It not the telephone case alone which has started
the clamor against the public service commission. It is
rather a climax to a series of decisions in which the public
has felt that it has not received a square deal, from
its servants. The matter has been simmering for years,
and it is felt that it is time to make a cnange.
To make the commissioners appointive would undoubt
edly be an improvement provided the occupant of the
executive chair was big enough to fill the job, but with
a weak sister in the office conditions might become even
worse than they are now. We are still of the opinion

Those who have the privilege of knowing Senator
Patterson are fully aware that he will stand upon every
plank upon which his platform is builded should it be
his privilege to be selected as chief executive. Back of
his pre-nomination promises is a rugged character and
an honesty of purpose wheh would make the fulfillment
his earnest, conscientious endeavor.

Smuggling in "Merrie England."
Smuggling and illicit trading were
common enough in England a century
ago. according to the journals of the
day but more often than not the sub
rosa transactions were in things to
eat This was especially true of
game, which was very scarce in town
and seldom offered for sale. That is,
it was not offered openly except at
holiday time, but, none the less, nare
and game birds appeared on many din
ner tables.

Muskrats force themselves occasion

their habit of entering a bungalow and
ambling slowly round the rooms, talk-

Although ratlike, the muskrat Is not
really a rat, but a large shrew, pro

which it emits at will.

shoddy kind is expensive at any price. You may be able
to save a few dollars by placing your order with an es
tablishment where none of the elements of good printing

Like a shoddy suit of clothes it is a constant reminder
that you did not get your money's worth, irrespective of
what the price may have been.

Tumbleweed.
If one crosses the western prairies
of the great Arkansas valleys, and
happens to be there in the fall, dur
ing a high wind, one may see a very
strange sight. Antelopes, rabbits,
prulrie dogs, and sometimes even
herds of cattle racing along the plains
pursued by strange balls, nearly as
tall as a man! These balls, when
seen a little nearer, seem to be masses
cf sticks stuck closely together. The
plant that forms these balls is called
the tumbleweed. Botanists call it
Cycloma plalyphyiium. u De.oiiBB u
