Too Busy with Their Digging.

Philadelphia Record.
The farmers of the United States would
have a hundred times more advantage in
the establishment Of a parcels post system
than possible disadvantage as a result Of
the adoption Of the Canadian trade agree
ment, even II the arguments of opposing
trusts were soundly based Yet there was
no special favorable demonstration made
by farmers at the parcels post hearings.
The real farmers are attending to their
farming. They do not demonstrate. They
are not opposed TO reciprocity, and they
are in favor OF a parcels post, but they
keep on with their digging and rest sat
isfied in the belief that their actual repre-
sentatives will duly represent them. Let
us hope.

Lobbying Professors Disciplined.

opIIHBIItIui INdsb.J, HtpUuIICHn.
The regrets of the Nebraska university
have disciplined several professors for al
legged lobbying at sessions OF the state
Legislature. One professor was anxious to
have the university removed and two 9TH
ers zealously urged the abandonment Of
an allied medical department II does not
appear that there was anything fragrant in
the action OF the men, but the situation Of
university professor suing for favors
from members OF the Legislature was
rightly regarded as objectional II is to be
hoped that this is not a case in which the
regents merely wish to do the lobbying
themselves and seemingly 1t is not.

Why So Silent Now2

Only last fall, when the question of
voting machine was raised by local
republican candidates who desired to
avoid being inundated by the straight
party lever vote for Dahlman. our
amiable democratic contemporary imi-
tated the antics of a mailman in its
violent denunciation. To quote its
language, the attempt to throw out
the voting machines was "a disgrace"
1t was "a base plot to defeat the pop
ular will as it would like to express
itself at the polls" Its effect would
be ito pave the way for fraud and
chicanery." To discard their use
would have $4,000 worth of voting
machines, bought with the peoples
money, to prevent fraud and scandal
thrown on the junk heap"
1t is given out that for the impend-
ing special bond election the vote is
to be recorded not on the voting ma
chine, but by paper ballot. Yet not
a word of protest from those who
yelled so loudly last year. Is there
any essential difference in voting on
three bond propositions mortgaging
our property for nearly 100000
and choosing between a bunch of
office-seekers? If the machine is the
only safeguard against fraud and
chicanery" and the paper ballot is a
device Ito defeat the popular will as
1t would like to express. ITSELF" why
is the ditching Of $4,000 worth of
voting machines, bought with the
peoples money" not denounced 40 a
scandal now as it was only last Oc-
| tober?
Why so silent, Mr.. Democratic Or
gan? Why no indignant outburst
against this diabolical plot? Why not
appeal to some honest and fearless
Judge to come to the rescue of the
menaced rule of the people?

A DAY IN JUNE.
James Russell Lowell.


And what so rare as a day in June?
Then, IL ever, come perfect days;
Then heaven tries earth If II be in tune,
And over II softly her warm ear lays.
Whether we look or whether we listen,
We hear life muTmur, we see II glisten;
Every cod feels a stir OF might,
An II stinct within It that reaches and
towers,
And, cropping blindly above It for light
Climbs to a soul in grass and flowers.
The flush OF life may well be seen
Thrilling back over hills and valleys;
The cowslip stRrtles In meadows green,
The buttercup catches the sun in Its
chalice.
And there's never leaf nor blade too
mean
To be some happy creatures palace;
The little bird sits at his door In the sun,
Atilt like a blossom among the leaves,
And let's his illumlned being o'erun,
With the deluge OF summer II receives;
His mate feels the eggs beneath her wings,
And the heart in her dumb breast flutters
and sings;
He sings to the wide world and she to her
nest
In the nice ear of nature which sing Is
the best? =

After all II appears that the "disincllna-

been exaggerated, for while there are fifty

nine appointments TO be filled by senator's
