Range Decision.

The United States supreme court has reversed the decision of the supreme court of Wyo- ming in the case of John Kelley, plaintiff in error, vs. Oliver S.. Rhoads. The case deals with an incident of seven years ago, when Kelley drove a herd of 10000 sheep from Utah through Wyoming to Pine Bluffs, Neb., for shipment to the east. The sheep were several weeks on the route, and during this time grazed on the public and private lands of the state. Kelley was assessed $25O in taxes by Rhoads, the treasurer of Laramie county, and this amount was collected from him, on the grounds that his sheep were in Wyoming, and terefor taxable. The matter was taken through the courts, and Rhoads was sustained in instance until it went to Wash ington. On the ground that such interference, if carried to excess, would interfere with in terstate commerce regulations: the supreme court, with instruc- tions, for proceedings not incon- sistant with the opinion rem dered. This means the return to Kelley of his S25O. Justice Brown, who delivered the opinion of the court, stated that it was plainly evident that the plain tiff found it cheaper to drive these sheep through Wyoming than to ship them, and there was no law to prevent their grazing on public and private lands as they went along.-Albuq. Citizen.

GOVERNOR BRODIE's MESSAGE
To the Twenty Second
 Legislature.

his first message to the twenty second legislative assembly last Monday and it is wholly credible to the author. The document throughout bears evidence of thought and careful preparation. Below few of the most import ant features of the message are given.
 He recommends that the filing of the articles of incorporation, which is now done in the office of the secretary of the territory, be done in the auditors office and the fees therefrom converted into the territorial treasury.
 He recommends that a law be made 10 regulate the taxation of mines by putting a levy on the output of the mines instead of the ground which they occupy.
 He recommends that better attention be paid to the collec- tion of poll taxes as they go to support the schools. The amount collected in 1901 was $46, ,553.64 and in 1902 $23,942.61. A de- decrease of $22,611.13.
 He states that all offices in this territory, where possible, both territorial and county, should be made salaried, and all fees turned into the territorial or county treasury. He states that the as- sessor should be elected instead of appointed.
 The governor urges that the eight-hour law be carefully con- sidered as it might not be satis- factory to all of the industries, and would do more harm than good.
 He recommends that the force of Arizona Rangers be doubled as Arizona is too large a terri tory to be covered by twelve men.
 He Says that the territorial prison is very expensive insti- tuition and some way should be devised so that 1t could be made to help support itself.
 He urges that a law be made to tax corporations doing business outside of Arizona when they are incorporated under. the laws of the territory. He states that it is no more than just because capitalists take advantage of the liberal corporation laws of Ari, zona and should be made to help the territorial government.
 He asks for power to use the National Guard and the Arizona Rangers to maintain strict quarantine along the Mexican border on account of the bubon- ic plague raging in that country.
 There are numerous other things which the governor rec ommel,ds that will promote the general welfare of the territory, if his plans are carried out.

PROHIBITION OF TOBACCO.
movement,

For the past twenty-three years the enforced alb
stnence from tobacco of the West Point cadets has
been constant source of complaint and has given
rise to any amount of deceit and surrepttiousness.
After last Fridays parade there was suddenly
posted up the order announcing that cadets per-
mitted to tobacco during relief from quarters
within the barrack limits. 1t was also announced
that cadets would be permitted to buy tobacco and
pipes from the post store. The order came as COM
piete surprise to everybody at the academy except
Col. Mills the commandant. 1t was the result of a
recommendation made by him to the secretary of
month ago.
1t was long ago that in spite of the severe
penalties, the order against smoking could not be
enforced largely for the that the cigarette
could be smuggled out of SIGHT so slyly to escape
detection Supt Mills and the other members of the
faculty wisely concluded then that a good deal less
harm would from the free use of tobacco in
pipes than from the secret use of cigarettes.
Another effect of prohibition which was discov
cred by watching the young cadets was that many
of them desired smoke because they regarded the
order unreasonable and therefore. took pains to
break it as often as possible

tional convention has met in New York The
wise men of the party have not considered it worth
while to expend good Republican money and con-
venton eloquence on city almost hopelessly Demo
cratic in presidential years. But neither the
other hand has New York exerted itself particularly
to become a convention city The Democrats met
here in 1868 to nominate Seymour and Blair. The
Liberal party of 1847 named its ticket in New York
John P Hale fer president and Leicester King for
vice-president-and the national conventions of
calistLabor parties have been held here in the last
three presidential years.
Baltimore was the favorlte convention city in
the earlier days of national parties. Philadelphia
got strong hold later. twas in 1860, with the
Lincoln ticket that Chicago began TO draw the dele
gates, and the convention tendency ever since has
been to favor the westward swing of the centre of
population The assemblage which named Mckinley
and Roosevelt at Philadelphia in 1900 the first
great convention held in the east since 1872.

COAL DEALERS AND UNDERTAKES.

At the recent session of the American Bar Asso-
attention to the growth of the movement for gov
eminent intervention to regulate activities OF various
SORTS.
During the past year laws were enacted for the
regulation of medical practitioners in FIVE states while
i'll one state board of pharmacy provided. Five
states provided for the regulation Of osteopathy
created boards of dental examiners three provided
for the oversight of the work of embalmers and five
brought the BARRIERS under governmental control.
Trained have been subjected to supervision
in five states, and in Massachusetts wholesale and
retail coal dealers required to obtain licenses
which are revokable when an extortionate price is
charged for fuel State control for various things
has been provided in other commemorative.
All this is interesting only as it shows that gov
interference with the activities of the peo
pie in the interest of the public health and welfare
meets with approval OF course this is but the
ercise of the police power in many instances. but
the movement which is growing in the states ought
precede legislation for the regulation control
of the trusts by the federal government to the end
that monopoly may be prevented and the people
guaranteed against oppression. That is sure to
time, and the next congress should start the
movement

OUR BIGGEST MOTOR.

In northern Michigan the biggest traction motor
ever built is in in the forests owned by the
Alger LAUNDERING Company. Its main purpose, as
described in the current Review of Reviews is to
haul sedges loaded with logs in the winter season.
The motor represents no less than 200 horse power
and is capable of hauling 100 of freight through
snowbeds which range from two TO three feet in
depth and across country where there is not even
a footpath Under these conditions the locomotive
will attain speed varying between three and four
miles hour according to the condition of the sur
face over which it is moved. Tests upon hard and
fairly smooth surface. such as packed snow or ice
show that it will develop speed of six miles an
hour. yet hauling $50 tons
1t has been placed in the service not only to haul
sledges loaded with logs but for pulling the logs
themselves through the woods and loading them on
the sledges This is done by attaching cable to the
log and pulling it to the top of the sedge The num-
Der of logs transported varies according TO their
size and the condition of the route but the loads
average from thirty to sixty tons yet only three men
are required for the train crew.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION,

Friends Of President Roosevelt are reported as
suggesting to him the ACCESSIBILITY of having New
York selected the meeting place of the convention
which will renominate him next year 1t is argued
says the New York World. that the west is already
sufficiently solid for the president that it is in his
own state if anywhere. and in the lower business
end Of Manhattan Island in particular that Mr.. Roose
welt needs the helpful popular enthusiasm of great
convention Gov, odelrs small plurality in 1900 is
pointed ont with other circumstances indicating the
existence OF party friction in this state which cannot
be ignored in the face of an apparently united De-
mocracy
If Mr. Roosevelt decides that he wants the con-
vention in this city and can persuade the western
manageable men with the deciding votes-to &C
commodate him, there will be something really new
