The outcome of the contest in the
Illinois republican convention for
nomination of governor has resulted
very happily in the selection of states
attorney Deneen Of Chicago, the anti
ring candidate. He has made sue
cessful official and will make a good
governor. There is no bitterness felt
after the long continued balloting and
the triumph of both the state and the
national tickets in Illinois is assured.
We wish that affairs in Wisconsin
might take similar turn.

which interfere with the working Of
their lines, where the owners will not
permit the trees to be trimmed, says an

their growth is checked at once and the
trees die in two or three years. If,
your shade trees which interfere with a

conclude that science has been at
work on them.

The position of engineer on one of

Preston Republican,: Unlike the
Times editor, Mr.. Gray is too much of
man to betray his friends and sup
ports Judge Collins because he knows
him to be the best man. When it comes
to dirty politics, Sam Langum is few
jumps ahead of us and we frankly ad-
nit our inability to catch up with him.
AS political trickster, Langum holds
the medal. The people Of the county
we'll know how, on various occasions,
he has deserted his best friends that he
might secure place at the public crib

Brooklyn Eagle: Mr.. Rockefeller
cannot spend even the interest on his
money. Mr.. Carnegie cannot give
away money as fast as it comes in.
Of their millions what profit have they?
Three meals daily, clothes enough, a
roof that the rain does not come
through, the attendance of twenty ser
wants doing what one does better, fire
to keep warm with and the protection
of the same laws that the hod carrier
enjoys. Money invents no pleasures,
lack of it seldom debars man from
learning, or from the wise employment
of his mind. 1t is overestimated in its
effect on progress and content. Mean
while, has anybody any of it that he
does not care to use? II so-
Benson Monitor: 1t is so natural to
be dissatisfied. However we'll people
may do, almost nvariably they think
they should do better. It is certain
that many farmers in this locality are
not patronizing the local creamery. In
the older and weather. counties of the
state, the farmer who is not a creamery
patron is an exception. So universal
is the support of the industry in some
localities that men who do not patro
nize creamery are looked upon az
being shiftless. This is the condition
that exists where land is worth from
$50 to $500 an acre. Dairying ane
stock-raising is what makes high pricet
land pay, and yet some of those wht
till the $50 and $40 land in Swift court,
assert that they cannot afford to keel
cows, patronize a creamery and rails

The city council met in regular ses
fee. with Councilman Tannehill in
the chair and all members present.
The following resolutions of respect
were adopted in memory of the late
Mayor Lea and were ordered spread
on the records.
Note and Resolution cf Respect.
AT all times to lose by death,
personal friend or near associate is
a personal grief, an occurrence that
no man cares to confront or chroni-
Gle, but to note the departure of one
in whom community or common
wealth has an interest and claim,
one who has builded for the better
ment of all, is even more than
personal grief; and so it is with us
who represent this city, communl-
ty in which this one resided, the
friend of all and it's leading citizen
At his departure we can but silently
bow our heads in grief and exclaim
with another that into our hearts
hath crept a sorrow holier than
death and add Thy Will be Done. y
Therefore, We, his associates in
municipal affairs, do offer and place
upon the permanent record of the
CITY of Roswell, this note and resOlu-
tiOn Of reSnect to the memory OF
Hon. Joseph C. Lea, mayor OF Ros-
well. who at noon on the 4th day of
February, 1904, fell asleep and took
his departure into that 'undiscover-
ed country" from which no man hath
returned yet while he sleeps he still
lives in the hearts and recOllections
of all of us, and we resolve that in
consideration of his character, his
integrity, his friendliness, his ability
and his labor and our loss and love
that we spread this recognition OF
all of them, upon the permanent rec
ord of the city of Roswell, which city
he loved so we'll and for which he
had done so much.
Be it Further Resolved. That cop
les of this resolution be transmitted
one to the wife and one to the
daughter and son, and that sepa-
rate page of the record be set apart
upon which this same shall be in
scribed''
