vehicle for the transmission of di-
sease between his loathsome carcass
and the body OF man. The tolera-
ton which We have shown for this

to the fact that man is by nature
a lazy animal and will make no un-

times before man has learned that

Upon the subject OF the meaning
OF the words personal expenses" as
used In the direct priamry law At
torney General Benjamin Griffith
has prepared an opinion which is of
interest to the many hundred candi-
dates who have presented their
names to the people.
The opinion, in part, follows:
''It will be noted that by section
2s OF the direct primary election
law 1t is provided that candidate
shall not expend moneys or other
valuable things except for personal
expenses. Then follows the pro-
vision that personal expenses. with
in the meaning of the act, shall not
in any event exceed $1,000 II q per-
son is q candidate for United States
senator. $4,000 II = person 10 q can
didate for . state office or congress
and $1,000 II such person 10 = can
didate for any other office.
However, the statute does not
go on. as It would seem 1t ought to
have done, and define what is meant
by personal expenses. The defini-
ton of personal expenses, there
fore, must be a matter of construc-
ton. and 1t should be defined 30 as
to conform to the intent and the
spirit Of the law.

fit. after using the words personal

FOR THOSE WHO NEED HELP

FOR THOSE WHO NEED HELP
For half a century agricultural
aid for those who need immediate
help has been confined to mere ad-
vice, often lacking in definiteness
and application to the conditions
and questions. This service was Of
fered by both state organizations
and the agricultural press, and it
was usually OF little value because
the need had passed Its crisis before
the help was at hand. The new ex-
tension idea means that material aid
will be given Immediately when IL
is needed. The extension agents are
becoming more numerous. with
smaller territories, so that their
personal visit will multiply. They
reach the farmer in the field rather
than merely through the mails and
are thus able to tie their suggestions
closely to the problems at hand.
i Then. too, the help goes much
farther toward solution of the
problems than IL formerly did, since
every case Is an experiment and the
extension man Is bound to follow II
up to note the results from his coun-
sci and record them as aids in other
similar cases. There are still few
agricultural teachers who consider
their correspondence necessary
nuisance, but men in whom the er-
tension idea has become thorougbly
grounded realize that here they are
doing their real teaching, of yastlv
greater Importance than merely do
livering a few lectures. The cor
respondence Of many of our exn.ri.

ana hundreds of thousands of onm-
munlcations annually. In reply to
every inquiry there goes some help.
ana to those that merit the expense
the extension agent is sent for a
personal Investigation. As yet few
OF the states have this work so or
gahized that the casual inquiries can
apply there for immediate help rom
the agents. The work Is too heavv
ana the difficulties too Numerous
but the growth of interest is IA
rapid that the legislatures cannot
long withhold immediate appropri..

A, the time Doltiver lett the conser-

Meeting Dolliver in the corridor

John, are you pretty nearly ready
to have that conference with me-?
"He answered, Yes. l am coming
over to see you
We'll | said. come now
"And he went with me to my COM
mittee room. We spent several
hours together. Dolliver reviewed
all of his associations with the mas
ters of legislation in the house and
the senate. He went back to the
treatment which he had received on
the committee on interstate COM
merce when Aldrich took his rail-
road bill away from him by COM
bination of votes in the com mfttee
and placed him in the humiliating
situation of having to see his bill
reported by democratic member
of the committee. He told me then
Of the difficulty with which he held
himself in restraint from making an
outbreak against Aldrich and the
system. but that he had yielded to
the counsel of his old colleague. Sen
ator Allison. But he said that he
had told Allison that he could not
stand it much longer; that he was
going to break away and declare his
independence of the system In the
senate which was manipulating leg
islation~ for the benefit of great in
terests And Allison. whom he
loved like father, had said to him:

cancer; it's got to be cut out. But
wait until l am gone. and then go
into this new movement where you
belong
"Dolliver said to me: From this
time on, | am going to be independ-
ent. l am going to serve my con-

into farm out there in Iowa. j

many times Dolliver. when our lit
tie group was confering, would turn
toward me and say: Bob has been
taking the gan all those yeArs. Ara
he isn't going to take 1t alone any
longer
"Dolliver never came to the full
ness of his strength until this great
political revolution took place with
in him. And then 1t awakened the
sleeping giant and he became a stu
dent of the details of the tariff, he
dug 1t out by the roots.
