OPEN AIR PARLIMENTS.
They Still Meet Yearly In Switzerland

They Still Meet Yearly In Switzerland
 Sudany.
 The open air parliment is an old custom which still survives in some of the Swiss cantons. Appenzell has two X such bodies, one in the Roman Gath ollie part of the canton, the other in the Protestant end. Both meet on the last Sunday in April.
 The President is escorted into the open square facing the Rathaus or town hall. In front of the platform where ile takes his place the burghers stand bareheaded. They take an oath to vote for the good of the land and the avoidance of evil"
 The members of, the cantonal gov ernment are elected by a show of hands. Then follow discussions about roads and various new regulations. The proceedings are orderly and digni- | fled, not unworthy, the setting of the picture, which is made by the encir- cling mountains.
 The Glarner parliment meets annual | ly on the first Sunday in May. Canton Glarus, too, has had it's religious wars. 1 But in this district the two religions did not separate as in other places. It was agreed by contract in 1923 that each denomination should nave a se- parate government, but with a com mon open air parliament.
 Perhaps in no town in the world, says theReview of Reviews, do Pro- testants and Catholics get on so well together as in little Glarus. There is but one church, belonging to both Protestant and Catholic parishes, and services are held for both every Sun day morining, one after the other.

But of course it will not do to bank on the continuance of the balminess and balm. There may yet be snowbanks. Remember the blizzard, which came on the 12th of March and for days made New Haven a scene of beauty and trouble. Of course nobody expects an- other blizzard, not even Prophet John son, but there may be substitutes for it which will be bad enough. What ever there is, however, wont be long

How cheerful and con fident that sun does act compared with it's performances on the days when the mercury was below zero. It didn't seem able to do much then except cold ly stare at Winters unfinching impu- dence. Now it has the look of a benev- olent and benefcent victor. Shine on!

pRoFIrABLB HOLLAND.

The Dutch took Holland some time ago and they have hung manfully on to it ever since. It did pretty we'll for them last year, according to all ac- counts. Agriculture and dairy farming, the economic corner stones of the Netherlands, were more than usually profitable; the dry summer, combining with normally abundant water supply, produced excellent cereal and grass crops, and prices ruled very high. h. dustrial activity was at a high pitch, and commerce and shipping left little to complain of. The low water in the Rhine and It's estuaries caused some loss and delays to the transit and river shipping trades, but on the whole these trades were also very active, reflect ing, as they did, the state of the Ger man industries which use the Dutch waterways. Still more conducive to the national welfare was the remarkable prosperity of the produce trades of Hollands vast East India colonies. To- bacco, tin, sugar, spices, and coffee came in abundant supplies, and sold at high prices, and this caused a degree of prosperity to prevail in Java, su- matra and the other possessions which could not fail to affect the numerous Dutch capitalists who have invested enormous sums in these tropical pos sessions.
 Holland, is quiet and uneomplaining country, and it evidently has reason to be.

The navy department has obtained legislative authority for purchasing certain supplies in the open market after the manner of business houses Under decision of the Controller it became necessary last year to purchase all supplies, no matter how small in amount, by formal contract, requiring the filing of a bond the contract to be awarded after public invitation of competitive bids. In cases where the amount involved was small, business houses were not inclined to bid, since the red tape represented too much trouble Hereafter it will be possible in cases where the amount is under $500 for the Navy department to waive the formalities, and bids will be invited by letter, or otherwise obtained, and the order placed without the requirement of contract and the other tedious and laborious system of duplicate bids, formal contracts and bonds.

In Watkinson, Georgia. there is a man who conducts a regular snake farm, and who has made good liv- ing by raising them for sale. He has a large number always on hand, and says he can handle without fear any kind of snake, including the rattler. Over these reptiles he seems to have some mysterious, soothing power, and but for the fact that some of the townspeople object to his snake farm, his life would be pleasant, and his oc- cupation more profitable.

A curious effect of the boom in auto mobiles is an increase in the cost of Bibles. The great demand for leather of all kinds in the last year for the cushions and the upholstery of the au- tomobile tonneau has so enhanced the cost of it that the Bible publishing houses have been obliged to put up their prices. The expense of making one of the large flexible back Bibles in common use has increased in the last few months from 30 to 40 per cent.

GEORGIA DAY
AT JAMESTOWN
EXPOSITION
ROOSEVEIT'S SPEECH is MAIN
FEATURE OF DAYS
CELEBRATION.
GIVEN ENTHUSIASTIC WELCOME
Advocated Big Navy and Laws For
Better Treatment of Wage
Farmers.

NORFOLK, Va, June 10.-This
was Georgia day at the jamestown
exposition, and the opening of Bull
lock hall, replica of the early home
of President Roosevelt's mother at
Roosevelt, Ca, erected as the Georgia
state building, was the feature that
drew President Roosevelt to the ex-
position for a second visit.
From the time the president and
Mrs. Roosevelt and their distin-
guished guests were landed at the
government pier at 1880 O'Clock
this morning until their departure
at 4:37 O'Clock this afternoon, every
minute was occupied.
The president spoke in the
Georgia ceremonies reviewing stand,
and in the afternoon addressed the
convention of the editorial associa-
ton in the exposition auditorium.
On both occasions he was given an
enthusiastic welcome. He visited
the Georgia building, the New York
building and the negro exhibit, and
in his drive over the grounds thou
sands of people lined the streets and
gave him a continuous ovation.
The schedule arranged in ad-
vance was followed to the letter, and
when the Mayflower weighed anchor
at 5 O'Clock and the party started on
it's return trip to Washington, an un-
usually strenuous day was closed
without an incident of note having
occurred

The Presidents Address.

President Roosevelt spoke as fol-
lows during the Georgia ceremonies:
81 cannot express how deeply
touched I am at the action of the
state of Georgia, my mothers
state, the state from which |
draw half the blood in my
veins, in erecting as the Georgia
state house at the Jamestown expo
sition replica of my grandfather S
house at Roswell, Ca. the house
in which my mother passed her
youth and where she was married to
my father. Ge5rgia's history is
unique, for she alone among the or
iginal thirteen colonies and the sub
sequent new states added thereto,
was founded with a consciously be-
nevolent purpose, with the deliberate
intent to benefit mankind by up
building a commonwealth along care
fully prepared lines of social, politi-
cal and religious liberty and justice.
Ogelthorpe, the founder of Georgia,
was a true apostle of philanthrophy
and of equality of opportunity for
all. His set purpose was to found
a state the gates of which should be
open to the oppressed of every land
and creed. His colony welcomed alike
those who fled from political or So
cial tyranny, and those, whether Jew
or Christian, who sought liberty for
consciences sake. | am proud, in
deed, of my Georgian ancestry, and
of the fact that my grandfather
grandfather, Archibald Bulloch, was
the first governor, or as the title
then went, president of the new state,
when the Continental congress, of
which he was also a member, de-
clared that the thirteen states had
become new and independent ma
tion.
Perhaps the very fact that I am
half Southern and half Northern in
blood, and that for many years l
was brought into peculiarly close as
sociation with the life of the great
West, makes it natural for me to feel
with intensity the strong sense of
kinship with every portion of our
great common country, which should

rect examination, they threw the ut
ter depravity of the witness, and
gave the watching crowd the one
deep-noted thrill of an otherwise
wearing day. Orchard swore that
while in San Francisco he repeatedly
received money from Pettibone, who
used the name of Pat Bone in
transmitting it, and in making this
clearer today the defense gave eyi-
dence of plan to show that the
name thinly disguised by persons
plotting against the leaders of the
Western Federation of Miners.
Orchard denied that mine owners
or railway men had any part in the
MED that he had a mania for con-
Tossing uncommitted crimes, and de-
MED that he was under the infiu-
ence of MCFARLAND. He showed
some spirit in answering many of
Attorney Richardson's questions, but
he firmly held to all of his first
stories, and was calm and certain
throughout the long and trying ex-
animation. Two more crimes were
brought home to Orchard today.
He confessed that he burned a
cheese factory in Ontario to get $500
insurance, and he confessed that he
began his life of crime by selling
cheese at short weight. Counsel
for the state let today's examination
take its course without a single Sc
rious objection, and at the close pri-
Vately signified their entire satisfac-
ton. Orchard has been on the stand
five days and has fully two more to
serve.

Ada county pail and a close cell

he is sullen and will refuse to say a
word when he is called to the stand.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 1O.-An
important ruling by Judge Dunno in
favor of the defense this afternoon
brought to sudden and premature
close the case of the prosecution
against Mayor Eugene e. Schmitz
for extortion. The defense, taken
by surprise, was not ready to begin
the introduction of evidence; SO Mr..
Campbell, after a fifteen-minutes'
conference with his assistants and
their client, made the opening ad-
dress to the jury in behalf of the
mayor, and adjournment was order
ed until tomorrow at o a. m.
Abraham Ruef, indicted jointly
with Mayor Schmitz, and who has
pleaded guilty, though paradoXically
proclaiming himself innocent of the
charge, will not be called by the
state to testify against the eity's
chief executive and his former politi-
cal partner. When the prosecution
so unexpectedly closed its case with
out having called Ruef, the general
idea was that he was being saved
by Heney for rebuttal. But the As
sistant District Attorney denied that.
I'VE shall not call Ruef at ALL he
said That opportunity now passes
to the defense.
The ruling by Judge Dunno that
resulted in cutting short the states
case was the sustaining of an objec-
ton to the introduction of a mass of
testimony tending to show that the
mayor had made a common practice
of playing fast and loose with res
taurant and saloon licenses, and had
ordered a number of them held up
out of Interior motives. This testi-
mony the state proposed to offer un-

UNEASY CONDITION OF
WALL STREET MARKET

NEW YORK, June Payment
was made today of $3,000,000 in
stallment of subscriptions on Great
Northern preferred new stock. This
heavy drainage of cash reserve while
so much eager requirements for new
capital purposes remain unsatisfied is
regarded as something of an anomaly
and has the effect on speculative SEN
timent in spite of the absence of ef-
feet Immediately in the money quo
tations.
Reports of low condition estimates
in winter wheat crop today made by
state authorities in Kansas and
Kentucky served to shake to some
extent the confidence that has been
felt that Mondays government report
would show marked improvement
over the previous monthly estimate.
A feature of the day was the num-
ber of rumors of new railroad rela-
tions which came into circulation.
Apparently the plan for transfer of
control of the Boston e Maine to the
New York, New Haven & Hartford,
gave the impetus to these rumors.
Many of them centered about a sup
posed transfer of control of Delaware
d Hudson, but none of them received
any official sanction. The coalers
were all helped by the evidence of
prosperous conditions in that trade.
Included in the showing~was the huge
increase In the tonnage of the May
shipments over those of May of last
year. Readings prominence in the
days advance was partly due to this
and was increased by rumors of a
proposed increase in the dividend
rate, also without official sanction.
The check to activity which followed
the gold export engagements result
ed In only slight concessions in
prices and they were lifted to the
highest level again late in the day.
The close was fairly steady.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par
value, $4,000.

The two gentlemen are heavily In

irrigated lands. The plant Is located
at Twin Falls, Idaho,
1t is about completed, and will
have capacity of $4,000 horse

pacity of 1000 horse power, is now
completed As Major Reed ex--

Falls, 80 feet, and Lower Salmon
Falls, 81 feet.
The surveying crew it now at work
at Wells, and will work toward Ely.
That they intend to-run their lines
into this city is almost certain, but
at present the gentlement are not in
a position to make any positive
statements concerning their plans

The two gentlemen will return in
a few weeks, when they will have
their plans better outlined and no
doubt will bring even more encour-
aging reports to the people of this
section of the country. That Ely
will be on their big power line seems
quite certain, which only tends to
show how the country is attracting
outside interests.

MISSING CLERK
APPREHENDED
IN SALT LAKE
Harry l.. johnson, Wanted For
Passing Worthless Checks to
BE Brought Rack.

Harry L. Johnson, the young man
who left Ely in a hurry and likewise
left a large number of checks, said
to be worthless, is In Jail at Salt
Lake. Deputy Sheriff Hudgens re-
ceived a telegram from the chief of
police of Salt Lake yesterday morn
ing to the fleet that the young man
was arrested Sunday night and was
being held awaiting instructions
from this city.
The case is now in the hands of
the local authorities, and although
the sheriff was not in a position yes
terday to make a statement con-
cerning the affair, 1t Is reported that
steps are being taken to bring the
clerk back. In order to bring him
back extradition papers will have
to be taken out, which may necessi-
tate some little delay. According to
a report, however, steps have al
ready been taken toward obtaining
the papers, and no time will be lost
in escorting Johnson back to face his
accusers.
The grand jury heard evidence in
the case few days ago and prompt
ly issued an indictment charging the
young man with passing worthless
checks. The sheriff got word that
Johnson was in Ogden, where he at
tended a dance. He communicated
with the Ogden and Salt Lake off,
cials, with the result that Johnson
was apprehended.
One of the persons who had be-
friended the unfortunate clerk stat
ed to News representative that the
case was out of his hands as far as
he was concerned. He acknowledged
that Johnson had been arrested and
would be brought back for trial
He would have allowed Johnson to
go as far as he was concerned, but
in view of the fact that the matter
was taken up by the, grand jury the
case was entirely out of his hands.
