EDITORIAL THAT WAS APPRECIATED

EDITORIAL THAT WAS APPRECIATES
An expression Of appreciation
is something that rarely ever
comes home tothe sanctum OF the
newspaper man, and when some
one whose Judgment is valuable
takes the time and trouble to tell
you that something that has ap-
peared in your newspaper is real
ly a little better than the average,
it brings a certain amount OF joy
and comfort to the editor. Such
expressions as the following are
to the editor like finding an oasis
in the desert. Here is what the
Honorable John M. Whitehead,
late candidate for the republican
nomination for governor, has
written the editor of The TINES:
Il am in receipt of a copy OF
your paper, containing the editor
ial on sWhither are We Drifting!

Election in it. / think the ques-
ton which you ask is being con-
sidered carefully by a great
many people all over the state.
*** Thanking you for the paper
and wishing you success, Ire
main, very truly yours, John NJ.
Whitehead. /"
Charles F. Pfster writes:
"Your paper Of this week was
received by me this morning and

opinion as able as any editorial |

Mr.. Pfster, who commented up

A number Of state papers,
among them the Evening Wiscon-

also commented favorably upon
the editorial.
The women have a perfect
right to vote at the coming cleo

the attorney general Their
right does not extend to all the
offices, butt does apply to the
position of state superintendent

reply to an inquiry upon the sub

Attorney General Hicks says in
part:
"In reply, will say that chap
ter 285, laws of 1901, passed as
an amendment to section 428 a,

among other things that
"Seperate ballot boxes shall be

desiring to vote on said school
matters, and separate ballots
shall also be provided for the use

THE easiest thing in all this

The easiest thing in all this
broad world is to criticise.
There is not man, woman or
child that is not at some time
subject to it. How easy then is
it in the whirlof politics to resort
to this sort Of thing. The best
public official is not exempted
from it, and the more the thing
grows the more scathing are the
critics. just now this sort of
thing seems to be somewhat of a
mania among the republicans of
Wisconsin, and the sooner a lot
OF the needless article is cut out
the better it will be. The party
seems too strong for united effort,
but should Mayor Rose or some
other democrat clean us out this
year there will be radical awak-
ening, and republicans will again
be brought to their senses.

Great Dismal Swamp.

The United States Geological Sur
vey has recently issued a special map
formed by combining a number of
topographic sheets. previously pub
lished, Of the country surrounding
Norfolk, Virginia. The section COW
cred by the new map, known as the
Norfolk quadrangle, includes Fort
Monroe, Newport News, Hampton
Roads. Norfolk and Portsmouth and
extends for about four miles south of
the North Carolina line; 1t also COW
ers a large area of the Dismal Swamp.
A striking popularity Of the Dismal
Swamp is clearly brought out by the
map, which shows that the surface of
the swamp stands from seven to ten
feet higher than the surrounding coun-
try, and the unusual phenomenon Of
streams draining out of it in all direc-
tions is observed.

DR.. Hauthal reached the places OF

striking. indeed. But he found that
they were just ordinary clear Ice and
that they took form through the ef-

Cane 70 calro Railroad.

Since the Boer war the road build
ers on the Cape to Cairo railroad have
been pushing It rapidly toward the
north. The road has been surveyed as
far as Victoria Falls, the largest falls
in the world. on the Zambesi river.
The roadbed has been graded for
about a third Of the distance between
Bulawayo and the Zambesi, the rails
are being laid and It is expected that
late next year trains will be running to
Victoria Falls all the way from Cape
Town. 100 miles. Meanwhile a force
of surveyors is laying out the route
far north Of the Zambesi.
The most astonishing things are
done In Africa nowadays. and the
world will not be very much surprised
when It finds in a few years more that
this long railroad, extending from the
extreme south Of Africa to the mouth
Of the Nile, is a full-hedged reality.

shark b Flahermsns 49,

a monster %man-eating shark over
fifteen feet long. and Weighing nearly
q ton, was caught by Frank r. Peter
son AMI Henry A. Thomas at white
horse beach, Manomet, Mass, the
other afternoon. The shark, which is
of a species rarely seen in northern
waters, is the same one which caught
James Rooney, = resident OF White
horse Beach. by the hand, and pulled
him or a dory, to his death. some time
ago. Rooney had hts hand in the
wGter, when the moster came up per-
pendicularly, and caught him. A
woman on shore saw the shark, and
l~iie-savers put out to his rescue, but
the body was never found. The
shark probably dragged him to the
bottom and ate him. Such a fish would
ordinarily go through a net, but a
sharks tendency is to turn itself over
and over, and in this way he wound
himself ell up in the net, which the
two fishermen, Peterson and Thomas,
were hauling in. There was plenty Of
fight left in him, and he gave them a
desperate battle before they we're able
to drive a lance into his brains.

It is well known that the Moors are
inveterate coffee drinkers, especially
the merchants, who sit in their ba-
zaars and drink coffee continually dur.
ing the day. It has been noticed that
almost invariably when these coffee
drinkers reach the age of 40 or As
their eyesight begins to fail, and by
the time they get to be so years old
they become blind. One is forcibly
impressed by the number Of blind
men that are lei about the streets OF
the city of Fez, the capital Of Moroc-
co. It is invariably attributed to the
excessive use of coffee. This opinion
has been confirmed by the opinion OF
European physicians living there.

How The Large Cattle Owners Of Wyo-

In Wyoming. writes w. "A. Brown m

been so many years coming 20 q head.
Why, I remember fifteen years ago
when Judge McGinnis became 80 dis
gusted with The work in the neighbOr-
hood around where Whoatland Is now
that he refused TO have anything to do
with cattle squab0les and threw an the
cases out Of court. The big cattle men
up around there we're opposed TO new
settlers coming IN and cutting them
out Of any part of the government
land. As oOn as a little fellow came
Ia they set to work to make It so UNI
comfortable that he would have to get
out.
They made a practice of employing
attic detectives to hound the little fell
lows and round them up on all sorts Of
charges Of cattle stealing and MAYER
licking. Things came to such a pass
that Judge McGinnis lost all patience.
The only evidence they brought aip 20
him was that offered by the paid cattle
detectives. and he told them to go
home and quit bringing that sort Of
stun to his court. The result was that
the cattle men took things more and
more into their hands. and became so
obsterperous that they organized the
raid Of 1892 against the small home
steaders of Johnston county.
DR.. Barber was acting governor OF
the state at that time and was friend
" with all the big cattlemen. He Is a
sort Of Ward McAllister out this way

but easily led. His friends got him to
sanction the fitting up of the ammuni-
ton train for the cattle men to 60 out
on the raid against the ranchmen, and
afterwards he had to hustle around to
save the invaders from being massa-
cred. The ranchers united to defend
their homes, trapped the invaders and
would have shot them like wolves II
the United States troops had not been
sent to rescue them.
Il cost the cattle men 500. 600 to de-
fend their performances that trip.
They employed every lawyer Of any
ability in the country to help them out
OF their fix. Judge Lacey, who de-
Tended Horn, was one of the smartest
they had. They got off with fines and
some minor punishments. The big
cattle companies that were mixed up in
that scandal are mostly out of exist
ence now, though some of them which
have been Horns employers, are the
outgrowth. They keep the same cattle
detective methods. The big companies
do not want the country settled up.
They wan to acquire miles of land
themselves and anybody who comes in
and files on small parcels of govern
ment land near them is no better than
a thief in their estimation. and they
will treat the settlers that way until
they strike a power greater than their
own.
