An editorial, under the above title, has been published in The State Journal in which the editoi, Mr. Fields.undertakes to prove to hissatifactionthatrotationinoffice is unwise in policy. The fallacv of his argument is too apparent. He argues that because the con stitution of the bill of rights doe 3 not expressly prohibit an officer from succeeding himself, except in the case of the Governor of the State, that therefore rotation in office for all other officers ex cept the Governor is wrong. The fallacy of such an argument could be pointed out by a ten year old school boy. If the founders of our State daemeJ it wise to place a provision in the constitution requiring the rota tion in office of the Governor who is supposed to control the policy of the state, it would be more logical to reason that a rotation in office of the other officers of the state would natu rally follow. They are all mem bers of the same body politic and if a new head is necessary to give new vigor to the office, then new limbs would increase the efficiency of the head. The editor of the Journa 1 , af ter convincing himself that his premises support his conclusions, goes on to state in his second paragrapn that "the supreme consideration is the public good." What he evidently had in mind, reasoning in the way he started out, was to prove that the su preme consideration of his arti cle is |o continue in office the present incumbents for life and not for sixteen years only. The average life is only thirty-three years and the present incumbents have only served one half of the allotted time. It is a reflection upon the intelligence of the peo ple of this State to argue direct ly or indirectly that the offices of the State cannot be filled by plenty of other men just as efficiently as by the present in cumbents. It is sad, but true nevertheless, tnat age detracts from the usefulness of us all, and in office as well as in private affairs we all must give way to the younger and more active blood. If the present incumbents of the offices cannot live with out the emoluments of the of fice, it would be better for the State to pension them and elect active officers to fill their places. We are naturally biased by our surroundings, and the editor of the Journal, living in an atmos phere where life tenure in office is the Eole thought, is to be ex cused for his conclusions and for reasoning in a circle. The constitution provides for frequent elections. If the same officers are to be re-elected why this expense and trouble? It is natural for men in office to want to continue in office, but the public and not the men in office should be the judge whether they are to be retained. It is a well known fact that the cry that the men in office should be continued in office is always raised by the men in office and their little circle directly interested just before every election in order to keep off other candi dates. Another premise laid down by the editor is "no private ambi tion should be allowed to stand in the way of the public good." The premise is sound, but again his conclusion inferentialy drawn therefrom is wrong Is it not the private ambition of the pres ent incumbents In office that in spires such articles? Are the people of the state to be told by the office holders that they are the only suitable ones to hold the offices, and if another who, for sixteen years, has worked and voted for the men in office should aspire to fill their places, is be to be told by the officers holding the offices that it is pft- vate ambition and against the public good? Just how long the DeopJU will permit themselves to be fooled by such arguments remains to be seen, but sooner or later the people will rise up in power - and -determine for themselves what is for the pub lic and who shall hold the offices. Short, - JV — T 7*~~': ' ' I Pithy Stops X By 9ur GOODS BOX WHITTLER Gee Whoa Haw. Mr. Heditor, I wsnt to farm a little bit on paper. You see I Call yuu 4 'heditor." It that docs not fit you, lam sorry. An edi tor what does not put his head and heart into his work, has missed his calling. Without this, his personality will be crowded out by a multiplicity of lifeless words and sentences, and by it, he loses his grip on the minds and hearts of his read ers. Gee whoa haw, Jack. It's easier to farm on paper than on land. I have tried it. Ail of we cornfield deserters have. And the towns are full of us. And we keep coming. The sun is so hot and the snow so cold. I can prove it by eyery truthful editor, teacher, preach er, merchant, lawyer, doctor, office-holder, or politician, even. It's a fact that the less one knows how to farm our land, the more he farms on paper and hot air. I have seen and heard them, have you? Gee there, Jack. For years, those what farm on paper have been asking and giv ing different answers to the question: "when to put lime on land." Land farmers who have tried it know. The "try rule" is the only real test. They will tell you to put it on when the lime and the land have been properly prepared, whether day or night, spring, summer, fall or winter. Lime mortar out of a 40 year-old chimney, spread on tendable land, produce quicker and more results than double that amount of unslacked lime. Haw there, Jack. Paper farmers think land farmers ouuht to have a "busi ness side to their farming." What that means, I don't know. One says it means this; When a farmer can sell a tailless and toothless JOW that's been fresh thirteen times for fifty dollars, that farmer is a successful farm er, a trood business farmer. He is popular in church and State because he has money and can help in every good word and work. But the farmer what bought that cow, is a poor business man. He is a sorry citizen; he has no money to give to benevolent objects. It is dinner time. Who a there, Jack. After dinner it was so hot, I decided that me and Jack would go up in the cain patch, known as the Recorders court. There were enough good hands up there that evening to have pick ed a thousand pounds of cotton. We paper farmers spend enough time and energy at baseball, tc produce ten million bales of cot ton, and enough running auto mobiles a year to pay the State debt. So we have a hard time of it, we do. Recorder Campbell had a big court —several cases, a big crowd, colorea and uncolored. They even had the City Attorney ud for fighting another promi nent gentleman, You ought to have heard Gus Self pleading the eourt to be easy on his cliant, the eity attorney. He said his cliant wasn't even able to pay him a little fee for de fending him. The city attorney said in a low tone cf voice, ''l wiil vote for you," meaning he would vote for him for Attorney General. When Gus heard that blessed word, he spread his self, and the City attorney got off with one dollar and the cost. If all the lawbreakers here would vote for Gus. he sure would be elected. Me and all the editors except one, who has hardly teen here long enough yet, have been up for fighting or getting fit, and the mayor for killing chick ens, and the policemen for ex ceeding the night limit, bankers and others. With that array cf talent, influence and numbers Gus Self can beat the world, the flesh and the devil, so they just as well come down. Who 3, Jack—quilting time.

When you finish a job, leave conditions safe. Replace safe guards, and do not leave loose material overhead where it may fall. Do not turn on any electricity, gas, steam, or water, or set in motion any machinery, or throw down any material, without first seeing that no one is in a posi tion to be injured, Do not take shortcuts over or through dangerous places. Take time to be safe. Anna Held sings a song, "Won't you dome and play with me?" You can't do it with one leg or one arm. "There's many a slip twixt cup and lip.'' And there are many other places where you may slip also. Investigate every accident that happens in your gang, and try to preyent an accident oc curring in a like manner. All appliances used in your work should be frequently and carefully inspected. Do not allow machinery to be started before safeguards have been replaced. Make it your personal duty to see that safeguards and signs installed to promote safety are always in good condition and in place. PROFESSIONAL CARDS R. P.
