Zanzibar. Tales" By George W. Bate
man. Chicago: A. c. McClurg & Co.
These tales, as their author states, are
translations from the original Swahili.
The author has added to the wonders
from the dark continent the wonders of
folklore. AS is the case with all print
tive people, the African Imagination has
abundantly clothed the inferior animals
with not only the power of speech, but
with degree of philosophical knowledge
not always possessed by the human type.
The author very modestly disclaims
originality, and gives all credit to the
tale tellers to whom he listened. He has
written an interesting volume for little
folks

The fact that the American Bridge
company was able to take the contract
for building twenty steel bridges in
Africa away from its European COM
petitors might at one time be regarded
as proof that the tariff on steel ought
to be removed. But since we have come
to discussing tariff revision of course
it is only another proof of the national
blessing conferred by protection.

MANY people smile when Mark
Hanna is suggested as the possible
Republican nominee in 1904, but
there is no real occasion for these
smiles. The fact is that Mark
Hanna is the best possible repre-.
sentative of the Republican party
as at present constituted. His
ideas are entirely out of harmony
with the ideal of the founders Of
the Republican party, and yet he
has brought that party to his way
Of thinking. He has shattered
traditional notions; he has forced
many Republican leaders into the
background; and he is to day the
master of the Republican party.
This is not exaggeration; it is a
statement of very apparent facts.
Why should the Republicans hest
tate TO put forward the man most
truly typical of modern Republi-
canism?-W. j. BRYAN, in The Com

dead. "Dad" did not move and

and should be record accurately.
Every cowboy in the San Simon
country, en- the Blue, and in the
Sulphur Springs valley has at some
time or other run across Black
Jack. The writer recalls visit
with him at Bowie four years ago,
when he camped beneath the big
cottonwood tree at that desert sta
ton, and afterward ran across him
in the Sierra Madre mountains in
Mexico. He was a pleasant follow,
quiet, careful, scrulinizing, always
feeling his way and trusting no
one. He was man of more than
ordinary education for the life he
led, and he was as cunning as an
Apache chief.
The tragedy at the Triangle
ranch was no doubt the work OF
Black Jack. The ranch is located
in the Eagle Greek country, and
the foreman of the ranch was a
man named Noble. He had III

Thomas Ketchum, alias Black
Jack, the train robber, was hanged
last Friday at Clayton, N. NJ.
The rope broke, but his head was
jerked off.
The execution took place inside
q stockade built for the occasion,
The enclosure was crowded; $50
spectators having beer admitted.
When Ketchum mounted the plat
form at 1:l7 his face was very pale
but his eyes swept over the crowd
coldly and boldly. as if he had no
fear. A priest stood at his side as
the rope was put around his neck.
The condemned man had con-
sented to this at the last moment.
Ketchum declined to make speech
before the moose was put around
his neck, merely muttered "good.
bye" then said "please dig my
grave very deep" and finally, "All
right; hurry up" His legs trem-
bled, but he kept his nerve.

CUT THEIR BILLS.

1t may be little late but there is no
question but what the supervisors have
at last got aroused on the tramp indus
try in Ionia county and the possible
remedy which they had in their hands
all the time and failed to apply. At
their session last week, the committee
on claims No, 2, Adgate, Foght and
Wilder, had before them bills OF the
justices of the peace OF the county,
amounting to 81 ,453 so The commit
tee made the most remarkable cut in
the history of the board in connection
with the tramp industry, allowing out
Of the entire amount only Sl7l.75.
The Ionia justices were of course the
ones hard hit. Justice Curry had be-
fore the board an old bill disallowed at
the October session OF 1921 10, and new
ones amounting in all to S924.50. He
was cut to SSS.25. Justice Hutchinson's
claim of S262. 80 was cut to Sl2 20 and
Justice Mains from Sl06.90 20 so 80.
Supervisor McQuillin introduced
red hot resolution, the preamble OF
which stated that the tramp industry
the past year had created claims
amounting to about IS, 200. This, under
Mr.. Chaddock's theory OF the new law,
would be largely saved the county.
The resolution of Mr.. McQulllin asked
for the passage OF bill covered oy Mr..
Chaddock's, but went further and de-
clared the tramp nuisance an imposi-
tion upon the taxpayers OF the county;
(2) asked the passage OF a bill putting
the costs and fees upon township or
city, instead OF county at large; (3) en-
dorsed Gov. Bliss 'recommendation that
county Jail should not be used as a
city lock up; (4) that the chairman OF
the board OF supervisors appoint two
OF its members to detect and punish all
persons illegally engaged in the traffic;
| (5) that fund OF $500 be apportioned
TO carry out the work OF apprehension:
I (6) that a reward of $50 be offered for
conviction Of any one aiding or promot-
i ing the arrest or conviction for the
purpose only OF obtaining revenue out
Of said traffic" The resolution was
not adopted.
