Information comes from Washington
that a movement is on foot among
some of the southwestern men there
to get Tams Bixby appointed secre-
tary of the interior in case Secretary
Hitchcock retires, as is now rumored
that he will in the near future. The
movement seems to be headed by Sen
ator Burton and Representative Curtis
of Kansas. They have represented to
the president that Tams has made a
good record as acting chairman of the
Dawes commission, is from the middle
west and is thoroughly familiar with
the conditions and problems which
confront that department This is not
the first time Mr.. Bixby's admirers
have proposed him for cabinet posi-
ton, and if Secretary Hitchcock re-
tires, ne may possibly prove formid-
able candidate for the place, as his
record on the Dawes commission is a
good one.

state the removal from the city and

There is no organization that is do
ing more in behalf of the young men
of the city than is the Young Mems
Christian Association under the guild
ance of Mr.. A. c. Gran. 1t has field
peculiarly its own and it is filling it
well. The welfare of young men
should be of interest to all, for they
are the mainstay of the future. In its
work of inspiring young men to a
better life, aiming at higher ideals
the Y. NJ. G. A. should have the CO.
operation of. all interested in better
ing the conditions of society. One of
the elements which is doing much to
aid our local organization in its great
work is the ladies auxiliary, which
renders much valuable assistance in
many ways. 1t looks after the furnish
ing of the rooms, making them pleas
ant, hospitable, home like and invit-
ing to the young men to frequent
them. 1t helps supply them reading
matter for the entertainment and pro-
fit of those desiring to read. 1t assists
in the social duties of entertaining
young men, helping those especially
whose home are elsewhere, to feel that
there are those even among strangers
who are interested in them. But al
his cannot be accomplished without
funds and to help meet the ex-
penses so incurred the ladies auxiliary
have planned an entertainment to take
place at the opera house on the eve
ming of April I'd, as has been noted in
our local columns. The Free Press does
not make practice of referring to
local entertainments in its editorial
columns, but in this instance where
the welfare of young men is CONSERVED
it cannot forego the opportunity to
impressupon those who have the interest
os Young men at heart, that this is
a splendid opportunity to lend hand
in their behalf. The ladies will give
you full value for the price of admis'
sion, while the receipts therefrom will
go to forward the splendid work being
done by the Y. M. Q. A.

st. Paul held primary electio-
Tuesday for the nomination of candi-
dates for mayor and the various city
offices at the coming municipal cleo
ton. Mayor Smith was renominated
by the Democrats and Frank B. Doran
by the Republicans for mayor. Judg-
ing from the reports in the papers of
that city the new law gave very good
satisfaction, the only complaint made
was that voters attending must de
clare their party preference. But this
is no worse than under the old system
where the attendance of caucus
marked a mans political belief, while
the voter gained the advantage of reg
istering his choice for each office to be
filled, whereas under the old caucus
system, he had the choice of one or
two, and had to trust to luck and the
oliticians for the rest of the ticket
Some $4,000 votes were cast, which
is large increase upon the forme
attendance at caucuses.

PREACHER SAW FIGHT

Bath, Me-. Sept. 24-Mike (Twin) Sulli-
van and Belfield Walcott of Boston
fought a lively l5-round draw here last
night. Neither fighter was able TO get in
telling punches. perhaps for the reason
that in the audience were Mayor K. w.
Hyde, and his guest, Rev. David L. Yale
of the Central Congregational church.
Mr. Yale last spring preached sermon
against fights here, and the mayor order
ed one scheduled affair stopped When
the announcement for tonight's bout was
made. the mayor asked the Clergyman to
go and see the sport. Sullivan was clever
in blocking Walcott's rapid leads.
