Exultation Cut Short

Speaking of the policy of the
government of the United States
with respect to its troublesome
neighbors in Central and South
America, "Uncle Joe" Cannon
recently told of a Missouri con
gresham who is decidedly op-
posed to any interference in this
regard by our country. 1t seems
that this spring the Missourian
met at Washington an English
man with whom he conversed
touching affairs in the localities
mentioned. The Westerner as
serted his usual views with con-
siderable force, winding up with
this observation:
THE whole trouble is that we
Americans need a - good lick
ing!
you do, indeed l' promptly
asserted the Britisher, as if he
was greatly pleased with the
admission. But his exultation
was of short duration, for the
Missouri man Immediately con-
cluded with:
But there amt nobody can
do it !"

@@HE public land laws
~ provide that two per
sons may Jointly take
up public land under the min
ing laws, and one person do
the work on the claim, the
other furnishing the necess-
ary money to buy supplies.
his is commonly known as
the Grub Stake Law, and
each owns half interest IN
anv land so obtained from
the government. There is
no good reason why this
principle should not apply to
land taken up under the home
stead law, and a bill embody-
Ing this idea is now before
Congress. If Congress should
pass this bill it would give an
opportunity for labor and cap
ital to work together in the
matter of taking up public
land, one person furnishing
the necessary money to prop
erly improve and go through
with the homestead and the
other furnishing the necess-
ary work and residing on the
claim. This would provide a
means for very many worthy
people to acquire homes who
have 40 hopes of getting
homes of their own under the
present public land laws,

<Y HE Rev. Earl Flynn, a
~ California minister, in
recent lecture advised
his hearers to eat sauerkraut
if they would live to be 100

there's some strength to that

1.-TWO matters Of foremost
W Importance to the peo
pie of Arizona, which
are on the Democratic sChed-
ule, are the Canadian reci-
procity and the tariff schedule
on wool. Under the agree
ment proposed with Canada,
cattle will be admitted to the
markets of the United States,
free Of duty, and regions like
those of Arizona, New Mex1-
co and Texas, which are large
producers of cattle will be af-
fected. The same regions are
vitality interested in the pro
posal regarding the tariff on
wool; as wool growing is one
of the great industries. From
a careful canvas of the situa-
ton, our correspondent
finds that the wool industries
are considered Of vast impor-
tance to many sections of the
east, including Ohio, Penn
sylvania and New England,
and that these regions will
join with the mountain states
extending as far west as the
Pacific coast, in resisting a
change in the present sched-
ule.

PLEA FOR TREASURY RELICS.
Mrs. John B. Henderson Wants Old
Doric Columns Preserved.

The order for the removal from the
Mall Of the twenty-nine Doric columns
formerly a part OF the Treasury building
may hasten action by the District COM
mittee of the House, to which has been
referred Representative Suffers bill for
the preservation of the columns and their
erection in the form Of colonnade in
Potomac Park. The bill provides for an
appropriation OF $35 600 to place the col
umns in the form of a colonnade stadium,
amphitheater or in a Greek ruin effect, in
any part of Potomac Park
Mrs. John B. Henderson, who is much
interested in the preservation of the COL
ums. said yesterday:
Every citizen of the United States
should take an active interest in the cam
'paign to save those old columns
Fl have received assurances" continued
Mrs. Henderson, that the subject will
be taken up by Congress, and that favor
able action will be had If this is not
done. / am willing to get the columns
and keep them until Congress acts. Such
course. however, would be very ex-
pensive. and l hope. therefore. that Presi-
dent Taft and prominent people in the
