Now 1t is up to the Democrats.
They meet in convention at st. Louis
on July 6. The probability Of the
nomination of Judge Parker is good;
but that the judge will really be nom-
mated Is not at all certain. There are
quite a number Of politicians in. the
party who are scheming to further
their own ends. and they may at least
succeed in bringing about hopeless
confusion.

THE pledge that the Democratic
Executive committee of Richland coun-
ty has arranged to exact of all candt-
dates is along the right line and 1t
would be better for the state and the
party if the executive committees of
the other counties would follow the
lead that Richland has set. If the
candidates all refuse to buy votes no
votes will be sold.

IT will require 663 votes to nomi-

Parker has 270 delegates pledged to

be required to vote for various favor
ties on the first ballot.

London, May 26.-Sir John Mac

Every belligerent is free, | take it,

are scattered broadcast on the high

just cause, and think it would not
avail belligerents to argue that they

make certain waters impossible.
Neutrals, however, are no longer
united to arrest encrOachments of bel.

we today suffer from?

Washington, May 26.-In connection
with the decision of the postoffice de-
partment to take steps to eliminate Oh
jectionable patent medicine and other
advertisements from the newspapers,
AS announced some weeks ago, it was
stated yesterday that all these cases
would be taken up individually on
their merits. Each case will be con-
sidered carefully by the law officers of
the department, and when the cases
are found to involve violations of the
law governing such matters, the Amer.
lean Newspaper Publishers Association
will be notified. That body, according
TO the present plan, is to notify all Of
it's papers that the advertisement is
contrary to law.
The papers that are not represented
in the publishers association will be
notified directly by the department,
and wherever papers so notified refuse
to eliminate the Objectionable matter
the postoffice department will exclude
them from the mails.

BIBLES IN MANY TONGUES.
They Can He Had in All Languages, at
All Prices.

Bibles are as plentiful in New York
as blackberries in August One Bible
house offers the Scriptures in sixty
three languages Not only this. but
the Bible il offered in many different
forms in most of these languages. as
a whole, the New Testament only. the
gospels and the psalms. singly, in two
languages with parallel texts, so that
the reader may not only make him
self acquainted with holy writ. but at
the same time may acquire some
knowledge of a foreign tongue.
They are all prices. If YOU wish
you may have the Scriptures i'll Tur-
key morocco. with gilt edges and bcv-
eled boards for SIS. or you may have
the whole Bible in cloth or paper. with
rather small print, at IL cents. You
may have the New Testament in the
same fashion for > cents. or you may
have single gospel in any one of
half dozen languages for > cents.
You may get Il paperbound Chinese
Bible In four volumes for 81. or the

costs 80 cents and the New Testament
20 cents. You may have the Old Tcs-
lament in Malay for use in our far
island possessions at - cents. or any
one Of the gospels in Tagalog at II
cents The Cherokee New Testament
costs 80 cents and you may have the
Scriptures in whole or in part in any
one of half a dozen American Indian

cents to ST.
The German English New Tesla

columns, costs % cents and an Italian

You may have Il Hebrew English Old

case excellent return for the investment
is a reasonable prospect. This service
ability of voie in practically all the
many forms is feature that backs up
its styishness finely and that accounts
in considerable degree for the remarka

The manner of making gowns from
the transparent and semi-transparent
stuffs is to be such that their tilminess
is not to be fairly hammered into the OBJ
server at every look. There is not to be-
any recurrence of the see tn rough effects
of few summers ago. Ribbons of con
trasting color will not show through to

be better left without any such disclos

Of coloring throughout the costume is to
be one OF the most pronounced fancies

AS TO LAND FRAUDS.
Department Says Only Isolated Cases
In Washington.

Department. Says Only Isolated Cases
In Washington.
Washington, May 25.-Announce-
ment is made here that Special Agent
Sidney Miller of the general land Office
has been relieved from duty in the
Yakima and Walla Walla districts in
Washington state, and that r. j. Nc
DOwell will take up that work 1t
is said positively, however, that this
action is not taken because of ineffi-
cheney on Millers part, but for other
causes not disclosed.
Officials of the land office also deny
storise which have been sent from
Eastern Washington to the effect that
extensive land frauds have been per-
petrated in that section of the state
and that certain prominent persons are
to be prosecuted for these frauds. 1t
is admitted that there have been scat
tered cases whree entries have been
made under the timber and stone act
and the communication clause of the
homestead act for parties other than
the entrymen, but no extensive frauds
have been uncovered.
In fact, it is said, such entries have
teen made in all the public land
states, and suitable action taken to
prevent the fraudulent entries from
passing to patent.
What the officials here complain of
most is a practice that obtains among
certain people of making homestead
entries on timbered lands, removing
the timber thereon, and then abandon
ing the land. 1t will be difficult to
prevent entrymen from doing this, as
under the law they have control of the
land and can remove timber if they
see fit.
Instructions will be issued to the To-
ral land officers to make special in
quiries into the good faith of entry
men, with Il view to stopping this
practice.
A very careful inquiry has been
made of all entries nnder the various
land acts for lands in the state of
Washington, but no more serious con-
hition has been disc losed than is here
stated
