L ALTMFFIAMWAIE Fostering a proposition of "homerule for Illinois cities" without interference from the state legislature, the Illinois Municipal league has evolved a set of principles for "free-city government," which are to be presented to municipal officials of Illinois for consideration. The league's proposition includes nine suggestions.

Farmers of Illinois'are feeding about 25 per cent less cattle than they were a year ago, the state and federal departments of agriculture have announced on the basis of a survey of conditions as of April 1. r The slump in feeding operations is attributed chiefly to the high price of feeders and to the poor quality or moderate to short supplies of corn, •itecent price declines have also held down summer feeding. Reports from Illinois feeders generally indicate a marked decrease from a year ago in the summer market movement of cattle. One of the «Mt tfaisaHt ot the stories of Abraham IlncoU** ssmmotlon with the railroads Is e--csms< with an offer said to have been made to him by the New York Central railroad to become Its general eounael. Some writers on Lincoln treat the story only as tradition, but, according to John W. Starr's "Lincoln and the Railroads," the story Is as well authenticated as many events tn the Emancipator's legal career. Lincoln as a legislator, Mr. Starr points out, was Instrumental in fostering the first railroads In Illinois an4 later he became counsel for the Illinois Central and also represented several other roads. While the records of the New York Central do not dis close that a formal offer was made, according to the New York Central Lines Magazine, there is evidence tending to show that at least a verbal offer mlght have been made. fads Wm Varba We want acta, not words.
