A BUSINESS CENSORSHIP

When a military censorship over written and printed matter is estab- lished a fearful cry goes up about interference with free speech and hu- man rights. When a railroad estab- fishes a censorship over business and calls it an "embargo'' there is su11en silence or a feeble and spasn1 odic pro- test Of the two forms of outrage the embargo is by far the most ir- ritating and serious. In reality it is public confession of failure, of in competence to do it's work, on the part of the railroad. That being the case some higher power should take things in hand. It is not at all nec- essary that the public should con tfrualIy suffer from inefhciency of transportation agencies. The most savage critics of government or mu- nicipaI ownership of an industry or activity never charged or dreamed of such complete failure for enterprises so conducted as has characterized railroad management for months. The service has suffered such an utter col lapse that it has become spectacular La it's lpIessness.-BristoT Press

RYNDAM DELAYED
 ON OCEAN VOYAGE

New York, May 4.-Through fear of mines inethe English Channel, the Ho1land-American liner Ryndan. which arrived here Wednesday from Rotterdam, made detour of 1,4O0 miles, steanning around the north end of Scotland to reach Falmouth, her port of call.
 The voyage whcih usually takes about nine days, lasted twenty-three days, including the time the ship was held up by the British authorities. Ow- ing to many accidents to the Holland American line boats through the ex- plosion of mines in the Channel it was at first said that the steamships would be withdrawn entirely from the ser vice. Later it was decided it would be safe for the ships if they took the northern roundabout route. On the stbound t'1p all the ships of the lin will follow this course, it was said to- day
 This is the Ryndam's first appear ance in this port since she hit a mine in the North Sea early in the year. The Ryndam left Rotterdam on April IA. just nineteen days ago. She arrived at Kirkwa1l, off the northern coast of Scotland. on April Is. She was held there for four days while an in by the British boarding officers. Gus tave Krensz, a German, was taken off, although he claimed he had taken out his first naturalization papers in this country. His wife and two daugh- ters, Irma> and Pauline. who claimed American citizenship, were permitted to continue the voyage.
 At Falmouth, the Ryndam's next port, two women in the second cabin were arrested and taken off the ship They gave their names as Gertrude E:velin and, Anna Marie Evelin. and their home as San Francisco. Thay in- sisted that they were Americans or their way home, but the authorities were deaf to thcie pleas
 I At this port the British took of l 96S sacks of mail consigned to the United States. The vessel sailed from there on April 23- Among the pas sengers from 1i iotterda1n were George Bauer of E. Altman & Co.

PLANTING BY DYNAMITE

New York, May 4-W A Miles, Of Twin Lakes Conn, is setting out an extensive apple orchard, on the land a. short distance north of the Smith Hill road. To the 300 trees he set out last year he is adding 400 others this spring. the whole occupying about twelve acres of ground. MT. Miles. who is an enthusiastic and ex- pert orchardist, employs up-to-date methods in the cultivation of his fruit, the treatment of his trees, and even in the setting out process. The holes are dug by dynamite, at a great saw ing of time and labor. A erowbar is rammed down into the ground to the requisite depth, and a dynamite car fridge inserted, from which a wire is connected with the electric detonator at safe distance; and the pressing of a button explodes the charge, which throws up a quantity of earth and 1oosens the ground for a suffi- cient area, making the setting of a tree a quick and easy task

What is the correct pronunciation of bomb?
 Authorities are not quite agreed Webster, the Oxford dictionary and the Century dictionary give bonn or bum; Worcester gives bum only; the older English photographers, as Walk CT and Smart, give bum, and that pro nunciation prevails in England.

But talking about passing a law to
require automobiles to stop for one
minute at every railroad crossing, re-
minds me that we have in Newberry
slow down ordinances, and stop Or
dinances, and so on. Or l judge We
have by the signs 1 see at some of the
corners-you know, the editor says the
town is saving money by not print-
ing some of the ordinances, at least
any way these big black signs are
posted at several of the street cross
ings. and wonder if they are en-
forced. And, you know, We have sew

eral policemen in the town to look
after the enforcement of the ordi-
nances of the town am not conn
planning about this ordinance, or any
other. I always stop, look, listen,
when l come to street crossing, and
then l am not on the street a great
deal, but the point is, if such little
ordinances are not observed in he
town, how in the world are you going
10 have them observed in the country?
! have heard that there is some sort
Of speed law on the statute books now,
but f there is, there is no particle of
attention given to it. The nan or
driver that would go on to a railroad
track when a train was near enough
to strike his car, will pay very little
attention to law that requires him to
stop for whole minute. Suppose we
all agree to leave little something
for the good judgment and common
sense of the individual citizen 1t
would probably be a rank presumption
to suppose that ne had even a little
bit of common sense, but when he finds
that the state is not going to play
wet nurse for him any longer he may
be able to take care of himself.
But l reckon l am all out of joint
with the times, and don't know what
I am talking about. So let's forget all
about this, and every one buy ticket
and go to ''Fee-Fee''-I believe l saw
that was what you are to call it. Amy
way, 1 mean the play that the Calvin
Crozier chapter is going to give some
time soon. If they are going to give
it you may bet your bottom dollar
that it's all right.
Then let's all of us help Mayor
Wright to save some money for the
town, and go to work when we save
it and spend it on the improvement
of the streets and the roadways and
in the general appearance of things
about town. 1t won't be long before
there should be something doing about
The Idler's park. I suppose the COM
mittee still has the land, and that
when the spring time comes again we
will want to make some improvements
down there, and fix it up little to
make pleasant and comfortable place
for those of us who are not able to
go to the mountains waen the good old
summer time comes along.
