STATE TREASURY ADVANCES.

An incident Of the closing week of
the preliminary canvas forthe nomi-
nation for governor is likely to do
good in correcting "A loose practice
of long standing. For twenty years
past or more it has been customary
for the supreme and circuit court
iudpes TO draw their salaries quar-
terly in advance and also for other
state officers and employees to secure
advances from the state treasury on
their monthly salaries. THIS is "a
violation of law, but like too many
unlawful practices, has become so
much a custom AS to be considered
by those engaged in it as legitimate.
1t is now brought forcibly to public
notice by the zeal Of partizans OF the
contcnding candidates for the gov
ernorship. First, Scofield's adher-
ents limited that state employees who
were active for LaFollette were
drawing money from the state treas
ury to pay their expenses; then came
LaFollctte's friends with denlals ana
counter implications that the zeal OF
state employees forthe governors re-
nomination was stimulated by favors
from the state treasury which they
expect will be continued If Scotleld
is rcnomiuated aud they hold their
present Jobs
So far rs learned, there is no toun-
dalton for the imputations on either
side, except that friends of both
gubcrnatprial aspirants have iol-
lowed tho ong-estahlished custom
Of getting advances from the treas
ury when the law does not sanction.
1t is not apparent that the state has
suffered any loss from the practice
except in cases whore judges have
died who have drawn their salaries
in advance. This happened in the
case OF the late judge Newman. As
usual, he drew three months salary
($l250) about January LIST, 1928, Within
month thor after he died, when
less rhanu third Of that $3.50 had
been cpruyd \ successor was APP
pointed before that three months
elapsed and the state really paid
two salaries for u considerable part
of the quarter. Attention was called
to the fac, at the time in these col
umns, to show the evil OF the custom
OF paying salaries in advance. Gov
ornot Scotiald must have known it,
and many of the editors and other
persons who have had much 10 say
within the last week in condemna-
ton of advance payments, would
have been credited with more per-
spicacity and sincerity had they dis
covered the pernicious practice and
demanded IT'S discoutiuuance. a
quarter of a century ago. No one
who has been about the state capitol
rs state officer or employee during
any administration for the past
twenty years could escape knowing
that advances ON saiHric, we're COM

Of his congregation took advantage of
the occasion and dropped in on the
minister in a very informal manner,
and he was greatly surprised when he
found his entire house filled with his
friends and parishioners. A very
pleasant evening was spent in games
and conversation. At 10 o'clock de-
lightful refreshments were served by
the visitors.
After supper Rev. Dornfeldts son
amused the party with several musical
selections. Late in the evening the
happy company broke up,kwishing the
minister forty more happy birthday
anniversaries.

Fish That Walk.

Tt may seem absurd to speak Of fish
as walking. The flying fish is well
known, but its flight looks much like
swimming in the air. We naturally
think of fishes as living always in the
water, as being incapable, in fact, of
living anywhere else. But nature main
tains no hard and fast lines of dis
tinction between animal life which be-
longs to the land and that which be-
longs to the water. If we can believe
the accounts of naturalists, there are
fishes that traverse dry land. 1t is
reported that DR.. Francis Day, says
the London Mail of India, has collected
several instances of the migration of
fishes by land from one piece Of water
to another "A party of British officers
were upon one occasion encamped in
certain part of India, when their at
tention was attracted by a rustling
sound in the grass and leaves. Inves-
tigatioL showed it to be caused by my
RAIDS of little fishes that were MAX
ing for one direction and were moving
slowly on. There were hundreds OF
them moving by using their sides and
small fins as feet; now upright, now
falling down, squirming, bending, roll
ing over, regaining their finny feet
and again pressing on. These fishes
were the famous climbing perch, about
which so much has been said and writ
ten, and they were passing over the
country to avoid a drought. When the
stream in which they have been spend
ing the season uries up, they scale the
banks, and, directed by some marvel
Gus instinct, crawl to another.

plants which Give Light.

There are number of plants and
flowers which give out a phosphores-
cent light in the dark. Linnaeus first
noticed this phenomenon in the COM
mon nasturtium, whose flowers seemed
to him to have a faint iridescence at
night. Later observations by others
showed that the light was stronger aft
er very sunny days. Among other
plants which possess this singular
property are the marsh lily and the
fraxinella. The last named secretes
volatile oil which oozes out during hot
weather, spreads in thin layer over
the flowers, and forms vapor which
becomes luminous in the darkness. In
the coal mines near Dresden grows a
species of fungus which exhibits the
appearance of luminous festoons of
shifting colors."

from their steel and copper implements

modes of sculpture, they appear to be
akin to the ancient Mexican people.

Name Given to the Daughter OF Rich
Amsterdam Furrier.
On her latest trip from Amsterdam
to New York the ocean liner Werken-
dam had for steerage passenger a
young woman whose air, manner and
speech clearly showed that she would
have been entirely at home among the
saloon passengers. This was Miss
Marie Lowenthal, and she travelled
among the poor with the sole object
of having a greater opportunity to
cheer and help them during the voyage
across the Atlantic. On the trip she
earned the title queen Of the steer
age" and as she stepped ashore she
was followed by hearty EXPLANATIONS
of God bless your Hers was con-
spicuouS figure as she stood among
the crowd of steerage passengers, most
of whom had the round contented faces
which one associates with Dutch peo-
pie. Young and beautiful, she wore
costly furs over gown of silk. She
comes to this country on business Tor
her father, who is one of the richest
furriers in Amsterdam. His confidence
in his daughters business judgment IS
shown by the fact that he trusts to her
care the conclusion of heavy deal
in which she is interested. Though
steerage passenger, she dressed IN
style showing that her modiste IS
thoroughly up to date. Captain DE
Vries gazed adniringly after Miss Low
enthal as she calmly walked ashore,
unmindful of the establishment caused
by her appearance among the poor I'M
migrants. "She is the angel OF the
steerage," he said. "Of course, she
does not have to travel that way, but
she prefers to do it, partly because she
wished to save money, and partly to De
among the poorer folk, whom it is her
delight to serve. Stingy? Not bit
of it, Miss Marie Lowenthal is one
of the most generous women alive. 1t
is her delight to give to others, TO
relieve distress. She has a large al
lowance, but spends most of 1t IN
helping the poor She spends her life
among them and is looked upon as a
sort of guardian angel by the poor OF
her native city. One of her fads is to
travel as cheaply as possible in order
to save money for philanthropic work.
That is why she has come over in the
steerage She has crossed the ocean
several times that way, and II you
could see all she does for the poor,
frightened emigrants you would not
wonder that they call her the anger
of the steerage."

Against Capt. Lowering.
Fort Sheridan is again excited over
the arrest of one of the witnesses who
testified against Capt. Leonard A.
Lowering in the Private Hammond
case.
The man under arrest is Corporal
John T. Ward. He is accused of hav-
ing allowed three prisoners to assem-
semble and converse in the main
guardroom.
On this trivial charge Corporal Ward
was placed under arrest yesterday
afternoon. He was deprived of his
belt and gun, and allowed his freedom
on honor. He must appear before the
summary court at its next meeting. 1t
is believed he will be reduced to the
rank of private.
The complainant. against Ward is
Lieut.. Brooke, son of Gen. Brooke,
commander of the Department of the
Missouri.
This is the third time trouble has
come to a witness against Capt. Lover
ing. Corporal Clarence New was de-
prived OF his stripes and Private
Charles Waddell left the fort last week
