GOOD JURY SERVICE.

Rather than through the organlza- tion Of an association under the style of advocates of the enforcement ot all the laws of state and city. could be worked out the safety of Hot Springs through an individual deter mination to render good and faithful jury service to the courts
 The purposes and objects of an as- sociation for law enforcement are too laudable to be subject to criticism, but the application of such an asso- citation to the local situation is very doubtful.
 The gambling evil in Hot Springs is answered. The negative has been placed on the evil by public senti. ment, by the press, and by the courts. and through the legislature in it's en. actment Of penalty to it the situa- tion that the professional gambler will not brave.
 There will be no more false reports of a wide open" Hot Springs be- cause there is d state felony law that repudiates any such situation.
 Swindling, confidence rackets. bun. co games and violations of this ma. ture, are sn the courts, where they can only be handled by officers, courts and JURORS.
 One great hindrance of law en. forcement organization at this time is that many a good juror will be lost in such an organization. If as an in divIdual you would, when selected as juror bring in verdict in keeping with the law and evidence. regardless of who was being tried, you are too valuable an asset to real law enforce. ment to have your determination re- vealed in law enforcement society.
 Lawyers are smart men. Law vio- lators are shrewd men If you are ob- served each Friday night attending a law enforcement assoeiation, or il your name is enrolled on the roster  Of law enforcement association, you are not likely to find place in the jury box in the trial of criminal ac- tons
 The more enthusiastic you are on the subject of strict enforcement of the law. the less likely you are to be able to really serve to the end of tho punishment Of the violators of the criminal statutes.
 If there were continued open viola. tions of the law, and the officers were dereiict or the yiolators were persis- tent. and it was necessary for citi- zens to band themselves together and stand as a phalanx behind the law. ! then this organization would proba. ply have a membership Of 1000 at its first cal, and several t,mes that mum. Der as a reserve force.

THE HEALTH FADDlST.

Those who read health literature
are not all health seekers; in fact,
no small per cent are health faddists.
The health faddist is often sick and
really in need of health; frequently
he has the sick habit. But as a rule
he Is interested in matters of eating,
exercise, etc, largely because they
offer him a diversion, an amusement
out of the ordinary. This person has
tasted, has taken the milk cure. has
lived on meat exclusively, has tried
yegetarianism, has trained in accor-
dance with the various physical eul-
ture schemes, and has taken the rest
cure. In fact, there is nothing in the
line of health fads, old or new, with
which he Is not familiar.
The health faddist has little or
nothing to show for his efforts. The
fact is that he does not stay with
any of the bad plans long enough
to succumb, nor with a rational plan
long enough to get well. The truth
is, the health faddist. as a rule,
makes a business of of being sick; he
is not really looking for health, he is
looking for amusement.
The health faddist is the greatest
enemy today to the liye-for-health
idea. AS he goes about a physical
wreck he is pointed out many times
a day as being a result of the diet
idea, and the physical culture idea.
To the ~undiscerning ne Is a living re-
futation of all the good and bad
health ideas. Many health seekers
are turned aside from the truth be-
cause of this result. as they think, of
health habits.
The real health seeker. the man
who wants an opportunity to work
for health, or the mar who is will
ing to deny himself a few indulgen-
coa that he may add to his physical
and mental efficiency. goes quietly
about Investigations, and guided by
common sense, he discards that which
is bad and clings to hat which is
good. The good he Incorporates into
his daily life, changing his bad habits
for good ones and working persis-
tently for health. As success comes
to him he tells his friends. Moral:
Don't be a health faddist; be a
health seeker"

MIRDERER'S FRUITLESS
CRIME FOR MONEY

Charles F. Forney. caretaker of
the Stewart Mackay fish pounds,
seven miles from Truckee, was muir
dered near his lonely cabin during
last Friday.
His dead body, with a bullet
wound through the head, was found
the next day in the ~woodshed near
the cabin.
The murderers had taken Forney's
body into the woodshed and tied his
hands across his breast and then
locked the door with a paddock from
the outside.
Forney's body was found by Olsen,
a teamster, who had gone to Forney's
place with supplies. Finding no one
about to receive the supplies. Olsen
investigated and found the body in
the woodshead. There was little
evidence of a struggle, and there was
little blood about the body.
Forney. who was aged 40 years,

GOVERNMENT As A TRUSTEE.

The possessory title to the min
eral land should be retained in the
government simply as a practical
method of assuring development I'M
der the best conditions. Let us re-
gard the Federal government as a
trustee rather than as a sovereign
landlord, and the idea and purpose of
pr~oprietorship by the people become
more easily understood"
This was the sentiment expressed
by George Otis Smith at the Ameri-
can Mining congress in Philadelphia,
which concluded its sessions Friday.
Mr.. Smith is director of the U. S.
Geological survey, and was speaking
on the disposition of the natural re-
sources of the public domain. He
said:
The application of the lease idea
to the mining of precious metals,
while logical in certain respects, is
not at all of comparable Importance
with its application to what have
been termed public utility mineral
resources, such as coal. petroleum,
phosphate, and potash. The mining
law should provide for prospecting
permits that will give exclusive oc-
cupancy during periods only long
enough for full exploration by bona
hde prospectors. The annual assess
ment farce has had a long enough
run. The prospecting permit will
ripen into a lease whenever the re-
suits of exploration justify the oper-
alton OF the property on a producing
basis. Where the proof of coal or
oil or other mineral substance in min
able quantity is a discovery of the
type termed wildcat in the case of
oil. the pospeetor rendering such
service to the industry and to the
public should receive his lease upon
purely nominal terms.
THE essential features of the lease
should be conditions enforcing full
and continuous use. economy and
safety OF operation. and control OF
occupancy. Transfers should not be
prohibited but simply made subject
TO approval by the peoples %represen-
tatiye. II in any region large units
of production are seen TO favor low
er costs and a longer lived industry
all for the public good, consolidation
of holdings should be encouraged
and transfers of leases permitted
but II the purpose of large holding is
monopolization in order to eurtail
production and raise prices, transfers
10 that end should be denied the ex-
%ecutive approval necessary o make
them effective. The advantage OF
the lease is that it allows the govern
ment TO exercise continued control in
the public interest"

this, he says. will play a great part in

industry there, said that there are
