The supreme court by Haney Sat,
urday morning held unconstitutional
section ten of the primary election law,
requiring filing fees of candidates for
county offices. There was no written
opinion This does not cover the
filings forstate offices but foreshadows
what will be done on that when it
comes before the court this week.
Again we have what looks like legis-
lation by injection. 1t was the will
of the people that the primary law
con tain this requirement of filing
fee which was to be used in helping
to defray the expense of the prim Iry
election aud was enacted into law by
their representatives There was
nothing unjust about the require,
ment all men were treated alike un-
der its provisions. 1t takes well
fabricated imagination to see anything
about the filing fee clause that is in
conflict with the constitution.

REFORM COMES HIGH.

The Mitchell Republicans says ''re-

If heed had been taken of the charg-

government was being robbed by the
railroads carrying mail this nation,
according to the late report of the
postoffice department, would have
saved S7O,O0O,O00,000 (seventy billion

1t has always cost the nation and

1t was, however expensive for the
Revolutionary forefathers OF this ma

1t was expensive to carry on the

1t was expensive to have Abraham
Lincoln oppose the south when an

1t was expensive for President Nc

expensive for him to declare wal

1t is expensive for President Roose'

oLD.FAsHIoNEp PIE EATERS.

From the Utica Observer.
 The republicans of Minnesota having read and inwardly digested the useful les- son of 1904 and 1906, have nominated for goeriior this year a plain farmer who, &C., cording to his convention eulogist "eats pie with his knife,' If he should be elect ed 1t would be big triumph for the plain folk of Minnesota And yet he does but follow the table etiquette of George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jef- ferson. James Madison and James Mon roe-of each of the first five presidents in "eating pie with his knife" It was not until John Quincey Adams entered the White House that the substitution of the fork for the knife seems to have occurred to any citizen of America. He contracted the habit while In France" said Mrs Adams in an apologetic tone to some of her guests, "and he finds 1t difficult to break himself of 1t since we returned home." So the first great gem eral of the American army, the sturdy patriot of Massachusetts the author of the Declaration of Independence, the chief advocate of the federal constitution and the originator of the Monroe Doc trine-ail ate pie with the knfe.'

THE ETERNAL FEMININE.

From the Philadelphia Publio-Ledger.
 Telephone girls in Paris are striking against the appointment of superintend- ents of their own sex over them. The arguments they give are strictly feminine. Who shall say that by reason of this they lack logical force? The girls assert that women always are jealous among themselves, and thus unable to judge each other fairly. They think a becom- ing skirt frill or a founce might n., cite the enmity of dowdy superintend- ent The sociological value of the Paris incident lies in the fact that it discloses. as the philosophers say, universal" or trait, which seems to be common to the feminine nature the world over ready way, according to many observ- CTS, to cause trouble Is to place one woman in command of two or more. If a man-an indf erent man will do-be sub stituted in the position of authority, peace regns. The subject is one for the ex- cogitations of the woman suffragists.

which stands condemned by the report of the legislative committee, would be retained under the Holder bill. The bill was pushed through the house of representatives, the vote being yeas 99, nays 5S.
 But the senate has no intention of accepting the Holder bill. A bill has been prepared in that body that calls for the ending of the convict lease sys- tenn on April 1, 1909, after which time all convicts are to be kept at the state farm as base for working them on the public roads. In order to support the system an income tax of half a mill on the dollar is to be laid, and license tax of $200 on each place that sells near-beer imposed The prison commission would be abolished by the senate bill to make room for a prison board consisting of the governor, the attorney general and the commissioner of agriculture. Twenty-three senators out of A are pledged to vote for the Fielder or senate bill.
 The reform movement in Georgia is in line with the action of Texas, Mis- sissippi and Louisiana Those states abolished the convict lease system, and the penitentiary system in all three states has proven to be not only more humane but even more profitable The leasing of convicts to private persons usually leads to scandals, and the leases of Georgia, bad as they are, are no worse than they are in some of the other states.
 The Georgia legislature will no doubt devise some remedy for proven evils, and the Holder bill, it is plain, will not be accepted. Something better and quicker in operation is demanded. Neither the senate nor Gov. Hoke Smith will accept the Holder bill.

Apparent Apathy In Politics

Two months of the national cam paign remain to be utilized for cam paign purposes. Thus far things polit- ical have been lethargic. There is no enthusiasm. It is not superabundant in the democratic camps, while in the republican tents it is absolutely lack ing Nor is it probable that the two closing months will materially change the nature of the campaign. The wild mental gymnastics of 1896 cannot be acceptably duplicated this year. For some reason the people do not want them. Just why they do not want them Is not easily ascertained. They may be too busy in bringing back good times or in gathering and marketing big crops, or they may have ascer- tained that public questions can be considered without spellbinding and without loss of temper Whatever the reason may be the campaign is one of the most tranquil that the memory or even history recalls.
 But below the surface-that is it. No one knows what the quiet, determined voter Is proposing to himself these days. He may be preparing to get even with those who have thrown him out of employment or out of profits with those who have overtaxed him or dealt unfairly with him. And the more radical he proposes to act at the ballot box the stiller perhaps he will remain throughout the campaign
 This, however, is but surmise. All that is known is that the campaign per sists in being quiet, almost polite. No one except perhaps MT. Mack and Mr. even prophecies. All are tranquilly in doubt. The democrats are united even to and including David B. Hill. The | republicans have many factions to ap- pease and bring into line. Outside of the appointed campaigners no one is talking politics. Inertia reigns, and the leaders do not know what it means. Neither does any one else But all anticipate a large vote and perhaps surprising results.

WENT 700 MILES TO SING.

r GOI tHt NtW 1OIh liiles
 Tom Greene, the tenor, is travelling 700 miles to sing one song. MT. Greene. who has been singing with David Bispham. was on his vacation in Maryland when he received a hurry call from Mir Bisp- ham to appear Saturday night in Bar Harbor, Me, to sing the "Adelaida' song It is 700 miles from Church Creek, Mich, to Bar Harbor. Mir Greene packed his suit case and started at once He was in this city yesterday en route north.
 Tt is a long trip, l know, to sing song which will not take more than fif- teen minutes" said MT. Greene, but I don't mind it a bit. I love the song and want to sing it. It's not the first time l have taken long jumps on hurry calls. One season I hustled out to San Fran cisco to sing and had to get there in five days. I arrived about an hour before [ was to go on. But I made it all right. and my voice did not seem to have been affected by the trip"

which all international church ques- tions should be submitted, but this was voted down by the American and colo nial representatives There will there- fore be no control by English bishops of racial questions thousands of miles away. The declaration of the confer ence was dictated by those who had never come nearer a racial problem than London is itself. It comes from theorists who have never had any per sonal experience with racial questions, and it will have the weight that the utterances of theory spinners usually have and no more.

General Booths Life Work

Gen. William Booth, commander-in- chief of the Salvation Army, almost 80 years old, has left London, bound to Capetown, where he will at once begin three months tour of South Africa. He hopes to make Rhodesia the future home of many whom he has rescued from the slums.
 His friends in this city will regret to hear that the great leader is threat ened with blindness. Cataracts are growing on both eyes and the surgeons do not seem to be able to remove the growing impeachment to sight. General Booth is striving therefore to complete his worlds tour while the blessings of sight remain to him. His tours in America were parts of his general plan.
 It is well-nigh impossible to sum up the good General Booth inaugurated when he organized an army to work among the humble, the downtrodden, the unfortunate only. It is a big organ ization now, but it's aims are not bit changed. It builds no fine churches; it has no great organs, but all it's moneys and energies are expended in rescuing the weak and friendless and helping them to lead better lives.
 Who in all this world has done so much for humanity in single lifetime as William Booth! We need not pause for a reply for the world does not con- tain a man who has done so much. Certainly not the poet of the genera tion, nor the military man-not Bis- marck or Togo or the scientists. No one has lifted up so many people as William Booth has through the work ings of the wonderful organizations that he created, shaped and promoted.
 It may be said that the man who created the German empire, or the man who induced the world to accept the theory of the survival Of the Attest, or the man who writes an immortal song do work that is far-reaching, but the Salvation Army may rescue from the slums children who will equal all these things, but If it does not it will at least | better the lives of millions of people and that is the supreme merit
