
lie servants by popular vote, and per-
hitting much larger proportion OF
them to be appointed by one author
ity or another.
But no willingness to do that has
been shown On the contrary there
has been decided opposition to such a
change, Among the ten constitution
al amendments submitted in Pennsyl-
vania four years ago was one which
opened the way for the legislature
to provide a method of appointing
election officers Instead of having
them chosen by popular vote. The
people rose up in resentment and
that was the only one of the ten
amendments that was defeated, and
1t was defeated decisively.
The names of candidates for cleo
ton officers on the ballot, Of course,
increases its size to that extent, but
if public sentiment is against having
those minor officials appointed by
some recognized authority what other
officers now elective would be will
ing to have made appointive? This
is the difficulty in the path of the
short ballot, and it. win likely be 4
long time before 1t is removed.

GIynn Ms n Reformer.

Governor Glynn declares that he
viii follow in the footsteps of Govern
or Hughes and Governor Sd1zer. He
expects to have direct primary law
in New York by January41. He also
announced that he will mot be a .candi-
date for denomination and re-elec-
ton. Glynn's course throughout the
sulzer Impeachment trial was digni-
fed, able and sensible. If he is a
Tammany man he is a superior prod
uct of the rTammany organization.
1t is not impossible that Tammany
will find in Glynn a great foe and a
more powerful advocate of reform
measures than the Tanting Sulzer
could have been Wheeling Intelli-
gencer.

Mest Yfreinin Cllmnte.

Not long ago a party of Clarksburg-
ers returned from an extended tour
of the far West and on being asked
BY the stay-at-homes what they found
out there, they exclaimed: Climate
and real estate!' and assured the in
terrogators that there was plenty of
both. All who have gone west know
that the people of that section adver-
tisc, praise and recommend their
salubrious climate so frequently that
the words come from their lips spon-
taneously and subconsciously;. and
the day with tourists is largely taken
up otherwise by the pleadings and in
ducements OF real estate agents.
1t does not appear necessary, how
ever, for West Yirginians to seek far
for an almost similar reclamation Of
meteorological conditions. Like the
thirsting mariners adrift in small
boat on the mouth of the Amazon who,
in reply to request for water were
told to dip 1t up, West Virginians have
fine climate all around them. The

AS has often been observed, this is
ans age OF specialization, OF studious
attention to details, Of economic thrift.
What ten years ago was single trade
or profession today embraces a score

Carpenter, of skowhegan, Maine, APP
pears to be entitled to the biscuit, to-
gether with the container, its nails,
glue, paper, wrappings and the
crumbs.
Having read carefully one day that
10000 or so hens were being killed
every day in Maine by passing auto
mobiles, Joel sat down and studied
deeply into the problem that has
puzzled all America for generations
and furnished minstrel companies
with Jokes countless and imperlshable:
why does a chicken cross the road?"
Mr. Carpenter found that hens are
few degrees less foolish than roost-
ers and he observed that in flocks
where there are no ROSTERS there is
a hen that seems to be boss-some-
times two Of them. .Thereupon he
conceived the idea, of training hens
for enlightened leadership.
BY picking out certain sensible
looking hens, footing an automobile
horn and "shooing" the biddies back
and forth, Mr. Carpenter very patient
lys trains them the way danger lies.
When the hens have become, expert on
the location of sound and always run
away from the horn, he sells them
/ singly or in pairs to farmers whose
hens and ROSTERS are all foolish.
Mr.. Carpenters self-found vocation
while strikingly novel has all the
merits of a profitable and interesting
calling; and it may be set up as an
example of the wonderful opportuni-
ties afforded by specialization.

schools falls far short of true useful
ness for the reason that teachers can

The need of good writing is not yet

The editor of the Morgantown Post
Chronicle advances some excellent
ideas on the subject as follows, al
though it is conjectural as to whether
he can practice what he breaches:
When doctors of philosophy send out
letters scarcely distinguishable from.

many children write badly. Many
people, however, still believe. that pen
manship is worth the most careful at
tefttion.
Formerly seekers for work were
very commonly expected to apply in
their own handwriting, which was
carefully examined as. expressive of
character, mental orderliness, self
control and skill. but nowadays an
applicant is likely to have his letter
typc-written. He perhaps feels that
penmanship is more or. less obsolete,
useful to bookkeepers, but not neces-
sary for success in larger fields.
Yet most of the memoranda of or
binary business Is still matter of
