Even the un- tutored natives are in better condition than they were year ago. Canadian Doctor looks less moth eaten and it is very noticeable that the local Laughing Waters do not drink as much as they did. hut are turning out their toes, holding up their heads and striving to be somebody. Within another year the Stroller hopes to have the whole tribe wearing garters and saying eyether and neyther.

the very place where the present eS-

forwards, when the eighty acres had
been subdvided into town lots, the
claim jumpers friend was able to
for the necessary release until law
yers found way to circumvent him.
All lawyers have discovered that
insurance companies are exceedingly
particular about the regularity OF titles
upon which they loan money and many
a farmer accepting a title carelessly
has found out later that he could not
borrow money on his land. Because of
the fact that tax claims are recorded
in the auditors office. court judgments
in the clerks office and mortgage rec
ords in the recorders office it is neces-
examining titles. AS the country
grows older the transfers in the
history of a land title become more
numerous, hence the liability for error
much greater, and as the lands in
crease in value the sums involved in
every transfer become SO large as to
make it very important that a title
be scrutinized with unusual care. The
bonding of abstractors would help
wonderfully but caution by the pur-
chaser should always be exercised.

MAYOR wEAyER,s OPPORTUNITY.

The Col. Lumpkin style of philan-
throphy as located in Westport by q
very entertaining writer in McClure's
magazine seems to have found its
counterpart in Philadelphia. Mayor
Weaver, machine made mayor, has
turned against his maker and by the
simple process Of being honest in pub
lie office has the whole people at his
chise steal. In a few short days he
has put to rout the whole corrpt ma
chine of the most dishonesty governed
city In the world. Councilmen are de-
sorting the corruptionists because
''they would be run out, of their wards
and the gas company has been conf
PEELED to withdraw from It's attempted
steal. Mayor Weaver himself is ap-
plauded wherever he goes the dis
public ovation whenever he appears
upon the streets going to his lunch.
Mayor Weaver, with the aid of the
newspapers and public sentiment has
given the machine the first defeat it
has had in many years. To do it he
had to use the extreme measure of
swinging the mayors axe down upon
the heads of two appointive officers
who were particularly active in push
ing the gas franchise steal and they
have already appealed to government
by injunction but the mayor has won.
There are 10000, employees on the city
payroll subject to removal by the
mayor and it was the threat to use the
official axe all along the line that
brought the rogues to time.
Now that the mayor has felt his
power and has seen what he can do it
is the hope of the whole nation that
he will lead reform that will clean
Philadelphia. He need only to- look
about him at Jerome in New York,
Deneen in Illinois and Folk in st.
Louis to see what the possibilities are
before him. These men were merely
prosecuting attorneys with no power
over appointees but two of them be-
came governors and the other one
could be. All are numbered among this
great men Of America today. Mayor
Weaver holds the axe that can sever
the official heads Of 10000 appointees
from their salaries and his vantage
point is thereby tremendously strong
err. Mayor Weaver can reform Phil
adelphia and become one Of the great
men OF the hour If he will. Can he see
his opportunity? y.
