Philanthropist Hartley wants
to make the poor devils who
walk over the new bridge pay
toll. Then his company can
catch their nickels whether they
ride or whether they walk. Well,
so long as Mr.. Hartley's COM
pany owns the bridge that's all
right, but when the tables are
turned and the two cities super
sede CHS aggregation of philan-
thropists as proprietors, it won't
work at all. Just when the
bridge changes owners the ex-
action of tolls becomes a great
outrage. A commendable bust
ness policy in the twinkling Of
an eye becomes a bold, bad rob-

The grand jury has returned
two indictments against Ex-
County Commissioner Albert
Swenson. Both are for thesame
offense, but one charges that he
solicited a bribe and the other
that he agreed to accepta bride.
The matter grows out OF an
effort to secure the payment by
the county of certain claims
against the St. Louis county
agricultural associa tons for
material and labor on the fair
grounds, one being for $3.50
to G. H. Dibbell & Son, and
another $3.50 to J. H. Noyes &
Co. To these were added an ap-
preparation Of $500 by the
county for the benefit of the
county fair. making the total
1920. 1t is charged that Mr.
Swenson proposed and agreed
for q consideration of 10 per
cent of the amount to secure the
allowance of the claims. Mr..
Swenson was arraigned Tues
day and given until Friday to
Mead. Bail was fixed at $500.

The question of the expedien-

The question of the expedien-
cy of municipal ownership
of gas works having again been
raised in several of our great
cities, the latest facts as to
Philadelphia's experience in
this business are interesting.
It appears that for the last
year the receipts of the Phila-
delphia gas bureau at ST per
thousand feet, were $3,155,956.
The current expenses were 49,
985,514. This leaves net
profit of $170,443, of which
$54,589 was expended in perma
nent improvements in connec-
ton with the gas plant, and
$115,854 was added to the
revenue of the city available
for other departments. In ad-
dition to this, the city gets it's
gas free to an amount which, IT
sold at the usual rate, would
have added to the city treasury
1888. 498. It will have to be al
lowed that this is an altogether
favorable showing, not only for
the municipal ownership of
gas plants, but for dollar gas as
well.

The Law.

Mr.. Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the A. r. L., in a recent
address expressed the opinion
that the law of supply and de-
mand is not immutable be-
cause it could be modified, and
that the lawo of gavitation could
also be modified by supplying a
mattress for man to alight on
when jumping from a three
story building. Modifying the
effect of a law and modifying
the law itself, are two very
different things.
The great federation of labor
of which Mr.. Gompers is presi-
dent, in it's recent convention
suggested, so far as we are in
formed, no method whatever to
modify either the law of sup
ply and demand or the law of
gravitation. Certainly neither
strike nor boycott modifies the
law of supply and demand, and
when a man loses his job and
falls into the pit of id1eness,
who supplies the mattress upon
which he may alight.
Take for instance the CON-
pressed air engines to be used
as soon as they can be manu-
featured, on the New York ele-
waited railroads, by which at
least hundred firemen will be
thrown out of employment and
twice as many more engaged
in handling coal, in what way
is the law of supply and de-
mand to be modified?
Take the thousands and one
labor saving machines which
daily multiply idle hands and
increase the demand abn0rm-
ally for employment, and in as
great ratio decrease opportun~
tiles for employment even at
starvation wages, and then ask
the A. F. of L. how it proposes
to modify the law of supply
and demand, and the answer is
silence.

How voic..ic Eruption. Are Caused.

The question as to whether the at.
traction of the moon has any influence
upon the action of volcanoes is one up
on which scientists differ. Bischoff s
theory as to volcanic eruptions is the
one generally accepted as correct-i. e.,
that the immediate cause of volcanic
action is due to the fact that water per-
colates through assures in the surface
down to the hot regions beneath, where
it is made steam at high pressure and
forces for itself passage through the
superintendent crust, urging with il
molten matter and the debris caused in
the uphcGyal Of the strata to produce II
vent. If this theory be accepted, it
would seem that the attraction of the
moon has little or nothing to 90 with
volcanic movements, unless it can be
said that the moon, which causes high
tides and therefore facilitates the adj.
mission Of the waters of the ocean to
the interior of the earth, has thereby
caused the volcanic eruption. 1t appear
from observations that earthquakes,
which usually proocde and indicate nc
tivity in volcanoes, more frequently
happen at the time Of full moon. But
this of itself cannot be regarded as
evolving general law.

ABOUT GUNS.


How TO Care For Them aud Prevent Rust
ing After Use.
NJ " people go to unnecessary labor
in caring for their guns, and then per
haps have them spoiled after all. Guns
get rusty inside, and fine gun-either
shotgun or rifle-is spoiled when it be-
comes rusted and rough inside. 1t is a
very easy and simple matter to prevent
gun from rusting inside if the proper
course is taken. Never wet or dampen
the gun inside after firing the last shot,
but in place of damp or wet rag use n
rag or bristle brush with plenty Of good
oil. The brush or rag should not fit too
tightly to the bore Run through two or
three times, put the gun away day or
two to give the oil time to loosen what
dirt may be in the gun, and then wip
the dirt out with dry rag and put IN
new rag with little oil on it, Many
people wash IA gun out with much labor
and care and think they have dried it
perfectly, only to see after all their Ia.
Dor that the gun is rusty inside and
much damaged. OF course it is expected
that water shall be used when shooting
at target or from the trap, but put 10
water or dam pness in the gun after the
last shot. AS to the kind of oil to use
in gun, almost any kind Of animal oil
will do Vegetable oils or fluids are
good for nothing to preserve iron OF
steel. Many times one can procure goou
oils from coons, chucks or bears, if one
knows how TO get it out in the proper
way so as not to have it cummy and
sticky. Oils should never be heated and
tried out. Take the fat from the animal
place it on board and with a sharp
knife cut it up fine; then warm it a lit
tie and place it in strong cloth and
force it out by pressure. A shot bag is
good thing to use, and couple Of
pieces of narrow boards with leather
nailed on one end to hold them togeth-
er. Put the strainer between the boards
and squeeze the oil out. You will thus
have some limpid oil that will preserve
guns nicely.

How the Golden Gate of California OBJ
tanned Its Name.

The Golden Gate is the namo given
to the strait connecting the harbor of
San Francisco with the ocean and was
so called because through that gate
flowed nearly the whole of the immense
tide of seekers for the precious metals,
as well as the rich product Of their Ia
Dor. 1t would be difficult to estimate
the immense number Of adventures
who during tho gold fever passed
through the Golden Gate into the Gland
of gold' or to even approximate the
value Of the gold which issued forth
through this gate so happily named, 1t
is rather strange that the boundless
mineral wealth Of California should not
have been ascortained till about the
nineteenth century.

TO MICRONESIA.
Morning Star Sails With Mission =
aries for the South Seas.


aries for the South Seas.
The missionary packet Morning Star,
L. Bray master, sailed at about ID. m.
yesterday on her regular annual trip
to the islands of Micronesia She took
four missionaries, who go to labor
among the natives, and a number of
the islanders returning to their homes.
The Star is in first-rate condition and
fully prepared for the work on which
she goes.
AT a. m. in the morning a religious
service was held aboard the Morning
Star. There were present about a hun
dred people interested in missionary
work.
The meeting was opened by Rev. o.
p. Emerson, who announced the hymn
Onward, Christian Soldiers" Next
came a prayer by Rev. d. p. Birnie,
and then another song
Rev Hiram Bingham, having been
called upon for a few remarks, traced
briefly the work of the missionaries
on these Islands, from the time of the
landing of the first missionaries in
1920, told of the sending of missions
aries from Hawaii to Micronesia, and
the work that had been done for
Christ. He then closed with a few
words of encouragement to the mis-
sionarieS, who were leaving on the
Morning Star to work among the peo-
pie of Micronesia. The speaker called
special attention to Rev. Mitchell, who
leaves sick wife and children in Ho-
nolulu to go to one of the Gilbert ISL
ands to relieve two Hawaiian mission
aries, in order that they might be able
to return for a vacation to their home
here. He spoke of the work as being
nothing akin to child's play. 1t was
hard, persistent labor.
After another song, Rev. G. M. Hyde
spoke few words of encouragement
to the departing missionaries, calling
their attention to the fact that the
work they were about to enter was for
the strengthening of their own charac-
ters and the kingdom of God upon
earth.
The benediction was then pronounced
and the meeting was at an end.

FIRED SHOTS.
Murphy, Restaurant Man, Sees
a Hand at the Window.

Between and 3 o'clock yesterday
morning, two shots, in rapid success
sion, rang out clear on the stiffness of
the night. Lieutenant Kekai and a
mounted patrolman went in the direc-
tion of the shots and found that they
had come from a house on the corner
of Alakea and Queen streets.
1t seems that man by the name OF
Murphy, connected with the California
restaurant, went home shortly before
the shots were fired, and saw coming
in at the window, near a table, upon
which he had placed his watch, the
hand of a Chinaman. He fired two
shots through the window, and then
ran out, catching the Chinaman as he
was running away.
A scuffie ensued, and the Chinaman
succeeded in getting away. Such was
the story told the officers by Murphy.

DEBs' SPEECH.

The only reason given by Mr..
Debs in his speech last night why
the miners of this region should
strike was that our coal is now
shipped to the markets and is
taking the place of the coal that
ought to be mined by the strik-
ers. This is true, but how does
it affect the situations 1t is a
fact that the striking miners are
the rivals in business of the min
ers of this section and that they
are more favorably situated, that
when business is running in the
regular way.the men who are now
striking have the advantage over
this section by reason of railroad
rates, and always get more than
their just proportion of the work,
and good times for the strikers
do not hold out flattering pros
meets for the men of this section.
Our men are not responsible
for the present situation. They
we're quietly at work trying to
earn an honest dollar and improv-
ing every opportunity that came
to them. Times have been close
with them forthe last six months
and they welcome the chance to
make more money.

THE OPTIMfST.

When President Mckinley re-
Gently said that the optimist was
the happy man and the success
full man he expressed a great
truth, says Leslte's Weekly. There
have been fortunes made on the
wrecks of others, and there have
been gains from policies Of gloom
and predictions of disaster, and
many an unfortunate person has
been scared into a sacrifice which
meant wealth for some one else;
but these things are the calami-
ties of life. The great, big,
bustling, busy world has been
built up by the optimists. The
man Of confidence is the manwhod
has won, the factor who has ac1
complished the impossible and
made civilization outstrip the
miracles. Sometimes the opti-
mist may fail, but he always has
the capital of his own unconquer-
able hopefulness to begin anew,
and he generally succeeds when
he sees the pessimists falling all
around him.
Optimism strung the telegraph
wires, laid the cables. built the
railroads, constructed the ships,
planned and executed a Thousand
great things which have meant
millions upon millions Of wealth
and untold benefits to mankind.
It is the same spirit that gives to
all trade its best motive, to all
employment its finest results.
And now that we are on the
threshold Of better times, it is
the one sentiment that the coun
try needs. The great opportun-
tiles are in the future. In .
country like this. which has Just
begun to grow, wealth, reputa
ton and happiness are all to be-
found in a larger degree than
ever before, and the optimist is
the man who is going to get the
larger share of all these bless
ings.
