CARELESS LAWMAKING.
Chief Cause of Poor Laws IL Haste in
Passing and Their Great
Number.

In a recent address before the Amer
lean Bar association Senator Root told
the association that congress and the
several legislatures during the past
ten years had passed 62,0f4 laws. He
made "A plea for more careful work in
drafting laws and for less of what he
called sloppy legislation

Gently, TO consult the statute book Of
one of the states, which required 1900
pages to record it's new laws for 1913.

WHY NOT MAIL IT?

These days the modern farmer has us all
going in the matter of conyeniences.
He has the best things to eat. He owns his
automobile. He has the telephone. He has
rural mail delivery. He can even do his bank
ing by mail if he cares to do so, and some
times it's a pretty good plan to do so. We will
give prompt attention to anything that comes
to us through the mail. Do not carry around
checks that are given to you. Endorse them
in our favor and send them to us by mail and
we will promptly give you credit.

Paris, Oct. 6.-The Allies are moving their left wing slowly but surely northward and bear ing eastward toward the Bel gian frontier.

COAL BILL TO PASS
 AT ONCE

WASHINGTON, Oct 6.-The Sen. ate and House conferees have practi- cally agreed upon a report on the AL aska coal land leasing bill. Senator Henry l.. Myers, of Montana, is pre-. pairing the conference report, which will be submitted to the House confe- rees today.
 The Jones amendment, giving claim ants for coal lands the right to have the legality of their claims tried in the law courts will probably be defeated, but the provision that all claims shall be passed upon with the laws and regulations in effect at the time of the initiation of the claims may be re- tained,
 It is believed that the bill will be in the hands of the President for his signature this week.
 Senate Amendments Eliminated.
 The leasing bill approved by the conferees eliminates most of the Sen ate amendments and retains most of the House provisions. The clause that gave the original locators pre- ferential rights in leasing has been eliminated.
 The Senate amendment appropriating $1OO,OOO for a resurvey was retained.

ALLIES RAIDING
 GERMAN REAR

London, Oct. 6.-While never since it started has the Battle of Aisne, which has become vir- tually a siege of the German positions, shown such a dearth on news as is presented today, the 18th day of the struggle, one or two things have been made plain. The Allies have shown very strikingly that their forces possess greater mobility than their foes, and that their num- bers are probably greater. They have been able to raid the Ger man lines of communications, cut the railroads and destroy supply trains belonging to the artillery of the German artillery guard.
 That all this should have been accomplished today, and report ed to the newspapers in spite of the fact that the military infor- nation bureau has completely closed down on current news of ehe front is creating a feeling of expectancy on the part of the Lews-gatherers that important events are being planned.
