~Red Criminals Approved.


The District Commissioners have re-
turned TO the chairman OF the Senate com
mittee. with their approval. the bill "to
regulate the transportation of prisoners
and to provide a separate court for chill
dren."
In approving the measure and recon-
nending its passage, the Commissioners
express qualification that the opportunity
IS presented to remedy the evils that have
long existed in the mater Of the assOcia-
ton OF Juvenile offenders with those of
mature age and hardened instincts
In their letter transmitting the bill to
the committee the Commissioners suggest
that The bill be simply amended so as to
continue the good work of separation and
classification beyond the point OF arrest
and delivery to the various prisons. To
this end they recommend that the follow
ing words be incorporated in the bill. and
added to the first section: And when i'm
prisCned they shall be classified as 20 ege,
sex, and degree of criminality or mis-
demeaBor."
The Commissioners also suggest that the
age limit OF sixteen years be removed with
reference to women and girls, so that the
good effects of the place of detention shall
not be restricted TO children. under sixteen
years but that provision may be made for
the detention Of girls and young women
who are some times arrested for petty
thefts or misdemeanors. and are not other
wise morally bad. This class of persons
are often arrested merely on suspicion.
the Commissioners add. and the stigma
OF being taken TO police station should
not be attached to them.
With their approval OF the bill the
Commissioners append report of the ex-
penses Of the House of Detention and re-
quest that an appropriation of $4,000 be
made for its maintenance for the ensuing
fiscal year.

TACoMA's big barge skookum, after
carrying her immense cargo to Nome
consisting of 500 head of stock, over
. million feet of lumber, wagons, min.
ing machinery and general freight
was pounded to pieces in the storm of
the 18th on the beach of Nome. She
was safely towed to destination by the
tug Holyoke and had discharged the
larger part of her cargo before she
met her ill-timed fate. 1t was the in
tention OF her owners to convert the
barge into a huge floating tenement
house for the transfer of Nome NAL
contents to the Sound. It was ex-
pected that she would carry about l..
500 passengers back to civilization.

Didn't Know It was Loaded.

The STANDARD feels very much in
the condition of the Hebrew who,
after eating Il raSher Of the forbidden
flesh IN restaurant, was astounded
by a peal Of thunder from 4 passing
storm, which the C0nscience-stricke
lsraelite imagined tn he intimately
connected with the transgression Of
Mosaic law. "Mein got in Iimmel"
exclaimed he, "Nat fuss to kick up
about little bit of bacon"
so the STANDARD feels abont the
school-bOok controversy.
1t had no idea, when it called at
tcntion to the worthless character Of
the textbooks adopted, and pointed
out some OF the many ridiculous errors
which only the grossest neglect and
the most palpable incompetence could
have caused, that it was unearthing a
fraud, which has, according to oppo-
sition press, implicated some of the
high officers OF the State administra-
ton. The Oregonian, of Sunday,
claims that the five year contract is
"job," engineered by Superintendent
Browne under the approval of Gov.
Rogers. The Tacoma News and the
Seattle P.-L follow with still more
specific charges OF fraud, and the
whole matter promises to become one
OF the leading issues of the State cam.
paign.
The smile does not parallel the Sc
metic legend, however, from the fact
that the cause Of commotion is some
thing of far more Importance than a
scrap OF bacon, and the CONSERVATION
of the transgressors correspondingly
greater.

IT is hard to satisfy some people.
Mr.. Bryan spoke on imperialism first,
and the Republicans charged him
with abandoning free silver and other
issues. Then he spoke on silver and
they said that he was afraid to tackle
the trusts. Now he has spoken on
trusts, and they are saying he is so
diffusive in his loves that he cannot be
devoted to any one of them.

McKinley's corporation rule, and he
thought this average would hold good
in almost every article of domestic

labor has had some share as factor
of cost, it is an acknowledged fact
that the trusts have squeezed the
blood out of the wage-rate paid. So
we go! The laborer has to pay nearly
third more on every article OF neces-
sity used by him to keep body and
soul together, while the pay for his
daily labor is no higher and in many
instances lower, than it was ten years

CUsH's political sun will soon set if
he continues to make such breaks as
as he did in his speech at Watervi,le,
July 30th, wherein he insulted our
German citizens by stating, that if
Dewey had sailed away from Manila,
after his memorable naval victory,
there were representatives of other
governments ready to gobble up the
Philippines. "There was Germany"
said he, "and if we had left the ISL
ands they would have fallen into the
hands of government but little
better than that of SPAIN" He is
now trying to cooper" that state
menr, but if we allow him to fix up his
own case, it does not place him in any
better light, for his admission is
couched in these words:
eft may be that the flag of our coun.
try floating over the Philippine Islands
is the best guarantee that those mis-
guided people have from the domination
OF another government but little, if any,
better than SPAIN"

of the German naval officer, who came
so near precipitating conflict at Ma.

Sudden Death of Gen. Palmer.

was admitted to the bar in 1910; was
a delegate to the State Constitutional
Convention in 1871, a member Of the
State Senate, from 1882 to 1854; a
delegate to the National Republican
Convention at Philadelphia in 1856;
Presidential Elector on the Republi-
can ticket of 1850; a delegate to the
Peace Convention of 1861; elected
Colonel OF l4th Illinois Volunteers
the same year. He was with Generals
Fremont in Missouri, and Pope in
New Madrid and Island No. 10, and
afterwards commanded the First Brig
ade of the First Division of the Army
of the Mississippi. In 1862 he was
with Grant, in temporary command of
q division. He led division at Stony
River and for galIantry was promoted
to Major General OF Volunteers. He
participated in the battle of Chicka-
manga, and led the 14th corps in the
Atlanta campaign, in 1864. He was
Governor OF Illinois from 1869 to 1873.
He ran on the "Gold Democratic"
ticket in 1896 for President with ST.
mon B. Buckner, of Kentucky, for
Vice President, receiving 1880 of
the popular votes, but none in the
electoral college.
That the blow was entirely unex-
pected is shown by the fact that Gen.
Palmer was an honorary pall-bearer at
the funeral of Gen. McClernard, last
Saturday, and Monday night was on
the street viewing the State Fair illum-
nations till late hour, apparently in
good health.
