Oh the grounds and located one of
the most eligible sites for great
reservoir on Upper Blackfoot river
that can bl found anywhere in the
inter-mountain regions. 1t is one of
natures choice spots for the storage
of water from mountain streams and
winters SHOWS. From it the Black
foot river could be fed with all the
water needed in the irrigation season
and our ranchers "down the river
would no longer thirst for water The
cost of building has been estimated
to be very small compared with its
advantage and value to the settlers
who will be benefited by it. 1t will
become an absolute necessity when
the Fort Hall reservation is thrown
open and as that matter is now in
progress it would be well for our citi-
zens along the river and at Poca-
telo to make a move. Senator Fred
r. Dubois will take it as work of
pleasure as well as one of duty to
represent the wishes of the people at
the seat of government in securing
the needed appropriations. Let the
people move; call meeting and set
forth all the facts in a well prepared
statement and back this BY y strong
petition, and then let these be for
warded to Senator Dubois and, We

A Weakness Of the soions.
Wilmington star.

Mr.. Lineback, Rep, represen-
tative in the Legislature from
Forsyth county, has introduced
a bill to prohibit members Of the
Legislature from accepting free
passes on railroads. Mr.. Line
back is anxious TO make q re-
cord, and begins this early
where other reformers left off.
We don't think there Is a State
in the Union, except perhaps,
some Of those brand new ones
recently turned out Of the Con-
gressional State factory, where
one OF more reformers have not
from time to time taken a whack
at the free pass, and still the
way the free pass flourisheth
surpasseth all understanding.
Solons as o general thing seem
to have a weakness for free
passes, and tumble to them as
unanimously as the Juvenile
boy does TO red top boots, not
withstanding the protests Of the
anti-free pass reformers.

A Favorable View Of Compul-
sorry Education.
Monaan,on u.r.ia
r. W.. YORK.


We can see no reason why a
statute should not be passed
compelling children within the
school age to attend the public
schools. We pass laws prohib-
iting the sale of liquor to minors,
prohibiting the carrying of con-
cealed weapons, preventing
tresspasses on land, protecting
fish in the streams and birds in
the fields fromthe hook and gun
of the hunter. A North Caro-
linian cannot throw a rock at a
prowling dog or pummel the
sides Of a roguish COW with a
brick bat without subjecting
himself to a criminal Indictment.
The citizen is hedged about on
all sides by statutes saying
what he shall and shall not do.
More than ten thousand of our
citizens have been tried for va
rious offenses during the last
eighteen months, involving the
taxpayers in enormous bills of
cost. Crime directly costs North
Carolina nearly as much as its
public schools, and indirectly it
costs many times as much as we
are wont to say that ignorance
and crime go hand in hand, the
one being the natural sequence
of the other. While we are
creating SO many statutory Of
fenses with a view to keeping
the people in the right, why not
pass a law to make the children
20 to schools that are furnished
by the State, and thus strike q
blow straight at the fountain
head Of crime? IL il is right for
the State to furnish schools il is
right that the children should
be made to attend them. Stats
tics show that a large percent
age Of those within the school
age do not attend the public
schools nor any other schools,
and grow up in ignorance, a
burden and q menace 10 the
State. They will not attend
school without the coercive
power Of the State is exerted.
We believe that the suggestions
of the county superintendent
should be acted upon by the
Legislature.

Drastic ENOUGH.
Senator Qnay's Federal isnyonet
Election Bill.

Election Bill.
The electians bill introduced
by Senator uavis entitled AN
act to prevetiC force and fraud in
Federal elections and insure
the lawful ssnd peaceful con-
duct thereof" !" The bill differs
in many respects from the bill
on the Senate calendar. The
first section directs the United
States District or Circuit Judge,
ON petition of ten or more citi-
zens of any city or county in
his judicial district, to appoint
three qualified voters a Board
of Supervisors, not more than
two to be of one party. This
board is to be empowered to de-
mand from the register a copy
Of his books, and after a posted
notice they are at the polling
place to purge the books of per-
sons not qualified to vote.
Other sections Of the bill re-
.quire the register in advance of
election to register such persons
only as the Board Of Supervisors
decides to be qualified to vote
for the Representative in Con-
gress. Provision is also made
in event of the registers failure
for the board to conduct the re-
gistration and to deliver the
books to the judges of election.
During the election supervisors
are to see that the poll-books are
rightly kept and the ballots prop
erly received and that unautho-
rized persons are not admitted
to the polling place. They are
also to examine suspected bal
lots, verify the count and can
vass and supervise the makeup
of the returns, delivering one
copy to the chief supervisor Of
the judicial district and the
other to the clerk of the Board
of Supervisors of the city or
county appointed by the State.
They are also to attend the
proceedings of the Board of
City or County Canvassers, su-
peryise the canvass, make up
the returns and see that the lat
ter are delivered, one copy to
the Secretary of the Common
wealth and the other to the
Clerk of the United States Court.
Authority is conferred upon the
Board of Supervisors to arrest
and commit for "a hours
persons disturbing the peace at
the polls or attempting TO in
fiuence voters. The United
States Circuit Judges are author
lied to appoint for each judicial
district a chief supervisor and
register of elections, at a salary
of 5000 per amman, who is to
receiyeand preserve the returns
required to be made to the court.
The above described provi.
sions replace fourteen sections
of the original bill. The re-
mainder of the bill is made up
of all after section 13, of the
committee bill, to which is ad-
ded the following section:
"When it shall appear to the
satisfaction Of the President Of
the United States that lin any To-
cality) the provisions Of this law
cannot otherwise be executed,
it shall be his duty and he
is hereby empowered to suspend
there the writ Of habeas corpus,
and to employ the armed forces
of the United States, naval and
military, for its enforcement,
and for the protection of the
officers, whose duties are here
in provided for"
