State Treasurer Cassill, who is a
member Of Governor Crawford's
administration, is now pledged to not
take any more interest on the state
funds which happen to be in his
possession. How does that sound for
an administration that went luto
office on the strength of reform?
Since the attention of the voters has
been called to the fact that Mr..
Casill has been taking the. interest
on the state funds, and which
amounts to about 500. 600 a year
since the insurgents have been Driven
to the wall in an effort to ward of
an opposing public opinion on the
graft-they have come out with a
statement that hereafter Mr.. Ca,sill
will take no more of the states
money and that he will turn 1t back
into the treasury where it belongs.
That sounds good, doesn't it,
coming from reform administration.
1t will be necessary to get out the
white wash brush again for another
leading member Of the insuruent
faction. It's getting expensive and
tiresome to apply tile brush so often.
II Mr.. Cassill means what is said
for him by the machine leade S of
the insurgents, why doesn't he go
them one or two better by telling
the people Of the state that mas
much al they will not stand for his
conduct any longer that he will
restore to the state the money that
he has already taken in the way of
interest. That will show a truly
contrite heart and a disposition to
do the right thing With the peoples
money. 1t is not at all likely that
Mr.. Cassill will make any such a
concession as that.

friends. MI. lnsurgent Senator
Gamble, who was fumigated by the
1907 legislature before being re-
elected to the United States senate,
addressed some letters to the state
legislature in 1905 OH tile primary
petition. and we publish one below
just to Indicate what the senator
thinks Of this law:
have felt that party management,
both at caucuses and conventions,
has been fair and just, generally
there is no demand for the proposed
legislation except for a few api-
tatois who are looking more to
the disorganization than to the
better interests OF the Republican
party, \ y The Proposition was
directly considered by the last
Republican state convention aud its
membership opposed it. 1t was
engraited as a plank in the Demo-
cratic state platform. II certainly
cannot be construed as a Republican
measure. So far it is largely an
experiment. and If it ever is to be
auepleo IN state | think sufficient
time should elapse that its wisdom
would be justified by the experience
OF other states where it is in vogue.
There is what the senator thinks
OF the primary law, and it is accent.
nated by the statement of a. y.
Ringsrud, Of Elk Point, one of the
machine leaders OF the f c. y. who
announced in February ill.,. the
primary al" would be dis1egarded nv
the lnsurgent faction for The March
primary, and this line OF action was
followed to a great extent. For the
alleged opposition by Senator Kit
tredge he must be defeated for the
senate, 1T wonld lie q coed idea for
the insurgents to clean up before
thelF own, door step before making
charges against some one else.

THE BOY AND THE DIALECT.

Bobby undertook to write on his
fathers typewriter despite the oft-re-
peated command of the latter to the
contrary. Just as the sheet was GOV
cred with letters, figures and p%unctua-
ton marks his father hove into sight,
and the boy deplored his disobedience.
Father" said Bobby, "you need
ask no questions, I can tell a lie, and
I have at divers times told some bad
ones. But my heart tells me that to
lie in the face Of the evidence you
have before you would be childish,
futile and powerless. 1 have been
writing on your machine, and here is
my composition"
With this the boy handed the sheet
of paper to his father, who glanced at
it and read the following:

trembling with emotion.
"Yes, father"

Keep Up Your Courage.

Beginning a thing is easy. It's
the sticking to it that is difficult.
The test of character is the abil-
ity to go on and finish. 1t is a
rare virtue and an exceedingly
valuable one, for, whatever you
have set yourself to do, there will
surely come a time of discour-

after all, it is worth while. Look

Huugering For the Soil.

The older we grow the more
the heart protests against arti-
fetal living, the strenuous exist
ence, and the more we long for
the simple natural life.
The boy who hates the chores
on the farm and who longs to
get to the city where opportun-
ity dwells,' thinks he will never
want to see the country again;
but after years of artificial life
in the city, straining and strug-
Cling for wealth, he is surprised
to feel a great craving in his ma
ture for the old farm. The
things which in the past seemed
like dry, dreary drudgery to
him, now take on tinge of ro-
nance, and he longs for the
scenes of his childhood, to be
back with the calves, the chick
ems and the colts. The meadows,
the brooks, the hills, the trees
all have taken on a new charm
and meaning, and in his imagi-
nation he smells the fragrance OF
the new mown hay and the fresh
perfume Of the wild flowers, and
the gIistening Of the jeweled dew
in the grass. All these things
haunt him, until he buys bach
the old homestead or farm, for {
piece of land he must have
Nothing else will satisfy him.
