Can Council ..Crnrash %

After fixing the liquor Acense at $500
per year and twice voting down mo-
ton TO reconsider the matter, is it pos
sible that that august body will recede
from the position it has taken and re-
duce the license fee?
There were many stories told week
or two ago of outside parties who would
be glad of an opportunity to pay $500
for the right to run saloon here, but
somehow they have failed to ask for
license. and the local saloon keepers
have not made move in that direction.
1t is said that there was a secret eau
Gus of Council members last evening for
the purpose of reconsidering the matter
of license fees, but nothing definite

GERMANY'S ADVANTAGE

In Central America, Set Forth in n
Communication From Consul Gen-

WASHINGTON. May 1e,---A transla-
ton OF an article in a Berlin publication
regarding German enterprisedn Central

trail American enteprises. German
plantations occupy an area of 740 900

man business houses in Nicaragua. Qua
temala and Costa Rico in addition to

believe the philanthropists should In
terest themselves little more than they
do in behalf of these girls. When the In
itiative step is taken II might start q
movement for their welfare.
Mother Jones" believes in giving the
. mistresses a dose of their own medi-
cine and in making them get down into
the kitchen and hustle for themselves.
Il am one of those says she, who be-
lieves in the complete overthrow of the
capitalistic system, thereby making
every woman laborer, domestic, and
every domestic capitalist. By being
banded together the servants can keep
one another informed as to who the
humane master is and who the tyrant
is. If woman cannot feel for her sis
FER woman, the best thing is to force
this would-be autocrat to be her own
slave"
There we have the servant girl ques-
ton from the viewpoint of Mother
Jones' and the servant girls. 1t will be
observed that it is quite different from
the story told by the mistresses and we
can already hear the indignant exclama-
tons CT the latter to the effect that it
is plain to be seen that Mother Jones"
never had to wrestle with the problem
in her own kitchen, else she would know
that the real autocrat of the situation
dwelt in that department of the house
hold and not in the parlor.
AS it seems to be up to the mistresses
now, may be some representative OF that
class will present the other side o. the
story in rebuttal of Mother Jones'"
The servant girl problem is not to, be
settled off-hand.

They were telling a good story on an

bought some Northern Pacific common

the certificates away in his trunk. Yes
terday he brought them to town. He
went into very prominent brokers'
office and remarked that he had seen
by the morning papers that Northern
Pacific was worth some big money and
he thought he'd sell out What the
broker said was commonplace, but
what he thought was a plenty. when
he remembered that on Thursday
Northern Pacific was bringing any old
price. He took the stock, however, and
got rid of it at 145 without much
trouble, and the owner was satisfied,
as he had bought it around II. But

Thursday. Seven hundred dollars per
share would have been commanded

COL. RUSSELL HARRIsON,s CASE.


The Spanish-American War Veter-

asking the Indiana Congressman,
without regard to party, to use their
influence to obtain a court of inquiry,
so promptly and repeatedly demanded
by Col Harrison, to correct the injury
and right the wrong done him in his
dismissal from the army The resolu-
tons recite the fact that the name of
Harrison has been associated with the
military history of Indiana from it's
formation as a Territory, that EXPIRES
ident Harrison died believing that the
creditable military record of the Har-
rison family, made in every war from
the Revolution on, was injured by the
manner and circumstances of the dis
missal of his son.
Had it been added" says the In
dianapolis News, that Col Harrison
was dismissed in order to punish his
father for his failure to support with
out qualification the political views of
the administration, the common belief
of the people of Indiana and of the
country would have been voiced
That is the truth, and Secretary Root
will probably soon discover that he is
mistaken in supposing this a CLOSED
