=OUR POLITICAL ARENA

am satisfied that with proper and
intelligent direction, all the surplus
food products of Australia, Argentine
and every place on earth can be cared
for without paralyzing the industries
of this country, If this thing is given
proper thought and consideration be-
fore it is too late. What we need at
this time is policy that will hold up
all lines of industry until they can
properly adjust themselves to peace
conditions.
No man, in my mind is in greater
danger of financial ruin than the
farmer and stockgrower, unless we
have an intelligent distribution Of
the accumulated agricultural pro-
ducts and live stock Of the world.
The farmer gives whole years work
to the production of his crops, and
even little longer in many cases in
the production Of live stock. II he
is forced to produce for one year at
the present cost Of production and is
then compelled to sell his products
on low market, financial ruin is
sure to follow.
This is the most vital question con-
fronting the American people today.
We know that we are going to win
this war and bring back peace to the
world. and with it should be a con-
tinuation of the prosperity of the
country and direction of it's affairs
along intelligent lines. 1t is the big
gest question that has ever con-
fronted us and is only surpassed in
the thoughts of the people at the pre-
sent time by the winning of the war.

NOT WORTH WORRYING
ABOUT BUT

Down in the Pingree road district,
some three miles northeast of the
town and on the north side Of the
Beebe farm is a little bridge over a
ditch. There is large hole in the
bridge, the result of one plank being
broken out for yard or SO. 1t has
been so for long time, the local peo-
pie sa y the road overseer knows
about it and has talked about fixing
it. Farmers know about it and have
talked about fixing it, and have also
talked about complaining to the
county attorney about a road over
seer who neglects his duty, but they
have neither mended the bridge nor
talked to the attorney. A good
many travellers have talked about the
hole in the bridge and how they
luckily escaped injury in crossing.
If somebody should have an acct
dent at this place and there should
be some injury or damage suit
against someone, there would be
some question to determine whether
the loss should be paid by the county
or by the overseer to be taken out of
his official bond. If such question
were pending settlement, probably
several men would be racing around
regardless of expense, to get informa-
ton, but under present circum-
stances, the bridge could be mended
for the price of gasoline to take a
car to town and back. Some farmer
living near by could fix it cheaper
than that, but he isn't in humor to
do it, or he may not have a suitable
plank or part of plank. If the
matter got into litigation and he had
to pay the price of the repairs as
his share of the tax to cover the cost
of litigation, and every other tax
payer in the county had to pay his
share, he would think nothing of it,
tho he might wonder why taxes are
so high.
1t is just such things running into
unnecessary expense in multitude
of ways that make the taxes high and
the service of our county and dis
trict officers so ordinary. The road
overseer means to repair the culvert,
but he is overworked raising food for
the allies, and neglects it. If any of
the rest of us were in his position
we would probably do the same. 1t
is so with most of the overseers thru
out our county and all the other
counties in the state. They are all
about as bad as ours. That is why
it will be easy for us to make Bing-
ham the best county in the state.
They are all so bad that we do not
have to improve much to be in the
lead We need men with original
ideas to take hold and do things
without waiting to be told and with
out waiting for accidents and law
suits to force them to act.

NEW CAMPAIGN MATTERS

This paper has said before, that
Judge Ailshie is not a man of big,

just now proving it in peculiar way.
He and the few persons who are aid

sent to the senate because he is
lawyer of such ability that he has
been on the supreme bench and that
he is a north Idaho man.

COUNTY IS SUED FOR ITS SHARE
 OF BRIDGE CARE

The suit of the State of Connecticut against the County of Fairfield was heard by Judge Edward l.. Smith in the Court of Common Pleas Friday afternoon. The action is for a recov- cry of $463.76, from the county, the claim representing one-fourth of the expense of a bridge across the Housa- tonic river, the bridge connecting Southbury in New Haven county and Newtown in Fairfield county.
 The bridge in question forms part of one of the trunk line highways of the state. The state highway commits sioner in July, 1916, notified the com- missioners of Fairfield county and of New Haven county that he intended and that he expected to begin work in about six weeks. After the job was finished the commissioners of Fair fielf county refused to pay and the suit was instituted to recover one fourth of the expense.
 Attorney General George D. Hin man appeared for the state, and Charles E. Williamson for the com
 missioners of Fairfield county. The contention of the Fairfield commis- sioners is that the preliminaries to the reconstruction were not in accor-
 dance with the law, and that the com-
 missioners of the county had no op-
 portunity to object. Judge Smith re-
 served decision.

Men who are interested in inc movement to have the General As sembIy which is to be elected next fall promptly ratify the pending fed eral and state constitutional amend ments for prohibition, have planned a meeting to be held tomorrow night. in the lecture room of the First Methodist church, Fairfield ayenue and Broad street, to consider plans to secure the nomination and cleo ton of Senators and Representatives committed to the "dry'' program. The meeting will not be partisan, Re- publicans, Democrats. and men of other parties being interested.
 The conference will be open to both women and men. but the voters are especially invited, as the primary problem is to effect organization bv Senatorial districts so that the inf1u- ence of the "drys' may be felt in the caususes this fall. Dr. E. J. Moore. associate general superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of America, is scheduled to direct the conference. He is considered one of the best or ganizers in it's service. He has been in Anti-Saloon work as state superin- tendent in Ohio, Missouri and Penn sylvania, and is now one of the four men most prominent in the nation wide prohibition drive, the others be- ing P.

LYRIC

Today begins the banner week for the popular Poli players when the greatest of all farce successes, Char leys Aunt will be presented, with Harold Kennedy in the title role.
 This play will, without doubt, prove to be the best of a long season of de- lightful plays that have been present. ed here for the approval of local theatregoters.
 "Charleys Aunt" is not a serious sort of play, inasmuch as it was built solely for laughing purposes, but with al the comedy end of the attraction, there is a dainty little love theme cntwined throughout the atiocn.
 Though Harold Kennedy is the fea- tured member of the cast in this play that does not mean that the remain ing members of this capable company are sighted in the parts that are given them, to the contrary, however each one will be seen at their best.

The big audiences which will seek amusement today are to be accommo- dated at the Poi theatre where four performances will be offered. A big bill has been provided for the occa- sion which is almost international in its character and is well divided be- tween feature photoplay and vaude- vile.
 ''The Girl From Amsterdam" has been brought to this city at big ex- pense for the opening half of the week. There is a big beauty chorus of ten peaches. Both from a lyrical as well as a dialogue standpoint the material for '"The Girl From Amster- dam" is exceptional and created a furor among the booking agents of Broadway. It was with the utmost difficulty that this act has been pro- cured for it's initial showing in New England before touring the Golden West

The little team reigns su- preme, and will be a diverting de- parture from the ordinary run of pho toplay.

Watch Your Step, Illinois!

William Hale Thompson, burgomeister
of what he has called the sixth German
city in the world. otherwise known as
Chicago, thinks the Republican voters of
Illinois are going to nominate him Sena-'
tor to-day. The man who as Mayor of
Chicago refused to invite the .1offre mis-
sion to the city, who denounced the draft.
who opposed sending troops to Europe,
whose impeachment has been demanded
by the National Security League, has the
effrontery to faunt his disloyalty before
a nation at war.
Representative Medll Mccormick,
whose visit to the West front has
brought him in contact with American
participation liz the war, or George E.
Foss, equally loyal, will surely be named
for the Senatorship at the Republican
primaries to-day. The nomination of
Thompson would be unthinkable In the
words of Theodore Roosevelt at the Hi
nos capital recently:
"Mayor Thompson's speeches and
actions as Mayor of the great city of Chi
cago during the eighteen months since
we broke off relations and then went to
war with Germany have been such that
his election to the Senate would be q
calamity from the standpoint of Ameri-
canism and patriotism while this country
IS engaged in foreign war, and would be
misinterpreted both at home and abroad
and would give satisfaction to Germany
and satisfaction to the pro-German ele-
ment here"
Illinois is not asleep about the Thomp-
son candidacy. On his campaign tour
through the state the Mayor has been
denied the right to speak repeatedly He
was barred from Bellevile and Edwards
vile. The manager of the theatre where
he was to address an Edwardsville
audience thus explained his cancellation
OF the scheduled meeting:
