Christ Jesus tasted deth for every

If this grand jury business is what
it looks on the surface. an infamous
trick to balk justice, there should be
a lot of trouble ahead for somebody.
We are not advised as to their full
powers in the matter, but it would
seem that the grand jury and Judge
Brown OF the district court have
been trifed with and imposed upon
in manner that at least constitutes
contempt of court. Somebody should
go to Jail. And the circumstances
ought to prove an incentive, if they
are what they appear, TO make the
going as hard as possible for those
who would seem to be responsible for
the job that is indicated. At best
the play looks like a desperate deal,
calling for treatment as such at least
until it is shown to deceive appear
ances. The absenting of himself
from a grand jury at a critical hour
is not performance on the part OF
a juror that can be passed over light
ly. If he had encouragement to alb
sent himself those extending such en-
coura pananf ore tho mora ouiltv al
offense against the community and
should be so dealt with.

Mr.. w. J. Bryan. in the Common
er, continues to lament the fact that
men elected to congress last Novem-
Der will not be sworn in until March
4, next, and may not discharge any
congressional duties until December,
1903, or IS months after their cleo
ton. Mr.. Bryan thinks that in these
months the average congressman will
forget about most of the things he
promised the people to do, and will
not be responsible TO public opin-
ion. Mr.. Bryan is in error. If con-
gress does not get down to work un-
til 10 months after it is elected. the
fact remains that il will meet with
only II months intervening before
another congressional election. The
average congressman forgets about
the election at which he was chosen
the next day and begins To think and
think hard about the next election at
which he will offer. There is moth
ing that makes a congressman so
responsive to public opinion as the
approach of a congressional election,

while the largest loss is that aris-
ing in the impeachment of navigation
and terminal transfers.
The freshets are attended by de-
structive soil erosion. The soil mat
ter annually carried into lower riv-
ers and harbors or into the sea
reaches 1888, 100000 tons Its re-
moval seriously reduces the produc-
tivity of upland farms and increases
channel cutting and bar-building in
the rivers. 1t is estimated that soil
erosion reduces farm production 10
per cent to 20 per cent. and that the
annual loss to the farms alone is
$500. 100000; and that large losses
follow the pollution of the waters
and the diminution of nayigabiity in
the streams.
Through imperfect control of the
running waters, lowlands are tenn
porarily or permanently flooded It
is estimated that there are in main
land United States 100000 to
S0,000,000 acres of overflow and
swamp lands requiring drainage
that by systematic operations these
can be drained at moderate expense;
and that they would then be worth

WHAT WE NEED TO DO.

In considering the uses and bene-
fits TO be derived from the 15,OOO,-
600. 100000 cubic feet of water an
nually received the paramount use
should be that of water supply; next
should follow navigation in humid
regions, and irrigation in arid re-
gions. The development or power on
the navigable and source streams
should be kept subordinate 10 the
primary and secondary uses of the
waters; though other things equal,
the development of power should be
encouraged, not only To reduce the
drain on other resources. but be-
cause properly designed reservoirs
and power plants retard the run-off
and so aid in the control of the
streams for navigation and other
uses.
The broad plan already framed by
statesmen and experts and approved
by the executive should be enacted
into law; it provides for a system OF
waterway Improvement extending to
all of the uses of the waters and
benefits to be derived from their con-
troll, including the Qualification of the
water and the abatement of floods
for the benefit of navigation, the ex-
tension of irrigation, the development
and application of power. the proven

endeavoring to do away with him.
Johnson asserts. as do his patrons.
that he has never asked a cent of
tribute and that all charges in that
respect against him are utterly false.
The same condition of affairs exists
at Smelter, where the charges made
have been against Greeks who have
business places there and whom the
opposition merchants would have out
of the way The entire affair serves
only to draw renewed attention to
the fact that the Greeks have some
troublesome leaders. whose manner
of proceeding can be looked into to
advantage If the law can thereafter
be invoked to the end of Kidding the
community of them.

FINE BILL AT THE BIO.
Big Audiences Give Demonstration of
the Public's Appreciation of
the Show.

Bio Theater is holding the close
attention and enthusiastic interest of
/ big audiences each night with the
new films chat are on the Dill. There
were big audiences last night, and
/ tonight, the last of these films ON
| the program, packed house can be
anticipated Tomorrow night the bill
! changes at the theater and there is
promised a better show than has yet
been among the number of excellent
ones the theater has carried.
On the present bill the first film
on the canvas tells the old story of
the girl. and lover and the villain.
The story opens with a game of cards.
The villain is caught cheating and
when called to task, he feigns indig
nation and calls on the father of the
girl, and. as is always the case, the
lover is ordered from the house. An
elopement is arranged with the girl,
but the villain gets wise and has the
lover shanghaied. When near the
coast of South Africa the lover jumps
overheard and on reaching shore he
falls in with some diamond miners
He soon finds a diamond that makes
him rich. He then returns home to
find that his sweetheart is about to
be married to the villain. He ac-
euses the villain of having had him
shanghaied, and the father orders the
villain from the church This film
is absolutely flawless and comes as
near being true to nature as man
can make it.
Another film which holds close at
tention shows the Paris fire brigade
in action. The alarm is turned in,
then the men DOMINIC their fire fight
ing clothes. In the fraction of a
minute hey are coming down the /
brass poles to the seats on the fire I
engine. The next second sees them I
swinging out of the station and down /
the street to the burning building. /
Here they are seen throwing up their T
scaling ladders, and before they are :
hardly up, the firemen scaling the
side of the building. Before one can
collect his thoughts. a dozen streams
of water are playing on the building. 1
This is one of the most thrilling as
we'll as realistic scenes ever thrown

charges against the ms and have been
reckless of the truth in their cam
paign. At Copper Flat, for instance,
it has been charged that 1 men were
discharged last week because they
failed TO pay tribute to a Greek
storekeeper who has adopted the
name of Johnson. As matter of
fact there has been but one Greek
discharged at Copper Flat in nearly
a month. Johnson was permitted to
open a store on Nevada Consolidated
ground because the Greeks said they
were being overcharged elsewhere
and asked permission TO have a store.
They also asked permission to have
liquor at this store. which was grant
ed with the proviso that none but
Greeks be permitted to drink there.
No charge has been made for the
concession nor have Greeks been
obliged to trade Inere. Johnson,
however. has been getting the busi-

Greeks which formerly went else
