Victory for Short Ballot

IN vital sense. the movement for better
State and municipal government in this
country is the movement for the short ballot.
This contemplates the concentration Of the
minds OF the electorate on candidates for a
few Offices. thus increasing the hope OF intel
ligent choice, and the concentration in the
officers SO chosen Of executive and admins
trative authority, thus enabling the people to
fix responsibility for breaches of trust
The victory the short ballot has won in the
New York constitutional convention acquires.
in this view Of the case, significance nation
wide. New York electors hereafter will
choose but four State officers-Governor,
Lieutenant Governor. comptroller and attor
ney-general All other heads of departments
will be appointed by the Governor. and his
appointments. with few exceptions, are not
to be subject to the confirmation of the Sen
ate. The States financial machinery is to be
reconstructed. The budget will be framed
by the Governor and his Cabinet; the Legisla-
ture may reduce, but may not increase, appro-
priatons.
1t is noteworthy that the short-ballot
reform in New York achieved over the
strenuous protest of both the Democratic and
Republican organizations. Tammany stood
with William Barnes in the ranks Of oppos-
ton. The Republican leader proposed a
compromise plan" which retained all of the
present elective Offices and added two to the
list. Tammany content to add one.
From that stronghold Of pure politics and
good government Pennsylvania, Boes Pen
rose lifted up his voice to attack the whole
undertaking. Said the Honorable Boies:
The so-called short ballot is only
another name for concentrating
power in the hands of indi-
vdual. Experience demonstrates that

friends---as some think-its enemies afford
an even more striking testimony to its char

in Richmond when the fight for a new char
ter shall be waged before the people.
For, after all, the fight for better municipal
government is form Of the fight for the
short ballot. The people want 10 see author
ity placed and defined so that when things
go wrong there can be question Of respon-
sibility. The politicians want to see author
ity diffused and uncertain, so that for waste
extravaganza, ineffciency. or worse, nobody
particularly can be called to account That
is about all there is really, in charter reform.
The rest depends on the sort Of choice the
people make.

WEEKLY LETTER OF
 JOHN H. PAGE

There has been much interest
 aroused in Sudan Grass and a
 great many farmers in all parts
 of the State are preparing to eX-
 pertinent with this new grass.
 There is but one objection to the
 Sudan Grass, so far as know
 and that is the striking similarity
 of the grass to Johnson Grass
 and the close resemblance of the
 seeds to the Johnson Grass saed.
 If you buy the Sudan Grass with
 out some sort of a guarantee as
 to itslpuritylyou may run the risk
 of gettingssome . Johnson Grass
 on your farm and in many cases
 it would indeed prove a pest.
 Sudan is a splendid yielder.
 very hardy grass, sand is as good
 hay as timothy or Johnson grass
 hay and is relished by stock. If an experiment IS to be tried, l
 would advise only a small acreage and then save the seed carefully if you find that they are pure and free from Johnson Grass. A small patch of Johnson Grass
 would be more easily killed out and for that reason there IS possibility that small patch or acrerge would be more desirable
 A number of our farmers in varioussparts of the State have become intensely interested in the culture of new perishable crops andlarelplanning to put in large crops like onions and caD- bage. They:are good crops but 1t is not best to. undertake too much and depend too much on such crops the first year. l would advise a variety ofll such crops and smaller acreages ot each and not be forced to depend on any single crop for revenue. The second year will berentirely diff ferent and you willgknow to a certainty almost how much you can cultivate and about how much you will realize from that crop nnder average conditions. When you become familiar with the markets and the manner of disposing of these crops which are new to you so far as the growing them in a commercial way is concerned.
 Make your plans to grow in- creased garden crops and now Is the time to secure the seed. Gar den seed are comparatively cheap and every man should have enough seed in his garden to in sure plenty for table use and then quantities to can at home ! for use next winter or for sale if there is more than enough for home consumption. The Girls Canning Clubs have taught us a lesson along this line and we should be proud to profit by their good example One young lady n tied $120.00 on one tenth of a acre last year and there Is no reason why the older folks can not make at least one-half that with { h ordinary attention.
The Nevada County picayune., 1915-02-26

Enough can be raised. canned, put up and sold out of the aver age home garden to run the av- craze Arkansas family table the entire year and with so little trouble that h e time would scarcely be lost from the farm work.
 Every day there are a number of farmers making request of me 1 for the names of Arkansas far who have seed of various kinds for sale. 1 would be glad to have the name of every farmer in the State who has some kind of seed for sale and will take pleasure in giving your name and address to farmers who want to buy. If you have any good seed corn or any other kind of seed, 1 would appreciate it if you would give me your price, name and address, variety and the quantity you have on hand that you can afford to sell to others. Write me.

FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY

The automobile is proving to be no small factor in promoting the cause of total abstinence and prohibition. The increasing use of motor cars. private and pub- lie, emphasizes the importance of the problem presented by the man under the influence of alco- hol. said Sir Victor Horsley, M. D.. in a recent lecture before the Medical Temperance Society of England. "A taXi-driver de- Scribed as under the influence of drink is a far greater danger to the public than one w ho is drunk. The man who is drunk to certain extent paralyzed and helpless, whereas the man who has had merely sufficient to im- pair his facilities is an active danger. Total abstinence for the chauffeur is not only advis- able, but the time is coming when 1t will be compulsory.
