WATCH YOUR STEP
BY THE CONDUCTOR
Reforming Criminals.

'All this gulf bout reformin' crim- inals is hogWash.
 T got to readin how that Mister Os- borne went to the pen for week an them ladies let 'emselves be locked up for four days, an 'en they come out an hoIler bloody murder cause them jailbirds is made to set up like old Doc Baldwin made us kids stand up all durin' recess while tn other kids was playin'. I bet my dad an your dad wOulda kicked like these highbrows is kickin' if old do'd made them set up like us little geezers did.
 No sir; when fellow kills his mother with a hatchet it's wastin time to reform him. If his mother hada re- formed him when he was a boy he wouldn't brained her with tn ax.
 It's like what I see in tn paper last week. Some darky writes a letter askin' any kind reader to give him tn receipt for maxim kinky wool straight. A fool person told him they knowed they was some kind O dope'd do it. If l could write good enough I'd tell that black man tn secret to it. He's got to pick a grandfather an 8 grandmother that's pure white or else JapS.
 So tiS with this criminal stunt. You got to breed human betn's if you don't want Cats and dogs.
 But I tell you what's tn matter with tn jail an tn prisons. They put tn sheep with tn goats. Nobody cares what becomes of real criminal, 'cept tn judges and tn lawyers. They want 'em let out O Jail quick so they can put 'em back agin. It's the nuts that makes a mistake an gets pinched an tn poor devils that didn't go to do it l feel sorry for.
 US guys out O jail ain't got no right to stick them bIunder people behind tn same bars we put tn mother brain in kind Amt we big enough to see tn difference?
 When we get sense 'nough to save them that's worth savin' theys time enough to cry about them that ain't

REPUBLICAN RECONSTRUCTION.

Following the action of the repub- Ican national committee in declaring for a reorganization of the national convention rules whereby the basis of represenratio therein would be more egUiJably apportioned, t is Q signi- hcant fact which is revealed in the election returns from the states of New York. New Jersey. Massachusetts, Maryland and Michigan for the past two years. A comparison of these fig ures indicates that there is swift and steady return to the republican fold by those who left it last year. This has been due in a large measure to an indicated disposition to carry out what has been recommended by the national committee, and at the same time it has followed Q recognition of the fu- tiHty of supporting a third party for the retention in office of the demo- cratic opponents.
 Concerning this showing whereby the republican party gained over 100000 votes in five states the democrats losing 100000 and the progressives 4500 0G0 the New York Tribune says: "The republican organization can re- gain power in most of the states and in the nation if it makes itself felt as an intelligent and indispensable op- position. It must be active and aggres- sive. however. not passive and IaziIy opportunist The drift is now all to it's favor, but it must not also be con tent merely to drift"
 The move of the national commit tee comes at a time when it not only 5ustiGes the action of those who have returned to the party which they left, but gives substantial evidence to others that the party realizes its responsibil- ities and opportunity.

 What Mexico needs is houseclean ing of Huerta and his supporters and the quicker this Is realized by the dictator the better it will be for the country and all concerned It offers him the opportunity for magnificent display of patriotism and self denial. Huerta's elimination would be the best thing that could happen to Mexico.

THEIR FIRST RIDE

Glider remembered that there was a police investigation then on and real ized that the policeman feared trap, so he kept silent until they drew up before the green lights. The policeman proudly led them up to the desk ser geant, who ushered them into the cap- tain's room.
 Your uncle said he would come right down when we phoned. he explained. T don't like to lock you up" Glider had recovered elf-possesslon and by the time the Wrathful uncle ar rived he had made such good use of his time that his apology had been ac- cepted in full. Then the door flew open with a bang and a choleric old gentle man entered, fiourishing cane. Even in his excitement Glider wondered how the coachman had mistaken him for his master, but the next development drove all such thoughts fronNhis head, for the new arrival paused in his bel ligerent demonstrations
 Are you Jimmy Gilder's son?' he demanded.
 ''So I've been given to understand, ' he answered, wonderingly
 The cane flew across the room ana the old man came toward him with outstretched hands.
 You're the living image of your father when he left college he cried. .'Id have Known you anywhere"
 q wish you had recognized me in front of the barber shop" he laugh Fed" then added more brazenly: No, l don't Then you would just have help ed me to catch my train. I'm glad l stayed
 It was easy work explaining. John Davies now regarded the whole matter as a joke. and insisted upon carrying Glider back to his home.
 I'm sorry the elopement wasn't in earnest" he said late that evening, as they smoked in the library.
 I'll do the best l can," was the earnest assurance, and when Glider finally caught the 5.48 Mabel saw him off, and on her finger glistened a ring that had not been there when they took their ride together-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

MAGAZINE PAGES
WASHINGTON IS MYSTIFIED
BANK REDEMPTION Of
FIcE is SURE BUNDLE LEFT
IN GOOD ORDER

Oakland, Calf, May 6-The theft
of 14S $10O bills, $4,000, from an ex
press package sent from Washington
d.. c., to the Central National bank
OF this city, is engaging the efforts
of number Of special agents, and
every mile of the trail OF the package
from the time it left Washington is
being gone over. When the package
reached the bank here and was open,
ed it was found to contain clipped
magazine pages of the size and weight
of the missing bank notes.
!, The bank notes were addressed to
Che Oakland National bank from the
National bank reduction office Gov
ernment officials of that office have
notified the bank that the package
was properly sealed and stamped be-
fore it was turned over to the United
States Express company Officials of
the express company have assured the
bank that the package could not have
been tampered with before it reached
Denver and the report of the Wells
Fargo company, which is said to have
relayed the package from Denver, has
given the same assurance to the
bank.
Somewhere a counterfeit seal was
used, and the wax impression that
reached the bank on the package con
tanning valueless paper clippings has
been pronounced to be a perfect gov
eminent seal. The discovery of the
theft has been kept secret several
days in the hope that the special
agents of the government and of the
express companies would be able to
trace the theft.

BUT FOR coTERIE OF FIN
ANcIALLY INTERESTED.

Washington, May 6.-Gifford Pin
chot charged before the senate ter
ritories committee today that private
interests had held up legislation to
open Alaskan coal fields under a. leas-
ing system, and named former Sena-
tor Guggenheim Of Colorado as one of
the men who had exerted his influ-
ence to prevent such legislation. He
told the committee that he could get
the names Of other men in and out
of congress who were in opposition to.
the leasing system.
Mr Pinchot had been called to give
his opinion Of the bin for government
aid in the construction of Alaskan
railroads. He was asked why, in his
opinion, legislation to develop the
Alaskan coal fields had taken SO
many years to get through congress.
DO you mean that members Of CON
gress have been influenced by private
interests against sucn legislation Z"
asked Senator Lippitt.
Il mean what you all know, that
private interests. have great influence
in congress-, returned Mr.. Pinchot.
There was strong opposition from
Senator Guggenheim to the passage
of the leasing bill. There were 9th,
ers. can get the names if you wish
them"
The former forester declared that
in his judgment the government
should operate railroads in Alaska.
He believed in the leasing system for
mines. He added that if the govern
ment had retained possession Of the
coal fields Of Pennsylvania there
would never have been such -politi-
cal corruption as he said existed in
that state.
Mr.. Pinchot advocated the retention
in government possession Of all fac
tors of power, coal oil and water
power.
Power he said. lis the greatest
tool of civilization The curtatlment
Of sources Of power is the main rea-
son for the high cost Of living"

is expected to file several written
communications with the committee.

dence that prompt action should be

sion. from the governor-general
down" wrote Manuel Quezon, resi-
dent commissioner Of. the Philippines,
in protest filed today with secre-
tary Garrison against Mr. Worces-
ters statement that slavery exists in
the islands
Resident Commissioner Earshaw Of
the philippines Joined in the state
ment. Mr.. Quezons letter says that
if slavery exists in the Philippines
the Philippine commission alone is re-
sponsible for the lack Of proper leg
islation to punish this inhuman. say
age crime. and adds:
Not until recently has this ques-
ton of slavery been brought up and
only for the purpose Of telling the
American people that the Philippine
assembly, as regarding the capacity
Of the Filipinos for self.govarnment,
is a failure
Governor Forbes also gave out a
statement similar to Mr. Worcester.
Whether or not as matter Of
policy the members Of the commits

Worcester has done enough not only
