A Significant Change.

There is TO be an entire new regis
tration of voters in several other
states besides Maryland this year
and in one Pacific coast state, Oregon,
the new registration has been com.
pleted, and in another Pacific coast
state, California, 1t is so near to COM
pletion that the final result Is plainly
indicated. In each of these states
voters when registering have de-
clared their party Affiliations in order
to be eligible for voting at the prl-
marles. The registration shows that
the Republican party is in winning
form in both states, says the Balti-
more American.
The Oregon registration, which
was completed June 2, stands: Re
publicans, 10000; Progrcssives,
1900; Democrats, 41,00O. Those
affiliated as Republicans, it will be
noted, are more than twice as many
as the Progressives and Democrats
taken together. When it is recalled
that the Republican vote split nearly
even between Republicans and Pro-
tgressives in Oregon at the last pres
idential election and that the full
electoral vote was in consequence
delivered to the Democratic presi-
Dental candidate, the swing back to
the Republican party indicated in the
recent registration is tremendously
suggestive.
And the change indicated in the
California registration is almost
equally significant. The registration
books in California do not close until
July /, but there are now over 10O,-
600 more voters registered in the
state than voted at the presidential
election in 1912. The proportions
may therefore be regarded as fairly
representative, and the affiliated vote
is as follows: Republicans, S47,S61;
Progressives, 172,064 Democrats,
1870 Socialist, Prohibitiontst and
other scattering affiliations about 49,
600. If the Democrats and Progress
sives we're to bunch in California,
they might beat the Republicans.
But this they will never do. and the
indicated Republican plurality over
either organization is overwhelming.

For the Ilicn Man Only.

Over In Baltimore, as we'll as in
many another city in the land, a
larger degree of liberality and COM
mon sense is employed in the effort
to administer the ancient Sunday
blue laws with justice to all than is
the case in some less fortunate COM
munities. The Baltimore Star,
which holds that drastic enforcement
OF these laws is a discrimination
against the poor man and in favor of
his more fortunate brother, COM
jments upon such an instance, as fol-
lows:
Interesting in its revelations was
the case of the ice dealer whom JUS
tice Sayler declined to punish yes
terday for dlsposing of his wares on
Sunday. The magistrate gave an ex-
ample Of logical reasoning and COM
mon sense in dismissing the charge
against the iceman, which might we'll
be emulated by his fellow police
court Harouns, If any would deserve
comparison with the great caliph.
Mr.. Sayler's query, III ice cream
may be delivered on Sunday, why not
ice?" is one of the most pertinent
yet asked of the blue law sabbatari-
ans. The people to whom ice cream
is delivered on Sundays are people
of more or less stable means, people
who can afford the Injuries Of life,
in which category Mr.. Sayler rightly
placed the frozen CONNECTION. The
household that requires ice deliveries
on Sunday is the household of the
working man, the man whose means
are slight. the man who cannot pro
vide suitable receptacle for the
keeping of ice over Sunday.
1t is the same difference that ex-
lists between the golfer who can
journey in his own car to his country
club for aaSunday round of the links,
and the young man or boy who. six
days in the week, labors from early
morning until late at night, and on
Sunday often cannot afford the car
fare that would take him out into
the country where Sunday ball may

A Comparison.


at the risk of being called a calam-
ity bowler by the writhing Demo-
cratic press, the Uniontown, Pa, Her
aid presents the following plain state
ment of business conditions as they
were under the last Democratic ad-
ministration and as they now are
after fifteen months OF Democratic
rule and little over six months of
Democratic policy:
When the election was held in
1912 all business was booming. Every
body was prosperous. The industrial
condition Of the country was so salts
factory that people had time to SQUAD
Bile about immaterial things. A rumpus
in the Republican party divided it and
the Democrats elected a president and
majority in both branches OF Con
gress.
Then there was SO much freight
that the railroads could not handle it.
Freight congestion was familiar oc-
currence. Now there are 100000 idle
freight cars in the country with no
indications that they will ever be
tilled with anything save the crops
over which the Democrats have no
control and cannot possibly restrict or
harrass with foolish legislative handi-
caps.
Then the orders for steel to be
manufactured in the future amounted
to 100000 tons Now these orders
have fallen to half that amount.
Then all the coke ovens were in
blast and good prices were being re-
ceived for the product. Now only
about half OF them are in operation
and prices prevailing are discour-
agement to every one engaged in the
business.
But the crops this year promise to
be the largest in volume and the
greatest in value ever raised by any
country in the world. With Congress
out of the way and an end made to
the disturbing and depressing pro-
gram Of legislation good business
would inevitably result in spite of the
handicaps imposed by the present
tariff law.
Some way should be found to stop
Congress and the administration in
their war on business. They are the
greatest combination in restraint of
trade which the nation has ever wit
messed
80 far the only means available are
the elections OF this fall If remedy
is not applied before it will be
the delight Of the voters to apply it
then in unmistakable measure"

county are in fair way Of joining
forces in opposition to the common
enemy. This. was indicated by the
results OF the meeting of the Repub-
lican County Executive Committee
on Saturday last at Huntington. It
was an open meeting and the ques-
tton OF offensive and defensive union
with the Progressiyes was discussed
at length. The Progressives have al
ready nominated county ticket, but
committee has been appointed to
confer with like committee Of the
Progressive party with view to
coming to some agreement on sim
gle ticket. 1t is proposed that the
conference committee shall treat
with the representatives Of the Pro-
gressiyes upon a liberal basis of
give and take" and thus construct
a ticket which will command the solid
support Of all members Of both
parties.-Wheeling Intelligencer.

PreyentabIe Illness.

1t is said there are 10000 cases
of serious illness existing in this
country all the time, and it is be-
lteyed these can be greatly reduced
by cooperative effort. says the Ohio
State Journal. Statistics show that
human life has been considerably
heightened in the last few years,
through improved methods of sant-
tatfon and the organized fight made
on tuberculosis and the contagious
and communicable diseases.
Somehow or other. all the old
terrors of the past, typhoid, small
pox, scarlet fever, diptheria and
other maladies, are not near so prev
alent or fatal as they used to be.
This all comes from the wise efforts
made to prevent them. The causes
of diseases are better known and the
way of removing the causes more
intelligently applied. The only fatal
distenper that has increased In a
few years, IL it may Ibe called a dis
temper. is old age.
There is concerted movement
afoot to still further lengthen hui
man life. The association of life
insurance presidents is leading in
this movement. There is no set of
men better posted as to health con
ditions in this county than. 1t may
seem they are pecuniarily interested.
1t is unkind to say so. but if the
movement favors their business, no
Intelligent man can complain of that.

From where she sat she could hear
soft music, music that he also had
listened to there beside her-how long
ago? Already it seemed an eternity.
"oh, il he should never come back!"
she breathed again, and shuddered
with the ghastly thought OF the long,
empty wait.
She wished now that she had never

The Exponent and righteousness.

me Exponent and Righteousness
AS the Exponent has praised the
Progressives as enlisted in a righteous
cause and encouraged them to nom
mate a county ticket because OF that
as 1t more than intfmates. there is
no good reason why 1t should not
urge the Democrats OF the county to
Join with the SrogressiYes and en-
aorse the Progressive county ticket
II may be. that 1t regards the Demo-
Gratis OF the county too righteous to
DO that. Be that as it may, there is
no logical reason why the Progress
siye ticket should not solicit sup
port. However, 1t will get none from
the Democrats. The Exponent would
hate to see any OF them vote for the
Progressive candidates and It has no
notion Of advising any of them to
The Exponent doubtless believes
that 1t would be contamination Of
the Progressive ticket, If either
Democrats or Republicans were to
vote for 1t. So far as the Demo-
Gratis are concerned, the Telegram Is
willing to concede the Exponent's
idea that there is more or less I'M
Righteousness in the Democratic
party of the county.
1t boots 1t nothing. however, what
the Exponent thinks. 1t begins to
see the possibility, even probability,
of something happening before an
other moon, which will put 1t in bad
SO far as It's attitude toward the Pro-
gressives heretofore and at present
is concerned. 1t may be the Tele-
grams privilege to throw the Ex-
ponent's own utterances back into
It's teeth and then there will be some
real squirming in the editorial sane
tum of the Exponent. The Telegram
will not hesitate to do so with great
glee.

Automobiles

The trade estimates that
the sales of automobiles for
1914 will aggregate a total
of S6O0,OO0,000.
1t is interesting to note
that this immense volume
of business has been largely
built up through persistent
advertising linked with con-
sistent salesmanship.
And more enightenipg
still is the fact that mach
the larger percentage of au-

President Wilson-when he shoots

So it has been painfully observed.
He has been shooting at business

The country is getting tired of this
sort OF game. What it wants and
what it needs is builder and not a
