A REPLY TO HALL-When we
state that the Catholics or the Cath
Ole church is not in politics we don't
mean that the members of that
church don't use their freeborn right
of American citizenship. But we do
mean and uphold our statement
that the Catholic church is not a po-
litical machine.
Mr.. Hall quotes His Holiness, Pope
Leo XIII, to prove his statements.
The deceased pontfff merely urged
every loyal member of the church to
exercise his duty at the ballot box.
And should any Catholic not do so he
would cease to be good citizen Of
the United States.
Mr.. Hall also lays his appreciation
upon the name of knights Of Mob
and Murder" as applicable to the
Knights of Columbus. would beg

ago by mandamus proceeding sought
to compel the county clerk to prepare
a notice of a primary election for the
nomination of candidates for judges
of the supreme, circuit and superior
courts, to be voted for at the coming
June election, but the supreme court
of Illinois, in deciding Mr.. Hoyne's pc
titiOn for a mandamus, has held that
the present primary law is inopera-
tive so far at least as judicial nomin-
atoms are concerned, and that judi
cial nominations of candidates to be
voted for at the June election shall be
made under the provisions Of the bal
lot act of 1891.
This in effect means that candi-
dates for circuit and superior court
judges to be voted for on the first
Monday in June shall be chosen by
conventions of the managers of rec
ognized political parties. According
Iy, the county central, committee of
each political party is empowered to
determine the manner and method
of holding judicial conventions, and
it will be strange, indeed, if better
men are not nominated in that way
than would probably be named at

NOMINATING JUpGEs.-Cer.

NOmINA INN JUDGESs-C6rJalQ
Chicago newspapers not only suggest
but advise that candidates for judges
at the coming June election be Sc
lected on nOn-partisan basis. Inas-
much, however, as the said newspa-
perS look with favor upon the Sug-
gestiOn that all of the present sitting
judges whose terms will expire in
June be re-nOminated and reelected
there is reason for the assumption
that they confound non-partisanship
with bi-partisanship, particularly in
view of the editorial declaration of a
great afternoon daily that while
some of the judges are hard workers,
others are lazy or incompetent and
do not do a fair amount of work"
What is nOn-partisanship? If we
be honest with ourselves we will adj
NIT that there is no such thing when
it comes to electing men to any kind,
of an Office. ''NOn-partisanship"
sounds lovely to the unsophisticated,
but applying the term to politics is
like calling a rose by another name
the fragrance will not change.
1t might be easy for candidates of
the so-called non-partisan variety to
prove to the newspapers or to the
Chicago Bar Assn that they have no
affiliation with either one of the old
political parties. Nethertheless, they
might be partisan in a more danger
Gus sense, as, for instance, neWspa-
per partisans, or partisans of the
clique of attorneys who run the pol
tics Of the Chicago Bar Assn. These
would be. the most vicious types of
partisanship.
Whether fortunately or unfortu-
nately, through an oversight Of some
kind, intentional or otherwise, there
is no provision in the primary law for
the nomination of judicial candidates.

Common Sense Health Rules

The best rules for human beings
yet devised says DR. II. w. Hill, of
the Minnesota public health ~associa-
ton, are necessarily very elemen-
tary:
In general a safe rule is to eat
plenty Of what is good wholesome
food as long as YOU have no trouble
in dlgesting it, and to avoid those
things experience shows disagrees
with you.
One should never select or neglect
any particular part of human diet
because it agrees or does not agree
with someone else. Eating is one
thing in which the individual is
wholly entitled to be a law unto
himself.

Hog Cholera Losses Useless Waste

Hogs to the numbers Of 239, 900
valued at So, 700, 900 were lost last
year to South Dakota farmers on ac-
count of the ravages of disease, ac-
cording to a report issued by the
Department Of Agriculture just
published. This IS an average death
rate of 230 per 1000 head. The
latest ens reports. which are dat
ed January lst. 1914, show that there
are 1,039, 900 head of hogs in South
Dakota and thev are valued at SILL
TAI 900 or $11 80 per head The
farmers Of the entire nation last
year lost 1000, 800 bead of hogs from
disease. Their total value was s75.-
600, 900 and the death rate l19 per
1000.
SERUM METHOD SAVING
According to figures given out by
DR.. S. M. Smith, Inspector in charge
of the Government Campaign of
Cholera Eradication, out of 2.420
hogs treated by himself and associ-
ates, the actual loss has been only
49, per cent IN Dawson county. this
state.
Because of the widespread condi-
ton of the Cholera in this county and
the necessity for saving as many
animals as possible. only animals in
infected herds have been yaccinated
as a preventative against disease.
The percentage of animals saved has
been ascertained by a secoLd exam
in%ation, made from three to four
weeks after the preventative treat
ment was given.
Many of the ANIMALS vaccinated
were in the last stages of the disease
and only a cure, which the serum
treatment is not claimed to be. would
have saved them. All of the hogs
treated had shown a rise In temper
AZURE and had all symptoms of com
ing down with Cholera. 1t is estim-
ated by DR.. smith that fully 80 per
cent of them would have died had
not the treatment been given. AS it
is less than Is per cent have died.

OLD TIME GAMES
NOT PRACTICED
School Children Turn To New
AmuSemcnts

IL bureau OF uuCdtl OF the ue-
partment of the interior has report
ed a recent investigation by the Rus
sell Sage Foundation of the amuse-
ments of the school children Of
Springfield. ILL.,. a city of moderate
size, and this is what they found:
Old time Games, such as prisoners
base, leapfrog. blindman's buff. bull
in the ring, hare and hound, and duck
on the rock. are NO longer favorites
on the school grounds of today. at
least with boys of Springfield. Less
than one-Ienth of l per cent. or about
| in 1000 in Springfield, mentioned
any of these games. The only activi-
ties reported by oyer 20 per cent IF
the boys were base ball, motion pic
ture shows, reading and kite flying.
Motion picture shows were equally
popular with the girls. according to
the report. The girls also INDUCED
in jumping the rope, roller skating,
and hide and seek. Standard games
like Il spy" London bridge. fox and
geese, button button. and blirdman's
buff are at the bottom of the list. in
dicating that they are played by
comparatively few girls.
An inquiry into the amusements of
the high school students showed that
practically all of the high school stu
dents attend the movies. Or the
boys SO per cent, and of the girls "a
per cent, attend the theater. The
boys who attend average once a
week. and the girls go almost as fire.
quently, The majority of the visits
to the theater are not made, in the
case of either sex. with any other
member of the family. Social dane
Ing is INDUCED in by 40 per cent of
the boys and AZ per cent of the girls.
A large number of the dances they
attend are held in hotels. In 81 per
cent of the boys homes ana in 48 per
cent of the girls homes parties for
young people are not held.
The repost gives a detailed recre-
alton program. Among other things
it advocates the establishment of a
department Of physical training and
play IA recommendation which is
now being carried out the purchase
of a public school athletic field Co
! operation between the board Of edu-
cation and me park board in the
utilization of park Fairgrounds. and
a system of school social events to be
carried on under tie direction of
the superintendent of school and
principals and partially maintained
by parent-teacher associations.
Other re commentators touching
the school are: School grounds to
be opened for play from the Closing
of the school to $50 or 6 p. m, and
on SATURDAYS, with paio teachers or
others equipped for such work in
charge; Fairgrounds to be kept
open and supervised during the
summer; competent Lers ms to be
assigned to athletic fields after

correspondents estimate, result
in a 16 per cent decrease in
wheat acreage this fall, as COM
pared with the 1915 crop grown
on 2,9O8, 800 acres.
OATS-The estimated yield on
oats, for the state, is 27.3 bush
els per acre, the yield by sec
tions being as follows: North
east, 28.9 bushels northwest,
26.4; central, 30; southwest,
24.5; southeast, 26.5. On an es-
timated acreage of 100000 acres
harvested, this would indicate a
yield of "a, 900 bushels. Es-
.pecially in the northern part of
the state, much of the oat crop
was not harvested, while there
have been additional losses of
oats in the shock, due to heavy
rains and overflows.
OTHER CROPS Many cor
respondents report excellent hay
crops, especially timothy, the
acreage of which is about 10 per
cent greater than last year. The
timothy seed crop, however, will
be only about 60 per cent. Clover
and alfalfa, while fine, have been
harvested with difficulty owing
