The State live stock sanitary board
will urge the legislature to make a
sufficient appropriation to enable the
board to pay all farmers for cattle
condemned by the board because of
tuberculosis. Because of faulty pro-
vision in the old law the board has
no power to pay for cattle thus con-
demned, and if it did have there
would be no money in the revenue
fund of the State to make the pay
ments. 1t is to be hoped that the
legislature will come to the rescue of
the farmers who have to make sacri-
fees for the sake of the health of the
State. They should have every cent
coming to them. ..a :....:

The National Live Stock associa-
ton in it's annual meeting at Denver
was case of too much railroads and
live stock commission merchants, and
when the constitution and bylaws
were so amended as to make railroad
representatives, commission merchants
and even packers eligible to member
ship the cattle men withdrew, and
threatened to organize an association
by themselves. The railroads were
finally ruled out, while the packers
finally made their butt-in stick. 1t
looks like the old association had
surrendered to the corporations, and
the stock-growers will now pour wine
for the pool.

STATE PRIlLaRY REFORMS.

Under the above caption the Pioneer
Press discusses the numerous primary
bills that have already been intro
duced in the legislature. The Pioneer
Press does not favor the extension OF
the direct primary system to the Sc
lection of candidates for State offices.
It advocates the selection of delegates
to State conventions at primary cleo
ton held under the supervision OF the
regularly constituted election author
tiles, and the adjustment of county
conventions. But the question arises
who would choose the delegates to be
voted for in each of the counties?
There is the insurmountable difficulty
in the scheme suggested by the Pho
neer Press.

Mail Box on Wheels.

Residents of the rural districts, and
especially those whose homes are sit.
uated some distance back from the
public highway, are interested in a
new device for handling mail, which
E. W. Harvey, who resides on rural
route No. l, running out of Minooka,
ILL.,, has invented
Mr.. Harvey's residence stands
about a quarter of mile from the
road. Two wires extend from it to
the mail box, which is on the road,
and the whole thing is so constructed
that by turning a wheel on the porch
of the house the mail box, to which
pu1leys are attached, rolls smoothly
over the wire from the road to the
house. Mr.. Harvey said he built it
only to save members of his family
the trouble of walking the distance to
the road when the mail was placed in
the box.

Hon. S. A. Langum, secretary of
the State senate, writes interesting
letters to his paper, the Preston
Times. Mr.. Langum, in common with
scores of thousands of Republicans
throughout the State, has no love for
that bombastic political traitor and
Migrate Samuel r. Van SAINT. In a
recent letter Mr.. Langum writes:
YES, Van SAINT got into the sena-
torial race, or thought he did, just in
time to get the swelling in his head
reduced and it is to be hoped that he
is wiser man, even though he still
continues to he mad-''madder than
he has been since the civil war; an
expression which has given him a
ridiculous fame which is liable to
stick to him the balance of his days.
My experience with Van SAINT six
years ago opened my eyes to the utter
insincerity of the man and how his
word was by no means as good as his
bond. I have never changed my
mind. I have always believed that
under pretense of being for the people
he has really been for Van, I believe
so still, and what is better, I have
lived to see the day when almost all
who have come in contact With him
and observed his antics at close range,
have come to the same conclusion. It
was not to save the people, so much
as to perpetuate the official life of Van
SAINT that he got mad and entered a
race to the "bitter end,'' in which he
had no more show of winning than 1
had. He did not have vote in his
own district, not even vote in his
own county, and only one vote in the
entire State. It was pitiable sight
to see him on the floor of the Mer-
chants hotel urging Republicans,
NOT to attend a Republican caucus,
regularly called and he himself twice
favored by his party with the highest
office within it's gift! Unfortunate is
the man who throws Judgment, dis
erection and gratitude to the wind in a
last desperate hope of furthering his
own personal ambition - i
