PUBLIC LAND CONVENTION.

The Trans Mississippi public lands
convention, which assembled in Denver
today, bringing together 1000 dele
gates, may be accurately described as
the trans Mississippi anti Roosevelt
convention. While the big States east
Of the father of Waters have been
worrying about the ~premonitory symp-
toms of political concern over 1908, the
great region west of the Missouri has
had little attention. That region is
now getting ready to shy its castor into
the ring to demand some attention and
to air its grievances against the adj
ministration of Theodore Roosevelt.
Down under cover a Titanic struggle is
going on for control of the big gather
ing, which will discuss the Roosevelt
policy of controlling the public domain,
a matter Of great interest to the West.
The national administration knows
what is going on and is fighting at
every point in the effort to secure con-
troll of the convention. 1t is realized
that if this convention, in its discus
sions and resolutions, by substantially
unanimous expression lines up against
the administration, the PRESIDENT
plans for control of the national con-
vention in 1908, involving the nomina-
ito OF Taft and the perpetuation of the
Roosevelt policies, will have received
a blow far more severe than any yet
delivered. Governor Buchtel, through
Acting Governor Harper, called the
convention in pursuance Of a resolution
adopted by the Colorado legislature
last winter. That resolution was
adopted by the same legislature that
elected Simon Guggenheim a United
States senator. Guggenheim is a mem
Der of the famous smelter trust, in lea
que with the powerful business inter-
ests of the intermountain country, is
interested in the movement. At the
bottom of the trouble is the policy of
active, persistent warfare on big in
terests that have been charged with
getting special advantages out Of pub
lie lands. At the same time, the policy
of hedging off forest reserves has
been widely regarded as extreme. The
forest reserve policy is not popular
with tn cattlemen of the West. BY
skillful handling at this convention of
the elements opposed to the admins
tration Obey, it is hoped to get the
West squarely on record as opposed to
the administration. Out of that will
develop, easily and naturally, a situa-

COLLEGE NOTES.

Anna Hall of the class of 1906 call
ed on Tuesday last and took dinner
at the dormitory.
The literary societies met early last
week so that they could attend the
lecture at the Opera House.
Jas. Flemming has completed the
commercial course and returns home
this week. The ladies at the dormitory
gave an oyster supper in his honor to
all of the boarders on Tuesday even
ing. The pleasure of the evening was
heightened by speeches, recitations
which made the evening hours pass
all too quickly. Mr.. Flemming re-
turns to his home in Deliot.
Several from the college attended
the teachers meeting in West Side
Oh Saturday. Miss Brackney was call
ed upon and gave couple of recita-
tions which were enthusiastically re-
ceived.
DR.. w. T. Wright gave the stud
ents profitable talk on the advant-
ages of medicine as life work. The
address was very helpful to any one
who is deciding what his life work
shall be.
Prof. Van Ness was on the program
at the teachers meeting at West
Side on Saturday.
Both the boys and the girls basket
ball teams played West Side on Sat-
urday evening last. This is the first
time that the girls have played a
match game and they made good
showing. Both games were lively and
the finest of spirit was manifested.
The score in the girls game was
20 to IA and the boys was a. to 81
both in favor of West Side. All
speak very highly of the courteous
treatment that they were given by
the West Side players. One of the
fine features of the game was the fine
department of the audience. There
was no leering, guying nor catcawing
Nice plays were cheered and the col
lege players were highly pleased with
the treatment that is, of course
they wanted the score. About 81
went down to the game.

as we know the offer will be good

yond that time. 1t is the best news

mile radius and with Denison for a
center, the Review will be found in
from IS per cent to so per cent of the
homes.
Last week the Review mentioned
by name. in its news columns. more
than SIX HUNDRED different people
living in the county. There were of
course many items of general import
ance in which large numbers were in
terested and in which no names were
mentioned.
What field such a paper opens to
the live advertiser. Here is a paper
going into two-thirds of the homes
of the county. a paper that people
want. paper without any plate or
patent pages. a paper that in single
issue mentions by name six hundred
different people. paper that in one
week prints over FIFTY FEET of
home set type. paper that people
are taking and paving for. 1t is not
a question of expense. it is ques
tion. rather whether the merchant
can afford to neglect such a means of
publicity. Of course. if you have
nothing to sell there is no need to
advertise. but if you have, what a
splendid means is at your hand. 1t
reaches just the people you want to
reach. 1t is not printed on hand bill
to be tossed aside unread, it is print
ed in the columns of a paper that
people want. 1t reaches into the
homes of hundreds of people. The
births. the deaths. the marriages. the
social gatherings. the comings and
the goings. the haps and mishaps of
more than six hundred of our people
in single issue. Next week we shall
have more to say along this line. We
shall dwell on the many ways in which

cheapest medium of reaching the peo-
pie of Crawford county. We will make
the proposition, open to any, that if

STILL INCREASING.

The addition of the list of the Ma
nilla Republican to that of the Re-
view marks another notable addition
to a list which has been growing
steadily for the past year. While it
is possible that not all of the Repub-
lican subscribers will remain on the
Review list, we are confident that the
bulk of them will. We have this con-
fidence because we believe the people
appreciate good newspaper when
they once get acquainted with it. In
the Review they will have not only
the local news of Manila but the
news of the entire county. Certainly
those who could afford to take the
Republican can afford to subscribe
tor the Review as it will give them
from three to four times the amount
of news. The magazine section will
also prove a favorite with Manila
people as it has with our other read.

Doubtless without intention the
Bulletin has nearly put the fat in the
fire by its assertion that the new
opera house would in all probability
be built on the lots north of the
present opera house. This is not the
intention. One of the primary objects
is the upbuilding and Identification
OF Denison. This cannot be done by
building located on an inside lot and
so far as we know there is no inten-
ton on the part of anyone to build
the new opera house on any other
location other than that now occupied
by the Germania Hall. We make the
statement boldly and advisedly. not
to crow over the Bulletin. but in or
der that there may be clear under
standing of the situation. If the sale
with the Germania Verein is complet-
ed. as will be determined on to-mor
row evening. the old building will
either be sold or moved to some other
location and the new building will &C.
cupy the present opera house site.
We have the assurance of the princi-
pal stock holders in making this state
ment and we would not make it did
we not believe it would be carried
out.
1t is our sincere hope that the Yer
elm meeting tomorrow night will be
characterized by the same spirit of
progress and loyalty to Denison as
that manifested at the last meeting
AS we have said before, we regard

BARS LYNCHING
FOR MURDER Of
BOY BY THUGS

NEW ORLEANS. La. June 25.-
Prompt and effective measures taken
by Governor Blanchard and the city
authorities have practically done away
with all likelihood of lynching in the
case of the kidnaper and murderer OF
little Walter Lamana.
The city at present is quiet, but there
appears to be a strong undercurrent of
feeling which requires the most careful
handling to prevent an outbreak 1t s
exnected that the prisoners viii be held
here for several days. 1t is feared If
thew were taken to HahnviIle, the parish
seat of St. Charles parish, q determined
effort would be made 70 lynch them in
the present state of the public temper.
A good excuse for the postponement
of the arraignment is found in the fact
that a number of the alleged principals
have as yet not been captured.
The better class of italians feel even
more strongly against the criminals
than other residents OF the city do.
They have organized for the suppress
sion OF this class of crime and afforded
very effective cooperation with authori-
ties.
