THAT LEASING BILL.

President F. G. Lusk OF the Amer
lean Cattle Growers association, was
heard last week by the House Sommit-
tee on Public Lanas in favor of the
Millard Bill for the leasing of public
grazing land. During the hearing
Representative Moody OF Oregon,
called attention to the fact mat while
the bill permitted homestead entries,
1t virtually blocned the operations OF
the homestead law, by failing to pro-
vice that persons making homesteads
on lands under lease could secure any
ieasehold, and that homesteaders in
the range section Of the most western
states. unless they had use of suf-
ficient range 10 Craze stock, could not
make living.
John 7. Irish also appeared in ad-
vocacy Of the bill and criticised the
protests and petitions from Eastern
men and others, alleging that they
were prepared and circulated by Geo.
II. MAxN president OF the National
irrigation association, whom he as
serted with positiveness was in the
employ Of lac railroad company.

Bret Harte Dead.

Francis Bret Harte died in Lon.
don on Tuesday, at the age of G3.
He was born in Albany, N. Y, in
1889. He went to San Francisco
in an early day, and was printer
and afterwards connected with
numerous publications. His fame
was first established on broad
grounds as editor of the Overland
Monthly. ''The Luck of Roaring
Camp" was a great card, but 1.-The
Heather Chinee." which appeared
in 1870, was his masterpiece, and
created sensation throughout
literary circles. For number
of years Bret Hnrte had lived in
London. Why he should want TO

bury himself in such a dull old
pile of stone and mortar was a
mystery 70 his friends. -Ex.

''At any rate we arc unable to
find, in any curriculum of any nors
NAL school. an indication of such
special training as would alone
justify the large expenditures
made for the support of these in.
stitutions. The catalogues of the
Missouri normal schools read like
an abridged edition of those of the

dition of the chair Of pedagogies,
and if it is necessary to retain this
chair, we ARE satisfied it can be

waste of the peoples money to
erect there large and costly
structure for teaching what does
not amount even to the dignity of
n postgraduate course. And the
party in control of the next legis-
lature, be it democratic or repub-
lican, will merit condemnation If
it is guilty of such extravaganza"
The above is from the Missouri
State Republican, 4. J. Atkins
organ. Mr.. Atkins is the man thst
wants TO be retained as state chair
man of tho republican party. You
will notice that this writer says
the normal is of no great use, that
1t has done no very great good,
and that it is useless to have the
Legislature appropriate anything
for the rebuilding of the normal.
Mr.. Atkins should be set down
on as state chairman as long as he
champions a paper that will make
such statements.
The fact is that the state nor
NAL schools have done more for
the poor young man, the young
man with laudable ambition and
little money, than the university.
The Southeast normal will lie

Don't Want hormals.

"The insurance upon tho nor.
NAL school building which was
recently destroyed by Ere at
Cape Girardeau is far more than
$30.C00. This sum will erect a
building answering every re-
quirement, and affording ample
room for teaching course of
pedagogics, the teaching of which
in normal school must of neces-
sity be theoretical and not practi-
cal. Tho truth is that, although
most of the states in the union
have been appropriating such
sums of money for the building
and equipment Of normal schools
as would indicate that their utility
and necessity are established,
such is not the fact. Many of
the ablest economist and pub.
licists of the old world maintain
that they serve no useful purpose
in educational work, and we have
yet to see an answer TO these
arguments, in spite of which we
have gone on levying high taxes
for paying great appropriations
TO erect and maintain such insti-
tut:ons. Missouri has within the
past decade paid millions of dol
lars for something which cannot
be proved to be anything better
than fifth wheel to o wagon.

tury missions have just as in
dubitable divine warrant. Provi
dences are so numerous and
marked that DR.. Pierson write;

For hundred years Luke was
supposed to be in error in calling
Sergius proconsul. Authorities
seem to agree that Cyprus was an
important province. and hence
goverened by legate instead OF

criticism forms the dark back
ground on which the historical
accuracy of Luke shines the
brighter. 1t is now discovered
that, although originally an i'm.
perial province, it was subse.
quently ceded to the senate, and
thenceforth governed by pro.
consul. In view OF such an Incl.
dent, which is far from standing

Climate and Crop Bulletin

Of the Weather Bureau, Missouri
Section, U. S. Department OF Agri.
culture, for the week ending May
| 8, 1902.
Warm, showery weather has
prevailed throughout the greater
part of the state during the past
week and as a result there has
been marked improvement 10
the condition of all growing crops.
The rains were local in character
and rather poorly distributed, but
except IN the extreme western and
few OF the central and north.
eastern counties the total rainfall
for the week generally exceeded
l inch. Very heavy downpours,
accompanied by high winds and
hail. occurred in q number of the
central and southern counties and
in some localities corn land was
badly washed, low lands were
flooded, and much damage was
done by hail to fruit trees, gardens
aud wheat. In a number OF the
northwestern counties the rains
were too light to be of much ben
eft and wheat. oats, grasses and
gardens are still suffering from
drouth and stock water continues
very scarce.
In many of the central and
eastern counties corn planting has
been retarded by the frequent
showers. but as a rule only small
portion of the crop remains to be
planted in those sections. In the
western sections planting is rapid.
ly nearing completion, and it is
now well advanced 10 the northern
counties. In few localities there
is complaint that corn has not
come up we'll, owing to the cold.
ness of the ground and to poor
seed, but as a rule it is coming up
to good stands and cultivation has
commenced. Cut worms are do.
ing some damage in a few coun-
ties. Cotton is nearly all planted
in the extreme southeastern coun.
ties and is coming up well. In
some of the northwestern coun-
ties wheat is still suffering from
lack OF moisture but generally
throughout the northern sections
it is improving rapidly since the
rains. In most of the central and
southern counties it continues iD
excellent condition and early fields
in some of the southern counties
are now ''in the boot" Rye is
also doing we'll and is heading.
Oats are looking badly in some of
the northern counties, but where
good rains have fallen they are
improving. In the central and
southern sections they are gener-
ally doing well. In the north west.

has been light, grasses have made

He pointed out tho growth ol

and in the name of God, the Faith.
er. he welcomed the delegates and
the cause for which they fought.
The state superintendent, DIR.
f.. Il. Barclay, was introduced as
the speaker of the evening. He
said in part: mo one Is more
astonisheG than myself.atthe phe-
nominal growth of this movement
in the past fifteen months. The
number of field workers engaged
and under appointment is seven,
and four more people are engaged
in'tho Office force. The speakers
have addressed over sixty thous.
and people, and raised about

in organizing, for literature and
forthe enforcement OF law. Over

rooms closed up and much i'm
proved tone of public sentiment
is seen all over the state. The
people only need leaders, q good
working plan and persistcpcy in
order to bring victory. The state
work Is thoroughly organized.
st. Louis, st. Joseph and twenty
four counties are now in line on
anti saloon league work. There
has been time to bring only one
county to the polls on this ques-
bon, where the saloon was voted
out three weeks ago by 800 ma
jority."
DR.. Barclay also stated that fu-
ture operations would be con
Quoted along three lines: Agita-
tion by pulpit, press and plat
forN; Legislation through men
elected TO Office who were pledged
to reform; law enforcement
through the officers legally en-
powered TO enforce law, or others
would be put in their place, as
has already been done in n num-
Der of places in Missouri.
The superintendent took the
chair as temporary presiding of
ficer and appointed committee
on nominations and one to re ar
rrn9e the program, as some os
the speakers were absent.
The adjournment was followed
by prayer.
The prayer and song service OF
the Wednesday morning service
was conducted by Rev. A. II.
Jones. Upon report of the com
mittee on nominations, the follow
ing officers were elected: DR.. E..
II. Barclay, president; Rev. A. s..
j. Baldridge, secretary; Rev. G..
N. Clark. treasurer.
The delegates from the several
counties were enrolled. AT the
continuation of the Wednesday
session the president stated that
the object of that day would be to
ascertain the condition of affairs
in the various counties. A five
minute report was made by each
delegate prescnt-very interest
ing expositions of the situations
which the local leagues had en-.
deavored toimpiovc, and proving
the necessity for more earnest,
consistent effort along the same
lines.
A campaign of agitation for or.
ganization was planned for all the
