Reversing a Right Policy Next Monday evening the Republican city committee and the city advisory committee will hold a meeting at which shall be decided whether or not the Republican candidate for mayor will be chosen by a primary or a convention. It has been years since a Republican candidate for mayor of this city was chosen at a convention, that pet device of the boss system. It will be a great pity, if the Republicans of this city reverse a policy that has led in the right direction and exchange a city primary for a convention. Aside from the unfairness to the rank and (file of the party in such a move, the very name convention should rise up spectre like from the ashes of last June, to convince the local party leaders that if they would have their party become once more an important factor in local political affairs they cannot appeal for support from intelligent voters after reorganizing on such a basis. It is a double pity, for the sake of the advancement of popular government in our city af

fairs that not only the Republicans, but also the

iDemocrats will not join in a tri-party primary

with the Progressives for the selection of city candidates. In such a manner the chance for

corruption could be reduced to a minimum and

the two old line parties would have risen to the jetand taken by the Progressives, that the will of the rank and file of political parties shall be their guiding principles. ; Farm Experts Valuable In another column on this page is a communication from a subscriber who takes issue with the modern tendency to pay specialists to take the time we cannot afford, to study and solve our problems for us. In particular,, objection is 'raised to this county's engaging a farm expert whose services shall be at the disposal of all our fanners. The main ground for the objection is that this is a useless expenditure of money as Wayne county farmers know all there is to know about farming. . ,N TheJPaUadium, consistent with its firmly implanted belief in the value of scientific farming,

naturally feels that just grounds exist for differing with the conclusions of this communication. ! - For example, all farmers once selected their seed, corn by. pure guess work. They hefted the ear, sliced into the heart of a kernel with a knife and if the signs were propitious, why, there was their seed corn. Whether a poor crop resulted from this method of seed selection or from Mother causes the farmers had no sure way of proving. Professor Holden of Iowa, a farm scientist, jone day took six kernels running spirally on the cob from each of a number of ears of corn. Each set of six kernels was placed on damp sand in a separate compartment in a shallow box. In four or five days germination was complete. Some sets of six were found to be all germinating strongly ; some were half strong and half weak ; some all weak and some not germinating at all. Then he planted the corn from all the ears by plots according to their classification in the germinating test. The corn from the ears that had germinated strongly in the test all came up and made a large and profitable crop. That

from the half strong and half weak made only a fair crop in comparison to the former. The all weak made a pitiful crop and the ears that did not germinate in the test had better have been thrown to the crows for they made no crop. Today many, though by no means nearly all farmers only plant corn that has graded one hundred per cent, in the germination test. ' Agricultural reports show that these men are uniformly successful in raising bigger yields than when they practiced the old method of seed selection. It has been conservatively estimated that if all corn farmers would apply Professor Holden's germination test, with no more labor or expense, the corn crop of the country would be increased twenty per cent. Wayne county's farmers' share in such a gain would pay the expenses of a number of farm experts. And we only need one to show us countless other short cuts to easier and more profitable farming.

today with more Wall street control than for a good many years, could co-operate in such legislation. Wall street, considering its predominant gambling interest, must have a far different currency system than the country as a whole is striving for. Wall street's gambling functions are nourished with countless millions of dollars drawn from the arteries of legitimate commerce and industry. Wall street will not surrender its prerogatives under the present currency system without a mighty strenuous fight. And we wager it will make that fight through the instrumentality of the Republican party's tory representation in congress as well as through Ryan and Tammany Democrats.

WHAT RAILWAY FIREMEN WIN

Higher wages and better -working conditions are assured by the award of the board of arbitration in the dispute between the fifty-four Eastern railroads and their 31,000 firemen. 'It is the most important labor dispute ever arbitrated under the Edman Act," says the Evening Sun, which ha's nothing but admiration for the settlement of labor disputes in this orderly process. The fact that the board's decision, favorable as It is to the firemen. Is also unanimous. Incites the newspaper to point out the lesson of the folly and wa3te of strikes as against the fair and intelligent conduct of matters debatable before the arbitration board as a court of last resort. The public has been saved the privation and loss that must have resulted from a strike on all the railway lines of the East. The roads and their employes have just so much more to their credit in wages and dividends; and the good example cf such a termination to a most serious dispute has "a value hardly to be exaggerated." The three members of the board, Judge "W. L. Chambers, Vice President W. W. Atterbury, of the Pennsylvania railroad, and Vice President Albert Phillips, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, are unanimous in a decision that affects more than one-fourth of the total railroad mileage of the United States. Besides an increase In the daily wage of firemen, the award establishes a uniform scale of wage for the same class of workmen on all the roads involved in the case. The award takes effect from May 4, 1913, although the firemen's demand was that it should be made retroactive, as of date July 1, 1912.

Estimates of the actual Increase in the wage scale of the firemen vary. The New York World quotes ex-Judge Chambers, Chairman of the Arbitration Board, as placing it at "an average estimated at 6 to 12 per cent," and the same newspaper relates that "a prominent Pennsylvania railroad official, after going over the award, said he did not believe the net flat rate wage advance would exceed an average of 8 per cent., and might not exceed 6 per cent." The New York Evening Post cites, an estimate of $4,000,000 increase in annual expenses to the roads, about

the same amount as was entailed by the engineers' strike, and it hints that the public will be asked to foot the bill: "Whether these incidents are to be followed by similar movements affecting other departments of the railway eervice is a question for the future; but in any case the idea of a revision of railway rates to correspond to increased expenses, prominently put forward a couple of years ago and checked by the vigorous interposition of Attorney-General WIckersham, can hardly 1 to be suggested afresh by these developments."

YESTERDAY IN THE SENATE AND HOUSE

THE RAJAH'S PRIDE By Will H. Ogilvie

He who ruled for the English king Summoned the chiefs to his counseling. Princes and governors met at his call, East with the west, in the council-hall.

Never was ranged in a room before Such wealth' of gems as the rajahs wore; The smallest stone In the simplest ring Was the ransom price of a captured king. A prince there was of a petty state, Least of them all where all were great, Lacking it seemed, in the pride assigned By the gracious gods to the lords of Hind. A ruby chanced from his chain to fall On the paven floor of the council-hall. Forgetting his eastern dignity, The chief with his henchman bent the kneer And searched for the jewel with nervous dread. While a. smile on the English faces spread. Beside him, impassive, a rajah stood. His rubies of Burmah red like blood, His emeralds flashing a sea-green fire. His pearls surpassing a queen's desire; Yet his rarest jewels less brightly burned Than the flame in his eyes when, fierce, he turned And noted the deed of the native-born And the English lips that curled in scorn. With a sudden movement light as a girl's He snapt a string of his priceless pearls; Like hail they scattered; his servants came Swift to his aid, but his eyes flashed flame "No!" The word fell like a blade on the air. "What is found in the dust is the sweeper's share!" London Spectator.

Senate. In session at 2 p. m. Territories committee continued its hearing on Alaskan problems.

Republicans resumed fight for public hearing on Underwood tariff bill. Senator Bristow offered an amendment to the sugar schedule, providing for gradual reduction of tariff. Went into executive session to consider nominations. Republicans resumed fight against confirmation of W. J. Harris as director of the census and prevented action after debate of several hours. Adjourned at 8:45 p. m. until noon today.

tural department of the schools, and Mr. Editor, in my humble opinion Mr. Mason is right. The former is a patient man. He endures all the slurs and insults handed him without seeming protest. But hasn't this thing gone about far enough? The farmer understands his business of farming as well as the merchant understands how to sell goods. As well as the lawyer understands how to work his client, as well as the editor, the chairman of a Commercial club or a school trustee understands his business. The farmer of Wayne county is a well educated, smart, well dressed, up-to-date business man, and he does not wish nor care, nor appreciate all this folderol about "uplifting" and "intensifying," "educating" and "helping" and "bringing out" and "teaching" himself and his wife and his children how to carry on their business any more than any other business man would wish any such a state of affairs in his business.

correctly, has risen to the heights of true statesmanship in desiring that Progressives, Democrats and Republicans shall unite in congress to pass a non-partisan currency bill. Such handling of the currency question is devoutly to be hoped for, but it seems too ideally good to be possible of 'accomplishment.

Or Does Everything You Eat Distress You? Experts declare that the reason stomach disorders are so common in this country is due to hasty and careless habits of eating. Stomach troubles and run-down conditions also usually go together. John Lind. of Oneonta, N. Y., says: "I had a bad stomach trouble for fifteen years and became bo weak that I could hardly walk or do any work. My appetite was very poor, and it seemed impossible to get any relief. Since taking two bottles of Vinol I

find that it has already made a re-i

markable improvement in my health, my digestion is much stronger, and I have gained in weight" Vinol makeB weak stomachs strong because it strengthens and tones up the weakened, tired and over-taxed nerves of the digestive organs. Vinol is easily assimilated by the weakest stomachs, and is delicious to the taste. Try a bottle of Vinol with the understanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you. Leo H.
