DAILY WEALTH AT cLARK's MERCY

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 Butte, Mont.-Senator William A. Clark of Montana has the power to force the great Amalgamated Copper Company into bankruptcy and squeeze the fat of tho Standard Trusts monster sponge. Oddly enough, the Senator's old enemy, Marcus Daly, furnished the power that gives Clark the mighty hold he claims can topple the Amalgamated smelters into his own baili- wick. The lever is hewn from the millions of feet of lumber that the Anaeohda com- pany is charged with taking from United States land in Montana. In ten years past, Clark contends, nearly one hundred million dollars worth of timber has been cut off mand, in defiance of federal laws.
 For the first time in his life Clark has absolute control of State politics and his reelection to the United States Senate Is assured He is pledged by his own words and the utterances of his paper the Butte Miner, to prosecute the federal claims against the Amalgamated. Clark has said the case IS clear. He points to mountain sides shorn of their forests, to the great saw mills owned by the Amalgamated in the Bitter Root valley, the Anaconda mines at Butte, the smelters at Anaconda, the vast tract of coal mines at Belt, where the lumber is used, as evidence to base his charges. His complaint before the Senate will charge the Amalgamated Copper Con- pany with purloining young growth, thus preciptating drought injuring sheep rais- ing and making placer mining impossible. dations will be set at one hundred million dollars.

That PrintInq Contract.

The Montgomery Advertiser recalls again its disappointment in losing the contract to print the laws. The matter is as simple as the day is long. The lowest bidder got the contract Money was thus saved to the people and justice done. No statute names the day on which bids shall be re- ceived or opened. The duty of the Secre- tary of State consists in awarding the con- tract to the lowest bidder. He can do this at any time or in any way provided he does 1t before laws are enacted that need to be published. Two years ago he did not award the contract until the 2Sth day of the month This year he did better in point of time. The Advertisers head may be sore, but it's time spot is wholly imaginary.
 The esteemed Advertiser intimates that it would have offered a lower bio under certain circumstances. But why did it try to loot the treasury under any circum- stances? It's bid was fifty per cent higher than the Age-Herald's and now it is cry ing out against it's own bid. It stands con- demned by its own bid. It's confession that IL ndu Dlu nlBn gives away US Wnole Cdse' It was caught in the act, and it should not squeal now
 It's abuse of the Secretary of State and of the Attorney General Is the natural abuse of the rejected bidder and in accord with threats made prior to the awarding of the contract Suitors sometimes appeal from the verdicts of juries by going down to the tavern and swearing at the court between drinks. This method of appeal has been adopted by the Advertiser, but it will prove fruitless just because it did not un- derbid the AgeHerald. The people have no other interest in the matter, and the vituperation of the Montgomery fisherwom- an will not impair the digestion of the Secretary of State or of the Attorney Gen. eral

Annexation at Macon.

The city of Macon, in Georgia, is sur rounded by districts that properly are a part of the city, and 1t suffers in the census tables, which give but little over 10000 population. It has therefore had bill pre- pared that authorizes annexation of any or all districts that want to be annexed at any time The only step needed in any dis- trlct or municipality Is a petition signed by as many as twenty-five persons asking for an election on the proposition of annexa- ton to the central city. This petition must particularly describe the metes and bounds of the territory sought to be incorporated.
 and shall be signed by the petitioners. and

ELECTRIC LIGHT AND THE EYES.

From Charleston (S. @ News and Courier.
 People who believe that electric light IS hurtful to their eyes may be reassured The medical faculty of the University of Hei- delberg, it is announced, have made very interesting report upon the effect of incan- descent lights gas or electric, on the eyes. After having carefully considered all argu- ments for and against, the conclusion is that the incandescent lights are not harm ful, and further, that electric lights are especially to be recommended for public halls and places of entertainment, because they do not consume oxygen.

THE HERO.
Tennyson.

 While the races of mankind endure, Let his great example stand Colossal, seen of every land, And keep the soldier firm, the statesman
 pure; Till in all lands and through all human
 story The path of duty be the way to glory; And let the land whose hearths he saved
 from shame For many and many an age proclaim At civic revel and pomp and game, And when the long-illumined cities flame, Their ever-IoyaI Iron leaders fame, With honor, honor, honor. honor to him, Eternal honor to his name.

Fantastic Congressional Districts.

FditdStiC congressman OioiiNto'
 Some remarkably lively idiot in Wash ington has taken upon himself the task of reapportioning Congressman in Alabama. He has considered himself a whole Legis- lature, and has cut up the State into nine districts. The work of this amateur ap- portioner Is marked throughout with clumsiness and a painful lack of knowl- milan whose only knowledge of the State was gained by a few minutes study of a map and the census report.
 Let us take his seventh and ninth dis trcts, for example He creates a new Seventh district out of slow-growing coun- ties below the ratio, while he puts into his new Ninth District 206,64S people, or more than the ratio, and more than he puts in any other district of his remarkable plan, with one exception. This he does by ad- ding Blount, St. Clair and Shelby counties to Jefferson. Just why he does not add St. Clair and Blount to his short and slow growing Seventh district does not appear. St. Clair Is now part of the Seventh dis trict, and Shelby is a part of the Fourth district. The Seventh district certainly needs St. Clair County, and Shelby County has shown no desire to join the Ninth dis trct. It would probably prefer to join the Washington mans Fifth district.
 The best way to make an apportionment in this part of the State would consist in recognizing the known growth and posslbil- ities of Jefferson County It grew in a de- cade of panic and depression 5S6 per cent, coming out with 14O,42O people. A like growth in this decade would carry 1t to 222 GOO, when in truth it will readily go to 25O,OOO, thus outrunning in 1910 every other district in the State. Why then should not the State honor herself as well as honor its chief taXpaying county by making it congressional district? Let St. Clair stay in the Seventh district, and give it Blount as reinforcement, and Shel- by will prefer to remain in the Fourth dis- trict. The excuse offered by the Washing ton amateur for such a fantastic arrange ment is the need of punishing St. Clair and Shelby for their populistic tendencies. An apportionment bill is scarcely, however, the proper place for political punishments, because voters may change their minds and then they will need no punishment.
 ~ Washington has not been sele ;tci to make the State apportionment, and the Advertisers Alabamian Is plainly a man who was trying to cut out a olack-belt district that would be loyal to the aspiring statesmen of Selma It is m fact an ap- portionment by Selma for Selma, but Se'- ma is not the whole thing. Nor indeed is there any evidence that Selma demands any such fantastic sacrifices on the bart of the rest of the State.

ALAS, POOR WILLIAM.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 Not only has the Hon. William Lorimer fallen outside the breastworks, but there is a manifest disincination upon the part Of his comrades in arms to go out and bring him in. Indeed, the grief in the Republi- can camp over MT. Lorimer's political de- cease is so feeble that it looks as though 1t might be hard to get firing squad to grace the obseques.

Harry H. Park Seriously Injured.

A telegram was received here last
Friday night stating that Harry Park
had been dangerously injured atGrand
Rapids, Michigan, and that recovery
was doubtful.
The accident occurred at Manhattan
park, Reeds lake, where Mr.. Park
went out for a swim He made de-
scent on toboggan slide, and just be-
fore reaching the bottom he jumped
into the shallow water head first into
the sand. The fall almost completely
paralyzed him and though he was able
to understand everything said to him
and to answer a few questions after re-
gaining consciousness, he could not
move, and had to be taken to the
hospital.
Mr.. Park is the only son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred E. Park, of Lincoln, Ne
braska, former residents of this place,
and graduated from the high school
in 1894. He was here on visit two
weeks ago, just before going to Mich
igan, where he was travelling for the
Lee Broom and Buster company.
Mr.. Park is still in critical state,
but in a letter received by The Leader
from F. E. Park, who is vii tn his son
at Grand Rapids, he states that there
is chance for him to recover
Mr.. Park also sent us clipping
from The Nebraska State Journal Of
August II, saying: Harry Park is we'll
known in Lincoln. as he has re-
sided in this city for the past four years.
He is about 25 years of age, and has
been employed by the Lee Broom and
Buster company for about three years.
He started in their employ in the low
est position offered and during the
short time he has been with them he
has made long strides until the present
time, when he is the most confidential
and highest salaried man employed by
the company. He left Lincoln about
two weeks ago to take charge of
branch of the business which has been
established in Grand Rapids. 1t was
at this time that he received his last
promotion.-LakeM Mills Leader
