Prosperity's right hand Is indus try, and her left hand Is frugality. John Ploughman. So far the year 1012 has estab lished a record for changeable weather, and we have had all kinds of it the past few weeks. It has been many years since the farmers of this locality have been so far back with their spring work as they are this year, as there has not been one full week of good weather at one time since the snow went away, Deciding a demurrer in the Middle sex County Courts at New Bruns wick, N. J., a few days ago, Judge Daly declared that a wholesale li cense has no right to deliver outside of the town or city in which It is lo cated. The decision was of wide in terest to the dealers in the country. The case was in the nature of a test case to settle a point upon whicn there had been a difference of view. CONSOLING THOUGHT OX FLIES. There's a lot of satisfaction when one swats a fly nowadays in the knowledge sent broadcast Ijy the anti-fly crusaders about the number of flies that might have been at the end of the season if one hadn't swatted the aforementioned specimen in its first feeble efforts at walking. If one (meaning a fly) strolls across your mucilage bottle these wet May days swat it with the gleeful thought that you thereby probably prevent a few million like specimens before the "baseball pennants are worn There Is a great dcnl of perturba tion In official circles in Washington over the curtailment of sinecures by the Sundry Civil appropriation bill as it has passed the House of Repre sentatives. The measure lops off a lot of bureau officials, consular agents and other "beef eaters" in the State Departments who have been performing little work and drawing large salaries. It is believ ed taat the saving to the govern ment, as the result of this legislation will amount to several hundred thousand dollars a year. But It will also cut out of the pay-roll a large number of party pensioners who will thus Tje driven to the disagreeable necessity of earning their living by honest labor. The Pennsylvania State Grange has arranged for a conference be tween the organized farmers of Penn sylvania and prominent educators, in cluding the Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction and the State Board of Education, upon the subjects of The School Code as It Affects Rural Schools." and "The Teaching of Ag riculture in Public Schools." The meeting will be held in the House caucus room of the State capitol on Friday. May 24. The Governor will preside. The Grange viow -will be presented by William T. Creasy, Jerome T. Allman andothcrs. The subjects to bo discussed at the con vention are all important to the farmer. They represent tho vital questions that are before tho farmer of to-day, and they should be given deep and considerate thought by every Wayno county farmer. that makes his nomination unwise, and Mr. Taft replies that it is tho personal egotism and ambition of Roosevelt that makes his nomination dangerous. So the campaign has de veloped Into one of personalties. For the future, matters should be so ordered that a repetition Of this spectacle will be Impossible. One of the remedies proposed is the limita tion of tho presidential term to six years. Legislation Is already under way in congress looking to a con stitutional change of this character, and thus far no serious opposition to the project has developed. Presi dent Taft, in one of his Massa chusetts speeches a few weeks ago, strongly recommended such a change. Ex-President Roosevelt In speaking of it more recently, called it, in characteristic Roosevelt phrase, a Tom-fool proposition. It seems to us that the argument is with those who favor the change. The custom has become a fixed one of giving a president a second noml nation. Not to do so would be for his party to put the stamp of disap proval on the conduct of his admin istration. It necessarily follows that a large part of his time and effort during his first term will bo ex ponded in strengthening himself po lltically looking to a renomination, instead of making It his first and sole aim to perform the duties of his office with an eye single to the wel- fare of all the people. Moreover it gives opportunity for just such a spectacle as the American people are now witnessing with regret and im patience. And if the salutary cus tom of limiting a president to two terms be broken down a result of the present campaign, then we are like ly to have an Indefinite repetition of the present undignified contest. There Is hardly an argument to be made against the constitutional limi tation proposed, provided the length of the term fixed upon be such as to give tho occupant of the office abundant time to work out his poli cies and Justify his administration, and still not such as to fasten upon the country for an undue period a president, an administration and a policy that, after due trial, have proved to be mistaken, unwise and unsound. A four-year term would be too short, an eight-year term might ho too long. But six years would be sufficient within which to get from any competent president, the best work and the best results with the minimum of risk. The Citizen believes that it would be to the advantage of the American people, as a measure of political economy, to limit by constitutional amendment, the presidential term to six years. for tho town and community. And the moro his business Increases, tho more nttcntlon Is called to tho town. If one man can accomplish this much, how much moro can be done, provided all pull together, all working for tho samo result, and In tent on reaching tho same end. This has been done In other places; In fact It never falls, when earnestly tried. How to Kill Your Town. Buy from peddlers as much and as often as possible. They never etlng you. Oh, no! IDcnounce your merchants because they make a profit on their goods. Glory in the downfall of a man who has done much to build up your town. Make your town out a bad place and stab It every chance you get. 'Refuse to unlto in any scheme for the betterment of the material In terests of tho community. Tell your merchants that you can buy goods n great deal cheaper In some other town and charge them with extortion. If a stranger comes to your town tell him everything is overdone, and predict a general crash in the near future. Patronize outside newspapers to the exclusion of your town and then denounce yours Tor not being as largo and as cheap as the city pa pers. If you are a merchant don t ad vertise In the home paper, hut com pel the editor to go elsewhere for advertisements and howl like a sore head because he does so. iBuy a rubber stamp and use It. It may save you a few dlmc3 and make your letter heads and wrappers look as though you were doing business In a one horse town. If you are a farmer, curse the place where you trade as the mean est on earth. Talk' it over to your neighbors and tell them the men are robbing you. OBITUARY. Death of Thomas II. Dickson.

It Is not an edifying spectacle to see a president and an ex-presldent of tho United States going about tho country hurling invectives at each other In a campaign for renomina tion. It Is not a practice which be fits the dignity and Importance of tho offlco to which each of them aspires. The only excuse for It is that It ap pears to havo been brought about not as a matter of choice, l)ut of necessity. Mr. Roosevelt claims that It Is tho personal weakness of Taft The business men of tho town should stop talking nnd hoping for others to do something for their town. They should got together themselves, and prove to tho world that they havo a money making town. No outsider will want to fish In your swimming hole, until you prove that you can catch fish.
