Show r FRIDAY, DAILY UTAH STATE JOURNAL, the irtles replenishat the oases they coinmlsarlat their ing reach. In January, 1903, Lieutenant IleHMft was ordered to start from the Twat oases to make a tojiographic survey of the desert to the southeast toward the Ahaggar mountains and to study the available pasturage and water supply. The distances traveled sere measured on a cyclometer atAll the tached to a bicycle wheel. to instruments required tniographic make an approximately accurate survey of the surfuce features were provided. A considerable part of the country was mountainous, and In these regions the dally marches were very short, for it wus necessary to climb some of the summits to get bearings on the surrounding peaks for the purpose of the map. The expedition traveled about 1,(00 miles from and to its starting point It brought buck much detailed Information with regard to the geography, geology and hydrography of the region explored. Borne of lta discoveries were of a surprising nature and point to the speedy extension of the French stations to the heart of the desert. The party discovered how it was that the Tuaregs had been able so easily extend their raids to the neighborhood of the French stations in the northern part of the desert. It was because they traveled through a region that abounds with grass and water. During most of the Journey Lieutenant Besaet found good pasturage and excellent water in abundance. Caravans from the north have never used this route because it was the stamping grounds of the Tauregs. Underground waters in large quantities come to the surface in the wadies of Potha and Igharghar which traverse this region; and there are opportunities for the reclamation of a larger area by irrigation than the northern French oaaea present There are widespread depressions which are naturally well watered and produce abundant grass. The Tauregs used these basins for pasturage and date culture till Lieutenant Conneneat in 1901 punished them severely in their home among the Ahaggar mountains for one- of their ' murderous raids They have ventured on no more raids but are living quietly among their mountains and say they wish only FEBRUARY 12, 1904. food Is carried, AMUSING WHITE ETIQUETTE HOUSE THE EVOLUTION REPUBLIC.

The Importance of the popular vote In New York in the coming presidential campaign la fully recognised by both political parties and the selection of their gubernatorial candidates will undoubtedly be materially Influenced by the consideration of the Influence which the selections would probably have upon the presidential vote. The task of the Republicans Is comparatively simple. The best they can be expected to do la to select a candidate for governor who is strong and popular enough in the state to be sure of a large vote, which would, naturally, strenghten the national ticket Such of Elihu a candidate Root Is believed to be and It la generally admitted that he can have the nomination If he wishes It There is practically no opposition to him from the Republicans of the state and It Is well known that the administration is highly anxious that Mr. Root should accept the nomination. Decidedly Is the problem more complicated of New Democrats faces the which of York New McClellan york. Mayor would undoubtedly make a strong candidate, but his nomination la doubtful for several reasons. There Is every reason to believe that New York will give a large Democratic vote, no matter who the candidate for governor on the Democratic ticket may be. It is considered desirable; however, to get aa strong a vote as possible In the state, and It Is believed that that end could be gained with greater certainty If tbe candidate for governor la not New York man, but from somewhere in the state. It la understood that Tammany wishes to hold Mayor McClellan in reserve for the future, with a view of electing him governor In 1906 and make him a presidential candidate In 1908. Among the numerous men who are considered available aa Democratic candidates for governor Judge Charles N. Bulger seems to be the strongest and to lead in the ract Other candidates mentioned are eneral Cuneen, Justice Herrick, Daniel 8. Lamont, John B. Stanchfield and John G. Milburn. None of them can compare in popularity with Judge Bulger, however, and their chances are Attorney-G- believed to be rather slim. j Now it la the publla school system of the state of New York which Is experiencing one of the periodical ex, dtementa arranged by the legislature for the purpose of bringing diversion Into the monotony of legislative life. There have been so many doctors trying to cure the suffering school system that its condition has become very near hopeless. Every session laws have been passed, changing the ays tem and Introducing new features, until It required the keenness of a corporation lawyer to find a way through the labyrinth of laws and regulations governing the school system of the state. It may be easily imagined that some of the measures were not framed with sufficient care to fit into the general scheme of the system and that conflicts of authority naturally arose from time to time. Such a conflict has existed for some years between the two supreme powers, the board of regents and the department of superintendence. To abolish that conflict and. incidentally, to Increase the pa tronage of the Republicans, a bill has been introduced Into the legislature which seeks to unify' the system by making both boards subordinate to a commissioner of education, whose authority would be practically supreme. Of course the Democrats and the board of regents are making desperate efforts to defeat the proposed legislation and Its adoption la, to say the least, extremely doubtful. To give their o position greater power and a more unselfish appearance, the Democrats favor a commission of three. non-partis- an In view of the everlasting complaints concerning the Inefficiency of the bridge and elevated service between New York and Brooklyn, the suggestion of Martin W. Littleton, president of Brooklyn borough, to build a circular railway connecting the Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges by big loops in Brooklyn and New York is attracting considerable attention. According to Mr. Littleton's idea the road shall be an elevated road, with four stations In Manhattan and six in Brooklyn, and shall be built owned and controlled by the rlty of New York. The originator of the plan and with him many supporters t,f the suggestion are of the opinion that the construction of such a circular road wiuld put an end to the terrible crush at both ends of the Brooklyn bridge and materially Improve the transportation service. If the women of New York had th, right to vote at state elections the attitude which Mayor McClellan has taken In regard to a few features of the civil marriage ritual would undoubtedly furnish a strong argument In hla fkvor, should he run for governor. His failure, or perhaps, refusal to kiss the bride at a few marriage ceremonies which he performed In his official capacity, has set tongues to wagging and caused a great deal of superfluous and even ridiculous comment Well, that kissing business, even granted that It la Included In the prerogatives of the office la, after all merely a matter of taste and Inclination. One man may attach no value to the privilege for which another might be willing to pay a good round sum. The interpretation that Mayor McClellan declined the kissing out of consideration for the feelings of his young wife, la undoubtedly of feminine origin. The women, especially the married women, approve of the mayor's imputed discretion and give him credit for it and the men well, the men are perfectly willing to give him the credit of the doubt But there is another point, which la of greater Import and infinitely more apt to win the eternal gratitude of the women of New York for his honor. It is hla positive stand in opposition to the use of the word "obey in the marriage service. He positively refused to place that Injunction upon the brides whom he married and also objected to the formula, "with all my worldly He thinks both goods J thee endow. are obsolete, not befitting the spirit of our times and by no means binding In law. Although, aa far as the obeying Is concerned, nearly every woman suits her own convenience, it le quite commendable In the eyes of women that a man, a big, horrid man, has the good taste and courage to bar the injunction of obedience from the marriage ser vice. The Parsifal season at the Metro polltan opera house has been eminently successful from an artistic aa well aa from a financial point' of view. It la whispered on the Rialto that the net result of the Parsifal season has been over $200,000. Be that as It may, there Is no doubt that the season was profitable. The character of the per' fortnances was such that there is every reason to believe the charges of sacrilege and lack of piety have been forever silenced. One of the Interest ing events of the season was the birth of a child in one of the waiting rooms shortly after the first act of the last performance. The mother of the child which.
