publican primaries and only 47,445I
in the Democratic primaries. The
Democratic managers have not yet
had the audacity to claim Kansas. but
they have talked about carrying Mich
igan. Illinois, Ohio and Wisconsin,
but in each OF these sttans the voters
have shown ut the primaries what
they will do In November. In Mich
iEan 2S4,64O votes were cast In tho
Republican primaries and only co.
936 In the Democratic. In Illinois
420,969 Republicans voted in the pri-
maries against 23S.50g Democrats
In Ohio 2S2,47S Republicans voted In
the primaries against 1888 Demo
Gratis. In Wisconsin S3,072 Republi
cans voted In the primaries and only
36,60l Democrats.
New York state gave precisely the
same kind OF indications. 29S.S97
Republican votes being cast Mt the
primaries and only l5S.7lS Demo
cratic votes.
"of course the primary vote is new
or as large Us the vote ut the cleo
ton. Election day is always n holt
day aud the polls are open all day
long. Primary day In most states ia
not holiday and the polls are Ns-
ually open considerably less than the
fun day The full vote is therefore
never polled at primary, but there
is one striking feature Of all these
primary votes. the meaning of which
is absolutely unmistukable. This fca-
ture Is the great prepondcrancc of in
terest on tho Republican side. In oy-
cry case without exception 1t wns tho
Republican voters who had the in
terest and took trouble to go to the
pools. No clearer evidence could be
given of the intention of the voters
to manifest their Republican prefer
cnce on November z.
Rainbow Chasing,
I'm none OF the states outside OF
the solid South where primary cleo
tion has been held this year. has the
Democratic vote come within haillng
distance OF the Republican vote.
Down in Maryland. similar in
dication has been given at the regis
tration whore intending voters ex-
press their party affiliations for the
| ensuing year. In this registration
the Democrats have lost more than
1000, and the Republicans have
gained more than 1000, making a
net change OF more than 5000. or
considerably more than enough to
overcome the Democratic majority at
the last election.
THE Democrats have been enter
tanning themselves with amusing
claims about the possibility OF their
carrying Pennsylvania. We are just
in receipt of the figures OF the en-
rollment In Philadelphia which
shows 242, 548 voters enrolled as Re-
publicaus and only $3.50 as Demo-
Gratis.
These figures are incontestable.
They show beyond possibility Of uues-
ton how utterly preposterous has
been the rainbow chasing OF the Dem
ocratlc managers. Why, their claims
that President Wilson is going to
carry half OF the northern states, in
Guiding Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wis
consin and several more are not en-
titled to any consideration. They are
nothing but the vaporing OF lot of
anxious politicians who don't know
where they are at. )"

RING Life Preservers.

''The worst trouble about a life pre-
server" said an old sailor. lis that
few people know what to do with one
when it's thrown to them. Many q
man would drown In trying to get q
life preserver over his head. The nv
erage person struggling about in the
water would try to lift up the big life
ring and put 1t over his head. That
only causes the man to sink deeper
and take more water into his lungs
"The proper way to approach life
preserver In the water is to take hold
Of the side nearest you and press upon
It with all your weight. That causes
the other side to fly up In the air and
down over your head, ringing you as
neatly as man ringing a cane at a
country fair. After that the drowning
man can be rescued"

Renovating Old Orchards.

A county agent In Massachusetts,
began, in 1914, a demonstration in
the renovation of some old apple
orchards. The following year from
a 2-acre orchard heavily infested
with San Jose scale when the demon
stration was begun net profit of
$21O.77 was realized after paying
spray materials, man and horse
labor, per cent interest on the
land, trees, and working capital,
taxes, and all other expenses incl
dent to the proper management Of
tn orchard.
The net cost of developing young
orchards in the same county has
been reduced greatly by growing
cash crops among the trees, as sug-
gested by the county agent. In the
case of an 8-acre young orchard the
crop SO grown in 1915 met all the
costs of the year properly charge
able, besides paying for some per-
manent improvements, and lacked
only $10.88 of paying for the trees,

The Boys Got the Hawks.

Several bright Glendale, Del,
boys reaped harvest while it lasted
from David Timmons, a farmer, who
had been troubled with chicken
hawks in his poultry yards. Tim
mons offered a reward OF 81 for
every chicken hawk brought dead
to him and cheerfully paid over the
dollar to the first boy that brought
one In.
Chicken hawks suddenly seemed
to be very plentiful, when within
few hours eight hawks were
brought in and as many dollars paid
out. Then Timmons suddenly saw
the light, and after throwing the
dead hawk back of the barn, where
he had thrown the previous hawks
watched while a small boy sneaked
up and purloined it.
When the same lad presented the
dead hawk for the reward. Tim
mons started for a switch and the
boy left hurriedly. Timmons found
out afterward that the first boy who
had originally shot the hawk had
been charging each lad so cents for
the use of the same hawk after IL
had been thrown away.

A short time ago / was in Hamp-

altogether unlike the present one.
Governor Mann, one of the educa-
tional Governors of Virginia, after
making an extremely able address,
told the following story: Governor
Mann said he knew a boy who got
a whip one day and went out to kill
bees. AS he went along he saw a
bee on blade Of grass. He killed
that. A little further along he saw
another and another, and he killed
them. He event further until he
came to an old stump ON the edge Of
which he saw a bee. He killed that.
One or two more bees came out and
he killed them. He seemed now to
have started an internal agitation so
that more and more bees came out
At first he succeeded in killing them.
Finally, twenty, thirty, forty and
more came swarming out OF the
stump, he withdrew In haste. When
he was nursing his swollen head he
began to ask why he had had no
difficulty in killing single bees,
while he had SO much trouble at the
stnmp. Finally the eruth dawned
upon him. Them bees at the

The republican party leaders
declare that the presidential cam
paign will be fought out on the
tariff issue, and that the republican
appeal will be made to the business
interests of the country. A tariff
tax is 3 tax ON consumption and
that is why it is SO popular with
the business interests. The con.
suming is done by the great mass
Of the people, and their part in the
program is to furnish the votes
that will 'put into power the men

That Rising Sun-porter's Bridge
Road.

DOe6 ANYBODY know anything
about when work on the Rising
Sum- Porter's Bridge section of State
road is to beginf Money for the
completion of this gap in the State
road system was appropriated at
the last General Assembly, and a
bill also put through authorizing
the completion of the road.
Just why work does not begin is
o mystery to everyone, except the
State Roads Commission, and the
only thing SO far done by the Com
mission is to make surveys, and
then still other surveys.
The one reply of the Commission
to all inquiries has been a wall
concerning the stupendous Difficult.
ties presented by .the Porter's
Bridge hill and other hills on the
route.
This is about the most ridiculous
plea that can be trumped up, in
the face of the difficult pieces of
roadway that already have been
constructed, a case in point being
the Deer Creek road, where in
addition to building along steep
hill sides on both sides of the
creek, it was necessary also to con.
struct an expensive concrete bridge.
Yet there was not half the howl
that has been made about the
difficulties of the Porter's Bridge
road. Then there was the road at
OonowingO, where it was said the
grade was too steep to lay concrete.
Nevertheless concrete roadway
was constructed. In Western Mary.
land stretches Of roadway have
been constructed, we are told, that
presented difficulties to which the
Porter's Bridge road has no com.
parsion.
The belief in this section is the
s'nigger in the woodpile" is politics
and the pull of the ss13O per cent
profit" toll bridge at Perryyille.
It is q well known fact that the
completion of the Porter's Bridge
link of roadway will mean increa.
sed auto travel over the free State
bridge at Conowingo, hence a
diyerting of a goodly portion OF
the traffic now going over the
Perryville. Havre de Grace toll
bridge, and a consequent cutting
down of some of the enormous
profits being enjoyed by the poll.
litically powerful coterie of stock
holders who control this free gift

disgusted at the ridiculous farce
being enacted by the State Roads
Commission over the Rising Sun.

all along held out having been an
entire new relocation,-to which
everyone is opposed, -or no road.
