ILLINOIS REACHES A
HALE OLD AGE

Fourscore and ten years ago Thurs
day President James Monroe signed
the birth certificate of Illinois as a
state of the union and birthday cele-
brations were held throughout the
state. Special exercises were held in
a number of schools and colleges.
The act enabling the people of Illi-
nois to form constitution and fixing
the present northern boundary was
passed by congress April Is, 1918. The
constitutional convention met in Au
gust and without great difficulty formu-
lated the constitution.
Nathaniel Pope, at that time dele
gate in congress from the territory of
Illinois, had an important part in Sc
curing affirmative action by congress
on the enabling act to Illinois, provid-
ing for statehood. After an energetic
struggle he succeeded in having in
corporated in the bill provision that
the northern boundary of the state
should be at its present location, Civ
ing to the state fourteen counties and
the city of Chicago, as it now stands,
which would have been within Wiscon-
sin boundaries under the original pro-
vision. This was for the purpose, and
so held by Mr.. Pope, of preserving
within one state complete system of
waterways which might be used in the
future to connect Lake Michigan with
the Mississippi river.
The first election of state officers
under the new constitution was held
Sept. II, 1918, upon the assurance from
Washington that the constitution form
n'ated would be approved by the presi-
'ent, and Shadrach Bond was elected
the first governor. The first general
assembly met at Kaskaskia. which was
the first capital. Oct. 5, 1918, and Gov
ernor-elect Bond was inaugurated the
following day.
During the early years of statehood
Illinois was distinctly frontier state.
Iowa was not organized until 1864, and
until that time Illinois marked the
westermost boundary of organized civ
ilization in the country.

place De Armond of Missouri. De Ar
mond is hard worker and strong
advocate of tariff revision.
Few members of the house on either
side have had wider range of exper-
ience than has Mr.. Clark. He is fifty
eight years old and native of Ken
tucky. He was graduated from Ken
lucky university at Lexington and stud
led law at the Cincinnati law school.
In 1873 and 1874 he was president Of
the first normal school established in
West Virginia. After his experience
there he removed to Missouri and be-
came principal of the high school at
Louisiana in that state. In 1876 he be-
gan the active practice of law and for
several years served as city attorney
of Louisiana. Then came q period Of
two years of service as editor of a
country newspaper.
Mr.. Clark IS public career dates from
1880, in which year he was chosen a
of the Missouri legislature. He was
elected to the ffty-third congress in
1892, and to the ffty-fifth congress
in 1896, and has since been biennially
reelected from the ninth Missouri dis
triet. He is an eloquent speaker and
ready to debate, as more than one of
his republican opponents have found
out when they engaged him in for
ensic tilt. Mr.. Clark is supposed to be
pretty well fixed financially, larg.
part of his wealth having been made
in recent years on the lecture platform.

MARK TWAIN HAS A BIRTHDAY.

NEW YORK, Nov. 30.@Though
Mark Twain may never realize the
confessed ambition of his boyhood days
to become president of the United
States, there is no room to doubt that
his fame is almost as widespread and
his popularity as great as that of any
occupant of the executive chair at
Washington. This was evidenced to-
day by the stacks of letters and tele-
grams he received on the occasion of
his birthday. He confesses to seventy
three of these anniversaries and frank
" declares that he likes them so well
he hopes to have many more of them.
Since last spring the veteran humor-
list has been making his home at Il
charming little country place he has
bought in Connecticut. But the charm
Of his old haunts along Broadway and
Fifth avenue have not lost their fas-
cination for him and almost every week
he manages to run into town to spend
day or two at his favorite club and
have a pleasant chat or a game of bill
liards with his old associates. Despite
his seventy-three years Mr.. Clemens
presents picture of hale, elert activ-
ity and seems to enjoy the best of
health. il

Few growers keep record of cost.
One at Olivet, on Clear Creek, reports
total cost for raising and marketing
of $40 per acre for a crop that
brought him $500 per acre. His land
was valued at $500 an acre. One of
the large growers. who hires all work
done, reports an average cost for rais-
ing and marketing of 1900 per acre.
Most of the celery in Clorado is
raised on half to two-acre tracts.
The largest individual grower in the
State is L. J. Fort, who, on his farm
near Brighton, grew, in 1908, 35 acres.
Many of the best growers raise their
own seed and have been breeding up
for number of years to improve quail
tv and reduce "stringiness. - Colorado
seed is preferred as giving more uni
form crop with finer flavor.
The demand for Colorado celery is
steady increasing. Five years ago a
leading shipper sent out Is carloads,
and this year 275 carloads.
To the eastern gardener who wants
to come to the high altitude of Colo
RADIO, with its dry climate and 320 days
of sunshine each year, celery growing
offers profitable business.

u1Ho1Ds Two-cENr FARE

The supreme court of the United
States Monday reversed the decision
of the United States circuit court of
the eastern district of Virginia hold
ing to be unconstitutional the order of
the state railroad commission fixing a
2-eent passenger rate on state business
the effect being to uphold the order.
The opinion of the court was an
nounced by Justice Holmes. The case
came before the court on an appeal
of the state from the decision of Judge
Pritchard of the United Safes circuit
court for the Eastern district of Vir
ginia, holding the proceeding by which
the rate was fixed to be unconstitu-
tional and prohibiting the carrying of
the order into effect.
The rate was named by the commits
sion in accordance with authority be-
slowed by the Virginia constitution,
but the railroads of the state prayed
for an injunction against the enforce
ment on the ground that the present
rates of the companies are reasonable
and not discriminatory, either as be-
tween individuals or localities. 1t was
contended on behalf of the roads that
the effect of the rate proposed would
be to reduce charges below reason
able and just compensation; that, in
deed, the order was confiscatory and
would have the effect of taking their
property without due process of law.
The state authorities attacked the iu-
risdiction of the court. claiming that
the commission itself was a court, as
provided by the state constitution, and
that its DEGREES could not be interfcr-
ed with by a federal tribunal
After hearing the arguments in the
ease Judge Pritchard. on December %
1907, issued final decree, granting
the prayer of the railroads and en-
joining the enforcement of the commits
sion s order of reduction. He held that
the commission IS duties were admins
trative and not judicial. This decision
was overruled by Mondays action.
Justice Holmes, in his opinion, said
that the proceedings of the commits
sion were judicial in character and
that the court IS decision of reversal
was based on the failure of the rail
roads to exhaust their rights in the
state courts. Justice Brewer alone
dissented from the result
