WORKING FOR GLENWooD

Postmaster Thorson is leaving no
stone untumed to give Glenwood bet
ter mail service than in years past.
Not only has he worked until the gov
crument allowed extra clerks and as
81 4tants, but the placing of might

business men of the city.
During the past few weeks he has
hcen working for a rural free delivery
route out of Glenwood down Grand
river and every thing indicates that
his efforts along that line will be sue
cessful. While he is doing this for

PULLMAN TRAVELLERS

According to Golfers, the number
of Pullman ear riders in this country
was 5000, 900 in 1899; and they paid
total of 4lO,OOO,0OO as the price. In
1905. when people were complaining of
hard times and scarcity of money, there
We're 10000 riders, at n cost of
$50 900. 900. This would indicate that
Golfers is right when it says that ga
good deal of what is called increased
cost of living in this country is really
increased demand for Injuries.
One reason assigned by many people
for the great increase in Pullman ira
vel is found in the number Of wrecks
and the condition in which the day
coachea. tourist cars and chair ears
come out of the mixup. In nearly
every ease, the Pullman ears come out
in fairly good shape and the dcath list

USE OF PROFANITY

Hardly day, but people walking
along Grand avenue or other streets
in Gllnwood. can hear foul oaths fall
ing from the lips of boys of eight or
ten years. Occasionally a man may
be heard to let out a string that would
put to shame the inventor of profanity.
Perhaps the parents. OF these boy
have no knowledge that their sons are
squirting tobacco juice and using pro
family, but something should be done
to stop the evil, for as the boy grows,
the habit may become stronger and the
time may come when he cannot over
come it and will be heralded a7 the
foulest man in Glonwood as are some
of the men today.
Such language is degrading, and if
men, who use profanity, would sit down
and copy their last vulgar oath on
paper, we believe they would feel the
blush of shame creeping over their
faces. just try it and see what the
effect really is.
There is man in Halifax, Nova
Scotia, named George Wright, who for
two or three years has been mailing
circular letters to American and Can
adian newspapers asking their co
operation in a crusade against the use
of vulgar and profane language. We
do not know how much success has
attended Mr.. Wright's efforts. but
Judging from the number of editorial
comments on the subject that have
come to our notice he at least has made
an impression. In his latest letter he
says:
Blasphemous and other degrading
language has become very common of
late, not only among the lower classes,
but also among those in the higher
walks of life, which seems almost in
credible, seeing that such habit as
profanity answers no good purpose
and can only be an indication that the
people who do so are naturally inclin
ed to fall into low and degrading hab,
its.
"'The reason of this practice be
coming so epidemic among the boys
can only be traced to the way in which
it has been used by the elders in the
past, but it must be admitted that ow.
ing to the strong opposition that has
heen brought to bear against it by
the pre- S, the church, the Holy Names
Sos iety, etc, it has been greatly les
scned among the men, but / do not
believe the above methods will have
the desired effect among the youths
where the seed of profanity has been
sown. while many of them are SIN
practically ignorant of its evil. 1t
has been stated that the schools might
assist greatly in checking this evil
among the children, but ] do not think
they can accomplish very much with
out its use being discontinued by the
older people and by their parents in
their homes. "

Of the wholesale liquor men had been

The question naturally arises,
"Wherc is ihe hornets nest' or

the democratic council is almost ready
to double cross the people who put
them in Office and at the same time do
little work along the line of making

that such is the case. In the first
place the sporting fincs' are bring
ing in more money each month and Ger
tain rights or concessions must be made

standard.
But the remark of the councilman
would indicate that something siren

che action is taken, there viii be some
warm times in Glenwood with the peo.
pie who elected the democrats last
spring Since the democrats of the

pie of the state, we may expect tho

thing along the same line. Go TO it,

PROTECTING SMALL MINER


That the government in refusing 20
permit one company of men or even
one man to hold large tracts of land
under the guise of mining, is dealing
Justly with the prospector and small
miner is shown by an article ON an
other page of this paper in which the
story of the fight between the govern
ment aud one man, Yard, of California
is told.
We suppose our friend up the stree
will try to twist the article and make
it appear as if Yard is a poor strug-
Cling prospec.or and that the company
mentioned in the article is but y few
widows and orphans, who have locat-
ed a couple of claims in "A section of
California that is worthless for other
purposes than mining. We can ev'n
hear the Avalanche making claims that
thousands of dollars worth of mineral
have been taken from the Yard claims.
But the story as given by the Post is
correct and instead of the government
standing idly by and watching Yard
ct al gobble up some 100000 acres of
good timber land. we find Uncle Sam
dealing death blows to q corporation
that will fight the forests reserve po-
licv TO the last ditch. 1t is just such
men, who are today making the most
noise regarding the reserve system.
They want the world and do not want
to pay the state or government any
tax for what they hold. They are
grasping everything in sight and be
cause few men have called halt
and demand for everyone a square deal
and share of our country, they belly
ache around and try to convince peo-
pie that they are being wronged by
the government, when as n matter Of
fact they are being stopped from
wrouging homebuilders and people who
seek honestly to develop the country.
The Company had everything its
own way and was all but ready to reap
rich harvest from the timber on the
I
10000 acres of non mineral land, but
Uncle Sam stepped in just in time and
the whole country viii derive the bene-
fits instead of Yard and a few others.
We have a case in mind in this state
where number of acres of land are
being held under the pretense that
placer mining is paying proposition,
but facts will show thai not twenty
dollars worth of gold have been taken
from the eighty or one hundred acres
in the past twcnty years, yet the man
that is today holding that land claims
it as placer ground. 1t is also true
that this man is being allowed to con
tinue to live on the land simply be
cause he is old and Uncle Sam does
not care to disturb him. He has taken
care of the trees around his little cabin
and will continue to do so. but for
anyone to claim that it is mineral land,
at least placer ground, is folly and
will not back up such claims, Perhaps
the forest department is doing wrong
in keeping silent in this matter, but
we think not, for while the land is
within the forest reserve, the old man
will carefully watch for tree destroy
ers. 1t is claiming as mineral land
that which does not even show a trace
of mineral that forces the government
to take strenuous action Mt times
against land grabbers such as the
California gang.

DETROIT, Mich, Dec.

| DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 10
Already they are preparing for the
annual tournament of the Ameri-
man Bowling congress, scheduled
to take place in this city Feb. 26
to March Is, inclusive. The man.
ner in which the hustlers have
started augurs well for record
breaking tourney.
The tenth annual blowout of
the A. B. G. promises to break
more than one record. The mar
velous growth of the game, as in
dictated by past congresses, prom
Uses to continue, and new high
marks for entries, prize money
and attendance are expected.
Detroit tried to cop the 1909
tournament, but Pittsburg won
out. Disappointed, the Wolver-
ines started over again, and are
now determined to show that the
congress at last decided wisely.
Certainly, if preliminary prep
arations are worth anything, the
1910 tournament will eclipse its
predecessors. One thing is sure,
and that is no tournament was
ever held in building SO well
adapted to the purpose as the
Wayne gardens, where it is pro-
posed to put on the 1910 show.
Although not the intention of
the operating company to permit
women to roll upon the tourna-
ment alleys, it has, been suggested
that they roll upon the alleys
downstairs, and tournament for
them may be put on.
I'D like to see Mrs. Mae But
lterworth of WATERFOWL, N. Y,
meet Mrs. Gertrude Hull, and
some of the other noted bowlers, +"
said Secretary Meyers. "I'll guar
antee to get cup emblematic of
the championship of the United
States for them, and 1 am sure
such match would attract atten-
ltion
The first entry has been re-
ceived. 1t came from the Old
Dutch team of Louisville, KY.
and took in everything from soup
to nuts. One five-man team,
three doubles and six individuals
entered, and the money is up.
| One point which will attract
the bowlers is that every five man
team will shoot at new pins. The
contract given by the tournament
company calls for 400 sets of Off
ilcial A. B. C. pins. Heretofore pins
have been changed daily, but the
decision to make every team use
new pins will equalize things as
never before.
When the five men teams are
through with a set of pins, they
will be used by the two-men
teams, and later by the individ-
luals. Thus no team will have an
advantage by reason of shooting
at pins which have been subjected
to an all-day bombardment, which
is apt to make them fall easier.
