EditOr and Doctor.

II an editor makes a mistake he has
to apologize for it but il a doctor makes
one he buries it. If editor makes one,
there is lawsuit, swearing and the
smell of surphur, but if the doctor
makes one, there is a funeral, cut
flowers and the smell of varuish.
The doctor can use words a yard long
without knowing what it means, but if
the editor uses it he has to spell it.
If the doctor goeu to see another
mans wife he charges for the visit, but
if the editor goes to see another mans
wife he gets charge Of buckshot.
Any old medical college can make a
doctor. You can't make an editor, He
has to be born,
When doctor gets drunk it's a case
Of "oyercome by heat" and if he dies
it is heart trouble. When an editor
gets drunk it's case of too much booze
and if he dies it's a case of delirium

Silver City Gets Convention,

At meeting Of the territorial
central committee Of the Democratic
party in Santa Fe on Feb. II it was de-
cided to hold the territorial convention
in Silver City on April l3. An attempt
to ladorse William Randolph Hearst for
the presidency failed, but resolutions
were adopted thanking him for his
efforts to secure stutehyou for the
territories
A resolution fayoring joint statehood
for New Mexico and Arizona, since the
Republican party has made single state
hood impossible, was passed.
The representation at the territorial
convention was fixed at one delegate
for every 100 Democratic votes cast at
the last general election, no county to
have less than two votes. In the evening
a banquet was rendered the visiting
Democrats by the local Democracy at
the Hotel Normandie, The statehood
resolution adopted read as follows;
"Be it resolved, by the Democratic
territorial central committee in regular
session assembled, that, on tho all

the territories to statehood, and voice,

ent recognition as states TO which W,
believe they are entitled under the
constitution, and which they have WOE
by their loyal conduct as citizens o
this nation, in the absence, however, o.
that Individual recognition. We believe
that the ioinder of the territories o
New Mexico and Arizona into one statt
is not compatible with the welfare o
their people, but that it will conduce t,
greater strength and progress than the!

form Of government; and, 81 believing

PASTOR McKAIG RESIGNS.
Methodist Minister at Sioux City To
Enter Evangelistlc Field.

Special to Tlmes-hepublican.
Sioux City, Sept 12.-At the morn
ing service yesterday Rev. DR.. r. N.
McGaig, pastor of the First Methodist
Episcopal church, made the announce
ment to the congregation that he would
occupy the pulpit of that church but
two more Sundays. He said that at
the coming meeting at Sac City his
connection with the northwest Iowa
conference would end.
1t is DIR. McKaigs intention to enter
had years of experience. He feels
that in this work there is greater use
fulness for himself. He will continue
to make Sioux City his residence, for
the present at least, altho his work will
doubtless take him away from home
much of the time
DR.. McKaig has been pastor of the
First Methodist Episcopal church for
the past three years. Under this adj
ministration the church has greatly in
creased in membership. Since he
took charge there have been added 400
new members 14S Of whom We're young
people. He has always had great sue
cess in inducing young men and women
to become interested in church work.
DR.. McKaig came to Sioux City from
Minneapolis where he was pastor Of
the Simpson avenue Methodist Epis-
copal church. He had been a Metho-
dist pastor in Minneapolis for fifteen
years.

Stockers and Feeders.

Plenty of inquiry is reported and
every day of good corn weather inn
proves the prospect. Bulk of supply
has been of western origin, natives
having been held back owing to the
strike. Quite n few western steers
have gone to feed lots, but the thin
end of that run has been light and the
market has not been overburdened.
Choice heavy feeders, 1000 to 1900
pounds are scarce and quotable at
s4.75@5.00: good heavy 1000 to HOO
pounds $3.7O@4O0; medium. 900 to
1000 pounds, s3.25@3.5O; fair, same
weight, $2.75M3.oo; common, 1928 %
2.65. Choice stockers, 400 to 700
pounds, are on a $3.50@400 basis;
good, S3.25M3.35; medium, s2.S0M3.0O;
fair, S2500N2.75; common, 2.00m2.25.
An impression prevails in trade cir
cles that q large number of natives
have been held back pending settle
ment of the strike, and in anticipation
of favorable corn crop developments,
and that they will now be cut loose.
On the other hand there is an inn
preston that the low spot was struck
two weeks ago.

This order will be issued by the post

"AUTo" RIDES FOR DRINKS.
New York Magistrate Suggests a
Novel Plan,

New York, Sept. 12-Magistrate
Poole said that he would write letter
to Police Commissioner McAdoo sug-
costing that each police station house
be provided with an automobile for the
purpose of conveying intoxicated per-
sons to their homes, instead of taking
them to the station house and later
to the court.
The automobile need not cost very
much, for fare could be collected from
Ne friends of the passenger taken
home" said the court. "Any man
would prefer to pay automobile hire
rather than spend a night in cell
and then pay a fine in court the next
morning"
Magistrate Poole discharged six
drunken men With this comment:
"They were all arrested in the saloons
where they secured the liquor which
overcame them. What nonsense then,
for the saloonkeepers to come here and
make charges against them Clear out
of here all you saloonkeepers. 1 am
going to let these men go. If you
do not wish them to get drunk in your
place 1 can give you the solution -
don't sell them any drink"

TEACHERS WANT REGISTERS.
Thirty Thousand Apply For Book, But
There Are Only 10000 Copies.

ihefe Are only 1U,uUU copies.
Des Moines, Sept. 12.-Thirty thou
sand school teachers in Iowa want the
Iowa official register, and the secretary
of state has only 10000 at his disposal
that's the sort of a problem that faces
Secretary Martin just now He cannot
make the supply fill the demand.
Iowa teachers want the official regis
ter for use in their school work. The
book contains a vast amount of infor-
nation of value in school work of all
grades. 1t is complete in it's informa-
ton about the officiary of the state, it's
organization, it's divisions, and so on,
and it is better than any text book On
civil government in many respects be-
cause it is up to date. The state leg
islature recently passed law requiring
the distribution of 100 copies to each
county school superintendent, but this
number is entirely inadequate to meet
the demand upon the local superinten-
dents.
It is quite likely that an effort will
be made at the next session of the leg
islature to secure provision for a larger
distribution of the registers.

e. "A, Princes Grain Letter.

Chicago, Sept. 12.-Wheat - There
was renewal Of the bullish feeling,
resulting in advances of to 4 cents,
with a stiff demand for May wheat,
which put the price across LA. The
market was large and excited. The
government report was intensely bull
lish as it forecasts the smallest crop
Of wheat raised in decade. In addi-
tional Winnipeg reported heavy frost
all over the country with much dam
age; also threshing returns coming
poor. Rain in the north interferred
with farm work from Fargo to the
boundary. Primary receipts were $780,
900 less than last year and the trade
was notified of larger flour sales.
Corn - This market was somewhat
heavy, owing mainly to the govern
ment report and continued heavy re-
ceipts which, contrary to wheat, con-
tinue to equal last year. The heavy
total of Ills cars here was a blow to
the longs. The market was firm later
on, with strong boost in wheat. Pat
ten was a fair seller early.
Oats-The market ruled about half a
cent lower early on selling by the
Bartlett crowd and Armour. Offerings
were we'll absorbed, however, and loss
es We're recovered as a result of SYM
pathy with wheat.
