From business standpoint, the assignment
of allotments and quotas of the great sums of
money which are to be raised by the people for
their Government are both necessary and de-
srable; but from the standpoint of the peoples
response to theinvitation to contribute, quotas
are to be regarded only as a minimum, and any
community which construes the allotment as
the maximum,-which makes no effort to eX-
coed the quota-n1isses entirely the spirit Of the
Governments appeal.
Quotas were never intended as anything ex-
oept the estimated proportion according to which
the people should contributes proportion ar
rived at on the basis either of wealth or popula-
ton or some popularity acceptable basis. The
amount of Government loans has commonly been
named as the minimum and the Government has
never let up in its effort to get an oVersubscrip-
ton. sensible appreciation of this fact leads
inevitably to the conclusion that the allotments
named are merely the obligations Of the commu-
mites: the opportunity to demonstrate beyond
all question of doubt a community's honest pa

The county was under an obligation to show

What has been done is quite in keeping with
the mood of the people here as respects the

Thought of self is fast disappearing; personal

the non-useful is being cut from the world of

Oh! so hard to see her die

10 suffering from . broken collar
bone and exposure as a result of an
automobile accident last night three

ing. The automobile overturned

Rice was pinned uder the car.
After lying in the wreckage partly
unconscious for about FIVE hours.
Blevins sufficiently realized his po-

Sanders to the door, muttered briefly
that there was another man out
there, and fell unconscious on a
couch. Investigation by = member
of the Sanders family discovered
Rice pinned under the car. The
body was lifeless, but from a ex-
animation it is believed death was
at least partially the result OF ex-
posture. One of Blevins' feet was
frozen. Blevins declines to tell
where they secured the liquor, say
Ing he had got himself in bad and

That both amendments to the con-
stitution of the state, the first relat-
ing to alien voters and the second
f.r constitutional convention, have
carried in the face OF unofficial re-
turns obtainable is shown by the
fact that u Of the SO counties Of
the state show 4 total vote on Unit
de States senator of 1858. These
same counties show that this is
about 5 per cent less than the total
vote cast, which would make the
total vote about 10000
In these counties the alien amend
ment received l03,347 votes. while
the constitutional convention ques-
ton received l02,05S. In order to
insure the adoption of the amend
ments, on the vote shown above in
these counties the affirmative vote
w.uld have to be about 1880. The
alien amendment has received $500
more than necessary, while the other
amendment has $500 more than re-
quired to carry it.
1t Is not belived that the Il eoun-
ties remaining will make any diff
ference to the result.
The returns so far, which include
the soldier vote on the above, also
show that Douglas county cast a
