One OF the most effective little preach
ments on citizenship we have seen in
many a day is the following from the
Fitchburg Sentinel, staunch and re-
liable Republican paper: There is a
certain current criticism of the nation
al administration, on the part of some
Of the leading dailies, which neglects
no opportunity to stick in the knife up
to the hilt. But it is not necessary for
la Republican paper to show its party
standing by such tactics. We owe 10y
atty to our country in peace as truly
as in war. Criticism ought to be for
the benefit of the country, not primar
lily for the benefit of the party. Crit
icism with the object of improving the
| administration is helpful, but criticism
which is petty, nagging and seemingly
narrow minded and malicious only
makes the critic contemplate and ought
to be ended. Generosity pays in the
long run and country comes before

The Primary in Oregon.
Springfield Union.)

In Oregon, one of the first states to
adopt the direct primary, there is
movement on foot to do away with
it entirely. Under the primary sys-
tenn there is, in effect, two sets of
elections for each campaign. Now it
is proposed to settle the whole thing
in one election by placing the names
of all the candidates that present
themselves on the ballot and letting
the voters choose from the entire field.
In this way, it is figured, the state
win save 100000 Il year. The money
saving is not, however, the most ln.-
portant consideration involved. If it
Is accomplished at the expense of
loading up the ballot with absurd
candidates. and bringing about the Sc.
lection of state officials by minority
votes it vii not be money wen saved
Oregon may give the new plan n trial
but that it will be better satisfied with
it than the old way is much to be
doubted.

In the ten years from 1903 to 1913
the expenses of the federal govern
ment increased 50 per cent. This is
the government 5 own figures. State
expenses show about the same growth.
1t is a phenomenon of the times. Take
up the annual reports of any corpora
ton, especially the railroads, and you
will see this tendency in the increased
taxes they show. Taxes increase fast
err than other costs. Governments are
doing more for the individual and he
is doing less. Everybody wants to ride

sition that he gets a free ride.

No serious accidents were reported
in the deer hunting season in Vermont,
which ended recently, but in many of
the states there were big casualty lists,
In Maine u lives were lost, and 81
persons sustained serious gunshot
wounds. Four were killed by the ac-
cidental discharge of their own wea
pons, four were killed, being shot in
mistake for deer, one was accidentally
shot by a hunter, one was killed by q
companion, one died from exposure, and
one was accidentally killed by a gun

Governor and Judges.
burlington News. J

Governor Fletcher is quoted in the
state press as saying that his action
in appointing judges for two years is
in line with advice received from the
supreme court itself to the effect that
that was the only appointment he
could make.
There must be a mistake somewhere.
We are informed on what seems to us
good authority that the supreme
court was not asked for a judicial
opinion on the question at issue.
We are further informed that Chief
Justice Rowell while still member of
the court was consulted by Governor
Fletcher at a casual meeting in an en-
tirely informal way and expressed
some views, non-judicially.
If the supreme court did give the
governor a judicial opinion, the pub
| lie are entitled to it. Where is it?

tons is for doubling the rate for news

The plant-prophet announces its fore
