Choosing Public officers.

In free government the people give
effect ID their will through the agen'
cies of political parties; hence. such
parties are instrumentalities of gov
erlment, and the officers thereof are
quasi-public officers, and their acts
should be supervised by law. Gen
eral elections are the last act In
choosing public officers-the end oil
the series, the first being the choice
OF candidates (for our public officers
are chosen from political party candi-
iates). In aiding the people in the
choice of their officers, we should be
gin at the beginning-'with the initial
action of political parties in the
| choice of their candidates. In renew
ing my commentators let us con
slider the question in logical order
Regulation of political parties; pri
mary elections; qualifications o.
| voters; and the regular elections.
Regulation of political parties should
include prescribing the number, size
and jurisdiction of committees, the
| qualifications of members. how to be
chosen: the powers, duties and liabil

men; providing legal remedies TO en-
force these duties, and penalties fol

FREQUENT HOLIDAYS

One of the anomalies of the work
of Congress is that hardly has it as
sembled for it's December session,
than it adjourns again for Christmas
and New Years. Little is usually
done until after Jan. 1. This in
spite of the fact that Congress is
overwhelmed with business and that
vital interests need immediate atten-
tion.
These needs are so pressing that
public sentiment will demand that
Congress work larger portion of
the year. 1t has always been absurd
that a new Congress should not get
to work until 13 months after it is
elected unless called together for an
extra session. These extra sessions
are quite likely to be called for every
year, in order to permit our legisla-
tors to begin to catch up with the
work piled up ahead of them
The work of the national govern
ment sometimes seems to be more
efficiently done than that of the
states, and there are many problems
too big for the states to handle. But
the limits upon the time and atten-
tion of Congress are sharp, and the
states must find way to settle many
problems without help from national
administrations too overloaded to do
all that ought to be done.

Keeping a Family.

The Waterloo papers boast that the
overseer of the poor in Black Hawk
county can show that family of
eight has been able to 1--we a week on
50, making cost of about one and
one-fifth cents for a meal. During a
week there are 21 meals and for
eight persons, 16S meals, which
comes perilously close to a penny a
meal. We are told that these prices
did not include anything for either
ffour or meat, which have been too
expensive to be supplied out of the
poor funds, according to the Black
Hawk standards. The county allows
people who are helped to choose
only from the following list of pro-
Visions: Beans, potatoes, hominy,
flour, corn meal, rice. bacon, boiling
beef, syrup. sugar. soap, oatmeal,
kerosene and gasoline.

About Splitting.

The Britt mayor has proclama--
tion against splitting on the walk. IL
you want to spit you must do It on
the run. 1t also prohibits one from
splitting on the floor, or the walls OF
church. Hereafter. if you want tor
spit in church, spit on the ceiling or
raise the pulpit and spit under it.
There is no discrimination made be-
tween splitting tobacco juice or cot
ton. Gum-chewers are as liable to
get 1t in the neck as anyone. Notices
are being posted on some of the
walks, don't spit on this walk, 1t
leaks" Others, don't spit while in
town, swallow it," The mayor of
Marengo was fined for drunkenness.

WINTER ATHLETICS.

The basket ball season is now in
full swing in host of schools, boys
clubs, Y. M. G. AS and other or
ganizations. This game hardly more
than 15 years old, and invented by
a Y. M. c. A. man to interest the
fellows in that organization, is prov
ing wonderful advantage to young
men.
Up to the advent of basket ball,
there was, with the exception off
bowling, hardly any vigorous indoor
winter game in which red blooded
young fellows could take part. Hosts
of them were driven into the cheap
company of the more questionable
billiard and pool rooms. In these
resorts the air was generally stuffy,
and though they might derive no
moral injury from the two very fine
games. there was physical enervation
rather than stimulus about the pas
tifae
How different is basket ball. The
vigorous exercise calls for the good
air from open windows, and after the
tumultous Joy Of play there comes the
stimulus of the shower bath and the
tingle of the rub. and the player
quits at an early hour for sleep and
rest and a more vigorous waking for
the next days work.

Americans Drink Coffee.

Statistics show that of the 84.-
100000 people in the United States
S4 per cent of them are coffee drink
ers to a greater or less extent. Some
fellow of a mathematical turn of
mind has figured it out that to hold
all the coffee drank in one year it
would take a tank twenty miles long,
one mile wide and two miles deep.
We guess that tank would be bit
bigger than the Panama canal, and
1t would probably float all the bat
tleships in the world.

She assured him that she mad nothing
but wearing apparel in her trunks;
but at the bottom of the largest one
which to him seemed the most sus-
picious, were found twelve bottles of

GAMBLING PROHIBITED.
Postal Authorities Prohibit Admis-
sion to Mails of Newspapers
Containing Lottery Adver-
tisement or Number of
Winning Ticket.

There is probably no more drastic
law and the postoffice regulations
against gambling or lotteries. No
newspaper is admitted to the mails
which contain lottery advertise
ment. Neither are the newspapers
allowed admissions to the mails il
they contain the winning number of
any lottery that has been held. The
postmaster is especially directed to
suppress the edition of the newspaper
being mailed with any such notice
or advertisement.
We make mention of this for the
reason that some person sent to this
Office for publication a note giving
the winning number in recent lot
terry held in town. OF course, we
could not print it, and not knowing
the person who sent it in we were
unable - explain matters to him.
The last law which congress passed
and which the postoffice authorities
are enforcing as against the news
papers is as follows:-
'No letter, package, postal card or
circular concerning any lottery. gift
enterprise Or similar scheme Offering
prizes dependent wholly or in part
upon lot or chance; and no lottery
ticket or part thereof, or paper. cer-
tificate or instrument purporting to
be or to represent ticket, chance,
share or interest in or dependent up
on the event of lottery, gift enter
prise, or similar scheme offering
prizes dependent in whole or in part
upon lot or chance; and no check,
draft, bill, money postal note or MON
ey order for the purchase of any tick
ct or part thereof, or of any share or
chance, in any such lottery, gift en-
terprise or scheme and no newspaper
circular, pamphlet or publication of
any kind offering prizes dependent in
whole or in part upon lot or chance,
or containing any list of prizes drawn
or awarded by means of any such lot
terry, gift enterprise or scheme.

or all of such prizes. shall be feposi

in violation of the provisions of this
section, or shall knowingly deliver or
cause to be delivered by mail any,
thing herein forbidden to be carried
one thousand dollars, or imprisoned
not more than two years, or both:
and for any subsequent offense. shall
be imprisoned not more than five
years. Any person violating any pro-
vision of this section may be tried
and punished either in the district in
which the unlawful matter or publi-
cation was mailed, or to which it was
carried by mail for delivery according
to the direction thereof, or which 1t
was caused to be delivered by mail
to the person to whom it was adj
