This story was told in the Senate
cloak-rooms apropos of the speech of
Senator Patterson, supposed to be a
Democrat. in which he eulogized all
of President Roosevel:'s policies: A
local census enumerator visited the
senator's home In Denver, and was
received by the negro butler. After
the usual questions, he asked:
What is the senator's politics?" "Fo'
de Lawd's sake, mister, dunno"
answered the darkey; "de senator

Ex-senator Billy Mason, of Chicago,

Does Sllp-Shod Farming Pay?

It Is sometimes asked, in a spirit of levity, most likely. Does slip-shod farming pay?" and the universal answer is that 1t does not. Yet. strange as it may seem, the system which, IS so uniformity condemn ed, is the one that is most com monly practiced. Out of the more than two thousand farms
 in Drew County, there are not a dozen of them that IS operated upon a scientific basis. The general appearance of most farms iu this County would in- dicate to the passer-by that the owners were camping, for a

No More Appointments

The supreme court handed down a decision yesterday that will bf far reaching i'll it's effects. In October, I9o4, Governor Davis ap pointed k. R, Rice circuit clerk of Lincoln county, to fill the vacancy caused by the death Of B. X. Neroney who had been elected at the September election, but whc had not qualified before his death. H. D. Palmer the clerk who would have retired at the be. ginning of Meroney's term, de clined to turn inc office over to Rice, contending that amendment No. }, which gave the Governor the right to fill vacancies by ap- pointment. Was not actually adopt ed. Litigation followed and the Lincoln circuit court, Judge A. B. Grace, sustained the contention of Palmer who has continued to hold the office.
 The supreme court holds with Judge Grace that the amendment was not adopted It appears that the amendment received majority of ell the votes cast on that partie ular question but not a majority of all the votes cast at that general election. The opinion of the sup reme court was delivered ty Chief
 Justice Hill, Battle, Wood con. curing, Justice McCulloch and Riddick dissenting The court held in effect that the language of the constitution is very clear on this point, that all amendments must receive d majority of all the votes cast at the general election at which they may be submitted to the people and not merely q ma jority of the votes cast on that particular question. Therefore amendment No. } was not adopt ed.
 Hundreds of appointments have been made under this law and no end of legal complications are ex. pected to grow out of the new con dition Hereafter official vacancies that occur six months prior to the general election must be filled by special election. Fifty per cent of the governor patronage Is thus taken from him.
 Two other amendments, one of which permits the levy of three mill tax for road improvements and the other requiring all voters to possess poll-tax receipt, were adopted on a mere majority of votes cast on these particular ques. tions. and 1t follows of course that they are invalid.
 II Is contended that the roadtax amendment actually received q ma jority of all the votes cast at the general election al which it was
