essary to put an end to the abuse.
Untiinching enforcement is just what
the Chicago court has shown us and il
every other court before which a case
of similar nature may come shall fol-
low the excellent example set for it,
rebates either given OF taken will soon
become things of the past"
The opinion has for some time been
gaining ground among business men
that the extinction Of such abuses and
their prevention for the future is all
that is really essential in the railroad
rate question so much discussed for
the past two years. These business
men have manifested this conviction
by the course which they have pur-
sued in several trade conventions
lately held in various parts OF the
country, where resolutions condeming
rebates, determinations and illegal
preferences have been unanimously
passed, but no further recommended
tons concerning the ACCESSIBILITY OF
legislation in regard to railroad rate
making have received the official sane
ton of the conventions. The general
impression plainly is that if the
abuses already made illegal by acts of
congress are stamped out, the other
problems of rate making can be read
lily and satisfactorily adjusted between
shippers and railroad traffic managers.

Popular Cartoons

The art of newspaper illustration in
its present form is a development OF
recent years. Newspaper cartoons
have become a most popular feature
of up-to-date metropolitan dailypapers.
The unique and catchy drawing now
appearing daily on the front page OF
the Chicago Record Herald is one OF
the many special features OF the great
paper. The Record-He Herald has been
fortunate in securing n OF the best
young artists in the country to carry
out its popular policy of presenting
each day a humorous and good natured
cartoon. Mr.. Ralph Wild is one OF
the coming men in newspaper work.
His success has been as pronounced
as it has been rapid. He shows all OF
the good-natured humor and the
brighter side of everyday common life
which has carried his work to a very
popular success. His drawings are on
all of the various subjects OF popular
interest, political and otherwise.
Current events are wildly portrayed
in a way that pleases yet often giving
Just criticism in a way that does not
offend. Through his excellent work on
eastern magazines Mr.. Wild first at
tracted universal attention. The Re-
cord Herald recognized him at once as
a cartoonist OF unusual promise, and
congratulates its readers on having
been fortunate enough to engage him.

Let Us Have More Enforcement

Four Chicago packers were fined by
a Chicago court recently, one of them
$1,000 and the other three $4,000, hav-
ing pleaded guilty to the charge of re-
ceiving rebates from the railroads in
violation of law. This case will con-
vince all other persons known or not
known to be guilty of similar wrong
doing that swift punishment will be
meted out to them and that they can
not hope to escape because of their
wealth. influence or business position.
1t has always been contended by those
familiar with traffic matters that there
was plenty OF law already enacted fOrthe
adjustment of rebates; and untiinch-
ing enforcement was all that was nee

According to the figures compiled
by Doane Robinson, superintendent
of the state census, Bookings county
has a population of 14,019. This is
an increase Of 1,45S in five years.
This is seemingly not a very large
growth, but in comparison with the
majority of the counties of the state it
shows up very we'll. The gain in the
state is 1854, which will average
about 1000 to the county, so it will be
seen that Brookings is holding its
own.
