l
 to say in reference to a law passed by
 congress during N. O. Murphy's term
 as delegate: "The school land lease
 law is one of the best acts on the fed
 eral statute books. It empowers Ari-
 zona to lease her lands for the benefit of the public schools. The Arizona
 statute passed for the purpose of carrying the federal law into effect seemed to be an effort to nullify the
 beneficial features of the law. The coming legislature ought to amend the law, as to give the schools the full lest benefit of the intent and spirit of the school lease law, for its purposes are all good"

 Mir. Bryan's home town gave Gov ernor Roosevelt one of the most en- thusiastic receptions of any town he has visited. Those Nebraskans who have so long been accustomed to the wagging of Billy's jaw just went wild with enthusiasm over Teddy's visit. A prominent feature of the pa rade was the presence in it of a large number of ladies, among them being the Ida Mckinley club com posed exclusively of women. Their uniforms consisted of the stars and stripes, the stripes forming the skirt of their dresses and the blue back |. ground and stars being made into shirt waists.
 Our contemporary, recently, sneered at an assertion in the Journal Miner that S50,000 was available in the gen eral appropriation bill for the rehabil- itation of Whipple. If the editor doubts the correctness of the Jour nal-Miner's assertion and cares to con vince himself of the truth of it he can see the proof of it by a visit to the office of F. NJ. Murphy. Or in case he has any delicacy about visiting the office in person through fear of be- coming Murphyized by a taxless toot, or otherwise, and can get some respectable gentleman, as his repre- sentative to visit the aforesaid office the proof will be shown him, not only that the above sum was available but that it was actually set aside for the purpose.
 At the recent session of the board . of supervisors an application was made for the appointment of a regis tering officer in each of several pre- cincts. For some reason or other the board saw fit to adjourn without act ing upon the applications. It would probably hardly be fair to accuse the honorable board of being actuated from partisan motives in this action because the request came from the county republican central committee, but whatever the motive, or whether from mere neglect, the omission to ap- point was a mistake. It is the duty of the board to furnish the fullest op- portunity possible for all voters to register and to secure the largest reg istration possible. It is hoped that the board at its adjourned session on Monday will promptly rectify the mistakes by the appointment of reg istering officers in the precincts named. Only eight days practically only seven days-will then be left for registering.

 Mr. Bryan is a very credulOus man, if it be true, as reported, that he is relying upon Sam Jones to carry Ohio for him.
 Congressman Fowler, of New Jer- sey, says Mckinley and Roosevelt will carry the state by from 10000 to 10 5000 majority. Yet that is one of the states the Bryanites are claiming.
