It is said that tho Harriman roads
are in the market for 6,000 steel cars,

pression and indicates tho Harriman
belief in returning prosperity. There
is keen competition for the order, and
it is likely that tho Harriman pee pie
will secure a very low price.

Mr. Stebbins on the "Constitution."
Mr. Editor will you plcaso glvo me
a little spaco again as several havo
asked mo why I do not writo again
The Constitution is tho collective body
of tho fundamental law of a county or
s.tate, giving their legislatures tho
power to mako laws for tho better
ment of thoso to bo governed by them:
is a law ngainst horso stealing, a law
against counterfeiting, n law against
drunkenness, if a man does cither ho la
considered a criminal and is tried be
foro a court and fined. In viow of tho
above facts, it would bo unconstitu
tional for any body of legislators to try
and grant a llcenso to a business that
they know would mako criminals.
am glad to know that our constitution
is not so fickle minded as to recognize
the legality of mon whon they claim
the constitutional right to llcenso a
business that docs mako criminals of
their constituency. It is not in our
constitutional lnw giving mon tho
right to llcenso n business that does
make criminals as tho liquor businoBs
docs. Consequently tho liquor business
is an out-lnw bocauso it never was nor
can bo recognized as an in-law, and to
mo it stands as an in-law today becauso
of tho rottenness of our politics. How
is our politics to get bntter by those
that will swear they will bo no longer
a slave to servo such rottenness? Can
a better proposition bo offered? Nover
send men to our legislatures that havo
or will affirm, thoy have a constitu
tional right to licenso a business that
does make criminals, bocauso such mon
nro not loyal to it and thoy violate their
oath of office. Mon ouirht to bo clad
that Borne dare to try and get thW
rotten liquor criminal making business
out of our politics and have our politics
a partner with it and its crimes as it is
to day. Respectfully
Cryus Steiuiins.
A Peculiar Corn Field.
Moses Saad, a Syrian farmer living
in Platto precinct, has a hundred-acre
field of corn that has not an ear in it.
Tho corn ia tall, of good color, nnd
looks well, but it is sn(d4tho stalks aro
devoid of vara. A few, weeks ago n
hot wind or something of tho kind Is
said to havo blasted tho tassels at a
critical timo, killing tho pollen and
thus preventing fertilization, nnd con
sequently tho formation and growth of
caro. Iho area covered by tho heat
embraces a tract of country about
threo miles square. Such conditions
aro rare, but can bo prevented, it is
said, by planting every tenth row of
corn about ten days later than tho bal
anco of tho field, thus insuring tho
necessary fertilization either from tho
first or last planting. Lexington Pion
