Filing Petitions.

In this country there is not enough
respect paid to old age. Japan is far
ahead Of any civilized nation in this
respect. While we talk much Of the
respect due to old age as an abstract
proposition IN this section Of the coun-
try, as a matter Of fact in these later
days we are giving 1t very little at
tention
The state of Illinois has an oppor-
tunity now TO command respect for
age. The present law in regard to the
order in which the names shall be
placed on a primary ticket, and under
which men take upon themselves the
task Of sitting in front of the secre.
tary OF states ONCE for three or -four
months in order TO be the first to get
their names at the top Of the ticket is
a very foolish law and Is akin TO crlt
city to dumb brutes. It would be q
good idea to provide in the law that
when a candidate filed his nomination
papers he should make AFFIDAVIT as to
the day and date of his birth, and that
when the ticket was made UP the old
est man running for any once should
be placed at the head Of the list. Some
laws and some customs have provided
that the names shall be arranged
alphabetically, but this gives the mar
whose name commences with "A" ar
advantage by accident OF birth or name
to which he is not entitled.
Another plan the feasibility Of which
might advantageously be considered
would be to provide that all petitions
be sent in by mail, be shaken up to
gether In box or basket, and drawn
out in manner similar to the govern
ment land distribution scheme. tn,
names to be placed upon the ballot IL
the order thus drawn. Such plan could
easily be safeguarded to make it emf
nently fair for all.
Certainly there should be some leg
islation making impossible this dis
grace Of having public buildings COR
verted into lodging houses.

Improving the Farms.

Among the mass of measures pend
ing in congress is one fathered by Sen
ator Page of Vermont, that possesses
exceptional merit. 1t provides for the
promotion of vocational and especially
agricultural training in the public
schools
The Illinois Educational association
at its recent convention approved this
advanced teaching. The state is max
ing large appropriations for agricul-
tural and vocational training in the
public schools, but the demand ex-
ceeds the available resources OF the
state treasury. The importance OF
these branches OF education is becom-
ing more apparent from year to year,
and their value in promoting the gen.
eral welfare cannot be overestimated
The general plan of the measure is
clearly set forth In the five items OF
the bill. as follows:
The first item provides a fund to be
distributed through the states to the
public schools to be used in support.
ing studies in the trades and indus.
tries, home economies and agriculture
The second item will enable the
states 10 establish 300 OF 400 agricul.
'ural high schools, practically one in
each rural congressional district. the
money TO be used for studies IN agri.
culture and home economics for the
older farm youth.
The third item will enable the state
experiment stations OF each state &c
establish at each of the proposed asri
cultural high schools a branch expert
ment station.
The fourth item will be distributed
among colleges TO support farm insti
tutes, demonstration farms. and othe,
forms Of college extension work.
The fifth item will be divided amonr

would set the whole town agog. Tom
and Dick Emory, brothers, got into
squabble with Nathan Goodrich about
some money Goodrich owed the Emo
rvs. Dick Emory had a heaIy cane in
his hand at the time and attacked
Goodrich with it. Bystanders inter-
fered. Tom, who started to assist his
brother, was prevented from doing so,
after which the fracas subsidized, and
the little crowd that had collected, in
Guiding the participants, dispersed.
THAT was the last seen of Nathan
Goodrich in B. 1t was naturally in
ferred, considering the trouble that had
occurred between him and the Emorys,
that they had followed him up later,
the quarrel had been renewed, Good
rich had been killed and rather than
face a trial for murder the brothers
had disposed Of the body and kept the
affair a secret. But as there was no
evidence to this effect they were not
arrested-indeed, not even accused
but they lived under suspicion, which
is often more narrowing than an open
accusation.
Several years passed with no tidings
Of Goodrich. The Emory boys, what
ever may have been their feelings at
knowing the odium attached to them,
remained in B.. pursuing. the even
tenor of their way. They had their
friends, who defended them. There
were those who shook their heads and
said nothing, and there were those who
averred that murder will out and the
day would come when the making
away with Goodrich would be laid at
their door.
And SO 1t happened. Tow do you
suppose it was brought about? A su-
perannuated aunt of the missing man
dreamed that Goodrich appeared to
her, told her that the Emory boys had
killed her nephew when he was alone
in his own home and buried his body
in the cellar. The only person who
paid any attention to this superstition
was the man who lived in the house
that Goodrich had occupied He dug
In the cellar in a portion which was
not cemented and found a suspender
buckle. an old jackknife and a button.
The articles he turned over to the no
nee. who at once began to make inves
tigation concerning them and proved
to their own satisfaction that they hat
each and all belonged to Nathan Good
rich.

vealed by a dream, but which was fl
itself laughable, the Emory brothers
were arrested. They had been en-
