The state pays - for the pelt Of every
wolf cub brought In. but 1t pays $50 for
the pelt Of every full grown wolf. This
looks fair. but the trouble is. that lot
OF fellows are catching young wolves
and keeping them until they are full
grown. and then mulcting the county
for $50. It would look as IL there should
be some regulation to compel the trap
pers to bring in the wolf when cap
tured instead of waiting q year and
then collecting the higher bounty.

PAUPERIZING A GOOD NAME.
lSioux City Tribune.l

Legitimate business OF me country
is now reaping the fruits Of worshiping
false gods. Thomas D. Jones and Paul
Warburg. two nominees Of the presi
dent for positions on the federal re-
serve board, have been held up in the
Senate because of their business and
financial connections. Not word has
been uttered against the personal
character OF either Of them. Even the
corporal lions with which they are con-
nected have never been found guilty OF
anything criminal. But they belong TO
thai section of commercial, industrial
and financial activity known as big
business.
They would probably make very
desirable and useful members of the

THE CONVENTION.

Even making a platform is today
largely a perfunetory service. Sena-
tor Cummins has been nominated, and
his platform is known. Governor
Clarke has been nominated, and what
he stands for has been proclaimed in
every county in the state. The people
make their platform when they name
their candidates, and all the convention
can do, If it does not plot mischief will
be to put in formal phrase what the
party is already committed to-
There will be large and genial
gathering of men tomorrow. and they
will go thru the old forms with a show
of interest. Some Of the old spirit may
be revived as the contest over the au-

tons. But. on the whole it will all
be perfunctory. merely sham battle.
