executive officer, d. Clarence Glib
bony, is said to have broken up
400 gambling dens and about
1000 houses OF i'll repute. They
have been making the raids with
out the cooperation of the city
police, because it was found when
ever they told the police what
gambling dens they were going
to investigate, the gamblers al
waysreceived warning in advance.
And now a bill has been intro
duced in the Legislature forbid
ding the law and order society to
make any raids without previous
ly notifying the police.
What adds still more to the
terribleness of the situation in
Philadelphia is the fact that a
majority of the voters submit to
all this with the patience of
lambs while in Denver they are
making vigorous efforts to get
of it.
What is true of Philadelphia is
true of majority of our large
cities. If women were given the
ballot to-day in Philadelphia
there is not a doubt but the whole
mass of corruption would be laid
to them, it would at least show
the failure of women suffrage if
they were not able to eliminate
all the corruption that has been
entrench1ng itself in the very
life of the city government for
years.
Christ'S rebuke to the Scribes
and Pharises seems most fitting
in its application to these people
who are so afraid Of the votes OF
corrupt women when He says;
CIV oe unto you, Scribes and
Pharises, hypocrites! Ye blind
guides, which strain at a gnat,
and swallow a camel"

Biennial Elections.

The biennial election bills have
been approved by the governor.
Should these bills stand the test
of the courts there will be no
election this fall. The present
iucumbents will hold over next
year. There is question of the
constitutionality of the bills and
doubtless they will be tested in
the supreme court in time for an
election this fall, if they are de.
clared void. In the meantime as

we'll consider the matter off for
one more year and the present
occupants may prepare for an
other year of public service. The
principal bill is H. r. 235, pro-

the even year for all state, county
and judicial officers and precinct
officers. H. r. BIS provides fol-

The Rallroad Commission.

Ir passing the bill providing
for the election of a railroad COM
mission to regulate freight rates
we are inclined to think the legis-
lature did good thing. While
there was a general clamor for a
freight rate bill there is a serious
question as to whether the mem
bers of the Legislature were suffi-
GENTLY informed on railroad BUSH
ness to have drafted a bill that
would have been just to all con-
cerned. The fusion Legislature,
ten or twelve years ago attempted
the task of regulating freight
rates and failed in making rates
that would stand the scrutiny OF
the supreme court. BY electing a
commission for that purpose, Of
able men it will enable them tC
adjust rates fairly to all concern
ed.
Should they fail in this the
people will have the power to re-
place them with men who will.

Important Laws.

Among the new laws enacted
by the last Legislature is one fix
ing a penalty for a woman de-
serting her husband and cohabit-
ing with another man at impris-
onment in Jail for one year, or a
fine of $500. The penalty impos-
ed on a man for adultry is fixed
at two years in the penitentiary
or fine not to exceed $500, or
both, in the discretion of the
court.

The biennial election bill passed
the senate on w Wednesday Of last
week with but two opposing
votes. This does away with the
election of County officers this
year and extends the time of the
present incumbents one year, as
under the law they hold over I'M
til their successors are elected

Rev. DR.. George Bailey was
Installed last evening as pastor
Of the Western Presbyterian
Church, II. street near 10Th
Northwest, under the direction of
the Presbytery of Washington.
Rev. Tennis S. Hamlin, pastor of
the church of the Covenant, pre-
sided and preached the install
lation sermon. His text was
Ephesians 5, IA; wake, thou that
slocpest, and arise from the dead,
and the Christ shall shine upon
thee The service was largely
attended and was followed by
reception to the pastor and his
wife in the parlours of the church.
The exercises began promptly at
1880 o'clock. After an organ
voluntary by Harry J. Kimball
and the singing of the doXology
by the congregation, Rev. DR..
Benjamin F Bittinger, the veter-
an stated clerk of the presbytery,
delivered the invocation. This
was followed by a a solo by Miss
Alice K. McMichael and a scrip
ture reading. Or. Hamlin then
preached his sermon, which was
on the subject of awakening"
and in line with the evangelistic
services that have been in pro-
gress in the Assembly Presbyter-
ian church for several weeks.
When Mrs, William T, Reed had
sung a solo, the charge to the new
pastor was given by Rev. DR..
Donald c. Mcleod, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church. The

There seems to be but little
doubt, Judging from Tuesdays
election, that Broken Bow can
rest assured that it will be many
a day before licensed saloons will
be tolerated in the city. The
vote was not over half out, owing
to their being no contest on cam
didates, but the vote on the lie
ense question was an increased
majority over any former election.
Of the 217 votes cast there were
only As for saloons, which gives
a majority of 172 against.

The city election Tuesday was
the most quiet ever held in the
city, There being but one ticket
in the field there was no personal
contest. Those favoring saloons
apparently realized there was
nothing to be gained by waging
an active warfare and as the anti
saloon element felt secure, there
was no special work done on
either side. Had the full vote
been secured it would not have
changed the result.

titled to credit for passing some
good bills, but as human nature
is 80 prone to circulate evil rather
than good reports, we hear much
more censure than communication,

Will Try a New Alfalfa.

A dispatch from Omaha, Neb., says:
The Union Pacific and Burlington rail-
roads, assisted by the United States
Government, have a new scheme for re-
claiming several hundred million acres
of arid Western lands without the aid
and assistance of expensive irrigation
work.
The new scheme is based on grasses
and a new alfalfa which grows in
Southern Russia and which requires so
little moisture as to exist wherever
sagebrush and prairie dogs can live.
Experimental stations will be built
along the railroads Immediately and
from these the surrounding country
will be seeded with the new alfalfa.
If the scheme is successful hundreds OF
millions of acres will be added to the
tillable lands west of the Missouri.
Work will begin in the Spring.

Uranium Discovered at Moab.

An important discovery in the
mineral line has been made by f. b.
Hammond of Moab, at a point 10 miles
south of Thompson's Springs. On eight
claims which Mr.. Hammond owns there,
uranium, that precious mineral in
which radium, the most precious of all
metals is found, has been discovered in
good quantity. The blanket vein I'M
covered is from one to four feet in
depth. Prof. Tibbets of Salt Lake has
inspected the discovery and believes it
a most valuable one, although it is
stated that there is no place nearer than
New York where it can be handled.
Even with this long haul the ore, it is
believed, will find a ready market at 81
per pound.-Tribune.

Little Words.

Just a little word that bore
Comfort to a heart grown sore,
Filled a day with better cheer
That had else been dull and drear.
Softly spoken. gladly heard,
Was that gentle little word.
Just a little word of scoPn
Sharper than the roses thorih
Spelling gladness with its smart,
Ranking long within the heart.
Lightly spoken, sadly heard,
Was that bitter little word.
Oh, the power of little words!
Swifter they than winged birds.
Messengers of joy or pain,
Heavenly kindness, anger's bane,
Borne on one fleet breath. they may
Hurt or help for many a day.
Let US make them brave and true,
Speaking none that we must rue,
For in some eternal year
We our words again may hear,
Echoing back to you and me
Fruitage of their ministry.

A True Singer.

No matter what the Weather,
The singers voice rang true,
Or clouds were all about him,
Or loses hid the rue.
He sang of human passion,
OF simple little things
The daisy in the woodland,
The forest murmurings.
He loved the blooming clover,
The lowing of the kline;
A peaceful country homestead
To him seemed half divine;
The cradle song of mothers
Above a baby wee;
The wooing of the song birds
Nest building in the tree.
Somehow the things were simple.
And so were all his songs.
He seemed to see life's beauties,
Nor croaked about it's wrongs,
But some way people read him
And loved him from their heart.
He knew their love while living.
His was the truest art.

LUTHER BURBANK.
Carnegie Institute Provides for the
Horticultural Wizard.

Horticultural Wizard.
The news comes from Washington
that the trustees Of the Carnegie lnsti-
tute have decided to settle upon
Luther Burbank, the plant wizard,
a te-. veal endowment. sufficient to
equip him thoroughly for continued
experiments along the lines of plant
liberalization. For so years Luther
Burbank has been evolving new plants,
new fruits, new flowers at his farm IN
Sonoma County. California. One OF
his latest achievements in the evolution
of plant life is the 'spineless cactus;
even more wonderful is his bringing to
perfection an everlasting" real flower.
The spineless cactus will be very
valuable forage plant in the desert re-
gions. This is a great Improvement
over the ordinary cactus, and is said to
be about as half as nutritious as alfalfa.
The yield in tons per acre is greater
The everlasting flower has evolved
after crossing, recrossing n selection
from a half hardy annual which was
discovered in West Central Australia
another instance where a floral gem
has been p~ropagated from the weed
flower of the bush and plain Of Ans
tralia. He has named it the Austria
Ian Star" flower.
Alfalfa Is Best for Forage.
The California Promotion COMMITTEES,
as a result of an interview with Luther
Burbank has issued a communication
dealing with some of Mr.. Burbank's
latest Investigations.
Mr.. Burbank said that he egreed
with the statement of the United States
Department of Agriculture that alfalfa
was the best all-round forage plant.
81 think" said Mr.. Burbank, that
alfalfa is probably the most important
plant ever raised in the West"
Mr.. Burbank called attention to the
improved varieties Of alfalfa which are
being introduced. Some of the best
came from Southern Europe. One clover
which may become of great Importance
in this section, is the Uganda clover
from Africa. Another forage that Is
extremely valuable is Australian rye
grass. This grass is unusually nutri-
tious, and most all seedsmen sell it.
Perennial rye grass will grow even
when hens tread it down, and there are
many localities to which it is espe-
cially suited.
