THE first gun in the Union county
campaign, it might be said, is fired this
week by the candidates announcements
that appear for the first time at the
head of this column. 1t is three months
before the primary and others will short
ly appear. rhe columns OF the COURIER
are open for all republican announce
ments and all will be treated fairly and
squarely. There should be no factional-
ism in county politics and this news
paper sincerely hopes no effort will be
made by any to use county candidates
TO influence state interests and re suits
Every man who is candidate for these
local offices ought 10 be allowed tC
stand on his own merits. This news
paper will make no deviation from this
sensible rule, unless driven to it by the
opposite action of others, which would
bs very much to be regretted. The
COURIER believes there is no adequate
ground for such terrible fuss over
state matters but if we must scrap and
kill off politically lot of good repub
licans. for the sake o. Betsy and th'
baby let's spare the neighbors and
the friends at home.

The Elk Point Basket Ball Team
played their third game Saturday even
ing, with the Vermilion High-School
second team, at the Opera House. A
good crowd was present. Vermillion
brought down nine players, and as she
was thus enabled to frequently change
her men, she had the advantage Of Elk
Point in wind and staying qualities.
Elk Point opened the game fast, shoot.
ing the first basket in the first 30 Sec
onds of play. Vermillion at once re-
taliaved by shooting q basket, and soon
afterwards threw the first foul. This
was the only time during the game that
the visitors had the lead. The rest of
the first half was all for the home team.
Basket after basket was made, and two
tofs.s we're thrown, while THE visitors
did not seem able to find the rim of the
hoop. Score, 26 to 6.
The second half was much slower
than the first. Elk Point seemed tagged
and listless. Owing to the excellence
of the Vermillion guards, the home
forwards had very few chances to con-
meet with the basket. On the other
hand, the Vermillion forwards had sew.
eral chances to shoot for baskets, which
they improved They won out in the
second half, but could not overcome
Elk Points big lead in the first. Fina
| score, 81 to 13.
Throughout the game Elk Polo
showed up well in team work, and hat
she possessed more durability, th
score in all probability would have beeI
much greater. The home team expect
to play the Canton 'Tri Mus" at Can
ten, March IL.

5. The primary election law has
been settled by the people and that
conclusion should not be disturbed.
The selection of a candidate should be
left where it is placed by the law.
6. The direction and conduct OF
farmers institutes should be under the
entire control OF the state college OF
agriculture.
We commend the action of the pres
ent state treasurer in turning into the

on state funds. We recommend the
nomination at the June primaries Of
such candidates as are in harmony with
the principles herein enunciated.

Bad Land Title Tangle Is Revealed

Washington, in the early days, by a
very simple process. The territory
mot exceeding" ten miles square was
ceded to the United States govern
ment by Maryland and Virginia and
placed under the authority of three
commissioners, appointed by the presi-
dent. They or any two of them were
required, under the direction of the
president, to survey and by proper
metes and bounds define and limit a
district of territory. and the territory
so defined was established as perma-
nent seat of the government Of the
United States. Power was given the
commissioners to purchase or accept
land on the eastern side of the Poto-
mac, for the use Of the United States,
and the commissioners were further
required to provide suitable buildings
for the accommodation of congress,
the president and public officers OF the
government of the United States. 1t
was to raise money to erect the pub
lie buildings that the government
planned to sell its land to private par
ties.
No sooner had the capital city been
laid out than land spectators ap-
peared ON the scene, and as result of
their operations, it is asserted. much
land which belonged to the govern
ment illegally passed to individual
owners.

PRISON CELL ROMANCE.

An interesting story has come to
light of the way in which man un.
dergoing a sentence in Pentonville
prison, tanned and made companion
of a pigeon. One bitterly cold morn"
ing Just before Christmas, whilst the
prisoners were at exercise, a pigeon,
halfdead with the cold, fell into the
yard. A convict picked it up, hid 1t In
his breast, and took it back to his
cell, where in the evening he shared
his food with the bird. Wishing to
keep the bird for company, he hid the
bird in his breast every time the
warder came round. Quickly the
pigeon became tame, and a fast
friendship arose, which helped to pass
the weary hours of prison life. At
last, however, his secret became
known to his fellow-convicts, and one
man threatened to inform the officials.
The man told his story to Saliva
tion Army officer who visited the
prison, and the latter advised him to
appeal to the governor, who, inter-
ested in the mans kind action, gave
him permission to keep the bird. The
man has now been released. and was
helped into work by some kindly
hearted people who got to know the
little story of the pigeon.

HOSTESS HAD TO OWN UP
Domestic Secret Disclosed "he'

She was a woman of resource ana

she thought she had devised a way
to meet the fact that she had but one
piece of ME in the house and had IN

She instructed him that when sne
sent to the kitchen for dessert ne was
to say he could not possibly eat any
more than he had eaten and then tne
pie could be brought to her gues'
without his surmising that there was
but one piece in the house.
This might have worked out all
right If the pie had not been 80 ex-
ceedingly good and her husband nad
not known this because he had 1t for
dinner the day before.
When the maid cleared away tne
dinner dishes the master OF the mouse
said he had no room for dessert.
The guest said ne felt the same way.
Then, when the master thought It was
safe to do so, he changed his mind
and said after all he guessed he would
take dessert. The pie was brought.
When It was half eaten the guest
said It looked SO good he thought ne,
too, would indulge.

nEER and elk preserves may play an
- important part in reducing the
high cost of beef. According to gov
ernment experts who have made an
investigation of the cost and methods
Of raising venison, declare that the
game laws of the various states are
preventing deer and elk farming and
denying the country one of its chief
sources of cheap and good meat. Deer
and elk can be raised readily in near
ly every state in the Union. They are
easily controlled and cheaply fed.
The increase of elk under domestica-
tion is fully equal to that of cattle.
They are harder and more able to
stand exposure and the elk hide lie
more valuable than that Of the steer.
The Virginia or Whitehall deer, COM
mon in most parts of the United
States, is not so hardy as the elk, but
with proper care can be raised with
profit.
The state and the government,
through its Yellowstone park officials,
have co-operated with individual
ranchmen in Gazing for the vast herds
of elk in the Jackson's Hole region in
Wyoming. It is estimated that there
are 10000 elk in the Yellowstone park
region constituting the only great
herd left. For two or three winters
these elk have been fed. and have now
come to look upon the feeding as a

knew that the note in question was
sent. It was regular routine matter
in the German foreign Office and fol.
lowed the stereotyped form.
Nations are excessively polite to
one another in their interchange OF
communications. Every letter that
goes out from the state department to
a foreign government has this cere-
monial finish:
Accept, excellency, the renewed as
surance of my highest consideration"
The cermonail letters Of all coun-
tries begin in about the same way.
For instance. all of England's COM
munications begin:
George ", by the Grace of God, OF
the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, king, defender OF the
faith, emperor of India, etc."
Nicholas, by the Grace Of God, en-
peror autocrat of all the Russias. car
of Casan, czar Of Astracan, ETC., lord
of Plescott and grand duke of Smo'
lenski, etc.
Germany's letters are very much
like those of Russia, in that they be-
gin by announcing all the titles OF the
ruling potentate. william H., by
Gods grace. emperor Of Germany and
king of Prussia" ETC., is the way the
present emperor addresses his cere

with quill pen, and If one may Judge
by his signature on file in the state
department, does not take much time
about it. s..

4 REPORT made to congress by a
"a commission appointed to examine
land titles In the District of Columbia
discloses that many lots Of land occu-
pied by modern business houses and
residences in the national capital are
still owned by the government, not
withstanding the present tenants be-
lieye they have a clear title to the
property.
This question of land titles in the
national capital is not new one. Two
years ago congress created commits
sion to study it. The commission con-
sisted of the attorney general, the Sec
retary Of war, Senator Scott of West
Virginia, Representative Bartholdt of
Missouri, and one of the district COM
missioners. The report reveals hor-
rible land tangle, which the courts will
probably never be able to straighten
out. The tangle is the outcome of the
wild speculation in real estate that
took place for good many years after
the capital was laid out.

TN the present census the govern

tain, through special agents, full and
authentic data concerning the tribal
relations of the Indians, as decade
hence when the fourteenth census will
be taken, It probably will be found
that those Indians who are now de-
pendent wards of the nation have be-
come full-fedged citizens.
The Indian population of the United
States decreased in the decade from
1890 to 1900, from 273,607 to 266, ,760.
In 1880 tha.care of the Indians cost
the national government $5,206,109;
in 1909 the cost had risen to $751;
724,162, more than three times as
much. The total attendance Of In
dian children in schools conducted by
the government or by missionary en-
terprise is 25,777. In these schools
no effort is spared to teach the child
some industry by which he may sup
port himself when he comes Of age.
