SENATOR DlETRIcA's CASE.

A FEDERAL GRAND JURY at Oma-
n ha IS further Investigating Senator
Dietrich's connection with the postofice
patronage Of Nebraska. The senator is
in Hastings. his home. and his attorney
says ne desires as speedy a trial as
possible on the first indictment returned
against him. Senator Dietrich's wishes
I'm this particular may be disregarded.
Indeed, they should be, for there is no
telling what state Of case further inves-
tigation may develop, and it VIII be
proper to bring him to bar for as many
indictments at the same time as the
facts warrant
The matter has a rather ugly look.
Senator Dietrich is in the midst Of a
most unsavory mess. When the charges
were first preferred against him. the
charges in relation to the Hastings
p0stOffiCe. he declared that the indict-
ment then returned was part and par
eel Of a political feud between himself
and United States District Attorney
Summers. Such things do happen at
times, and Senator Dietrich found many
who believed that the action against
BIN was pure spitework.
Now it has developed, through the de-
partment Of justice at Washington, that
Mr.. Summers did not inaugurate the
proceedings against Senator Dietrich.
Remembering the ancient grudge be-
tN cen himself and the senator, and
knowing that he might be charged with
using his OFFICIAL position to harass a
political enemy, Mr.. Summers not only
die rot inspire the action but. as a mat
ter of fact he delayed it after it had
| been begun. So much did ne delay it
THAI ne called down upon himself re-
buke from Attorney General Knox.
Further. the grand jury that returned
the indictment was composed OF some
of the best citizens of Nebraska. as is
/ the present grand jury. Senator Diet
rich can no more plead that these gen
! tlemen are all his political enemies than
any defendant can plead that he is be-
ing punished by enemies on a jury that
/ tries him. 1t is too bad that the story
Of the Hastings postofce had to come
out and make trouble for Senator Diet
rich, but such things often do come
out and they almost invariably make
/ trouble for somebody.
The latest charge against the senator,
that a member Of the legislature was
/ allowed to name a postmaster ia ex-
/ change for his vote for United States
senator, is being looked into. There
is nothing unusual about this method
of bribery, more's the pity. It is done
in nearly every senatorial campaign. II
Senator Dietrich has been guilty of II
he should be punished, as every senator
should be punished who Stops to these
methods to win high office.

MoRE MunIoIPAL ooRRuPTIoM.

"a " APPALLING AMOUNT OF mu-
- nicipal corruption has been and is
being revealed by i. X. Salisbury, for
.nerly assistant city attorney in Grand
Rapids Mich From the testimony Of
Salisbury 1t appears that every depart
ncut of the last Grand Rapids city adj
illustration was corrupt. The bride
givirg and bride taking did not cease
Vith the city officials, either. 1t ex-
ended to the newspaper men Of the
sity. several of whom are deeply in
Eolved.
The dispatches do not make exactly
clear the object Of all the bribery.
Prom another source. however, it is
earned that a water company was be-
lind the whole dirty business. The sys-
,em Of graft" proposed by the officials
~ this company was so extensive, the
profits promised so great that, in the
opinion of the bride givers no expense
was too great to balk at. The scheme
Involved the construction of a pipe line
ana general water system. the water
70 come from Lake Michigan, thirty
miles away.
The city Of Crane Rapids owns its
waterworks but draws its supply from
Lhe Grand river, which IS very often
30 flled with impurities that it cannot
be used for ordinary culinary purposes.
The idea OF the thieving corporation
was TO enter into an arrangement with
the city by which it would have a
Franchise which would enable it to sell
water 20 the people at it's own figures,
as wen as supplying the city itself with
EoTe water.
The scheme was working out amaz-
lneiy well. thanks to the ease with
which the city officials and others in
terested could be bought. when SAILS
bury's conscience, after a term in pris-
ON. made coward of him. Now he is
iayiae bare everything. including the
names OF his co-consplrators and the
amounts paid them. TO many of us it
VIII seem that the grafters were a sur
prisiEgly cheap lot. The mayor Of the
CITY got less than S15,OOe. Councilmeu
ana others were paid sums ranging
Ia $4,000 down to as little as $500.
0t is evident that the Grand Rapids
courts viii be busy for some time to
come win trials Of the accused persons
And when the last of the guilty ones
hos been convicted the census should
show a considerable diminution in the
population OF the well known Michigan
city.

AN AnTl-CIeARETTELEA LEAGUE.

A UNIQUE PARADE was witnessed
"A in a New York City school dis
trict the other day. 1t consisted Of 1900
bright-faced. clear-headed, healthy
minded, happy boys. ranging in age
from six to eighteen years. At their
head they carried big banner which
proclaimed that they were members Of
the Anti-Cigarette league. 1t was the
first annual parade of the league, which
was formed nine years ago by J. Frank
Wright. principal of one of the New
York schools.
Mr. Wright knows the boy nature
thoroughly. When he inaUgUrated his
crusade against the cigarette he knew
well enough that he had to appeal to
more than one side of the boy. A
youngster may listen with every ap-
pearance OF enthusiastic interest when
YOU tell him that If he smokes cigar
cites he viii stunt his growth, impair
his mind and wreck his constitution
but the chances are that. IF he is
cigarette smoker. he win light another
of the pernicious things just as soon
as he gets out Of your sight
The New York principal talked to
his boys earnestly and we'll. Then he
did something more. He organized an
anti-cigarette league. That got the
boys interested right away. IL gave
them a chance to play q grown-up
game They had the PRIVILEGE of elect
ing their own officers. Of holding their
own meetings at stated intervals,
Of having little entertainments and Of
enjoying themselves on outings Of va
rious kinds. Those who were outside
the league very promptly saw the ad-
vantages to be derived from member
ship.
So they have been piling into it al
most as rapidly rs they could sign their
names to the necessary pledge. under
which the signer promises not to use
tobacco in any form until he is twenty
( one years old. AS a result the practice
Of cigarette smoking has almost en-
tirely disappeared from the district in
which Principal Wright is located.
1 "The hundreds Of letters I have re-
|ceived from GRATEFUL parents. said Mr..
Wright, speaking Of the league and its
parade. Testify to the value of the
work done by the little fellows.
have instituted this parade in the hope
that it viii become an annual Gus
tom"
The Herald calls attention to the
/ league hoping that something of the
kind may be inaugurated here. Other
/ methods &c lighting the cigarette evil
have been tried. They have resulted
lin failure. More cigarettes are being
/ than ever before. why cannot some
school principal begin the organization
+ of a league at once?
