The retiring chief executive Of the
State neglected to make provisions to
assemble the presidential electors Of
the State, 60 through the formality Of
the law, and issue the electors their
commissions, besides providing for a
messenger to carry the returns to the
national capitol as provided by the
federal statutes. For failure to com
ply with the law there is a fine of
81, 900. The incoming. governor dis
covered the omission of his very busy
predecessor and at once made provis-
ions for the assembling of the electors
and issued to them their commissions
last Monday. The merger governor
was so busy getting mad at the close
of his administration and praying for
senatorial lightning to strike him that
he overlooked such small matter as
seeing that the States electoral vote
was duly counted.

Tardy sentiment looking to the pres.
ervation of our forests is crystalizing
all over the country. The next few
generations will be wiser in this re-
spect than those that have gone be-
fore. We get out on Arbor Day and
go crazy over some sapling planted
more for sentiment than anything else
and then let the thieves and ''skin-
ners" rob future generations of their
heritage.

AS Eddy Looks at 1t.

The president of the Rural Free De-
livery Carriers association has been
ANONYMOUSLY fired because he left
his route in charge of his assistant
and went to Washington on political
mission.
We are perhaps the most thick
headed man that ever occupied a pub
lie position. We can't see why it is
worse for a rural carrier drawing $50
a month to leave his route in charge
of an assistant and play politics than
it is for the secretary of the treasury
drawing $1,000 a year to leave his
Office in charge of an assistant and
play politics.
