If Mr.. Patten is reelected. as seems
probable, he will be the first treas
urer to be elected two successive terms

the governors vote two years ago,
and the exceptionally faithful atten-

the office should make him stilf

The treasurer had the best kind of

Office on an efficient business footing.

to receive this denomination and the
quality of the public service given by
Mr.. Patten is of value to the state.

development of agriculture during the

results which have been accomplished
by labor-saving agricultural machin-
cry. 1t also shows how a great in

able to make the best machines at a

Beveridge Lost Out.

The anti-Taft men drew first blood
the other day when the republican ma
tional committee selected Julius Caesar
Burrows as temporary chairman of the
republican national convention. Presi-
dent Roosevelt had set his heart upon
the appointment of Senator Beveridge
of Indiana for the job. 1t Is the duty
of the temporary chairman to strike
the keynote of the campaign in his
speech opening the convention, and
Roosevelt and Taft were expecting
this delightful and important duty
would devolve upon the stalwart
young orator from Indiana. But when
the national committee met, 10! and
behold, Mr.. Beveridge's name was
Dennis" He was distanced by the
Columbian" orator from Kalamazoo.
The result caused a gleeful chuckle
to be omitted by the opponents of Taft
and threw pail of gloom over the
meditations of President Roosevelt.
1t is bruited about that the commit
tee was afraid to trust Senator Bever
idge to deliver the keynote speech. Il
Is alleged that Chairman New of the
committee was painfully compelled t.
admit that the Indiana senator on oc
casions and without notice was liabl,
to be afflicted in similar manner t,
that which is alleged to have cause,
the lamentable failure of Senator JET
Davis to keep his appointment at tn,
recent Jeffersonian club banque
at the Auditorium hotel. In the even
of such catastrophe the keynote
would be lost, and the g. o. p. woul'
go wandering in a political slough o
despond.

The Cleveland strike.

Coming as it does just as Mayor Tom
Johnson reached the triumphant stage
of his battle for municipal control of
public utilities, that strike of street
car employees inf Cleveland. is indeed
unfortunate. 1t is unfortunate for the
Municipal company, for the city and
for the men.
1t will be interesting to watch the
great municipal general-Tom Johnson
handle this new difficulty. He has wag-
ed and won the most remarkable strug-
gle with corporate interests ever fought
in an American municipality. He fought
and won for the people. His dealings
have been in fairness to all and for the
best interests of the masses, and his
efforts toward settlement of this street
car strike will be for fairness to strik-
ers and to all concerned. Already an
increase of one cent per hour, free uni
forms and other concessions have been
held out to the strikers, but they de
mand more, and the Municipal com
pany, which is just inaugurating its
system of reduced fares and other ad
vantages to the public, asks only that
it be given reasonable cooperation oil
the men for fair test of the munich
pal ownership system
At this distance it is impossible to
| judge the merits of the case, but Ger
, tainly it is unfair to attempt to use
| this strike as discreditable to Tom
Johnson and his municipal ownership
successes. Leave 1t to him, and he will
not only bring success to the people
| where others would have been crushed
by corporate attack, but the street
railway employees will enjoy square

which Mayor Tom Johnson will moi
withhold from them.

LONG BUFFALO DRIVE.
Large Herd For Canada to Be Driven
Over Eighty Miles.


Over Eighty Miles.
The buffalo herd which is corralled
near Lamont, in Canada, has wintered
we'll, and since the roundup commenced
in Montana last year less than ~ per
cent have been lost.
Arrangements are being made to
bring up another 300 head. Michael
Pablo is getting them together on his
ranch in Montana. Pablo has built a
fence twenty-three miles long. from
the mountains to his home, and the
buffaloes are driven along the fence into
the corral Last year he had 1875 horses
weeks, but he found this too expensive
and has adopted the new plan for get
ting the remainder of the herd.
The 400 head brought to Canada last
year were shipped by freight trains.
but several were killed in loading and
unloading. and the feeding and water
ing were accomplished under difficult
ties. This year an attempt will be
made to drive the herd up from Mon
tana to Lamont, distance of more
than eighty miles. says Lamont cor
respondent of the New York Post. I'm
agine an eighty mile drive of 400 wild
buffaloes across land. 1t will be one
of the greatest undertakings in the
history of covpunching.
These buffaloes have been fed on hay
all winter. about seven tons being used
daily, but the mild winter made it pos
sible for them to forage FOR themselves.
+ Those in the preserve at Lamont are
in the best of condition. and at least a
| hundred calves are expected during the
| next few weeks. The government is
|! now calling for tenders for wire
| fence around the preserve which will
be more than seventy miles long and
will cost approximately $4,000.
The preserve is so arranged that for
eight miles the railroad runs along one
side of the park. giving passengers q
chance to see the herd. thus adding
another attraction to western Canada
This is now said to be the largest herd
| of buffaIoes in the world. With the ar.
rival of the other herd 1t will be dou.
bled, and before the end of the year
the herd will number close to a thou
sand. with a probable net increase OF
full % per cent annually.

The Call of the Car.

When the lilac trees are budding
And the roads are warm and dry,
Then / long to see the landscape
Like a ribbon Keeling by
And to hear the engine throbbing
With strong and steady beat.
With the wheel beneath my fingers
And the brake beneath my feet,
Gliding up the hills so rocky.
Sliding down the valleys long.
Humming DER the level places.
Drumming out n reckless song.
Scooting round the lonesome corners,
footing gayly on the horn.
Waking up the sleepy hamiets.
Making merry in the morn.
Oh. it's pleasant In hammock.
Swinging in a shady place.
And a joy to skim the pillows
With the spray upon your face.
But the maddest. merriest rapture
On this time worn earthly star
Is spin across the country
In speedy auto car.
