The ease of Joseph koolantz was
brought to the attention of the board.
the said Koolantz having been shipped

the auditor was directed to take charge
of the matter as above set out.

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1900-05-07

This is a recent addition to the list OF
Indiana books, its author being Mr.. James
s. Barcus, of Terre Haute. and its publish
ers the Bowen-Merrin Company. The book
itself is a clever contribution to current po-
litical discussion, il being an ingenious pre-
sentation of the arguments for and against
national expansion, with special reference
to the question OF holding the Philippines.
The subject is treated from three points OF
view, viz: as a question Of law, involving
the constitutional right TO acquire new ter
ritory: second, as a question of fact. involv-
ing military, naval and commercial inter-
ests; third, as a question OF humanity. in
volving considerations Of right and duty.
All of these questions are treated quite
fully and I'm a manner showing considerable
familiarity with the legal. historical, POI
ltical and commercial aspects of the case.
The subject matter of the work. while well
presented, is not as original as the ma
chinery or manner of its presentation. This
is of a kind calculated to catch and hold
the attention. Briefly, Ii is in the form OF
a public debate at a mass meeting of the
people, in which Patriot takes one side
and Pessimist the other. while Uncle Sam
acts as presiding officer or moderator of the
meeting. OF course, Patriot gets the best
Of the argument, but Pessimist's side is
fairly and well presented. Tn construction
of the book somewhat resembles that OF
Coins" treatment of the money ques-
ton. and the whole argument makes
strongly for a broad and patriotic view OF
national duty.

Our war with Spain. and especially the
ease with which we demolished her navy.
bred a sort of contempt in the American
mind for everything Spanish. In some re-
spects this is well founded. but 1t must not
be forgotten that Spain has a record in art
and literature and that her people pos
sess some fine qualities. A reminder OF this
is a story by Senior Armando Palacio VAL
des. entitled in Spanish. La Algeria del
Captain Ribot," or 9Th Joy of Captain
Ribot." Senior Valdes has been called one
of the worlds masters OF fiction. and this
story is certainly a masterpiece in respect
of artistic conception and treatment. The
scene is laid I'm Valencia, one of the earth's
famous garden spots, where the touch OF
the classic hand, laid upon the spot ages
ago. yet fingers Captain Ribot, the hero
of the story. commands a steamer plying
between Barcelona and Hamburg. and is
the guest OF a civil engineer, Marti. The
story might nave been called "A Married
Woman" for In Cristina Marti. wife of the
engineer. the author has presented a noble
type of the true and devoted wife. The
motive Of the story is a protest against the
too common vice Of the French novel. and
in carrying out this idea the author has
produced a story pure and elevating IN its
moral tone and interesting for its fine
character drawing and its skillful mingling
of comedy with the darker shades of life.
The translator, Minna G. Smith, has turned
the story into English that runs as smooth
ly as the course OF the story itself. New

what il means. but nobody stops to think
gin is. The raising Of this question furnished
the turning point of the case decided by the
Chicago court. A party to a suit in a lower
court resisted payment of a claim based on
an order which the party had 30. KID.
but which. when the pinch came. they re-
fused to pay on the ground that the letters
were not binding, or in other words that
they did not mean anything. This required
the court to investigate the origin of the
formula. One tradition is that they were
originally used by President Andrew Jack
son as an Authorization of A Correct"
which he chose to spell "On Korrect-"
Probably this is a campaign lie. Another
tradition traces the use of the letters to
to have signed treaties with the initials 20.
X" There is no confirmation of this tradi-
ton, either. The fact is the origin Of the
formula is not only obscure but unknown,
yet its meaning under all circumstances Is
distinct and web known. The Chicago court
tooh tndt view, anu therefore neIu tndt the
phrase was as binding in law as any form
of words. Whatever may be thought of
the explanation as to the history or origin
of the term" said the court. 'the definition
undoubtedly gives what is the universal
conception and understanding" The deini-
ton referred to is that In a standard au-
thority, though the phrase did not appear
in any dictionary until recently. Diction-
aries and appellate courts are two author
tiles from which there is no appeal, and as
they agree in this case the meaning of 80.
K" may be regarded as settled without
reference to the origin of the phrase. 1t is
one of many examples in which words or
phrases of obscure origin used first as slang
and then for a long time collcquially as a
matter of convenience, finally receive for
NAL recognition as words Of respectable
birth and good breeding. The decision of
the court does not make the meaning of o.
X. any palmer than it was before, but it
makes the letters as binding in law as a
whole page full of writing.

There is no more senseloss and con-
temptible form of vandalism than that
which leads some people to deface monu-
ments or memorials by chipping off bits
for souvenirs or by scratching their initials
so deeply that they cannot be erased. 1t
goes without saying that no person pos
sessed of a little bit of decency would do
such a thing. yet the number of persons
who do it is surprising. The Washington
Post says that by such acts of vandal-
ism, running through many years, the ex-
monument have been mutilated and dam
aged to the extent of over s25, 900. Out of
Ia tablets cemented into the walls of the

a bridegroom broke off a piece of one Of

over a foot. He was arrested and fined
$40. a part of the broken stone found on
his person being produced in evidence.
Similar acts of vandalism have been at
tempted on the soldiers monument in this
city, and it requires constant vigilance On
the part Of its protectors to prevent them.

in the community socially. politically and
religiously stand in the way of the laws
enforcement. The laxity in enforcing the
law is due to the fact that public sentiment
does not sustain rigid enforcement, and
the law is openly violated.
1t is the same regarding other laws; If pub
lie sentiment does not sustain them their
enforcement is well-nigh impossible. Law
should not precede public opinion.

in January. 1867, the right of suffrage in
municipal elections was given to negroes.
This may not have been a wise measure.
but 1T was made necessary by the logic of
events. II probably tended to bring about
a change in the form of government. In
1871 Congress passed an act abolishing the
old municipal government and creating a
territorial government with a governor ap-
pointed by the President. a council of
eleven, appointed by the President. n a
house of twenty-five delegates, to be elect
ed by the people. This form of government
appointed three commissioners to oversee
the affairs of the District and Professionally
abolished the governorship and the terri
torial system. This arrangement also was
short lived. In 1878 Congress passed an act
vesting the government of the entire Dis
trict of Columbia. including the cities of
Washington, Georgetown and the adjacent
country, in three commissioners. one to be
an army officer of the engineer corps de-
tailed by the President and the other two
Nii1cho vi "dohii6tohs oioo W ~ oPPoiA'
ed by the President and confirmed by the
Senate. These commissioners appoint all
the subordinate officers in the government.
There is no council and not an elective Of
flee in the government. Congress makes
all laws for the District, but the commits
sioners are authorized to make police regu-
lations, building regulations and other reg
~ulations of a municipal nature The tax
levy and the appropriations for the city
government are made by Congress, but the
revenues are collected and disbursed by or
der of the commissioners. The tax rate in
the entire District of Columbia Is $3.50, and
no other city in the country has more to
show for it's taxes thar Washington, for it
is certainly one of the best improved, best
policed and best governed cities in the
country, with a school system surpassed
by none and every municipal interest care
fully safeguarded. In these circumstances,
and considering the experience of the past
and of other cities, it is not surprising that
staid and conservative citizens of Wash
ington. who care more for good govern
ment than they do for the hurrah Of poll
tics or the fun of voting, should object to
the restoration of the franchise and popu-
lar government.
