ANY Democrat who tries to forecast
presidential possibilities without taking
into account the superb position of
Horace E. Boies of Iowa, will leave out
a factor of much significance in the west.
We do not now believe that Governor
Boies will carry away the prize at the
next national convention, but he is very
much in the way of being hit by II if it
gets to running into eccentric lines. He
is strong man, and the following allu-
sion to him which we take from the
Omaha World-Herald will do to file
away. That paper says:
One who has kept moderately we'll
posted upon the trend and the power of
the campaign conducted for the Demo-
cratic party of Iowa under the leader
ship of Horace E. Boies cannot repress
the wish that the Democracy of Ne
braska had BoIes to seize the oppor-
tunity for grasping power and doing
valuable service for the people which
political exigencies present. 1t does not
need any gift of clairvoyance to foretell
the triumph of Governor Boies's candi-
.dacy and the moral certainty that in re-
winning the governorship he has won
also United States senatorship for his
party. The conviction which such a
result forces upon thoughtful people is
that Horace e. Boies is man of parts,
strong in character, great in brains and
skillful as a leader of men. He is at
once statesman and a politician. He
has been able to force an issue-and to
force it to success.

THE suggestion of Mayor Hazard, at
merce on Friday night, after Mr.. Work.
man had set forth the great advantages
to accrue to Los Angeles from the build
ing of the Terminal railroad to Southern
Utah, has taken root and will bear fruit.
He proposed that the people of this city
should guarantee the company to secure
right of way for their road through
Southern California. And why should not
the people who are to be so immensely
benefited by this great railroad enter
prise be willing to see that the company
should reach here without being hal
rassed and blackmailed to secure en-
trance to and exit from our valley? We
should assume some part OF the burden
of the great work. and this would Ger
tainly not be very onerous one. 1t
goes without saying that at certain
points something would have to be
paid for right of way. But in the main
it would be contributed free by the own
ers of land through which it passed, for
the important benefits they would
inevitably receive from the building
OF the road. 1t is well understood that
the company does not object to pay
reasonable compensation for right of
way; but it does object, and Justly so,
to being forced to pay exorbitant and
extortionate prices for the privilege, by
men who take advantage of the
roads necessities to blackmail it. In
such cases our citizens should
stand between the company and the
extortionists, and we believe that
strong and active representative COM
mittee of the chamber of commerce
could soon bring such obstructionists to
terms. Let this excellent suggestion be
into practical shape. and
the railroad builders and their hackers
will appreciate our assistance at its full
value.

DISINHERITED.
A Los Angeles Boy in Trouble a
Berkeley.

Berkeley.
The San Francisco Newsletter con-
tains the following story about Los
Angeles young man:
"There is sad tale OF disinherited
son in connection with the recent trou-
bles at the State University at Berkeley.
One OF the mostpopular seniors was AL
bert G. Lang. Of Los Angeles. Lang
took part in the recent pranks, and the
faculty suspended him for one year,
which in his case is really equal to ex-
pulsion. As is customary, the young
mans father, an elderly Englishman,
one OF the wealthiest men in Los An
geles, was notified by the faculty of their
action. His feelings of indignation
knew no bounds, and in his passion, Mr..
Lang penned a letter to his son for
bidding him to ever cross the
paternal threshold as long as he
lived, and also informing him that he
would be disinherited. Young Lang was
almost heartbroken when he read the
letter the disinheritance did not trouble
him as much as the mandate to keep
out of his fathers house. The faculty
heard OF Mr.. Lang's action, and some of
them wrote to the young mans father
explaining that no crime had been COM
mitted. and that the act was only boy
ish prank. However, these availed
nothing; Lang's father was obdurate.
Young Lang has taken a sensible view
of the affair, and is now about to com
mence to hustle for himself. He is
generally sympathized with, and Hag-
gerty, who furnished the faculty and
students with liquor, says that Lang can
have home with him as long as he has
one of his own"

THE PATRIOTS OATH.
SWISS CELEBRATE THE GRUETLI
MEADOW CONSPIRACY.
The Helvetia Society Celebration Last
Evening-Origin of the Anniversary.
A Report of the Exercises of the
Evening.

The Swiss society Helvetia celebrated
last night the anniversary of the lnde-
pendence oath on the Gruetli meadow.
The affair was at Turner hall, and was
not only attended by the patriotic ex-
citizens of the little sister republic, but
by many Germans and Americans who
were glad to devote the evening of their
day of rest to pleasure.
On the night between November 9TH
and Sth, in the year 1907, three Swiss
patriots met on the Gruelti, lonely
mountain meadow in the Canton Uri.
Each brought with him ten ardent sup
porters, and the whole thirty-three took
an oath that memorable night on the
banks of the Vierwaldstaedter See, and
at the foot of the Seelisberger
Kuhn, to fight unto death for the inde-
pendence of Switzerland against the
Austrian yoke. On November 18th fol-
lowing, William Tell made that stand
against the tyranny represented by Cess
Ter which has been perpetuated by
Schiller and Rossini. This was the
origin of Swiss independence, and our
Swiss fellow-citizens last night, as usual,
celebrated an event which was as i'm
portant for the introduction OF modern
democratic government in the world as
any.
Out of consideration for this celebra-
ton the management of the Turner hall
department of the interior served moth
ing but Swiss cheese yesterday. In the
evening the dancing floor was properly
cleaned and waKed for the purpose of
demonstrating once again that natives
of Switzerland as we'll as others under
this Democratic form of government
can glide easily through life.
The exercises of the evening were
opened by historical address delivered
by Mr.. A. Schelling. A number of his
torical tableaux were then produced,
the principal representations being that
of the chief oonspirators taking the
oath, and an allegorical picture showing
Helvetia surrounded by her standard
bearers. The double quartette of the
Helvetia, under the leadership of Mr..
Engels, sang a number of patriotic
songs, and the multitude then gave
itself to Terpsicore and her representa-
tives.
