where the Torrens system works

The Torens system of land regisua-
ton, which was recently enacted in
to law by the Washington legislature,
has been offered to the New York
state Legislature for adoption, and the
New York Times presents an elaborate
article upon the subject, nom which
some facts Of interest 10 this state may
be taken. For example, in Massachu-
sets it appears that the system was first
referred TO in 4 special message by the
late Gov. Russell in 1891, and after
thoro discussion. the ToTens system
went into effect in 1898. Up to the
first of January OF this year more than
SIS. 900. 900 worth Of real property has
come under the registration, and it is

systems Of real estate transfer that has

WHAT SHALL TAR PRESIDENT
nnl

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer
is one OF hfty-hve of the lead
ing newspapers Of the United
States which will take a primary
expression on the interesting
question, What shall Presi-
dent Roosevelt do after his pres
ent term Of office expires?"
Since Abraham Lincoln occu-
pied the highest Office in the gift
OF the American people no presi-
dent has been held in higher es-
TEEN by what Lincoln called the
plain people, than Theodore
Roosevelt, Being still in the
prime and vigor OF robust man
hood it is expected that he will
take an active interest in the
welfare OF the American people.
The object OF the primary,which
originated with the Philadelphia
North American, is to get an
expression from the masses as to
what the majority wish that in
interest to be.
The editor OF this paper has
been asked to express his views
in one hundred words,
Believing that none Of the
cherished traditions of this gov
eminent would be violated in
electing him a second time.
The Echo favors Theodore
Roosevelt for president as
against any man living. He
has demonstrated his fitness for
this high position and is held in
such high esteem by the plain
people OF all parties that he can
not and will not refuse the nomi-
nation a second time. While in
no sense admitting the oontin-
gency, we believe his next great
est sphere of usefulness would
be as chairman OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

WILL PREACH TOTAL
ABSTINENCE SERMON
Father Healy Will Set Forth Catholic
Church's Official Attitude On
Temperance.

The mission in progress at st. PaufS
church, which is being conducted by
Paulist fathers, is attended by congre-
cations that tax the capacity of the
pews. The Rev. Father Coyle, pastor of
the church, has arranged to have chairs
placed in the middle aisle. The Rev.
Father Healy will preach total absti-
hence sermon tonight, in which he will
set forth the official attitude of the Cath
Ollie church on the temperance question.
The Paulists are not only total abstain
ers themselves but they urge all Catholics
to take the total abstinence pledge.
The mass yesterday morning a $50
O clock was almost as we'll attended as
the night services. A large crowd was
also present at the o'clock mass. The
missioners heard confessions yesterday
afternoon and Father Healy said he was
greatly gratified at the large number
that responded to the call. Confessions
will be heard again this afternoon.
At last nights service Father Healy
gave a short lecture on the doctrine of
papal infallibility, and Father O'Hern de-
livered an impressive discourse on the
day of judgment. The latter's text was,
"What shall l do when God shall arise
TO Judge, and when He shall examine
what shall / answer Him?"-Job 3l:14.
The preacher called over the ten COM
lnandments and with startling earnest
ness asked If this and this commandment
had been broken and what would be the
sinners answer to his Maker.

Conner CANNOT FIND
MEN TO TAKE JOB
HAS OFFERED THE PLACES ON
THE POLICE COMMISSION TO
SEVERAL PROMINENT MEN WHO
HAVE DECLINED THE HONOR.

AS reported in The Age-Herald yester
day morning it seems to be difficult for
Governor Conner to find men suitable TO
him who will accept membership on the
new police commission.
1t was announced yesterday that Gov
ernor Conner had endeavored to appoint
the two commissioners to serve with
Mayor Ward, but that several men to
whom he had offered the position had de-
clined to accept.
One of the men to whom Governor
Conner is said to have offered a seat on
the new commission stated yesterday
that the acceptance of the position car
ried with it certain stringent moral obli-
cations. Tho man who accepts will have
to make a race for endorsement in the
May election which for seriousness
would probably equal the recent primary
race for the mayoralty nomination. He
pointed out too, that the position car
ried with it nothing but an honorary
bonus, and that it entailed on the incum-
bent the responsibility of the police de-
partment of a great city.
He gave the above as the reasons why
it was difficult for Governor Conner to
find suitable men to accept positions on
the commission.
Judging from the announcement from
Montgomery yesterday it will be several
days before the appointments to the COM
mission are made. In the meantime it is
reported that Commissioners-ele Parker,
Copeland and McGavock are printing
their guns for q deadly conflict in the
May election.

side DUMP tram cars for the brown ore
mines at Russellville. As no new securi-
ties are issued to meet the payments Tor
such improvements, they must be palu
out of earnings or working capital. The
latter is still more than ample for all the
requirements of the company. and more
than double the amount provided and
thought to be much more than sufficient,
at the time the company was organized.

The heavy construction work at Bessie
mine has been practically completed. and

Difference Of Opinion.

At this juncture Committeeman Nelson
withdrew his original resolution, leaving
nefore the committee absolutely nothing.
eomeone made a motion TO adjourn Then
II was that Chairman Mullin made his
declaration that in his opinion any mem
her of the committee who did not try to
solve this problem owed 1t to his constitu-
ents tn resign Committeeman Johnston
Thought that the committee should re-
sign until it was more and better ac-
ouainted with the election law and the
act creating the new commission.
At this point Committeeman Miller made
the speech above referred to, in which
II was declared that the committee had
no right to try to solve the question, that
this burden properly fell on the shoulders
of the City Council. Committeeman Per-
due thereupon, having gained the priv
ileee of the floor, declared that he had Of
fered the amendment to the Nelson res
olution for the simple reason that the
s1bseouent discussion. would probably
suggest some solution, intimating that he
was aware of the fact that what Judge
Miller had just said was eminently cor
rect.
The committee then adjourned sine die

MAYOR AGAIN BUSY PROBING
INTO VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS

Since Mayor Ward has returned from
Montgomery and put the routine work of
the office into running order. he Is be-
ginning to probe into the various depart
ments with his usual alertness.
The first correction of the police force
which he has made since the repeal of the
commission law was yesterday when lie
wrote n letter rebukng the officers for the
use of pencil instead OF ink in making out
appearance bonds. He even asked Chief
Wier to furnish him with list of those
officers who refused TO comply with that
regulation. The letter said:
Chief Wier:
Some months ago the attached form
providing that bonds be written and
signed in ink adopted. Instructions
concerning it have been disregarded in
many instances since.
you are hereby instructed to see in
the future that appearance bonds taken
and turned in by police officers are filed
out and signed in ink.
''You are also requested to furnish
me with the names of officers who accept
and attempt to turn in any bond which
does not comply with this regulation.
Very truly GEORGE WARD.
Mayor"
Carelessness in these and many other
matters will be watched closely by the
Mayor in future, and any violator will
find himself before the new commission
as soon as it is formed. Mayor Ward
has also corrected the police court for the
numerous postponements of gambling
cases and requested an enforcement of
the law quickly. The Mayor is beeom-
ing once more live spirit around police
headquarters.
