Fedor Vladimir, an escaped Russian
revolutionist passed thru here one day
the past week. He claimed to be
working in the interest OF the revolu
tionary cause and solicited funds.
Failing to convince US that he was not
an imposter, we declined to contribute.
He may be all right, but if he expects
sympathizers to give their hard earned
money to the cause he should be
armed with proper credentials.

Shorter Noon Hour

At this season of the year when the
days are growing shorter, it would be a
great favor to the parents who have
children attending school if the school
board would have the noon recess
shortened to one hour and school dis
missed an hour earlier, which would be
8 o'clock instead Of 4, thus giving the
scholars a chance to reach their homes
before dark. One OF the Parents.

Over 1900 Cases Of Fraud in Cases of
Public Lands Entries Cited-Presi.
dent Asks Legislation and Leaves
Details to Congress to Work Out
Lease System for Mineral Lands.

Associated Press to The Evenlng Times.
Washington, Feb. 13.-President
Roosevelt today sent to congress a
message calling attention to what he
terms "The urgent need of legislation
affecting the different phases of the
public land situation in the Uniten
States" He advocates the conserva-
ton of coal and other fuel resources
in government lands, urges govern
ment control of western public lana
pastures, with system of small grazing
fees, and asks an appropriation OF
half million dollars to aid in detect
ing and preventing land frauds. He
contends for system of government
leasing of its mineral lands and for
treating fuel lands as public utilities.
4, The president points out that it
would have been better If some eastern
coal lands had been left under gov
ernment CONTROL" and suggests pro-
vision in west against recurrence
of the conditions we deplore in the
east" Citing 2, 300 cases of public
land entries in the four districts men
toned, the president says no compli-
ance with law was found in over one
half and fraud in many others.
The president asks for legislation
which will provide two distinct titles
to public lands, one for surface and
other for underlying minerals, ana
these mineral lands the president
would dispose of by lease. The de-
taiis of this plan he leaves for con-
gress to work out, only arguing for
the adoption of the plan.

Associated Pres. to The Evening Time.

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, Feb. 13.-Today, Ash
Wednesday, marks the beginning of
the Lenten season, and until the last
day of March social gaieties will give
way to fasting and prayer. Lent will
be especially observed in the Episco-
pal and Catholic churches, in all Of
which special services were held to-
day.
The word lent" which is derived
from the Anglo-Saxon "Lencten
spring." from the season in which it
occurs, Is used to designate the SOL
emn period of devotion and abstinence
which has from early times preceded
the feast of Easter. 1t is mentioned
as early as the time of Irenaeus in
the second century and he speaks OF
it as not merely something of his own
time but of much earlier date. 1t
was arranged to extend over period
of forty days (not including Sundays)
in order to correspond with the forty
days of Christ's temptation in the
wilderness and so to teach the great
test to which every human life must
be subjected to prepare it for its ap-
pointed duty and victory.
The forty days of Lent, ecclesiasti-
cally. call upon the faithful children
of the church for abstinence from the
ordinary social pleasures, for special
devotion to the duties of the Chris
tian life, for the exercise of selr-re-
straint and self-sacrifice and for a
general bracing of the tone of the
spiritual life by devout reverence to
the standard set by Christ himself.
1t is, in fact, an episode in the
Christian life not to be evaded by those
who make the year the following of
the pathway of Christ through human
life from the manger of Bethlehem
which is in sight at Christmas to the
triumph of Easter.

But Notwithstanding the time spent
