EXIT THE BAD EGG.
C. r. Barnes Tells What Can
Be Gained By Coopera-
ton Among Farmers.

How to make the hen pay larger
dividends, by ark e ting eggs
through the creamery, is told by c..
R. Barns in the University Farm
Press News. a bulletin issued by the
state school of agriculture.
Mr.. Barns says that the long con-
tinued system of each farmer mar
keting his eggs individually causes
loss. He is apt to fail to collect
them every day. to allow them to lie
in the house with no regard to tenn
perature for q week or more, and
then deliver them to the country
grocer with no regard to selection.
Under the system adopted in many
parts of Minnesota. says Mr.. Barns,
individual farmers in q community
sign an agreement to collect their
eggs twice q day, to deliver none
more than eight days old. to deliver
only eggs Of q uniform size and t.
separate the brown. eggs from The
white eggs. delivering them IN sepa,

1.-The thirty-seventh session of the
legislature of Minnesota has passed
into history and it has been much of
disappointment to both members
and constituents, because of its acts
of commission and commission alike, F"
says Mrs. Eva Waterman, writing
for the w. G. T. U. Continuing she
says:
1.-THE session cost over $500, 900,
the House was in session seventy
nine days and the Senate sat seven
ty-one days. There were 1,162 bills
introduced in the House and 926 in
the Senate Only 1856 were enacted
into law, of which % were Ramsey
county bills. nine were st. Louis
county, and 80 were for Hennepin
county, including the bill permitting
the city council of Minneapolis to
extend to the Radisson and Dyke
man hote's the privilege of serving
liquors to guests in the regular cafes
and dining rooms, no bars are al
lowed and drinks can not be served
in guest rooms.
WORTHY BILLS WENT DOWN
''In the unseemly turmoil of the
closing days, which lasted until the
gavel sounded the final adjournment,
several meritorious bills fell by the
way, unintentionally or otherwise;
however, the results were the same.

to take up only those measures in
which our folks were especially in
terested. Initiative and Referen-
dunn, Reapportionment, Woman's
Suffrage, the Recall. Midnight lid

"We especially regret the loss of
the Iowa Injunction and Abatement

final passage" in the House, where
it was lost in the melee of the clos
ing hours.

WHY the Vote BUYERS Escaped

It appears that the vote-buyers In
Adams county, Ohio, did not escape
through the negligence or connivance Oh
the authorities. They escaped punishment
becanse If was necessary to grant I'M
munity baths to them in order to get the
SELLERS. The vote-buyers furnished the
lists upon which Judge Blair and the
county authorities acted. Without these
lists 1t would have been impossible to
round up over 1900 vote-sellers. The latter
are much disgruntled because the vote
BUYERS not only went free, but were PAID
mileage and witness fees. The vote-buyers
are the local politicians, and they go I'M
nunished. but they are really left with
no constituency that they can manipu-
late.
The Investigations of vote-selling are
extending. Scioto county, Ohio. is said to
be in the plight of Adams county; and
way off in Joe Cannons home county-the
county of Danville-more corrupt spots
have been found. These are to be inves-
tigated and possibly the matter in 1lli-
nois may become national scandal.

Regulating the Franklne Privilege

At the suggestion of Postmaster Gen.
oral Hitchcock and In accordance with
an opinion expressed in his annual re-
port a bill has been presented in the
Senate touching the abuses of the frank
ing privilege. So great are the abuses
of the system it is estimated that it costs
the government 100000 a year to carry
ranked matter.
The bill in the Senate provides that all
persons who are authorized to transmit
mail matter free of postage shall do so
by the use of official postage stamps.
stamped envelopes and wrappers, which
the Postmaster General is to be author
lied to issue for that purpose; and after
July 1, 1911, it is ordered that no matter
shall be transmitted gratuitously through
the mails to which such official stamps
to the requisite extent shall not have
been annexed.
The object of this bill Is plain. It is
the desire of the government to keep a
record of the franking privilege, thereby
ena bling>it to locate abuses. In this way
the privilege can be duly regulated AS
conducted at present no one knows or
can know how much matter is carried
free. The plan suggested by Mr.. Hitch
cock is eminently practical, and 1t is
difficult to see how any honest MEM
Der or senator can object to its enact
ment The franking privilege needs sys-
tematizing as much as anything else. and
Congress should pass the bill now pend
ing in the Senate.

The Late Edward L. Russell

Few men of Alabama dying recently
have been SO widely or so profoundly la
mented as Col. Edward L. Russell, vice
president of the Mobile and Ohio railroad,
who was laid to rest yesterday. J. r.
Ryan, vice president of the Corona Coal
and Iron company, in speaking of the de-
ceased, said:
~ had known Colonel Russell intimate
ly for 20 years, and I feel his death as
a personal loss I had many important
business transactions with him, and al
ways found him man of high character.
His brilliant mind and his large capacity
were generally known and appreciated,
but only those who came In contact with
him were In position to appreciate his
fine integrity. He was a,brave, firm man,
but always kindly disposed. He made
friends everywhere, and one of the truest
things I ever heard uttered was at the
banquet rendered Mr.. Finley at the Hotel
sell, in most eloquent and forceful ad-
dress, said, You cannot run a railroad
through the enemy's country That was
the keynote of his policy all the time he
was connected with the Mobile and Ohio
either as counsel, vice president or pres
ldent, and there was scarcely a man liv-
ing along the line of the road who would
not readily have left his plow to help the
Mobile and Ohio. The death of such a
man as Colonel Russell is q real loss to
Alabama"

Fertilization Of the Canal

The President in his speech at the BAN
ouet of the Pennsylvania society in New
York, urged to the exclusion of all other
subjects the fertilization of the canal. He
wants Congress to appropriate 100000
the end cost s12,ooo,0Oo. The total cost
will probably be much greater, for the
army always wants all 1t can get from
congressional appropriation committees.
Many in Congress do not think that for
tification of the canal is at all necessary.
All admit that this country has right
to erect defenses at the canal, but all
are not persuaded that there is any press
ing need for Notifications. Some think
Notifications would invite war at the
canal.
The question will come before Congress,
and as it will encounter free discussion
and no little opposition it may go over to
the next Congress. This is what President
Taft dislikes. He does not relish an APP
peal to House controlled by the demo-
Gratis and to Senate controlled by dem
ocrats and insurgents. The President is
a standpatter, and he proposes, If pos
sible, to crowd a fertilization appropria-
ton through the present Congress. He
may not succeed in this.

Canadian RecinrQCllY

The Canadian reciprocity proposition ad-
hitting IN a people afflicted with high
prices Canadian food products, including
vegetables. butter. eggs, cheese and honey,
is before a Congress republican IN poth
branches. What will a republican Con-
gress do with it?
No democratic obstacles, 1t is CERTAIN
will be encountered, and the republicans
have an onnortunity to show what they
are willing to do toward reducing the cost
,of living. By their final actions when
controlling both branches of Congress Will
thew he Judged next year. They have a
fine chance TO reduce the prices of food
stuffs. and IL they neglect or refuse to do
It. then all will know they prefer special
interests TO the good of the rank and
file.
Nor need the threat of an extra session
in case the reciprocity proposition is peri
mitted to go without the sanction of Con-
gress. disturb the democrats. The House
would in that case pass resolution bring
ing the tariff In line with the proposition,
and then the republicans of the Senate
would be face and face again with Can
adam reciprocity. Anyway the matter is
looked at. the ultimate consumer stands
to gain some ground. He will at least as
certain definitely what the reactionaries
propose to do, and then he will know how
to vote in 1872
Reciprocity, especially with American
states, is all right, and the more we have
of IT the better. The chances are that
the Canadian proposition will go through
the House. and the champions of privilege
in the Senate may conclude that they had
better accept what they do not like. They
have a wholesome dread of 1912.

A MODERN ABoMINATIoN

William Marion Reedy in the St. Louis
Mirror.
Really now, this thing of the letter we
get with its postscript, Dictated but
not read" is getting to be nuisance
In the first place it is an insult to slur
the man to whom the letter is written. A
letter not worth reading over for posi-
BILE corrections by the writer is not worth
reading by the person to whom it is adj
dressed. In the second place the phrase
is fad fake adopted for the most part
to convey the idea that the writer or the
dictator has such vast volume of cor
respondence he cannot find time to at
tend to it. In the third place, the phrase
is often designed as loophole for es-
cape from the contract character of the
letter. 1t enables the man who sends
1t to lay the blame upon the stenographer
when he wants to recede from some
statement or promise mado in the epistle
Too bad that we haven't the name of
the man who returned to the sender ono
of those dictated but not read" letters
with the scrawl at the top, "opened but
not read, that we might do him appro-
pirate honor. Away with this fad and
devious trick. Let us not answer any
letter that carries the idiotic or disingen-
uous legend.
