Are We Coming to This?

No doubt MI ny of our people who
frequent Milwaukee will be interested
in the following fl ON The Waukesha
Freeman: 1.-THE St. Paul railway COM
pany has ceased issuing the individual
(?) twenty-five ride tickets and is issu-
ing twenty five ride coupon ticket, the
cover Of which bears description of
the owher and each coupon has to be
signed. The arrangement is highly
unsatisfactory to a number ofresidents
who were in the habit of riding on
tickets bearing other persons names,
and to local scalpers who were doing a
profitable business. The Northwestern
company is selling the old tickets and
is increasing the business of the line
materially"

where he received surgical attention.

THE OLD, OLD STORY.

But the Red Seals Prevent Fraud
One of the curious freaks Of Truman
nature is the Unsuitable desire to be
noticed. If a man discovers or inyents
something which is real blessing to
mankind, it brings him fame or repu-
tation honestly earned, but timmedi ate
Iva lot of little heads come up and
shout, "Me too," Notice me, too,'
"Here, look this way, look at me, too"
Nearly every other person one
meets nowadays drinks the new hot
food drink, Postum. the health coffee,
some Me too" will begin to shout for
someone to notice his cereal drink.
The physician who invented the
processes for preparing grain to make
Postum Cereal Food Coffee worked at
it about a year He smiles quietly
when told that people may initiate his
discovery. 1T is easy to brown some
rye or malt and call it coffee cereal,
but the public cannot be deceived.
There is but one Postum Cereal food
drink, and it cannot be inflated"
The genuine packages have large
red seals containing the words, 1T
makes red blood" and manufactured
by the Postum Cereal Co., Lin, Battle
Creek. Mich, and the contents are
scientifically prepared to produce a
pungenl, piquant and highly nourish-
ing drink, which certainly does make
red blood and round, fat happy bodies
of the grown folks and children.

Because a postmaster at one of the small offices has just been detected in swindIng the government by filling out postal money orders, upon which it is charged he secured the money, it is un- derstood an attempt is to be made re- stricting the business and limiting the number of orders which each pOstmas- ter can issue Tn each month, with each order limited to $lOO. This would be all wrong and an unjust hardship in many cases. The postmaster is a bonded officer of the government, and the government should protect itself without subjecting the citizens to un- necessary inconvenience.

The latest reports from Hanover, Germany, to the Agricultural depart ment is that American horses have re- gently advanced in Germany, and are selling at prices ranging from $225 to $500 per head. The freight on each an- imal is S25, and the man attending IS taken over and returned free of charge. The accommodations are so perfect on the ships that the horses arrive there in such fine condition that they are permitted to land without quarantine. The Der artment of agriculture will fur nish any further information on appli- catlon in person through the mail.

Kentucky has $500 miles of turnpike controlled by private companies. Sev- eral month ago there began a move ment against these which developed into q general uprising. In mobs of forty to one hundred, armed with shot, guns and axes, citizens rode from town to town leaving trail of broken toll gates in their wake. Gate keepers were warned not to repair gates nor to collect more toll under penalty of being burned out. The gates detroyed re- presented ], 1,0O0 miles of turnpike, val ued at $4,O00,O0O. Public sentiment largely sustained the raiders. The cost of six-tenths of the toll-roads in their construction was born by the state ol h- the county through which the road reIs.

The arid regions and the silver re- gions are synonymous terms. The pros. Derity of the silver industry means the prosperity of the arid region. The re- clamation of the arid region to agricul. ture means prosperity. The successful development of the silver industry and those arid sections ofour country where there is perpetual sunshine and seed time and harvest, means a prosperity and wealth development unparalleled by any wealth producing section of the country. Such region is Arizona, but in addition to this we have the gold, the copper, the cattle, and a score of other sources of wealth, all of which will sooner or later be placed under contribution to labor and capital pru- dently invested.-Star.

The-third of the states have up to the present appointed commissioners to deal with the subject of uniformity in state legislation, as is shown by the report of the American Bar association The adhesion ofCalifornia to the moves ment during the year has raised the number of states embarked in it to thirty, and Arizona among the terri tories has also joined Tn the effort to promote uniformity in state laws where possible, The first fruit of the work of the conference of commissions IS seen in the enactment of negotiable instruments act by the legislatures of New York, Connecticut, Colorado and Florada. The same act passed one branch of the legislature in several states, but failed in the other branch, chiefly, as it appears, because of the lack of sufficient time for the cousider- ation of a measure so important. The passage of the measure in New York state must be regarded as a great stsp in advance by reason of the influence which that state yields because Of its importance from % ocLulE.Iet and financial point of view. There is req son to hope that it's example will be very generally followed by the other states.

AS TO THE MORTGAGES.

Some of Hanna s subsidized newspa- pers are asserting that there has been large reduction in the number of farm mortgages in the Western states since the present administration came into power. Such may be the case, but they dare not state the way in which the re- ductions have been brought about. In the first place there have been few if any of these mortgages paid off even within the past few years. and the few that have been pad will be found to come from states where the majority of the people voted for Bryan and were counted for Hanna's mortgaged man. Hanna had the list of men who were to hold the election in all of the close and doubtful states. In very many in- stances the men who held the election had a mortgage held over thelr farms. All that Hanna wanted was to know the man thus encountered and that he would trade. The sequel tells the story But there are other ways in which the number of these mortgages have been reduced, first by foreclosure, and second by the disheartened farmer abandoning his farm and freeing himself from the heavy burden imposed by the mortgage, gathers up his family and seeks a home in the Southern states. where a genial climate, g fertile soil and hospitable welcome awaits hlm All the great raul way systems .L the soath-the South
