MORROW C0UNTN'S LEGISLAT.
I'VE INTERESTS.

Morrow county voters should
make an especial effort next Tues
day to give Tom Mshoney a big
majority in this county.
1t is not only a matter of county
pride but matter Of vital interest
as we'll as good business procedure
Morrow county people are taking
on new life in the way of effort for
the advancement of interests in
general. We will soon have q
boost club that will be the greatest
and most representative of any or
ganization ever started here. We
are beginning to realize that it is
up to US and to us only to do sone-
thing for ourselves.
The came condition exists in the
way of legislative representation.
This question is up to us good and
strong.
No one would think of going
over to Umatilla county to get that
county to take up our boost club
proposition and do the work for US
for the reason that that county has
enough to do to boost it's own re-
sources.
We have the same proposition
in the way of legislative represen-
tation. Why should We go over to
Umatilla to get representative in
the Legislature? Umatilla county
has enough legislation of its own
to look after.
In no way can we have repre-
sentative in the legislature that we
can wholly call our OVID, for at best
it is joint proposition with Una
tllla county.
We cannet hep this unfortunate
condition and must do the best we
can under the circumstances.
Mr.. Mshoney is a permanent
resident and property owner Of
Morrow county. He is a good
business man and a good citizen.
Morrow county needs him in the
legislature. Morrow county should
stand by him next Tuesday.
UmatilIa county has always been
ncliDed to be fair with us. Una
lila will be represented by one
'egular and one joint senator and
'wo regular and one JOINT represen-
,ative in the lower house in the
legislature. Our sister county will
70 we'll represented.
Morrow county surely ought to
'e entitled to one representative.
Tom Mahoney is our only show.

GOSSIP about
new BISHOP
(By Associated Preaa.)

(By Associated PreRa.)
St. Paul, Feb. 1O.-The elevation OF
Rev. J. j. LAWYER Of the cathedral to
the episcopacy is but an incident to
a general promotion of several
priests within the province Of the
archdiocese of St. Paul, who will re-
ceive the apostolic commission of
bishop as soon as the authorities in
Rome have passed upon them. At
the same time much speculation has
arisen over the possibilities of Arch
bishop Ireland being elevated to the
rank of cardinal.
Investigation Of the announcement
that five other bishops were to be
consecrated at the time that Father
Lawler becomes auxiliary bishop,
brought out the fact that not only
would next suffragan bishops be ap-
MIMI, and Lead, S. D., but that two
new diocese would be created, which
will be presided over by bishop at
Crookston, Mimi, and at Bismarck,
N. D. The diocese of Fargo has been
presided over by Rev. James O'Reilly
of Minneapolis who was appointed
bishop in succession of the late Bis
hop Stanley. He will be consecrated
at the same time that the other five
are given the power of episcopacy.
With the provinces of Sioux Falls,
S. D., Duluth and St. Cloud the arch.
diocese Of st. Paul will be one Of
the most important in the United
States.
For this reason the conservation of
six bishops at one time, which is Of
itself an unprecedented occurrence
in the annals Of the Catholic church
in America, has been a subject of
much consideration at Rome for
some time, and it is probable that
the rumors which have been gaining
ground for several months to the ef-
feet that Archbishop Ireland may be
made a cardinal may have some
foundation mn fact.

MORE AND BETTER FARMING
IS NECESSARY TO SUCCESS

Washington, Feb 12.-The warn
ings of James J. Hill and James Will
son, secretary of agriculture, that
there must be more farmers and bet
ter farming if this country is to
prosper and endure, is bearing fruit
in government activity and individ'
ual effort.
There will be issued soon by the

ing the vast acreage Of good farm
lands yet available to settlers. This
bulletin will give complete details
of the soil frmation, the character of
crops that will prove most profitable
in cultivation, and the steps neces-
sary to be taken to secure title to
the land.
The vastness of this acreage of
good agricultural lands, the number
of states in which they are to be had
their location with reference to
transportation facilities, and the low
prices al which hey are held by the
government will be a revelation to
the people of the country. The bull
letin will set at rest fears recently
expressed that few years will see
all public lands taken up by settlers.
At the present rate of settlement it
is believed there are lands sufficient
to last for many years to come.
A number Of Western representa-
tives in congress are moving to Sc
cure new classification of mineral
lands that those of no commercial
value, either because of the low
grade of the mineral or because of
inaccessibility, may be released from
the restrictions of the present classi.
ficatiOn and thrown open to agricul-
turists. This fight is to be made
when the conservation measures O.

mittees and on the floors of the

100000 Acres in North Dakota
Representative A. J. Gronna, North
Dakota, is leading in the movement
to secure enlargement of the agricul-
tural areas. He claims there are
more than 100000 acres of public
lands in North Dakota held out by
restrictive classification that should
be thrown open to farmer settlers.
These lands are classified now as
coal lands, and a valuation is plac.
ed on them by the government far

"No one he continued, HAS a
motive as strong as the administra-
ton in power to cultivate and
strengthen business confidence and
prosperity.
"But there was no promise on the
part of the republican party to
change the antitrust law except to
strengthen it. OF course, the gov
eminent at Washington can be
counted on to enforce the law in the
way best calculated to prevent de-
struction of public confidence In bus
mess, but that it must enforce the
law goes without saying"
President Taft did not hesitate to
discuss the attacks that have been
made upon the administration and
the party, or the danger to future
success in the insurgent movement
and other dissensions. Republicans
|, who feared defeat at the polls in No
vember, he declared, however
should take courage from the de.
moralized condition Of their oppon'
ents, the democrats.

amid a whirlwind of laughter, "Whc

Mr.. Taft again came to the defense
Of the Payne-Aldrich bill. He did
not hesitate, he said, to repeat that
it substantially complied with the
party pledges for tariff revision and
that, through this bill, the party had
'Set itself strongly in the right di:
rection, toward lower tariffs"

that, during the first six months ol

millions of acres of land outside the
lands of North Dakota will be convert

farmers will be able to take up home
steads under most favorable circum-
stances.
The government is spending mil
lions Of dollars annually to encourage
and educate farmers that the bes:
results may follow the tilling of the
soil. The effort is directed towards
making the farm so profitable that it
will resist the lure of the factory, and
to so ameliorate the conditions of the
farmer socially that the attractions
of the city will tempt him only for a
visit. The agricultural states are
seccnding the efforts of the govern
ment.

recently in arousing interest in coun-

is the organization of boys and girls

Judge James 7. Umstattd.

James T.. Umstattd was born
near Bloomington, Indiana, Sept.
IS, 1849. He was of a family of
nine children, only one of whom
S survives him, his only sister Miss
Lizzie, of this city.
In 1855 he came with his fathers
family to Missouri, settling in Ma
rion County, and after twelve years
residence there the family removed
to Monroe County, where he resid-
ed until death.
He was united in marriage to
Miss Mary Helena Greenleaf, Oct.
20, 1882, and to this union were
born five children, Ray, Allen, Elsie,
deceased, Ruby and James. One
peculiar coincident was that the
father was buried on the anniver-
sary of the birth of the two eldest
sons, it being Rays twenty-ffth
anniversary and Aliens twenty
second.
Judge Umstattds life was char
acterized by industry. He began
life as a plasterer, afterwards learn
ing the brick layers trade. For a
number of years he and his brother
owned and operated a brick yard in
Monroe City, and some of the best
brick buildings of our city were
erected by him. He owned the
first ice wagon that was ever oper-
ated in Monroe. For a short time
he was engaged in the drug bust
ness in this city. Whatever he did,
he did well, seeking to do honest,
thorough work. For many years he
was in public life, holding various
offices of public trust. He was
twice sheriff of the county, was
county collector one term, and
judge of the eastern district of the
county court for three consecutive
terms. The fact that he was so
many times elected to offices of
public trust shows the extent of his

Remove Big Bridge.

Quite an engineering feat is to be
performed at Fall Greek, ILL.,, the
fore part of next week, when a
bridge on the Q. road between Fall
Creek and East Hannibal will be
taken out to permit the passage of
an immense dredge and fleet, which
has been digging out the bed of
the Sni.
The dredge is almost to the bridge
referred to and will continue to
scoop up the dirt and sand from the
bed of the Sni until this treStle work
isreaChed, which will be next Mon
day. 1t will likely be two or
three days before trains can again
run over the bridge.
This taking away of a railroad
bridge will necessitate the Wabash
