Tho' avorago yield an aero In Maine is IDS bushels, which means' that some farmers raise 300 bushels. Gorman farmors havo raised es much as '700 bushels an acre. Until farmers" throughout tho country auo ceed In raising, their average, which Is How 113 bushels, to something like the Maine avorage there is littlo prospect for a reducVon of tho high cost of living. It can bo done by proper cultivation and proper fertilizing i ! ' Tho law providing for an experi mental eight-hour day with ton hours pay on Vallroads did not say anything . about tho mlleago basis for wages. Tho employe has been paid either for ten hours work or a 100-mllo run. In re ducing the hours to eight Congress did not-also reduco tho mileage day to eighty. nor was it pressed to enforce the mileage ' , basis, which the brotherhoods deolaro they wll not now surrender. N This is only- one of many perplexities which mada tho employes distrustful of the lawo coon as they had forced It through, But tho measure was admittedly polltl cal and social, and not administrative. It was meant to have "psychological" ef- feet, to bo a sort of minimum basis for wreement in a dispute which was ex pected to begin again Immediately after election. Mr. Hughes made this law a chief Issue in his appeal, Asked if he wymi ropow ji, no repneo tpat "you can not repeal a surrender," Mr. Wilson Will naturally feel that tha people havo tfecidejthat the law was not a surrender. He will feel that tha country has called upan him to bo the solo arbiter in the second half of the fray, sinpe ho stood Upon, his record as sole arbiter In the flrst half and won.

If we give any thought to the ftubjcct we conclude that It would bo junt as foolish to put In chargo of the great engineering works of ft elty like Philadelphia a man whose chief !uallflcatlonil are filet demonstrated skill in political manipulation. The day la coming when wo shall demand for the service of the city the same skill that we demand for the prenervatlon of our health or for the direction of the technical branches of our own private business. The dawning of the day will be hastened when successful business men brltfft tho pressure of their great Influence bear upon the politicians to force tho se lection it experts to do the work for which expert knowledge Is required In the pUblle onlces. Such discussions as have been going on at tho University yesterday and today ought to impress on these busi ness men tho necessity for action. A GOLDEN ERA OF PltOGRESS rpitn independents of this city and State, together with tho Independently minded Itopubtlcana and Democrats, have tho chanco of their llvci to force through tho Loglslaturo the greatest progressive measures In a generation. The Governor, Penrose nnd tho Varci have felt the groundswell of a rovolt that la natlon-wldo. They see as who can not seo? that each Slato has boon put on Its mettle by tho national voice to de clare Itsolf progressive or pultback, to write Into Its lawn measures for tho up building of Its stamina, of Its health, com merce, highways nnd ports. Tho two factions are rushing to get on tho band- 'wagon with rival programs of roform. Pennsylvania can no longer hold aloof from the national swing. The Stnto thnt gavo Koosovolt 500,000 plurality because It believed ho was moro progronslvo than Parker cut that majority down to a min imum because many thousands of Its citi zens believed llughcn was not so pro greRslvo as olthor Roosevelt or WIlBon. Tho Evenino IiEDOEn bolleves thoy crrod In judgmont about Hughes. But It can not Beo the heavy Wilson vote nearly 50,000 above the normal Democratic voto In this city as anything but tho effoct of the samo moral Impulso that elected Blankenburg, an Impulse to repudiate ganglsm, though It broke tho voting traditions of n llfcttmo to do It. For tho time thero are no parties. We are all awaking tp tho fact that wo have been through a revolution. 'Who will say to the ninety-odd thousand Phlladcl phlans who aligned themselves with tho man who declaros ho has put Into law most of tho Roosevelt platform of 1912; who will say to the State that gave Its thirty-eight votes to that Progressive platform when It rejected" both Taft and vWllson as too conservative, that it is to go backward? Already two leaders have hastened to accopt proposals that(have como from the people and not from politicians. Senator Varo and Governor Brumbaugh have taken the least contentious proposal to begin on, It is truo; but still It Is a sign that thoy see the need of doflnlteness that they Indorse the antl-narcotlc-drug movement Tho Govornor Is less doflnlto about the rest of his announced program a great highway system, social legis lation that will strengthen and widen child, labor and compensation laws, and laws to bring labor and capital closer together. But tho people.aro ready with pertinent amendments and with reforms he does not Insist on; Freeing of the highways from tolls. Unshackling this city from its me dieval minor Judiciary. ( Giving this city homo rule and tying the rest of the State up to Phil adelphia Industrially.' Pressing forward the woman suf frage amendment anew, so that this State will pot havo the humiliation of being outvoted by smaller western Commonwealths. Urging tho democratic principle of local option, which spreads beyond tho liquor question to all other home rulo community questions. Abolishing dual office-holding, Revising the Insurance laws. ' The Governor has a legislature In which tho Republicans greatly outnumber the Independents and Democrats, but the tVare and Penrose factions are so evenly divided that even a small body of Inde pendents should be able to hold over either faction a sword of disaster. Fall, ing that, It could put both factions to shame and whip them Into line behind a progressive program. Brumbaugh has the chance to write himself down the exeat Governor who saw the changing of the times and who was so youthful and adaptable In, mind and so quick In perception and sympathy' as to catch the drift of thought in the hearts of all men who unite for progres1 rtveness Wilson - faen, Hughes men, Roosevelt men, The three "types of mind that have battled for supremacy In the nation may differ greatly on na tional issues, but they do not differ on the management of States, They are all three progressive. v A BETTER USB FOR ALCOHOL 1 ' -a ALCOHOL has been receiving such Xj. abysmal denunciation at the hands of the electorate that It la ''refreshing to hear Wr.

HELD A CAPTIVE ON HU1ISIARLNU INDOOR SPORTS FOR INVALIDS I Knocking the M. D.'a While hiding from my physician long enough to recover from a long-drawn-out but simple Illness, I entered one of those mountain retreats called a sanatorium, In that part of Pennsylvania where the boy knock at your door and say: "Old you bell7 Veil, somebody belled I" , Soon I fell In with a number of other "hide-outs" and entered with seat upon for. bidden topics, especially the discussion of tne symptoms 01 our respective aliments. One fellow was telling us about an M. D. who had apparently cured a friend, and who had then been kindly sent by the friend to "cure" the narrator of the story, In the letter's case, however, the doctor signally failed to slie up the situation and finally side-stepped the case. Another of our group commemea mat mey should both have known that an l. D, who ever succeeds in curing one case has doubtless fully served his purpose, and like certain other poor fish and Insects which die after laying their eggs, should then make his exodus from the profession while he has eome laurels to rest on. Then a poor, long-sufferlns Invalid tnid u. that he once called upon an M. D. vitio had been recommended as possessing special skill In diagnosis, and when his turn arrived- Introduced himself to the medico thus: "I am dyspeptic, neuralgic, rheumatic" "And bypochondrlao I" Interjected the Doo; "Ten dollars, please!" "Isn't that rather high, doctor?" said the patient" "Nol" replied the Doctor; "Anyone skill, rul enough to diagnose a case on sirht nv. that Is entitled to ten dollars."

To the Editor of the Evening Ledger: Sir Tho achievements of tho Socialist party In this country and the activity of Socialist propagandists throughout the world have called attention to a movement that threatens to overturn some of our most cherished institutions. Marty good people A BOUQUET FOR McCORMICK Mr. Vance McCormlck Is certainly en titled to congratulations, and so are Mr. Morgenthau and the other men who con tributed to largely to the Buccess ,of the campaign, It is to their credit that they conducted a remarkably clean and straightforward canvass, unusually free from personalities and abuse of the other fellow. We believe that they would wel come an inquiry Into the conduct of their aide of the campaign. It Is true that the real strategy of the battle came from the White House. It Is also true that they urged upon the President a round of stump speaking, which would have been a mistake. Mr, Wilson, too, was in a sense their cam paign. None the less, it was a clean, hon est aboveboard. legitimate bit of political work, Mr. McCormlck himself Is the type of man who ought to leau in our political life.

You can't always bo too sure of a thing, , Magnetic Magician Wilson performed two "Impossible" feats, firstly winning his election as Governor of Republican New Jersey, and secondly, tho late remarkable election remarkable because of the united Republican Party, as the Republican vote, divided between Taft and Roosevelt, ex ceeded that cast for Wilson overwhelmingly. The balance against Wilson was over 1,300,000 votes an apparohtly hopeless handicap for"any party. It fell to Wilson to overcome this, up-hill handicap and to t,urn the adverso balance Into a credit A remarkablo feat this. Wilson Is a great man Tho country has approved his lid ministration. Like "fall" there should be no such words as "Impossible" nnd "too sure." Unforeseen things will not always come your "sure" way. The election result of Tuesday haa happened Wilson's "Im possible" way. M. P. L. Philadelphia, Nov. 18.
