Appointments BY Commission,

Columbus, o., Dispatch: Senator
Works, in proposing to turn the mat
ter of appointments to federal place
over to u commission, thus relieving
the president, and congressman of any
part in the task, seems to ignore the
constitutional provision that the pres
ident, by ana with the advice and
consent Of rile senate shall appoint
But 4 Il had nttt that obstacle to con-
tend With. it would be onposed by
most, II net al. af Senator Works
associates In gaHmaiSing. Tho senator
is mistaken in supposing that the OK
ercise Of the appointing power is irh-
some to those who now have 1t. The
man who can recommend ann have
his recommendation heeded u.s. big
man, while he who can appoint ana
have his appointments confirmed is
still bigger. Senator Works has pro-
posed q good many vain things since
he began his service at washington,

appointments IS surely the va;nest Of

Evening Grain letter.

Chicago, July 23.-Wheat has held
within narrow limits closing practical
ly unchanged to a shade higher for the
day: Heavy export sales which were
nnally admitted today and strong bids
for cash wheat caused local bullish
sentiment, hut trade was light and fall
ed to carry the advance into new terri
tory and OH the upturn commission
houses sold enough wheat to cause a
material setback in prices. The prin-
clnal cause OF the large export buying
was the wet harvest in Europe and
continued wet weather in France.
There was heavy selling by, leading
merchandisers in the Minneapolis mar
ket. We continue to feel that on all
forced declines purchases are in order.
Corn-Rains over the northern half
or the corn belt resulted in loss of
3-Sc to 1-2c for the DAY. There was no
relief experienced in Kansas, Okla
homa, southern Missouri or the Ohio
valley and this fact together with pri-
vate advices from Nebraska indicated
insufficient rain fall was responsible
for the stubbornness in September.
Cash interests were good buyers of fu-
lures on the decline. We would hesi-
tate to press the selling side of corn
until general relief has been expert
enced throughout the belt.
Oats were relatively weaker than
corn. Cooler weather. a very indiffer-
ent cash situation and continued liber-
al primary receipts brought liquida-
tion of long stuff and considerable
new selling. We rather look for the
cash situation to drag further and on
all such declines we favor purchases.

THE INNOCENT CONVICT.

Duluth Herald: wisconsin is going
to experiment with law to compen-
safe innocent persons who have been
sent to prison by a miscarriage OF
justice.
The new law creates commission
composed of the governor and the
members of the state board of control
to handle this humane public work
Provision is made for the taking OF
evidence to establish the guilt or inno-
cence of petitioners. The compenssA-
tion to be awarded is to be not more
than $1,500 a year, and not more than
$4,000 in the aggregate. If, in the opin-
ion Of the, commission, the amount
permitted by law does not afford ade-
quate relief, it may present exception
al cases to the legislature for redress.
This law is human, modern. civiliz-
ed and just.
Even its provision cannot make
complete restitution to a man who has
unjustly suffered the ignominy of i'm
prisonment; but probably it is as far
as the law can go.

high market which is anticipated
While meat was selling at $40 per 100
pounds last October in Sydney 1t was
realizing only $425 up country, where
fats were plentiful. Strict tick quar-
antine regulations shut this beef out
of the Sydney market, but the meat

/ The Irrigation Record, the official
organ at the Yanco area, states that
steps are taken by the settlers to
form cooperative buying and selling
agency, to be known as the Murrum-
,bidgee Irrigation Settlers Co-opera-
tive society (Ltd.). It is anticipated
that this society will be an important
factor in the development of the Muir
rumbtdgee irrigation areas. from
which an enormous amount of produce
will be forwarded to the Sydney and
other markets, The settlers believe
that they will undoubtedly benefit by
handling the produce themselves, and
by combination in their buying will
be able to secure materials at a
cheaper rate than by individual effort.
AT the recent general conference in
Brisbane of the Queensland Farmers
union there was an almost unanimous
expression of opinion that the best
way to deal with present difficulties of
marketing farm produce was by CO.
operation among farmers themselves.
1t was decided to make the scheme as
nearly universal as possible, while not
interfering with such existing CO.
operative institutions as should not
choose to amalgamate in the new
organization, which has now come de-
finitely into existence under the style
Of the Associated Farmers Of Queens
land.
Great success has attended the op-
erations of shares farmers in the Al
bury district of New South Wales,
some netting $4,000 for the past years
work. A large area lis being set apart
for share farming, and. it looks as
though the area under cultivation, both
in this district and throughout the
Riverina, will be considerably in ad-
vance of any other year.

Bartlett Frazier Co.: From the view
point Of local opinion at least. the
