Lakes, or Coastwise) which had carrying
capacity Of 94O,O68 tons.
Coastwise, we had ships with carrying ca
pacity of 6,425,37 TONS On the Lakes, our
tonnage was 100000.
Handicapped by high tariffs and out-of-
date navigation laws, the American ship
owner makes a surprisingly good showing.
And on top of all this American citizens
own hundreds of the vessels that fly foreign
flags. These vessels have a carrying capacity
Of 100000 tons. In case of sudden war, these
American citizens would be only too glad to
run those ships into American ports, fly the
American flag; and do business for, or sell
out to, the American government.
What these ship-subsidy fellows are after
Public money for t'amscomtiaeqetaz rail-
roads q0hach maintain lines Of steamers aOhich
don't pay.
That's all there is to it.
Up. S.-A casual reader would be misled as
to the nature of the three page Brooks article
Read it again. You will see that while he OPP
poses one kind of subsidy, he proposes an
other. He favors "a bounty on -dutiable
articles, and "a preferential tariff on all i'm
ports. That's whipping the devil around
the stump. Both the bounty and the prefer
entail tariff would take money out of the
pockets of the common people, for the benefit
of ship-owners.)

Mr.. Stricken, gentleman whom it seems has
been the victim of an assault truly terrific
Certain of the followers of Mrs. Stetson, to-
gether with that lady, it is said, would as
semble themselves and surcharge the atmos-
phere with wicked thoughts against Mr.
Stricken, which wendell their way through
the circumnambient air to pounce viciously
upon him. Through his own remarkable tele-
pathic powers, he learned of this plot, and
barely saved himself from its appalling effect.
But the Church is decidedly split up over the

The attention of the Government should be
directed to the matter at the forthcoming
session of Congress. It is too prodigious to

weapons, but what of this new and deadly

most before he realizes what is happening,
the vindictive thought-wave has drowned
him, sitting peacefully in his office, or the ami

No punishment can be too severe for Mrs
Stetson, wicked witch that she is, and, indeed
nothing would be adequate except for her ex-
ecutioners to start a cerebral combustion that
would flash from "Bosting" to New York,
and burn her to cinder-much as the good
fairy used to do with the cruel stepmother.

Governor Patterson has made the RIGHT
move. Investigating Committees, whose visit
is known days in advance, and for which the
officials of any institution carefully prepare
are generally nothing but whitewashing ar
rangement. They see cleanliness, where dirt
relgned supreme but shortly ago; they are
served good substantial meal, and informed
that the prisoners get its like every day; they
are taken about by urbane attendants, and all
IS lovely. They can but report that the stories
OF discharged prisoners are without foun-
dation" and SO the grim, subterranean trag-
edy goes on, year after year. There exists no
reason why prison, of all places, should not
be the cleanest and most healthful, for the
inmates are under the absolute authority of
superiors. If they are diseased on entrance,
they may be isolated from the healthy; if
they are dirty, they may be forced to be clean.
Rules OF sanitation may be rigidly enforced.
Foulness anywhere is directly the fault of in
different officials. Would that more govern
ors would take upon themselves the personal
responsibility for investigating prison condi-
tons that Governor Patterson has assumed.

If Japan should be so absolutely crazy as to

Besides these competitors for ocean freights
there are the merchant marines of South

competition with such an enormous number
of foreign vessels?
To hear these ship-subsidy thieves jabber,
you would think that the United States had

EMPEROR WILLIAMS
FIFTlETH BIRTHDAY

Berlin, Jan. 27.-The fiftieth ami
versary of the birth of Emperor Will
lam was celebrated in the usual man
ner today. All the crowned heads of
German states, except the aged Luie-
pold, regent Of Bavaria, came to Ber-
lin to present congratulations. The
city was decorated gaily. Emperor
William was cheered by throngs on
the streets as he appeared at one of
the castle windows.
All the newspapers of Berlin today
devote articles to the anniversary
and publish retrospects of his reign.
All comment is more or less tinged
with the recent crisis growing out of
the publication last fall of the inter-
view representative of the London
Telegraph had with His Majesty on
foreign affairs. The tendency with all
the liberal papers is to let bygones
be bygones and work for better fu-
ture.

TO ExPUNGE WILLETT
SPEECH FROM RECORD.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The House
with few faint nays today adopted
the report of the special committee
appointed to consider the speech de-
livered in the house last week by
Willett, of New York, in which the
President was severely criticised. The
report recommends that the speech
be expunged from the Congressional
Record; declares that the peculiar
constitutional duties of the house in
relation to the power of impeaching
the President do not preclude the
clear line of distinction between the
criticism of acts and conduct neces-
sary for the performance of the con-
stitutionaf duties of the house and
criticism that is merely personalAand
irritating. 1T also claims it Is the spe-
cial duty of the house to protect the
President from personal abuse or rid
icule. The resolution of the special
committee describes the language u.s.
ed by Willett as improper and in vio-
lation of the privileges of debate. Ac-
companying. the report was a letter
to the special committee from VIII
lets, denying that he had transcend
ed the rules of the house.

Washington. jan 27.-Every effort
is being made by the House Com
mittee on Territories to report the
Arizona and New Mexico separate
statehood bills by the end of next
week. The bills will be reported by
the Republican members, but will be
exhibited to the minority before the
re-hearings held by the full commit
tee. The bill will probably provide
for grants of land by the federal gov
ernment instead of grants of money
as has been done in some cases to
territories granted statehood. These
grants of lands are to be primarily
for the purpose of hquidaung GER
tain territorial debts.
thorough investigation of debts,
both county and territorial, in New
Mexico and Arizona is being made
with the object of determining how
much land should be granted by the
bill. 1t is proposed to give New Mex
leo two representatives and Arizona
one at large in the house.

At the end of, the last fiscal year,
when business was heavier than at
any other time during the year, the
1S2 National Forests were cared for
by an executive and protective force
of % inspectors, SO forest supervisors,
81 deputy supervisors, 33 forest as
sistants, s planting assistants, 941
rangers, 521 forest guards and SO
clerks.
The average area to eacn officer
Theoretically available for patrol du-
ty was 1865 acres. But more than
three-fourths of the time of these for
est officers is now required by the
fast-growing volume of National For
est business, SO that in point of fact
the force on duty at the close of the
year provided about one patrol Of
ficer to each 100000 acres of Forest.
This is considered inadequate for pro-
lection of the Forests. Until prOVis
ion is made for large increase of
force it is necessary either to cur
tail the business arising from use of
the Forests or to neglect the proper
safeguarding of Government property
against fire.

LIS HhSoioS' S<1i-' . az. NN
Heard, president OF the Arizona Cat
tie Growers Association, today delV
cred an ADDRESS before the Natlona
Livestock convention, his subject be
ing Heuefal Controi OF Grazing
LanoS. Inc 1olioWlng Is an apStrac
or the address:
The question OF federal control o1
the public grazing lands IS necesSar
lily one of vital interest to Stockmen
and in the wise administration o1
these public grazing lands so as tc
obtain from them the best benehclal
results, hes the prosperity OF the
stockmen, and MS prosperity means
much in the best development OF the
west
Owing to the bigness of this ques-
tion and the varying conditions eX-
listing throughout the west, 1t is very
natural that there should be very ra-
dical differences of opinion as to the
wisdom of the policy OF federal con-
trol. 1t seems to me, however, that
this matter should be discussed with
the utmost frankness and that no ef-
fort should be made to obscure The
real issue by throwing corral dust In
the air, as one speaker at the Denver
lano convention very tersely put 1t.
1t is pretty generally admitted by
Stockment that the present range con
ditions throughout the west, involving
certain rights and resulting IN almost
constant conflict, friction and m1Sun-
derstanding, sometimes resulting in
bloodshed, are exceedingly unsatisfac
tory and that prompt remedy IS
needed.
Our organization, in its last annual
convention, at Denver, prepared a de-
finite measure, and adopted the same
by a decisive vote of 396 1-2 to 80 IL.
This bill has met with the approval of
the department of agriculture, which
is given charge of its administration
and has been presented to congress
under the title of the Curtis-ScoJJ
bill, exactly as prepared and approved
by this organization.
