Laid to Rest Tuesday In

The remains of the late Mrs. Lucy

of Mr.. w. I. Baxter, accompanied by
her heart broken husband, brother
Jack and other relatives and number
of devoted friends from Wilmington,
arrived at noon Tuesday, and were met
at the depot by large concourse of
our citizens with all of whom she was
a personal favorite, and who are deep

death.
/ From the depot the remains were
borne to st. Stephens Episcopal
church, where the solemn services were
conducted by Rev. w. e. Cox, rector
of the church she attended in VIII

were tavorites of the lamented de-

here and in Wilmington were
most beautiful and touching.

MUNICIPAL eRAa :

An American city wholly tree from
graft would be a city in which the
American city dweller did his whole
duty as citizen. !. No American city
is equipped with an electorate of that
sort. The average urban voter neg
lects his pu bile duties and the profess
sional politician steps in and the reign
of graft is soon inaugurated.
OF late San Francisco has led the
cities of graft, it's legislature and its
executive head being alike corrupt.
The Ruef- f-Schmitz trials have driven
out its grafters. but in the course of
time they will return, for the Ameri-
can CITY dweller will not do his duty.
Pittsburg now steps into the lime
light, and pretty soon it will be some
other city. All are full of graft be-
cause the voter neglects his civic du-
ties, thereby bringing on himself addi-
tional burdens, for all graft in the end
is taken from the pockets of tax pay
ers-every dollar of it..
In Pittsburg no franchise of value
was put GATOu&A the CITY COOucll WILL
out paying the grafters their respective
tolls. In one case $45, 900 was divided
among so councilmen. Seven coun-
cilmen and two bank officials have
been arrested because the German Ma
tional bank handed over $l7 500 in
order to become city depository.
The evidence is ample and no doubt
they will be punished.
But will it do much good? The
Pittsburg man who neglected his civic
duties is the one who should be pun
ished, tor he made possible the situa-
ton in his city. He. alone did it, in
the last analysis. The true and real
and efficient remedy cannot be readily
devised. The man who does not vote
should be punished in some manner
the manwho is not alert when munich
pal questions are before the p ople.
The problem is difficult one. and
thus far the American people have not
been equal to it's solution

The revival meeting at the NJ. E.

night and many stand throughout the
service. The evangelists have proven
themselves masters in their work.
Souls are converted at each service.
Many have been reclaimed: 1t is really
pathetic to hear the young people pub
hcly confess that they once enjoyed a
christian experience but lapsed when
they came to Delta and learned to
dance. Stop, you who profess to know
Christ, and reflect upon the power of
your influence to destroy spiritual life
in the young by your example. Sab
bath will be great day. DR.. Carson
will deliver his famous lecture. Sunday
evening, on the theme, "The World
Wants Men," Owing to the limited
capacity of the church you must come
early if you want good seat. 1t is
hoped that large number of men will
hear this lecture. Services open to all.

Reduction in Grazing.

Following out a statement made a
year ago at the meeting of the National
Wool Growers Association in Salt Lake
City, Clifford Pinchot, | orester, and A.
F. Potter, Assistant Forester in charge
of the Branch of Grazing in the United
States Forest Service, has Just an
nounced reduction of 10 to l5 per
cent in rates for sheep grazing on the
national forests of the west This
general reduction in the schedule of
grazing rates will take effect for the
coming season of 1909.
The change in market conditions
which have made the sheep business
less profitable this past year, especial
ly the greatly reduced prices offered
for wool and the depreciation in the
value of mutton, make the announce
ment of great interest not only to those
who are interested in the sheep busi-
ness but to the men of every allied
industry. In 1907 when the promises
for reduced schedule were made it
was with the understanding between
the stockmen and the Forest Service
that the grazing rates would not be
changed for minor fluctuations in the
market which would naturally occur
from year to year, but would apply
only in case of radical or unusual
changes.
The new schedule does not affect the
cases where the minimum charge of
cents per head has all eady been allowed
or a specially low rate has been fixed
on account of some local condition. In
most cases the revised fees will mean a
reduction of one cert per head.
In fixing the rate for grazing by
different kinds of stock, the local con-
ditions, the effect of grazing by differ
ent kinds of stock on forest growth,
the demand for the use of the range by
owners of different kind of stock, the
needs of the homesteader, and the
profits of the business have been taken
into consideration.
