paragraphs in appreciation OF her good

Certainly the Duchess OF Marlborough
was never more popular than at this
moment This Is directly due to her
charming personality, her sweetness Of
character. and her consistent large
heartedness.
During the last week she has opened
and amply subscribed to three bazaars
which have been promoted IN the name
OF charity, and now she is working
night and day on behalf Of the wives
and children OF those who are secured
In English convict prisons. She has
taken two large houses in EndsleIzh
street, in the west-central district OF
London, and she has had these beauti-
fully fitted and furnished. In the first
she intends to lodge twenty wives of
prisoners serving long sentences. They

By The MARQUIS DE cAsrELLANE.

PARIS, Aug. 24.-The horrible crime
committed by Henry Huntington, the son
OF an honorable American family. opens
up fresh horizons on the mentalities
created in the present generation by
the laws and principles CT the demoo-
racy. Here is a young man brought up
according to these laws and principles,
who, in consequence OF a disagreement
with his father, left his roof.

returns TO obtain his pardon. Henry
Huntington has two sisters and two
brothers, and when these latter remark

pardon OF his mother, he draws a re-
volver from his pocket and fires al them.

From here 1t is but a step to the

FORESEES ANARCHY
IN SOCIALISM
British Society Plans Cam

King Said to Be
Worried.

LONDON. Aug. 24-The recent social
isdc victories have so scared the con-
sentative English people that thousands
are already foreseeing a wave OF an
archy. and hundreds of conservative
papers are imploring their readers to
get together and form associations for
the purpose Of killing on the soelaIstic
hydra.
The anti-sociaistic movement has al
ready begun TO take on the definite form
and is to be directed BY the London

Capt. H. NJ. JesseI has been selected
eommander-in-chief OF the movement
and announces that he will Immediately
appoint subcommittee all over the
United Kingdom to make the prellmin-
airy preparations for strong educational
campaigns against socialism.
Il has furthermore been decided by the
Municipal Society to hold a national
conference upon socialism in the begin
ming Of October and to arrange for the
delivery Of hundreds OF lectures in all
parts OF the country during the fall and
winter upon municipal socialism and
other municipal questions.

more active than ever. and it is esti-

week are held by them throughout the
country.
Even King Edward is said to be quite
a little worried at the growth OF social
ism and its increasing hold on the work

prominent socialist leader, the efforts Of

RECLAMATION OF ARID LANDS

Gin retaining the arid lands Of
the West the government has al
ready expended about $4,000, 900 and
is spending about 81. 000, 900 a moltL,
a Y the New York Sun. The money
used for the various projects is really
aloan, an investment. Some if it has
come back already, more is coming,
and in the course Of a few years all
the cost Of retaining millions of
acres Of hitherto useless lands will BE-
returned to the federal treasury. Mr..
Newell. director Of the reclamation
that the plans thus far approved will
provide for the reclamation of Bill
900 acres Of land. The average value
Of irrigated land in the United States
is SAT an acre. This acreage, there
fore, will add $149, O37 900 to the tax
able property of the United States in
land values alone. The approximate
total cost of the approved projects is
$97, 600, 900. Under the law the irri-
gated lands are sold only in small
parcels to actual settlers. Farms are
taken up under the homestead act,
and no farm can consist of more than
100 acres. As the government charges
on an average of only about $50 an
acre, while the average value Of such
lands is SAT, the purchasers Of these
lands are benefited by what may DE
called "unearned increment to the
extent Of about so per cen of their
investment. From an engineering
point Of view the work being done by
the reclamation service is only less in
teresting than hat at Panama. These
enterprises give employment to 10000
men. It is estimated that when the
work is ended homes will have been
provided for 100000 families. As
$1,000 a family should be a low esti-
mate for the average annual output
Of the farms they will cultivate, it
may be assumed that these lands will
add at least $500, $1,000 a year to
the national wealth.

DOES HAYWOOD
WANT TO Give The
CONNECTS FREEDOM?
(By c. c. Wright.)

Reno papers report that w. d
Haywood g mission to Reno and Car
SON is to secure a pardon for Preston
and Smith, the men who were convict
ed Of numbering John Silva in Gold
field. In an interview Mr.. Haywood
admitted that he had seen the govern
or and members of the p%ardoning
board, but said he had not mentioned
the names Of the convicts to any of
those officials. So it seems certain
that Haywood is really working to Sc
cure a pardon for those men.
It is said that $19, 900 was spent in
the defense Of these men, and if that
be true, who on the outside can tell
how much more will be spent in Sc
curing their pardon, if it is secureds
To be convicted of a crime down in
the Goldfeld country a man must be
guilty as hell, and then some. So
these men must be guilty or else
they would not have been convicted.

people will want to know
People who are prejudiced against
the Miners union will probably say
that members of the organization are
guaranteed immunity from punish
ment for their crimes. Others may
charge that the men will be needed
for future contingencies.
And when Mr.. Haywood devotes
his efforts to turning loose upon So
ciety men who have been convicted
Of murder, he lays himself open to
such charges.
If these men are liberated because
they belong to the Miners union, in
order to avoid Partially (for the law

~convicts in the pen who belonged to
other unions and were convicted of
murder and lesser crimes as well,
should also be given their liberty. And
then there are some other convicts
who never had the chance to join the
union, and they should be freed along
with the rest. Buckaroo Jack would
then escape the gallows.
Prison is the place for murderers.
It Is hard enough to catch them and
convict them, and when once they are
secure where they can no longer

Socialists want to make president of

The following order was issued
by President Roosevelt on the
18th instant canceling his order
of February 18th relating to is
suance of final receipts and pat
eEts under public land law:
sMy order Of February 18th,
1907, relating to the issuance of
evidence of title under the public
land laws, is hereby cancelled for
the reason that Congress did not
appropriate an amount sufficient
to enable the Commissioner Of the
General Land Office to properly
carry out the purposes of that
order, which were to have such
examination made Of all appllca-
tons for patent as would facilitate
the issuance of title to bona fide
settlers and homemakers, would
reduce illegal entries to a mini
mum, and bring the work Of the
Land Office up to date.
With the amount actually appro.
priated it is not possible to carry
out the order, or to provide with
certainty for the detection Of
fraud without causing unreason-
able hardship to bona fde settlers
and homemakers.
In order to accomplish as much
as can be accomplished with our
present means in preventing illegal
acquisition Of public lands, the
Commissioners of the General
Land Office will detail all his
available field and office force in
such manner, by concentration re-
strict fraud, enforce the existing
law, and promote the bona fde
settlement Of public land by home
makes.
if the people of Idaho and the
west generally will read the above
articel from the President, which
rescinds his previous orders with
holding the issun mace of final re-
ceipts and patents to the entry
men on the public lands Of the

reported upon favorably by an
inspector or detective of the Gen
eral Land Office, they will be
able to reach a fuller realization
Of the success of the splendid
fight waged by Senator Hepburn

made by the President, in pur-
suance of the policy ipaugurated
by the Secretary Of the Interior
to the effect that no more final

and approved the entry,
Senator Hepburn attacked this
