Another Obsolete Law.

The Brattleboro Reformer very
invites attention to the fact
that, if the Sunday blue-law is to be
enforced in that community, then the
law against profane swearing be en-
forced, also The Reformer is right.
A number of years ago, in fact, 1t
was in 1902, Eli II. Porter, of VIII
mington, introduced House Bill No.
203 to repeal the law furnishing
blasphemy. The law reads:
"A person having arrived at years
of discretion who profanely curses or
swears shall be fined not more than
$5 and not less than 81, II prosecution
is commenced within twenty days af-
ter the commission of such offense. "
Mr. Porter's bill did not pass the
house. Few people expected that II
would And yet probably not one
man that voted to keep this ancient
blue-law on the statute books OF Yer
mont had the moral courage to &c
right out of the capitol and complain
to a magistrate of the first man he
heard swearing after he left his sea-
when the ballot was over! Wha
man that reads these lines has thu
courage to prosecute his friends anC
neighbors for their everyday swear
ing? Think what a collection baseC
upon five dollars a damn could b.
raised for the state of Vermont l
every mothers son of us that hai
taken the freeman's oath and sworl
to support the laws actually did on
honest duty by this statute!
That law like every other, shoul'
be enforced or repealed. If 1t is no
enforced but still permitted to sta,
on the statute books 1t is nothing
more or less than lie and reproacl
to us. And we know it. Yet, whel
the legislature meets this fall, tn
first serious proposal to repeal thi
hypocritical dead letter, this ancien
offense to our honest self-respect, will
be denounced by some of the brethren
as an attack upon Christianity ant
morals and all that kind of thing.

Here's a small boys essay on news
papers. He ought to make a good ed
itor when he grows up:
Newspapers are sheets OF paper
on which stuff to read is printed. The
men look II over and see their names
in it, don't think God does. The
Bible says nothing about editors, and
| never heard of one being in heaven.
The first editor ] heard OF was fell
low who wrote up the flood. He has
been here ever since. Some editors
belong to the church and some try to
raise whiskers All of them raise Cain
in their neighborhood. Sometimes
the paper dies and then people feel
glad, but some one starts II up again
Editors never went to school be
cause editors don't get licked. Our
paper is mighty poor one but We
take it so ma can use II on her pantry
shelves. Our editor don't amount tC
much but pa says he had a poor
chance when a boy He goes with
out underclothes in winter wears nj
socks and has wife to support him
Pa has not paid his subscription II
five years, and don't intend to.'-At

Why No Railroad Legislation?

For ten years the interstate commerce commission has been asking for an en- largement of it's powers, that it might prevent rebates and determinations, but a republican Senate and a republican House of Representatives were unmoved by it's entreaties. In 1900 the republican national convention was urged to indorse the demand for railway legislation, but it's platform was silent on the subject. Even in 1904 the convention gave no pledge to remedy these abuses. When the President finally asked for legisla- ton he drew his inspiration from three democratic national platforms and he re- ceived more cordial support from the dem ocrats than from the republicans. The republicans in the Senate deliberately de- feated several amendments offered by Senator Lafollette and supported by the emocrats-amendments embodying legis- lation asked by the interstate commerce commission One of these amendments authorized the ascertainment of the value of railroads. This amendment was not only defeated by the Senate. but 1t was overwhelmingly rejected by the recent republican national convention and the republican candidate has sought to rescue his party from the disastrous results or this act by expressing himself, in quali- fled way, in favor of ascertaining the value of the railroads
 Over-Issue of Stocks and Bonds.
 MT. Taft complains of the over-issue of stocks and bonds of railroads, TOT the unlawful enriching of directors ana for the purpose of concentrating the con trol of the railroads under one manage ment," and the complaint is well found- ed. But, with a President to point out the evil. and a republican Congress to correct it, we find nothing done for the protection of the public. Why? My ] honorable opponent has. by his con1es-

Popular Election of Senators.

Next to the corrupt use of money, the present method of electing United States
 Senators is most responsible for the de-
 struction of reforms. For one hundred
 years after the adoption of the constitu-
 tion the demand for the popular election
 of Senators, while finding increased ex-
 pression, did not become a dominant sen timent. A constitutional amendment had
 from time to time been suggested and
 the matter had been more or less dis
 cussed in a few of the states. but the movement had not reached a point where it manifested itself through congressional
 action In the Flfty-second Congress,
 however, a resolution was reported from
 House committee proposing the neces-
 sary constitutional amendment, and this
 resolution passed the House of Repre-
 sentatives by a vote which was prac-
 tically unanimous. In the Fifty-third
 Congress a similar resolution was re-
 ported to and adopted by the House Of
 Representatives. Both the Fifty-second
 and Fifty-third Congresses were demo- cratic. The republicans gained control of
 the House as a result of the election Of 1894, and in the Fifty-fourth Congress the proposition died in committee. As time went on. however, the sentiment grew among the people, until it forced re- publican Congress to follow the example set by the democrats, and then another and another republican Congress acted favorably. State after state has inoorseo this reform, and nearly two-thirds or the states have recorded themselves in its favor. The United States Sonata now

Democratic Party Has Earned Conf
 dence.

If the voters are satisfied with the rec ord of the republican party and with Its management of public affairs we cannot reasonably ask for a change in adminis- tration; if, however, the voters feel that the people, as a whole, have too little in fiuence in shaping the policies of the gov ernment; if they feel that great combina- tions of capital have encroached upon the rights of the masses, and employed the instrumentalites of government to se- cure an unfair share of the total wealth produced, then we have a right to expect a verdict against the republican party and in favor of the democratic party; for our party has risked defeat--aye, suffered de- feat in its effort to arouse the conscience of the public and to bring about that very awakening to which MT. Tart has re- ferred.
 Only those are worthy to be entrusted with leadership in a great cause who are willing to die for it, and the democratic party has proven it's worthiness by its re- fusal to purchase victory by delivering the people into the hands of those who have despoiled them. In this contest be-

Republican Challen9e AcCePteos
 The distinguished statesman who re- ceived the republican nomination for Pres ident said in his notification speech: "The strength of the republican cause in the campaign at hand is the fact that we represent the policies essential to the re- form of known abuses, to the continuance of liberty and true prosperity, and that we are determined as our platform un- eouivocally declares, to maintain them and carry them on."
 In the name of the democratic party, accept the challenge, and charge that the republican party is responsible for all the abuses which now exist in the federal government and that 1t Is impotent to accomplish the reforms which are im- peratively needed. Further. I cannot con- cur in the statement that the republican platform unequivocally declares for the reforms that are necessary; on the con- trary I affirm that it openly and notori- ouslv disappoints the hopes and expecta- tions of reformers, whether those reform CTS he republicans or democrats. So far did the republican convention Tall snort of it's duty that the republican candidate felt 1t necessary to add to his platform in several important particulars, thus re- bulking the leaders of the party, upon whose cooperation he must rely for the enactment of remedial legislation. shall in separate speeches discuss the leading questions at issue.

new Land OFFICE
BLANK nj! FOR SALE
OF ISOLATED LANDS

Another change has been made by
the land department in the manner
of making application for sale of iso-
lated or disconnected tracts o fland.
Until the goth inst. parties making ap-
plication to have isolated tracts ad-
vertised and sold were obliged to ap-
pear in person with two witnesses
before the U. S. land Office. Now this
is changed and parties may appear
before the nearest officer having seal
and authorized to administer oaths
in the county or land district in
which the tracts described in the ap-
plications are situated.
The Bismarck Tribune has just put
in stock of the blanks required in
making application for sale of isolat-
ed tracts mo. 643) printed as re-
CURED by the government-corre
as to size, type, form, spacing, etc
the price, 35c per dozen.
AS there will be many applications
made hereafter, all lawyers, clerks Of
court, U. s. commissioners and others
engaged in land Office practice will
need quantity and the right kind
which can be had of the Bismarck
Tribune.
