A SUGGESTION TO sECY. WRIGHT.

Few offices of the national government offer heavier
solemn responsibilities than that of secretary OF
From that Office possible president has just emerged,
and into that office Gen. Luke E. Wright a veteran dpo-
matist has entered.
Among many urgent and vital questions that will come
under Gen. Wrights notice for action is the dsorganzed
condition of the army. He may be able to solve the prob
lem of adequately manning forts and military stations
and he may revive the spirits of wilted army.
He will surely discover that young men will not
rush into military service wherein injustices prac
tced by yranncal department heads upon striving men
of the ranks.
If Secretary Wright will examine the records of his Of
fee he will find documents showing that Col. VIM. F.
Stewart SO years DID, with AZ years active service in the
army has been banshed to deserted fort in Arizona,
without trial and with other charge against him than
that he is strict discpnaran who knows his duty and
who will not tolerate political interference.
The facts concerning Col. Stewards record and his
pitfu exile well known to the readers of this news
paper.
1t is suggested that secretary Of take
pains to Immediately investigate the Of old Col.
Stewart.
If the colonel has committed crime, Gen. Wright,
make him stand trial
If he is found guilty, then have him stripped of his
rank!
If there charges against him, if he is merely a
stern old fighting who only knows game in life,
which game is not diplomacy then be fair to him, to your
Office, and in the of the American people release him
from the ratesnake jungle of Arizona and allow him to
out his honorable office in reasonable comfort and
with employment due to his rank!
Don't play politics with Col Stewart
just because Taft refused to listen to the cry of the
old officer in Punishment, and is asking the people
for higher Office do not deal unjusty with Col Stewart
merely in attempt to justify Tafts illegal position
the matter.

that. Rand was caring about her
safety already. Inexplicably, since
they were aware of each others ex-
istence for so short a time, the
thought that he should be fearing
for her, angry on her account, was
pleasant. She did not stop to con-
slider that the atrocity of the thing
was enough to make any man s
blood boil-whoever might be the
woman concerned. She was too
unaffectedly ingenious to think of
that. She believed that his con-
Germ was all for her sake-and it
pleased her.

nounced. after some time, hating
the cayuse.
Rand bit his lip with disappoint-
ment. Already" he could not help
exclaiming. Every WE'LL" he added,
turning the pony's head up the long
avenue which confronted them,
leading between rigid lines of
small, darkly foIiaged trees, at the
end of which lights were glimmer-
ing.

not coming in"

take long. I'd much prefer"
"Please." she pleaded. Il don't
wish to wait. I'm perfectly at home
in the saddle. Won't you let me go,
sir, if | ask ever SO prettily?"
No said Rand, stoutly. He
stared boldly into the soft, warm
shadows that yelled her eyes. You
can have your own way only on
one condition." he announced
Her laugh was as TREMENDOUSLY
| rich and sweet as a chord struck
upon a cello. Rand was strangely
thrilled; he was aware, numbly, of
an odd sensation-somethi like
little contraction in his throat.
And that?" she inquired, lightly,
THAT you tell me when l am to
be privileged to see you again"
A touch of the girls heel sent the
cayuse Waiting a dozen feet away
from him. She was again laughing
softly.
You'll see enough of me-" she
promised him. You'll see me most
every day. That will be one of my
duties"
'Duties?" he echoed, puzzled cat
least, | hope you won't find it an
unpleasant one, Miss"
THAT remains to be seen, sir.
One hardly knows you yet; you're
here-on suspicion. But if you're
always as nice as you Well, we
shall see."

CHAPTER III.
Continued

Her lips opened as though she
would speak. They fascinated
! Rand; he could not keep his eyes
from them. They were scarlet
now-not pale, as when she had
been unconsciOus-and the tender
ness of their curves was a thing
unbelievable.
Followed a little, awkward 81
, lence. The impulsive words died on
theh girls lip; Rand saw them
close, and then his gaze was
drawn magnetically to her eyes;
she was bending upon him a look
searching and inscrutable.
You expected to lose key" he
repeated, uneasily.
NO" she replied. But | don't
want TON time of drouth. These
are the water Keys, you know"
Rand didn't know; he failed to
understand in the least. But there
were more interesting matters to
engage him. Her throat, for in
stance - the full curved throat,
strong yet delicate, that rose like
a column of light from the turned
babck collar of her waist.

credulously. why do you tell me
that? Col. Rand is a very old man.
I've been told o time and again.

"He-he's gone over to the great
majority. That was five years ago.

She shook her head. "I--I'm sor-
ry," she said; very sorry, Mr..
Rand"
But you didn't know? Oh, nat
urally, Wheelock wouldn't tell"
Rand laughed unpleasantly. do
you know Wheelock?"
''We are not so many here in the
Nampa valley. Mr.. Rand, that one
can avoid knowing all ones neigh
bors."
The evasive reply troubled Rand.
Why had she put it that way? He
6crutinized her face, but found it
emotionless as that of the Sphinx.
"You do know him, them" he per-
sisted.

Thank you, sir, III have it at

present, I'm afraid we'd better go
on"
Rand took up the discarded sad
die and put his hand on the bride
/, of the cayuse. The little procession
began to move silently down the
moon-fiecked road. The night, too,
was very still-as nights are in the
heart of the desert. The soft pad
pad of the ponys hoofs and the
shuttle of Rand's feet through the
deep dust were at times the only
sounds, but occasionally the keys
clinked at the girls belt, and once
a distant coyote howled forth the
burden Of his sorrow laden soul.
Rand fell into deep meditation,
watching his shadow shifting
through the cloud of impalpable
dust that rose about his feet. In the
end he raised his head as if star
tied.
How much further?" he asked,
peremptorily.

tradicted, impolitely. But you

He looked over his shoulder, into
her face. She endured the inspec-
ton with imperturbable serenity.
Il won't" she agreed, calmly.
"Then you do know!"
Possibly. Possibly am not

A trim that representatives of The
Enquirer made from Yorkville to Og-
den today, disclosed that there had
been good rains all along the route yes
terday.
Mr.. C. C. Hughes calls our attention
to the fact that at New Zion the other
day he did not say that there was not
a single mile of good road in York
county. What he did say was that
the chaingang had been at work for
sixteen years, and If there were as much
as sixteen miles of good roads In York
county he had been unable to find 1t.
MIR. A. F. Ashe of Bethesda township,
informed The Enquirer that he has
lust lost a mule that was thirty-sey-
en- years old. Mr.. Ashe bought the
mule thirty-three years ago from Mr..
Joe Moss, and knows that at that time
the animal was four years old. Dur
ing these years, the mule was never
sick and was regularly worked up to
three years ago. This is the Oldest
mule Of which we have any record,
and she was not a gray mule either.
Every man who expects to vote In
the Democratic primary must sec to 1t
that his name is on his precinct club
roll at least five days before the pri-
mary election. The primary electior
this year occurs on August 25, and the
enrolment must be on or before Au-
gust 20. 1t is a very good idea not to
assume that because your name was
on the club roll two years ago, 1t Is
there now. The best thing to do Is to
see the precinct secretary and be sure
that he puts your name down.
Today's paper gets to most of our
subscribers at the same time at which
they have been accustomed to get 1t;
bat with many the paper will be late,
and here is the explanation. The pa
per has been held back for several
hours after the accustomed hour OF 60
ing to press in order that we might
give an account of today's campaign
meeting Ogden, the place Of the OPP
ening meeting is thirteen miles south
east of Yorkville, and is to be reached
from this place only by private con-
veyance. Representatives Of the pa
per left for there this morning and re-
manned until they had heard the
speeches of the Legislative candidates.
We regret very much the necessity Of
holding the paper back beyond the
regular hour of going to press; but
assuming that many Of our readers
would like to get the particulars about
the opening meeting Of the campaign
as quickly as possible, and there being
no other way for it, we have seen
proper to resort to the eXpedient to
which we have just referred.

THE daily papers are printing anoth-
er letter from Senator Tillman. 1t was
dictated to DR.. Babcock and dated Ge-
neva, July 10. The greater part of
this letter is taken up in a description
of the beauty and grandeur Of what is
still to be seen of ancient civilization
in Italy, and winds up with a few
comments on the immigration question
as follows:
Having myself been very pronounc-
ed in expressing the idea that Italians
were undesirable migrants for South
Carolina a sense of justice cOmpels me
to say that having watched the people
of Italy with that very question in view
l still feel that the people of Naples
and those of southern Italy whom
saw at Salerum and Postum are not
the type we would like to have. From
Rome nOrthward the impression made
on me is entirely favorable and l fee,
sure that if we could get any OF the
northern Italians into the southern
states they would make good citizens
and help in every way to assist the
white race is solving the race problem.
Our Investigations show that most of
these who leave home go to South
America, especially to the Argentine
republic, while We also learned that
there is a strong retluX current of
those who have come to the United
States, both ships on which we travel
ed having their full compliments of
twelve hundred each returning home.
Good and bad alike, they all love Italy.
