Leasing Action By Congress.


The leasing question, a. far - action
by congress on the subject is concerned
for the present session, is exactly where
the National 1.-Two Stock association
wants 1t. The peoples representatives
on Saturday, through the pnbiie lands
committee, tabled all bills bearihg a
the subject, for but ono reasdn--a want
Of full and proper information on the
subject. Such was the substance Of the
language OF the resolution introduced
by Mr.. Mondell Of Wyoming before the
committee.
Con&ressmen recognize the question
to be very important one. surmouuted
by many perplexing conditions. There
is no doubt but they appreciate the full
Significance Of the warnings from the
interior and agricultural departments
should the present system Of free range
continue. They also appreciate that .
law applic able to South Dakota. Colo
RADIO or Nevada could not be made to
apply to New Mexico or Arizona, prin-
cipally because OF the wide differsnce
in range conditions tho extreme
scarcity of grass and water in the South
as compared to the North. 1t is there
fore subject that requires due care
and deliberation. During recess the
question will be carefully looked into,
stockmen consulted and due Difference
given the work of the special committee
of the National Live Stock association.
When the next session of congress opens
there will be introduced a grazing land
leasing bill that will meet all require
ments.
The National association, in conven-
tion, declared emphatically that the
small stockman and homesteader should
first be protected, and unless q measure
can be prepared that will accomplish
that purpose the National association
will not support it.
1t may be said In conclusion that OBJ
servation from the headquarters of this
association shows almost every corpor.

Letters to State Department Shed
No Light on Resignation.
Washington. Jan. 16.-Thc mystery
surrounding the intense desire of Con-.
sui James T.. Mncrum to get back to
the United States from Pretoria, when
his presence at the T~ransvaal capital
was urgently required, was dcepencd
by the receipt Saturday at the state
department of mail dispatches from
Mr.. Macrum. Most of these comm,,.
nications merely reported the confir-
nation of dispatches sent by telegraph
by the consul as required by the state
tleea TT me "
1t was expected by the department
that in his mail reports Mr.. Macrum
would explain the meaning of his
mysterious reference to matters of
intense interest to himself personally
and to American citizens. which he
gave as the reason why he should have
permission to return to the United
States. No such explanation is offered
by the consul in the reports.
1T was understood at the depart
ment that there might be reasons
which would deter Mr.. Macrum from
communicating important information
by telegraph, even in the secret
cipher, but they cannot understand
why he should have failed to send by
mail whatever news he wished to con-
no matter how confidential it
might be. Mr.. Macrnm's mail reports
We're of dates between November s
and November %, inclusive. He sent
no important information. He sailed
from Lourenzo Marquee, Portuguese
Africa. on December 10 by The Medi.

Clark, of the Evangel band. address
ing the Methodist preachers meeting
in this city on the religious condition
OF New York, said that as a heather

here there are 1,3oO.0oo persons with
out any religious affiliations at all,
which number is 109,O 900 more than the
population Of Tokyo, the second lar
gest heather city in the world. Among
other figures which&Miss Clark used
were these:
On Manhattan island there are
nearly $500 people. to every Protestant
church. Only about Z per cent of the
population are members of Protestant
churches and that is a loss Of about i
per cent since the census of 1890.
There has not been an actual loss in
numbers, but the difference in percen-
tage is due to the steady stream of
foreigners, 5000 II week, who keep
rushing in. Only 19 per cent of our
popuiatlon in Manhattan had even one
parent born in this country: in
Greater New York there are 1900, 600

tons at all. In making these calcula-
tons exclude those who have affli-

WAYS OF DOING WORK.

Most People shirk Labor, While
tho Few Find Pleasure in Ii.
New York Sun: s'The man that is
so far advanced that he likes the work
lie is doing said Mr.. Stoggleton. Tins
reason to feel hopeful of himself. 4
suppose that the great majority of us
go through the work we have in hand
the casiest way we can and get
through it skipping the hard places
when possible, and thinking We'll be
glad when it's finished; but the next
job will be just the same, there will be
just about SO many hard places III It,
and then wei be wishing Just the
same that we could get through that
job.
THE fact appears To be that we are
always trying to shirk the present Job.
We mean well, in Il feeble sort of way,
and the next thing we tackle we are
going to do right up to the handle;
but when we strike that, when that
becomes the present work. don't we
try to shirk that, too? We do, indeed.
And that's what we do all through
life; daily putting off our best en-
deavors ill tomorrow. Kind of a mis-
cradle thing to do, isn't IL?
But occasionally you meet n man
who puts in his best licks every day
ard ~rejoices in the labor. He doesn't
care u continental whit the next day
is going to bring to him; he Gun han
die il, whatever it is. Just now he's
engaged with today's laborr, and he
does that up thoroughly and com
pletely, and searches out the last nook
and Granny. He isn't trying to see
what he can pass by, but what he can
root out. and he goes home satisfied.
with his work. And he's the olfc man
in a thousand that leads all the rest,
and his pay corresponds with his la
bora.
