A FATHERS BIRTHDAY GREET.
ING.

A FATHERS BIRTHDAY GREET
ING.
Can It indeed be true? Eleven years
Since that bright morn in rosy June
When I, mid scent of flowers and songs Of
Received from Heaven that wondrous
boon?
Yes. 50 the record reads. Eleven years
Since flrst knew paternal bliss,
And, wondering ct the miracle OF birth,
Gave thee fathers rapturous kiss.
How sweet the memory of that day Of days,
When Heaven and earth seemed bient IN
one,
when fondest hopes the waiting bosom
And life was radiant as the SUM-
o fairest picture ever seen on earth.
A baby on its mothers breast
Its eyelids closed in dreamy, soft content,
Like that of bird upon the nestl
But soon the tiny bud its petals opes.
The baby laughs and crows and talks,
Then quickly learns score of pretty pranks,
And by and by it proudly walks
Next comes the happy time for dolls and
And playing by the way-side brooks,
For gathering flowers in woods and fields,
And search for truth in schools and books,
With all father pride, my daughter true,
I've watched each onward step of thine.
With earnest prayer to God that on thy path
The light Of Heaven might ever shine.
And now whom youth, with all its charms, Is
here, rg fsc
And womanhood is just before,
What greater blessing can crave for thee,
What other, better light implOre?
Orapture sweet, to see mind unfold
Its godlike powers, the soul wax strong
The conscience arm and mighty to control,
And guard my child from sin and wr0ngl
What Joy to me the birthdays always bring,
Each brighter than the one before;
prophecy of better still to come
OF light and peace for evermOre!

ton of navy we need thoroughly reorgan-
lied navy department. The fact that within
seventeen wears more than $75,000,0 900 has
been spent in construction, repairs and equip
ment and armament of vessels, and the
further fact that instead of an
effective and creditable fleet we
have only the discomfort and apprehension
of a nation undefended by war vessel, added
to the disclosures now made, do not permit
us to doubt that every attempt to revive our
navy has thus far, for the most part, been
INSTRUCTED, and all our efforts in that direc
ton have been little better than blind CROP
ings and expensive, aimless follies. I'm
questionably, if we are content with the
maintenance of a navy department simply as
a shabby ornament to the government, a con-
slant watchfulness may prevent some of
THE SCANDAL. AND ABUSE
which have found their way into our present
organization and its incurable waste may be
reduced to the minimum, but if we desire to
build ships for present usefulness, instead or
naval reminders of the days that are past,
we must have q department organized Tor
the work. supplied with all the talent and in
genuity our country affords, prepared to take
advantage of the experience OF other nations,
systematized so that all efforts shall
unite and lead in one direction, and fully
imbued with the conviction that war vessels,
though new. are useless unless they combine
all that the ingenuity of man has up to this
day brought forth relating to their construc-
ton. [ earnestly recommend that portion of
the secretary's report devoted to this sub
ject to the action of congress, in the hope
that his suggestions tending to the reorgani-
cation of his department may be adopted as
the first step toward the construction of our
navy.

in these transactions are also charged against
the government. Thus the rights and freedom
of our citizens are outraged and public ex-
penditure increased, for the purpose Of fur
nishing public officials preteXts for 1ncreas-
ing the measure of their compensation. L
think marshals and district attorneys should
be paid salaries, adjusted by rule which
will make them commensurate with the serv-
ices fairly rendered. In connection with this
subject desire to suggest the advisabilityi If it
be found not obnoxious to the constitutional
objection of investigation, that United States
commissioners be given power to try and de-
termine certain violations OF law within the
grade of misdemeanors. Such trials might be
made to depend upon the ooption OF the ac-
cused. The multiplication of small and
TECHNICAL OFFENSES,
especially under the provisions OF our in
ternal revenue laws, render some change III
our present system very desirable in the IN
terests of humanity as well as economy. The
district courts are now crowded with petty
prosecutions involving punishment, IN case
of conviction, of only a slight fine, while the
parties accused are harrassed by an enforced
attendance upon courts held hundreds of
miles from their homes. If poor and friend
less, they are obliged to remain
in jail during months perhaps, that
elapse before Il session of the court
is held, and are finally brought to trial sur
rounded by strangers and with but little OPP
portunity for defense. In the meantime fire.
quently the marshal has charged against the
government his fees for an arrest, the trans
portation of the accused and the expense OF
the same, and for summoning witnesses be-
fore commissioner, grand jury and
court. The witnesses have to be paid from
the public funds large fees and travelling eX-
penses, and the commissioner and district at
torney have also made their charges against
the government. This abuse in the admins
tration of our criminal law should be re-
moved, and if the plan above suggested is not
practicable. some other should be devised.

THE SMALL BANDS OF INDIANS
which left their reservation in Arizona and
committed murders and outrages, Two regl-

sent last July to the Indian Territory to pre-

They remained to aid, if necessary, the eX-

Troops were also sent to Rock Springs in

LEGAL MATTERS.
Courts Overwhelmed With Business
and LEGISLATION Necessary.

The report of the attorney general contains
a history of the conduct of the department of
justice during the last year, and a number of
valuable suggestions as to needed legislation,
and I invite your careful attention to the
same. The condition of business in the
courts of the United States is such that there
seems to be an imperative necessity for
remedial legislation on the subject. Some of
these courts are so overwhelmed with pend
ing causes that the delays in determining
litigation amount often to denial of justice
AMONG LIE PLANS
suggested for relief is one submitted by the
attorney general. Its main features are the
transfer of all the original jurisdiction of the
circuit courts to the district courts and an
increase of judges for the latter where neces-
sary, an addition Of judges to the circuit
courts and constituting them exclusively
courts Of appeal and reasonably limiting ap-
peals thereto. Further restrictions are of
the right to remove causes from the state to
federal courts, permitting appeals to the Su-
prelne court from courts of the District of
Columbia and the territories, only in the
same cases aS they are allowed from state
courts, and guardingCagalnSt an unnecessary
number of appeals from the circuit court.
approve the plan thus outlined and recon-
mend the legislation necessary for its appli-
cation to our judicial system
The present mode of compromising United
States marshals and district attorneys should,
in my opinion be changed. They are allowed
to charge against the government certain
fees for service, their income being measured
by the amount of such fees within a fixed
limit as to their annual aggregate. This is a
direct inducement for them to make their
fees in criminal cases as large as possible in
an effort to reach the maximum sum permit
ted. AS an entirely natural consequence I'M
scrupulous marshals are found encouraging
frivolous prosecutions, arresting people on
petty charges of crime and Transporting
them to distant places for examination and
trial for the purpose of earning milage
and other fees, and district attorneys use
lessly attend criminal examinations far from
their places of residence for the express pur-
pose of swelling their accounts against the
government. The actual expenses incurred

A consideration of the fact that the library
or the capitol has twice been destroyed or
damaged by fire, is daily increasing in value,
and its Importance as a place of deposit of
books under the law relating to copyright,
make manifest the necessity of prompt action

list of voters the name of a man actually
guilty of pOlygamy, and while none of that
class are holding office, yet at the last cleo
ton in the territory all the officers elected,
though not actually living in the
practice Of polygamy, subscribe to
the doctrine of polygamous marriage as
Divine revelation and a law unto all. This is
the strange spectacle presented by COM
munity protected by republican form OF
government to which they owe allegiance,
sustaining by their suffrages principle and
q belief which sets at naught their obligation
of absolute obedience to the law or the land'
which lies at the foundation of republican
institutions. The strength, the perpetuity
and the destiny of the nation rest upon our
homes, established by the law OF God,
guarded by parental care, regulated by par
ontal authority and sanctifed by parental
love.
These are not the homes of polygamy. me
mothers Of our land, who rule the nation, as
they would the characters and guide the ac-
tions of their SONS, live according to GOD S
holy ordinance, and each, secure and happy
i'll the exclusive love of the father or her
children, sheds the warm light OF true
womanhood unperverted and unpolluted upon
all within her pure and wholesome fanlly
circle. These are not the cherries, crushed
and unwOmanly methods OF poiygamy.
The fathers of our families are the best
citizens of the republic. wife and children
are the sources of patriotism, and conJugal
and parental affection beget devotion to
country. The man who, undefled with plural
marriage, is surrounded in his single home
with his wife and children, has stake in the
country which inspires him with respect for
its laws and courage for its defense. These
are not the fathers of polygamous fam
lilies. There is no feature of this prac-
tice, or the system which sanctions it,
which is not opposed to all that Is
OF value in our institutions. There should be
no relaxationin the firm but just execution of
the law now in operation, and I should be
glad to approve such further discreet legis-
lation as will rid the country of this blot upon
its fair fame. Since the people upholding
polygamy in the territories are reinforced by
immigration from other lands, recommend
that law be passed to prevent the importa-
ton Of Mormons into the country.

THE MORMON QUESTION.
A Fitting Tribute to the Monster Evil
.-Il Must he Crushed.

In the territory of Utah the law of the United
States passed for the suppression of polyg-
amy has been energetically and faithfully
executed during the past year with measure
bly, good results. A number of convictions
have been secured for unlawful cohabitatiou,
and in some cases pleas of guilty have been
entered and slight punishment imposed upon
promise by the accused that they would
not again offend against the law,
nor advise, counsel, aid and abet
in any way it's violation by others.
The Utah commissioners express the opin-

riages have taken place in the territory within
the last year. They further report that while

Another Suit Against ward.

CHICAGO, Dec. S.-Adam j. Batcheller
of New York yesterday filed creditors
bill against Ferd Ward. Ella c. Ward. his
wife, and Mary c. Green, her mother. The
proceedings are connected with the suit
filed against the firm of Grant & Ward.
Batcheller obtained judgment against the
firm of Grant & Ward last October for S22,-
1913. Ward is said to own numerous lots in
Wrightwoed, which are supposed to be held
in trust for him by his wife and mother-in-
law. 1t is alleged that Ward conceded his
ownership of the property to defraud the
creditors. o
