continuing until early in June. On

an education gained by toiling over
rough primevai roals, young Cullom
became successfully student at
Mount Morris Academy, a country
school-teacher and lawyer, being ad-
mitted to the bar at Springfield in
1855.
When he became city attorney of
Springfield he launched upon a politi-
cal career which, for record of un-
broken service, is unchallenged as ex-
ceeding that of any other American.
Among the first political experiences
was the novelty of being elected and
defeated at the same election. He was
elected to the legislature and defeated
as an elector on the Fillmore ticket.
Then came the historic Lincoln and
Douglas debates and Cullom's intimate
association with Lincoln, whom he
followed into the ranks of the Repub-
lican party. He presided over the
session of the Illinois house at which,
after Fort Sumter had been fired upon,
Stephen A. Douglas appeared and made
his dramatic plea for the preservation
of the Union. During the first of Presi-
dent Lincoln's second term Mr.. Cullom
came to the National House of Repre-
sentatives and began work which
was practically interrupted only when
he served two terms as Governor of
Illinois. Lincoln was assassinated
soon after Cullom entered Washington
life, and the young legislator was a
member Of the committee that demand
ed the return of the Presidents body
to Springfield. Then when the coun.
try began to recover from what seem
ed a final blow and the reconstruction
set in with the Thirty-ninth Congress
Cullom began his service. with the IL
linois delegation, and with such col
leagues in Congress as Logan, Went
worth, Blaine, Conkling and Hayes
and Garfield, both of whom attained
| the Presidency.
After six years in the house. during
which he had seen the impeachment
of Andrew Johnson and taken part in
the making of a most critical period
of American history, he returned tc
/ Illinois, vowing never again to take
office, only to become Speaker of the
legislature and later Governor.
Cullom's career as a United States
Senator began in 1888, when he resign

DEATH OF FORMER SENATOR
CULLOM ENDED FIFTY YEARS
CONTINUOUS PUBLIC SERVICE

Washington, Jan. 29.-The death of
former Senator Shelby Moore Cullom
of Illinois, in Washington, Wednesday,
ended fifty years of continuous public
service that had made him figure in
American national life and brought
him into official relations with every
President from Abraham Lincoln to
Woodrow Wilson. President Taft once
said of him:
'Why, here's my old friend Uncle
Shelby; he comes nearer connecting
the present with the days of Washin-
ton than anyone else whom know"
AS plowboy, driving his fathers
oxen over the fresh prairie of Illinois,
he had know and talked with survivors
of the Revolution, and on the rugged
foundations of a life begun in pioneer
hardships, of family of twelve chill
dren, had built career that took him
to the Illinois legislature as a member;
Speaker of the assembly, two terms in
the Governors chair, service in the
national house of representatives and
thirty consecutive years in the United
States senate.
His nearest living contemporary
probably is Uncle Joe" Cannon, whose
senior he was some seven years by
birth and some three years in national
service.
Andrew Jackson was President of
the United States when Mr.. Cullom
was born in 1929.
During the year 1929" Mr.. Cullom
recently wrote to illustrate the epoch
In which he began life. "the crown of
Great Britain descended from King
George w to King William "; that
reign passed away and I have lived to
see the long reign of Victoria come
and go; the reign Of King Edward
come and go, and the accession of
King George v. Charles v ruled in
France, Francis | in Austria, Frederick
William III in Prussia, Nicholas l in
Russia, While Leo XII governed the
Papal states, the Kingdom of Italy not
yet having come into existence. The
United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland had not yet population of "a
100000 all told. No man who had not
served his country in some capacity
in the Revolutionary war had been
elevated to the Presidency of the Unit
ed States, and this was the case until
1843."

LATE PLANTED COTTON
AND THE BOIL WEEvIL

Occasionally the theory is an
nounced that the boil weevil can be
controlled by late planting better than
by early planting of the crop. The
Bureau of Entomology has conducted
many experiments to determine
whether late planted cotton will pro-
duce a satisfactory crop. The re-
suits have all been negative. The
advocates of late planting, however,
have contended that the experiments
of the department have not been con-

THE PRooREssIvEs AND
THE DEMOCRATS

The Progressive party of course
has no desire to remain a minority
organization. They want to win and
do things. not merely register a pro
test or vote in the air.
The theory of the Progressives has
been that they could draw from the
Democrats. They have declared that
the time has come for a crosswise
split through the old parties. taking
the progressive" element from each +.
Their platform being SO radical, 1t
is evident enough that they have
drown about all the votes that can
be had from the Republicans. Hence
they must draw from the Democrats,
or forever remain third party.
The typical Democrat is as rock
ribbed and iniexible a specimen as
ever was found in our politics. The
old Jeffersonians are as mistaken as
granite hills. 1t Is not for nothing
that they used often to be called the
'unterrifed. In many country
towns 1t has happened that there
would be only one or two Democrats.

lican neighbors. Yet these Demo
Gratis march up to the polls year by
year with faces of flint, and put in
the same old ticket, without study
ing the developments OF the times to
see whether anything had happened
since their fathers died.
About all the floating element Of
the Democratic party went over to
Roosevelt in 1912. Those that were
left were the regulars and the hard
heads. The Progressive party could
not dislodge them, If 1t pounded away
hundred years.
Brother Progressive, we must get
closer together, II we are ever to
shake the grip Of the Democracy!
The Republican party has shown a
willingness to compromise. Is 1t not
time to drop the impossible task of
building up a winning third organic
alton, and come back to the only pc.
litical party that ever succeeded in
beating the Jeffersonian democracy
