REVIVE LOCAL 0P-
TON FIGHT
THE SPECIAL SESSION OF THE
LEGISLATURE MAY SEE SOME
SPECTACULAR STUNTS IN THE
WAY OF LAW-MAKING.

Olympia, June 4.-When the spe-
cial session of the legislature, just
called by Governor Hay, meets here
on June %, it is expected that it will
mark the beginning of one of the
liveliest meetings of the peoples law
makers ever held in the state. This
is indicated in various ways. While
the legislators are called together
primarily for the purpose of impeach-
ing Insurance Commissioner Schive-
ly many questions that haye kept the
pot boiling in state politics for some
time will come up for settlement.
For instance, repeal of the local op-
ton law will be proposed. it is said,
and similar action may be taken on
the new criminal code. No one who
is familiar with the situation doubts
that two steps such as these will Gre
ate enough trouble to supply ten
ordinary legislative sessions.
Then, again, it is expected that
Governor Hay will try to slip through
his constitutional amendment pro-
viding that all state elective officers
shall be abolished and filled by men
by the chief executive.
1t is well known that the liquor
interests have for some time been
working several kinds of schemes to
win their fight against local option
at the special session, which has been
looked forward to for the past few
weeks. The school authorities will
also be on hand in their war paint
to protest against several sections of
the new school code.

DOG A RANDOM HERO.
Saves Life of Utter Stranger and
:. Then Runs Away.

Chester, Pa. June 4.-His at
tention attracted by the queer antics
lof a dog racing up and down the
tracks of the Reading railway be-
tween this city and Eddystone this
morning, William Peet Of Chester fol-
lowed the animal, which was barking
and whining piteously by turns. The
dog led him to quagmire a couple
gof hundred yards from the railroad
tracks, where he found Harry Nor
rison of this city stuck in theI mud
up to his armpits and gradually sink
ing.
Morrison was rescued by Peet and
a couple of men who were hailed by
the rescuer, dragged to the top of
the bank and the mud scraped from
his clothing. 1t was an hour before
Morrison could tell his rescuers that
he attempted to cross the bog for a
shortcut to Eddystone, missed his
footing and went down in the mire.
He shouted for help until he was I'M
able to speak and would have been
buried alive had it not been for the
dogs efforts in his behalf.

Turn Men Back to the Land.


If the prices of stocks in the Wall
street exchange could be taken as a
true indication, the country might be
reported as highly prosperous. Some
stocks are the highest they have been
since 1906 United States Steel
stocks are higher than they have been
in their history. This looks like pros
perity.
If the condition of working men in
the cities were taken as a true in
dication, the country could not be re-
ported as highly prosperous A great
army of workers are busy, but pay
envelopes look mighty flat when the
landlord, the grocery man, the meat
man, the coal man, the doctor AMI
all of the other Saturday callers have
been met And from the larger cities
come the reports of thousands of
men out of work.
Especially is this true of New
OK ana chicago.
New York has a bread line. blocks
long At IA State street, that city,
the National Employment exchange,
which has as it's function the trans
fer of jobless men to manless jobs,
is doing a large business. No fee
is charged for the registration of
persons looking for manual labor,
and for the present no charge is made
upon the employer who gets helpers
through this bureau.
| Some time ago Bolton Hall, the
famous author, organized what he
called the Suburban Farmers asso-
citation. 1t was to turn the tide of
New York's congested millions back
to the land and show them how to
earn a livelihood and rear their chill
dren amid sunshine, wholesome work
ana decent morals The association
secured large tracts of land near
New York city, subdivided them into
small farms and is aiding the COL
onists in preparing the land for res
idence and intense cultivation. EN-
phasis is particularly placed upon
intense cultivation, the idea being to
make horticultural and agricultural
workshop of one or two acres-to
make every foot of that area produce
the maximum result
If labor in the cities is being cheap
ened by an excess of laborers, if the
great tracts of unproductive land in
the west are unproductive only be-
cause the hand of man is missing,
if large areas of arid land can be
made to bloom if man brings water
to them, if cultivated land is wasted
because of lack of knowledge con-
corning intensive cultivation, if all
that is necessary to correct these evils
is to introduce a jobless man to a
manless job, what better business
could the government do, what
greater achievement could the Taft
administration accomplish.
The man who solves the great ques-
ton, and succeeds in turning the
tide back to the land will live in
history.
