The following is sent to the Journal
from a former Cass county boy, who,
aner reading me account ot the run

the train on which he is running.
Here is further evidence that the run
aways are alive:
as chief clerk last week was the nrst
intimation which he gave of making
his own appointments regardless of
pressure which is brought to bear
upon him.
Whatever Maggi's backing was it
was not known and the first intima
tion that he was even a candidate was
given the morning that the governor
made the announcement of his ap
pointment. Maggi declares that he
himself didn't even have an idea of
serving as the governor s chief clerk
until less than twelve hours before the
appointment was made.
It is also true that the state com

appointment. Several uncompliment

I be read "over the left." Here are some
of them:
"1. Do not stamp letters, especial
ly in winter, as the carrier has taken
off his mittens and will spend some
time anyway in looking for pennies
"2. Avoid placing the right change
in the box, as the carrier always car

"3. If you desire a 2-cent stamp, a

opes, do not write your needs on a slip
of paper and thus annoy the carrier,
Just drop a half dollar in the box; the
carrier is a mind reader and will know
what you want.

cheaper than it is now is, too. One of
the great secrets of the low price that
mail-order houses are able to make is
the selling for cash plan.
Any farmer who is honest can bor
row money at the bank. He could
take that money and do better with it
than he could with his credit at the
store where he buys what he needs.
Dealers now have what they call their
low est cash price, but it could be much
lower if all the goods they sell could be

made. What the cash buyer has to

cent that goes to cover what hass been
lost in bad accounts or notes long over
due, that, perhaps, has required a law
suit to collect. All these are now fixed
charges, made by the credit system of
carrying on business, and every cus
tomer of the store has to payhisshare
tecause the expense is tacked onto the
goods sold.
Perhaps some may say that putting
the credit giving privilege up to tbe
banks would give them too much of a
hold on the people; that they would
soon be charging a too high rate of in
terest. The usual rate charged on all
notes taken by machinery dealers and
other merchants bears 8 per cent inter
est. This is no higher than the banks
now charge on good notes, and if a man
cannot furnish an 8 per cent risk, the
chances are he will furnish no greater
profit to the man or institution from
which he gets money than would be
the good borrower who pays the lower
rate. We believe this system of doing
away with credit along all lines of
trade, making everything cash, would
greatly cheapen the price of the goods
we buy, and would, in a trreat meas
ure, compela part of the scalawags to
be honest. "
A Painful Accident.
A very painful accident happened
to Mr. Claude Everett, Jiving four
miles southeast of Union, last Satur
day. He was leaving tbe wood yard
with an arm load of fuel for tbe house,
when in some manner he stepped on a
round piece of wood, which threw the
ax that was lying on the ground sharp
edge upward and it struck his left
arm near the elbow, cutting a gash
which took several stitches to close.
The Journal regrets to learn of this
accident to one of its old friends, and
uupes uy careiui treatment he can
soon make use of that member.

The Veterinary Bill.
In Saturday's issue of the Journal
appeared an article stating that the
Teterinary bill, as originally prepared.
had been killed in the house of repre
sentatives. Such is not the case, and
the report was erroneous. The fact is
the. original bill, making any veter
inarian who had practiced the profes
sion for ten years, eligible toall the
rights and title granted to veterinary
surgeons, has not been acted uoon hv
either branch of the legislature.
There was an amendment to the orig
inal bill, substituting five instead or
ten years, which was acted upon, and
this was killed in the house. The
amendment was ostensibly gotten up
for the purpose of defeating the orig
inal measure.
