The Torrens land system which Is
being considered by the constitutional
convention and which Is being opposed
by tie abstracteTs is thus explained
* the Atoka Citizen:
Tie Torens land 81 ssn is system
of registration Of land titles not
deedsl as adopted in Australia and
Mex Zealand, then IN Germany,
France and England, and more re-
Gently III illinois, Massachusetts and
Ohio.
~ This method provides that the eoun-
~ recorder or registrar shall upon
application IN due form Of any person
claiming title to land have such title
brought down to date, verified BY two
experts. The registrar then issues
a certificate Of title to TIE applicant
disposing Of all previous clouds
upon the title filing permanently the
proofs Of title submitted in the gov
eminent vaults. After a five year
lirnitation no one is permitted to dis
pute this title On any grounds what
ever. except fraud ana not ID that ev-
ent II the title has passed 70 an IN
noeent purchaser for value. These Ger
tiacates Of title are easily handled as
bank stock fcr collateral in borrowing
norev An indemnity fund is pro-
vided u protest any person against N
jury IN this system. The great adyan
tage claimed for the Torren's land
system are as follows
A short but an absolute and indis.

SOME RAILROAD COMPARISONS.

Ridgway's claims that the
entire government owned rail-
road systems of Europe has been
conducted twelve consecutive
months without the loss of a
single passengers life. On the
government owned railroads Of
Switzerland only three people were
killed during 1906, and of these
three two were trespassers wilfully
violating the law, and the other
one was drunk. In the same
year 10000 people were killed on
the privately owned railroads OF
the United States. In 1906
American railroads killed more
people than we're killed on either
side in any one battle of the civil
war. There is food for thought
in the above simple statement of
facts.-Commoner.

THE railroad weep" over being
unable to issue transportation to
newspaper men in exchange for
contemporaneous advertising
space falls pretty fiat in the face OF
the fact they they are issuing passes
by the dozen on request of mem
bers of the Legislature. The pub
Usher pays all his transportation
costs and then some, however we
believe chat the new ruling is
right and only object to the fail
ure to enforce its provisions. 1t
is quite evident that the object OF
cutting off publishers is to create
dissatisfaction with the ruling of
the interstate commerce commits

cision makes necessary their &C

The general agitation for
few dozen normal schools on the
western slope is merely the old
established way for the eastern
.slopers to defeat the establish
ment of one. If the entire
west were to go together and Sc
cure the endowment of the Gun
nison Normal it would lead to
the securing of others without
doubt. But Senator Clayton and
x. Y. L. Q Snyder conspire with
enough members from east of the
range and start the ball rolling
for dozen western slope points
knowing that in the scramble all
will fall, and SO far the old thread
bare trick has worked very we'll.
Once it took the executive veto
of the despised Peabody to cheat
the west. but it was obtained and
this editors pet baby is still out
in the cold. There is only one
place for western slope normal
at present and that is Gunnison-
because it has been established
by law, fine site secured and
improved, because it is health
full and pleasant place against
which no word can be urged and
because locating another school
in the west without actually oper-
ating the one already established
would be an outrage. Get to-
-gether you suckers! Why do you
let Clayton and Snyder work you
like this2 A united west and you
will get not only normal school
but branch penitentiary and in
sane asylum. Stay in divided
camps and you will get soup and
and you willvery richly deserve it.

ONE of our exchanges, we be

seeks an opportunity to deliver
three dollar minute perfunctory
prayers. 1t prayer has any effica-
cy it arises from the fact that the
petitioner is moved by something
deeper than a desire to draw the
salary attachei to the act. We
have heard many of that sort of
prayers, which had they have been
answered instantly, the petitioner
would have been scared into
dwelling lunacy. Those prayers
are an insult to Deity and ought
to be abolished. The member of
the Legislature who cannot do his
own praying has not got sense
enough to discharge the duties of
the situation and ought to resign.

THE FOOL IN HIS FOLLY.

1t is entirely possible thdt
Admiral DAVIS was little pre-
mature in supposing that order
could not be kept in Jamaica with
out his help. But that does not
and cannot disguise the fact that
the governor of that island is
suffering from bad case OF
swelled head. At the worst,
Admiral Davis was in too much
of hurry to be ceremonious, and
his hurry was to do good. A city
in ruins, a drunken mob plumber
ing and killing right and left, dead
by hundreds being unburied-
most of US would think that in
such an emergency the presence
of few guards of blue jackets
and the offer of free medical and
surgical stores and attention would
at least be respectfully received.
But no. Gov. Swettenham saw no
need of American marines on
Jamaican soil. The American vice
consul was not at home, and that
being the case. it was wholly un-
important whether the consulate
was guarded or not. The dead
were dead and couldn't get any
deader; and as for burying them,
that was a mere detail, to be
attended at leisure.
1t would be hard, in all the long
history of international inter-
course, to find an instance of such
stupendous and uncalled-for boor-
ishness. Governor Swettenham
has broken the record for official
assininity; and that is no light
thing to do. What his motive
may have been, or whether he had
any motive other than sheer bump
tious bad temper, no one knows.
Certainly the American tars were
doing no harm, and might have
been sent away with decent re-
marks as we'll as with sneers.
Even if the Governor is one of
the Jingoes who sees things at
night and is on the lookout for
American invasions everywhere,
the surgeons from the yankee war
ships could hardly have been re-
garded with suspicion. They were
not likely to storm the citadel
with their scalpels, or threaten
the supremacy of the British flag
by their distribution of antiseptics.
Doubtless the Governor will
hear from home in language cal
culated to make his hair stand.
Doubtless also the British ambas-
sador will give our state depart
ment needless assurance that the
home government had nothing to
do with the affair. We know that
without being told, and we know
too, that the fool, like the poor,
we have always with us. But fools
have a certain interest when they
reach such proportions as this
governor of Jamaica, and tine least
the least the British government
can decently do is to send us his
photograph and anthropometrical
measurements for the Smithsonian
institution. They would be the
star exhibit in a collection
of freaks.-Denver News.

Archie White is under arrest at Red
Lodge on the charge Of having attempt
ed to hold up a saloon, in which eff
fort he was frustrated by an habitue
who managed to get behind him and
lock his arms while he was holding
a leveled Winchester at the head of
the bartender. White is alleged to
have stolen a horse, which he rode
to the saloon. Calmly entering he es-
sayed to rob the establishment in the
manner indicated, only to result in his
undoing.
