THIS REFORM BUSINESS.

The latest frantic foray in the fight to beat Senator
him. AS the stuff is fed to the officers they have
slandered and their bright shields furnished terribly by
the savage senator dealer in cabbage bravey rushes
their
OF course, Mayor Moore head of the administration
upon which the heads of the police department depend
could have nothing to do with the fury of the offended
force-f any Of it be offended
The police department affords handy buffer for the
administration for it at the administration that Sen
aor Hutchinson remarks aimed. And every police
man on the beat understands.
AS regards the vice problem this city is and has
been for months in than usually lamentabe con-
dition.
The administration has said to class of moral law
violators: "You may remain unmoested." Another it
has banshed from their hauns to other haunts most of
them not outside the city, Every hour of the day these
people exposed to backna in the of the law if
you please.
The statement of a species of CRATER that he the

Under such conditions what might not genuine officer
do he disposed to demand tribute? The harvest is
right under his hand.
How these fine lines drawn between those whom the
world calls all evil?
Why that the luxurious and most aurng places of
vice are immune to this reform we hear much of?
And not all of them in what is called clover How

Also why is it that handsomely furnished gambling
joint that yields immense profit has been permitted
operate undsturbed in the heart Of the city?
And there several others of similar character but
lesser magnitude, yet a 'crap game' in alley five
cent poker game is justification for police raid
The Press not attempting to discount anything in the
line of cleaner conditions but it objects to working the
political sympathies of upright but uniformed people by
pretension to virtue that does not exist.
The only real reform progress made in this city is the
Sunday closing of saloons.
Mayor Moore and his officers had to be driven into that
action They discouraged the movement in every way.
The mayors chief of police put the entire burden of
ing proof the citizens who undertook the work The
court proceedings made farcical possible and
only when it became apparent that the Sunday cosers

made between the liquor interests and city officials and
they agreed to obey the law.
Yet reform is of the administration achievements
cited to add force to Mayor Moores endorsement of the
Federated club favorite.
The city better and cleaner because is filling up with
better and cleaner class of people than the transient
vistations of the past

come to his bakery shop. To each
child as he walked down the street
the old baker said, well, my child,
can you come to my bakery at 4
o'clock"
At A o'clock a large crowd had
gathered. The children felt sure
he had some pleasant surprise for
them. They were not disappointed,
for there was a large basket filled
with nice, fresh loaves of bread.
How the children pushed and
scrambled for them!
Among the crowd was a little
girl. She was SO small that she
did not wish to scramble into the
crowd, but stood quietly aside. At
ter the children had each snatched
loaf and ran gleefully away she
stepped up to the basket and took
the last loaf. 1t was very small.
She thanked the baker and ran
home with it. When she cut it
out fell a brand new gold piece.
Thinking there had been a mistake
she ran back to tell the baker.
NO" said the baker, there is
no mistake. l put it into the small
est loaf. 1t is yours"

There's a finish fight on the cal
endar, and the police can't do any
thing. In fact. there's a deadline
drawn around it, over which no po-
lice may venture.
The old champ, Shirtwaist, is to
defend the title against the ambi-
tious newcomer, High Girdle.
Shirtwaist has had the belt hang
ing up in the wardrobe so long that
now it would choke her to death if
she'd try to wear it. She's stiff
and over weight. Still, she is con-
fident that she can get back into
trim to put up the scrap of her life.
That's what they always say.
High Girdle is a dangerous oppo-
nent.
Coming almost unheralded, High
Girdle proves to be the sensation
of the pattern world. She was CIV
en- secret tryout at the Modistes
Athletic club, pronounced fit, and
then sprung as the logical wallop
producer. High Girdle is touted to
crowd old Shirtwaist off the map.
Ladies who have looked over
High Girdle declare she will carry
all their money. Dress bugs gen.
orally decide she has the goods.

A MANS USUAL LUCK.


The man who has made his wife
the financial manager of the fam
lily turning his wages over to her
every Saturday night, will find his
way harder than the transgressor's
if he tries to fool her, as did a GER
tain linotype operator-by heck, he
may be setting this very line.
This man engaged for some time
in the process known as holding
out" That is, instead of giving
his wife all the money coming to
her under the family bylaws, he
withheld some.
Finally the "hold out" reached
$45, and in locking for a hiding
place he found that one of the legs
of the kitchen table did not fit
snugly up against the table top,
but that there was a space large
enough to hold the bills which he
slipped into that place.
Returning from work the next
evening, he left his lunch basket
on the kitchen table. His wife,, en-

and other perfumed pinks are
boosting her for fair.
From the Shirtwaist camp comes
a grim noise like silence. Some
pretty road work is being done by
Shirtwaist. She has quite large
following. This following Is hang
over from last season, as it eyre.
She still looks good, for instance,
to the bush league dressmakers,
and the fashion fans who watn to
get some wear out of their 1908
wardrobe. Also, the suffraget con-
tingent is still loyal.
They will meet at catch weights.
A large purse will be hung up
dads, of course. Then there are
the picture rights. Whichever
wins, the pictures will be featured
as headliners on all the cover
pages for the season.
There's no question that Shirt
waist has the stamina and ring ex.
perience. But can she make the
weight? High Girdle has the
reach and all the advantage of
youth.
AS for betting-make your own
book. It's no cinch either way.

The announcement OF the making
OF this big contract. here made pub
lie for the first time. will arouse
much interest. If the Grand valley
ranchman with 24O acres of orchard
sees the necessity of providing for
every acre of his orchard, surely the
man with 5 or 10 acres can realize
the necessity just as plainly.
The contract which Mr.. Cross has
made with Messrs. Plank & Fulghum
provides for the furnishing of a COM
plete smudging outfit. including the
pots, storage tanks, wagon tanks, oil
pumps. etc. and all are to be of the
very best grade. Mr.. Cross, it is re-
ported. has placed his orders for large
quantities of smudging oil. Mr.. Full
ghum will superintend. personally,
the installation of the big smudging
outfit.
Mr. Cross is determined to leave
nothing undone toward providing
protection for his crop should the
necessity of lighting frost arise this
spring 1t is a big undertaking to
arrange for smudging a great Or
chard of 240 acres; but, when the
arrangements are once completed,
the actual smudging work will be
carried out in a comparatively easy
manner.
More than 10000 heaters will be
used by Mr.. Cross.
