 From reports received it is safe to conclude that the loss from blackleg in all herds where this vaccine has been used will fall below 1 per cent, al though it is the general impression that the past year has been what is known as a bad blackleg year throughout the entire country. It Is gathered from information received from all states and territories that without vaccination the loss from blackleg would have been greatly in excess of that which is generally ex- perienced."
 The bureau has already succeeded in reducing the death rate from blackleg by more than 30 per cent, taking the country over. and the treatment has received the strong endorsement of cat tlemen everywhere, among them sev- eral of the stockmen of Arizona.

The salaries paid to state and terri torial officials cover a wide range, and contrary to the general belief, Arizona is not at the foot of the list. In this territory Uncle Sam pays the governor $3,OOO a year, and the secretary of the territory S1.SOO The same salaries are paid in Oklahoma and New Mexico. New York leads all the states in high salaries. the governor of the Empire state receiving s1O,OOO year. In addi- tion to that he has an executive man. sion fully manned and furnished, in which to live.
 Vermont pays her governor only s1,- 800 a year, her secretary of state, treas urer and auditor $1,7OO a year, her leg islators $3 per diem, and other officers in like proportion. Oregon pays her governor but $1,5OO. Kansas is to vote this fall on constitutional amendment increasing the pay of her legislators from s3 to s a day.

A Valuable Department

When that brilliant Nebraskan, the late J. Sterling Morton. was secretary of agriculture in the last Cleveland cab inet, his honesty and peculiar dislike of all forms of "paternalism" led him frequently to speak in derision of the department over which he presided. He considered the department of agricul- ture as a needless cog in the machine of government, and he attempted to do little more than see that his subordi- mates conformed to his high ideals of fidelity to the duties plainly prescribed by law. He was not ambitious to eX- tend the scope of his authority, and did not trouble to look for new fields of work for his officials. Were he alive today, however, he could not withhold his commendation from the good re- suits achieved by Secretary Wilson. although the latter takes an entirely different view of the functions of the department.
 Secretary Wilson by his zeal in pro- tccting the interests of agriculture and horticulture and in disseminating in- formation of value has shown that the department of agriculture can be one of the most important departments in the government. His agents have gone all over the world in search of new forage plants for the arid region, and instead of looking upon the govern mi rnl ICfG ln-g htIcv doctors" as Cleveland called them when he first took office, he has taken such an interest in finding remedies against fruit pests and in introducing from abroad such insects as are known to be extermna tors of these pests that the horticulturists of the whole cOun- try and of the Pacific coast especially. have reason to be thankful that MT. Wilson does take the "paternaT' view of his duties. Results count for every thing, and must shove aside all theo- ries.
 Perhaps the most important work performed by the department of agri- culture has been in aiding stockmen to stamp out disease. The activity of the department in this line is shown by the order issued few days ago detailing agents of the bureau of animal industry to the field for the purpose of distrib- uting the departments vaccine treat ment for blackleg in cattle. and super intending it's use. Lately, the reports from many sections of the west have indicated that blackleg is prevalent over an immense area. It is only by the vigilant work of federal officials that the disease can be stamped out. We have noticed no reports of the dis ease in Arizona. but it is epidemic in many of the western states The de- partment experts say that too much to eat and too little exercise" are the principal causes. Infection generally takes place from abrasions and con- tact with wire fences. Recovery is ex- ceedingly rare. It cannot be cured easily, but can be prevented from spreading among other cattle by inocu- lation. and the vaccine prepared by the department does the business Last year the doses distributed aggregated

Mrs. Kelley asserted that this decline in literacy is due directly to the heavy iCrease in the number of children em-
 ployed in factories an the failure of the state to enforce the child labor and compulsory education laws.
 Reports of factory inspectors show that Illinois has the largest number of children at work of any state in the
 union. It has 5000 more children under sixteen years than has New York. This. Mrs. Kelley believes, is due rot only to defective legislation, but to the shocking incompetency and indiffer- Cnce of the officials" who are responsi- ble for the enforcement of existing laws.
 The Post is not inclined to underesti- mate the importance of liberal educa tion. But the people of Illinois would
 have more reason to be proud of their great universities, their colleges and other institutions for advanced stud Cnts if they were less neGlectful Of the children of the epoor.-Washington Post.

Arizona. Terrible Condition

Some allusion has been made in these columns heretofore to the efforts of
 Socialist Richardson of Colorado to fire the heart of labor as he goes from camp to camp in the territory in behalf of Repudator Wilson and the democratic Independently the democratic ticket in Yavapai county. | Here is quotation from Richard sons paper, the Pueblo Courier" for
 which he solicits subscriptions as he
 journeys through the territory. For
 richness we are inclined to think it eX- | ceeds anything Wilson himself has ut tered. To appreciate it fully, readers should remember that the labor ele- ment" in Arizona is made up of work
 CTS in two great industries, railroading
 and mining. Outside of those indus tries the wage workers are on the farms, and in stores and offices. There is no child labor whatever-and never
 will be in Arizona, be it said. The rail- road men and the miners are receiving
 good and satisfactory wages, and there
 is not a difference anywhere between employer and employee. And what woman has been mistreated in the
 great stores of Phoenix, Prescott, Tue
 son, Tombstone Bisbee and Jerome? :? But here is the quotation and it is talk
 en from Richardson's paper of Friday, September F. 1902, and is clipped from
 the body of his letter headed Tn Ari-
 zona."
 Labor is up against it" at every
 turn in the road. Turn which way you
 will, my brother, and you are confront
 ed with the most serious problems. IL has come to pass that there is little or
 no law for the laborer. Laws which would operate in his favor are almost without exception either ''unconstitu- tiOnal'' or dead letters, while the laws
 which oppress him are all constitu- tional. sound as an oak plank, and op- erative to the last degree. We are now confronted with the organization of
 employers. Woman are deliberately told by human hyenas in the shape of employers to eke out their miserable wage by prostitution. Childhood is not  exempt from the commercial mill, and
 there seems to be no limit to the length that the greed for gold the mad scram-
 ble for wealth. will go. You fellows who talk about patching up the system are deluding yourselves with a false hope. Why elect legislatures to be bought up? Why strive for laws that will be dead letters? Why not strike at the root and kill the accursed sys- tenn, root and branch? Why not do away with the incentive for evil? Why continue a system which places bribe,
 a premium, on rascality, which makes the life of men and virtue of women
 an article of commercial value and barter. A system which teaches us that all success is based on the art Of | getting gold, system which produces criminals, paupers and lunatics. Why compromise with the devil? You are ! up against it. my brother and my sis

Child Labor in Illinois.

There is Tio surer test of states progress than it's educational statistics. A state can give no stronger proof Of retrogressiOn than an increase of illit- eracy among children between the ages of ten and fourteen years, due to the occupations in violation of law. Mrs. Florence Kelley. in an interview with William E. Curtis of the Chicago Rec ord-Herald presents what that paper editorially describes as "a strong in dictment of Illinois for it's lax and in different enforcement of the compulsory education and child-labor laws" The Record Herald thinks the extent to which the school and factory laws are being violated in Illinois and the dis astrous consequences already apparent. as shown by Mrs. Kelley. will be a rev. elatiOn to most citizens who have been led to believe that their state stands near the head uf the list in the matter of protecting wagc-carning children. In proof of the astonishing retrogres- sion. Mrs. Kelley calls attention to the fact that by the census of 1890 Illinois stood sixth in the list Of states in re- spect to the number of it's children be- tween ten and fourteen years of age who could read and write, but during the next ten years the number of illit- crates increased so rapidly that by the census of 1900 it stood No. 15.
 That is a crime for which the law affords no remedy and the responsi- bility for which can not be located During a period of unexampled pros perity, in which the state had been ac- cumula ting wealth at an unprecedented rate, this irreparahle wrong has been inflicted on thousands of children and through them, on coming generations
