AFTER THE COUNTRY EDITOR.

The house recommended for pass
age a bill introduced by Mr.. Brevig,
preventing the collection of a debt
for a newspaper sent to the sub
scriber after the term for which it
was paid has expired. The bill was
not favorably thought of by the
members until Lockwood, Of Pipe
stone, announced himself as a news
paper man, and advocated its pass
age. Taking him for a representa-
tive of the guild and accepting his
opinion as representing that of the
fraternity, the house acted.
Mr. Lockwood is hardly qualified
to speak as a representative news
paper man. He owns paper, to be
sure, just as he owns a store and
a farm, because he found it con-
venient to do so, regarding his prof
its in the political field made by
owning a paper as compenSati ting
for the expense of running it. When
the members hear from the boys who
run papers for a livelihood they
will have a juster opinion Of Mr.
Lockwood as a member of the press
and a diminished regard for his
representative capacity. So much
for Mr.. Lockwood, a good fellow,
but with a fatal tendency to get
ting his foot in his mouth when
he opens it.
The bill is entirely needless Any
subscriber to whom d paper is sent
after the paid term expires need
only refuse to take it from the office,
and the postmaster is required to
notify the publisher that it is re-
fused. If the latter continues send
ing it he cannot recover. The ''in-
nocent purchaser" is therefore amp
ly protected now. Probably Mr..
Brevig was moved to introduce his
bill and members to support it be-
cause Of an impression that pre-
walls, and one which some reck-
less publishers cultivate, that under
the federal law it is a crime for
man to take a paper from the office
and refuse paying for it. There is
no such law or regulation.
The bill, if enacted, will disoblige
subscribers to county papers quite
as much as their publishers. Those
living in the remoter parts of a.
county rarely get to the county seat
oftener than once year, many not
that. 1t is the general custom on
such visits to pay up arrearages on
the paper. It is a mater of conven-
ience to such that the paper con-
tinues coming after the term ex-
pires, and until they have an op-
portunity to visit the town where
it is published. Country publishers
have canvassed the matter of MAX
ing their subscriptions on the cash
basis, discontinuing papers when
the paid time is out; but uniformly,
we believe, they have found it i'm
practicable for the reason above
stated. When the house comes to
understand the matter fully, and
has the opinion of others who are
really newspaper men, and who do
not run papers as a political side
show, it will undoubtedly revoke its
action of Saturday.

THE ,4I RoUNrY TO BE TESTED.


Just as a Minnesota legislature
has voted to take money out OF thes
pockets of the people by the process.
of taxation, to bestow it upon those
who may put their capital into req
f1ning the sugar in the beets TO bes
grown by a few farmers, and while,
the governor is. gravely balancing
constitutional against political arzs
guments before signing or refuSlngs
to sign it, word comes from WASH
ington that the comptroller of the
treasury will refuse to audit the
warrants for the five million sugar
bounty appropriation made by the
last congress, on the ground that
the bounty act is unconstitutional.
This will oblige the refiners and
planters to resort to the courts to
mandamus the multiplying officers and
the supreme court will have TO de-
eide on the constitutionality of the
act. Bound as it is by the prece-
dent of the Topeka case, 1t IS diff
cult to see how, if so disposed, it
can distinguish the cases SO as TO
uphold the bounty act. The pres
ence of Justice White on the bench,
one of the largest benef1c1arles OF
the bounty, and one who, as SEN
ator. retained his seat in congress
after confirmation as justice in or
der that he might aid in securing
protection by the tariff for sugar,
may make the outcome problemat-
ical, if the court divides as it did
on the income tax cases.
Still we have little doubt that the
act will be declared void as an un-
constitutional use of the taxing
power, the limitation on the power
to tax being to raise money for the
debts and the public welfare, and
not for the private welfare of any
class of citizens. Taxation is tax
ing of private property only war
ranted where the purpose is public
and general, and no court has yet:
held that it can be used to take
private property for private pur-
pose. We trust that Mr.. Bowler
will pursue the course indicated. ;.
and let the question be settled.
Meantime, should Gov. Clough ap-S
prove the sugar bounty act, we ap-.
prehend no man will invest any
money under it until the federal
act is sustained by the supreme
court

The good old Pioneer Press is aw-
fully wobbly these days on the ques-
ton of protection. AS a national pol
icy it adheres to the doctrine Of
protection to home industries, but
claims that it is dangerous prin-
ciple for the state to apply to any
one industry, as, for instance, to
ore smelling. One notch further
down it resumes it's protective robes

tax when it comes to the .blackmail

ECASPAR, Wyo., April 1.-THE rise in
the Standard Oil company's product in
the East has caused an advance of 2
cents per gallon at the storage tanks
here. Wyoming oil men are jubilant
over the prospects of a rise In lubricat-
ing oil. which is pumped directly from
the wells in these fields in a market
able condition. All of these oils are
finding a ready market, and it is ex-
pected their prices will go up with the
Standards. Today a sample run of il
Illuminating Oil was made, and it made
beautiful water-white, fully up to the
Standard test. There is considerable
activity in oil land holdings, and there
are many inquiries from Eastern cap
italists. The Salt Creek producing wells
now number five, with another nearly
finished, and material is now in transit
to complete six more.

GOVERNMENT DEMURS.
A Row in the Las Vegas Land
District.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Assist-
ant Attorney General. Hall, of the
interior department, has filed a de-
murrer in the suit brought by JEFF
ferson Reynolds and other citizens
of the Las Vegas land district in
New Mexico, to compel the secretary
to make an order letting contracts
for surveying lands in which the
complainants are interested. A sur
vey of the land was made several
years ago, but was not approved by
the general land office. The de-
murrer alleges that the new survey
was properly ordered by the former
secretary, and that the present sec
retary acted within his power in re-
fusing to make the order; that the
supreme court of the District of
Columbia, where the suit is brought,
has no power to interfere.

The legislature thinks it has pro-
vided for the inspection Of every
commodity upon which it is possi-
BILE to levy a political assessment,
but there is one thing which it has
overlooked. One of the things which
are absolutely necessary to the ex-
iStence of man, and a thing con-
corning which there is a good deal
of complaint at certain seasons of
the year, has not yet been regulated
by any number of sections following
the stereotyped 'Be it enacted" etc.
Reference is made to the atmos-
phere, and it is to be hoped, in the
interest of the party which he repre-
sents,. and for the sake of maintain
ing the party consistency, that Gov.
Clough will grant permission, even
at this late day, for a bill to correct
this sin of omission. AS a further
suggestion, it would be proper for
the author (not the inItroducer) Of
the meat inspection bill to present
a measure for the inspection of the
Minnesota atmosphere, with a rea-
sonable and proper schedule of fees
applying to each locality.

c.pIN THE RANKS.

Rv the sudden death by apoplexy
in New York yesterday OF James
w. Scott, proprietor of the Chicago
Times-Herald, there is removed
from the newspaper ranks a proml-
nent and influential figure. The dif-
ference in the metropolitan papers
of today from what they were tWen-
ty or even fifteen years ago IS IN
a large measure due to the person
ality of Mr.. Scott. The greater range
of topics covered, the enlargement
of the field of work, the invasion OF
the domain of literature, science, the.
arts, added to the legitimate helu
of news gathering, which character
iZe the great papers of today, are the.
result of a movement of which MI
Scott was a leading spirit.
Not a great editor, as was Greeley
or as is Dan or Watterson, strong
personalities in the realm OF pubic
opinion, oversfradowing the papers
they made the vehicle to carry their
judgments to the public, he knew
what was wanted on the editorial
force and provided it, and was
enough the great editor to direct
the policy of his paper on right
lines. With this he had in larger
measure the capacity for manage
ment, for organization; the business
sense or instinct Of a newspaper
man that enables it's possessor to see
the opportunities that come to MIN;
and he had the nerve and enter
prise to seize and utilize them to
their fullest.
1t was the confidence that this
administrative ability commanded
that gave him the backing of men of
capital in all his undertakings. 1t
provided the money that launched
the Herald, which so quickly won a
footing among the papers of the
West, and it was this that secured
for him the support in his latest
venture of merging the Herald with
the Times, a venture calling for the
expenditure of over a million and
quarter With it was a great ca
pacity for work, an energy thai
never wearied, a watchfulness that
never slept.
Politically a Democrat, he was no
time server or tide waiter. He car
ried his Democracy under his own
hat, and felt, as every true news
paper man does. that the party and
its managers owed far more to the
press than it owed them. He never
hesitated to oppose or denounce
men or measures because they bore
the party badge if his judgment
called for opposition to them. Thus
he made first the Herald, and later
the Times-Herald, a force in his
party, his city, his state and the
great Northwest, and his going to
"the undiscovered bourne" leaves a
gap in the ranks of newspaper men
that will not soon be filled.

Was Horribly Burned From Head

WHEELING, w. Va, April 14.-At 2
O'Clock this afternoon the men at work
on the ruins of the Main street build
ings which fell last Tuesday came
upon the body of M. 7. Horan, the
packer who was killed. He was so
completely covered by debris that it
required an hour to uncover his body.
He was horribly burned from head
to foot. The coroner's jury met at
5 p. M, viewed the body and adjourned
until tomorrow. Robert Wincher was
buried at o'clock today by the Ger
man NJ. E. church. The funeral was
one of the largest Of any of the vic
tins. Horan will be buried tomorrow
under the auspices of the A. o. H.
Work on the ruins was suspended as
soon as Horan's body was recovered,
it being the last of the six who are
known to have been killed. There
are persistant runners of other vic
