same level. There are roads worthy of the name,
the soil is not capable producing enough to give
proper support to a family and markets can not be
reached. The result Is poor people, poor schools,
poor churches. However, many Of the industries of
other days survive there. Spinning and weaving
are carried on generally and the thought and habits
are those Of the long ago. BY many of deeply relg
ious nature moonshnging is thought to be an honor
able occupation The fact that moonshine brings
SIG to $40 quart and is the main means of COM
handing money doubtless contributes to the belief
in its defensibleness
This situation is of concern not alone to the states

A DISADVANTAGE PEOPLE.

While nation believe it duty to give
aid to backward peoples. giving government to the
Philippines and sending mssir aries to all parts Of
the earth, we have disadvar lged peoples right at
home. Among them the inhabitants Of the Blue
Ridge and Cumberland ranges Of mountains in Ken
lucky and Tennessee. The condition of these peo-
pie. of the purest blood in America. has excited
sympathy and much has been done to lift them out
of their century-old environment, but much remains
to be done.
President Hutchins of Berea college, an insttu-
ton that has carried much light to the mountains,
says there 100000 of these backward people
on the slopes and in the valleys of the Southern
Highlands. The ancestors of these people went into
the mountains through poverty or exploration. and
the hills have held them ever since at about the

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
CITY RABBIT.
BY Howard B. CARTS

Do you remember the country
rabbit, about whom l told you last
night? How he came to live near
Uncle Wiggily, and didn't know
how to hoist an umbrella over his
head when it rained? Well, this is
a story about a different kind Of
bunny.
One day, when Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy was sweeping the front
porch of Uncle Wiggily's hollow
stump bungalow, she looked up the
woodland path and there she saw
a very stylishly dressed rabbit hop
ping along.
He had on a light Palm Beach
suit, a white straw hat. red neck
tie, and he carried a thin little
cane, about as big as the straw
you get in your ice cream soda.
my good land!" exclaimed
Nurse Jane. IT wonder who that
is? l hope he isn't coming here,
for my tail Is still in curl papers!"
But the fancifully dressed rabbit
was headed straight for the hol-
low stump bungalow and. reaching
it, he stopped. stuck one round
eyeglass up in his eye and said:
Pardon me. But could you tell
me where Mr.. Uncle Wiggtly
Longears lives?"
I'm him-I mean she lives here

THE BUDGET AMENDMENT.

Joint Resolution No. of the legislature sub
hitting a constitutional amendment to the voters
which inaugurates real budget system in the state
should be adopted
One of the most serious defects of our present
system is that the governor takes office In the
davis Immediately preceding the meeting of the leg
isature Everything connected with his office Is
new to him. He is crowded with interviews relating
to appointments. He has neither time nor oppor-
tunlty to know the financial needs of the various
departments institutions and agencies of the state
government before the meeting of the legislature.
AS a result the appropriations are usually made by
that body without any matured advice from the
governor.
AS further result, all manner OF appropriations
are asked for and pressed for by lobbies There Is
little system to our public expenditures.
This amendment delays the meeting Of the leg
slattre until the first Tuesday In February. 1t adj
vances the date of taking office by the governor to
the first day of December. AS consequence two
full months intervene between the inauguration of
the governor and the meeting of the legislature in
stead of the two weeks under the present system.
This gives the governor time to investigate thor
oughly the financial needs of the state.
Every department of the government except the
legislative, is required to file with the governor
statement of its receipts and disbursements for the
previous years. together with an estimate of its
needs for the succeeding two years.
From this data revenues and expenditures,
the governor is required to draft a general appro-
priation bill containing his recomme ndations for APP
preparations, and to submit 1t to the legislature.
This bill can be amended by the legislature by
making reductions but increases be made
Special appropriations be made only after
this general appropriation bill has been acted upon
The purpose of this amendment is to place upon
the governor the responsibility Of making careful
survey of probable income and to equitably distrb
ute that income according to his judgment of the
need This bill would effectualy prevent "log
rollinghat is the youvote mine and -Ill-vote-
for-yours method of spending the states money. 1t
will distribute the money merit rather than upon
pull"
This amendment is very important to the eco
nomcaI administration of the government. 1t will
save the taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars per
year.
Every voter has dollars and cents interest in
the success Of this amendment.
The electors should support 1t. II there were
no other for every taxpayers presence at the
polls on September 90 this carefully considered
device to introduce business methods into the state
government would afford reason enough.
A budget system has saved many families from
pauperism No modern business be operated
profitably without it. The state stands surely in
need of it.
Such a system saved Illinois $4,000, 900 year
without decrease of efficiency. BY all means let
New Mexico adopt it.

peered over the top of a sassafras
bush, Mr.. Longears suddenly
cried:

rabbit. II never run where |

It's considered quite vulgar to run,

"Well," spoke Uncle Wiggily, as
he took a tight hold of his rheu-
matism crutch, you don't have to
run II you don't want to. But If
you don't run the Woozie Wolf,
who is coming. may nibble your

didn't you say SOP" cried the city
rabbit, and, throwing away his
cane, like straw in soda water
glass he began to hop and skip.
But as he wasn't used to hurrying
he couldn't go very fast. -.
"Ill get youl I'll get you"
howled the wolf. coming along
behind.
"Oh, my dear chap! Please don't
be so impolite" begged the city
rabbit. But the wolf only laughed
and said:
"You wanted an adventure and
you're getting it all right!
ooh, Uncle Wiggily! Save me!
Save mel" begged the city rabbit,
and with that Mr.. Longears stop
ped, turned back and threw so
many stones at the wolf that he
made the bad chap run away. The
city rabbit was all out of breath
and his Palm Beach suit was In
shreds and tatters. but he was
saved.
Thank you very much. Uncle
Wiggily,' he said. II thought you
small town rabbits didn't know
much, not being stylish like city
chaps, but | see you are good for
something after ALL" And after

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
THE SENATE AND SECRET DIPLOMACY.
(From the MINNEAPOLIS Tribune.)


In an editorial in a Canadian paper the point was
recently that the liberal statesmen of the
British empire should represent Britain at the COM
ing Washington conference. The editorial stressed
the veto power resting in the hands OF the United
States senate, What would it matter. 1t was asked
even if Lloyd George should gain some advantage
from the American delegation? The senate would
promptly veto the arrangements, and NOBODY WouId
be the gamer. "
States senate now occupies unique position before
the world. 1t is the sentinel of the new order In
diplomacy. No matter which way world conferences
twist or sauirm, the United States senate is there
force to be reckoned with wall that must be sur
mounted. No world" arrangements can now be maze
which do not include America and the American
consent is not to be had If the senate disapproves
1t is safe to say that the most impacable enemy
that secret diplomacy faces is the United states
senate In its hacyon days, secret diplomacy never
had to render any accounts to parliamentary body
European statesmen have been vested with plenl-
potentiary powers they exchanged treaties with
one another. European peoples might be entirety
in the dark to what their statesmen had commltteo
them to; that all part of the days work. The
system wrong. but no opposition was strong
enough to upset 1t.
The senate amazed the world two years ago by
showing its teeth at the system. The diplomats had
met in the usual fashion. had played poker with each
other in the dark for many months and finally had
emerged with treaty which signed by almost
all the chief nations of the world. The senate how
ever shook the world to Its foundations by refusing
to accept a document prepared in such fashion.
large part of the work of the conference was
automatically undone, and must now be done over
again.
Canadian opinion is right in pointing out the
practical futility of attempting to repeat the per-
formances of the past. World congresses might as
we'll abandon the practices of secret diplomacy now
as any time. Nothing be done which the United
States senate will not review; and the senate has
shown that 1t is bulldog which has the old system

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Sept. Trading in
wheat broadened considerably and
with limited offerings prices ad-
vanced sharply and at the top
showed s cents over the inside
figures made early on the board of
trade today. Houses with eastern
and seaboard connections were
free buyers and the markets ac-
ton was taken as confirming the
recent trade opinion that any in
crease in the outside interests
would result In sharp advance.
A private crop report showed 740,-
100000 bushels of all wheat for
the country, or 100000 bushels
less than the government August
report, had considerable influence
on sentiment as it indicated a sur
plus of under 100000 bushels on
the basis Of normal consumption
and carry over. The close was
strong with wheat 4Ac to 4&c
higher; corn UP 9sc to 1hc and
oats NC to INC higher. Corn
showed fair activity and averaged
higher. September showed more
strength than the deferred deliv-
cries, selling at 12c over the De-
cember, with buying Of September
and selling of December by cash
interests as feature.
Oats were active and higher with
other grains. September gained
slightly on December.
Provisions were easier on scat
tered selling with deliveries of
1000, 900 pounds Of lard and o.
900, 900 pounds Of ribs on Septem-
Der contracts.

The August review of the federal
