To Stop Betting.


At the session of the legislature of
Vermont a new law was adopted to
prevent and punish betting on cleo
tons. The provisions of the law are
very stringent, and the means to be
taken for it's enforcement seem on their
face to be efficient.
1t is evident from the debate on the
law in the Legislature that the extra
ordinary growth of the betting mania
in politics within recent years has been
a subject of serious apprehension in
Vermont. 1t was more widespread
and upon a larger scale in the elections
of this year than it ever was in those
of any previous time, as a reference to
the newspapers of the past few months
will show.
Yet we fear that the betting law will
take its place by the side of prohibition
1t won't work.

Mrs. Whitney, wife OF the secretary
of the navy, denounces in unmeasured
terms the absurd and silly ISLANDERS
that have been industriously circulated
of late concerning domestic infelicity
at the White House. She thinks it
time "that some one competent to
speak" should publicly "denounce
every one of the stories as utterly false
and baseless." Mrs. Whitney says
that the happy course of the domestic
life of Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland "has
never been interrupted by an unkind
word, look or thought. l speak with
the authority of one who knows" We
believe that Mrs. Whitney is better
authority in this instance than Mrs.

port says of the land grants, that compared
with the aggregate acreage of the terrific.
~, the area of these grants is not large,
but comprises several thousand holdings.
The greater portion Of these claimed grants
are but lily defined as to the exterior
boundaries and in consequence of the in
creased pressure of settlement the unoccu
pied portions are liable to be settled upon
and endless trouble may ensue, which will
become more serious from year to year, so
long as legislation for settlement is de.
layed. The bill now pending before cong.
ress for the admission of New Mexico pro.
yides that $50, 900 acres of state lands shall
be devoted to the establishment of reser.
voirs for irrigating purposes. This, the
governor thinks, would be ample for the
purpose and satisfactory. The population
Of the territory has increased during the
year about 10000. The aggregate value
Of taxable property is S44, ,l5l 1920. The
progress in agriculture during the year is
very marked, and progress has been made

WASHINGTON, Oct. II, The secretary
of the interior to-day met the Sioux chiefs
BY appointment and read and carefully
explained the change which the president
has decided to recommend to congress
provided the Indians signify their willing
ness to accept the law with the proposed
amendments. Secretary Villas spoke for
about two and a half hours, fully explain
ing every point. He complimented the
Indians on their manly speeches and de-
clared that the government was deeply
interested in their welfare. The prot
changes are: First, the government will
place to the credit OF the Indians one
dollar for every acre of land disposed of to
bomesteaders during the first three years
after the passage of the law, and IS cents
per acre for all lands no disposed of during
the next two years, and SO cents per acre
for all lands disposed of after the expira-
tion of these six years. Instead of 81 ,000,-
00O, 900 being now set apart for the oeneht
of the Indians. Two million dollars shall
br set apart to draw interest at per cent.
Out of this amount 800 shall be paid each
man and child within six months from the
passage of the act. This is in addition To
the payments which the president calls for.
Instead of being supplied with oxen, the
president proposes that each head of a
family shal. be supplied with pair OF
American horses and double harness.. The
last amendment provides that all allot.
ments shall be absolutely free from taxa.
tion for twenty-five years. Other miner
changes are made The chiefs took the
matter under confederation and will re.
plrt to the secretary probably tomorrow
