Every man who makes a real estate loan IN this State. or who
jsels his property is compelled to furnish an abstract, and as time
goes on and property changes hands a few times the matter of Sc
curing an abstract becomes more burdensome and expensive.
There is a simple way of rernedying this condition, and thereby
save farmers thousands of dollars each year and that is for our
legislature to pass a law adopting the Torrens system of land tt
ties. This is a matter which is deserving attention of our coming
legislature as much as any other one thing we know of. To fol-
low UP our present system Of obtaining abstracts every time a
man wishes to dispose of a piece Of property is folly. We hope to
see sore cnte1prising representative, who really wants to do
something of value for the people Of thestate 70 take up this mat
ter and push through a law adopting the Torrsns system.
We consider Samuel Gompers one Of the most dangerous men
in the nation today. He poses as a leader of the laboring men Of
the country and it seems that many of the organizations will
gain his point, and through him most Of our great strikes are in
augurated. A few such men as Gonnpers can create more hell
than thousands of good, fair minded men can keep down. If the
whole nation was composed of such men as Gompers, we predict
that it would be a seething caldron Of discomfort.
No one of the three members of MI. Wilson'S Mexican commits
sion can speak English. This is entirely in keeping with the
method which the administration has employed in selecting repre-
sentatIves in foreign service generally. A knowledge of scanty
English NJ has 2 IN some cases, served to recommend a man for a post
where no English is spoken at all-and, taken all in all, the chief
prerequisite to service in diplomatic corps has been a contribu~
ton, more or less generous, to the Wilson campaign fund of 1912.
We'll, well, the Democrats Of this state have at last gotten into a

the pie counter click" and the other ones are suuealing to Get I'm
