Sail over but the shouting,
Somebody will be nominated for
mayor today.
And somebody will be elected in
April
But the smoke goes up the Chin
ney Just the same.
And straphangers will go on strap
hanging, unless the Itney bus be-
gins to jit.
Political promises are much like
New Years resolutions.
They start strong, but soon Wither
and decay.
What a lot of bad blood a political
fight stirs up.
Do YOU suppose the politicians get
so excited merely because they love
Neither do we.
Politics is war, and you know what
Gen. Sherman said war is.
A Workingman would be mayor of
Chicago if the worlIingmen knew
how to vote together for THEIR in
terests.
Levy Mayer says it's time to elect
a business man president.
But then Ley's lawyer for Big
Biz.
Who's your candidate, Levy? og.
Armour?
The Democratic factionaI scrap
comes mighty close to being actual
war
Fat chance for those factions to get
together after today if they're as
Warlike as they talk.
Sometimes a primary is one thing
and an election quite another.
Some day Chicago will elect a |
mayor as a real Independent or nom

Among the leading candidates on
both old party tickets there isn't one

crisis.
And yet all they ask politically is !

HARRIS FOR RATE REFORMS

HARRIS FOR RATE REFORMS
State Senator George w. Harris
has announced that he would ask an
amendment of a referendum clause
to the passenger tariff bill, which in.
cFeases the railroad mileage in the
state from two to two and one-half
cents, when the bill is introduced to
the senate.
81 believe that the people should
be given the power to determine this
question:" said Harris. Personally
/ believe that government ownership
of railroads is the only solution to
the problem. 1 have long believed in
the inherent fairness Of the people
and / want to see this tried. The
people are not hostile to the rail-
roads, but they depIore the high
handed methods of officials which
have caused the wreck of some of
the finest railroad property in this
country"

Improvements

It is encouraging to see the improvements that are being made over the town, particularly in the way of sidewalks and street crossings. Babbitts have just completed a new cement walk in front of the post office and also in front of their lots next to MT. Buttons. MT. Poison, and the Catholic church and others have laid new walks along their prop critics along 3rd street and the city has put in new crossings, which now give this street com plete walks on both sides.
 The fence which MT. Amund- sen has just placed about his residence is an artistic novelty which adds materially to the looks of the town. These are but a part of. the improvements which are being made at the present time and all are benefit to the town. We will take pleasure in mentioning others next week.

The Passing of the Dreadnaught

The papers are full of predic- ton that the dreadnaught is soon to be passed to the junk heap. The little sea wasp, has already driven the big sea leviathans be- hind defenses of mines and des- troyers, where they have remain ed inactive and useless. Only one. of England's first class ships has taken any part whatsoever in the bombardments at theDardanelles nor have they proved of service elsewhere.
 In the face of these facts it is encouraging to note that our nav al officials are withholding their recommendation for nextyear's ad- ditions to our navy, until they learn more of the part that the submarine is likely to play in future warfare. Just at pres ent it seems probable that the sea-going submarine is destined to be the battleship of the future but if a successful means of com batting submarines be discovered, the dreadnaught may enjoy an- other day.
 One man has invented "ears" for warships, which, he claims, will detect a submarines ap- proach at distance of a number of miles. Daniels and his staff will do well to benefit all they may by the present war, before making their recommendations to Congress.

13 DEAD and 40 Injured

 Thirteen were killed and forty were injured as a result of the safe and sane''? celebration of the. Fourth in and about New York city. The toll for the en- tire United, States would un- doubtedly amount to several hundreds. This seems like an inexcusable loss of life and limb. After all, what is gained by making the Fourth noisy?
 Last year Williams added two to the list of seriously maimed. We have heard of none this year.

The people .pf Williams want the bestsin motion picture and that is what they are getting at the Sul- tana.

An Excellent Performance

Busby's Minstrels played to a crowded tent last night. They were by far the best minstrels that ever visited the city under canvas. They have an excellent performance especially the dancing, while the old time minstrel performance and songs delighted the audience, They carry fine band and are a tuneful, musical, talented crowd. = Yates Center Advocate.

PAYS BOUNTY ON COYOTES
Funds Now Available for Bounties I'm.
der New Federal Animal Law.

For the purpose of encouraging the
extinction of coyotes. wildcats. bears,
wolves. mountain lion, and other pre-
datory animals, the last legislature
arranged for the payment of bounties
as follows: coyotes, wildcats and lynx.
$3.50; bear or wolf, $1,000; cougar
or mountain lion, $3.50
Persons killing any such animals
must make affidavit that they were
killed on OF after the first day Of
March, 1915. and they must present
the entire skin of each animal with all
paws attached and 1t will also include
the skin OF the head with both ears
attached, the lower and upper lips,
feet, and etc, etc. to a predatory ami
NAL inspector, who is to be designated
by the state veterinarian, who will de-
tach the four paws from the skin and
mail them to the state veterinarian
with the affidavit. The postage or ex-
pressage and the affidavit must be
furnished by the party applying for
bounty.
Section 5 OF the act provides that
any person who shall make any false
affidavit for the purpose of obtain
ing said bounty, shall. upon conviction
thereof, be punished by fine not
less than n hundred dollars nor
more than five hundred dollars, or
by Imprisonment In the county Jail OF
not less than thirty days nor more
than six months"
The county commissioners are re-
quired by this law to levy a special
tax of three mills on every dollar of
assessed valuation CT sheep. one mill
on the assessed valuation of the cattle.
one mill on the dollar of the assessed
valuation of all hogs. and " mill on
the dollar of the assessed valuation of
horses within their respective coun-
ties, which mney is paid into the state
fun and paid out in bounties. We
have written to inquire whom the state
veterinarian has designated as the
inspector of this district and hope to
be able to give this information TO
our readers mex week so that those
having skins of animals killed after
the first of March can secure boun-
eies.-Holiister Herald.

the income tax. a regular anarchist
But he loathed the idea of taking for
ests and water powers and locking
them up under the keys Of Federal
conservation-a regular reactionary.
The fact is that Borah is a regular
guerilla. He doesn't swallow any po-
litical restaurants whole table d'hote
just because he likes one OF the cours-
es, yet, instead of offending everybody,
he seems to make most people like and
trust him."
The editor says most discriminating
ly that Borah is a man of courage,
unmarked by the brand of any fad or
section or selfish interest. That would
be "a good kind Of president!-Rich-

Loving, blessing all mankind
For thy gifts so rich and free,
Help me Lord, thankful to be-
For the world In wisdom made,
Towering hills and shady glade,
Fragrant flowers and birds that sing
Making earth with gladness ring
For the starry sky at night,
And the moons pale, silyery light,
For the SUMS bright rays by day,
Thankful ! would be Away.
For the friends so kind and true,
For the loving deeds they do;
Life would be at times most drear.
But for friends constant and dear.
For the gift Of Gods dear son,
Who for man his life laid down;
Help us Lord our thanks to show,
Giving back the life we owe.
For Gods word our guide and stay,
Pointing out the heavenly way;
In that sacred book we find,
Wonderons secrets OF Gods mind.
For the hope Of endless life,
Free from sorrow, sin fnd strife;
Wake my soul, pour forth thy praise,
Songs Of alteration raise,

Reclamation OF Lands.

The dominant purpose OF our irri-
gafidn district law is TO facilitate the
economical and permanent reclama-
tion'of our arid lands, and 1t must be
the constant aim of judicial construc-
ton 10 effectuate that purpose so far
as consistent with the whole body of
our law. The continued existence of
an irrigation district depends upon its
ability to furnish water to land al
ready within the district The stabil-
ity and efficiency of the district as a
quasi-municipal corporation also de-
ponds upon the power to construct
proper drainage within its lands. In
the absence of either the right to fur
nish an adequate water supply or con-
struct an effective drainage system,
the purpose and object of the district
would be thwarted and the growth
and development of the state retard-
ed to its serious detriment. "
