venture upon roping any OF their
ponies, or leading them out past
where they slept. There might
be clippers in the cabin with which he
could cut the wires, yet If one of tho
gang awoke, and discovered the herd
absent, 1t would result in an alarm,
and lead to early pursuit It was far
safer to use their own ponies He
would lead Hawley's horse quietly
through the water, and they could
mount on the other shore. This plan
settled, he went at it swiftly, riding
the captured animal while rounding
up the others, and fastening the three
to stunted trees on the opposite bank.
Everything within the cabin remained
exactly as he had left 1t, and he briefly
explained the situation, examing Haw.

scarcely be mistaken as to her identi-
ty in this respect. and, indeed, she had
never openly denied the fact. Yet she
did not at all seem to be that kind,
and Keith mentally oontrasted her
with numerous others whom he had
somewhat intimately known along the
border circuit. 1t was difficult 10 as
sociate her with that GLASS; she must
have come originally from some excel

be pitied than blamed. Keith held no
purttanical views of life-his own ex-

democratic for that-yet he chung to-

Keith, grasping the table, hauled him

A Boss Like Burr

After mental acrobatics that must
have been trying In hot weather.
the colonel has solved the prob
lem of the bosses. The Republican
bosses nominated Mr.. Taft. 1t ap-
pears. because they wanted to be
beaten The Democratic bosses
nominated Mr.. Wilson because
they wanted to win" Both are eq-
ually culpable.
With bosses to the right of him
and bosses to the left of him, I'M
appreciative and hostile, the big
boss, proceeds merrily to nominate
himself, to name his own running
mate, to write his own platform,
to be-devil his followers with his
selfish and contradictory mandates
and to set up his own cash regis
ter at the door of his own conven-
ton. This boss has no delusion
about winning. He knows that he
cannot win. For a ruthless ambi-
ton in part. but primarily to feed
passion for revenge, he is willing
to wreck his party and destroy the
political future of his dupes. He
is the first boss of the kind since
Aaron Burr.

Another Wheat CsOp

According to reports coming from
the recent hail district there will
be a wheat harvest about the mid
die of August. A number of the
wheat fields that were left stand
ing have stooled out again and give
promise OF good yield. Some of
the farmers tried the plan of cut
ting their fields right after the
hail aud those have come along
fine. Others who just allowed
them to stand are also going to get
fair returns. This II 1t proves out

the wheat crop in this valley as
1t will leave only a period of few
days in the year when 1t Is liable

State Capital Notes

The first move in the general
fight that Is to be made against
the initiative and referendum con-
stitutional amendment was made
this week when attorney N. Walter
Dixon Addressed letter to Sec
rotary of State Pearce. maintaining
that the amendment was never
properly enacted, and demanding
that he re-submit it this fall and
that he refuse to place the bills
now in his office through petition
on the ballot at the coming cleo
ton. Mr.. Dixon informed the Sec
Rotary of State that II he refused
to comply with the demand legal
proceedings would be started to
secure Judgment of the courts In
the premises.
The initiative and referendum
amendment was sub
mitted to the people by the extra
session OF the Seventeenth Gener-
al Assembly. The state constitu-
ton provided that all amendments
to it must be advertised in news
papers as we'll as in the session
laws of the assembly. There was
not time between the adjournment
of the extra session and the next
regular election to advertised the
proposed amendment in the ses-
sion laws. Nevertheless. it was
placed on the ballot and voted up
on. 1t is upon this fact that
Judge Dixon bases his claim that
the amendment was not properly
enacted. He maintains that the
coming election is the time when
it should be submitted to the peo-
pie. He also maintains that with
the proposed amendment not yet
part of the constitution Mr..
Pearce cannot submit the PROPOSE
sitions that have been prepared for
submission under it's provisions.
