Issue IL limited ~ political condf tions, d
affiliations It was much broader prop
osition that brought the people to the sup
port Of the Democratic candidates. The
real trouble was the VIGOROUSLY bad gov
eminent that has afflicted this city in the
recent past.
This is the truth and it devolves
upon the newly elected Democratic
city government to give the people the
honest administration and the reforms
for which they voted and which they
were promised. Good men have been
elected and these pledges, the Register
feels confident, will in due time be re-
deemed satisfactorily.
The institution of good government
in SO badly managed a city as Park
ersburg, however, is not the work of
day, and the intelligent people of
that city will not expect miracles Of
the new regime.
1t must be borne in mind however
that honest and faithful government
and the redemption of pledges made to
the people will be the test of future
Democratic supremacy.

A VICTORY FOR WIFE BEATERS.

A decision was rendered by Judge
Peabody in the st. Louis police court
the other day that will be a comfort
to that class of husbands who find re-
lief from the monotony of marital ex-
istence in beating their wives. Judge
Peabody holds that under certain con-
ditiOns husband has the right to beat
his wife. The case was of one Per-
nard Kretzer, charged with beating his
wife because she would not agree with
him in the management of their chill
dren.
Judge Peabody said in passing judg-
ment: I'm this case the wife was more
guilty than the husband for trying to
contradict and thwart her husbands
and setting them bad example, which
he had a right to rebuke. There are
times when a wife initiates her husband
to such an extent that he cannot con-
troll himself and uses his hand or fist.
AS long as no serious harm is done, l
don't believe in punishment"
A Daniel come to judgment! Let
wife heaters throughout the land take
courage! While various communities
have been talking of re-establishing
the whipping post for the adequate
punishment of those male bipeds who
find comfort in laying heavy hands on
the tender flesh of their weaker and
defenseless spouses, here is judge who
finds excuse and comfort for what man
ly men from time immemorial have re-
garded as inexcusable and cowardly to
the very last degree.
Maybe the handspring of Judge Pea
body's action is to be found within the
light of his own fireside and in ruling
for the community at large his judg-
ment may be warped by the bitterness
Of his own individual experience
And again possibly he is a believer
in that Mother Goose aphorism, which
has stood the test of time and which
runs to the effect that "A woman. a
horse and a stick of candy-the more
you lick EN- the better they 60"

The Russian famine - on scale
which Europe Is only Just beginning to
realize. All the provinces Of the mid
die volga district, thousands Of square
miles in extent and in the center of the
empire, are on the verge of starvation. =
He adds that "in some localities the
seed wheat supplied by the government
has been used for food and that by the
admission of the Russian Red Cross
Society % per cent. of the destitute
have no prospect of any official assist
ance and must either be supported by
private charity or die
This is another explanation of the
high price of wheat, for Russia after
the United States is the chief source
of supply for the grain importing coun-
tries of Europe.
These are the cause.-the sole
causes, it may truthfully be said-of
our present commercial and industrial
boom. When the farmer. who is the
foundation rock of our business and
industrial structure, has money bust
ness and industry boom.
The question is how much speculative
imitation will the boom stand before it
bursts? Already it is estimated that
the amount of wind and water in the
various industrial enterprises now
floating is equal to several times the
combined actual values back of all the
commerce and manufacture of the Uni
ted States.
How long can this state of affairs
last before the collapse comes? How
long will the crop money of the west
ern farmer support this tremendous
top-heavy burden?
This is the question that intelligent
business men are asking Normal con-
ditions will return in Russia and In
ola. Indeed, it is expected that the
new Siberian railway will open up a
new and vast and fertile territory of
enormous extent capable of producing
a tremendous surplus for the worlds
markets, thus making Russia a more
than ever formidable competitor OF the
United States in the worlds grain
markets. In fact present conditions
may be entirely reversed ere next har-
vest time, and banks that now are sail
ing gayly along with wind and tide
will be lying on the bottom hopeless
wrecks when the high tide of specula-
ton and imitation recedes.

HOT LITTLE MAN

With Large Nerve.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Il was on a chair car in Texas few
said a New Orleans business man,
when a typical frontier tough got
aboard He was g. little chap, but pow
erfully built, and about half drunk.
AS soon as he came in he drew a re-
volver that looked as big as a stove
pipe and bawled out: Tn the hottest
any galoot on the train There were
some ladies at the far end of the car,
and a good-looking man, who was with
them, half rose as If to put a stop to
the disturbance. He reconsidered the
enterprise, however, and sent for the
conductor instead. Meanwhile the
wandering eyes of the stranger lit on
the head rests Of the chairs, which
were rounded, padded disks about
foot across. Naturally they were sug-
gestive of targets and he proceeded to
draw a bead on several. The occupants
promptly sought seclusion under the
seats, greatly to the edifcation of the
bad man with the gun. Wow! VOW
he roared. I'm the hottest gent in
Texas. Watch me plug that Teller in
the heel! The passenger referred to
crawled hastily into the wood box, and,
to tell the truth, we were all in state
Of pitiable funk. Just then the con-
ductor came walking briskly in. He,
too, was a little fellow, but he had a
voice like megaphone. Where's that
had man?' he doomed. We held our
breaths and looked for a tragedy in
stanter. Here I am, yelled the other
chap. 'Yow I'm the hottest Yes, I
heard about that said the conductor,
walking right up to him, gimme that
gun To my amazement the stranger
permitted him to take it without the
least resistance. Now, look here the
conductor went on. you're too warm
for this car. We've got a stove here,
ard you make it unpleasant. So you
get right out on that platform, blast
your eyes, and stay there until you
lose some of your heat The hot man
meekly allowed himself to be propelled
through the door. and stayed on the
platform all the rest of the trip. The
men inside looked at each other rather
sheepishly, and I asked the conductor
confdentially how he dared take such
chances. oh there wasn't any risk
he said. I had the fellow sized up.
If he had been somebody else I might
have acted differently. One Of the first
things you've got to learn in this bust
ness is how to tell a buffer"
