Representative Mann of Illinois
has introduced bill in the Ho use
which can not fail to secure the
hearty support of the entire country.
1t is designed to check the white
slave traffic and there is no differ
ence of opinion according to dis
patches from Washington that it
will accomplish the end desired if
it is passed. The measure provides
that any person who aids, induces
or forces a woman from one state to
another for immoral purposes shall
be liable to a fine of $4,000 or i'm
prisonment for five years. In the
case of girl under eighteen the
fine will be $4,000 and the i'm
prisonment ten years. Representa-
tive Mann has given the white slave
traffic in Chicago serious attention
and believes that his bill will in
great measure check it.

Since his return to this country
Colonel Henry Watterson has been
counselling his fellow Democrats to
talk less and ruminate more. His
idea is that the Democrats in Con-
gress should hide themselves
and watch the Republicans fight
out any other question which arrays
the Organization" against the
insurgents. Mr.. Watterson holds
that the Democratic party is in no
condition to help itself and can
profit only from Republican blund-
ers and discussions. The Waiter
son program may attract many
Democrats because it promises a
surcease from rather proftless &C
tivity.

ly on the problem of tuberculosis,
Newspapers have shown a splendi d
spirit of service by publishing facts
that rouse thoughtful readers from
Indifference into action. Illustrat-
ed lectures and travelling exhibits
have reached more than 100000
people in Wisconsin. So far has
public sentiment been educated
that theatre managers in Wiscon-
sin cities have given a representa-
tive of the state association space
on their program for a ten-minute
illustrated talk on the prevention
of tuberculosis and both managers
and patrons have been pleased with
the results. These are good tokens.
They are signs of public opinion
that will put higher value on hui
man health. Do you think there is
anything more appropriate for the
Christmas time and the Christmas
spirit than these little Christmas
stamps now on sale over the state3
Each of these stamps is sign of
good wish and good will for human
ity. Each of these stamps is a
thought for the sacredness of hui
man health. The Nazarene said
he came to bring the children of
men more abundant life." The
fund that is being raised by these
Christmas stamps means more
abundant life' for humanity.
These are a few of the reasons WHY
we say:
Stick these beautiful little Christ
mas stamps on all the holiday
(holy day. gifts you send. Put
these stamps on your letters and
packages all this month. Tell your
friends about them and get your
friends to use them. Do these
things and the holiday bells will
chime sweeter in your ears and the
fellowship of the holidays will mean
more to you because you have done
good things for humanity.

PLucKINe THE osTRIcHEs.

Yesterday Louis Ellsworth. foreman for the pr. A J. Chandler ranch, was busy plucking the ostriches. This IS an interesting sight to those who are not familiar with the operation. and is fascinating always to persons who have been in this part of the country long enough to know some thing about the ostrich.
 There are now 130 grown birds on the. farm. and they are all in perfect condition. They are in fields which are thoroughly protected with two fencings of Page wire. but they are all lowed quite close to the roads. so that the visitors in the city have good view of them at all times. and are not requested to pay an admission price.
 The plumes plucked yesterday were lovely. and the yield was good. The birds are plucked every eight months. and there Is now a big shipment of the feathers ready.

SIDE L|fHT THROWN ON SECOND HAND GOODS
A Glimpse of the Desoiate eoneyard of Literature.

The case of the Arizona Water company against ". K. James was resumed in district court yesterday afternoon and was submitted on briefs. This is an action by the plaintiff to recover from the defend- ant by replevin certain household goods formerly the property of W. B. Cleary. sold under execution to satisfy a judgment rendered Mrs Letita Lewis for rent The plaintiff held a mortgage for s1.0O0 on the goods. That Mrs. Lewis had lien for rent is admitted. but the plaintiff con- tends that it was waived in the process under the execution.
 The testimony yesterday related chiefly to the value of the goods and some light was shed upon the profits of the second hand business and the contempt with which second -hand
 men regard literature, The price of a
 book, for instance. ranges from 10 to
 Is cents. regardless of the quality of the book or it's mechanical beauty and excellence, Books are sold al second hand. stores at "a rather rigid price of 50 cents apiece. That seems
 like something of a living profit. but it was brought out that many books are not sold at all. Patent office re- I ports and other government docu- nents. are not so much in demand
 as to be ranked among ''tne six bes sellers
 Furniture is more in demand. Fol instance. in this case a Morris chail 1 which had been purchased for s5 wa. subsequently, sold for SIC: buffe that cost SIS brought $30.

AMENDMENTS PROPOSED
 BY GOVERNOR SLOAN
And Forwarded to Chairman Hamilton Author of Statehood Bill.

Governor Sloan yesterday wrote Chairman Hamilton of the house com mittee on territories suggesting certain amendments to the Hamilton statehood bill One proposes an increase of the new states share of the revenues from the forest reserve grazing fees from twenty to fifty per cent. Another pro- poses in addition to the lands provided to be granted to the new state for va rious purposes there be granted 1.Ooo.- 900 acres for the building and main tenance of good roads and there be granted for the support of the terri torial, or. as it will then be known, the state fair, 100000 acres.
 A suggestion has been made by Flu gene Brady O'Neill. though it has not yet been proposed to the statehood committee a change in the form of the grant of land for. school purposes. Un- der the bill four designated sections in each township are set aside for the purposes of the schools. These are sections two, sixteen, thirty-two and thirty-six.
 Such sections lying in any Indian, military or other reservation except national forests shall not be subject to the grant but other lands of equal area are to be selected for school purposes in lieu of them.
 Mir. O'Neill's theory is that such gifts of isolated sections would not be of the great value to the territory and he proposes that the bill shall be amended so that the new state may accept lien lands in a body in a forest reserve. the land so selected to be held in perpetuity for the benefit of the schools.
 Such lands included in one large body could be fenced and leased Sor grazing purposes and beside the terri tory would enjoy the profits from the timber cut from them.
