TRIALS or a PEAcEMAkER
Walt Mason in Lincoln Journal.

Walt Mason In Lincoln Journal
Two merry old ladies who were next
door neighbors had their backyard row
every day. as regularly as the day came.
They were Woodworking women, who
could not afford to go to the theater, or
ride in carriages, or attend club meetings;
and a little friendly row once a day was
about their only diversion. Each had a
very choice and complete collection Of
epithets and adjectives, and it was really
a treat to the Innocent Bystander OF in
safe distance, and hear, these admirable
resorted to physical violence. altho they
did throw turnips at each other upon one
occasion. and one Of the ladies did take a
turkey by the legs, and hit the other over
the head with it, at later date. But
there was really no malice back Of 1t, and
the ladies' were in fact the best of friends.
But a strange woman moved into neigh
boring house, a woman Of high and haugh-
ty derr eanor. and she soon came to the
conclusion that these back yard rows were
a disgrace to the town, and to civilization.
So one day, when the tongues were clack-
ing. she went over to act as peacemaker.
She walked down the alley, and when she
came within fifteen feet of the warning
females she began delivering her little lee
ture. The ladies naturally resented such
impudence. Their pleasures were few
enough, and paltry enough, at best, and
they would stand no interference. AS tho
moved by one impulse, they began throw
ing things at the officious stranger.
Chunks Of stovewood, heads Of cabbage,
old tin cans, last years overshoes, every
thing that came to hand.

The South Encouraging Northern
Invasion.

The south is fully awake to the inn
portance of getting some new blood.
Homeseekers from Europe have until
recent years passed her almost en-
tirely by. Compared with the south,
the north is a foreign instead Of an
American country, If directness Of
descent from revolutionary Americans
is to be taken as the test Of American
ism.
Yet for some reasons that are pref
ty we'll understood, there has been
stagnation in the south, especially in
the rural regions, while there has been
activity in the north The advent Of
the manufacturing era has stirred up
the southern towns and cities, and
there can be little doubt that for the
next two or three decades there will
be more manufacturing expansion in
the south than in any other part Of
the country.
Already it consumes more raw cot
ton in it's mills than the north, tho so
recently as 1890 the north consumed
three times as much as the south.
Notwithstanding its child labor evil,
which is certain soon to be eliminated
the advent Of the manufacturing era
is distinctly good thing for the south.
It will bring wealth to the southern
states and will greatly stimulate all
the phases Of human progress. In
the last ten years the value Of prop
erty in the south has increased 81 per
Ecent and the per capita distribution
Of wealth has increased 23 per cent as
compared with 2 per cent in New Eng
land and 8 per cent in the middle
states. Southern manufactures have
now attained sufficient momentum to
take care Of themselves.
| The progressive people of the south
are now considering how to stimulate
the rural regions. They have decided
! that the best way to do this is to at
tract farmers from the north and west,
who thru different social and economic
conditions have got into the habit OF
being progressive.

No Reform in Pennsylvania.

The joint committee for the pros
motion Of electoral reforms in Penn
sylvania has made report on its re-
cent work, which shows how COM
pletely Pennsylvania is still dominated
by the worst kind of political boss
isn1-that which resorts to election
frauds to attain it's ends.
One great obstacle to the attain
ment of honest elections in Pennsyl-
vania is the lack Of a system of per-
sonal registration of voters. This
makes possible and easy various sorts
Of ballot box frauds. The committee
saw that there could be no genuine
political reform in Pennsylvania until
that state adopted personal registra-
ton. They, therefore, began in 1901
a campaign to secure the adoption of
amendments to the constitution max
ing 1t possible for the legislature to

A certain squire Of hescity, who be-
trays his patriotism by presiding in a
small office painted red, white and blue
and located along the Panhandle tracks,
had a case before him the other day which
attracted an unusual crowd to the temple
Of justice. A young fellow was UP before
him on charge of stealing brass, and
his friends were out in full force to see
that he got fair show.
Before the case opened the noise and
confusion became so great that his honor
declared that the next man to indulge in
any unusual outbreak would be elected
from the room. He had hardly ceased
speaking when a young man shouted at
the same time waving his hat above his
head:
"Hooray fur Squire Hooligan!'
Put him out!' reared the court and
in another instant the young man found
himself being rushed to the door. Order
having been restored once more, his honor
ordered that the prisoner be brought be-
fore the bar for trial. The court officer
hurriedly glanced about thru the crowd,
and then a great light suddenly fell upon
him.
Cant do it, your honor" he replied.

the new country. At Battleford MI
Thomson asked a brawny young
mounted policeman If he were English,
and the following dialog ensued:
..No. thank Godn' Canadian" New
Brunswick How do you get along with

there were more Of 'en. They're the peo-
pie! It's Americans that are making this
country
1.-THE idea that the English imml-
grant could Angl'icize the northwest
was preposterous on the face OF 1t,
Mr.. Thompson continues, "but who
could have expected such an early
demonstration of the Amer1canlzatlon
of the English and Canadians? But
do not mistake this as likely to have
any annexationist tendency. Nothing
short of some imperialistic attempt to
limit the autonomy Of Canada, or
some new tory endeavor to exploit the
northwest seriously for the benefit Of
the PARKWAY eastern provinces manu-
features would be likely to breed here

ton from Ottawa"
Mr.. Thompson may be right-cer-
tainly this new American population is
not looking for trouble--but it is cer-
tain that these Americans will be
heard from in the politics of Canada
when they overcome old attachments
sufficiently to take the oath to the
king. Just as they are now showing
| their Canadian and English brethren
how to farm in the west they will
soon be showing them few tricks in
i politics.

enact the desired measure. The
amendments were adopted by the peo-
pie by a vote Of about five to one.
The next step was the formulation
OF a bill, and nearly a. year was spent
In preparing it. This bill was very
generally approved and Endorsed by
the newspapers. business bodies and
labor organizations of the state.
Inasmuch as the republican plat
form had declared in favor of the pro-
posed reform and the republican con-
vention had appointed a committee to
draft bills looking to that end, the
electoral reform committee called the
attention of the chairman Of the re-
publican state committee to this bill.
Nothing was done, however, and the
republican majority In the legislature
failed to take any interest in the
measure, Chairman Plumner Of the
committee, to which the bill had
been referred, even going so far
as to say that none but professional
formers favored the measure.
There is no doubt that the republican
machine, which represents about as
much political iniquity as Tamnany
does in New York, opposed the
measure because it does not desire
honest elections. There is no other
reason why a political organization
should oppose personal registration.
The committee will continue its
work for this rudimentary reform
measure, but the outlook is dis
couraging, because laws are made for
but by the republican machine. Not
until this machine becomes honest is
there much show for political reform,
in Pennsylvania, and there are no
signs of it's regeneration.
