Change in Election

Senator Leslie Boynton of Lincoln
was the only one who spoke in favor of
the resolve proposing an amendment to
the constitution to change the time of
holding the State election from the Sec
ond Of September to the first Tuesday
OF November.
Senator Boynton said that this resolve
had been presented by those believing
that the idea of having two elections so
near together Was absolutely unneces-
sary and uncalled for. The farmers are
always busy in the month of September
with their harvesting while in November
all that work is done. Maine is now the
only state in the union which holds its
state election in September.
Senator Boynton further said that he
did not believe in womans suffrage but
at this session he intended to vote to
allow the people to pass upon the ques-
ton, and he thought that there was a
demand fom the people for vote on
the matter of changing the date of cleo
ton.
No one appeared in opposition to the
resolve.

Wilson will cast his ballot in New
Jersey for the Equal Suffrage amend
ment. But there is plenty of time
for him to change his mind. In the
campaign of 1912 he announced him
self in favor of free tolls for coast
wise traffic through the canal but
I'm 1918 he secured repeal of the free
tolls provision. In 1912 he advocated
economy but in 1913 and 1914 he APP
proved the most eXtravagant legis a.
ton in American history. In 1912
he pledged himself to preserve the
sacred rights of American citizens at
home and abroad, but in August,
1913 he urged Americans to leave
Mexico Immediately, Notwithstanding
they were there by rights protected
by treaties as sacred as 1t Is posi-.
Bile for nations to make. In 1912
Mr.. Wilson loudly proclaimed his
support Of the spirit of the civil SER
vice law but in 1913 he disregarded
that law in the face of protests from
organized friends Of the merit sys-
tenn in government service. In 1917
he ran on a platform with one

1t all, however.
They lowered duties in many indus
tries TO point where competition
with Europe would be impossible.
These industries have been saved to-
day by the war, which has upset ev-
cry European factory. But when the
war is over, either tariff rates must
be advanced, or Europe will get the
business.
One of the most ludicrous things
about Democratic history, is the
promise and performance of the par
ty in the matter of appropriations.
Every Democratic platform for fifty
years has denounced the Republic
cans for extravaganza. Yet as soon
as the Democrats gain power, they
turn around and spend $lOO.OOO,OOO

OUR SHIPPING INDUSTRY

The theoretical dreaminess Of the
administration was more than ever
apparent in the recent act for the
regulation of shipping.
The slow process of real reform is
irritating to people who like to see
things move. Processes of better
ment have to be natural growth,
and this is irritating to hasty people
looking for immediate results. There
is always one quick way to reform
evils. That is to kill off the thing
that needs improvement. The dead
commit no wrongs.
This seemed to be the philosophy
of Congress in passing the shipping
bill. The American merchant ma.
rine has been having time to pre-
serve mere existence. The stars
and stripes have largely been driven
off the sea. Instead of offering some
positive assistance to a langulshing
and decadent industry, the new ship
bill imposed lot of new and dras-
tic regulations. Hence the rapid
rush to get under the japanese, Chi
nese, or any other flag. The admin
istration has had its way, and 1t
seems to be in fair way to reform
American shipping by killing it off.
The dealing with the tariff was
equally impractical The American
people were prepared for a moderate
reduction Of duties. But thev did
not believe that a lot Of politicians,
who never saw the inside of fac.
tory, could be all wise enough to tell
just now little tariff an industry
could live ca without starvation.
The politicians felt that they knew

Crippled Peddler
Killed by Woman
Body Cut to Pieces and Stuffed Into
Box Couch; Self Defense
Is Pleaded

San Francisco, Oct. 20.-Mrs. NJ.
Pamais, wife of street car conduc-
tor, surrendered to the police today
and was held in connection with the
murder of Michael Weinstein, Grip
pied peddler whose mutilated body
was found in box couch in Mrs. Pa
MAS bedroom. The arms, legs and
head were severed and the trunk cut
into several pieces. Each piece was
wrapped in newspapers. Weinsteins
wooden leg and crutch were placed
on top. Fragments of torn letters
were found under the couch. Char
red papers were in a stove
Mrs. Pamais told the police she
killed Weinstein with an ak last
night when he attacked her after she
refused to elope with him.
When she had stuffed Weinstein's
hacked body into the couch, Mrs.
Pamias fed from the apartment and
rented another two blocks away, ac-
cording to her story to the police.
he returned home from work, and
he returned home fro mwork, and
the two spent the night at the new
ly rented apartment, she arguing in
favor of fight, he for surrender to
the police.
John Pamias won the argument Z.
He accompanied his wife to the po-
lice station today and the two of
them told the story.
Neither neighbors nor the mana
ger of the apartment house suspect
ed the murder. The police searched
for some time before they found
spots of blood that led them, eventu
ally. to the couch where Weinstein's
body was found.
The peddler who had one wooden
leg, showed Mrs. Pamais 1920 whicf
he had saved, she said, when he
asked her to go away with him.
Mrs. Pamais said she lived witt
the Wninstein family in Atlantic City
New Jersey four years ago. Vein
stein, she said, arrived here Sunday
and gave her packet of papers
which the police have not found.

producing a greater air of calm in
political circles than would other
wise have attended the resignation

The Daily Mail affirms that 1t had
nothing to do with the question of

was because of the cabinets needless
delays in arriving at a decision in
