An Organization For
Law and Order.
Capt. j. w. Hamel, Chairman
Legislature Will be Asked to
Allow Towns to Vote
Upon Que stion of
Removal of Dis
pensaries.
The State, Goth, inst.

The conference called by com
mlttee of citizens was held last
night in the hall of the Y. Nj. G.
A. Col. James A. Hoyt of
Greenville was requested to act as
chairman, and Mr.. Thos. j. La
Motto of Columbia as secretary.
The object of the conference, as
was stated by the chairman, was
to initiate some practical measure
on non partisan and non-political
lines to improve the present con.
dltlon of affairs in the State, and
to concentrate into some kind of
organization all the elements that
are willing to work for the dc.
struction of those forces that tend
to perpetuate and enlarge the
sphere of intemperance and the
reign Of crime in South Carolina.
Law is mockery and order is
being turned into chaos under
present conditions, it is charged,
and surely the men and women of
South Carolina who are worthy of
the past and mindful of the future
stand ready to make ncedful sac
rifice for the betterment of our
condition.
The chairman announced that
the meeting was open for full
and free conference, and there
were no restrictions upon the
members present. This was fol
lowed by an Offering of sugges-
tions as TO the method of proce
dure, remarks being made by j.
w. Hamel, j. S. Beasley, p. L.
Sturkey, II. Morrell, W. l. Her
bert, Vernon l. Anson and others.
Under a resolution tho follow-
ing committee was appointed to
report a suitable name and plan
of organization: Messrs. LaMotte,
Sturkey, Beasley, Hand and
Hanson, which subsequently re-
ported as follows:
"Your committee recommend
that an organization be formed
under the name of 'The South
Carolina Temperance, Law and
Order League.
"That this conference elect a
chairman, and a secretary and
treasurer, with an executive COM
mittee consisting of one member
from each congressional district,
Of which the officers shall be men,
bers -officio, and that organiza.
tlons be made IN each county, the !
chairmen Of which shall be eX
oficio members of the State exec
utive committee.
"That the county organizations
shall consist of chairman, secre-
tary and treasurer, with such ex-
ecutive committee as may be
deemed proper.
Under the foregoing plan of or.
ganization the following officers
and members of the State execu-
tive committee were elected:

JUST CARPING.

Democratic papers in this State
are raising hue and cry because
the Boise Statesman received the
contract for printing legislative bills
at ninety cents page whereas one
Boot offered to do the work for
eighty-tive cents a page. Demo-
cratic papers, however, are not can
did enough to explain that two
years ago the Statesman offered to
do the work for ninety cents a page
and the Democratic Legislature paid
Democratic papers $I.5o a page.
Of course, everybody knows that
the IS cent bid was simply blind;
it was put in for the sole purpose
of affording Democracy some excuse
tor carping. The legislature did
exactly the right thing in awarding
the contract to the Statesman.
That paper is entitled to the print
ing by every principle of business
and political fairness. While our
Democratic brethren are agitating
this printing question they should
explain rhat two years ago a good
deal of printing was let to Demo
cratic publishers at price largely
in excess of what the work could
be done for, and these publishers
subsequently sublet the printing to
other publishers at a price which
enabled them to secure a rake-off
of forty or fifty per cent. See?

ROOSEVELT'S INTERFERENCE.

AS nearly as can be ascertained
at this distance from the scene, the
facts in the case of President Roose-
Velts alleged interference in the
Utah Senatorial contest seems
to be like this: Apostle Smoot,
a month ago, sent his mana
ger, Bob Loose, or loose bob,
to Washington to sound the Presi-
dent on the matter of the election
OF a Mormon Apostle to the United
States Senate. Apostle Smoot
wanted to know before hand about
the temperature of the reception he
would receive. Loose secured
private interview with the President
and asked him what he thought
about Apostle Smoot. The Presi-
dent told Loose he thought Smoot
was about the correct number for an
Apostle, but considered it bad busi-
ness to make a Senator of him,
The President believed that it would
hurt Utah, and start up the old
tight, with renewed bitterness.
Probably the President spoke very
pointedly and emphatically on the
subject. Later, his views became
known to the newspaper men, who
knoweth all things, and they were
telegraphed over the country.
That's all there is to it. Smoot
wanted to know how the President
felt and found out.

Values Due to Irrigation.

The striking statement is made
in the current report of the Division
of Hydrograhy of the United States
Geological Survey, now in press,
that:
1.-The open range of the arid
region is generally stated to be
capable of supporting one cow to
every 20 acres. The same land
when watered and put in alfalfa will
frequently feed ten cows to every
20 acres, or in orchards at favorable
attitudes will support a family of
three, or even five, persons. The
open range may have value of so
cents an acre, while under irrigation
the selling price may jump to $50
an acre, and if in orchards to $500
an acre. Thus the values of the
lands are directly reversed, the graz
ing land having the greatest extent
and the least value, and the irrigate
land the least extent and the great
est Value
The progress of the West is so
dependent on the amount and the
intelligent use of its water supply
that the Geological Survey, in its
study of the water resources of the
country, has made a special effort
to collect full information regarding
the character and regimen of all
the important streams and other
sources Of water supply of that Sec
ton. This investigation includes
systematic measurements of flow,
the survey of reservoir sites, the
study of water conservati on, and
the consideration of the use of water
on important watersheds.-Wood

FALSE IMPRESSION.

An impression has prevailed here
for long time that the Oregon
Short Line was discriminating
against Caldwell in the matter of
freight rates. An examination of
tie company's printed schedules
shows that the impression is not
warranted by facts, unless there is
some secret understanding, which
is not at all probable. In freight
matters as in other respects, the
Oregon Short Line seems to treat
Caldwell as fairly and impartially
as other points.
This false impression has prob
ably at times led the people of Cald-
we'll to be rather severe and unfair
to the railroad company. 1t is
quite possible, we think, to obtain
redress of wrongs which the rail-
road company may inadvertently
int1ict, without having bad blood,
and we doubt if the Oregon Short
Line people would purposely dis
cr1m1nate against Caldwell or any
other community.
