FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1010.
Democrat and Republican politicians
are eagerly awaiting the opinion of Attor
' ney-General Isaac Lobe Straus in regard
to the provision of the new Primary
election law which requires that all mem
tiers of the party machinery be elected by
the people. Under the provisions of the
Lee Direct Primary law it is believed by
the politicians that the members of tbe
State Central Committee, ward committee
men, connty committeemen and precinct
committeemen most be elected, and also
that an election for this purpose most be
held annually.
Not only is it expected that such a re
quirement will mean a constant political
turmoil, but it is believed that it will cost
the State a large snm.
In the counties the County Commission
ers would be required to pay the cost of
the primaries, and this money must be
raised in the tax levy.
Senators By Direct Primary Vote.
- Notwithstanding the movement for the
election of United States Senators by
direct vote baa been bitterly opposed by
all machine politicians, it has steadily
gained ground. The intelligent voter of
the present day believes in independence,
and machine methods and practices go
astray oftener nowadays than in times
gone by.
The opponents of, the direct vote for
‘ Senators are fighting desperately against
the movement, but twenty-nine State
Legislatures have declared in its favor,
and Congress may be compelled to sub
mit to such an amendment in spite of its
''millionaire Upper House, which naturally
fears its adoption, well knowing that
with its enactment numerous members
now serving in that body by grace of their
dollars alone, would be left at home.
The lower house of Congress has on
more than one occasion pnt itself on
record by passing a joint resolution to
anbmit an amendment providing for the
election of Senators by direct vote, but it
has always been smothered in the Senate,
and never allowed to come to a vote, as
the Money Bags are afraid of it.
Tbe Parcels Post and the Country
Merchant.
Whenever the bill for tbe parcels post
comes up in Congress there is a great out
cry abont the country merchant. A
parcels post,-it is said, will ruin the
country merchant The country mer
chants are not making the outcry. It is
the express companies. They overcharge
the country merchants and oppress them
to the fhll extent of their opportunities
and then get behind the country mer
chants to protect their monopoly.
Tbe parcels post would not hurt the
country merchant. On the contrary, it
would enable him to do an order business
for his patrons and to retail country pro
ducts in the cities. A vast amount of
food goes to waste on every farm at a
time when people in tbe cities have to
pay big prices for it. The cost of trans
portation and distribution is too great. A
family in London makes an arrangement
with a farmer to send a dozen fresh eggs
by mail every morning or two. Boxes
*. for this purpose are made, and the cost of
a dozen eggs from any part of
\ England to the front door of a house in
London is aj£d., or's cents. The Lon
don family can get a pound of fresh
butter this way, and other articles of food
can be obtained in tbe city by this quick
and inexpensive method. Both the con
sumer and the farmer in this country
would profit enormously by this plan.
■ In England the postoffice seems to be
conducted for the convenience of the
tbe people. In the United States one of
the main objects seems to be the emolu
ment of tbe railroads and the protection
of tbe express company uionoply.—

WASHINGTON LETTER <i
The administration railroad bill, adopt*
ed after three weeks discussion, has been
the most important legislative event of
the week, or perhaps of the session.
There is much discussion in political and
legislative groups with reference to tbe
effect of the bill. The regular Republi
cans insist that it reenacts tbe present law
in regard to the long and short banl.
The Democrats see in it much progress in
the right direction. The insurgents are
evidently disappointed wit's the bill as
passed. It is, however, evident from the
bill that tbe bnrden is shifted from tbe
shipper to the" railroad in the matter of
long and short haul rales. Under tbe
terms of tbe bill as passed, tbe railroad
will have to satisfy tbe Interstate Com
merce Commission that the rates are
equitable and not unduly discriminatory.
Under the present law, this bnrden has
been upon the shipper, who has had to
oppose the long and short haul rates upon
tbe ground of their unreasonableness.
The insurgents are satisfied with this
feature of the bill and ary'claiming a vic
tory as far as it goes. The long and short
banl feature of the bill was introduced
by Senator Dixon of Montana -agd his
amendment made it unlawful for any
common carrier to charge more for a
short, haultban for a long haul when tbe
short baul is included witbin the long
banl. There was, however, a clause to
the effect that by application to the Inter
state Commerce Commission, the common
carrier might in some cases be antborized
by the Commerce Commission to charge
less for a longer than for a shorter dis
tance. The passage of this amendment
emphasizes what has long been evident
with reference to all legislation, that
little direct and postive progress can bf
made and that all enactments id closely
contested bills are the result of a series of
compromises and that very seldom radical
or important changes are enacted.
A
Two more statues Have been added this
week to tbe many that adorn the parks,
squares and triangles of-yWasbington.
One is an equestrian statue of Count
Pulaski, and the other a heroic sized
statue of Koseinsko. These statues have
been presented by Polish citizens of the
. United States who, with their descend
ants, are said to number from four to five
, millions. There was a great parade of
. regular and volunteer soldjery, fully 5000
i in number, with speeches from the Presi
. dent and cabinet officers and also from
1 distinguished Poles, and one delivered in
, the Polish language. There is no city in
. this country and scarcely any city in the
world that has .more bronze monuments
than Washington, and quite a nnmber of
t others are contracted for, notably that of
5 tbe equestrian monument of Gen. Grant,
. surrounded by a group of distinguished
f contemporaries.

There is now good prospect that Con-
L gress will pass a bill changing iuaugura
t lion date from the proverbially inclement
, March 4th t? tbe last Thursday in April,
, nearly two months later, and to a time of
f year more suitable ior a great out-door
f pageant. The bill will be called up
, Monday by Congressman Parker of the
Judiciary Committee, who has it in
, charge, and put upon its passage under
, suspension of tbe rules. Mr. Henry, who
is the antbor of tbe bill, says that there is
| but one possible obstacle to its passage
’ And submission to tbe states for ratifica
tion; be is afraid of indifference in Cou
. S resß nd not in tbe state legislatures
' after the measure has received the ap
’ praval of tbe national Congress. If the
bill is passed nearly two months will be
( added to tbe short session of Congress,
and with the growing national business,
these months are of great importance. It
is known tbat the new bill would assure
good weather, or* at least tolerable
weather for tbe great public function
. which occurs once in four years, tbe in
auguration of a president, and which at
. tracts now a quarter of million people to
Washington and which in good weather
, will attract a still larger nnmber. • The
. bill or amendment, if adopted, will go in
. to effect January Ist, 1913, which is after
. tbe term of tbe present Congress, and it
, arranges tbat the term of the president
and vice-president then in office shall be
extended to tbe last Thursday in April
and tbat all subsequent terms of'tbe
I president, vice-president an'* members of
Congress shall end tbat day. It is thought I
tbat if it once receives congressional ap
prove I, the proposition will receive ratifi
cation by at least tbree-fourtbs of tbe
states of the Union, which will make it a
s. '
law. It is notorious that owing to the in
clement weather peculiar to the early days
of March, lives of distinguished men have
been lost, that the health of others has
been impaired and it -is doubtless the
case that many others less distinguished
have met their death through visiting
Washington in the inclement weather
peculiar -to the 4th of March, Inaugura
tion Day. ?
*
* *
A vote on the measure was taken on
Monday and it was defeated by one-third
of a vote, the old mossbacks winning by
this narrow margin, and the old order of
things will still prevail in the inaugura
tion date. A two-thirds vote of each
branch of Congress is required for the
passage of such a resolution, which must
in turn have the approval of the Legist a
latures of three-fourths of the States, v'
After a4O minutes’ debate the roll was
called, and the result stood 139 to 70 in
favor of the resolution, with 21 other
members answering present. The total
number of votes cast was 209 Two-thirds
of that number is so that it was by
one-third ot a vote that the resolution
failed. But for the sudden decision of
two members to vote instead of remain
ing paired the resolution would ’have
carried by a vote of 139 to 68, or one
more than the necessary two-thirds.
These members were Representatives
Loudenslager and Kinkaid, who £have
a general pair. Just before the an
nouncement of the vote they discovered
that each is opposed to- the proposal to
change the inaugural date, and at the las;
moment they mutually agreed to break
their pair and vote. Both voted in the
negative and their action is responsible
for the defeat of the resolution.
Why Kidney Disease Is Dangerous.
Kidney disease is dangerous because it
comes on unwares and progresses to a
fatal stage before the sufferer realizes
what the trouble is.
If you begin to run down, feel badly,
bave_indigestion, inactive Liver, etc., you
have reason to suspect that your Kidneys
are affected and a special Kidney treat
ment should be taken at once. Delays
are dangerous. Rydale’s Kidney Remedy
is the best remedy known for the Kidneys.
It never fails to restore them to health.
Rydale’s Kidney Remedy will cure
Bright’s Disease if taken before too much
of the Kidneys are destroyed. The
Remedy can do no harm if your kidneys
are not the cause of your ill-health. It
is the safest remedy if they are the cause.

REDUCES TAX RATE.
King Split-Log Drag is Partly
Credited With Low Rate of
Tax In Rapho.
In an item appearing recently in the
newspapers of Lancaster it is stated that
the supervisors of Rapho township when
they settled their financial accounts a
year ago found a balance of over |Boo on
hand after .paying off all indebtedness.
On the strength of this the tax rate was
reduced from five to three and a half
thills. Notwithstanding this reduction in
income the auditors found at this year’s
settlement a balance of $4,619.44 in the
hands of the treasurer. The tax raje was
again reduced and this year’s tax was
levied on a two and a-balf mills basis.
This item attracted the attention of a
gentleman who is interestod in the road
question and not being able to see how
the supervisors could reduce their income
for roads when the demand for better
roads is stronger than ever sought the in
formation from oue of the supervisors of
tljat township. He knew the'King Split
log Drag had done-much to improve the
roads at slight expense and believed that
the use of tbe~ffrags methodically by
supervisors would lessen the expense of
road maintenance, so in seeking informa
tion he asked what part the drag had
taken in the lessened expense of road
maintenance in that township. He learn
ed the board of supervisors is always “on
the job” getting the best results for the
money expended. Stone is extensively
bought and delivered in the township,
but the inquirer was very much gratified
to learn that the King Split-log Drag had
contributed its share. The township has
twelve of the drags in use and pays thirty
cents an hour for operating them.
Wherever used they accomplished good
results and very materially lessened the
cost of maintenance of the portions or
sections of the roads on which they were
in continual use. t
The agitation which has swept over
this section of the State in the last year or
two, calling the attention of the super
visors, road master and farmers to the
King Drag is thus apparently bearing
fruit, and the experience bad by the.
supervisors of Rapho township as well as
other progressive supervisors should be
an object lesson for those in charge of
roads who have not as yet investigated
1 the merits of the King Drag. It bhs been
the experience of the more progressive
supervisors that the use ofjtbe drag on
earth roads produces roads as good as a
race track and materially reduces the cost
of maintenance, the good road being
cheaper than the poor road. As a busi
ness proposition supervisors cannot afford
to neglect the use of the split-log drag,
and as a good road maker of the highest
merit its use on the roads should not be
longer delayed.—Quarryville Sun.

A 'Versatile Garden.
The dwellers In a seaport town of
* Massachusetts are justly proud of their
■ gardens. It remained for a visitor
frotn a tiny village "way round the
Cape” to say the first slightly . dis
paraging word of. these gardens.
“Isn’t this beautiful?” his hostess ask
-1 ed as she paused-qpder a rose arbor
* and looked back over the stately ranks
1 of larkebur. monk’s hood, hollyhocks
f and many other favorites.
■ “It’s a handsome gardin—of its
kind,” said the visitor dispassionately,
“but it ain’t quite up to the mark
when you consider our gardins.”
“Indeed!” and the lady looked at
' him, too amazed to be angry. “What
sort of gardens have you, please?”
* “Well.” said her Cape visitor calm
ly. “what we call a good gardin is one
) where you can start out with two big
baskets and a hoe, step through the
flower gardin part, past the vegetables,
down to the water; dig your clams
fust, pick your sweet corn, lay your
posies on top o’ that and hand the
whole lot over at the kitchen door.
. There’s your shore dinner and tslm
