This gradual reduction of the
bonded debt is being accomplished
without hardship upon the taxpayers,

be devised In relation to the bonded
debt of the territory than to continue
the payment of bonds by direct tax
for that purpose as they become due.
In this manner the debt win be grad
ually wiped out and the taxpayers re-
lieved of the interest charges.
There are now thirteen designated
repositories in which the territorial
funds are on deposit. entitled under

given surety company bonds To secure
the territorial deposits, this class of
security being preferable in many re-
spects to a bond with personal
sureties.
In this connection would suggest
that in the territorial laws concerning
repositories, provision should be
clearly made for the periodical eXami-
nation Of all collateral and security
bonds filed. with a view To their re-
newal or replacement by others when
it might be deemed necessary The law
of the territory is entirely silent upon
this point, although the system was
initiated nearly thirteen years ago.
and ii is probate that some of the
original personal bonds filed in 1898
are still in force. although some of
the signers may be dead and others
bankrupt.

sTOckMEN DISAGREE.
cattlemen Favor and Sheepmen Op
pose leasing System.

Washington. - The visiting stock
men Monday morning went over the
whole question before the Public
Lands Commission meeting being pre-
sided over by Land Commissioner
Richards.
The afternoon was devoted by the
Senate committee on agriculture to
hearing individual opinions Of stock
men and the reading and discussion OF
the letter Of President Roosevelt to
Senator Warren.
All Of the cattle men attending these
meetings favored a system Of leasing
and range control, while nearly all OF
the sheepmen opposed 1t and urged
tha. conditions be allowed to remain
as they are.
They contended that leasing laws
would prevent the country from being
settled up by homesteaders and that
the growth and development OF the
West would be retarded by tieing up
large areas. They contended also that
too much power would be placed In
the hands OF the secretary OF agricul-
ture II the remaining 100000 acres OF
grazing lands OF the West were placed
absolutely in his control. as they ar
gued the proposed amendment would
do. All admitted that under the ad-
ministration of Secretary Wilson no
serious evils might come, but insisted
that II the department should 1all INTO
the hands OF a secretary like Hltch-
cock, hostile to western interests, the
results would be disastrous.

THE FATHERS WORK.
Suggestions Of President 2oosevelt to
the Mothers Assembly.

Syracuse, N. Y.-Mrs. E. H. Merrill
OF this city, president Of the New York
State Mothers Assembly. is in receipt
OF letter from President Roosevelt,
in which he defines the place OF the
father and mother in the home. The
letter was written in response to one
asking suggestions for the council Of
mothers recently held at Newburg,
and the state convention to be held in
the fall.
The President says:
For one of your topics how would
1t do to speak of the place of the
father in the home? Now and then
people forget that exactly as the
mother must help the breadwinner by
being good housekeeper, SO the father
in his turn, If he is worth his salt,
must in every way back up the mother
in helping bring up the children.
After all, the prime duties are ele-
mental and no amount Of cultivation,
no amount Of business force and sa-
gacity, will make the average man
good citizen unless he be good hus-
band and father. and unless he is
successful breadwinner. is tender and
considerate with his wife and both low
ing and wise (for to believing and weak
and foolish is utterly TulnOuS) IN DEAL
ing with the children.
II think it a crime for the woman to
shirk her primary duties to shrink
from being a good wife and mother. or
course, the woman should have the
same right as the man to train her
mind, to better herself; and occasion
ally a woman can and ought to follow
some special vocation in addition to
fnever in substitution for) her home
work.
But just as the highest work for
the normal man is work for his wife
and children. so the highest work for
the normal woman is the work OF the
home, where. heaven knows. the work
is ample enough.
But also feel she can do the best
work in her home If she has healthy
outside interests and occupations in
addition. and l most nrmly believe
that she cannot do her full duty by
her husband If she occupies merely
servile attitude and that she Is quite
as bad a mother II weak and foolish
as If hard and unloving."
