THE sTocKeRowERs' MEETING

Joseph f. Painter appeared last
nigh, before the joint committee fron,
the house and senate, which has his
bills providing for reform of the
system of state stock inspection un-
der consideration, and advanced rea-
sons why the committee should take
action on these. In commenting on
the proposed change in the stock in
spection laws and the operation OF
the present stock board, Painter made
the following points:
They tell us that we have a most
effective system Of stock inspection.
/ say that the very fact that $150,0OO
worth Of estrays from this state were
sold on the eastern market during the
last biennial is the best evidence that
our inspection service is inefficient.
Some of this $150.O0O is returned to
the owners of the cattle which are
shipped illegally and some of 1t is
not.
Il have heard 1t stated time and
estray fund belongs to the cattlemen
OF the state. say that 1t does not
1t belongs to the people of the state.
1t is collected by inspectors who are
paid by the people of the state and
is placed in the hands of board that
is a part of the government of the
state. When unidentified cattle are
sold the money belongs to the people
of the state and they have right to
know how it is being expended. Den.

vehicle highways traversing a country
one-fourth as large as Europe-narrow

sort of idea of the little that is still

Fame and the Editor,

Fame, so difficult possession to OBJ
tain, lies oftener than one usually
thinks in the power of the press.
Oscar Browning in his interesting
Memories of Sixty Years" tells how
Fox, then editor of the Monthly Re-
pository. settled the fate of Robert
Browning's Pauline" when it first ap-
peared by the mere word "balderdash."
The explanation given is that "a sim
gle line was required to complete the
page, and the editor, taking up the
first book on which he could lay his
hand and thinking 1t insignificant and
pretentious, described it as have stat
ed above"
Oscar Browning declares that the
poet said that by this accident his
public recognition had been delayed
for twenty years."
