SPEAKER FssLYs NEGLECT.

An commission, calculated or careless
as the case may be- affects the validity
of the Cosson law enforcement meas
ure permitting private citizens 10 act
against the red light resorts by in
junction proceedings. Under the bill
any citizen may go above the city au-
thorities and plead enjoinment OF
bawdy resorts. Already many of these
places have been closed and others
are likely to get ont before they are
proceeded against The bill renders it
impossible for a grating administra-
ton TO sell resorts protection and be
certain that it can deliver the goods.
When the bill came up 10 Governor
Carroll for his signature il was found
to lack the signature Of Speaker Feely
as provided by law. Attorney General
Byers says that the lack will not in
validate II. Il IS 70 be hoped that he
Is right. AT any rate it leaves a loop

lessness
II is probable that in the hurry Of
the later days Of the session that
Speaker Feely neglected 10 affix his
signature as he should have done as
a presiding officer charged with and
entrusted with so important a duty.
It is unfortunate TO say the least, that
he failed. So far as the result is con-
cerned, the effect is precisely the same
whether he forgot to do so or whether
he left his name off the bill purpose
ly. So far as Speaker Feely is con-
cerned, the difference is great. AS TO
the law II doesn't make much differ
ence which way it came about. When
an engineer forgets 10 read his orders
and wrecks a train, carelessness be-
comes criminal and when the speaker
OF the house invalida,es or renders an
important measure open to attack be-
cause of gross carelessness, there vii
be things said and many things

GRAIN GAMBLING.

Apropos Of the Patten wheat corner,
the Journal OF Commerce goes on to
analyze the grain gambling of the
board OF trade as compared 10 the act
ual possession and legitimate dealing in
various commodities. The Journal ar
CUES:
The gambler on the board of trade
says his transactions are not illegal
He says the farmer buys a colt. keeps
ii few months and sells il at a profit
He says the dealers in futures buy a
few million bushels Of grain. holds
them few months and sells at a
profit. Both transactions he claims
are honest and honorable.
He, however, does not look at the
question in the right light The farm
er buys the colt, turns it into the pas
ture, allows 1t to become more valu-
able. II is true the market may rise
and the farmer may make few dol
lars in that way, but he has in no way
influenced the rise of the price.
One grain gambler purchases a few
million bushels of wheat Another
grain gambler does the same thing.
They form a combine, push grain UP 10
an abnormal price, and sell out. The
abnormal price then becomes normal.
and the crazy purchasers are ruined. In
short the gambler makes while the
/ crazy purchasers lose
The farmer sells his horse at a profit
but the purchaser gets value received
The grain gambler sells his grain at al
abnormal price, by criminal conspir-
acy between himself and associates
The farmer made this profit in the ma
! tural legal way The grain dealer
made his in the abnormal, crimina,
way.
1t is wrong for James a. Patten tc
make $1,000 coo every day on products
he did not produce and on market
that will bring ruin 10 hundreds of
others. Time is fast approaching wh.r
this kind of gambling will be made
impossible by law.

This gives an estimate that is accu-
rate enough to give very good idea
Of what 1t costs to produce each par
ticular crop. In figuring the cost Of
labor enough should be added to pay
for the use Of the machinery. The
cost of seed will include cleaning, test
ing and other preparation. Perhaps
the best way to figure the value Of the
manure applied is to include it in the
rent Of the land. Thus the corn crop,
which receives the first benefit from
the manure can be charged a higher
rent on this account. The amount
charged to the oat crop will be less,
while the clover crop, which really
adds to the fertility Of the land, will
pay the lowest rent Of ali. Where the
grain is fed on the farm there will Of
course be no charge FOR marketing.
The cost Of clover seed, which is Gown
with the oats, should be charged to
the next years clover crop.
Following the expense account
should come profit and loss page: 49,

r. FARMING on high priced land

must be conducted on business
principles If the greatest prof
its are to be realized. The
farmers work is by no means done

corn or successfully fattened a car.
load OF steers. He must be able to
market his produce at a profit and
must also know whether the st, crs

1T costs to produce each crop Of grain
1t is a fact that the only way to
know just what yo.- are doirg and
just what parts Of your farm are

being run at loss Is ~ .leep book;'
This does not necessarily mean a com
plicated system that will require half
your time to keep in shape. By lit
tie care the method Of keeping accounts
can be so systematized as to amount
to only few moments week.
The first and most important book is
the check book. The ''check book hab-
IT. VIII often save a great deal Of
money and trouble. II yo j lose your
check book or have 1t stolen, you still
have your money left. You do not
have to waste time trying to make
change, since the check can be always
made out for exactly the right amount.
When you give man check in pay
ment for what you owe him, be must
sign that check before he can draw
the money on 1t. At the end Of every
month the bank returns these signed
checks to you, and you thus have re-
ceipts for all the money you paid out
during the month.
For general accounts any good sized
blank book will answer. There are a
number Of specially made farmers ac-
count books. but blank book which
you can rule to suit yourself will be
just as good or better. The first page
should be devoted to an inventory Of
the stock, grain and machinery, to-
gether with their value. Following
this should be map Of the farm.
Next to this should come the cash
account. A convenient and simple
way of arranging this is as follows:
