A free, open primary election law
requires a fixed open method as to
how party Endorsements, yielding ap-
pointments, should be dispensed by
the officers of the party organization.
Otherwise we are in danger of de-

the primary. In short, the amended
primary law should provide how
party Endorsements should be dis
pensed. We must build from the

What y grand report it is that Sec
retafy dt Agriculture Wilson sends
out as to the value of the crops and
oUher farm products Of the nation for
1908. In his twelfth annual report
he announces that the total value of
all farG products for the past year
reach the enormous amount of over
seven billion dollars almost eight
pllllon. IhlS is four times the value
OF all the gold, silver, copper and
other metals mined last year, includ-
ing mineral oils. The gain in value
over last year is $500, 900 900. The
corn crop was the greatest, being es
llmated at 2,Gl3 900 900 bushels
worth sl,6l5,0O0, 900, The wealth pro
duced by corn alone, in only a few
months, would build the Panama
canal complete, pay the interest bear
ing debt Of the Uuited States and
built ii'ty battleships All cereals
aggregate over four billion bushels
valued at S2,GY4 900 900, and with the
other farm crops, such as hay, cotton
potatoes, tobacco, etc, "a grand total
OF i've billion dollars is realized. Th e
value Of the animals raised closely
approaches three billion dollars
more. 1t is truly wonderful record
and goes to show that ou1' country s
prosperity is based upon that of the

night in order to have a cool trip and
was driving the horse To a racing sui
ky. Just after crossing the Solitude
bridge. about seven miles north OF
this city. and while he was driving
along leisurely, he heard strange cry
the like OF which he said he had new
er heard before. AT this point there
is range of wooded hills, which ex.
tends over a considerable area OF
country and is filed with numerous
small wild animals
Within a few minutes the beast APP.
preached little closer and the hid
eous noise became more savage and
vicious than before. The sound fright
ened both horse and driver. and as
Curtis had no weapons he said the
only thing he could do was to whip up
the horse and get out of the way.
The uncanny animal followed close
behind, sometimes in the main road
and sometimes gliding through the
high grass alongside the road. and all
the time emitting savage growls and
apparently making an effort TO get
closer 10 the driver. BY this time,
Curtis had become thoroughly alarm
ed and giving the fast PAGER another
cut with the whip he started down
the turnpike at top speed. The mys-
FERROUS beast continued TO keep pace
with the fast horse for distance OF
two miles, when II fell behind
Curtis was unable to give an ac-
curate description OF the, animal, but
said that II was considerably larger
than any wildcat and possessed re-
markable speed and staying qualities.
He said that he was often in shooting
distance of the animal, but had no
firearms. and the only thing he could
do was to give the animal race.
