STANDS GOOD SHOW
OF BREAKING IN AGAIN.

Vt 6HE<NiN1 IN
c. l.. Martin was arrested by Mar
shall Sigman this morning, and turn
ed over to Deputy Sheriff James Stir
ling. charged with a theft from DR..
Stevens residence yesterday evening.
The man walked into DR.. Stevens Of.
fee and when that gentleman's back
was turned went into his living room,
taking the clock and later selling 4.
to a secondhand man. Martin was re.
leased from the penitentiary at Raw
Inns August 16, after serving fifteen
months for grand larceny from Lara
ME county. He forfeited his good
time by some %infraction of the prison
rules, but was later given thirty days
by the state board of pardons. He is
more than likely to break into prison
again, as the entering of a dwelling
for the purpose of robbery becomes a
felony without regard to the value OF
the article stolen. The clock was re.
covered.

alive and constructive legislation for
the social and economic benefit Of our
people which has been accomplished
by the congress during the last seven
years.
The irrigation Law.
THE law establishing a national
system of irrigation was of vital i'm
p~ortance, and stands in its line as Sec
ond only to the homestead law. The
Interstate commerce law has been
amended SO as to make 1t a new law,
with three-fold the efficiency of the old
law. The enactment of the pure food
law was of almost or quite equal i'm
portance.
Some Notable Enactments.
1.-THE creation of the department of
commerce and labor, together with the
creation of a bureau of corporations,
which marks the beginning of federal
control over the huge corporations do
ing an interstate business, the employ
ers liability law, the safety appliance
law, the law limiting the working
hours of railway employees, the meat
inspection law, the denatured alcohol
law, the anti-rebate law, the laws in
~creasing the powers of the department
of justice in dealing with those, re-
gardless of wealth and power, who in
tract the law, the law making the gov
eminent liable for injuries to its en-
ployes, the laws under which the Pan
anna canal was acquired and Is being
built, the Philippines administered,
and the navy developed, the laws ere
ating a permanent census bureau and
Reforming the consular service and the
system of naturalization, the law for

: the great appropriations for the de
velopment of agriculture, the legal pro
hibition Of campaign contributions
from corporations-all these represent
but a portion of what has been done
by congress, and form a record Of sub

harmony with the best and most pro
