WHAT GOV. LoWDENs CONSOLIDATION BILL
MEANS-THE AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT .
This is the second Of a series Of
stories by the staff correspondent of
The Day Book on Gov. Lowden's
commission consolidation bill.


Springfield, lII., Feb. 2O.-None of
the departments in Gov. Lowden's
commission consolidation bill are as
revolutionary as that of the depart
ment of agriculture, creation Of
switch aboishes the state board of
agriculture.
Members of the latter board made
big threats soon after Inauguration
Of what they would do to that part
of the governors bill which abolished
their board. A committee was ap-
pointed to wait upon Gov LOwden,
and this committee later reported it
was not opposed to the plan. The in
ference received after the conference
was the governor plainly told the
committee he intended to keep his
campaign pledges, and inasmuCh as
abolition of the board of agriculture
was part of the consolidation it could
be taken for granted the board would
be abolished.
Whether the board of agriculture
considers itself annihilated by the bill
or intends to make a fight in the SEN
ate committee this week is a ,mOOted
question.
RumOTs were current about the
assembly this afternoon that great
changes were expected in the bill
when it comes from the senate COM
mittee. Other than some slight
changes in salaries, close. followers
of the measure believed the measure
would go back to the house in much
the same form as it was passed.
The duties of the department of
agriculture follow:
1. To exercise the rights, powers
and duties vested by law in the board
of live stock commissioners, its
officers and employees, except under
the act regulating the Dracticp of We

Those Poor English Provincials

Lloyd George, the British premier,
wants to buy out all the liquor inter-
ests In the United Kingdom and place
the sale of all liquors under govern
ment control. This measure would
have been carried through parliament
last year except for the great expense
that it would have incurred, just when
the exactions of the war were drain
ing every resource OF the kingdom.
The idea it seems to convey Is that
the sale of liquor hurts only when it
Is abused, and the other that IL citi-
zen may not be deprived of his prop
erty except through duo process of
law.
What a poor stupid provincial peo-
pie those English are. In this country
we are troubled by none of those old
fashioned ideas. All that is really re-
quired is to pay some churchman to
draft a bill to tell people what they
shall eat and not drink, and II any
taxpayer has invested his money in
something which this solon does not
like, why conflscate it-and d-n
the expense when the morals Of II
community are to be repaired.

Aptitude.

My observation In life leads me to
believe that nearly every human being
has nm aptitude-that is. there is some
thing that he or she can do better than
all other things. One In hundred.
again. hns remarkable aptitude. and
I'm one In II thousand this aptitude Is
developed into something extraor1i-
nary. II then amounts to natural In
sight and constitutes genius. Now. a
perfect system OF education. II 1t could
be devised. would be one which. while
developing to the fullest extent all the
faculties. would allow free play to the
special aptItude.-From "The Autobiog-
raphy of Charles Francis Adams"
