CAUGHT ON THE WING

Clothier Nelson enjoys Il joke
on him self as well as on others.
One day last week Mr.. Nelson
Was down at OrlonvilIe, and was
returning on the six O'Clock
passenger. Finding ea'~ ia the
front coaches filed he wendell
his way to the rear car and sat
down in a seat with ii gentleman,
! whom ne thought he knew. Ia
this he was mistaken, and the
conversation turned to hunting.
After telling of this and that,
Mr.. Nelson asked his new &C.
quaintance, what line of business
he Travelled for. ''Oh,' replied
the man, II AN not a travelling
salesman, ! Am in the clothing
business at Miibank This was
enough for Mr.. Nelson who re.
marked-"Mr. Hinckley, | be
lieve,' and, well, Mr. Nelson

"REMINISCENCES OF AN Old TIMER
The Sqnatter
By |. G.. A.

All along the border of the
reservation we're people gath
cred ready to make a dash for a
homestead. Special police were
stationed along the line for the
purp Sc of keeping the too eager
ones back until the signal gun
was fred. People were on
horse back, in buggies, wagons,
on foot aud IN all conditions.
Each was armed with a spade
ready to make the improve
ments necessary to hold his
claim. If it could be proven
that the improvements were
made before the filing at the U.
S. land office the squatter held
his claim. II was amusing to
hear how horses which were
never known to make a mile in
less than ten minutes made as
many miles in that time.
Now it is noon and the signal
gun is fired. Away dash the
eager land seekers. Let US
watch a few Of these daring rid
ers. Here is Miss Minnie Grin
er on an old farm horse. Near
her is a city chap On a running
horse. Miss Grlner and the
city chap have their hearts set
on the same piece Of land. Now
they are off over hog wallows
aud gopher knolIs. Miss Grimer
knows her way well, for hasn't
she ridden oyer the land many
times for stray cattle? In jump
ing IL ditch her horse falls and
she is thrown, but is up and on
once more. She has reached
her goal and has the improve.
ments made by the time the city
chap with his fast horse comes
in sight.
Another successful squatter is
sometimes called the jewelry
. man. He doesn't know the
country very we'll aud is on foot.
On his wanderings he passes by
farm houses where the farmers
wife has hung out the washing
on the line. He takes a sheet
thinking it might come in handy
and keeps on travelling until he
comes near the Sioux River. He
finds a piece OF unoccupied laud
and proceeds to stake his she ;,
over a couple OF hog wallows

WHAT Will THE popuLrsrs Dor

The Populists have nominated Hon.
Thomas E. Watson as their candidate
for President. The convention at
which his name was pinned to the
masthead, was conspicuous for the
bolt of the Nebraska delegates be-
cause they wanted Bryan nominated,
and by the bolt of the Minnesota del
egation because they wanted the
convention to wait to see what was
going to happen to Bryan at Denver.
If Watson accepts,-and it it gener-
ALLY 6SAceded that he Wilt means
it is improbable that he will try to
ride in the Democratic wagon in
Georgia at the coming primary 1t
is sure that he is not for Gov. Smith,
and it is hardly likely that he will
publicly declare for Joe Brown.
All Of which tends to complicate the
situation in Georgia, where the Popu-
lists have for the last few years been
voting with the Democrats, on invita-
ton, it might be added. Whether they
will vote in the coming Democratic
primary and decide later as to their
real allegiance, or will remain out
side altogether, is the question.
1t is reasonably sure the Populists
of Georgia viii follow the lead, al
most unanimously, Of Tom Watson in
opposing Gov Smith. This would cut
off perhaps 10000 from the last
Smith vote, leaving him with a bare
majority over his four opponents at
the last primary. With the decima-
ton in his ranks from other sources,
the Governor will be hard pressed
to hold his own. His only chance is
to round up some of those who voted
for his opponents at the last primary.
The detection of the PopuIists car
ries away his majority. Can he hold
his former supporters in line? And
will Joe Brown be able to corral the
bulk of those who voted for Howell,
EstiII, Russell and James Smith? Upon
the answer to these two questions, the
GovernorshiD next time depends

DEPORTING ANARCHISTS

At last it seems as if the United
States officials have awakened to the
necessity of depOrting every anar-
chist possible Wholesale arrests
have been made in New York, the an
archists being taken to Ellis Island.
All who cannot prove their right to
be in this country will be deported 1t
is likely that a large percentage of
the reds" will be found to have come
to this country contrary to the laws
provided for such cases.
The recent bomb outrage in New
York, when the police had a narrow
escape from slaughter, and when the
bomb thrower and his companion were
killed, has aroused the secret SER
vice men to the necessity of taking
prompt steps. But for the good for
tune of the premature explosion of
the bomb the result would have been
probably a frightful one
1t is high time that effective meas
ureS were taken to rid this country
of the Tiff-raff of other countries. It's
a fine sentiment to talk about being
an asylum for the oppressed of other
countries, but we are learning that
in many cases the alleged oppression
is such as a criminal finds when kept
in jail or under police surveillance.
1t is not to be expected that such
class of men would find any coun-
try a bed of roses.
By the deportation or execution of
the ringleaders, the present anarchist
propaganda, which has reached an
ALARMING proportion, will be stamped
out. The anarchist leaders are no
doubt themselves amazed at the IL
cense which has been for so long al
lowed them in spreading their treason
against law and order Many of their
dupes are ignorant foreigners who
cannot distinguish between intelligent
liberty and free license, and though
they are a menace by reason of that
very fact, are not so much to blame
as Emma Goldman, of Chicago, or
Alexander Berkman, of New York, for
instance
Too long has the viper of anarchy,
imported from foreign shores, been
permitted to shoot out it's red fangs,
carrying destruction and death There
is no just reason for the Existence of
anarchists in this country, where the
will of the people is law. There is
no car to rob and Cypress. No
strings are tied to those who desire
to leave. Property and person are
protected and for those who desire
to behave themselves there is oppor-
| tunity for fullest achievement.
Anarchy is a noxious weed, the
growth of far different conditions
1t is out of place in this country Sc

HAZING In COLLEGE

Hazing in colleges and it's extent is
comparatively little known to the
world at large If it were so public
opinion would likely take the matter
in hand, and suppress it.
Scarcely a school year passes that
the newspapers are not called on to
chronicle the killing or Gripping for
life of some student as the result OF
hazing. A mighty protest is raised,
but public sentiment goes to sleep
until the next alarm goes off.
College boys have an exaggerated
idea of their own Importance, and
imagine they are a kind of law unto
themselves. In times past the facul-
ty was supposed to run the school,
but in these latter days the students
often take it upon themselves to
strike" when the faculty takes action
displeasing to the majority. Out in
the busy world the folly of such con-
duct is apparent, but the white light
of publicity does not play on the
school room.
The latest strike of the kind nam
ed is among the students of the New
York University, the cause being the
suspension of a student who directed
the "ducking" in tsough Of a fresh
man. The offense of the student was
that he did not permit the upper
cIassmen to play tricks on him. Once
he drew a revolver, and on another
occasion he fed into the Chancellor's
office for protection. Later on they
got the student alone and ducked
him.
The charges against the freshman,
as formulated by the upper classmen,
were as follows:
1. Would not rub down the mem
bers of the varsity teams, as all
good freshmen are supposed to do.
2 Wore violet colored ties, same
being the college color, and a privi-
Iege no freshman is allowed.
g. Sat on the steps of the library
where no "freshies" are supposed to
rest.
One of the objects of a college
course is to teach the students obed-
fence to discipline. If they are to
run the school, rather than the facul-
ty, schools will be schools no longer
Ac an evidence that dispiOIiDe iS
just what is needed in so many col
leges, the incident in the institution
bears eloquent witness.
That new students should have
to be subject to any such foOlishness
by their fellows who arrogate spe-
cial privileges to themselves, is out
rageous and absurd. 1t sounds like
the antics of children

The Atlanta Journal, the organ of
the administration, is almost frantic
in its call for the observance of pre-
cedent" in electing its Governor for
the second term. The paper points
out that the rule is unbroken. The
Smith faction is badly scared and is
calling up every reserve force to
force their man through. We are
ready to admit that it is not at all
complimentary to an administration
when the people will not stand for a
second term for the Governor.
