Albert Griffin, chairman of the organic
ing committee of the anti saloon republi
cans, has issued a call for a conference. to
be hel d in Chicago on September 1G. 1t
says: Each state is requested to elect four
times as many delegates and alternates as
1t has senators and representatives in con-
gress, and the territories can send as many
as thay would be entitled to if they were
states" The promoters of this movements,
the call says, believe that as the democratic
party has become the protector of the sa-
10 on interests, the republican party Ough
to become the avowed champion and de-
fender of the home against the saloons.
The call further says that more than one
half of the republican members of the
senate, and large number of congressman
and party leaders, have expressed themselves
in favor of this policy. During the past
two months arrangements have been made
that insure delegations from nine states, to-
wit Kansas, Illinois, Michigan, New Jer-
sey, Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hamp.
shire, Maine and Rhode Island, and it is
hoped that all the northern and some oil the
southern states will be represented.

after brief statement of the history and
value of the presidents constitutional right
of veto, they say: "Ihe report to which we

the father of the prisoner, was well-tO-do

tended the normal school at Emporia, last

Senator Dawes, from the committee on
| Indian affai 6, has submitted a report to the
senate recommending the passage over the
presidents veto of the bill granting rail-
roads the right of way through the Indian
reservation in northern Montana. The re-
port says it will be observed that the bill
under consideration is an attempt to apply
to this Indian reservation the general law
granting the railroads the right of way
through the public lands of the United
States and that whatever criticism can
probably be made on the general character,
the bill lies with equal force against the
existing law. This law, the reports says, has
existed now for more than ten years and no
complaints of its operation have been heard
in any quarter. 1t was in the line of a
broad and liberal policy, inviting capital
and enterprise, to push railroads into the
public domain wherever there was reasona-
bic hope to expect that development would
produce business enough to Justify the out
lay. The beneficial results of that have
been so marked in the rapid settlement of
the public domain d the resources of the
county that no one has hitherto suggested
that it be abandoned. nor has it been dis
covered heretofore that specializing corpora
tions would be enabled to seek out and
secure the right of way the natural and
most feasible routes with no present lnten-
ton of constructing railroads along such
lines but with q view of holding their ad-
vantageous easements for disposal at some
future time to some other corporation for a
valuable consideration.
