Of the 173 liquor license in Yava- pal county 69 went out of business April 1st, being unable to pay the $500 annual license. The revenue from liqour license for the year of 1906 amounted to $19.318. while gambling license were collected in the amount of $l5, 500 making a total of $34, ,378. The license col. lected by the sheriff's office since the first of the present month for retail liquor dealers amounts to $31, ,0O to which about s2.000 will be added later in the year for whole sale liquor and other license. which shows that the collection from the $500 liquor license, under the new law. will bring the revenues with in $2,17S of the last year. This last amount may be made up later on by licenses from new liquor es- tablishments starting.

Philip Clark. a we'll known en- gineer, was arrested in Nogales. Sonora, the other day on tele- graphic instruction from the Dis trict Judge at Hermosillo. Clarke is charged with rebellion. Some months ago a drunken Indian was run over and killed on the Sonora road. The engineer was arrested and jailed. The arrest caused much indignation and all the trainmen then on the road south of the line, refused to work unless the engin- eer was released. This was speedily done. Clarke is now charged with rebellion" for the part he took in effecting the other engineers re- lease. In the end the Mexican au- thorities will be obliged to release him. but his arrest has caused con siderable annoyance and friction be- tween the authorities.

Wisconsin Material Just AS Good.

There are. some who still fail to
understand why the capitol com
mission should go to other states in
search of material to be used in the
construction of the new state capitol
when there is abundance of material
to be found right here in WiscOn-
sin. 1t is a we'll known fact that
valuable and extensive deposits Of
granite are to be found in this state,
which are probably equal to any
similar material for building pur-
poses to be found in any other part
of the country. At the time bids
were called for it was explained
that contractors were unable or I'M
willing to meet requirements with
respect to furnishing this Wisconsin
granite in the quantities and at the
rate desired. Nevertheless it is
reasonable to suppose these re-.
quirements could bemet to a reason
able extent if the capitol commits
sion would give little leewaY for
the installation Of machinery, ETC.. !,
necessary for the proper handling of
the Wisconsin product in large
quantities.
The only handicap OF WISCONSIN
quarries seems to be that hereto
fore there has never been q call for
Wisconsin granite in such large
quantities as will be required for
the construction of the rev state
capitol. This is merely matter Of
detail, however, and as the material
itself exists in sufficient quantities
there can be no question it could be
quarried and furnished in any
quantity and at any rate desired,
providing the Wisconsin contractors
could be gwen a little time to in
crease their plants and capacity of
output. To have the new state
capitol composed of home material
would be a source of additional
pride to the people Of the state, to
say nothing of the benefits it would
give to home industries. The ques-
ton of building the new state
capitol of home material should not
be dropped, and if any way can be
found to carry out this plan it
should be adopted. Even if 1t costs
little more in the end it would be
a good policy to keep the money at
home.

A BAD ACTOR.
Wilbur Short Under Arrest for As
Saulting His Own Mother.

Wilbur Short, aged about 25
years, an only son of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Short, residing in Little Grant,
was arrested by Deputy Sheriff
Elwell yesterday morning on the
charge of assaulting his aged mother
with deadly weapon and making
other threats against her.
The crime alleged took place Sun
day and Monday the mother came
to Lancaster and made complaint
against the unruly son before Justice
Moses. He took charge of venue
yesterday when his case was called,
going to Justice Shimmin, who fixed
his bonds for appearance tomorrow
for preliminary hearing at 5000.
He failed to secure it and is in coun-
ty Jail.
Short is long when it comes to
deviltry and abuses of his aged
parents. His father was shame
fully treated by the boy about two
years ago and the authorities at
that time placed the young brute
under bonds to keep the peace.
Parental affection for an only son
goes a long ways at times however
and his malicious conduct has
been overlooked more in fear than
anything else by the aged parents.
If all is true that is said by the
neighbors IN regard to the defend
ant, he should be looked after and
deserved punishment melted out to
him.
His case will be looked after by
Lowry d Carthew, while Atty.
BrunckhOrst, partner of Dist, Kopp,
will appear in behalf of the state.

RAISE DRAFT HORSES.
Farmers in This Section Should Not
Breed to Scrubs.

This is the time of year when the
owners of good horses are realizing
their value. Many mature teams
have been sold in this section for
from $400 to $3.50, and those who
are contemplating the raising of
horses should remember just what
class of horses are bringing these
prices. 1t is not the little fellows,
but those with good bone and
muscle, weighing from 1,450 to
1850 pounds each. Those having
good mares should be very particular
to mate them to none but the very
best sires if they wish to keep up
the standard of horses in this com
munity. Do not, under any circum-
stances, try to keep increasing the
number of scrubs, but help to raise
the standard by breeding to only
the very best sires. A big horse
will always bring good money in
the market if he is sound, and in
case he should have some trif1ing
blemish he is still a valuable draft
horse.

Ginger Snaps of Childhood Days.

You never forget those ginger
snaps Aunt En- used to make.
When us boys were out late at night
after all the folks had retired at
$3.50 p. m. we always sneaked into
the pantry before going to bed and
nipped out a handful of Aunt Ems
ginger snaps and glass of milk
and sat around and read and ate and
ate and read as long as the food
lasted or as long as we dared to sit
up. Things to eat were made much
better then. Aunt Ems rule called
for one pint of honey, one teaspoon
full of ginger and one teaspOOnful
of soda dissolved in a little water
and two eggs. Mix all, then work
in all the flour possible, roll very
thin and bake in a mOdera tely hot
aven. Made like this, the only COM
plant of the women folk was that
their cookies didn't last. In the
presence of the boys those snaps
disappeared like autumn leaves be-
fore violent gale.

TOO SUCCESSFUL.
Insurance Company Goes to Wall for
Advocating Good Cause.

The American Birth Insurance So
ciety of Massachusetts, has gone into
the hands of receiver, and all be-
cause it was too successful in pro-
noting the very object for which 1t
was organized. The society was
launched about two years ago and
was intended to pay from 800 to
5000 for the birth Of each baby in
the family of policy holder, the
idea being that many families
avoided the birth of children on &C.
count Of the expense connected
Herewith. 1t was believed that by
overcoming this objection it would
be possible to increase the birth
rate, and thereby offset to a certain
degree the dangers of so-called race
suicide. The plan met with popular
favor immediately, and the new in
surance company was enabled to
issue large number of policies.
Apparently, however, it miscalcul-
ated it's premium rates, based on
previous birth statistics no doubt,
and in spite of the rapid increase of
its business it was soon discovered
the company could not keep up its
payments. In other words the
policy holders went into the baby
business with such zest that the
available funds of the association
were soon dissipated, and the only
thing left to do was to apply to the
court for a receiver to wind up the
business.
That such worthy plan should
thus and in failure will cause con-
siderable regret IN many quarters.
The so-called race suicide problem
has received a good deal of atten.
ton of late, and even the president
has deemed it worthy of personal
discussion and certain wise sugges-
tons. All the advice in the world,
however, would probably have less
effect in solving the problem than
some such plan as was offered by
bulS Observation-Disclosures lnSuTduC6 SOcl0bY,
which, by its own failure in bust
ness, has given tangible evidence
that given birth rate can be in
creased by merely making it an
object for families to have more
babies. OF course it is a question
how far such encouragement should
extend, but that the plan of offering
a small bonus for more children will
help to swell the population seems
to be proven quite cOnclusively.
Aud perhaps the time will come
when some generous man of large
wealth will utilize his money in this
direction, instead of using it to en-
dow universities or found free
libraries. There is wonderful OPP
portunity, IN fact, for some Car
negie or Rockefeller to earn lasting
fame by adopting such plan.

The Prescription of the Religious
Orders.

To show the greet power and the
OvershadOwing Influence of the
University of Paris it is enough to
say no young Frenchman could
enter for what we may call a civil
service examination, that is OPP
portunity to enter for any of the
multiplied public employments,
who had not been educated in one
of the public schools, or at school
licensed by the University of Paris,
conducted by graduates Of the Uni
versity and submitting it's system
and school books to the revision Of
that body.
The youth of France we're thus,
it is evident, in condition of intel
lectual bondage and servit' 3 to a
system of 1nfidel teaching; and what
the result Of such influences was
declared by an authority to be was
this: The children who leave
Christian homes TO enter the Uni
versity come out of it 1nfidels." The
natural consequence of the spirit
thus paramount in school and col
lege has been to make of France a
shamefully depraved nation. AS
well-known English writer declares,
1.-The teaching of her lnfdel univer~
sity and schools has effected to fill
French light literature with abom-
nations and her graver works with
blasphemy." To remove and ex-
clude from the schools of France all
religious tee ching and from the
youth OF the country all religious
influence has been the studied aim
of the infidel leaders of the so-called
republic. By this means and through
this persistent method, religion was
to be undermined aud finally the
church uprooted In France.

William Leighton, the tall syca-
more of the Little Grant, possesses
natural born qualities of leadership.
His services as chairman OF the
town of Little GrantIhave convinced
his constituents hat he is the man
they want /. the public servant most
capable of administering their at
fairs in an economical and effec-
tive manner. At the caucus held a
week before election the most de-
termined opposition could find but
ten voters of the eighty-two who
were willing to vote for another
candidate. The gift of leadership
is subdued neither by degree OF
crudeness nor refinement, obscure
environment nor hmitless Opport-
unity. The endowment is in the
makeup of the individual, and the
manifestation will surely appear at
the psychological moment. Today
there is keen quest for clear
headed, common-sense, initiative
leadership. The born leader and
will be forced 10 the
front through sheer persistent de-
if for no other reason.
