HOLMAN IS AROUSED.
Resents False Stories Being Circu-
lated to Injure Him.

Commissioner NJ. C. Holman claims
that someone is circulating out
rageous," rumorS about him. Some
one," said he, ''has been making a
statement saying that I am against
the old soldiers. Such a statement
which has no truth, is simply outrag-
eOus and the person who stoops to
make such a statement should be pun
ished.
Reports have come in from people
who claimed that I said the coloNHd
sanitary officer, Mr.. Pasker, will be
fired if I win in the campaign and
the rest of the force retained This is
an outrageous lie, and the man who
said it ought to be punished. He is
one of the best men on the force.

has been taken in regard to what I
said about the system employed at the
high school for the protection of per-
sonal property.
my boy just lost a $45 bicycle and
was a little worked up about it
was mad. I had no criticism to make
in regard to requiring the students
make a deposit at the time they are
given a locker key. That is perfectly
all right, but the students should
have their property protected at the
school.
Seems to me the board ought to
provide some adequate system of car
ing for personal effects even if it
would cost $4,000 to do it. That could
be included in the estimate of ex-
penses.

I think I have some reason to COM

the quality of feeble squeak which

nothing of senility or decline in his

like an attempt at humor.
Hon. Brown of Kingman was a Pop
ulist in the days of Populism. In fact,
he was one of the originators of that
cult. He was a delegate to that AL
lance convention at SaIina which came
so near hanging his fatness, Hennery
Allen. Hennery was a Saline reporter
at that time, and with another under
paid pen pusher concealed himself in
the opera house where the farmers
were holding secret session. A search
of the theater unearthed Hennery, and
motion to hang him carried unani-
mously. A reconsideration of the vote
was all that Wichita has to thank for
that ten story building.

In days past, when Mort Albaugh, d

was constant irritant to his fair

Brown established another in the same

let alone. 1t is much safer to laugh
at his talk of old age than it is to err

IN RECIPROCITY FIGHT.
Reports Are Persistent That Laurier
Government VIII Go to the Country.

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 2S.-Persistent
reports that the Laurier government
will go to the country on the reci-
procity agreement are published by
the opposition press. This in itself
is an acknowledgment of the popu-
larity of the policy, for the govern
ment is under no necessity to face
another general election until 1913.
Moreover, the census is to be taken
this year, with redistribution of par
iiamentary representation following.
In this redistribution the western
provinces expect to make large gains,
and it has not been generally believed
that the government would precipitate
a general election before 1912
Such an appeal would not interfere,
of course, with the passage of the
agreement by parliament at this ses-
sion, for which the government has

The Hamilton Herald is stirred to
nominate Mr.. Scott as poet laureate of
the anti-reciprocity cause, but sug-
gests that his line might be less vague
and not more irreverent if altered to

done before?
Arise in thy might, o. Lord, and keep
US from selling them any more.

the whole. 1t required the entire day
to wade through the document and
when the job was finished, the mem
bers recalled that it was George
Washington's birthday and took a
vacation.
There were many little things in
the bill to which the members took
exec ption and in some places sections
We're bodily removed, but usually with
very little damage to the measure. The
bill furnished very little fun for the
several score of visiting Democrats
who went to the senate chamber ex-
pecting real entertainment. But the
bill was on the calendar and the SEN
ate waded into its mysteries with a
sincerity of purpose and the bill is
now on the right track to the statute
books.
Somehow in the bill is modest
little paragraph which provides that a
farmer, owner of land or occupant
thereof may go cunning at leisure and
need not contribute his stipend to the
state fish and game fund for license
from the county clerks office. George
Hodges wanted the farmer to pay for
his fun at the same ratio provided for
the man from town and his theory
precipitated row.. There were just
SO varied opinions on the subject and
the Hodges plan went to the junk
pile.
There was further provision
against the killing of turkey buzzards
and kindred fowl, but Senator Ander-
son denounced the turkey buZzard in
the same language that he has refer
red to the standpat members; and the
result was that turkey buzzards were
placed on the free list
No one understood the minute
working of fish ladders and their
scientific construction Professor L.
L. Dyche put them wise on this mat
ter and the senate showed its appre-
citation by leaving that section in the
bill.
In another place there is something
about bird feathers as fitting decora-
lions for Easter bonnets. The section
condemns the heather habit. So does
the senate; and that progressive body
left the provision just as Professor
Dyche wrote it.
1t was found that the present fish
and game statutes were pretty badly
shot up by the new bill and the eight
or ten constitutional lawyers asked
leave to report the bill subject to
amendment and debate in order that
they might determine the necessary
repairs to the present laws.
The senate refused to accept the
house resolution calling for final ad-
1ournment at midnight Saturday.
March II. Instead the senate substi-
tuted the Stavely resolution which
knocks off six hours of work each day
of the final week. His bill provides
that work shall cease at O'Clock each
afternoon and exempts the customary
long winded and chesty final day ses-
sion.
At 4:20 the senate took a recess for
the remainder of the day in observ-
ance of Washington's birthday.

WHAT WILL VARDAMAN DOp
"uch speculation as TO What Sort of
Figure He Will Cut i'm the Sen
ate.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The assur-
! ence that James X. Vardaman is
coming to the senate Of the United
States as the colleague Of John Sharp
, Williams Of Mississippi has led TO
much speculation here regarding the
kind Of figure he will cut in congress.
! That the long-haired one will be in
class all to himself, unless compar-
/ ison may be had with jeff Davis of
Arkansas, is admitted.
Davis has never done anything
, since he came to the senate except
TO make himself the laughing stock
of the body. Coarse and ill-grained
, he seems out of place with his sur
roundings, and It is doubtful IL he
ever will fit In. He was not made for
the senate, no matter what may have
been thought of him In the great
State of Arkansas.
Will Vardaman do any better? With
prejudices SO strong for the South as
to be offensive, the outlook is that
unless he can be curbed he will strike
a snag before he has been in the SEN
ate many weeks. Fortunately there is
Williams of Mississippi-tactful and
diplomatic-whom may. to a certain ex-
tent. hold the rough and ready varda-
man In check. 1t is not probable that
he would otherwise be restrained
from the traits OF wooliness which
have heretofore characterized his
public career. Vardaman and jeff

Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. g.
James Mayes. SO years old, who
claims to be an automobile repairer,
recently from Portland, Ore, Is under
arrest here charged with being the
ban'it who held up passengers on the
Salt Air railroad last night. The
hold-up took place as the train was
nearing Salt Lake City from the re-
sort and three persons were shot
and slightly wounded The bandit
was finally knocked from the run
ring board OF the open car and al
though pursued, escaped In the dark
ness.
Later Mayes was arrested In the
railroad yards a short distance from
the scene Of the robbery. He denied
the accusation. but today he was iden-
tilted by four or five Of the passen-
gers who had been held-up. including
the three who were wounded.
In his pocket was found coin,
carried a pocket piece by one OF
the victims. This coin has been posi-
lively identified.
The three persons wounded by the
bandit are all recovering. Mayes says
he was scuffling on the train and
was pushed of.
