state law that went into effect on

The law was passed quietly by the
last legislature In an effort OF the
anti.saloon league to put out OF
business the "iavorite saloon" In
effect It provides that as a man has
been found drunk five times in the
same saloon his name should not
only be posted In all saloons and
drug stores as a hsbitusl drunkard
but he must be refused liquor where
ever he applies for drink. The only
trouble is that there are II, 446 sep

UTAH TURNED SMOOT DOWN.
The Senator Beaten at All Points
in the Election.

Salt Lake City, Nov.-Utah
politicians believe that Senator Reed
Smoot, Mormon apostle, will not
seek reelection, but will retire from
all active participation in politics.
The defeat which all his friends and
his tickets suffered at the election
last week will be the cause for bis
retirement, II he does step down and
out.
A movement has been started
among gentle Republicans In Utah
to get petition signed by thous.
ands Of Republicans asking Smoot
to adopt the course indicated. At
the polls Utah voters delivered the
most crushing, stinging rebuke to
Smoot that he ever received In bis
political career: 1t was humillating
for he will have no excuse to offer for
1t when he gets back to Washington
and Is questioned by the President
and other national party leaders.
His own ward In his own home
4 town, Provo, gave the Democrats q
majority over the Republican ticket.
The chief four cities In Utah repudi.
ated Smoot and his followers. Salt
Lake City, the capital, gave John s
Brapsiord, American, a plurality OF
$500 over DR.. Plummer, the Smoot.

Smoot and his crowd among the
Mormons, who still sought revenge
at the polls against the Americans,

WOMAN RAFFLES TO PRISON
Attorneys For Mrs. Romadks
Said She Was Being
"RaiIroaded."

Chicago. Nov. 1S.-Aiter a trisl
which lasted only eleven minutes,
Mrs. Evelyn Romadka, the wealthy
Milwaukee woman who was indicted
for various burglsries in this city,
was sentenced by Judge Brentsno to
Imprisonment In the penitentiary FOR
the indeterminste term OF one to
twenty years. Her counsel declared
in court that she was being railroad.
ed to prison for thepurpose ofsheild.
ing other persons.
Earlier in the day Attorney John
+. Donovan OF Milwaukee, counsel
Tor Mrs. Romadks, announced his
intention OF applying to Judge Bren.
tsno for a lunacy commission to ex
anime the prisoner. This was not
done because OF disagreement re-
gard'ng the proper method oideiense
and Mr.. Donovan in court expressed
desire TO retire from she case. Per.
mission to do this was refused by
the court. Attorney s. c. Herren
then addressed the court, declaring
that Mrs. Romsdks was being rail.
roaded to prison for the purpose Of
protecting other people, who prefer.
red to see her in the penisentiary
rather than In an asylum.
7. ]. Cain Of Oshkosh, Wis, the
father OF Mrs, Romsdks, asked per-
mission to explain his attitude In
the case, but Judge Brentano would
not permit him to talk.
The court asked Mrs. Romadka
what attorney she desired to repre-.
sent her. She replied Mr.. Donovan,
but asked that her plea OF guilty
entered originally on her arraifin-
meat be allowed to stand. She also
said she would like to have the court
pass sentence q. once.
Attorney Herren then declared
that Mrs. Romadka was incapable
OF judging what plea was proper to
make and asserted that she was be-
ing "rsilrosded,"
The trial proceeded formally as II
plea OF "not guilty" had been en-.
tered. The taking OF evidence was
brief, and Judge Brentano immedi-
ately pronounced sentence.
Mrs. Romadka Is the wife OF a
trunk manufacturer OF Milwaukee.
She was arrested and convicted OF
being accessory to the burglsries and
larcenies OF Albert Jones, negro.
How a woman OF her social position
came to share In his plumber has
never been explained. Jones made
a free confession when arrested, and
is awaiting sentence.

Hawberries a Trap for Game

From Minneapolis Tribune.
Black hawberries are now furnish
Ing delicious meals for hunters In the
mountains. They are also being de
voured by bears, and they are being
picked of the branches by coons and
opossums. Indeed, the black haw-
berry is one OF the real food products
OF the woods, and there Is no danger
Of q lost person starving so long as
they stick to hsws.
You can't convince q mountaineer
that the hsw lie not a food. The only
trouble about II Is that 1t takes q
great many berries to make a ban
quet. 1t is the thick, mealy flesh
surrounding the seed that is eaten,
and in home sections housewives
make them into q sort Of jelly, which
is not half bad as q spread.
Experienced hunters make II q
practice to look for bears and grouse
In the vicinity Of q clump Of haw
bushes, and they are generally sue
cessiul In finding the game there.
The berries grow in large clusters,
like elderberries, and q quart can be
picked In q few minutes.

BURTON TELLS WHY.
Makes Public Explanation of His Race
for Mayoralty.

Cleveland. o.. Sept 1s.-Congressman
Theodore E Burton has issued a state
ment discussing the so-called national
phase of the coming municipal election
in Cleveland in which he is the Repub-
lican nominee for mayor, and making
public for the first time the letter of
President Roosevelt, who urged him to
accept the local Republican leadership
in opposition TO Mayor Tom L. Johnson.
Mr. Buttons statement including the
letter of the president is follows:
An erroneous impression has gone
forth that the mayoralty campaign here
is TO an exceptional extent complicated
with national politics. Such is not the
case The all-sufhcient reason for my
candidacy is the local situation Unless
l am grossly deceived, existing cOndi-
tions under the present city admins
tratiOn, demand immediate and radical
reform. The aim of the campaign in
which 1 am engaged is to redeem the
city of Cleveland from the administra-
ton of a ring
The specious claim has been made
that the main desire of the present ad-
ministration is to give the people of
Cleveland cheap street car fares. IN
built up in the city of Cleveland ire
mendous political machine Every de-
partment and agency Of the city gov
eminent has been utilized to perpetu-
ate its power. F'avors have been grant
ed and bargains made wherever political
support could be obtained Influences
are being exerted through political and
building departments, among contrac-
tors who have dealings with the city
and among an army of city employees
with an arbitrariness and a resort to
questionable methods never surpassed
in any American municipality
1T is not the object of those who
stand with me on the ticket to substi-
tute one political ring for another, but
to give a better administration to the
city of Cleveland one not subservive of
the fundamental ideas of popular con-
troll and in which all interests, fnclud-
ing street railway. corporations. shall be
treated without favor or prejudice
I should have been extremely re-
luctant to have turned aside from ma
tional politics without the approval of
President Roosevelt and Secretaries Taft
and Garfield. For this reason 1 have
communicated with each of them. Their
friendly advice has come to me on my
solicitation. and there has been no at
tempt at interference.
RooseveIt's Letter.
Following is the letter received from
President Roosevelt:
Oyster Bay, N Y. Aug. So 1907.
My Dear Mr.. Burton:-You put a
hard question to me in your letter
to Mr. Loeb. There are certainly quail
tiles of leadership which you possess
which could not be supplied by any one
else in the house, and you have a mas

SANTA FE PENsIoNssLARGE.
That Is When Compared With Those
Given by Other Lines.

The following communication regard
ing the pension system of the Santa e
railroad and addressed to the State
Journal was written by E. Gaylord, who
holds clerical position in the general
offices and who an old employe of the
Santa Fe. The communication follows:
Editor Evening State Journal:
The article in your issue of last Sat
urday evening, September IA. from the
pen of Mr.. H. w. Jacobs of the mechan-
ical department of the Santa Fe, was
full of points and facts worthy OF the
attention of Santa Fe employees and
the general public as we'll
With your permission would like to
enlarge upon one section of Mr. Jacobs
paper In the matter of pensions for its
old employees all that was said is true,
but a few figures Swill enable one to
see more clearly what the Santa Fe is
doing in the way of pensions for her
men When the management of the
Santa F'e announced, through the cir
cuIar putting the pension system into
effect, that the pay of retired employees
would be the most liberal ever allowed
by a corporation to its retired employees
the statement was taken cum grano
salis'T (which being interpreted means,
with a grain of salt'O, by most of US
who saw pensions in the dim future
Since the circular was issued we have
been doing a little figuring for our
selves and find that the statement OF
the MANAGEMENT is correct. Let me-
illustrate: The Pennsylvania company
organized its pension system in 1900 and
in that year there were eleven hundred
and ninety Q,190) men on the retired
lists of the Pennsylvania In that year
the pension budget of the company
amounted to two hundred and sixty
thousand, four hundred and thirty-three
dollars and twenty-six cents C$260. 433 Z6)
or an average of $1S.22 per month for
each pensioner. In the year 1906, six
wears later. there were over one thou
sand nine hundred pensioners on tine
payroll and the average received per
nensioner was $20.0S per month. The
noint brought out ny the above is that
while the number of pensioners in
creased upwards of eight hundred in
six wears the average amount per man
increased only $1-s6. which shows con-
clusively that the system of the Penn
svIvania grades very low indeed when
compared with that of the Santa Fee
The minimum pension of the Santa Fe
is $1,000 per month and the maximum
is $500 per month
Thus you see the great Santa Re
scores another one over its competitors.
Respectfully. T. A1LO0D.
