Swedes Make Good Citizens

The latest reports from the bor- der towns in southeastern Arizona and as far east as Fl Paso, Texas, are that thousands of Japanese art making strenuous efforts to gain admission to the United States. To the person who seldom, if ever, pays any attention to the statistics of the bureau of immigration, the number of foreigners who come to this country every month is astounding. The tide of immigra tion is increasing instead of dimin- ishing, and it is no wonder that true Americans are alarmed at the outlook. Fifteen per cent of the entire population of the United States is foreign born. and twenty three per cent more of our citizens are children of foreign born parents
 The Swedes. it appears, make the best citizens and learn the English language quite rapidly. The total number of Swedes, both foreign born and children of foreign percentage, now in the United States, is near two million. It is said of this race of people that they are very patriotic and the records of the police courts and jails rarely have a Swedish name on their pages. The national characteristics of the Swedes are honesty, truthfulness, industry and frugality.-Ex.

Grazing Inspector

Joseph J. Campbell, of Prescott. a stockman~who has had a wide experience on the ranges of tn, southwest, has been appointed as an inspector of grazing in the forest service. Special attention will be given to grazing matters during the coming season and every effort made to improve the value of the ranges within the national forests.
 A portion of the $5OO,OOO appro priation recently made for i'm prove ments on the national forests will be expended in the construction of drift fences where needed for the proper control of grazing and in building reservoirs on portions of the range which cannot now be fully utilized on account of the lack of sufficient supply of water.
 The advantages of properly controlled range which is being constantly improved will fully compensate the stock men for the grazing fees paid by them. The losses will be smaller; the weight of the stock will be increased and they will bring better prices when marketed. When this is fully realized the objection to the pay ment of a moderate grazing fee will be entirely overcome

MAY CAUSE TROUBLE

If a man is sentenced to serve a term in prison at Yuma can the
 legislature of Arizona enact a law which will force him to serve that term elsewhere? If the legislature has such power has it availed itself of it in the removal bill just passed? An army of attorneys are ready to answer these questions negatively and upon the answer of the supreme court depends the final issue, says the Yuma Examiner.
 It is by no means certain that the penitentiary can be removed from Yuma under the law enacted by the legislature. Every convict on the hill was sentenced to serve his time in the penitentiary at Yuma and not at Florence. If the territory attempts to take them elsewhere the lawyers of any prisoner may ask for. his release from Florence on a habeas corpus and unless the legislature has cleverly and securely anticipated this point and provided for the removal of the prisoners in man. ner that admits of no doubt the lawyers are liable to make thelr point stick and thus defer the removal of the institution in- definitely.
 That this point will become the subject of an interesting contro- versy at an early date is certain and whether the territory can successfully contest the issue is one on which lawyers do not agree. An effort to remove the penitentiary of South Dakota in 1878 in order that the institution might have farming facilities failed for this reason. The men had been sentenced to serve at Sioux Falls and the supreme court held that they could not be made to serve at any other place. A test case of this sort proba bly, will be filed at the in stigation of the territory at an early date, and if the supreme court decides that the law as passed by the legislature is not adequate the removal will have to go over for another two years.
 Under any circumstances the removal cannot be accomplished with any great dispatch as only $25,O0O of the $125,OOO provided is available for the purpose during 1907 Probably this will not be touched before the cool days of early winter as the board of con- trol has given no intimation of any immediate action in the matter. Because the full amount of money required for the removal is not available at any one time the re- moval must be effected in less than months.

a certain way, a certain class of cases.
If they agree in advance to do this,
they are suborned; if they fail to de-
eide as they have agreed, they stand
forth as liars; if they do SO decide,
their oath of office to impartially hear
and rule, is violated. 1t seems in
credible that the President would so
override all judicial boundaries; but it
is also incredible that an Attorney
General of a well"settled and import
ant State should say that the President
has done these things if he hasn't done
them. But if he has done them. then
1t is not surprising that he should fail
to be shocked on being told that his
appointee for United States Marshal
of Utah had insisted to judge that
he should rule in a given case in the
interest of the Republican party.

MIR. ALDRICH AS A FATHER.

He was the dearest father. the sun
niest nature and the closest friend that
ever man knew. l have heard him termed
time and again that eternal boy" II
seems TO me. looking back through the
years of my boyhood. that there never
was q time when my father wasn't at
hand just when I wanted him, And 1
never knew him to be so busy that he
could not find time to listen to the sor-
rows and troubles Of others.
My mother and he have always been
like pair Of young lovers. In the forty
two years that had elapsed since their
marriage the longest time they were ever
apart was two weeks. and 1 have heard
him say that those were two weeks too
many.
To my brother. Charles. who died three
years ago in the Adirondacks, and to my
self, he was ever our closest and dearest
friend more like an older brother than a
father. Some OF the happiest days OF my
brothers life and my own were passed
with him in Portsmouth. where he lived
over with us the scenes OF his own boy
hood, described by him in his STORY OF a
Bad Boy"
/ suppose that every one knows that
he told practically the story OF his own
early life In that, and that old "Rlver-
mouth was Portsmouth. Many time,
when boy. have had him point out to
me and Charles the very window from
which TON Bailey" was won't to make
his escape from his grandfather's house.
when he preferred the society OF his
friends. the Rtvermouth boys, TO that OF
his grandfather's household.

his heart turned. The death OF my BROTH

THE MOST SERIOUS YET.

By far the most serious charges
against President Roosevelt are those
made by Mr. Robert III. McCarter, who
is the Republican Attorney-General of
New Jersey, These charges have made
commotion in the East, and it was
inevitable that they should do So Mr..
McCarter publicly alleges that the
President compcls prospective ap-
pointees TO the Federal Judiciary to
agree with his opinions regarding GER
tain laws that may come before them
for consideration, before he will con,
sent to their appointment
Pursuing the subject, New Jersey s
Attorney General afirms that the Presi-
dent Influences the courts in their de-
cisions; that he event as far as 10
send Attorney-General Moody TO Chi
cago to tell a judge who was trying a
packing house case that the President
wanted the case decided in particular
manner
Mr. McCarter, being the Attorney
General OF a great and well-advanced
State. cannot but understand the grav.
Ity of these charges, 1t is not TO be
imagined that he would speak thus
without having substantial basis for
his charges II is not to be supposed,
occupying the position he does, that
Mr.. McCarter would fail to sense the
severity of the accusations he makes.
And as he is Republican, he would
naturally be averse 10 bringing for
ward charges such as these unless he
was thoroughly convinced Of their
truth, and that his civic duty required
him 30 make the exposure and pro-
test.
These charges made By Mr.. McCarter
are by far the most severe Of any ever
made against President Roosevelt. They
mean that he is packing the courts with
judges already committed to decide in

THE BOND ELECTION TODAY.

Today occurs the election on the
school board 8 proposition to issue $780,
600 in bonds for tho erection of new
school houses. We wish that this cleo
ton could be postponed so as to give
opportunity for n more complete under
standing of the matter. We had hoped
that the address OF the board would
enlghten the public on the question,
but it did not. In fact, so far as the
figures given in that address may bo
supposed to mean what they apparently
say, there does not seem TO be much
need for the issue proposed.
The address is also pitifully weak in
its handling Of the financial question,
undertaking to make comparisons that
do not compare, and to state conclu-
sions that do not ft.
With regard TO the need for new
the public fully into its confidence it
would have had a stronger case. Con
fdcnce begets confidence. The board
should have pointed out the specific
places, approximately, where the relief
is needed, where it proposed TO put
the new building or buildings;
what size it intended to make them.
A clear, concise. exact showing would
have invited consent, where the facts
would warrant the desire expressed.
And in view of the admitted incom-
petence Of the board to handle the
building of school houses properly, the
board should have designated a COM
mission of skilled persons to receive and
pass on the bids, award the contracts,
and see that the work was properly
done.
If the decision Of the taxpayers today
shall be adverse to the bond issue, the
board will have no one TO blame but
itself; for it failed to make n case
for the bond issue, and it failed to as
sure the taxpayers that their money
would be properly expended,

ROBBING THE PAUPER FUND.

The latest development IN the official
conspiracy of the county officials
against the Salt Lake City Chief of Poe
lice. takes the form Of robbing the pau
per fund of the county in order to send
an emissary East TO meet County Attor-
ney Hanson and put in black and white
Hanson s ideas and biased notions and
twisted conceptions of the fake case
he is trying to create against Chief
Sheets.
There has been heretofore a robbery
of the county in two items, each of
three hundred dollars. being a deple-
tion Of the public treasury TO the
amount Of six hundred dollars misap-
propriated i'll this conspiracy. The at.
torney of a notorious crook and contid-
cnce man was made State agent and
employed TO aid the prosecution against
Chief Sheets, although that attorney is
not and never has been resident OF
the State and is not qualified to take
or accept any public position in Utah.
And yet he is paid three hundred
dollars merely for the service of his
client in undertaking to fix upon the
Chief CT Police OF this city conspir-
acy and felonious guilt Some unknown
person outside of the State, r spy ap-
parently, WAS also paid three hundred
dollars out of the county's public
money for services in working up this
case against the Chief of Police.
Now comes this robbery of the pau
per fund in sending East au emissary
Of the County Attorney TO work on
this case. If the movers and chief
actors in this official conspiracy against
the chief were as effective and intelI
gence in their prosecution as they are
ingenious in Matching up schemes to
rob the public treasury, then indeed
the Chief might have some reason to
fear that they might make a case
against him. But # they were as able to
do legal work as they are ingenious in
Matching up illegal and robbing schemes,
they would not be engaged in this con-
spiracy at all; because they know per-
fectly well that there is no case against
Chief Sheets, that he has done nothing
to be arrested or punished or prosecuted
for The case against him is utterly
broken down; the officially suborned
and basely perjured testimony has
fallen hat; the conspirators' case is
gone. 1t has ''petered out, and en-
crgcs from the little end of the horn as
a plain. miserable, wretched graft and
steal from the county pauper fund. y
contemplate end, truly, TO vicious,
malignant and illegal conspiracy, which
should condemn TO oblivion everyone
whose name has been in the least con-
nccted with it in any responsible way,

Here and There

MASTER RIVERMAN IN ACTION
First and foremost your true river
man can ride log. This does not
mean merely that he is able to stand
upright or to jump from one TO an
other without splasbing ln-though
even Tint is no mean feat, as trial
will convince you, That is the kinder
earten Of it. The saw log in the water
is not only his object or LABOR, put
his means Of transportation. Your true
riverman on drive almost never steps on
land except to eat and sleep.
A tourney down stream is TO hlm
an affair of great simplicity. He pushes
into the current stick OF timber,
Jumps lightly atop it, leans against
his peavy, and floats away as grace
full and motIonless as a Grecian statue.
When his unstable craft overtakes other
logs, he deserts it, runs forward as far
as he can-the logs bobbing and awash
behind his springs-aDd so continues
on another timber. Jack Boyd once, FOR
a bet, rode for twelve miles down Grand
stream q bank across his shoulders,
Fully half the time his feet were sub
merged to the ankles.
Nor does quick water always cause
your expert riverman to disembark.
Using his peavy as balancing pole,
and treading with squirrcl-lIke quick
ness as his footing rolls. he will run
rapids of considerable force and vol
ume. When the tail Of drive passes
through the chute of dam. there are
always half dozen or so Of the ''roar''
through standing upright like circus
riders and yelling like fends.-Stewart

Some Poetry
THE AMERICAN BELLE.

THE AMERICAN BELLE.
She loved a freckled little boy who used
TO como and play;
And who. unless his parents shrieked,
would always spend the day.
Her face was like a little rose, her hair
like threads OF gold
She was dainty little girl when she was
six years old.
And next she loved a callow youth. Her
nRe was then fourteen.
He thought himself fun grown man in
boyhoods S faith serene.
They quarreled, and she went 20 school
at school n girl forgets-
And he. In desperation. went TO smoking
cigarettes.
Two years flew by. She met man who
knew her peoples wealth.
The other girls would help her out-they
always met by stealth.
For ho was beetle-browed and big, and
though he needed cash.
He, too. had wealth, but il was III the
size OF his mustache.
The teacher nipped this in the bud and
packed that maiden home.
They met once more She wept. and he
assured her he would come;
But she forgot him in year because
that boy was there
The little lad who used TO love the child
with golden hair.
But wait-you guessed the thing: of
course she married. to be sure;
But not that boy, because he was a law
yer young and poor;
But though that boy met his pa. and
when the race was run
She told him Dennis was his name, but
he could be her son.
