Pres Wilson wants the chief exeeu-
tive of the country to have the right to
make up the proposed budget Of the
nation and to submit the budget to
Congress for approval or amendment.
The chief executive of the United
States is already too much loaded down
with business and cares, and it would
seem to be too much of a contract to
require him to keep his finger on all the
departments in such a way as to give
him an intelligent idea of what each
department needs to carry on the work
for year. The government ought to
have national budget but the budget
ought to be prepared through some
other agency than that OF the presi-
dent, no matter who the president of
the United States happens to be.

The South Dakota Democrats having
invited him to partake Of the third cup
of coffee, it is up to President Wilson
to make some definite statement con
corning himself and his intentions re-
garding the presidency. 1t seems al
most out Of the question that a man
who has received such sharp warning
from the state of his health should de-
sire again to be confronted with four
more years Of great mental and ply
steal exertion, providing, Of course, that
such a term in the White House should
be considered by him to be possible. In
view Of that sharp warning there is lit
tie likelihood that President Wilson
will again seek the presidency, despite
the action Of the South Dakota Demo
Gratis and the action which is expected
to be taken by the Democrats of other
states.

action seems to have been taken a full

our woopEN HIGHwAY BRIDGES

OUR WOODEN HIGHWAY BRIDGES.
There are several old covered high
way bridges between Barre and White
River Junction and people who are ac-
customed to use the highway while
operating heavy cars have sometimes
wondered whether the structures were
safe for the traffic they are subjected
to from spring to early winter. The
answer as to one bridge at least came
in the smashing of the small bridge
near South Royalton village and the
killing Of the driver of the large truck
on Wednesday afternoon. 1t is said
that the truck, though heavy itself,
was not heavily loaded, that is, not
heavily loaded according to modern es-
Inmates of carrying capacity, there be-
ing three tons Of granite aboard. The
town Of Royalton has been particular
" unfortunate in having accidents OF
this nature, because another covered
bridge in the north part Of the town
was smashed in similar manner a few
years ago by loaded auto truck, the
vehicle going down through into the
river and carrying person to death.
1t seems to be time for the replacing
Of these bridges That applies to the
covered bridge on South Main street in
Barre, through which the truck that
| figured in Wednesdays disaster must
have passed on its southwark trip be-
| fore reaching South Royalton.

BOOZE IN CHICKEN COOPS.
CoOps and an Auto Truck With Fake
Bottom Used for Transportation

Creston, Ia.-Sheriff J. H. Keith
of Taylor county, today brought to
this city, two Italians whom he had
captured near Bedford, Ia. The men
were from Omaha and were driving
to that city from st. Joseph, Mo-, in
a truck.
The truck was loaded with empty
chicken coops and for some time
the sheriff was up against it. He
suspected that booze was somewhere
but he could not find it. He was
about to give it up when it was dis
covered that the chicken coops had
false bottoms and here booze was
found.
Searching still farther, he located
a false bottom in the bed of the
truck and going into this he found
more booze.
In all 44O pints of liquor were
found.
The men were arranged before
Commissioner John G. Hunt, who
continued their hearing until to-
day.

REVELATION OF A COOTIE.
He Hath No Tail, No Wings, But
Hath Something With Which lie
Doth Bite.

Our scripture reading this morning
is taken from the last chapter of La
mentations:
The flea, the bedbug and the cootie
these three and the greatest CT these
is the cootie, which is sometimes call
ed the pants rabbit or the toto or the
seam squirrel.
Blessed is the man who Iiyath not
with the curse of coolies uIon him
Tor verify l say unto you the cootie
Is the most loathsome IF all beasts.
He feedeth himself uDon ones spinal
column or upon ones toe or upon
ones nose or upon any portion of
ones anatomy which he deemeth fat
and succulent enough for his sus-
tenance.
He hath no tail, he hath no wings.
but, beloved, he hath something with
which he doth bite. Yea, verify lie
would destroy the character of even
angels for he causeth men of pure
spirit and an humble heart to swear
with much profanity.
He driveth good men to drink and
forceth them to the river for they are
Ia sore anguish and seek to escape
from the unmerciful enemy. He
causeth them to rend their garments
In righteous rath for 10! upon one
shirt alone reposeth ten thousand.
The cootie hath great unhealthful-
ness and surviveth in the midst of
dire calamity and striveth with great
thriftiness. He increaseth with great
speed and reareth huge families of
coolies with marvellous skill.
When he findeth a fair lady cootie,
he setteth up housekeeping and from
thence on, l say unto you, is the life
Of his animated house one of dire
misery.
Oh, lift up thine eyes and shed
salt tears for the cootie hath taken
up his abode among US. Oh, look up
on thy garments with distrust for
the cootie abideth therein.
But / say unto you lift up thy
voice in loud rejoicing, clap your
hands all ye people and shout in a.
voice Of triumph for behold the de-
lousins machine is come to deliver
the rld.-Anonymous.

EASY GOING TREATMENT.
Many Feel That Present Method of
Dealing With Young Offenders
Too Easy.

There is constant complaint of
acts Of mischief and destruction per-
petrated by boys, yet the same
are rarely followed up. Many people
feel that the present method of deal
ing with young offenders is too easy.
Modern criminal law practice has
been greatly modified by the pro-
baton idea. For a great many first
offences, a man may be let off with
, out sentence for the time being
anyway, with warning as to his
future conduct. In many states the
probation system is established, by
which an offender is visited regular
ly by court officer to see if he is
behaving himself.
Now on the whole this method is
retaining many men who have
, shown a tendency toward drunken
ness or other misdemeanors. But
, the general spirit of lenient treat
ment of first offences is not always
handled with judgement.
A police officer in a neighboring
city complained the other day that
it worked out about like this: 1--WE
have lot of rough kids here" he
said, who commit many depredat-
ions. If they do some act of des-
truction, and you bring them into
court, nothing is done to them. The
judge will talk to them like father,
but that does no good. The kid
looks very humble, and promises to
do better and all that"
Then when he gets out he brags
how they didn't dare to do a thing
to him, and how you can commit
all kinds of kid pranks and get away
with it. His experience incites the
whole crowd to keep on the way they
are going, and they get worse and
worse"
1t would seem a very useful thing
when a boy commits some serious
, mischief, to impose a small fine on
him, even if it was his first offence.
It wouldn't hurt him bit to make
him pay a few dollars. Whether ne
or his parents paid it, it would cause
some serious thinking.

LARGEST HOG IN WORLD.
His Pigship Resides Near Algona
Iowa, Weighs 100 Pounds.

Modestly answering to the name
'The Great Wonder l Am" there
lives and flourishes one mile west of
,,Algona the biggest pig in the world
Because the pig measures seven feet
from the end of his nose to the end
of its tail and while as it now weighs
LOO pounds this claim has never
been disputed.
The owner, James Vipond, tho he
bought the animal several years ago
for 1925 has refused one offer of
$4,000 and says he could not afford
to sell him for $4,000.
In spite of the notoriety this ami
NAL has attained he still remains a
good old-fashioned animal. He does
not go in for these new-fangled
, things, such as serum and baths and
blue ribbons. His owner fondly be-
lieVes he could have all the blue rib
bons going, but The Great Wonder !
Am does not care for travelling and
has never been exhibited at single
fair or show. People come to see him
however, and there is hardly a day
goes by that some visitors do not call
to see this priceless treasure.

Was LAST Polish Kina.

In 1898, on the 18th of April, STAN
lslaus Poniatowski, the last king 81
Poland, died. Ponfatowski assembled
the Polish throne in 1854. The COM
ditiOn Of Poland required a strong
man on the throne to keep the country
from ruin, and Stanislaus lacked Tie
necessary strength and craftsmanship.
Russia, Prussia and Austria divided
this kingdom among them and the de-
posed king retired to Petrograd on IA
pension, where he died in 1898.
