II sounds more like Woodbridge n.

body, and more like Woodbridge n. Fer
ris, the great and courageous friend of
the people Of Michigan and the great
i1spirstion for Democracy who stood up
before his party in Bay City four years
30 and denounced the selfish leaders
Who Ind betrayed it.
Two years ago The Times printed a
sories Of cartoons to which many
niends Of Woodbridge N. Ferris took
oxception.
They were pronounced pretty severe.

M" Ferris on the one side and Gov

We showed simply what the governor
I NV himself admits, that woodbridge
Ferris had to compromise with
Ex-Governor" Ferris.
The cartoons were truthful.
Woodbridge N. Ferris says they were.
\ We know that he hated compromise.
We know his disposition and his char
acter and we know how distasteful it
has been for him to do lot Of things
lie had to do, to COMPROMISE.
We know that he means what he said
Ia Lansing, and what he said was big
and brave and amounts to great SER
vice to both his party and the people.
He has given the latter glimpse at
Tie inside of the oficeseeking, offcehold-
ing and compromising game.
He agrees exactly with what we re-
minded him of once in this column,
which was that the greatest evil the
country or the state or the city can ever
face is the compromise of PRINCIPLE
4or PARTY HARMONY.
That was our observation at the time
the governor permitted himself to be
dragged to Washington in the belief
that he was wanted down there to bring
about party harmony, when it was jobs
Tor the boys that the bosses wanted.

Casting Second Choice Votes

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The last legislature of Alabama en- acted a primary election law which pro- vides that all primary elections held in the state shall be held and conducted in accordance herewith. Since the en- actment of this law, no court, of compe- tent Jurisdiction, so far as I am informed, has passed upon or considered the law. However, several candidates for office, and others, have handed down opinions construing the law, which opinions have been spread broadcast to the people. See ing some of these, I decided to read the law over carefully in order to determine in my own mind whether these opinions were correct. Having done so, I have reached a different conclusion from that arrived at in these various opinions, on at least one point, and on that point which appears to be a vital one, am compelled to render d dissenting opin- ion,'' which I think is strong enough. in logic, to overrule all former opinions rendered in the matter.
 The point in question, as stated in one of the opinions heretofore handed down, is that "a voter may vote for second choice if he so desires, but if he fails to do so, the validity of his bal lot is not affected" As a reason for this opinion, it is stated that, ito hold otherwise, would mean, that even though a man received majority. yet, if the majority (who voted for him) did not vote for second choice, the choice or the people would be rejected, because a majority of the votes would be declared illegal for failure to designate a second choice" It is plainly written in the statute: Instructions: To vote for any candidate, make cross tx) in the square in the appropriate column, according to your choice. Vote your first choice in the column to the left of the names of the candidates; vote your second choice in the column to the right of names of candidates. If there is no column at
 right of name, vote your first choice only Do not vote more than one choice for the same candidate"
 It is further provided in the statute, in substance. that in cases where there is to be nominated only one candidate for particular office, if such candidate shall receive majority of the first choice

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Punishment for Sneakers

To the Editor of The Herald:
 Some weeks ago when Recorder An derton was making an effort to break the streets of Birmingham by assess ing moderate fines against those who were convicted on that charge, there was a good deal said about his "dras- tic" actions and special mention was repeatedly made regarding the ''promi- hence" of the gentlemen against whom some of the fines were assessed. Now, I have no objection to prominence" In fact. would like to be prominent" make is: That great many fellows who drive cars imagine themselves very prominent and some of them become Speed maniacs" under the de- fusion that speeding begets more prominence"
 This is no joke, but is a serious fact. And if we could by some method teach all who are inclined to fly in an automobile rather than simply roll along like sensible erson that speeding does not beget honor and glory. but rather dishonor and dis grace, then we WOulut not nave SO many of the sad occurrences like that of Thursday evening when those speed ing brutes ran over and murderously mangled little Silvia Simon on Eighth avenue and Fifteenth street. Why did they not stop and render all the aid they could after the accident hap pened? Because they had committed murder by speeding" It was, per- haps, purely an accident, unavoidable at the moment. but inexcusable from every sensible viewpoint
 If no accident had happened and no life had been crushed out the only of fense would have been speeding" for which only a moderate fine and pun ishment could be assessed. In this state arson of any dwelling house or other structure in which there is any human being at the time is punishable by death. And the person setting fire to the house cannot put up the plea that he did not know there was any one in the house at the time, nor that the person in the building was un- harmed. And I think the time is now ripe when the "speeder" should be se- verely punished even before he does murder some innocent human being.

Nermont's heavy crop comes at a
very opportune time as the field agent
indicates. The crop in the Middle and
Western States, he says, is light, and
the crop Of the country as a whole is
considerably below that of 1915. The
respective figures for the two years
are; 1915, 76,670000 barrels; 1916,
67679000 barrels. The chief factor
against the decrease of the supply and
probable increase of demand is that
the export trade will be practically cut
off because OF the lack of bottoms TO
carry the fruit
In Vermont, however, as the report
OF Field Agent Sanders along with
that OF A. w. Sweeton. county agent
OF Windham, says there is good
deal of prosperity and the New Eng
land market generally Will also be ex.

BIG APPLE CROP IN STATE
Vermont's Yield Far Above That of
Any Other Nearby State This Year.

Burlington, Sept. 2e.-The yield of
apples in Vermont for 1916 will
amount to greater percentage of a
full crop than that of any other New
England state or New York. The crop
will also probably represent bigger
increase over last years crop than any
OF the other states. The estimates
now put forth are on the authority Of
". A. Sanders, field agent of the Unit
ed States bureau of crop estimates,
and are the latest obtainable. The fig
ures have come into possession Of
the agricultural extension department
at the state university through A. w.
Sweeton, county agricultural agent Of
Windham county, who sent them in
along with his own report on county
conditions to Jay Coryell, assistant
county agent leader
full crop, says Mr.. Coryell, means
more than an average crop. 1t
doesn't mean a bumper crop exactly,
that is a crop greater than ever be-
fore or in any one OF many years. Old
time apple growers can judge quite
precisely what it does mean by look
ing at the percentage, which is 50 this
year as against around % last The
yield has been Xariously estimated at
from 10 to Is per cent more than nor
