When the county seat newspapers
attack the new county project and dis
tort facts or make use of himSy state
ments there is some excuse in the fact
that they are influenced by petty OF
selfish motives, but when great paper
like the Philadelphia Press resorts to
that sort Of thing it is not surprising
that readers pause and question the
purpose. 1t cannot be that the Pres
employs writer's who are ignorant OF
subjects treated editorally. When such
statements are made seriously, as was
the case the other day, the question
arises, why does the Press risk putting
itself in ridiculous position in order tc
combat a just claim-the erection of a
new county out of this isolated com
munity?
For instance, the Press suggests that
criminal court be held here and in tha'
way meet the ends Of justice and the
claims of Inconvenience. Now whlr
this suggestion sounds well enough, how

An American naval officer, wishing to
battle in Ceylon river, asked native
to show him place where there were
no alligators. The native took him to
a pool close to the estuary.
The officer enjoyed his dip. While
drying himself he asked his guide why
there were never any alligators in that
pool.
Because, sah," the Cingalese replied,
"they plenty 'fraid of shark"

Combination Logging and Bloomer.

Here is novelty which the Winter
bicycle girl is sure to welcome with
joy. 1t is n combination bloomer and
Logging, and for neatness, convenience
and warmth it has no equal This
bloomer-legging has but recently been
invented and patented by a New York
manufacturer.
The new invention is especially
adapted for women who object to the
regular bloomer or other ordinary
bifucated garment. The principal OBJ
lection to the old bloomer was its lack
of neatness. 1t Is true that some wo-
men looked well in them, but the gen
eral opinion was that, as Il rule. they
We're failure and about as attractive
as football trousers.
The bloomer-legging is a distinct
style A skirt Is to be worn over the
bloomer to the knee, but below the
knee the logging part ends in sort of
gaiter, covering the stocking and shoe,
and serves the double purpose of pro-
lection from cold and dampness. The
upper part is not bulky and the lower
part fits the leg snugly from the knee
down. The garment resembles a pair
of full tights.

"On the last trip l made arrange

can go hungry and know how to get

GAMBLING IN KANSAS CITY.
The Chief of Police Told That He Must
SupprCHs 1t.

Suppress 1t.
Kansas City, Sept 24.-Chief of Po-
lice Hayes was called before the Police
Board and told that he must suppress
the pool rooms and all forms of gam
bling in Kansas City at once.
"You stated before the LeXow COM
mittee that gambling could be sup
pressed" said Mayor Jones, land we
now want you to do it.
The mayor said the position that n
pool room can be licensed to run a
game of chance was untenable.
"Raid the pool rooms and gambling
houses n hundred times day" said he,
until they cease.'
I'VE are going to make II so warm
for the gamblers" interjected Commits
sioner Gregory, that they will have to
gamble in the patrol wagons on the
way to the police stations if they must
gamble"
The pool room keepers claim the
right to operate under decision of the
Court of Appeals in ST. Louis. They
were running under the state license
law until the anti-pool room bill went
into effect in July. AT that time the po-
lice began raiding them and the raids
have been kept up intermittently.
In all cases where the raids We're
made fines were assessed and the cases
were promptly appealed to the Crimi-
nal Court They are on the Criminal
Court docket now.
An Unprecedented crusade against
gambling is expected.

To Put Gun Boat on the Yukon

New York, Sept. pa special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Acting Secretary Roosevelt favors
the assignment of naval vessel to
rhe Yukon river for patrol duty. The
suggestion has been made by Lieu
tenant G. NJ. Stoney of the navy that
a stern wheeler be ordered detailed by
the government and sent to the Yukon
to patrol that stream. beginning next
spring. Lieutenant Stoney's PROPOSE
tion also contemplates the establish
ment of three stations on the Yukon,
one at each end and the third in the cen
ter. at each of which will be stationed
about twenty marines and surgeon
and an officer. He points out that lnw-
lessness has prevailed to an alasming
extent in Alaska, and that a naval
force is absolutely necessary to sup
press disorder. Mr.. Roosevelt opposes
the suggestion that the revenue cut
ter service can maintain order in Alas
ka as well as the navy.
