WOMAN SUFFRAGISTs RE-
LEASED FROM PRISON

suffragists were released from prison
this morning, and subsequently were
entertained at luncheon by their col

convention in Chicago yesterday, and
from the Woman Suffrage Leagues of
New York. The text OF Sir Charles
Dilkes' bill enfranchising women was
issued this morning. 1t is similar to
one he introduced last year, and
which was defeated.

HAVE YOUR OWN FISH POND
GAME WARDEN WHITNEY WILL
PROVIDE you WITH FISH IF
YOU WILL RAISE THEM.

How would you like to have a pri-
vate fish pond plentifully stocked with
the finest and best of trout?
How would it seem to walk out to
your fish pond in your pajamas and
slippers and in 10 minutes catci
enough fish for breakfast?
You can have all this if you wan,
it and can provide the necessary pond
for the fish.
Game Warden Whitney announced
today that he will place as many as
possible of the fine spotted trout which
are now Matching in the hatchery at
the city park in private ponds. All
you have to do to get these fish is to
make application now with Warden
Whitney and when the fish are hatch
ed you can have as many of them as
you can well take care of, providing
your pond is not too large. However,
there are over 10000 lively young
troutlets Matched and doing nicely and
that is enough to stock good many
ponds.
AT least four prominent local peo-
pie will take advantage of this OPP
portunity to enter the fish raising in
dustry. They are: Ped Ingle. Ed Den
mis-, D. H. Coffin and Attorney c. C.
GOse AS the fish which are being
Matched are of an especially fine var
iety, Warden Whitney is anxious to
place them where they will be best
appreciated. So if you really want a
fishery, all you have to do is to get
pond and tell our game warden that
you want some of his fine spotted
trout to put into it.

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scientists
are unanimous in the conclusion. that
the generally accepted limitation OF
human life is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the race is now
possessed The critical period, that
determines it's duration, seems to be
between so and 60; the proper care of
the body during this decade cannot
be too strongly urged; carelessness
then being fatal to longevity. Natures

vitalizes every organ of the body.

COURTS NAMED
BY ROOSEVELT
= GIVEN THIRD TERM PRESIDENT
WILL HAVE NAMED NEARLY
ALL JUDICIARY.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. S.-1f
Theodore Roosevelt should be reflect
ed for another term, he will by the
end of the third term have appointed
so many of the judges on the federal
benches that he will thus Indirectly
dominate that branch of the govern
ment. This argument has caused even
strong supporters of the president to
sit up and take notice.
Friends of the president who have
been urging his reelection have scout
ed the idea that there was danger
from the too great domination of the
government by the executive. They
have contended that opponents of the
third term were illogical in that they
misname the coming term of Mr..
Roosevelt when they call it a third
for they refer to it, according to the
phrase coined by Senator Bourne OF
Oregon, as the second elective term
alleging that Mr.. Roosevelt in his first
term merely carried out the policies
of his predecessor, Mr.. Mckinley.
Judges Already Named.
With reference to the federal bench,
however, such argument does not APP
ply, for. from the moment he took the
presidential chair, he began appoint
ing judges in the course of his duty.
At the present time, he has named
three out of nine members of the fed
eral supreme court, II of the 20 cir
cult court judges, or All per cent;
52.5 per cent This makes close to so
per cent of his appontees of all fed
eral judges.
By the end of his present term
President Roosevelt may have named
seven of the nine supreme court JUS
tees, II of the 20 circuit judges, and
Al of the 80 district judges. Were he
to remain in office another four years
after 1909, his appointments would be
so large a proportion of the total of
dangerously near giving him Indirect
ly complete dominance of the entire
governmental structure.
Case of Pritchard.
1t goes without the saying that as
rule federal judges are men of the
highest personal and professional
standing, patriotic and minded to con-
serve the interests Of the people. New
ertheless, often the crises which have
come III this country have found
judges on the bench who reflected the
views of their appointers, and just
now the case is being cited of Judge
Pritchard of North Carolina who, pre-
Stunning he was carrying out President
Roosevelt's wishes, took untenable
ground in the North Carolina contro-
versy with the Southern railway.
Probably the opponents of the third
term for Mr. Roosevelt, by raising this
issue, have offered one of the most
effective reasons why there should be
no third term, and those who are
managing the third term campaign are
not yet prepared to resist the force Of
the contention.

new LAW WORKS BOTH WAYS
HAS TENDENCY TO BRING IN
MORE MONEY AND DOES AWAY
WITH ASSESSMENT FARCE.

Though by new law enacted at
the last legislature open bank accounts
and notes owned by citizens of the
county are not liable to assessment,
but little difference is made in per-
sonal assessments, according to Coun-
ty Assessor Toner.
Under the old law, bank accounts
and notes were exempt from taxation
the party being assessed. Hence it fol-
lowed that people known by common
repute to rank high financially showed
a surprisingly large debt to the county
assessor, the debt often equalling the
amount of their notes and bank &C
counts. They thereby evaded the tax
on SUCH
The new law was introduced by the
tax commission which stated that Its
enactment would have the effect OF
bringing more money into the country
for investment and development pur-
poses. Under the old law, money lend
ers who had money in deposit in the
banks forced the borrower to pay the
tax, by raising the interest on his
loans.
While it is granted that the new
law may have the desired effect OF
bringing more money into the country.
it is also held that it does away with
what was a good deal of a farce in the
assessment work.
