desirable to take stock on January l..

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

The question is frequently raised
What is the paramount issue before
the country?" This is answered diff
ferently by different persons. One in
dividual is interested in Juvenile
Eourts and better care of delinquent
children and this Is a very serious
proo,em. Judge Lindsey of Dener,
Judge Black of Columbus and others
are bringing this matter to public at
tention and the facts presented show
how vital the matter is to the up
building of public morals.
Anoher set OF men are interested
in the protection OF the government
lands, waters. forests and mines, from
spoliation by cormorant corporations.
