UP TO ROOSEVELT.

Mr.. Roosevelt is about the only con-
spicuous Republican who has ao-
mitted that any of the trusts are really
bad. He has admitted it and ne mas
proposed to do something to protect
the public against the exercise by tne
trusts of their monopoly powers ana
other powers to it's injury. His attor-
ney general has pointed out what can
be done by Congress in this direction,
and that it can be done very effectlve-
w and as well without as with an
amendment to the federal Constltu-
tion.
There is abundant evidence, too
that the people, especially the people
west of Ohio, believe that the existing
tariff, whatever they may have thought
of it in the past, now affords shelter
to a great extent to monopoly.
Here again Mr.. Roosevelt is one OF
the few Republicans prominent in the
party leadership who have made any
distinct promise of amendment. Winnie
he has promised nothing radical, ne
has very plainly indicated his purpose
to urge upon, Congress such action as
may seem to be necessary to deprive
organized monopoly Of any tarlff OF
other legislative shelter.
The people have accepted these
promises in good faith. They have
trusted President Roosevelt as the
official leader of the Republican party
rather than the party as represented
in Congress and in platform commit
tees.
He may depend upon it that the peo
ple will look to him to make his prom
ises good to the best of his ability
They will expect him to make al
strenuous an effort to secure adequate
legislation as to the trusts and thu
repeal of the shelter features of th'
tariff as he has made for the preferen
tial treatment of Cuban products.
They will look to his party as repre-
sented in Congress to act promptly an

gantly, and in spirit of impatience
we scribble few lines to some friend

day show that their writing is task,

Once upon time it was good man
ners to hold age in reverence but it

may actually feel in the heart, our at
titude toward the old indicates that
instead of regarding them with rever-
ence, we consider age a synonym for
incapacity and boredom. Maybe we
mean all right, but our manners are
such that we often cause bitter heart
ache in the old, who, bred in differ
ent school, can interpret our thought

respect.
1t is an age of i'll manners in both
men and women. Garish vulgarity

MODERN COLLEGE STUDENTS

An account of game of foot ball at
Omaha, published in the Chicago
newspapers a few days ago, reads very
much like the account of THE game
played by Clan Quhele and Clan Chat
tan in Scotland six or seven centuries
ago. The object Of the Scotch game
was for each side to kill all the play
ers on the other side. The object of
the Omaha game was to carry a ball
across a certain line. It was played,
or fought, between the University OF
South Dakota and the Omaha Medical
College. The latter team had the ad-
vantage, as, having studied anatomy
they knew the location of the various
bones and vitals, and could proceed
with more precision to break the for
mer and puncture the latter. Neither
party was armed with guns or clay
mores, and, considering that they
were hampered by this restriction,
both sides did fine work.
AS soon as the bugler sounded the
advance the combatants, starting for
ward in regular order, met together in
tho center of the ground, as a furious
land torrent encounters an advancing
tide. This was precisely the way
that Clan Quhele and Clan Chattan,
thirty men on a side, met that day at
Perth. To the sound of the terrify-
ing college yells of the rival institu-
tions of learning, Jungbluth, of Oma-
ha, knocked Novotny, of Dakota
senseless with his fist If he had
been armed like the Highlanders with
dagger and claymore, he would have
cloven Novotny to the chin. AS it
was, he had to be content with knock
ing him senseless. Then the Dako-
tans rallied and chased Jungbluth
from the field and far out upon the
prairie toward the North Fork of the
Platte river. When the pursuing
party had been recalled and the sport
resumed, Olsen, of Dakota, graspeC

THE TUCSON KNOCKERS.

Under the above caption, the Phoe-
nix Republican of yesterday says:
Much regret has been expressed that
the members of the United States Sem
ate Subcommittee on Territories could
not give more time to their investiga-
tiOns in Arizona. But in viLW of the
advices from Tucson, printed in the
Republican yesterday, still greater re-
gret will be felt by the people Of the
Territory that the committee did not
decide to go through Tucson without
stopping. 1t appears that the fool
killer was off duty for the day, and the
Pioneer Society not stat
ed-took advantage OF the fact to
appear Before the Senators and urge a
long string of amendments to the
pending Statehood bill. AS we stated
a few days ago, any man that stands
| for any amendment to the bill now
before the Senate committee might as
we'll wear a label reading, II am an
enemy to Statehood" The individuals
who purported to speak for the
Pioneer Society" have treacherous
/ designs against the Statehood bill and
are afraid to come out into the open
and show their opposition, or they are
asses. Were all the citizens of Ari-
zona to be lined up and counted, and
polled as to their wishes, we do not
believe that nine men could be found
in opposition to the bill. The few
who would prefer a continuance OF
Territorial bondage get their inspira-
ton from Tucson. Very probably
some of those who Joined in recon-
mending the proposed amendments
did so in that ignorance which often
prompts the cheerful idiot to do things
simply because somebody tells him he
should.
No more effective plan for killing
the Omnibus bill could be devised
than that of tacking on amendments
which would require the measure tC
be returned to the House of Repre-
sentatives. The bill has already
passed the House and is awaiting the
action of the Senate. If passed BY

Arizona are highly cheering. If the

a doubt that ample proof would be

diced that we are fit for Statehood.

QUARANTINE NO SNAP
SOME EXPECT FREE GROCERIES
Smallpox Patients Guaranteed in
Their Homes Make Odd De-
mands on Officials

1t Is an old principle of the common
law that a mans house is his castle. And
under recent decisions Of the courts this
principle applies to the person afflicted
with smallpox as we'll as to his more
fortunate neighbor who has nothing
worse than a case Of measles. :.
The Minneapolis health department
recognizes the law in it's application to
smallpox patients. No one is forced to 60
to the quarantine hospital who prefers to
keep his own house, but Health Commits
sioner Hall requires an agreement from
all such patients that they will obey the
rules Of quarantine to the letter and ask
no aid from the city for food and, other
supplies during the quarantine period
One must either become a city boarder at
the hospital, where nothing Is changed in
case the patient is unable to pay, or be
sick at his own expense in his home.
Most persons prefer to accept the hosp1-
tally of the city. But several have taken
the alternative and in some of those
cases the department has been put to all
manner Of trouble through demands for
food and carelessness in observing the
quarantine regulations.
This morning a sanitary inspector nailed
I'D the front door of one place In order
to assist the police in inforcing quaran-
tine, and at the same time had to sub
NIT to heavy abuse for failure to send in
supplies. ,
TT is very curious thing" said one Of
the medical men of the department to-
day, chow it is that people who ordinarily
live we'll and seem to be in fairly good
circumstances will, after a day or two in
quarantine, find themselves without a
morsel of food in the house and not cent
to buy anything with. I ran across, one
of this class the other day. He drew
good salary, but only two days after being
quarantined he swore to me that he was
almost starved and hadn't a cent.
didn't give him a bit Of comfort; and
when he saw I couldn't be worked, he
hauled out roll Of bills as big as your
arm, pealed off flyer from the top and
asked me to send him stock of groceries
and food It seems to be the universal
rule that a person with the smallpox
thinks the city owes him and his family
support until he is out at work again."

ton also carries with it the title OF state

his bachelors and masters degree at
Harvard and then, spent one year at Johns

Board OF Control Relations.
Peace and harmony were the watchword
OF the joint meeting of the regents and

Ing. The meeting was called for the pur-
pose OF bringing the two boards together
for a discussion of their relations and to
agree upon plan Of settlement OF the
difficulty. .,,... ,-.....
All regents were present with the eX-
ception OF President Greenieaf Clark who

After lengthy discussion Of the posi-
lions of the two boards resolution was
drawn up, providing for the appointment
OF Regents A. e. Rice, Thomas Wilson
and William NJ. Ligget+ as committee
of the board of regents to confer with a
committee from the board Of control upon
plan Of cooperation and to report at
an adjourned meeting,
Just what the results of the confer
ence of the two committees will be is I'M
certain, but it Is construed to mean that
If the legislature does not amend the law,
the two boards will decide upon some plan
of harmonious action. The board of con-
troll, it is said, is not anxious to assume
control of the finances Of the university
but feels that under the law as it stands,
it Is obliged to DO so. The regents on
the other hand are unwilling to give up
any Of their rights. 1t is also the unani
nous opinion, Of the board of regents
that the university should not be classed
as charitable institution and they hope
that the law will be amended by the legis-
lature to that effect AS the board OF
control is said 10 be willing to be re-
lleVed OF the charge of the university's
affairs, 1t is very probable that they will

WORK FOR P:HONEC co.
Must Quit Grounding Wires BY
Means Of Radiators.
WATER DEPARTMENT SAYS so
Registrar Moody Says the Depart
ment Will Take No CHANGES
of Electr0lysis.

The Northwestern Telephone company
will hereafter have to use some other
means of grounding Its telephone wires
than by attaching them to radiators and
sill cocks or have a row with the water
department.
1t has lately come to the knowledge of
the department that the company's men
have often saved themselves trouble by
getting ground connection by fastening
the wires to sill cocks or radiators, and
the department has given notice to the
company that it must stop the practice
and forthwith remove all such connec-
tons, or else men from the department
would be instructed to cut attachments.
In explaining this order Registrar
Moody said: ~
do not imagine that limited use of sill
cocks and radiators for grounding telephone
wires would have any Injurious effect on
water mains OF service pipes. But other cities
ARE having trouble with .electrolysis these
days, and we do not propose to take any
chances. The Twin City Telephone company
has method OF grounding its wires by con-
Meeting them with steel spikes in the ground,
and there is positively no excuse for using
the city water mains. The Minneapolis water
department has thus, far escaped the effects
OF electlolysis, SO far as we have been able
to ascertain. We have investigated the mat
ter carefully for several years and save In
a few instances when street connections were
found to be affected, the water system below
ground is in good condition. seemingly,
as when laid. In St. Paul they are having
all manner of trouble and they hold the
street railway company responsible. I think
their system of placing their water mains

Washington, Jan. PA conference on
the Morris bill to amend the Nelson tim
Der law was held in Mr.. Tawney's commit
tee room to-day, beginning at 8 o'clock.
It was behind closed doors. In addition
to the members of the delegation, Colonel
John S. Cooper and Ferdinand Peck of

forestry division of the department of ag-
riculture; Mr.. Ayres Of the geological sur
vey, and Messrs. Bernard and Warren of
Cass Lake, were present to give their
views. >s-
ment. He explained the provisions of the
Nelson law and the difficulty that has
been experienced in enforcing 1t, and the
necessity for changes that will provide
for the disposition of Indian timber in
such manner that the Indians best in
terests shall be preserved. ............-
He explained provisions of the bill he
introduced at the beginning of the ses-
sion. He stated that it had the approval
OF the interior department and Indian
office. He also explained various PROPOSE
lions that have been presented for the
creation of q national park and for the
application of scientific forestry towards
it's preservation
He declared himself as willing to &C
commOdate himself 10 any reasonable
changes that might be suggested, and
hoped that the conference would resultsin
an agreement on a measure that the en-
tire delegation would support and push
through at this session.
Eddy followed Morris. He explained
his position on the amendment of the
Nelson law and provisions Of the bill in
troduced by himself last session, and this.
He said he thought the law should be
amended so that timber could be sold on
bank scale and lands then opened to set
Element under homestead laws. There
should be no dead and down operations,
but all timber should be clear from lands
so that it could be cultivated by home
steaders. He favored an amendment to
the Morris bill giving the purchaser the
option of manufacturing timber on the
reservation or some other place instead
of giving the secretary Of the interior the
option Of requiring the erection of mills
on the reservation.
No action will be taken by the delega-
ton at to-day's meeting. Representa-
tives of all interests will be heard and
the delegation will consider the problem
at one or more meetings to be held in the
near future.
