ed to experience the same sort of SEN
sation that Rip Van Wrinkle felt after
his return from the Catskill mountains
when they go down to their places Oh
business this morning, and the simple
explanation of 1T all can be summed uE
in the statement that the new street
sweeper was at work last night. The
only thing that may detract from the
magic of the scene is the furrow OF
dirt lying along each side of the street
where it was left by the new rotary
broom last night.
The much discussed cleaning of the
streets is now a thing of reality. The
new rotary broom that had been or
dered couple of weeks ago for the
Casper street sweeper has at lasr ar
rived and was fastened to the sweeper
yesterday. The city officials could not
wait until darkness came to try the
sweeper, but procured team of horses
and quietly took the new dirt annihi-
lator by a back way to Frank street,
where they watched the wheels go
around and the dust fly. The dust did
fly, too-a little too freely to suit some
of the dignitaries, and so when the
sweeper was taken back down town
some canvas curtains were hung around
the Pelee producer The street
sweeper will be kept at work now as
long as it is possible with the amount
of funds in sight or until the streets are
in respectable condition for winter.

He OBEYED.
TMahaska Chief.1


A rather exciting incident occurred
in school Monday afternoon last. The
assistant principal, Mr.. Graham. seeing
one of the scholars chewing gum quiet
ly and kindly asked him to thow it in
the waste basket, to which the pupil
fatty refused to comply. He was again
asked to do SO and given sufficient time
to obey, but he still remained obsti-
nate, then the instructor advanced to
the boys seat and seeing that kind
words and requests We're useless with
out farther notice to the cuprit jerked
him out of his seat onto the floor where
he received a good shaking up. Some
resistance was offered and even a
threatening attitude was assumed by
the pupil for which he received a few
more shakes sufficiently severe to cause
the cheWer of gum to do as command
ed. He was not hurt to any great ex-
tent but did get a bruised head which,
during the scuffle, came in contact with
near desk. Mr. Graham is a kind
and lenient teacher, we'll liked by most
of those placed under him. A few days
ago he read the rules of the school to
those In his room and among these
rules was one forbidding the chewing of
gum during study hours. In seeing
that it was enforced he was simply do
ing his duty as ordered by the school
board who formed these rules and
has their full support. The truth is the
punished pupil was intending to quit
school that evening and decided to
show off, but instead of showing off
"he got showed" and just as he de-
served.

EXPRESS COMPANIES HALTED,

Express companies have caught it at
the hands of supreme judges in two
recent decisions. While the people of
this state are rejoicing over the Iowa
| decision against these companies act
ing as liquor agents, attention is called
! in the east to another ruling as to the
liability of express companies The
New York Tribune gives the point in
yolved in recent issue:
The decision in the supreme court
declaring that express companies may
not arbitrarily limit their own RESPONSE
bility for the goods intrusted to their
care is in accord with good sense and
plain every day justice. The express
companies are common carriers. They
well paid for the work they do. When
they take a package and contract to de-
liver 1t they should not be allowed to
say how far they will suffer for their
own carelessness. They should be held
to deliver the goods which they are paid
TO carry or forfeit their full equivalent
III money value.
1T is an old habit OF corporations of
this sort to make arbitrary rules which
they force upon their patrons. In some
states the courts have compelled rail-
road companies to give transportation
for which they have been paid regard
less of the artificial limit of time which
they put upon tickets, and in others it |
has even been held that they can not
divest themselves of liability for acct
dents by any form of agreement with
patrons, even with the recipients of free
transportation. These decisions per-
haps go too far in limiting capacity to
contract away rights for fair eonsid-
Grafton in the way of passes or reduced
rates Undoubtedly. however. the ten
dency to forbid contracts freeing COM
pany of responsibilities is in the direc-
ton of sound public policy. The cor
porations having practical monopolies
of semi public business are in posi-
ton to dictate their own terms of
to the people unless the law
restraints them, not only in the matter
of rates, but also in the matter of la
bility for failure to do their work prop

RoosEvELT's BOOK TRANSLATED
"The Strenuous Life" Published in the
French Language.

| Paris, Nov. 10.-A translation into
French of President Roosevelt's book
1.-THE Strenuous Life" which appeared
here last week under the title of Let
Vie Intense has attracted widespread
interest. The translation is by the
Princess Ferdinand de Fauoigny-Lu
SINCE and Jean Izoulet, who declare
that their work has the authorization
of Mr.. Roosevelt.
The translation pays glowing trib-
ute to the United States and compares
President Roosevelt's book to James
Bryce's "The American Common
wealth. The latter gives the view OF
the outside observer, while the Strenu-
Gus Life" gives the views of the observer
on the inside.
President Roosevelt is described as
'the yirile champion of a nation which
has become powerful in deciding the
destinies of the world" The high STAN
dards which President Roosevelt has
introduced into public life in America
are dwelt upon.
Another work by the Vicomte de No
allies, which appeared last week, gives
another detailed account of the opera
lions of the French soldiers and mar
ines who participated In the war for
American independence.
Several works on similar subjects
are in course of preparation and are
encouraged by the French government.

THE ILLINOIS sEHAToRsHIp,

One of the desirable results Of the
election from party point of view is
found in the prospective retirement OF
Senator William E. Mason, of Illinois,
whose spectacular efforts in the upper
house to shape events from his inde-
pendent point of view have alienated
his republican friends. A quietus was
put on his aspirations at the polls. The
party organization, on which the SEN
ator has waged relentless war since the
movement began in favor of Congress-
man Hopkins for Mason's reat, is now
in complete control of all the state Of
fees, and has a strong working major
ity in the general assembly. Senator
Mason succeeded in having only one in
dependent republican legislative candi-
date elected, so that his alleged con-
templated coalition with democratic
members to insure his reelection in
spite OF the state administration faction
mer, must of necessity be abandoned.
On joint ballot the organization repub-
licans have majority in the legislature
of forty-two votes. More than the
requisite number to elect are pledged to
carry out the behest of the republican
convention to vote for Representative
Albert J. Hopkins for United States
senator
With a strong majority in the legisla-
ture on joint ballot the republican
leaders are now turning their attention
to the organization of that body to Sc
cure the election of Albert ]. Hopkins. |
who has served with ability during
nine terms of congress.
William E. Mason went from Iowa to
Chicago to begin his career, and arose
to high position thru his ability, but |
1atterly his instability as a political
factor has wrought his undoing.

THE DIsFRANcHisED NEGRO.

The solidity of the democratic vote il
t41e south shows how effectively ne
groes are DISTINGUISHED. They are ex
cluded from the privilege of voting b.
two methods. The first is under the SO
called grandfather clause, which de.

his grandfather was a legal voter be.
fore the civil war. AS only whites were
entitled to the franchise at that time
the colored man is effectually excluded
II Is stated that this clause is used
against negro voters only as last re-
sort. They are usually excluded under
another clause, because of inability tc
read and interpret clause of the state
constitution. AS this is within the scope
of state power it may be constitutional,
and it usually serves the purpose. An
election board makes it difficult for any
one to vote whom 1t wishes to exclude.
A southern democrat made the follow
Ing statement not long ago:
IF United States supreme court
justice should black up and go down
there and ask to be registered he would
have hard time in constituting the sim
plest clause of the constitution to the
satisfaction of any board of registra-
ton ever saw. If supreme court
judge would have trouble, you may inn
asine there is some difficulty before the
ordinary negro"
1t will thus be seen that the negro is
pretty thoroughly disfranchised. How
ever, he has not wholly given up the
battle. A test is to be made of the
grandfather" clause in the United
States supreme court, on an appeal
from one of the district courts of Ala
bama to the supreme court. The case
was brought by a negro voter whom An
Alabama election board refused to per-
nit to register. He applied to District
Judge Jones for a writ of mandamus.
Judge Jones refused formally to grant
the writ ON the ground that he had no
jurisdiction. But he certified the case
directly UP to the supreme court, in
,tead of allowing 1t to take the usual
,ourse to the court of appeals. Judge
ZONES is the gold democrat not long ago
appointed United States judge by
President Roosevelt. He was a mem
Der of the Alabama constitutional con-
vention, and strenuously opposed the
inclusion in the constitution of the
grandfather clause.
Good ground can be secured to show
the unconstitutionality of this meas
ure. and if success attends the effort
attention will probably be turned to the
less hopeless task of combating the
other DISTINGUISHING clause.

ASSET CURRENCY AGAIN.

IL mas now grown to be an annua
custom at the meeting of the Nationa
Bankers Association for some promi
nent financier to address the convention
upon the great necessity for asset e1r-
rency and the speech delivered by w
b. Ridgiey, comptroller of the currency
upon this subject was no exception O,
surprise. There seems to be universal
opinion among bankers, financiers and
students of finance that the American
banking system needs some repairing to
meet the greatly enlarged demands OF
modern business, altho there is vet
great diversity of opinion among these
posed
The burden of the comptroller's ar
gument was to the effect that in the last
ten years the deposits in all the banks
of the United States had doubled in
volume; that loans had increased 60
per cent, while the item known as due
from other banks had increased 127
per cent and the cash on hand only 43
per cent. From this he argued that the
volume of banking business had grown
so enormously that the country was in
need of improved banking machinery to
take care of it.
He then gave figures of the enormous
increase in the agricultural products of
the country, the crop of 1902 being esti-
mated at $5,0O0,000,0OO in value, which
gives demand for an enormous amount
of currency at a time of the year when
all other business is being done on an
enormous scale. He then gives some
figures, which, when fully grasped and
understood, will correct much of the
unsafe currency. He finds that in those
farming states which raised this five
billion dollar crop there are 1926 banks
with a capital and surplus of s672,000,-
0O0 that the people who want to bor-
row money to handle this enormous vol
ume of readily salable products own
good lands to the value of $13.674,Oo0,-
600, have farm implements and machin-
cry worth $761, 100000, live stock worth
3,07S, 000,0 900, and raise over S4.Ooo,o0O,-
600 worth of products every year. Tenn
porary loans to them certainly ought to
be safe and with this enormous capital
and stockholder responsibility behind

1 It's in he banks, even If the monetar,
stringency should be renewed. The TO-
ta' deposits of government funds in tie
depository banks to date amount to
s14e,661, 661.57. The total amount OF
state and municipal bonds which were
substituted for government bonds as
security for deposits Is about $4,000
600.
However, it is not probable that more
money will be needed now. Philip King,
the financial writer of the New York
Sun, and an able monetary student, be-
1ieves the trouble is mot that money is
too scarce, but too PLENTIFUL He thinks
that If, in response to the demands of
spectators congress should recklessly
ordain a further imitation, the most
monstrous financial crime of the CEN
fury would be perpetrated."
Stock spectators and jobbers in in
dustrial stocks may demand more
money, but it is not legitimate one,
and they should be checked If possible.
Legitimate business" as Mr.. King
says, was never more sound or active"
This is true. TT is this self-same pros
perity," adds Mr.. King, that has alb
sorhed, and will continue to absorb, the
floating supply of money in the coun-
try, leaving Wall street in a hapless
state" No effort from that locality
ought to have weight with the country,
either in exciting it or in creating
sentiment for imitation.

Trust Legislation.
WASHINGTON Post.I

1t is understood that the president
will urge upon congress in his forth
coming message the necessity for inn
mediate legislation in restraint of mo-
nopolistic combinations Mr.. Roar
chairman of the senate judiciary com
mittee, and other eminent authorities
agree with Attorney General Knox that
the constitution, as it stands, empowers
congress to take all needful steps for
the regulation of trade between the
states. Senator Hoar has declared the
trust evils to be:
Il. Destruction of competition.
20 The management of industries by
absentee capital.
80 Destruction of local public spirit.
q. Fraudulent capitalization.
''5 Secrecy.
IS. Management for the private ben
eft of the officers.
y. The power to corrupt elections
and in some cases to corrupt the courts.
IS. Indifference to public sentiment"
If said the senator, "the first,
fourth and fifth can be cured, the cure
of the others, in my opinion. will fol-
low" And he declared that the three
evils named can be cured by act of con-
gress. There will be no difficulty in
getting the contemplated antitrust bill
thru congress this winter if the repub-
lican leaders will permit 1t. Democrats
will offer no obstruction. All depends
upon the attitude of a few republicans.
The question is whether or not their
chronic servility to the monopolistic
combines to to be abandoned"
