Hoys who contemplate playing pro-

The states are fast ratifying the

Perhaps the reason the congress-

In the January issue of the Typo-
graphical Journal under the heading
"A Measure Printers Should Favor"
appears an editorial endorsement of
the Oweu bill. After outlining the pur-
port of the bill the dltor says "As
usual the measure has encountered
the opposition or certain interests. To
overcome this opposition and to effect
tiro passage of the bill will require edu-
cational work and the co-opratlon of
friends of the measure." The Typo-
graphical Journal recognizes the im-
portance of this measure to the work-
ing man. Probably no other class
would be so greatly benefitted by any
improvement in health conditions aB
would the competent industrious n. em-
bers of trade-unions. The man who
makes his livinpr by the work of his
own hands must have health. It Is
his principal asset. A:iy measure
which improves health conditions is
of direct personal interest to the work

SONS MARRY?
Aliss Aiigette 'Perry told the New
York ('others Club the other day that
ma y girls set llu.uuu a year as the

dent. Sarah Bernhardt says French
young people are generally satisfied
on $20 per week.
A thrifty and economical disposi
' tion and a knowledge of good old
; housewifely ways on the part of tlx
1 girl can make a small income go a
long distance even la high cost of
living times. But the hardest rub
comes when physical ailments begin
to crop out In a growing family.
Free public schools assure the child
a fair start in life. But now that most
modern children need to have opera-
lions for adenoids for which $2." or
more Is often paid wher. you think of
the $5 bills sprinkled around for den-
tists and oculists when you figure on
trained nurses charges at $20 per week
it comes pretty hard to raise a family
that are burdened with only an aver-
age portion of the world's physical ills.
O
TWO VIEWS O: IMPEACHMENT.
The conviction of Judge Robert W.
An hbald of the Commerce Court is
only the third case of successful im-
peachment proceedings in the l uited
States in a period of 124 years.
A method of reaching public officials
that only wins once In 40 years is of
course not efficient. Probably one
great reason for this failure has been
tlx' older view of the nature of im-
peachment proceedings.
The only impeachable offences by
the constitution are "treason bribery.
and other high crimes and misde-l-
tooanors." During the formation of
the constitution there was a strong
effort made to broaden the ground for
such removal.
Amendments were introduced that
wnuid have permitted removal for
"malpractice and neglect of duty" or
for "maladministration." Both these
atne dments were beaten. James Mad-
ison spoke against one of them on the
ground that it would create a "tenure
of office at the will of the senate."
The difference of opinion thus dis-
closed has persisted to the present day.
One school of constitutional lawyers
has argued that Impeachment is pos-
sible only for such crimes as one could
be criminally indicted for. Others
bave placed a more elastic Interpreta-
tion thereon and have held that it ap-
plied to a wide range of action detri
mental to the essential principled of
government. This Idea has been rec-
ognized in the constitutions of many
of the states but not in the I nited
Slates constitution.
The overwhelming vote against
Aichbold suggests a general recogni-
tion thai the old view of Impeachment
is out of date. Conspicuous unfitness
and unsuttability may exist even if a
man has not broken even a by law of
a cemetery corporation. A few years
ago many of the senators would have
required evidence that would put a
man behind the bars.
Formula for Rapid Firing.
The rifle for rapid firing should
have shotgun weight shotgun bal-
ance shotgun trigger pull shotgun flt
and the sights must be such as can
be caught Instantly without effort in
'alignment. The hands grasp the
piece firmly not with the rifleman's
loose grip but the left arm pushes
forward while the right draws back
and the trigger Is pulled by trans-
ferring the drawing back force to the
trigger finger and not by any con-
scious crooking of that finger. The
moment the bead covers the mark the
bullet must be under way be the aim

Tears In the Contract.
A southern lawyer has gained state-
wide repute for his success in pleading
criminal cases. His claim to fame Is
that he sheds real tears while urging
Juries to save his Innocent clients and
the clause "No tears no pay!" Is a
'art of every contract he makes.
He had a case not long ago that
seemed easy on the start but devel-
oped later Into a most difficult one.
Net long after he had turned on the
tears the attorney had 11 of the Jury
weeping also. One stony-hearted Juror
at and glared at him. Tears had no
effect on him. The attorney redoubled
his efforts and his tears. He devoted
himself entirely to this adamant Juror.
Tears splashed from his eyes and
ieVed his whiskers and his waistcoat.
He talked eloquently and cried still
more eloquently. Presently tha set
'eatures of the determined Juror re-
laxed a bit.
Brushing away most of the tears
:he attorney turned his back to the
l iror and bent down to get a glass of
water. As he stooped he whispered
:o his law partner who tat near blm:
"John I've never lost one yet! That
Jarned old sucker can't hold out two

Farmers Combining for General Fight
Against Grasshoppers Cotton Boll
Weevil and Other Enemies of
Crops Bounty for Wolves.
Austin Tex Texas' long fight to
get rid of the grass and crop-eating
prairie dog Is nearlng a successful
flulsh according to Ascher O. Stnoot.
For the last eleven years poisoning
gangs have been going to and fro over
the prairies and farms of the state
scattering death dealing wheat and
corn on the mounds that mark the en-
trances to the homes of the dogs.
The state government has lesit ma-
terial aid to the movement and big
ranchmen have spent thousands of dol-
lars to further It. The antl-pralrle-dog
law passed by the state legislature In
1905 provided tor the extermination of
the pests within five years but the
magnitude of the task made strict
compliance impossible Mr. Smooi
says. In fact that provision of the
statutes which provided for civil suits
and Judgments against any land owner
ierellct in dog killing at the expira-
tion of five years has been seldom In-
voked so general has been the ac-
knowledgment of the bigness of the
undertaking. Mr. Smoot thinks that
the forthcoming jvlnter will mark the
utter extermination of the little brown
burrower and that next spring will see
Texas free of the dogs for the first
time In her history.
Incidentally he says that most of the
dog killing outfit owners are prepar-
ing to reorganize their forces and go
Into the wolf-killing business after the
coming winter's campaign. The wolf
scalp bounty bill which provides a re-
ward of ten dollars for every lobo wolf
scalp turned over to the county au-
thorities and half as much for every
coyote scalp will become effective No-
vember 1 next and Mr. Smoot thinks
hat It will have the effect of causing
a great slaughter of wolves which
make ranching business a hazardous
undertaking In the western and south-
western parts of the state.
Fortunes have been made in the dag-
killing business in Texas during the
'ast ten years according to Mr. Smoot
The slaughter of the little pests who
peopled the plains in millions devel-
oped Into a flue art early In the war.
reach boss killer has his own methods
of slaughter and works along his own
original lines.
Some of them mixed strychnine with
dough. Others favored corn as the
bait. Some employed the carbon
method rolling chunks of burning ckr
bon down In the holes to consume the
oxygen breathed by Mr. Dog and the
members of his large family. Some
used traps some bullets. A few em-
ployed a combination of all methods.
But whatever the methods the dog
killers work by contracts and main-
tain their own Individual outfits. The
outfit consists of a chuck wagon for
hauling the bedding cooking utensils
groceries etc . another for hauling the
poison and supplies and utensils used
In spreading the stuff and a force of
poisoners.
Having made his contract to clear a
stated area- ofttlmes thousands of
acres of dogs the killer moves In
with his outfit and begins work. The
ground Is staked off for miles around
the stationary chuck wagon and to
each member of the gang Is allotted
a certain area on which to spread
poison or distribute carbon to kill the
dogs This is usually all the ground
that can be covered by one man In a
day.
On the second day a second round
Is made and another dose of poison
distributed. A third dose generally
gets every dog that will eat poison
Then the outfit moves on to new ter-
ritory. Sharpshooters are left behind to
shoot such stray dogs as have es aped
the poisoning gang These usually
stay en the ground for about thrc-
days A week later a second hunt Is
held on the carcass strewn ground for
tin benefit of any survivors. When
this is at an end both contractor and
land owner generally agree that the
dogs have been killed on that par
tlcular territory. In some instances
.vutflts have been kept at work for
more than a year on single ranches
Kncouraged by the outcome of the
prairie dog war. Mr. Smoot says that
the ranchmen and farmers are combin
Ing for a general fight on crop and
grass pests. Besides the wolf which
every year kills thousands of young
calves sheep and goats the Texas
land owners are preparing to adopt
vigorous measures for the extermlna
tion of the grasshoppers the cotton
boll weevil and worm and the cattle
screw fly. A fair start has already
been made in the fight against the
boll weevil and worm and the grass-
