DEBRU,FALtzING CHECKERS,

The man who has introduced into the
New York Legislature a bill to debru-
taiize the game OF checkers has our
heartfelt sympathy and support. He
says with the greatest truth that where
football kills and Injuries possibly a
score of victims year, those who suffer
from checkers must be numbered by
the thousands, and the ravages of the
game are not confined to brief season,
but extend with more or less virulence
throughout the year. 1t is most viru-
lent in the Winter time, when other
games and occupations are at a stand
still. He does. not confine himself to
glittering generalities, but demands the
following specific reforms, each of
which must commend itself strongly to
all humanitarians and lovers of their
kind:
1. Abolish the king row.
2. Limit the jumps to one in any CIV
Ell direction.
3. Restrict the bets to one glass of
hard cider on each game.
4. Adopt a minimum age limit of IS
years for players.
5. Prohibit discussions of the game
outside Of the cobbler's shop or grocery
store.
s. Compel each player to produce a
written permit from his wife.
Z. Restrict the playing to one evening
week, and stop the game when curfeW
rings,

VIRGINIA THANKS.

The Genenal Assembly of Virginia
has adopted a joint resolution, recitine
that Whereas the United States have
recently, In, a. spirit of fraternity and
good Will, restored to the State of vir-
ginia many OF the flags under which
the sons of the old Commonwealth per-
formed heroic. and patriotic services
during the years of 1876, Therefore
the Keeper Of the Rolls OF Virginia is
directed to convey the thanks of the
State to the President of the United
States and tos Representative Lamb, of
Virginia. WHO introduced the bill"
The Language OF this. preamble and
resolution Is worthy Of study - Tn the
first place. It is ''the United States
have" which shows that the Legisla-
ture of Virginia still considers this Ma
ton a confederacy. "In a spirit of
fraternity and good will" That is, the
United States is treating with the SOW
ereign State of Virginia on an equality.
"The sons of the old Commonwealth
performed heroic and patriotic SER
vices" Their services were undoubted-
~ heroic, but as to the patriotism of
them there is a marked difference of

The hopes Of the Texas Republicans
are rapidly rising, and Col. Cecil Lyon,
OF Sherman, Chairman of the State Re-
publican Committee, announced that
the Party will put full ticket in the
field and make a hard fight to send
two or three Republicans to Congress.
The most hopes are entertained in the
18th District, now represented by John
Nance Garner. Of Uvalde, who was
elected to the 59th Congress by a vote
Of 10,647 to 5,767 for J. S. NORM, Re-
publican. The 18th District comprises
~ Counties, with a population in 1900
OF 16O.694. There has been a great
immigration from the central States
into this District, and the immigration
Is largely Republican. Eugene Nolte,
of Seguin, a banker, has been appoint
ed United States Marshal as the first
step toward putting him in the race
against Mr.. Garner. He was a candi-
date for State Treasurer on the Re-
publican ticket and received several
thousand more votes than any other
man and two years ago, under his
leadership, his County elected a
straight Republican ticket. Hopes are
also entertained of electing a Repub-
Hcan successor to Representative Stay
den, OF the San Antonio District, and
Representative Smith, of the Ell Paso
District

Wheat was the great source of wealth
IN California for years after the bottom
fell out Of gold mining, but wheat in
turn slumped below the base line of
profit and other Industries have taken
its place. Every year more of the great
wheat farms are being broken I'D and
devoted to other productions. The
orange and lemon industry grows rap
idly in the South, and it has been found
that oranges do quite as we'll in the not
interior valleys, even as far north as
the latitude Of Philadelphia, as they do
In southern California. Fresno ships
more raisins than any other place i'm
the world. Petaluma is a great "hen
town. and ships eggs and poultry to a
surprising extent. The Santa Clara VAL
ley has now become a great orchard.
The beet-sugar industry is rapidly
growing, and Napa and Sonoma Valleys
are becoming the greatest wine-produc-
ing regions on earth. The main want
in California is for COAL there being
only one bed, and that very poor, in the
State. Coal has to be brought from
Washington, but this gives an impetus
to the development of the water power
of the countless mountain torrents in
the State, and many unusual things
have been done in the transmission of
electrical power long distances.

II Mr.. Bryan Is playing game, he
is playing 1t with surprising shrewd-
ness. He went to the rear in 1904 with
smiling face, as If happy In obeying
the Party's decision in favor OF Alton
B. Parker. He may have even then
fully appreciated Roosevelt's astonish-
Ing popularity, and realized that any
body who went up against him was
foredoomed to overwhelming defeat.
Therefore Mr.. Bryan was quite content
that some other man be the Republican
chopping block. Now his friends are
calling attention to the greater number
of votes that he polled each time than
Parker received, and the more this is
pointed out the better Bryan stands.
With the same shrewdness. he is keep
ing very quiet as to his intentions for
1908. The man who rushes into the
Presidential field this year makes his
best bid for an early and killing frost.
which will carry him Off beyond resur-
rection. Mr.. Bryan is taking no such
chances. A year from now will be quite
time enough to say what he intends to
do, and by that time the campaign will
be. shaped up sufficiently to indicate
whether it will be worth while to run.
II then the campaign will look as
bright for the Republicans as it did in
the Spring of 1903. Mr.. Bryan may
gracefully wave off the Democratic
NOMINATION to some good brother who
wants to run for the fun of the thing
Bryan is still younp enough tn Iook
forward hopefully to 1912.

Lo, the Door Indian, Is having very
tough time insholding on to the money
received for TIE lands that he has sold
to the Unified, States. According to the
report OF the Commissioner Of Indian
Affairs there are gangs of white sharks
around the Agencies who are working
all manner Of, schemes to get the money
away irons the natives and make them
poor. indeed.i The Indian seems abso-
lutely incapable Of taking care Of his
money. AS a rule. not one Of them
has centA30 sdays after amounts have
been PAID them, reaching sometimes
into the Thousands Of dollars. Whisky.
gambling and worthless goods at high
prices soon rob him Of all his green
backs. The Government Is taking every
possible precautiOn to save the money
for the Indians, but this is attended
with the greatest difficulties. The Com
missioner writes of one Indian named
Wa-nab- bo-zho He is IS years cd
and Is dying of cancer, but has over
$4,000 to his credit. The Agent is
paying him $40 a month and adds to
this additional amounts when he is
autually in need of it, but every effort
is being made to get the entire sum
into the Indians hands, so that he can
be robbed of it, There are many SINH
lar cases at every Agency. Another case
is reported of chief named Pretty
bull, who was paid 1920. 1t made an
armful of currency, but as he left the
office a mixed-blood stepped up and
claimed that he owed him $500 for
horses and had promised him $500 on
account. The mixed-blood was thrown
out of the room and Prettybull depos-
tied $4,000 in bank and took $500 in
currency. At 9 o'clock the next morn
ing he did not have a dollar, and his
creditors were coming down to see the
Agent. claiming that others had
"hogged" the game and got away with
the money before they had a chance.
Not only was all his money gone. but
he had a host of unpaid debts. Horses,
carriages, harness and saddles are
favored means of getting away with
the money. Any sort of gaudy-look-
ing team or buggy captures an Indian
on sight. One Indian horse-trader
named Thomas Harvey is said to make
$4,000 year by this means. At the
YanktOn Agency span of horses which
one white man sold to another white
man for $55 was sold to an Indian for
1910. At the Kickapoo Agency an In
dian woman, who had an unquestioned
and undisputed title to lands, was
charged by a lawyer $1,O52.S5 fees. In
this the Government interfered Sue
CcSsfully.

The people of the Missouri Valley q

The people of the Missouri Valley are
beginning to think about measures for
reviving the steamboat trade OH their
great river. At one time there were
1876 steamboats, of good size running
regularly between st. Louis and st. Jo-
seph, and during a portion of the year
steamboats, went clear up to the yell
lowstone. These carried supplies to the
troops and conducted the trading op-
erations Of the American Fur Co. with
the Indians. Now there is not a boat
running regularly on the river. 1t is
believed that by comparatively little
effort vast commerce can be made
to float cheapIy to market by that old
time highway.

A TIMELY LESSON.

The death OF Gen. Edward w. Ser
rell. the eminent engineer. as charity
patient in a New York hospital. fur
speedy passage Of a general Service
Pension bill. No man in the country
ever had finer opportunities for acquir-
ing wealth than Gen. Serrell. For q
long period of years he was one of the
very foremost of the civil engineers OF
full conclusion such magnificent works
as the Hoosac Tunnel and the Niagara
Bridge. He had the handling of mil
lions of capital, and precise scientific
knowledge. that had a high market
value. More than once he was believed
to be. very wealthy. indeed. But re-
verses came. With age came failure
of powers and loss of property, and
charity only saved him from absolute
want. In his day he had served his
country magnificently as a Colonel OF
a regiment of Engineers and the Chief
Engineer of the Department of the
South. where he executed a triumph OF
Military engineering III pldHtInS NHe
Swamp Angel, which bombarded
Charleston, S. c. He took part in "a
battles and engagements. and always
with the greatest credit to himself and
those he commanded.
This illustrates the vicissitudes OF
life, to which all are subject. If old
age and illness bring such restitution to
a man of Gen. Serrell's brilliant abili-
ties and worldwide reputation, what
must be their possibilities to men who
served their country just as faithfully
and we'll within their spheres, but were
not so highly endowed as Gen. Serreil ?
The Government owes it to the men
who saved it's existence that no one who
served in Army and Navy during the
great struggle shall not live and die q
pauper in his latter years.

THE MISSOURI REPUBLICANS.

Though the Missouri Republicans
have the same propensity to intestinal
fighting which has been the bane of
ern States, yet this will not be allowed
to interfere, as it has elsewhere in
Dixie. with the building up Of the party
and it's control of the State. At the
last Convention of the Republican
League Clubs at st. Louis q disciplinary
resolution was introduced condemning
r. G. Kerens. the old-time boss. for
instigating and promoting the bolt by
which Niedringhaus was defeated for
the Senate. This brought about a fight,
which the police had to suppress, but
after order was restored the resolution
was passed, and it will have most
beneficial effect in the future. The
Republicans have good State Com
mittee, and it is thoroughly and sys-
tematically organizing the State, pay
ing the closest attention to the details
In every County. Republicans are be-
ing organized, encouraged and filled
with the hope of q continuance Of Re-
publican ascendancy in Missouri which
will lead to the rapid progress of the
State. Much good has been done since
the Republicans have come into power,
and this is an earnest of what will be
done in the future. Missouri will not
be permitted to lag behind the process
sion as she has been under the long
era of Democratic. rule, but will be
brought fully to the front, and her
immense advantages and resources
given full pay

The Senate has dismissed as incon.
sequential the charges against Benz. r
Daniels that he stole q mule I'm Wyo.
ming, for which he served two years
in the penitentiary. and that he killed
two men. for which he was not pun.
ished. Ben stole the mule from the
Government. and though a jury OF his
countrymen took a harsh view of the
transaction, probably the Senate had
some later evidence that the mule was
a danger to the soldiers, and their lives
were saved By its being stolen. AS to
the men killed. he may have rid the
community Of men who should have
been killed. and therefore he was con-
hrmed as Marshal Of Arizona in the ex-
peotation that he would continue his
work for the benefit Of society.

Secretary Shaw can rest assured that
his Presidential boom is not growing i'm
New England. They have many causes
there for dissatisfaction with him. and
these are in the culminative mood just
now because OF well-defined report
that he has ordered, or is about to Or
der, the dismissal of all employees of
Custom Houses and other Government
offices who are over IS. There are about
700 employees in the Boston Custom
House, Of whom IS are 65 and over.
About One-half of these are Union vet
Grams, and some of them have gained
such marked efficiency in their long
years Of service that it seems difficult
to replace them. Age is held in far
more reverence In New England, where
longevity prevails, than in some other
parts of the country, and the people
there have vivid memories of what ii
meant to be a Union soldier. The Bos-
ton Globe denounces 1t as actually
cowardly for the Federal Government
to join in this hue-and-cry against old
men.
