Cats VS.. BOOtjaCkS.

A wealthy Washington manufacturer
of wooden boot jacks has been losing
many sleeps owing to the fact that the
bootjack market has been mighty dull
for his implements Of war. He has
laid awake nights trying to get a
scheme through his thinkdome of how
to create a demand for his surplus
stock, and at the same time increase
the population of his adopted state.
SO one night, bright, sparkling idea
popped through his sky-piece. He
would advertise for 5000 cats to be de-
livered forthwith, if not sooner.
He Immediately issued a ukase to the
whole world including Missouri, that
he wanted 5000 cats or more. He is
not particular what strains are ship
ped but prefers Buff Cochins, South
downs, Clydesdales or Coolies; and
doesn't care if their pedigrees are
eight miles or l)nger.
His choice of colors are red, lilac,
plaid, pinto and mixed, provided, how
ever, that the colors are guaranteed
not to run.
The Washington gentleman is asso-
ciated with several other cat admirers,
WIN are hClGIllllllCh W NOl al bllC 1thN
market, and should they succeed in
getting corner on cats, there is not
the least bit of doubt in the world, but
what their adopted state would be
ver-populated with old maids as well
as cats with nine lives.
The Cat company claim that they
want Tabby with which to oust the
gophers, but such is not the case.
Their scheme il to turn all the cats
loose some cold, dark, dizzly night up
on the unsuspecting residents of the
village of Okanogan and let them SER
enade the citizens, who in turn will
grab their bootjacks and throw them
at the nearest Thomas or Maria.
The next day the prominent citizens
will go downtown to purchase new i'm
plements of war, but will find to their
sorrow, that the price of bootjacks
have scared with that Of bacon during
the night.
The eats will give midnight sera-
nades and the sleepless citizens will
i continue to buy new bootjacks and
throwing them at the imported songs
ters until the cats, sleepless ciizens
and old maids have been exhausted,
and the surplus stock of bootjacks
worked off on the innocent bystander.

IMPORTANT NEWS
 TO ENTRYMEN

Important ingtructions under date of August 4, 1911, by the acting secretary of the interior, have been issued to all United States land offices in regard to constructive residence durin g the first six months of entries.
 The instructionis, in substance as follows:
 The practice of according cred it for constructive residence GOV, ering the period of six months following the allowance of an entry will not be allowed on or after the first day of December, 1911; n all instances where or dinary final 6ve-year proof IS submitted.
 The acting secretary's expla- nation is given in part as fol- lows:
 In the matter of proof submit ted under the homestead law, it seems that a practice has ex- isted according to entrymen, where residence is begun within six months following the date of entry, credit for residence be- ginning with the date of entry. The result is, that where par ty takes up an actual residence just at the expiration of the six months, he is accorded a con- structive residence for the inter- vening six months, and thus permitted to secure title on proof of residence for a period of only four years and six months.
 There is clearly no statutory authority recognizing the pc riod of constructive residence referred to. On the contrary, the statute is specific in requir- ing five years residence.
 RELIEVED OF RESIDENCE.
 All homestead entrymen in the state of New Mexico are relieved by an act of Congress, approved August 19, 1911, from the ne cessity of residence and cultiva- tiop upon their lan1s from the date of the approval to April 1 5 1912. Below is quoted the Act referred to:
 "Be it enacted by the senate and the house of representatives in congress assembled. that al persons who have heretofore made homestead entries in New Mexico. are hereby relieved from the necessity of residence and cultivation upon their lands from the date of approval of this act to April Is, 1912; provided, that the time of actual absence during the period named shall not be deducted from the full time of residence required by law"

sitlon of the judge. He is put in d class apart from and above other officials. From his lofty position he looks down upon legislators and executives and, purged of the dross that is mixed in them, reigns and rules unin- fluenced by "momentary gusts of popular passion" or by the "hasty anger" of the majority. This is the ideal that President Taft sees before him. Why does he shut his eyes to actual facts? Does he forget how five United States supreme judges divided along partisan lines in the Til den-Hayes controversy and vo- ted their politics as ward bosses would have done? Does he for get how a United States supreme court decided the income tax case according to their sympa- thies-hve voting with the un- dertaxed rich and four with the overtaxed poor? Does he forget the most recent case-the Stan dard Oil and Tobacco cases where eight justices of the Uni ted States Supreme court went out of their way to repeal a criminal law which was objec- tionable to the trust magnates "a lag that congress had repeat edly refused to repeal? Many other cases might be cited.
 The trouble with President Taft is that he is sconstitutionally distrustful of the people. He has no fear of the tyranny of a min ority-but becomes hysterical at the thought of the majority making a mistake. He is willing to retire to the secrecy of the white house and, WITHOUT GIVING THE PUBLIC ANY INFORMATION AS TO RE- CONCENTRATIONS RELIED UPON, appoint judges to nullify acts of congress, but he can not think of allowing the voters to sit in judgement upon the acts of a judge.
 It is not strange that one who justifies our nation is governing the Filipinos without their con- consent and who favored the granting in the Philippines of PERPETUAL FRANCHISES under which foreigners could bind a helpless people forever 1t is not strange that one hold ing these views should be willing to apply imperialistic doctrines to Americans and dispute the right of the voters to impeach their judges.
 Every judge is now subject to impeachment at the hands ot tribunals elected by the people, is it going to ruin our country to allow the sovereigns - the people themselves-to constitute the jury and impeach for cause.
 President Taft has made grave mistakes in appointments and other grave mistakes in vetoing the bills reducing the tariff, but these may be attributed to errors of judgment. When, however he refuses to allow Arizona to frame her constitution to suit herself subject to the restrictions of the federal constitution-he shows leanlngs toward a centralized government, and when he be- comes frightened at the recall he discloses A LACK OF FAITH IN THE CAPACITY OF THE PEOPLE FOR SELF-GOVERN. MEN "A LACK OF FAITH IN THEIR INTELLIGENCE AND PATRIOTISM.

"Ben-Hur."

A great many stories have been
written and a great many plays pro-
duced dealing with the earth life of
Christ, but the most famous religious
romance and the only enduring drama
dealing with this subject has been
General Lew Wallace's "Ben-Hur"
which will be seen at the Gennett
theater on Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday evenings, May 4, ), and 6.
This fine romance, with all the bril-
liant pageantry. the barbarity and in,
tense religious enthusiasm of that per-
iod of the worlds history, when put
into dramatic form raised a wave of
admiration from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, for klaw and Erlinger's colos.
sal production of Wallace's biblical
story is the most remarkable and ma
jestic spectacle ever staged. 1t is a
fascinating, mastery creation that
ought to be seen at least once: most
people want TO see it more than once
for it interests the eye touches the
intellect and moves the heart.
Artistically, this seasons produc
ton is greater than ever. From the
prelude with it's mystic charm to the
last awe inspiring scene on the Mount
of Olives, it is pictorially magnificent
its story is interesting and its accom-
