riding alike executive orders and legislative
enactments." In view of the fact that Treas
urer Jordan has spent much time in ccnsulta-
ton with New York bankers, and has borrowed
few millions of them when not penny was
needed and of the further fact that he is con-
centrating the coin of the country in the East
for some reason best known to him and to
New York capitalists, and of the further fact
that he has made arbitrary rulings in their
favor, this charge is peculiarly diverting.
1t is almost as funny as the New York Suns
view of the 'joke" attending the passage Of
the Pendleton bill.

"THE result of the elections throughout
the State is a great surprise to brewers, as it
was not thought that dozen places would
adopt the maximum figures"
So says the dispatch giving the result of the
elections in the State of Wisconsin, where
nearly half the towns and cities voted for a
high tax of $500, and where low tax is 5000
year. The iquor-dealers will be surprised
at the result of many other elections in other
States than Wisconsin. They have Extensively
thrust their business into political contests,
and must take the consequences. High tax
is the inevitable, if nothing more Every
vote by the liquor power in this city against a
800 tax now means two votes in the near
future for $500. Liquor-dealers should exer-
else ordinary common sense.

HIGH taxation of the liquor traffic is the
practical remedy for its regulation, at present
at least, in towns and cities, where to talk
of prohibition is to talk mere wind. The
Church Temperance Society, of New York,
established by the aid of Bishop Potter, DIR.
John Hall, DIR. Howard CroshE and other
men of like high character, has adopted high
taxation as the point to which to work. Tenn
perance associations Of the Empire State gen
orally declare in favor of high tax. The Ro-
man Catholic authorities and the temperance
societies under their care have favored high
tax for many years. Bishop Ireland was one
of the first to advocate it. He was largely
instrumental in having it adopted in the State
of Minnesota, where it has worked WELL and
tie State Of Wisconsin has adopted modified
high tax law. Localities can determine by
vote of the people whether the tax shall be
SCOOP annum, $3.50, or $500. In the city of
Chicago the effect of high tax has been most
salutary. The result there, generally speak
ing, has been better ordered saloons, the
wiping out of the low groggeries in the resi-
dent districts of the city, and the addition of
$l.2OO,OOO to the municipal revenue. The
Tribune says 'the general tendency seems to
be in favor of higher license fee than $500
for large cities. The New York people favor
$1,000 for cities over 100000. Joliet, in this
State, has adopted that figure The liquor
dealers are not frightened at the proposal"
We call the attention of the people of Indian
apolis to these facts and figures, and particu-
larly invoke the consideration of the liquor
dealers themselves, who are opposing tax of
simply one hundred dollars Every vote cast
against so mild a proposition will make two
votes year hence for at least five hundred
dollars.

SO long as the Eatonian machine operates
to keep Republican partisans in Office these
organs are satisfied with it, scream in defense
of it, and vehemently contend that civil
service reform is an accomplished fact.-New
York Graphic.
No, the Graphic knows exactly why and
when Republicans ridicule Democracy. The
administration made its fight, and especially
in New York, on the ground that it was the
hands the civil-service rules would be safe
Republicans very naturally call attention to
the way Democracy dishonors its promises
when men like Kelley are preferred over men
who honor and love their country. They
cannot be expected to keep still when men
like Dunton, Board Bowling, Judd,
Meiere, Grubbs and Tyrer are appointed
to the places made vacant by the removal Of
honest officials on the hypocritical and con-
temptible charge of Offensive partisanship."
Despite the oaths of favoring reform in its
best sense, the Democratic party has done
very much to make civil-servic reform roar
ing farce, and has honored thieves and con-
victs of every degree at the expense of honest
and efficient officials. The work has but
fairly begun, and is held in check now for no
other reason, apparently, than to await until
after the election in New York and Ohio. The
Republican party will not hesitate to show
this business up.

THE Western Christian Advocate for this
week feels compelled to rebuke the offensive
assumption of certain class of people. 1t
says:
"The temperance army is not confined to
the little band who rallied last year under the
banner of ST. John, nor to those who will this
year vote for DIR. Leonard. The temperance
host in Ohio numbers 1923, 900 men-perhaps
more now-besides women and children. It
is not wise for few to attempt to thrust this
multitude out of their goodly company and
the effort to do it, if the effort shall be made,
will only hinder the good cause"
We commend the above to some inauisi
torial souls not so far from indianapolis as
Cincinnati.

"TURN THE RASCALS OUT.u

To one not acquainted with the character
of the Democratic party, the frequent revela-
lions of corruption, dishonesty and incompe-
tency since it came into power but few
months ago, would appear the irony of fate, a
rebuke, self administered, for long years of
abuse heaped upon honest and faithful Off
Gals. To those who are versed in American
politics, however, the discovery of so many
bad men, even this soon after their appoint
ment, is but symptom of the disease
Democracy. 1t is characteristic of
that party; and, instead of abating
as time progresses these symptoms
will multiply, and the degree of ofense will
increase as time passes. There is no campaign
bitterness in this prediction, but the nature
of that party warrants it. Made up, as it is,
OF the worst elements of society, commanding
the help and sympathy of the GUNNER" ele-
ment, and pledging, openly or tacitly, to
respect the wishes of the 'libera" and vicious,
it has gathered to itself the refuse of the
people, and depends upon them for political
existence. Having at last won a campaign
by reason of the apathy Of a few
Republicans and the revengeful egotsm
of others, the Democratic party, in dividing
the spoils, has had to throw sop to its lawless
men. Moving with the caution that a knowl-
edge of these fellows compelled the admins

The Boston Herald points to the act of Mr.
Cleveland, in removing the Democratic post
master of Hazelhurst, Miss, for offensive
partisanship and maintains that the Presi-
dent proves thereby that he is entirely OBJ
posed to interference with the ballot in the
South. Upon the same convincing line of ar
gument it may be held that the President,
by his pardon of Mullen, the Cincinnati man
who unlawfully kept $50 men from the polls,
is in favor of interference with the ballot in
the North. It's a poor rule that doesn't work
alike on both sides of the Ohio river.

THE Chicago Tribune says: "What the
Legislature of Wisconsin needs to do is to
pass high-tax bill at its next session, allow
ing prohibition in any town where it can be
enforced, making the tax uniform $500; or
high enough to act as q strong and effective
restriction upon the traffic" This is the
method that all who believe in restricting the
svils growing out Of the drink traffic to a
minimum can unite upon.

We call attention to letter dated Parke
hibitionist. His attention has been aroused
anew upon the question, and he Endorses the
suggestion made in the Journal few days
ago, that there is question Of morality in
volved in the right of any community or com
bination of nmunities to vote the free and
unrestricted traffic of liquor upon another
community, merely for the qualification of an
alleged "principle" We do not believe this
position can be soundly antagonized by any
one who will give it a careful and impartial
consideration: To secure prohibition in To-
cality where the sentiment is largely
favorable to it, and it can be actually
enforced, it is not only not necessary,
but, to our thinking is positively immoral, to
fasten upon another community all the trouble
and expense incident to the unregulated, un-
restrained traffic in intoxicants This has
been the history, and is the present expert
ence, of every prohibitory law, so-called, of
general character. The practicable method of
dealing with the liquor traffic, so as to be just
to all the people, is in another direction, and
the thought of the country is rapidly turning
that way. Prohibition" as it is popularity
known, has reached it's crisis, and will never
again be so strong as it has been.

The following is the statement of the law re-
garding strikes aud other similar combinations
made by Judge Krekel, of the United States
District Court, in his charge to the grand jury
for the Western district of Missouri:
"a postal or other railroad car in which mail
matter is conveyed falls within the meaning of
carrier as used in the act of Congress Our
mails are mostly carried by railroads, and the
government enters into contracts with them for
that purpose. These railroads employ large num-
bers OF men and considerable machinery to carry
on their business, including the carrying of mail
matter. Strikes occur these roads, often
seriously interfering with the carrying OF the
mails Employees of railroads engaged on trains
carrying mail matter may, at proper times,
quit work, and if, in consequence of their
doing so, the mails delayed, they do not
thereby commit an offense against the laws of
the United States. Strikers may induce their
colaborers engaged on mail trains to join them,
under the limitation stated, without committing
an offense against the postal laws, though the
consequences be the obstruction retarding Of
the mail But employees of railroads, as we'll as
other persons, cannot improperly interfere with
the instrumentalites usually employed and
necessary for the conveyance of mails be it car
riers or machinery, without laying themselves
liable. Nor is it any excuse that the men Or
machinery used in carrying the mail are at the
same time employed for other purposes. Mails
could not be carried at the rates they are if
special trains and instrumentalities had to be
provided. TO compel such employment by d-
rect or indirect means would ser-
ously interfere with our mail facil-
tiles. system Of name foreign to our
| institutions and language, known in Ireland as
boycottine. has sought to be introduced among
us means of compelling concessions in mat
tiers of conflicting interests. Combinations of
the kind are not unlawful, so long their eX
elusive purpose is to foster the interests of their
own members. But if the object of the comb
nation is or embraces objects the necessary effect
of which is interfering with others rights, the
combination becomes a conspiracy and may be
dealt with as such"
