cOLCRADO'S NOVEL PLAN.

This fall comes befrst partial test
of the law that was enacted by the
state of Colorado prohibiting contribu-
tons and from the state treasury.
The test is but partial because only
local officers are elected this fall.
Under the new law, the state
treasury pays at a state election to
each state chairman a sum equal to
twenty-five cents for each vote cast
at the last preceding election for
Governor. Half of this goes to the
varions county chairmen. 1t may be
supplemented by contributions from
state or local Offices to an amount not
exceeding forty per cent of the first
years salary of the office to which
each candidate aspires.
There the campaign fund stops.
No man or corporation can contribute
another dollar, unless he deliberately
violates a penal statute. All the
money received from the state treas
ury and from candidates must be ac-
counted for by voucher. These must
be filed and published, and failure to
do 50 is punishable with imprisOn-
ment in the state penitcntiary, as is
giving or accepting any contribution
above the limit fixed by law.
The Colorado law is an innovation
the practical workings of which will
be watched, with great deal of in
terest bp the people of the other
states of the union.

PARENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE.

Judge Jacob NJ. Moses, of the
Juvenile Court, finds that many OF
the children that are brought before
him as lawlesS' or disorderly are more
sinned against than SHINING. ga
large proportion ofthe cases ofwrong-
doing among Children" he says in
his report to the Governor, is trac-
able to the home and results from the
viciousness, careIessness or neglect
of parents. This is undoubtedly
true, and it is amazing that there are
so many men and women devoid Of
all sense of responsibility for the
children they bring into the world.
How can little child, who has never
known parents love or care, who
is beaten or ill-treated at home,
whose parents give him continually
an example of vice and of disregard
for all the amenities of life and show
ignorance or contempt for religion
how can child who grows up under
those conditions3Ebe expected to es-
cape the police and the criminal
courts? In some cases children are
taken away from vicious or neglect
full parents and placed in asylums.
But it would manifestly be impossible
to deal with all cases in this way.
Judge Moses suggests that laws should
be enacted under which certain
classes of delinquent parents could
be punished. 1t is a hard problem,
and difiult to solve.
Judge Moses also very properly
recommends the establishment of a
house of detention, where children
who have been arrested may be placed
and cared for pending the investiga-
tiOn of their cases. At present tLey
are sent for temporary custody to the
nsylums or reformatories and, in the
case of colored boys, to Jail. This is
l situation that demands remedy

The Man That Milks the Cow

AS every reader OF the Hi
nois Issue knows, there is a
man connected with this pa
per, who is very much ad-
dicted to writing verses.
We will say for him that
for years he has been making
a heroic effort to break him
self of the habit. He has
taken every known cure. His
friends have done what they
could to help him. But
among all who know him
best it is generally conceded
that his case is hopeless.
He is unable to resist the
slightest temptation. Even
the most prosaic things will
start him. He is capable Of
breaking into verse over a
problem in algebra.
Of course when this type
written letter which is here
reproduced and the accom-
panying picture fell into his
hands he was Immediately
seized with an uncomfortable
desire to write a lot of dog
gerel about "The Man That
Milks the Cow The only
way to prevent him from ac-
complishing his fell purpose
was to lock him up and de-
prive him of all writing ma
terial until the attack had
subsidized.
Even now, as he sits in his
cell, without any means Of
putting his thoughts on pa
per, he is thinking doggerel,
and through the still (stem
winding) watches of the
night any one who passes
that way can hear him mum
bling his jingle about "The
Man that Milks the Cow.
But it WASH t fair to let
him have this theme all to
himself. It's too easy. He
ought to give somebody else
a chance. So before we turn
him loose we are going to
give all our readers an OPP
portunity to compete with
him.
Get into the contest. It's
a free-for-all. Rich or poor,
old or young, wise or fool
ish, handsome or homely, big
or little-send in your jim
giles on "The Man That
Milks the Cow

liberal allowance for the purchase of
corn and will pay an extra price for
extra selected corn showing breed

Rev. Pitner Marooned.

Rev. w. F. Pitner, formerly of this
city and who has just completed six
years of service as district superin-
tendent of the Marshalltown district
of the Upper Iowa conference, seems
to have been left holding the sack.
A press dispatch from Marshalltown,
of recent date, gives the following
particulars:
After coming here a week ago
today with the expectation of be-
coming pastor of the First Metho-
dist Episcopal church, Rev. DR..
Frank S. Rowland lately of Roches-
ter, New York, received a telegram
yesterday from Bishop Hamilton of
Syracuse. directing him to proceed
to Detroit, Michigan, at once to be-
come the pastor of the Cass Avenue
church, Dr. Rowland left for De-
troit Saturday afternoon.
The situation growing out of the
efforts to secure a pastor to sue
coed Rev. DR.. Merle N. Smith is
somewhat unique. A triangular ex-
change was agreed upon few weeks
ago by Bishops Hamilton and Berry
in which Rev. DR.. Deetz of Detroit
was to go to Rochester,, DR.. Row
land was to come here and DR.. F. W.
Pitner of this city was to take the
Detroit charge. Pitner's goods were
shipped and he was all ready to go,
when a telegram from the bishop
directed him not to move until he
received further instructions. DIR.
Rowland came on here to take charge
as pastor, with Pitner already in
stalled as temporary pastor Now,
Detroit gets Rowland because the
church refuses to accept anyone else,
and the church here is still unsup-
piled permanently. Methodist cir
cles of the state are greatly interest
ed in the outcome of the entangle-
ment."

and when this is done, his letter and
request has an inestimable value and
one that should not be lost sight OF
by the intelligent people of this great
state.
IL, as Mr.. Holdens letter would
indicate, Becker county, Minnesota
surpasses the great corn raising
states of Iowa, Illinois. Wisconsin
and others, in raising such a grade
of corn as the greatest authority on
earth will recommend and ship to a
foreign country like Russia, we have
accomplished something worthy of
more than passing mention and
which should serve as an incentive
for further effort along these lines
Those of our farmers who have par
ticipated in the corn contests of the
past three years share equally with
Mr.. Anundsen In this great honor
conferred by MIR. Holden, and it will
be appreciated by one and all alike.
Praise from Sir Hubert is praise
indeed" and too much stress cannot
be laid upon the signal distinction
which Detroit and Becker county has
won in the corn raising world. How
ever. We should not be content with
having attained this class distinction
for there is yet much to be done in
developing the country's natural re-
sources and it behooves each and
every land-poor, wheat raising farm
er of this section of the state to get
busy and adopt the system of scien-
tific, well directed, crop rotation
methods suggested by Mr.. Holden
upon the two occasions when he Wis
tied Detroit. and If this is done in
very few years Becker county will
occupy the place in the agricultural
world to which it is justly entitled.

assist in pushing along the vehicle

winneshiek county who know that
from the vicinity OF Detroit, Mimi,
Becker county, comes the best North
western Dent corn grown in Amer
ira, or the world for that matter?
How many people know that the
farmers of this section produce an
average crop of fifty bushels per
acre of this corn, even with the in
different care that they give it? You
would hardly believe this, would
you? Well, ask some of the Winnie
pshiek county farmers who have been
up there the past few months. They
will tell you that such is the case,
and that they thought so well of
the country that they bought farms
there. 1t is a wonderful country,
with a great future, and the Winnie
shiek county people who have been
there are enthusiastic about it.
No greater compliment could pos
sibly be paid the corn of this section
than the action of Prof. Holden of
the Iowa Agricultural College, the
greatest corn expert on earth, in Sc
! lecting seed corn from this place to
be taken to Russia to use in the
government experimental station.
The following item from the De-
troit Record describes the matter in
detail:
What is undoubtedly one of the
greatest tributes ever paid to Becker
county and the famous Park Region
of Minnesota came the latter part CT
the past week When Mr.. A. F. Anund-
sen, of the First National Bank, re
ceived a letter from Prof. p. G.
Holden. the greatest living authority
on corn and corn culture, requesting
some selected seed corn for the Rus
sian government.
From Mr.. Holden's letter which is
given in full below, it appears that
he was requested to recommend a
man to take charge of the Russian
governments experimental work in
corn culture. Mr.. Holden recon-
mended Professor Michael and that
gentleman has received his official
appointment from the Russian au-
thorities and will leave the United
States on December LIST, taking with
him some of the best selected seed
corn of the various types grown in
this country.
The fact that Mr.. Holden states
his letter that the best Northwest
ern Dent corn l know of is grown
at Detroit" is indeed a compliment
of which the corn raisers of Becker
county may well feel proud. Mr.
Anundsen is immensely pleased to
think that his efforts Of the past
three years to stimulate corn growing
has brought such bounteous re-
ward, and this action of Mr.. Holden
in selecting seed corn from here to
take to Russia will undoubtedly have
more far-reaching effect than any
other one thing that has ever been
done to develop the farming lands
of Becker and adjoining counties.
Mr.. Holdens international reputation
as corn expert and his absolute
and answering conscientiousness
should be taken into consideration
