There ought to be some provision
made for the people of the state to
learn what the laws passed by the legis-
lature are. The publication of the
same in newspaper is a matter due to
the taxpayers, who are frequently put
to expense and trouble in learning
what the new laws contain. If small
allowance was made for the news
papers they would not be long in get
ting the laws before the whole people.
The expense would certainly meet the
approval Of the taxpayers as much. if
not more, than many items for other
expenses Genesee News.

entered complaint before Police Judge
BTumbaugh that he had been robbed
by ore of the girls in the tender lOin
district A warrant issued. and about
8 o'clock p. m. the case was called.
Oleson, the Parma Swede, swore that
while making a business call at the
house of the accused woman, he had
been robbed of S.; she denied the
charge. There being no other wit
ness, the court ordered that the
woman return the So and pay costs.
The woman demurred. Said she did
not fitch the Swede's money. Court
was firm. Woman said money was
hard to get these days; that she had to
work hard for her money. Court re-
manned obdurate and committed the
woman to the county Jail until the
amount of the damages was liquidated
at $3.50 per day. The total assessed

THE DISTRICT COURT.

A Quiet Term-Few People Attend
Only One Jury CaSe-Hand Not Guilty
Important Water Case Set For June
10.
District court convened last Monday
afternoon. Present: Judge Geo. H.
Stewart, District Attorney q. NJ. Hays,
Clerk w. q. Dunbar, Jr., and Sheriff
w. II. Taylor. 1t soon developed that
the term would be an unusually tame
one. The number of lawyers from the
outside was small. The local lights
we're out in force. The only case in
which there has been any public inter
(st was the case against Col. G. A
Hand, charged with stealing public
records. So much publicity was
given to the affair at the
time it occurred that it is unneces-
sary to refer to it at length The local
bar is represented by John T. Morrison,
Frank j. Smith, Rice q Griffiths, L. l.
Feltham and G. H. Reed Among the
visiting lawyers have been Thomas
Catalan, Tommy Jones. IL johnson,
w. E. Borah, Frank Estabrook and
Judge Richards.
The insolvency case of Isador Mayer
was continued for the term. The case
of George w. Williams against Stand
ard Gold Recovering Co. and d. d.
Campbell was settled Kate i. Robert
son got judgment against Virgil E.
Green. Eleanor Huff got judgment by
default against Albert A. Holcomh,
sum of 1921. Christopher Fahy got

practice. The case of the People and
Feltham against Hawley was Contin
ued for the term. This is case grow
by the County Commissioners in the
Roman murder case. Fung Chung
Lung and George Newell settled their
placer ground difficulty and case was
dismissed. d. d. Campbell is billed
for two cases against the County Com
missioners growing out of the deputy
| business. COnda Wilson wants di-
VOrce from her husband Willie and
pending proceedings was allowed ali
mOny at $50 per month. The feature
of the term thus far, the Hand case,
came on for trial Thursday morning.
A jury was empanneled. After all the
evidence and arguments were in, the
court instructed the jury to find a YER
diet of not guilty on the grounds that
it was not shown in the evidence that
Mr.. Hand did not have permission to
take the assessment roll and other re-
cords out of the assessors Office. The
Judge held that the prosecution must
show that Mr.. Hand in removing the
records did so without authorization
This the prosecution failed to do. hence
there was nothing to do but find the
defendant not guilty. Court will prob.
ably adjourn early next week until the
10th of June when a special term will
be held to decide a very important
water case arising out of some contro-
versy among Emmett and Willow

Penalties OF Greatness.

Social Washington is greatly agitat-
ed, it appears over the determination
reached by the wives of the members
us the present cabinet not hereafter to
supply free refreshment to the multi
tudes that attend their public recep-
tions. This anti-free-lunch trust was
organized ii seems, soon after the Chi
nese minister was compelled to sprinkle
red pepper all over his mansion 20 keep
the hungry hordes from eating him out
of house and home: but we take it
that it does not come within the pro-
h'bitiOn Of the Sherman antitrust act,
for the wife of the venerable secretary
of state is quoted in a current dispatch
as saying:
Il knew of a Western congressman
Cnce who, having received an invita-
tion to a reception, went and took nine
frieIds with him. OF course, no invi-
tations are issued for cabinet recep-
lions. They are open to the public.
Eronr experience of ladies of fCrmer
cabinets, we are led to suppose that
the crowds will be much less numer-
Gus if no refrc shmerns are provided.
You have doubtless heard stories of
instances where guests, after d!sDOs-
ing of the contents OF one plate, would
hide it urder curtain or chair and
receive another. I think that more
than one lady of the last cabinet had
queer experiences of this kind, | have
lee' told Of receptions in Washington
whore refreshments We're served, and
men nut salted almonds and candies
into their pockets There was one case
where woman was seen to slip a piece
Of cake adroitly into her pocket hand
kerchief, and, on perceiving that her
action had been noticed, she dropped it
on the floor. From my own drawing
room once disappeared during a recep-
tion a handsome pair of opera glasses,
and on another such occasion a valu-
able fan vanished"
No doubt these little social ameni-
ties are annoying, but do the leaders
Of the present revolution comprehend
fully what they are doing? Have they
meditated sufficiently upon the hazard
which they take in locking the larder
and boiling the wine cellar in the face
of the hungry and thirsty myrlads
that dog the footsteps and hang as 1t
We're up"n the skirts and coat-tails of
greatness? Is not this a government
of the people, by the people and for the
people? And are not the people
chiefly represented by the grand army

racy tamper with it at it's peril!

Those Chamber Concerts.

We take pleasure in giving conspicu-
Gus place this morning to the timely
letter bv Professor Southworth pro-
testing against the proposed abandon
ment of the Chamber concerts previ-
ously announced for this winter and
calling upon the public generally and
music teachers and their pupils es-
pecially to come to the rescue. Every
word in the professors communication
deserves to be underscored. To per-
init this admirable means OF public
entertainment and instruction to be
eXtingushed because of the lack of
sufficient financial appreciation in a
community assuming the name and
manners of metropolitan city would
be a public humiliation. 1t must not
he.
The position of Messrs. Hemberger
and Cunant i'm this matter should not
be misunderstood. As we take it, they
have given their time and talents to
the work freely and with an enthusi-
asm which has conquered many OBJ
s'acles and disaupontments But ii
can hardly be expected of them that
after organizing the concerts, super
VisinE the many details, contributing
freely the time required for practice
and finally donating their service as
artists. they should reach into their
own pockets to bridge the disparity
between cash receipts and unavoidable
expenses. For what they have done
the public is already indebted to de-
gree which if expressed in figures
would measure a generous sum. The
simplest rudments of fair play should
acQuit them Of any blame i'm declining
after this poorly requited term of pub
lie service to enter upon another sea-
son of martyrdom.
Their announcement of a reluctance
to endue further sacrifice should put
the music-lovers of Scranton, if there
he such an element in the community,
upon their honor. Now is the time for
friends of the higher progress of Scran-
ton to step to the front or hereafter
hold their peace.

A Chance for the Cheese Knife.

The role of cheese -parer is not al
ways a popular one with the classes
whose soft snaps are menaced, but
upon occasions it is necessary. Such
an occasion has been reached in the
affairs of the United States and the
Republican party must act according
ly, Fortunately if by trimming down
federal expenses it shall make some
enemies In official circles it will find
more than compensation in increased
popularity among the people.
During the hard times every bust

cept the government. The government
increased them, experienced a deficit,

National Supervision of insurance.

An interesting bill has been intro
duced in congress by Senator Platt, of
Connecticut. 1t proposes to establish
in the Treasury department a division
for the regulation of insurance among
the several states. The head of the
proposed division is to be known as
the United States commissioner of in
surance. to he appointed by the presi-
dent for a term of four years. He is
to inquire into the management and
financial condition of all the Insurance
corporations which do an interstate
business. and is given broad powers of
investigation. Beginning with Janu-
ary, 1899, he is to secure from all life
insurance companies a list of life poll
icies then in force. their value, etc. a
government aCtuary is provided for to
compute valuations, and small charge
is made on the insurance companies to
cover this item of expense. The COM
missioner is also to keep track of for
eign laws relating to insurance; to pro-
hibit insolvent companies from doing
interstate business, etc. He is to make
similar reports as to fire insurance
companies.
If this measure shall he pushed a
vigorous protest on the score of un-
cOnstitutiOnality may he expected; but
reasoning by analogy it would seem
that if the federal government may
exercise the power Of scrutiny and
regulation over interstate commerce it
may with equal prOpriety cause in
quiry to be made for the protection Of
those of its citizens who purchase in
terstate insurance. Insurance these
days has come to be so widespread a
necessity and has enlisted so gener-
| ally the savings of the people that,
! like banking, it cannot be put by the
| force Of law on too strong a basis of
| safety and solvency. The general gov
| ernment does not rely wholly upon
state authority to protect the patrons
of banks. 1t has cause to know that
! state supervision of banking is very
uneven, amounting in some states al
| most to no supervision at all There
! fore it takes unto itself the supervision
of banks organized under national law
and thereby virtually forces state
| banks to observe the same high stand
ards or suffer in competition with the
national banks.
In similar manner. federal supervis-
ion of insurance would doubtless tend
not only to protect patrons of the COM
panies directly involved, but also COM
pei the local companies to do business
ION the square" We cannot see why
any well-manaeed insurance company
should object to the principle of the
Platt bill The better the standing OF
a company in the official reports, the
better its chances of doing a growing
| business.
