Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 2s.-The worh
of the state board OF agriculture IN
advancing the interests Of animal in
dustry by the eradication OF the fever
tick from certain infected portions Of
the state received a big boost yester-
day in the district court Of Lincoln
county.
The county commissioners Of that
county, assisted by the state board Of
agriculture as well as by the federal
board of agriculture, are engaged in
the work OF eradicating the fever tick
from that portion of the state so that
It may be placed above the federal
quarantine line.
Certain parties IA Lincoln county
obtained temporary injunction re-
strainlng the county commissioners
from levying a tax and paying the ex
penses incident to dipping the cattle,
also restraining the inspectors OF the
county, state and federal government
from dipping the cattle. Yesterday |
they sought to make the injunction |

toned to do so by majority Of the
qualified voters Of the county shown
by the last election returns.
County Attorney j. L. Davis, appear
ed on behalf of the board Of agricult
ure and the county commissioners.
Judge Robertson decided in favor Of
the defendants and dissolved the in.
junction, stating that in his opinion
that the law was perfectly plain and
that 1t gave ample authority to the
board Of commissioners to proceed
without any petition, that the petition
as provided in the law, was for use
Of the people in compelling board Of
county commissioners to perform this
work should they refuse or neglect
to do so.
Should the plaintiffs appeal to the
supreme court and ask that the dip
)ing Of the cattle be suspended until
leard by that court they must give
en- thousand dollar bond,
This decision means much in the
interest OF better cattle for that part
# the state. The placing of Lincoln
ounty above the federal quarantine
inc win result in a better grade Of
attic and a mucn higher price. The
tate board Of agriculture has taken
luch interest in this case and is elat-
over the results.

THE LEGISLATURE OF 1909.

As we look over the legislature of 1909 we recognize that 1t is not made up of raw recruits. There are many men of legislative experience there, and it has distinguished itself for
 being strong on politics and weak on reform-more free in spending the peoples money than it appears to be capable of providing the ways and means for meeting expenses. As a body for honesty and intelligence it compares favorably with many of it's predecessors, but it has been weaker in leadership. The leaders this year have appeared to think too little of the people and the party and too much of themselves. The reason more political offices have not been created is sim ply because the members had better judgment than the committees or their leaders. The obstructioKists against reform have shown a strong hand and they have robbed the general assem- ply of the distinction it could easily have won. They have made the ses- sion of 1909 one grand loafing term. and the people will be glad when the doors of the legislative halls have been locked and the keys thrown away.

TO BEAurIrY ITSELF.

The city of Des Moines, Iowa. has reached the stage in it's career where it will depart from it's hit or miss pol icy and proceed upon a plan to beau tify itself by employing an expert as the outcome of the active effort of the civic committee of the Woman's club of that city. The natural beauty of city site is made or marred by the streets and squares and buildings which complete the communal picture The modern city is started right-the old city was started wrong and must go to large expense to create attrac- tive business centers and civic aggre- gations of public buildings artistically arranged from the view point. It is the well-designed business place and parks and squares and the parked streets which add to the beauty of any place. To be able to get public recognition of this is to get started for more beautiful city. It may be a slow process. but moving by well made plans is the only way to make city fit the natural Fay of the land upon which it is built.

THE NATIONS LIKES AND DlS-
 LIKES,

All users of tobacco are interested in the new free trade arrangements with the islands and are wondering what the result will be upon the to- bacco trade of the country. It looks as if the likes and dislikes of tobacco users would operate to create and maintain a happy balance of trade for home products. A Boston paper com menting upon the Philippine cigars says:
 An army officer who has seen ser vice in the Philippines is accustomed to tell his friends that the most like able thing he found in the islands was the tobacco. Another army officer, at home a persistent smoker, broke off the habit after he had been a short time stationed at Manila, because he could not use the tobacco. Probably the same diversified results will follow local tests of the thirty thousand cigars that have reached Boston as an instalment of the 150,000,00O which, under a provision of the new tariff act, are admitted to the country free of duty. In appearance they are not at all suggestive of the old-fashioned Manila "cheeroot," but copy standard shapes and sizes and show much bet ter workmanship than did the pioneer cigars from Porto Rico. As these specimens represent it. the tobacco of the Philippines is light colored and mild, and many persons find it's flavor agreeable, though others profess to detect a tang" of bitterness which might be accounted for by improper curing. The retail price of the cigars ranges from three to ten cents."

clared with no want of precision that the political discrimination against the colored races, contained in the consti- tuition of the new South African fed eration, coincided entirely with his own views. The despatches put it strongly in saying that MT. BaHour denied that it was intended to give the colored races equality with Euro peans and maintained the opinion that it would be impossible for the higher forms of civilization to survive if equal rights were granted to the natives of the country. The liberal party of Eng land which inherits the traditions of Golden and Bright, might be expected to make some stand in favor of equal ity of treatment for the subjects of the king, regardless of race or color. but they dodge the issue by leaving it to local opinion for settlement. And local opinion is controlled nfainlv by fear of having the small numerical minority of Europeans overwhelmed some time by the black masses in South Africa.-Springfie Republican.

CIRCULATION
THE BULLETINS ILLUSTRATED
 BOOK,

It is not surprising that great deal of interest is felt in the pictures which are to be a feature of the 250th an- nfversary Jubilee book-what they are to be and what they are to repre- sent. Portraits of the officers and chairnlen of committees and the guests of the city will number score or two and then there will be photographs of the decorated streets, the parade, the performances and objects of spe- cial interest, it is expected, will make about 50 pages. Where there are large assemblages of people the pictures will be made large enough to make the Identification of citizens possible. There are quite a number of these photographs which will be given full page.
 It is the purpose of The Bulletin to make this book so attractive that it will be in prompt demand when it appears in December for delivery.
 The Bulletin has had submitted to it for examination about 200 photo- graphs already, and expects to have others submitted.
 The lettorpress and the illustrations will represent the best part of the an- niyersary celebration, and the book will be prized for it's accuracy and value by Norwich people everywhere.

LIVE TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT
 LONGER.

Life insurance companies have taken men as they go after a physical ex- animation by competent medical men and have made it profitable, but new move is class insurance at most mod crate rates. For instance, there has been organized in Georgia a life in- surance company which proposes to accept as risks only total abstainers. who living twenty five per cent longer than those who imbibe intoxicants are entitled to reduced premiums.
 An exchange suggests that success here may lead to anti-tobacco insur- ance and to cheap insurance for veg eterians and dietists, and as a noted surgeon has recently made the discov- cry that by removing the colon in children, the span of their lives could easily be extended to a century. Of course there are no statistics" on hand relating to this matter, but they may be awaited with confidence and anybody knows that as they occur they can be made to substantiate the surgeon. Let us therefore begin to think about an insurance company for the citizen without a colon, which as any one can see would not only give cheap protection to it's benefciaries but distinctly boom the profession of surgery.
 The old line companies are not like ly to be much disturbed by ventures of this kind. They have had their experi- ence and these new companies have theirs to get
