 Now that the smoke and cinders of the primary cleo tion have cleared away, and the board of supervisors have checked the returns from the various precincts of the county, there is only one change in the list of success ful candidates as published last week. In the contest for sheriff, which was tied, in the checking of the re- turns by the election board they found a single vote that Divelbess had grabbed that belonged to Newman, which gave him the nomina- ton on the republican ticket by one vote, which Newman said was the one he had been looking for through several restless days and and he was so elated over the belated find that he stood on one foot until Clerk Teeple surrendered to him his certificate of nomination but he does not agree to roost on one pedal until cleo ted to office.
 There were forty-tWo votes cast for w. H. Larson of Lakeside for county treas urer that were thrown out because of irregularities, and the reason they were ir- regular was because of their being written in on demo- cratic ballots while Larson is strong for republicanism.
 E. s. Clark received more than four times the combin- ed vote of Cameron, Mad dock and Robinson in Hol- brook---and Maddock and Robinson carried off the prize as the champion tail enders throughout the state. They may be corners, but they are yet to come--either one of which are about as live politically as Robinson Crusoe. They were siezed upon by the Cameron forces as decoys to attract some of the Clark sentiment that threatened destruction to the machine---and they both | sacrificed what little they had to sacrifice,/ at the be- hest of their political crea- tors. There are more jeal- ous cats in politics than in polite society, and the fact | that Clark was defeated by | the machinations of a small | coterie of small calibred pol itical hod carriers does not | forecast an election in Nov ember for the republican nominee.

Smith was slated for the to- boggafS by the republican national committee some time ago, the Arizona re- publicans have pulled a "boner" in attempting to do the trick---and the defeat of Winsor was due in a large measure to the friendly feeling" he was toting for Cameron, and if Cameron is defeated in November it can be traced directly to the "stand and deliver" stuff pulled in his campaign for the nomination.

To the hard loser: After the primaries, things seem all disjointed in this weary path we tread, we are gall ed and disappointed and we wish that we were dead. It is a foolish habit letting brinY teardrops start; we should never be a rabbit, we should have a lion heart. If the lion heart is lacking we can still pretend it's there, and our burden blithely packing, show no symptoms of despair. We should be prone to vain repining when we strike the vein of grief, instead of start to whining, and paw around and beef, we should keep our ads ago. ing and acquire a cheerful front, even tho the fact is, tears would seem the proper stunt.

PURITAN AND PILGRIM
 ARE BEING JUNKED

The two famous sound steamers, Pill grim and Puritan that carried thousands of passengers between Providence, Fall River and New York, a quarter of a century, are now being junked by the Scott Wrecking Company at New Lon don. The hulls of what were once these palAtial steamers, have teen lying at an chor in New London harbor for the past six years, awaiting conversion into tanlzers or barges They were recently purchased by the Scott Company from the New England Navigation Company
 All the wooden superstructure was stripped from the boats soon after the Scott Company came into possession of therl and D great deal of the lumber was sold for chicken coops and bunga- lows
 The iron hulIs proved to te too narrow and, Timber for tankers or freighters and it was decided to scrap them. The Pil- grim has had workmen dissecting the steel plates with acetylene torches fol the past week and gre obtaining all meta down to the waterline. The hull was lowed across the Thames river to the Groton Iron Works shipyard. where ii will be hauled out on the ways and there be stripped to the last plate.

MAY REvAMP STATE
 CIVIL. SERVICE IAW

The matter of revamping the state civil service law will be considered by the civil service commission when it meets today Friday) in the capitol at Hart ford for the purpose of considering it's annual report The members of~the com mission have been impressed by the fact that there are twenty-six departments connected with the official life of the state which are under the civil service law and twenty-one which are not, that that condition is anomalous and that it does not make for the best interests of the state. The checking of the payrolls of the various departments is not, the members of the commission think, on a business basis and they are satisfied that the system does not give adequate protection to the interests of the state.
 The suggestion has been made that there should be master payroll which would include the employees of all de partments in the state government and by which payrolls could be properly checked. At present there is no record sufficiently comprehensive to show how many persons are employed by the state, their salaries or their names, each de partfent having its own list.
 It is roughly estimated that there are about 1,800 persons in the employ of the state.
 It has been intimated that the civil service commission, whose only purpose is to improve service rendered by state employees, might favor the substitution of a board made up of business men, hav- ing experience as employers, for the pres ent civil service commission. Indeed the statement has been made that it might be better to drop the words civil ser vice" from the title of the commission and to give it a name that would indi- , cate it's supervisory power over employ ment in the service of the state. The determination of States Attorney Hugh NJ Alcorn to retire from the civil service commission at the end of his present term, owing to the insufffciency of the present law, has directed the at tention of the public to the necessity of doing something to make it more effec- tive

A SONG IN SUMMER

When the days fire from the lamp of the sum-
 And the long afternoons heal the heart with their peace dream of a time when my life will not run
 On those highways of joy where the flowers increase OF1 think of day when the clouds will drift by
 In lordly possession above yonder hill, While shall be sleeping beneath the hushed sky.
 But dreaming, still dreaming, though lying so still Yet well shall know of this pageant of green,
 This Spendor that thrills through the wde aching world; And see once again. what my glad eyes have seen.
 When JuneS splendid banners are proudly unfurled. The pomp and the glory of summer I'll know;
 shall see the moon rise on the crest of the hill; And shall be happy when soft the winds blow, And smile in my sleep, though lie there so still
