reasons which we know not but pre-
sumably for his distinguished per-

but why this sudden change? Why
this sudden array of wisdom from
the wise men of that puritanical
body, or 'governatoriaP body as II is
commonly called? l do not doubt
the integrity of each and every one
of the gentlemen named or the hon
esty of his purpose, yet 1t seems a
strange coincidence that these very
felt the weight of their conscience
pressing down upon their souls,
should have been the very gentlemen
whom the governor on yesterday
named for official positions in this
territory! Mr.. Sargent has been re-
appointed auditor. Duncan, coal oil
inspector and Stockton, L am told, is
to share in the emoluments of that
lucrative position; Chavez has been
appointed insurance commissioner;
Miera. member of the board of
equalizationi Murray, l understand,
has had a call to the office of the
territorial treasurer, and l presume
is to handle some of the territorial

Applause Was Prolonged.
The speech was received with pro-
longed applause both from the house
members and spectators. Mr., Holt
also made a speech equally as strong,
in which he stated that he desired to
let the people know the motives that
actuated the sending of that veto
message to the house.
Mr.. Hudspeth spoke In opposition
to the bill along democratic lines,
it on general principles, but
he did not have the temerity to de-

The Oklahoma election furnishes no surprises.

standing its admitted defects. Statehood was
long delayed owing 10 the complication in Con

since Congress WAS anxious 10 dispose Of the

wait for i've or six years while the question Of
uniting Arizona and New Mexico admitting
them separately was being thrashed out and

comings of others proved irksome The people
of the new state can hardly be blamed for ap-
proving the constitution submitted 10 them, and

THE WORK CURE.

While the rest cure may be an excellent form
of treatment for the ordinary business man who
makes industry vice by too great zeal, surely
the work cure is the only satisfactory remedy
for the ravages worked upon the unreslsting
body of the American hobo by the bacillus Of
lazness and irresponsibility That the work
cure has not been more generally administered
is something of mystery, for It's virtues are ap-
parent TO anybody who has learned that va
grants choose their profession not because they
love wandering more but labor less The most
plausible explanation OF the failure of American
towns and states to have attacked the tramp
problem properly is probably found in the cit
izens ignorance of the large number of these
human pests and the vast expense and trouble
they cause the respectable part of society. The
Hobo has long enjoyed immunity from we'll
deserved attacks and systematic determination
for the same reason that the mosquito has; he
has seemed too petty and too harmless a null
sance to bother much about. Some people have
known that there are tens Of thousands of idle,
criminal wanderers abroad; but then, there
are millions of mosquitoes along the shore
Mere numbers do not frighten Americans, hard
ened to colossal statistics Demonstrations of
the virulence of the species sorely needed.
And for this the facts collected by Or
laudo Z. Lewis and summarized in his recent
address before the National Prison Association,
in session At tnlcaCO, deserve lne WIDEST pup
licity.
Nearly all the trespassers on railroad tracks
and cars are tramps and more trespassers than
passengers are killed annually by trains Over
ten thousand are either slain or injured every
year and the officials of the Pennsylvania Rail
road estimate that American railroads spend
over S25.OOO,OOO a year protecting property from
Numbering vagrantS and caring for injured tres
passers If this estimate is nearly correct,
what must American cities squander In housing
ard feeding the migratory multitude in public
and private institutions? And who can estt-
mate the evil wrought by the swarms OF 'yegg-
men" who for years have been perpetrating
every known crime almost unmoested? Amer
leans have treated the tramp like the mosquito;
they have simply brushed him away whenever
he has tried TO light, and have exterminated him
without benefit of clergy whenever he has been
outrag geously obnoxious and slow in making his
escape. Mr. Lewis suggests the obvious when
/ he recommends a substitute for this treat
ment Imprisonment with hard labor, cumua-
! tive sentences, state vagrancy laws instead OF,
