Make En- Pay.

THE third amendment is to be
rcsuhmittcd to the voters. The
eastern mOncy-lOancrs Were so sor-
nv for the dear borrowers that they
fused and fumed, and finally pc T.
suadcd the legislature to vote to
have it rcsubmltted. And we
guess the legislature was right, for
the money loancrs were going TO
make the borrowers bear the
burdens.
THE eastern insurance compan-
les make their immense piles of
money by insuring the people; then
they turn around and want to loan
it and dictate the termS-and cs-
cape taxation.
Let the voters turn out and
vote to do away with the amend
mcnt then elect men who will pass
the assessors stamp law, making
no note collectable that does not
bear the stamp of the assessor,
showing that it has been given III.
This will cause many of the money
loaners to hold up their hands III

will pull out of the state; but
they won't. The insurance com
panics declared they would do the
same thing when brought to taw'
BY the state officials, but they
didn't.
Make the money loancrS of the
east help bear the burdens of tax
alton AS well as the home money
loaner and the owners of other

The above is from the Bowling
Green Times. The argument re-
garding the Third Constitutional
Amendment does not suit us. We
are not ready to give that law up
Just yet. 1t is just law. y bird

from the "burrowcrs'-it i'll truth
and in fact they have been made
to "bcar the burden. The oppo-
nents of the law have claimed this
would be the effect all along. If
the money loanerS dare to make 1t
the condition i'll fact, then we also
say repeal the law, following it up
with the assessors stamp law.

Public Ownership.

w. j. BRYAN'S tommOncr takes
an earnest stand is favor of the
government ownership of public
utilities. That paper observes with
pleasure that the Canadian govern
mcnt has decided to purchase all
telegraph lines in the Dominion,
paying therefor $50 200, 900. 1t
sees reinsurance in this to those
who fear the final outcome of the
movement in these latter days to-
ward the consolidation of all our
railroads and great industries. The
Commoncr repeats the following
from the New York World upon
this subject
Outside of the United States the
movement of all English-spcaking
peoples is toward either the ont
and-out ownership or the iron
handed control of all public utili-
ties. Especially is this true of the
large self governing colonies of
Great Britain. Canadian railroads
are partly owned by the Govern
mcnt, and those not owned are
rigidly controlled by Parliamentary
law. The new Commonwealth of
Australia has none but stated owned
railroads. In New Zealand the
government not only owns all the
railroads but operates them on the
principle that it is not desirable
that they should yield Il profit but
only TO make them of the utmost
service to the people. The Prime
Minister of New Zealand has de
clarcd that any profit over 3 per
cent. on the traffic must immedi-
atelN be wiped ont 10y improve
mcnts i'll the service or by lower
fare and freight rates.
Henry Demarcst Lloyd in his

railroad service works well because
1t is based on nOn-political civil
service system. The Civil-Service
Board in New South Wales can
only he removed by Il concurrent
majority vote of both houses of
Parliament, and its authority is
such, says Mr.. Lloyd, that not Il
single foreman can be transferred
from one job to another without
its consent. In England itself,
where the Government ownership
of telegraph lines is more than a
quarter of Il century old, and
where the railroads are forced to
run cheap working-people's trains
at hours and fares arbitrarily fixed
by Parliament, and are otherwise
regulated very much as if they
were Government property, the
same condition precedent of civil
service out of the reach of the pol
iticians has been long since 81.

Unkcpt Promise.

is from an Eastern paper and is
concerning Il promise made by
Senator Marcus Aurelius Hanna.
1t is not IA bad picture and will in

There was promise made 10y
Senator Mark \. Hanna before
the reelection of President Me-
Kinley that has never been fulfill
ed.
The person to whom the prom
Use was made has never asked for
its fulfillment, tho the conditions
under which it was made have
come about, and the witness to the
agreement was no less person
than President Mckinley.
\ young woman journalist, who
represented an Eastern paper, was

leaving that afternoon for the
East. and had been sitting with
Mrs. Mckinley talking over things
domestic and playing with the
children, who were always hang
ing around the wife of the PreSi-
dent.
The President and Senator Han
nh walked down to the train with
her. The Senator told her that
she had no right to be in newspa-
per work; that Southern girls,
above all others, should have Il

but the leading professionals failed to

night, hurried to Vailsburg and o
the half mile. Then he was called

well as the longest, even witnessed on
an amateur diamond in this city was
played yesterday afternoon on the Is
land between the Cricket High Scorers
and the Rag Time team.
For seventeen long innings these two
teams battled for supremacy, each be-
ing about evenly matched. Many times
there were men on bases and no one
out, but fine fielding and excellent
pitching allowed not a score to be
made.
Both teams 1elded sensationally
pulling down hits that were good for
two or three bases. but the Chickets
seemed to be a shade the better in the
hitting department, Jepson, James and
John Mccain leading their team, each
getting five hits.
The Cricket High Scorers would like
games with teams averaging IT years.
providing satisfactory dates can be ar
ranged. Only teams who have a little
honor are requested to answer this
challenge.
