LEAKY. ROOFS

are an abomination. You may be tired Of talks
about various things, but if you troubled with
leaky roof, the water that wastes,
we may be able to help you. Many houses have fiat
deck on top, or bay window, porch that should
have tin roof, which when properly laid and paint
ed at suitable intervals will last many years. We
prepared to do such job and do it right.
Soft water for family use is great thing. A gall
vanized trough will it for you and also save
the foundation wall great deal We keep different
sizes hand and would be glad to talk with you
about it.
If you have tarred felt roof that is leaky, possibly
patch would make it good for time This we
would be glad to fix for you if you wish; that's
part of our business.

Editor Independent: | am pleased
with your grand style OF exposing tie
sham and trucking acts of the WASH
ington government. Our lawmakers
are set of frauds, both in state and
nation, tools for corporations, only
an echo"
| wrote one of our congressman
few days ago that the whole Wash
ington government was set of graft
ers, and he resented the charge by re-
plying that we had an honest govern
ment under the administration Of
President Roosevelt. Only think, AN
honest" administration, and 161 con-
gressmen now under condemnation
for grating!
This same congressman has got
resolution passed to Investigate Lle

doing business in this state. | would
like for him to explain why he Sill
gled out the beef trust, when there is
not one in this state. and why go on
into other states to do missionary
work.
We elect congressman to legisldte
for us, but we never get any laws for
the masses to lessen the burden. Tie
reason is obvious. The legislator or
congressman who does anything
against the combines and cesspools OF
boodlers loses his political head at
once.
We have lost our republican form

(The Independent asks its readers

who live with the provincials down ny
the sea. Their environment is very
different from that which surrounds
us in the free and boundless west. The
Independent let's them have their say
along with everybody else. The most
that can be said of them is that they
have got far enough along to join the
disconnected. Some statements they
make are very astonishing to those
who have fought the battles OF refoi n
for the last twelve years out here on
these plains. Mr.. De Hart wants Mr..
Bryan to put an income tax plank in
the democratic platform. Is 1t POS
sible that he does not know that Mr..
Bryan aided in getting an income tax
incorporated in the Wilson bill, Or
that the supreme court has declared
that income taxes are uncOnstitu-
tional? The play upon words by which
he makes Mr.. Bryan use the word
benefited as applying to majority
of the people, when it was used OILY
as describing the few who get millions
out of the people by tariff grating can
hardly be read with patience.-Ed.

Explanation of the Ruler
TROUBLE MAY FOLLOW
Unless ReparatiOn Is Made
There Will Be a Military
and Naval Demonstration
TROUBLE MAY FOLLOW

PARIS, Dec. 23.-The Foreign Ofice
considers the situation in Morocco ex-
tremely grave. The Sultan's dismissal
of his French and other military ad-
visers has been followed by q number
of acts showing his intention to inter-
rupt the execution of the French pol
Icy. Accordingly, the French Min
lister at Tangier has been instructed to
secure the immediate withdrawal from
the Moroccan capital Of the French
Consul and all the members of the mil
itary mission and all French citizens
unless the Sultan vacates his previous
offensive action and offers suitable
explanation.
The French Minister has been in
structcd to communicate this to the
Sultan at the same time he notifies the
Consul, military men and citizens to
prepare to depart. The officials here
say that no definite military or naval
steps have yet been taken, as these
await the Sultan's response to the Min
ister's demand; but a demonstration
in force will follow if a suitable ex-
PLANTATION and reparation are not
promptly given.
The correspondent at Tangier of the
Matin says that after calling at the
French Mission the Ministers Of the
several powers ordered all the people of
their nationalities to quit Fez.

the only member of the family who
would see callers tonight.
My mother is still very ILL.," he
said. She has hardly slept since the
jury went out yesterday and l was up
with her all night. Her feeling, of
course. is very intense. and her dis
appointment at the failure of the jury
to agree when she confidently ex-
pected an acquittal is very bitter and
very hard to bear.
AS the jury was kept out so long
we all hoped for a final verdict of not
guilty and thought Nan would be here
TO spend Christmas with us. OF course
the intimation that the case may never
come to trial again is some consola-
ton"
Mrs. Patterson is more than 60

accomplished in the face of a pretty

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK. Dec. 23.-Charles F.
Dodge, the former husband of the pres
ent wife Of Charles w. Morse, the ice
king, was safely landed in police head
quarters tonight after he had made an
effort to throw himself from the steam
er on which he was brought from Tex
as. officers of the steamer Lampasas.
on which Dodge was brought from
Texas, say that en- route when they
pretended to be off guard, without an
for the guard rail and was just about
to spring over when they grabbed him
and got him back into his room. He
screamed that he wanted TO end his
life and that they would never get him
back to New York alive.
Ii is reported that Dodge has made a
complete confession of the inside facts
of the famous Dodge-Morse case, in
volving prominent New Workers in a
double case of conspiracy and black
mail.
For Ave hours Dodge was closeted
in the private Office of Commissioner
McAdoo with the United States Mar
shals and Assistant District Attorney
Garvan. while Barlow S. Weeks. his
attorney, stormed at the door and de-
manded admittance to the room
where Dodge was undergoing the
third degree.
The District Attorney has been after
Dodge for more than year and has
spent more than $1,000 in the pur-
suit.
Dodge married Miss Clemence
Cowles in San Francisco in 1877. In
1889 she separated from him, and in
1898 secured divorce. She married
the ice king c. w. Morse. in 1901. In
1903 Justice Scott set aside the decree
of divorce from Dodge because he was
not served with the papers, and her
marriage TO Morse was annulled. She
again sued Dodge for divorce. A let
ter was then discovered in which
Dodge admitted he had been legally
served with the notice in her first pro-
ceedings. Dodge was indicted for per-
jury. The court thereupon reinstated
the original divorce and she again be-
came Mrs. Morse.
