since the disastrous result Of the cleo

has been no permanent leader around

SETH THOMAS AND DEMOCRATS
Nevada Representative.


There are newspaper reports-on
democratic authority-that at the re-
cent democratic state convention at
Council Bluffs the democratic editors
of the state who were there assembled
had meeting and generally agreed TO
support Seth Thomas and none otner
for Judge Of the supreme court OF Iowa
in the election this year. The theory
of this agreement is that Mr.. Thomas
is a democrat and the only democrat
on the ticket for supreme judge and
that by means Of a concentration OF
democratic effort upon him he may be
elected. II he could be elected upon
his merits there would be very little
objection to his election and he might
be accorded a very considerable amount
of republican and non partisan support.
But the Thomas candidacy Is simply
preposperous. Mr.. Thomas may he
young man OF good ability. but most
certainly his candidacy itself amounts
to a conclusive denomination OF his
Interpretation Of proprieties. He was
not admitted TO the bar until the sum :
mer OF 1910, and in the four years since
that time he has. like other youn9
lawyers. been trying to establish him

THE BLOODHOUND JOKE.
Mannhosfar PHpaE

The greatest joke in all the para
phernalia Of criminal detection IL the
long cared, deep-voiced bloodhound,
which earned fctious reputation
as man hunter during slavery days
and still retains much of the prestige
bestowed upon him by Harriet Beecher
Stowe.
Last week a shocking murder was
committed near Hopkinton, in this
county. Two bloodhounds, said to be
expert trailers, were secured from
Waterloo. Taking the scent from
thicket in which the murderer lay con-
cealed for hours. they struck of thru
the woods. They passed and re-passed
the track Of the criminal. and at one
time were within six feet OF him. as
he lay concealed 70 the underbrush.

Farmers to Succeed Must Keen Books

Farmers to Succeed Must Keep Books In the current issue of Farm and Preside k. c. Witmyre writes an ar tlcle entitled How a Friend of Mine Figured the Profit" in which he tells the story of farmer who failed and later succeeded because of the radical change in his methods. This farmer invested S3,600 in the dairy business on a small farm near a town of 5000 population. He worked hard but in three years found that he was prac- tically failure. His failure was due
 largely to the fact that he had ne- glected to figure his costs and expen ses and to adjust his business. and particularly his purchases, collections and prices, to the exact conditions of his undertaking. He took the advice given to him, and Mr. Whitmyre con tinueS:
 Tn three years he has revoutioni- zed his business. He knows at the end of every day just where he stands II he has made profit of $1OO he knows it. He knows himself. and he knows his business. It's just case of building on a scientific basis.
 To-day we are hammering away at the farmer for the lack of conducting his farming in way to get the most  out of it. Yet the development of the farmer has been wonderful. The farmer who conducts his place on scientific basis is the man who rides to town in his automobile. He has learned what to plant, when to plant 1t, and how to plant is. He has ma chinery that saves him time and money. But he has learned the value of a strict watch on the financial end of his business? If he has he need not worry"

Cabajal seems to have understood from experience the nature of his job in Mexico and quit the job early. It seems to us there must be something far short of civilization about a country where it is necessary for a retiring ruler to flee for his life be- fore it is generally known that he is about to abdicate. How much better off is Mexico now than it was year or two ago. Well, it remains to be seen what Carranza will do when he is entroned.

The city of Fort Smith, with it's customary zeal for advancement, formed improvement districts and paved all streets of the city, as well as extended the sewer system to take in every section. The property own CTS are now, in five short years, pay ing for this improvement which runs into millions of dollars. Had Amend ment No II been in force in the Bor- der City ten years ago, it would have been possible to make the same inn provements, yet save the property owners much loss of sleep to deter mine how they would raise the large annual payments required of them. Under the municipal Bond Amend ment the property owners would have had at least 20 years to pay for their improvements. The citizens of Fort Smith are backing the proposed amendment solidly, knowing that it will be of great benefit to them in the future, for that is a city which is always making Improvements.

The decision of the United States Circuit Court in the International Harvester case stresses one point in particular, namely that the size of the alleged trust has much to do with whether or not it is violation of the sherman Act. The Harvester Com pany seems to have been able to con- trol so per cent or more of the trade in agricultural implements. It is not shown by the evidence though that they treated small competitors un- fairly, and hence it was engaged in no unjust competition. If this deci- sion is sustained the Supreme Court it. will show a remarkably strong light on the meaning of the Sherman Act, which so far, it must be admitted no one has understood well enougl. to be sure his is complying with it.

It cost $S05 per county to publish the I X R. acts and amendments in 1912. If Act No. 8 had been the law it would have cost only $552.50 per county.
