HEKEY IN GRAFTERS
MAKES FINE SPEECH
\ STRONG LECTURE WAS PRE-.
SCENTED BY FRANCIS HENlIY
ON GRAFT PREVALENT IN
THIS COUNTRY.

For two and a half hours Friday
night at the Gale theatre Francis j.
Heney, known from one end of the
country to the other as d successful
prosecutor of %grafters, held a large
audience %spellbound as he told the
people of the grating that is going
IN in the United States. Mr.. Heney
vas on e of the attractions on the
lecture concert course, and his eff
fort was listened to with great in
tensity, the audience showing not the
least WEAKNESS. Mr.. Heney began re-
marks by saying that six years ago
when Secretary Knox invited him to
prosecute the timber thieves of Ore
gon he was under the impression that
the laXit yof law enforcement was
due to the weakness of prosecuting
attorneys, but his six years of fer
reting out and prosecuting criminals
in big cities had exploded this theory.
The responsibility lies almost alto
gether with the men who make the
laws and a weak public sentiment in
law enforcement.
Mr.. Heney analyZed carefully the
different kinds of government, prov
ing that there are only three-auto-
cracy, aristocracy. democracy, other
governments being notifications OF
all or one OF these. He showed IN
clusively that it was the intention of
the political fathers OF this country
to establish a democracy, but in real
ity our government possesses the
marks of an autocracy. The laws
and the wealth and power of the
country are held and manipulated by
the few.
To prove this assertion Mr.. Heney
referred to the practice of railroad
corporations in giving rebates and
the cities granting franchises and
the states giving away to corpora.
tons enormous tracts OF land. All,
these sources OF wealth rl2htfullI
belong to the people. He took III
the Standard Oil case, the Tobacco
case and criticised the supreme cour'
for its recent decision in those cases
He referred to the graft of San Fran
cisco and discussed at some length
the recent elections in California a
which time the initiative and refer
endum, the recall of the judiciar.
and woman's suffrage were odopted
all of which measures he advocated
and declared he was not ashamed Q
II of them.
The conclusion of his address con
, sisted of pointing out some of tn
remedies for existing economic evil.

SPRING RUMORS STARTS
IN RAILROAD WORK
ENGINEERS AND FIREMEN RE.
PORTED TO APPEAR ON MUIR.
DO DIVISION FOR WORK
TO BEGIN NOW.

Chamberlain. S. D.-Rumors OF
to appear on the surface in this sec
ton, and while nothing absolutely
..uthentic has been given out there
is a strong idea prevalent that the
Milwaukee company is getting ready
to take up the initial work of some
big project in the western part OF
the state. Last year there was more
or less talk. With some foundation
for it, that an extension was prob
able in the western part OF the state,
and things have progressed along 10
the point where it is believed in this
section that the company expects to
do things.
1t is probably authentic, however,
from headquarters for all engineers
and tiremen OF the l. &. ID. and Black
Hills Division who arc now off duty
temporarily to report at once for
work at the Murdo division. That
such order was given is reported hS
several railroad lei 1t is known in
what direction the Milwaukee will
eXpend it's energies, but the suppose
ton is that there is to be additional
track building somewhere in the ter
ritory west of the rever. 1t has been
advanced that a new road will be
built south into the new country be-
ing opened up, and that the spur will
be built from this line at Oacoma,
Presho, Murdo, OF some other con.
venient point along the line. An
other s%upposition is that the Mil
waukee will extend this line west
from Rapid City, through Yellow
stone Park, and connecting with the
Coast line at some point in Montana.
Amy n of these projects are prob
able. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that the call TO duty of engineers
and tiremen would NEAR that there
are extra trains tc be manned. If
the material for railroad building is
ready to be moved, it would be III
tural to get it out to the place where
it is to be used at this season and
while the river bridge at this point
IS firmly embedded in three feet OF
ice, and before any possibility of 3
delay might be caused by the crlppl-
ing OF the bridge during the h:s'
water in the spring.

the real meaning Of the recall and
advocated its application to all cleo
tive officials, including the judiciary.

'rne team that goes into Asne with only the coachs brain in it's head stands onjy half chance against the eleven that carries its own brain with it as well, writes George Jean Nathan in Haype.s Weekly.

CHINESE LAUNDRY
 TAG HAS MEANING
Every One Bears Name of 2 Celestial
 God or Goddess.

New York, Jan. At is not gene ally known that the Chinese laundry system of ticketing a bundle of soilcd clothes is based on the many gods and goddesses of tho laundry.
 Thought it Is complicated. the laun- dryman seldom deliver bundle of washed clothes to the wrong person. Furthermore, if the ticket Is lost the chances are that one will not get his linen, unless he iss a particular friend of the proprietor. Instances are ot record where an American has gone tn court to force the Chinese yield ID the washing, but the Judge was not convinced that the case of the Occi- dental was good one.
 The Chinese laundryman, at the be- ginning of each week. makes out q batch of checks in duplicate. to te used as wash tickets. He selects the name of some god or goddess. or of some object, as the sun, the moon, etc. To this he prefixes number, 6 Moon No. l." Moon No. g. and SO on.
 In the space between the two leg ends-for the signs are repeated twice-'he has his own name. as for example, Wah Lee.
 Whom a customer takes a bundle , washing to the laundry. the Chinese, first tearing a ticket in two in ragged fashion, put one-llaR of 1t on the pack ct, for reference; the other half he gives as a receipt to the person w:o has brought the package of laundry.
 It must be presented when the laundry is demanded, and no fears need be entertained that the bundle of clean clothes will not be forth coming, for the Chinese are scrupul ously exact in these matters.

 Her mother corroborated Mrs. Dun- can's testimony.
 Duncan said he provided for his wife, but admitted ha n.ver bought her any clothing. He said he gave her all she wanted to eat and g a week spending money. He declared his wife spent much of her time In her mothers home and that she had refused to properly prepare his meals.
