WILD cows n CATS.

Marquette. Mich, Jan. 2.-Wild
cows and wild house cats are proving
TO be troublesome tramps in Baraga
county this winter. Residents Of the
county have had to shoot cats in past
years but this is the first autumn that
men went cunning for cows.
A small herd Of cattle escaped
from the county infirmary last sum-
mer. The COW made their way into
the woods and decided to become
wild. After they smashed fences and
damaged other property, property
wne in that district also became
wild. 1t was decided to shoot the
miscreants. a.
Keeper Eirman, Of the infirmary.
led a party into the woods and after
two hours search located the cows.
The bovines fled at the approach of
the hunters but not being endowed
with the agility of sazelles, the ami
mails did not make satisfactory prog
ress. When the hunt vas over, the
bag totaled three dead cows.
Many Of the wild cats in this dis
trict r said to have been brought
to lumber camps to reduce the rat
supply. When the camps were closed
the tame cats were forced to shift for
themselves. Hunters and guides liv-
ing in this region declare that the off,
spring OF these cats can seldom be
tanned.

PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES.

Down in South Dakota they are
having some trouble in finding peo-
pie who will declare willingness to
be presidential candidates. The South
Dakota presidential primary law pro-
vides that there shall be placed ON
the primary ballots only the anne OF
those who have declared their candi-
dacy in a form prescribed in the state
law. Several men in both Of the great
parties have their supporters in South
Dakota. Several names have been
suggested for places on the primary
ballot. Some Of the men thus men
toned have declined absolutely to
participate in a contest in this man
ner. Others have delayed, and their
attitude is unknown. but apparently
they have no great enthusiasm for
this particular form Of contest. In one
or two cases actual filings have been
made as provided by law.
The whole idea of the presidential
primarie9raG it is applied in most
states is wrong. It may be said that
presidential candidates are born and
not made. They are born Of the de-
velopments Of the time and the ext
sencies Of the moment In relatively
few cases have men who were an
nounced candidates long in advance
OF the party conventions secured the
party nominations. There have been

THE BASIS OF CREDIT.

Americans have In personal interest
IN the affairs OF the new Czecho-
Sloyakian republic. We feel q sym
pathetic interest in the efforts of the
people Of that country to establish
and. maintain a government of their
own, and we deplore the suferings
which the war has brought upon
many of them. But we have no per-
sonal contact with them, and do not
feel that their affairs affect us very
intimately.
But the Czechs and Slovaks, like
the rest Of us. are members Of the
great world mass. have needs similar
to those of the rest OF us, must meet
those needs in the same, ann and,
In meeting them, must enter the great

JEW ANGLE ON PROHIBITION.

An effort b being made to bring
about tho immediate passage by the
New York state legislature Of q bill
ssClltxang the manufacture Of light
wines and bear and their sale. under
oertain Restrictions. When one OF
the supporters OF this movement
Waa asked how such q measure would
harmoniss with federal legislation On
the: subject under the constitutional
prohibition amendment. he replied
that tho amendment gives he states
and tho federal government concur
rent jurisdiction in this matter. and
The believed that a state legislature
was as competent as congress Is to
what - Intoxicating and what is
mot.
II this arrangement should be at
stempted. and the plan should be sus-
we should have to begin all
over again. for II tho states may
operate under less restrictive meas
ures than are prescribed by congress
We should merely return to the for
mar status of complete state author
ity vcr tho liquor question It is
quite safe to predict that the courts
Will not entertain n such inter-
probation Of the prohibition amend
ment.
That provision for concurrent jur-
isdictton, by the way, is which
is likely to need q good deaf Of I'M
tangling. We have yet to see q sat
isfactory statement Of what vas in
tended to be accomplished by it. OBJ
viousls. it was o intended that the
restrictions under which q state oper-
atcs should be any less rigid than
those provided by congress. If the
state wishes more rigid regulations
than the federal government pro-
vides, 1t need not go to the federal
constitution for authority. 1t has
now, as it has always had, ample au-
thority to make itself as bone dry as
1t wishes to be, except in relation to
importations from other states, and
under the legislation of the past few
years it's authority on this point has
been made absolute without any con-
stitutional amendment whatever.

He agreed to take a position close to
q runway and to ."stay there until
something happened" :
A few minutes after Beckett was
left alone, something did happen. A
wolf howled. Then camc an answer
ing response. Beckett did not know
how close the animals were. so he
dropped his gun and climbed a tree.
Within fifteen minutes, according to
the Chicago nimrod. three wolves
tracked him to the tree and remained
there until dawn.
'They made more noise than a
street carnival" explained the victim.
Beckett decided to return home,
without a deer.

HA1LBuT HAu1s ARE GooD.

Prince Rupert, b. c.. Jan. 2.-Fair-.
ly good hauls of halibut have been
reported off the coast and the big
prices paid for these fish may mean
unprecedented incomes for the fish
er1nen, ever though their catches are
less than normal. The fishing boat
Alaska arrived with $4,000 pounds
and the Liberty came in with $4,000
pounds of halibut. Other vessels re-
ported catches ranging from 5000 to
$4,000 pounds. Halibut has been
bringing 16 cents a pound to the
fishermen.
