PLENTY OF CHRISTMAS TURKEYS.

Fearing a quarantine on dressed poultry on ao-
count of the cattle disease, or under the mistaken
impression that already existed many dealers re-
fused to buy turkeys for the Thanksgiving trade,
Even some railroad and express companies refused
dressed fowl for shipment. The result was higher
prices. The Federal department of agriculture does
not want this misunderstanding to occur again, and
announces that there ban dressed poultry so
that turkeys likely to be much more plentiful for
Christmas than they were for Thanksgiving
Turkey is important feature OF the yuletide
as of the Thanksgiving table, so that the assurance
given by the government is national blessing. And
II any dealer attempts to put few cents more a
pound on the bird "on account Of the quarantine
customers who read the papers will tell him that

ooNsrrrrr1oN.MAkING BY PARTY.

Next years convention which will give the State OF
New York a organic law will be a partisan affair
and the new constitution will be partisan instru-
ment. The ffty-two Democrats who were elected
delegates will sit and listen while the one hundred
and sixteen Republicans make constitution for the
whole people AS for the thousands OF Progressives
socialists and Prohibitionsts, they will have nobody
to represent them in the convention even
ooker-on Such is the result Of the party system of
choosing delegates, which should have no place in
constitution of all functions in the world.
If New Jersey ever gets to the point of calling
constitutional convention by decree OF the Legsa-
ure so that the present archaic bill of rights be
replaced by of modern spirit, let US hope that
party designations will be rigidy excluded from the
ballots by which the delegates elected, and that
they will be chosen solely their merits as citizens
of intelligence and probity But so long as the toryism
of the small counties dominates the State Senate there
is no hope of constitutional convention, partisan

Criticisms of the average inteln-
gence Of the average college student
coming from such men as President
Butler, Of Columbia University, sug-
gest that there Is something wrong
with the fundamental education Of
young people In spite OF the strenuous
attention that Is frequently given
10 their mental training. President
Butler seems TO find that students to-
day are lacking In a knowledge OF
the Bible and Of classical history
and literature.
This Is doubtless due In a large
part to the less concise standards
which are being held before students
and teachers. We are perhaps so
deeply concerned with the matter OF
practical training or Of pleasant and
Interesting studies that we overlook
the fact that a few things ought to
be insisted upon as fundamental 1t
is desirable that just from the stand
point OF mutual lntelllgibility some
things should be common knowledge

Ii may be that the young people
would not gain wonderfully In reli-
gious conyictionH. though this is not
probably true by closer acqualnt-
ance with the Bible. But this phase

We discard all standards and lose
Bight OF the necessity for funda-
mental knowledge. Deft acquaint-
anee with modern achievements and

failure to grasp the essentials OF his

From the Philadelphia Evening Ledger
It is reported that there will be
no change in the Communication rates
OF railroads operating out OF New
York to the South. This may be due
to the refusal of the Erie to join In
the contemplated arrangement, that
road and others apparently being
content with an increase In mileage
rates and through tickets.
Communication travel is subject to
special conditions. II is a service IN
which the railroads must compete
actively with the trolley lines,
whereas on the through routes there
is, of course, no such competition,
The immensity Of the traffic Offering
disrupts ordinary rules for comput-
ing individual cost OF transportation,
Just as q subway may transport a
person miles for a nickel because
there are so many persons to be car

urban traffic and Is entitled to the
low cost Of transportation common
to urban railway systems. To ex-
pect to handle commuters on the
same basis as other travellers Is to
erect barrier against industrial and
other progress and revert to stage
coach methods of administration.

lives at 202 Berriman street, East New

five years ago, but separated two
years ago, as the result of his i'll

children.

LINCOLN, Neb.. Dec. A wild
duck turned to soap was the unusual
find made by Professor r. II. VOL
colt, head OF the zoology department
of the University of Nebraska, on a
recent trip for geological specimens
in Cherry county In the northwestern
part of the State.
The professor brought the duck to
the university, and analysis by Pro-
fessor c. J. Franlforter, Of the chem
istry department, showed that the
meat Of the bird had turned into two
thirds soap.
so far as I know" said Professor
Wolcott, this Is the only case of this
kind on record. However, 1 am in
vestigating to see If l can learn OF
any other such instances"
The duck was found on the edge Of
a lake. where 1t had probably fallen
after being shot by some hunter. One
theory advanced Is that the fat It's
sues in the bird combined with the
alkall in the mud and water. the
chemical action being induced by the
heat OF the sun.
Professor Wolcott believes that the
bird was killed or died during the
hot days of summer and that the COM
bination of circumstances resulted in
the turning Of the meat into soap.
