WANTED TO BE A COWBOY.
Sixteen Year Boy Who Cashed
$50 Check Intended to Go
West.
Nevada fall.

Nevada Mall.
Sheriff Baugh and Prosecuting At
torney Lee Ewing returned home
Wednesday evening from Virgil town
ship, where they went to arrest E. L.
Robinson, sixteen year old boy, who
was charged with forging w. A.
Codry's name to an $50 check anc
cashing the same at the First Nation
al Bank, where Mr.. Codry has an &C
count. Robinson seems to be a boy
who wanted to be wild and woody"
cowboy. When arrested he had on
a loaded 38-calibre Smith & Wesson
revolver and belt holding thirty-two
cartridges and after his arrest is al
legged to have said, "All that | regret
is that did not get to see those fell
lows first. :"
Sheriff Baugh walked up on the
boy and nabbed him before he had a
chance to make a gun play. The
boy is alleged to be the person who
wrote the $3.50 E. N. Green check
which was found by a railway COM
pany, but which was never cashed.
The boy evidently intended to 60 west
as letters were found indicating that
he expected to 60 west after cashing
the $50 check. Robinson purchased
new clothes at the Harper Clothing
Store and also made some other pur-
chases in this city. When arrested
he had $43. rs and this will be turned
over to the bank. Prosecuting Attor-
ney Ewing says that the boy will be
taken to the reform school.

Government Pays For Lake Con.
trary Work.

Washington, March.-Senator
Stone succeeded in amending the
rivers and harbors bill in the COM
mittee so that the $50, 600 for bank
work at Lake Contrary will be paid
by the government instead Of half by
government and half by St Joseph
as originally proposed. The million
dollar appropriation for river inn
provement will be considered by a
committee Tuesday. Consideration
has been delayed because Of the ILL
ness Of Senator Frye Of Maine, who
is chairman Of the committee, but an
agreement was reached Thursday
night to consider the matter Tuesday
whether Frye was present or not.

West Point Hazing Rules Out.

Washington, Marc h. Secretary
Dickinson signed an order covering
the whole general subject Of hazing
at West Point and providing in brief
for its differentiation. Cadets guilty
of the harsher forms Of hazing will
be summarily dismissed as in the
past, and will not be subject to rein
statement within two years; suspen-
sion and reduction in class are pro-
vided for the cadet who hazes anoth-
er with no intent to iniure or humili-
ate, while for the mildest forms Of
hazing the punishment, which must
be less than dismissal, is LEFT to the
discretion Of the superintendent.

The Handwriting on the Wall.

Is it possible to fool the people of
the United States all the time? A
wise and patriotic statesman of FORM
er times said it was possible to fool
all the people some OF the time;
part of them all the time; but not all
of the people all the time They will
no longer be fooled by the Republi-
can crowd which has successfully
fooled them for so long. The Re-
publican party is now hunting for
new issue with which to fool the peo-
pie. Its best and most trusted lead
ers have been at work for months
searching for an issue to detract the
attention of the people from the live
and pertinent issue of the day and
before their minds and brains in or
der that the party may again succeed
at the polls and win the next election.
They will do anything to bring about
success no matter how they do it, or
what are used. They see the hand
writing on the wall-the doom of
their party and in desperation they
are ready to take hold Of any issue
that even looks promising to them.
They see their own party discredited
and disgraced. They see Taft in a
hard and fast alliance with Aldrich,
Cannon and "The System" at Wash
ington. They see preparations made
to force down the peoples throat, al
ready rasped and inflamed by the AL
drich tariff, a central bank and feder-
al charter for the trusts. Joseph

"CANN0NISM is

LaFOllette Says the System Will

Madison, Wis, March.-U n d e I
the heading. ''The Skirmish in the
House." Senator LaFollette will say
editorially in.h magazine issued:
The new committee on rules will
have the same power as the old com.
mittee on rules, that is, whenever a
majority ofits members so determine,
it is privileged to present for the con.
sideration of the House a special rule
or motion with respect to some part
cular bill or proceedings. 1t has al
ways had that power. The Republi
can majority of this committee or
rules will be named by Republican
caucus. The steel trust, the sugar
trust, the beef trust, the cotton trust
in short, the system, will control ir
that caucus by an overwhelming ma
iority,
1T dominates both branches Of
Congress. 1t speaks through Aid
rich in the Senate and through Can
non in the House. II will control the
new committee on rules. If fol
diplomatic reasons it places an insur
gent Republican on the committee, i
will be strong enough to balance tina
appointment with Tammany Demo
Graf.

The System There Still.

the committee, but the system will be
as potential on that committee as
though Cannon were its chairman.
Sheltered behind the committee, he
will be as effective an instrument for
wrong as though he were still its
head and front. He may be even
more dangerous. His offensive ar
rogance, his coarse personality, will
be less conspicuous.
'The effect of this contest in the
House has been greatly exaggerated.
When the cheering and the excite
ment over the nominal defeat of Can
non and his machine shall be succeed
ed by calm elaboration, the American
people will inquire how much has
really been won, how far afield the
standards of true representative gov
eminent have been advanced.
Eject OF the victory.
"The victory will strengthen the
morals of the progressive organiza-
ton. 1t will demonstrate that the
system can be beaten. But it will be
clearly understood that little was
achieved besides the temporary hui
initiation of an old man of bad emf
hence, whose successor the system
must, at all events, soon be put for
ward.
"Cannonism without Cannon is Just
as hurtful to the country a Cannon
ism with Cannon. The people must
understand that Cannonism is ashort
definition of government by that sys-
tenn. Aldrich and Cannon would have
little power for evil if a majority of the
Republican majority in both the Sem
ate and the House represented public
interest instead of special interests.
It's Up to the People.
$50 long as the Republican major
ity in the House serves the system it
will make little difference whether or
not Cannon is a member of the COM
mittee on rules. The American peo-
pie must understand that this has
been only a skirmish. The real bat
tie is still to come, and that must be
fought out in the primaries and the
elections between now and Novem-
Der. Candidates must be nominated
and elected who will vote against
Cannon and his type, without finch
ing, and against Canponism in every
form.
'Tn fear Of the approaching cleo
tons, some of the system congress
men deserted Cannon and voted with
the insurgents. These men are max
ing a record upon which to go before
their constituents. The gathering
storm of public resentment caused
them to abandon the camp of the
enemy and join the insurgents. Let
them come. Let them be tested.
Watch their records. They will be
tried many times in this session. By.

AWED THE STUDENTS.

Jean Riehepin's First Lesson n an In
structor In Literature.
At the age of twenty-five Jean Richie
pin. the French poet and dramatic au-
thor. accepted a place as instructor in
literature in a school which prepared
students for the military college of
St Cyr. His employers warned him
that the future army officers took very
little interest in belles-lettres and that
their principal occupation in class was
raising chaos.
Richepin's first lesson began amid
a storm of whistling and catcails. But
the young Instructors voice doomed
out above the uproar and imperiousiy
commanded silence. Gentlemen" he
said. Il am not here because l like 1t.
! am here for my living. Is any one
Of you going to stand in the way? II
there is. should be obliged II he will
tell me so face to face on the Place du
Pantheon. where l am ready to meet
him at any time. And inasmuch as we
are all OF us about the same age. you
understand. Of course. that the inter.
view will be with bare fists"
And. so saying. young Richepin
brought his clinched hand down upon
the desk. and the desk broke in two,
and he and his pupils lived happily
ever afterward. Thus runs the official

MAIL CAR PROBLEM.

San Antonio, Texas, June 27.-On
complaint of s. M. Gaines, superinten-
dent of the railway mail service OF
these parts, the Texas railroad COM
mission may in the near future scru-
tinize the mail cars run on some Texas
railroads. Mr.. Gaines says that none
OF the roads in Texas use cars which
are really defective and that such ex-
traordinary factors Of danger as must
be met by the mail clerks are due
to the practice eof using cars partly
built Of wood in trains composed of all
steel coaches. In case Of accident
this invariably results in the heavy
steel cars crushing the mail car like
an egg shell. Mr.. Gaines thinks that
the wooden mail car is comparatively
safe only in trains composed through.
out Of cars of that type. While the
railroad commission is inclined to
take action, 1t has as yet to find out
just what power it has in the prem
ises.

REPORT SHOWS GAIN
British Labor Party Tells CO.

YET PARTY LOST SEATS

London, June GA report on the
British Labor party to be presented
to the International Congress ut Co
penhagen shows that the total
strength of the party last year was
1881 ,seS.
The total consisted of 1.445.I0S
members of 16l trade unions. S0.9S1
members of socialists societies. 1900
members of the women's Labor lea.
que and CTS co-onerators.
In 1908 the strength was l.15a.1S6.
During 1909 the Miners Federation,
with membership of $4,000 was al
filiated. The strength in 1900 was
only 375.9s1.
Seventy-eight labor candidates
fought in the general election, includ.
ing the whole of the 3s sitting mem.
bers and IL members for whom the
Miner Federation of Great Britain
were responsible, but who IN the pre-
vious parliament had sat as liberals.
The result was that the party lost
eight seats and won three, showing
net loss of five. Under the cir.
cumstances, says the report. the re.
suit was not disappointing. In the
election of 1906 the tide in our favor
was full. and the number OF labor
members elected. surprised every.
body.
THE election of 1910. on the other
hand, was of a special nature. The
government was defending q budget

supported by the labor party both in
parliament and in the country. and q
constitutional issue relating to the

A BAD. ORCHARD ENEMY.

June Is the month when careful in
spection should be made OF the young
apple and pear trees to see that the
newly Matched larvae of the borer
beetle are headed OF. While some or
chardists incase the trunks of the
young trees with wrappers of one kind
or another. which extend a couple of
inches into the soil. or paint the trunks
with whitewash in which a rather
strong solution of carbolic acid has
been added, these precautions should
not be allowed to take the place Of an
individual tree inspection. This Is best
done by keeping all grass and weeds
hoed away from the trunk of the tree,
getting down on all tours and careful
~ scraping the bark for a couple of
inches below the surface OF the ground
with sharp knife, a curved bladed
pruning knife being preferable. The
presence of the newly Matched borers
will be indicated by a drop Of discolor-
ed sap exuding from the bark or a tiny
bit Of brown wood dust. If the borers

This dead bark should be carefully

the purpose nicely, the use of it often

bark and tree. When the borers have
been cleaned out the wounds should be
packed tight with moist soil, so as to
hasten the healing process. There is
no other single pest which does as
much primary damage to fruit trees as
borers, yet there is no orchard enemy
which the novice seems to know SO lit

OF his customers. Knowing that they

Of the cornfield and shallow cultiva-

time the plants reach a height OF a
a root system which spreads out as

The aim of the later civilizations
should be to ksep the surface of the
soil mellow to prevent baking and a

More than one housewife saves her
self a world of hard work by having
the men of the house put OF their
muddy boots and shoes before going
into the kitchen or dining room. This
takes little time, but the reasonable
ness OF it will be appreciated by any
fair minded man who will get down
on his prayer bones and scrub the door
two or three times.
