WASHINGTON. May 21.-The
Secretary of the Interior today an.
proved the recommendation of Com.
missioner Ballinger, of the General
Land OFFICE for the improvement OF
the efficiency OF his office by the
dismissal of old and inefficient clerks

that Ut had been practice for sew
eral years to lodge in the patent di-
vision clerks who, through infirmi.
ties. were Inefficient; that the divi.

In arrears, and that 1t would be nc.

THE BROKEN DRUM.
There Is sorrow in the household,
There's II GRIEF too hard to hear;
There's little check that's tear


There Is sorrow in the household
There's grief too hard to hear;
There's little cheek that's tear
stained.
There's a sobplng baby there.
Any try how we will to comfort,
Still tho tiny tear drops come,
For, to solve vexing problem,
Curly Locks has wrecked his drum,
1t has puzzled him and worried,
How the drum created sound;
For he couldn't understand It;
II was not enough to pound
With his tiny hands and drum sticks,
And ut last the day has come,
When another hope is shattered,
Now In ruins lies his drum.
With his metal bank he broke 1t,
Tore the frightened skin aside;
Gazcd on vacant space and nothing,
Then he broke right down and
cried.
And the baby tears must come;
For n Joy has gone forever
Curly Locks has wrecked his drum
While his mother tries to soothc him,
am sitting here alone:
In the lifn that lies behind me,
Many shocks like that I've KNOWN
And the boy who's upstairs weeping
IN the years that are to como
VIII learn that many pleasures
Are as empty ms his drum.

The discussion in the legisla-
ture of The matter Of legislators
travelling on railroad passes
doesn't seem TO produce sooth-
ing, pacific effect on some mem
bers. When the subject was up
a day or two ago one Senator is
quoted by the daily papers as
saying that he didn't give a
durn' for what a brother Senator
thought as to a member being
Influenced in his vote by the ac.
ceptance OF q pass. The same
day, during debate in the
house on resolution providing
for the appointment of a JOINT
committee TO ascertain what
members Of the General Assem-
bly, are in railroad employment,
or get free transportation, a Rep
resentative is said to have de-
clared that he didn't give con
tinental damn, so far as he was
concerned, but he had contempt
for the little nincompoops who
think men with more brains
than they have can be bought. -
1t is evident that South Caro-
lina's solons are becoming as
unparliamentary in speech as
Ben Tillman and Congress.

A strong effort is being made

A strong effort is being made
in the Legislature to limit a
widows right of dover to the
lands of which her husband NAV
die seized and possessed. The
proposed amendment to the pres
ent law is not without merit.
The dover law is by no means
reciprocal. The husband has no
such interest in his wife's lands.
And it does appear as fair and
reasonable proposition that he
should be enti led to the right
and privilege of selling his own
real estate or any part thereof
without the title thereto being
clouded indefinitely by a contin.
gent claim of dover. There are
no doubt many thousands of acres
of land in this state today which
are and have been for many
years encumbered by contingent
dover claims. We happen to
know of lands in this county so
encumbered-lands that were
sold and full value paid for over
thirty five years ago.
The Lancaster news. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1905-current, 1907-02-06

That strikes us as reasonable
request the magistrates consta-
bles make of the legislature.
Peace officers should certainly
be given authority to apprehend
without warrant parties who
commit crime in their presence.
The ends of justice are no doubt
often defeated by officers having
to wait for warrant before
making an arrest.
