either. Many cities have routes on which commercial vehicles are not allowed. They are shunted by other streets so that there will be no serious traffic tie-ups caused by huge vehicles blocking narrow passassways. One-way traffic on our highways is the fore- runner of many things, notably the sep aration of the two kinds of motor travel. It is as inevitable as the coming of the dawn after the night. And what triumph it will be when this great country of ours is spanned by parallel truck and pleasure vehicle roadways Probably in ten years this change will be apparent Certainly not later than that.

Death Rules Congress

Once more the democratic party holds working ma iority in the House of Represen- :. tatives. Death last night claimed Represen- tatiye Fletcher Hale of New Hampshire shortly after he was landed from an ocean liner. The standing in the House at this late date with the opening of the 72nd Con qress just little over month away is 2l4 demoerts, 2l3 republicans l farmer-iapor' 7 vacancies. Twice this week have the deaths of republican representatives been re- corded It is likely that before Congress conyenes on December that there will be more vacancies in the House.
 With every state demanding that thirty days elapse between announcement of Spe- cial congressional election and actual bailot- ing there is the likelihood of Congress con- venng the first Monday in December with less than its full strength. It would be re- markable if the entire membership were present despite the fact that both parties will be exhorted by their leaders to respond to the call There is a twofold reason for good showing by both democratis and re- publicans. In the first place control of the House is a moot question today. More and more it looks as if the democrats would or- ganize the House.
 Secondly there are questions of great moment to be discussed and acted upon as soon as our legislators get down to business and forget their political lines. The admin stration has lengthy program to be either rejected or approved. And there are other matters of the gravest importance demanding the best of the men on whom the voters have placed the responsibility of guiding the na- ton through perilous waters. All of which means that both parties must merger their full strength for the opening date.
 The death of Representative Hale of the first New Hampshire district was unexpected to say the least He was only 48 years old and apparently in good health when he left this country to participate in the 27th Cons ference of the Interparliamentary Union at Bucharest together with fellow congressmen. His death will give New Hampshire but one representative in the House until successor has been chosen. And unless the New Hampshire state officials act promptly and call special election there will be no sue- cessor to be sworn in when Congress con- venes on December 7.
 The same holds true in New Jersey where Representative Ernest R. Alderman of the fifth district died early this week. It is imperative from republican viewpoint that the special election be called in the near future. There are five other vacancies to be filled. also. but all of them will be by December as special elections have been called or else the congressional successor will be elected at the regular November elections, many of which are being held this year. It was only last week that republican repre- sentative was elected in the first Wisconsin district to give the republicans paper ma jority of one. That was speedily dissipated by the untimely deaths of Representatives Alderman and Hale. Death certainly is playing its part in guiding the political des- tinies of the nation this year.

We'll, welll The Prince of Wales has other accomplishments besides his dancing, riding, and bashfulness when forced to make speeches or be photographed by the movie men. He has just let it be known that he is an oyster grower and as such is worried over the situation in Britain. It seems that British oysters are of an unusually good quality when they can be obtained. Being scarce they come high to-day. Some sort of disease. whose origin and cause is unknown is preying on the bivalves and the Prince is as anxious as any grower to dis cover just what it is. Perhaps some day we may read of Wales as the Oyster Prince of the world. Certainly the democratic quail ities of this young man are astonishing.

senator and every representative. Also, that if a candidate carries, say New York, by 100000 votes to his opponents 99g,999 the lat ter gets no credit for the 999,999 In the electoral college because full slate is elected on a unit rule basis.
 It is consequently possible for a candidate to receive a plurality of the popular vote and still lose. That has happened two or three times. the last victim being Grover Cleve- land in 1888. But when the house votes for a president-as it did last in 1924-there are 13 smaller states each with three representatives or less which become just as impor- tant as the 1S largest states which have more than 10 times their population. The number of repre- sentatives averages about nine to a state and there are 28 states which are now entitled to eight or fewer.

We like the idea which will be demon strated at the Holcomb school in Southing- ton.

On the other hand, we have in mind the picture of a flock of hudded quail in thieket. at night when the moon is up. all their tails in the center heads outside. in little ring. sleeping while the foxes prowl. The birds have many ene- mics. Surely let those who hunt them now show compensating zeal next winter to be- friend them when the snows come and their food runs low" - Hartford Times We also see picture. Beautiful pheasants. their variegated feathers streaked with blood and ruffled strings of them; proud hunters displaying their catch and being photo- graphed. Other pictures; other game; per- haps rabbits. squirrels; hundreds of them. We wonder how many thousands of birds and animals are slain annually' We won- der how many hunters slay just for the pleasure of it. Time was when the pioneers of this nation depended upon game for their food supply. They don't to-day. but the number of birds and animals killed far ex- ceeds that of the old days. Our plea this fall is for moderation in hunting. After all the bird or animal hasn't much chance against modern high-powered rifles and shot, guns. plus all the human ingenuity that man employs to increase his kill.

Man Accused of Sabotage on New
Dirigible in Akron Sought
to Leave Country.
BY the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 9.-Federal
officials Tuesday refused a passport to
Paul F. Kassay, 38, of Akron. who, in
April, was charged with violating the
Ohio criminal syndicalism law in al
legedly making threats to destroy the
Nays new dirigible Akron.
Whether the refusal is final was not
learned. Charles H. Trivison, deputy
clerk Of the United States District
Court, declined to say where Kassay
wanted to go.
Kassay was an officer in the Austro-
Hungarian Army during the World
War. but now is a naturalized citizen
OF the United States.
Assistant District Attorney Charles L
Russo said that the Government has
no charge against or warrant for Kas-
say at this time"
Kassay was freed April % when
Common Pleas Judge Walter B. Wanna
maker of Akron ruled the syndicalism
law unconstitutional. An appeal by the
Summit County prosecutor is pending
before the State Supreme Court.
The dirigible is scheduled to be
launched at Akron early in August.

catch phrases throughout the nation,
for these two sets Of numerals represent
TIE number of industrial enterprises and
tractor stations, respectively. which the
government hopes to complete this year
under the five-year plan.
Often linked together much as a COL
lege foot ball cheer, the two slogans
are chanted at meetings of workers,
spread in white letters on flaming red
banners in streets and public places
and spoken over the radio daily to the
farthermoSt corners of the union.
Steel mills in widely scattered sec
tions OF the country, turf -cutting plants
in the north, sawmill plants in far
Siberia, scientific Institutes for the
study of minerals, chemicals and other
industrial materials represent only a
few of the enterprises contemplated
under this ambitious phase of the cam
paign to indCstrialize the nation.

Many of them will be large; many
small More than 100 plants have been
finished and opened for business, and,
If the schedule is adhered to, an average
of more than one a day will be COM
pleted during the remainder of 1881
Among the larger plants already fin
