AN OBJECT EsSoN.

The Greenfield Gazette observes:
People living near a large waterway
like the Connecticut river should be
missionaries in behalf Of good forestry
Anyone who saw the water week ago
and observed the same river at the
same point last fall when it was down
almost to the size Of brook, should
have no question that some ruinous
policy is upsetting the face Of nature.
Had the forests along the upper wa
ters of the Connecticut been scientific
ally treated there might now be navi-
cation from Holyoke to the sea. and
all the water powers along the river
would have more regular flow TO de-
pend upon"

Raising Wheat at $1.68.

There is one more v:ndication Of
the claim that if the country boys
would more generally stay in the
country instead of coming TO the city
and going to work at driving a de-
livery wagon or in seeking a place
in a factory, there would be no pro-
blem of the unemployed. The price
of wheat is higher than it has been
since the period of the civil war.
With wheat a. 81. 6S bushel why
does a country boy who can get a
piece of land to farm on shares land
most of them can want to go to the
city where he is paid only that much
per day-part of the time?
1t is true, the city must be re-
cruited from the country, but the
recruiting is overdone The city is
not advantaged by 10000 to 90. 600
idle men fruitlessly searching for
work. If they were raising wheat it
would help the city more. 1t would
pay less for bread.
We expect that in spite of these
few observations, which are lucid, we
hope, some one will say: 'What do
you know about farming?"
And we have heard it said that
many who have hoed corn all summer
in order that they might accumulate
a sum large enough to array them
selves in a go-to-meeting black suit
of clothes as thick as weatherboard
in every season for five years, cry out
that they would rather toll In the
city for 81. 68 day than put such a
wealth of labor into such an made
quate amount of wardrobe
But we think these plants bark
from a past age. Corn is no longer
accounted as fuel product in the
convenient form of an elongated
brickette, and potatoes can not now be
reckoned as complimentary from the
proprietor of the dining resort. You
have to pay extra" for them.
The golden age of farming is dawn
ing now and we folks in town are
looked to to furnish the gold.

PRIMARY LAW VOID.
Supreme Court Thus Holds in the IL
linois Enactment.

Springfield, Ill, June 16.-The
supreme court today decided the pri-'
mary election law was unconstitu-
tional. The court holds the law I'M
constitutional because it provides no
person except the persons registered
at the last previous election can vote
at the primary election and yet makes
no provision for registration of Vot-
ers, and because it provides the sena-
to1ial committee, by resolution, may
decide how many candidates each
ns1ty can nominate for the legisla
ture, and that only such number Of
candidates may be voted for, thus de-
priving the voters of their constitu
tional right under the election law
to vote for as many candidates as
there are Offices to be filed and to
cumulate their votes.
One of the principal points made
in argument againts the validity Of
the law N the appeal to the supreme
court was the section Of the act which
provides that no person may vote at
primary election unless legally quail
fed as a voter, qualification including
registration. The act permitted
voter who had moved into precinct
after the last registration to vote on
affidavit Of a householder, but no pro-
vision was made for casting the vote
oe = I.o,o1 voter UL0 had mot changed
his residence but had not registered.

IMPORTANT RULING.
Express Companies Must Deliver Pack
ages to all Parts of City.

Express Companies Must Deliver Pack
ages to all Parts of City.
The state railroad commission has
decided that express companies must
deliver intra-state packages to any
person residing in the corporate limits
of any city and cannot refuse personal
delivery.
If the cost of delivery varies in
different localities the express COM
pany could establish delivery zones
publishing the list of prices accord
ingly.
This decision was made in the first
express company case TO come before
the state commission. The complaint
was made by Green Bay merchant
that three different express companies
had refused to deliver express to him
and to other residents. The COM
mission decided that it had no
jurisdiction over parcels coming from
outside the state.
