The PinkertOns.

The senate Pinkerton investigating
committee met in Chicago last week.
Senator PETER, one of the committee,
was in attendance. The following is
from the Vanguard of November rs.
"Robert and William PinkertOn
found it convenient to be out Of the
city while the committee was here.
Superintendent hurry, of the Pinker-
ton agency, testified that special rates
on men were given corporations like
Carnegie's because they hired so
many He also testified that when
the men were sent to Homestead
Winchester rifles were sent ON ahead
as it was expected the men would
have to shoot strikers The character
Of the Pinkerton employee was testified
to by Detective Bruce, who said there
is not one out Of ten whom you could
not hire TO commit murder or any
other crime and that when the
agency was in trouble the employees
involved had to manufacture evidence
favorable to the agency in order to
retain their positions, aud also that
he would not believe any detective
under oath without having his evil
dence corroborated. Altogether the
testimony before the committee makes
very plain the reason why, as one tes-
titled. "a wOrkingman hates the sight
Of Pinksrton,' but nothing new was
uncovered, aud as aforesaid, nothing
is likely to come Of the investigation.

Think About This.

1t does seem strange 10 me that the
American people should be in debt to
English money lenders to the amount
of &500,000.000 government bonds,
IS. 100, 900, 900 railroad bonds and So
900, 1000, 900 municipal bonds, making
u grand total of $500, 100000 The
interest at as low a rate as per cent
amounts to $S44,000,000 annually.
This means an average interest drain
of over five dollars for each man,
woman and child. The strangest part
Of it all is that little over 100 years
ago the people Of the thirteen Ameri--
can colonies fought aud bled and some
Of them died to establish the right to
make money for America without any
dictation from the English govern
ment. They fought to sever the con-
nection between England and America

The COfTey County Tie Not to Be Dee
cided by Lot.
There seems to be some mistake
about how the tie vote in Cofey
county is to be decided. The general
impression and all advices from To-
peka is that the canvassing board are
to decide iT by lot. They followed
this manner in the Marion county tic
two years ago, but it is difficult to see
where they found any statutory war
rant for so doing. Sections SS and Al,
chapter SO, page 1876, compiled laws,
read as follows
SECTION SO, II any two or more persons
have an equal number Of votes for any state
office, except governor and lieutenant goys
ernor, or for member Of the senate and
house Of representatives, and a higher
number than any other person, the state
canvassets shall proceed to determine, by
lot, IN presence Of the candidates. which Of
the two candidates shall be elected. heas-
enable notice shall be given to such candi-
dates OF the time when such election will be
30 determined; and II such candidates, or
either of them, shall fail to appear, in ac-
cordance with said notice, then the state
canvassers shall proceed to determine said
election in the absence Of the candidates.
SECTION Al. II any two or more persons
have an equal number Of votes for the same
office, except as provided in section thirty
eight Of this act, and higher number than
any other person, the two houses shall, BY
Joint ballot, determine the election; and The
president Of the senate and the speaker Of
the house Of representatives shall deposit II
the office Of secretary Of state a certificate
showing what persons have been elected "a
fill said Offices.
Nothing can appear more conclusive
than that of tie vote on representa-
tive is legally settled only by a join
ballot of both houses. We are neither

wrong. Dollars combine to double
their value. The people are combin-
ing to hold tAeir own. The issue is
here. 1t must be met. To attempt
to evade it is abject folly. To refuse
TO listen to its demands is to invite
disaster. To make the fight in the in
terest of the organized capital against

ton! TO say that the ground-swell is
all caused by demagogues and shysters
is to initiate the inibecility of George
Ill, who regarded Washington as
rebel, Hancock as demagogue and
Patrick Henry as political advent
urer. There are many grains Of golden
truth hidden in the train loads of
buncombe offered by the populist
movement. To disregard those truths
is both unwise and unpatriOtic; and
swings wide open the gateway of
chaos

price of every hog and steer grown on

can dictate the price of cereals of all

twelve dollars a ton for anthracite, is
it any wonder there is revolution
And the tariff had nothing to do with
it.
"The real wonder is that the demo
cratic party-the party of persistant
obstruction. the party Of constant
and continued political retrogression
should receive the benefit of the
awakening. This Is a great country
for varied interests and needs. The

The VOiceless.

We count the broken Tyres that rest
Where the sweet waiting singers slumber,
But ser their silent sisters breast
The wild flowers who will stoop to number?
A few can touch the magic string,
And noisy fame is proud to win them!
Alas for those that never sing.
But die with all their music in them!
Nay, grieve not for the dead alone,
Whose song has told their hearts sad story;
Weep for the voiceless, who have known
The cross without the crown OF gloryi
Not where Leucadian breezes swept
Ger Sappho's memory haunted billow,
But where the stening night dews wept
On nameless orrowis churchyard pillow.
Oh, hearts that break and give no sign,
Save whitening lips and faded tresses,
Till death pours out his cordial wine.
Slow dropp'd from misery's crushing presses
If singing breath OF echoing chord
To every hidden pang were given.
What endless melodies were poured,
As sad as earth, as sweet as heaven!

THE WAY THE MONEY GOES.
It is not surprising to read that there is
extravaganza in the management of the
preparations for the great show at Chicago.
There is a heap of money to spend, and it
is almost inevitable that some of it should
be loosely spent. The Chicago Tribune,
which is, of course, friendly to the fair,
points out some of the ways in which the
money goes. During the month of June
there were 1913 employees in the execu-
tive, director-generars, and construction
departments, involving an expenditure of
1924, sol month for their salaries. There
are, for instance, twenty-five men help
ing the treasurer at cost of 81, ,18S,
and fifteen helping the auditor at a
cost of $1,239. The lawyer of the
fair has five other lawyers to
help him. There are seven men sitting
around to help on the Ceremonies"
Seven doctors are practicing or waiting a
chance to practice. The janitor of the
Worlds fair rooms has eleven assistants.
Ten men are wondering what they shall do
for ethnology, and ten more are eating up
over 1900 a month in running foreign
affairs. No less than fourteen men are
looking after Latin-America, when a third
of them would be plenty; and "publicity
and promotion takes twenty five, of whom
twenty don't earn their salt. The depart
ment of construction also is overrun and
overmanned. There are 318 men to look
after landscape gardening, 1S9 after po-
lice protection, 100 after modelling, 1856
after temporary buildings, and 30 on. A
director of foreign affairs with little to do
yet but draw his salary regularly at the
rate of $1,000 year, a traffic manager
with no traffic to manage who gets 81, 200
year, the head of the Lstin-American de-
partment who renders only nominal ser
vice for S., 900 year, and a choral director
who draws$5 900 a year and has time enough
to keep his private singing classes going.
No wonder there has been q loud cry for
more money!

The Old Sanitartan Talks About the
Advantages of Using whisky.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Good morning. 1 have not addressed
you in some time, because have been 30
very, very busy. All my waking hours
have been occupied with the study of the
interesting microbe, the willy bacteria and
the fascinating micro organism. Occasion
ally for sanitary purposes take short
stroll or ride about the city, and that is all
the time have to learn what is going on
in the world outside my study. In some
of these outings hear things which graft
fly me. I have rejoiced to find that the
public are growing more and more enlight-
ened on sanitary matters and that more
power and more money are voted to the
benevolent scientists who compose the nu-
| merous boards of health which now adorn
and guard our beloved country.
But am sometimes grieved to see and
hear things which denote that the king
dom of sanitary science has not yet fully
| possessed the earth. The other day, while
riding in the horse cars, I overheard a
couple of elderly physicians talking about
sanitary matters. Among other things,
| they discussed the circular issued by the
New York city board of health relative to
the treatment of young children during
hot weather. 1t appeared that these doc
tors had both read that circular, and, in
stead of cordially indorsing its wise advice
to give infants little whisky in the hot
test days, they criticised 1t very severely.
One of them said that ..the prescription OF
whisky, either for the purpose of main.
tanning or restoring health, is a relic Of
ignorant barbsrism." And the other re-
marked: "Those who live in the year 250(
will read in histories that there was tim.
, when mankind was 30 devoid of scientif,
knowledge that they actually gave alco
holic poisons to sick persons in the super
, stitious belief that such foolish cours
! would give them strength to get we'll. o
, course they will read these statements witt
! the same horror and amazement wit
which we now read about the terribl
atrocities which ignorant doctors perpe
:, trated on the sick in the year 1900"
When heard this last remark becam
80 full of righteous indignation that i'm
- mediately jumped off the car for fear
should hear some mooe outrageous Sian
q ders on the sanitarisns. When got owe
o nv excitement and could look at the mat
d ter more philosophically the real troubl
appeared to me. These doctors who d.
nounced the board of health for recon
y mending whisky to be given TO young chi
j, dren mean we'll. The only trouble is thei
n Ignorance If they know what do, the
Tould know that all disease is caused b
D microbes and that whisky is the 9res
:. microbe killer. By careful experiments
l, have found that one drop of good whisk
Ia will kill just 81, 900 microbes. Time an
