The Midway News says that if the
country editor inclines to be suspi-
cious of public men. then he is pro-
nounced a crank. If he is not at all
suspicious, but accepts all their state
ments in good faith. then he is char
acterized an easy mark. No matter
how deep student he may be or how
consistently he may adhere to uncon-
tradictable facts and logic, if he ac-
cepts remuneration for his labors,
even to the mere humble extent of a
meager existence, then he is CRATER
but if he declines to get the best OF it
when the opportunity presents itself,
even at the sacrifice of his own con-
science, then he is fool. The wiser
conclusion is that the country editor
who would please everybody is an
ass -

1t is understood that the treasury
officials are considering the advisa.
bility of cutting down the size of the
paper money issued by the govern
ment, not the size Of the paper itself.
The suggestion that this be done is the
result of the recent issue of paper
money intended for circulation in the
Philippines. The new notes, which
are most attractive in design, are
from 90 to 200 pesos each in value.
and are six inches long by two and a
half in width. The ordinary dollar
bill is seven inches in length and
three in width-that is, with a sur
face area about one-third greater than
the Philippine notes.

the relief work find the need of relief
has passed except in such cases as can
be taken care of by the regular
charity organizations. The establish
ment of two million dollar hospital
or the turning of the money over to
regular charity organizations has
been suggested. AS the wishes of the
donors of the relief funds may have TO
be consulted, no decision has been ar
rived at by the relief committee.

township showed us the greatest
curiosity in the way of marking the
ballot yet seen. One of the voters
very laboriously and carefully marked
every square on the big ticket, treat
ing the squares opposite the blanks as
as those that had the
names of candidates opposite to them.
He had heard that on account of the
absence of the circle, to vote straight,
you had to mark every square on your
ticket, and he did so, and they say it
took him nearly an hour and a
half. .-Allamakee Journal.

"Ask the mother who holds in her
arms her boy, what her idea is con-
cerning him and she will tell you
that she desires that his heart may be
so pure that it could be laid upon a
pillow and leave no stain; that his
ambition may be so holy that it could
be whispered in an angels ear; and
that his life may be so clean that his
mother, his sister, his wife his child
could read record of its every
thought and act without blush.
But ask her if she will require this
perfection in her son before she
showers her love upon him. and she
will say "No." She will tell you
that she will follow his footsteps with
a daily prayer that in whatever land
he wanders, her blessing will abide
with him; and that when he dies
she'll hope, yet hope that the world
will be better that he lived. This is all
she can do. All that any of us can
do for ourselves or for others Is the
best that opportunity and circum-
stances will permit. wv. J. Bryan.

The supreme court of the United
States is to be asked to pass upon the
question whether a railroad company
can issue TRANSFORMATION in exchange
for advertising in newspapers. A
test case is to be made in Illinois, or
rather an opportunity be given to the
Interstate commerce commission to
have the courts pass upon their ruling
that nothing but money can be law
fully received or accepted in payment
for transportation. Shortly after the
new rate law went into effect the
question arose as to whether rail
road could continue to issue trans
portation for newspaper advertising.
It came before the commission and
that body decided that under the law
only money could be accepted. The
Justice of this ruling was not seen by
the legal department of the Monon
railroad, George Kretzinger, the
general counsel, and E. @. Field, the
general solicitor. The law, they said,
nowhere in terms provides that pay
ment for transportation shall be in
money, and it must therefore follow
that the freedom of contract as be-
tween a railroad and an Individual is
precisely the same as between other
citizens. If this be true, they went
ON to say, it is difficult to understand
when one does service for railway
corporation under contract made in
good faith and or an agreed considera.
tion admittedly fair, that the parties
may not naturally stipulate for the
payment in anything but money. Tc
hold otherwise. they urged, is to deny
the freedom of contract to particular
class which is everywhere extended
to every other class. The rule, as
universally stated and upheld by the
court, is "what the parties agree
shall constitute the payment the
law will adjudge to be payment. II
is competent for parties to designate
by their contracts how and in what
payment may be made. 1t is by nc
means true that payment can only be
made in money 4: ON the contrary, il
may be made in property or in SER
vices.

One of the noticeable things con-
nected with the late election is the
fact as reported by the Dubuque
Times-Journal and other papers, that
the abolition of the circle at the head
of the ticket caused large dropping
off of votes for candidates for state
offices other than that of governor.
1t appears that after voting for gov
ernor the voter would skip the first of
the ticket till he came to county
offices, when he resumed the sign Of
the cross and voted the rest of the
ticket. 1t is said that in Massa-
chusetts where the circle has been
removed from the head of the ticket
for several years, the nominees at the
top receive twenty-five per cent more
votes than those at the botto m. There
will doubtless be an attempt made at
the next general assembly to replace
the circle on the ticket here i'm Iowa,
and it will likely be assful. OF
course Winneshiek voting
machines did not s. Derience
of those counties the old
method of voting OBJ
