are evidently we'll known to the Of
flcers Of the congress, as they have
been accorded the rare distinction of
being permitted to select their own
subjects without stating what they
are.
When such things are permitted it
is useless for the dissatisfied ones of
her sex to say that woman is not
given the recognition in the affairs
of men that should be accorded her.
Unless the title of the gentleman's
subject is very misleading, Mr.. David
Ross of Springfield, Ills, is likely to
receive scant attention and also prob
ably severe criticism from some of
thine delegates to the mining 0
gress and a large part of theapress of
the state. He is underscored for a
paper on ''The Economic Advantages
of Concentration of Capital and La
bor.' He may not attempt a defense
of trusts, but his subject, or at least
it's caption, is very suggestive.
AS was to be expected, the proposal
of Governor Toole to pardon the high
wayman, Clark, who is serving a 40.
year sentence at Deer Lodge for high
way robbery and attempted murder,
is causing more or less comment
throughout the state, although it is
unlikely that any objection will be
made to granting the pardon, as the
prosecuting attorney and Judge who
presided at the trial Of Clark are
among those who favor the commu-
tation. The officers who arrested the
fellow and who were instrumental in
securing the testimony which resulted
in his conviction do not take much
stock in the stories now told that
Clark was an innocent, unsophisticat-
ed fellow who was led astray by reas-
SON Of his infatuation of the woman
arrested with him, Helen Forsland.
They say he was considerably older
than she and also apparently much
smarter and wiser and that if any
leading into crime was done he was
at the loose end of the halter. But
for all this they will finterpose no OBJ

Tertiary. They say that America will

Killed and the Place Fired.

Elkhorn, Wis, Oct. 31-William
Wfckerson, aged forty-six; Albert
Wickerson, a brother, aged forty
three, and Julia Wickerson, a sister,
aged thirty-five years, were found
burned to death in their home ten
miles west of here. The news of the
catastrophe was brought to Elkhorn
by neighbors of the Wickersons. The
house was burned to the ground some
time during the night and the charred
remains of the victims were found in
the ruins in the morning. Nothing is
known as to the cause of the fire.
The Wickersons were well-to-do
farmers.
It is suspected that the Wickersons
were robbed and murdered and the
house set on fire to cover the crime.
When the flames were first discov-
cred the roof of the house had all
burned off and by the time that the
nearest neighbor, who lived a quarter
of mile away, reached the scene, the
structure was entirely wrapped in
flames.
Four other members of the family
were not at home at the time.
The Wickersons were reputed to be
wealthy and it was said that they were
accustomed to leave large sums OF
money around the house.
1t is supposed that somebody with
a knowledge of the fact committed the
robbery and then burned the house to
hide the deed. An investigation will
be made

SPANISH IN NEW MEXICO.

The Denver Republican, a strong
friend of statehood, has this to say on
the point made against New Mexico in
reference to the use of the Spanish
language in some parts of the terri
tory:
1T is indicated that the movement
In behalf of statehood for New Mexico
will encounter opposition on account
OF the fact that with a large percentage
of the population English it is not the
language of every day speech.
This would be equivalent to saying
mat men who cannot speak English
cannot discharge the duties of Ameri-
can citizenship in a proper way. Yet
these Spanish-speaking inhabitants OF
New Mexico are natives of the coun
try. New Mexico is their home, the
land of their birth and the native place
of their ancestors for five or six gener.
ations. They are law abiding and
faithful now and they would be no less
so if the territory were to become a
state.
''To exclude New Mexico from state
Rood on this ground would be to pun
ish Americans residing there and deny
them the right of self government
through no fault of their owl. To con
denim New Mexico on this account
would be inconsistent with the fact
that many of the existing states have
