"eRAFTeRs" IN CHICAGO.

NJ AYOR CARTER HARRISON OF
vi Chicago evidently believes that a
great cIea-h AZ up is badly needed in
the big cit!e over which he presides as
chief executive. In a recent interview
Mayor Harrison said:
III T could fire all the men I suspect
of grating they would be jumping out Of
everv window in the city halI. This nan
is full of Eraft big and httle-you know
If and can't prove it. I've got eighteen
months left and IA get some Of them
yet"
It is to be hoped that Mayor Harri-
son viii "get" not only some, but all,
of the "grafters." In the same inter
view the mayor spoke of the difficulty
Of securing direct evidence against
men in public Office who stain their
hands with unclean money. He de-
clared it to be almost impossible to
/ secure enough proof to bring about
convictions. To some extent Mayor
Harrison is right. Very often, in the
nature Of such cases, it is difficult to
bring the crime home to the perpe-
TRAITOR.
The individual who is bribed is not
going around telling people how he
acquired his money. The citizen who
does the bribing viii hardly mention It
in public. for he is just as guilty, NOR
ally and legally, as the man who takes
the bride. Nevertheless, plenty OF in
stances are on record where both bribe-
givers and bribe-taSers have been
/ brought to justice. A conspicuous ex-

NO combination OF circumstances
could possibly have been more adverse
than the one that confronted Mr.. Folk.
The criminals he sought to convict
were in nearly every instance men OF
high standing In the community; they
were men Of influence and wealth and
power. The ring Of official criminals
was so strong its members did not be-
lieve it could possibly be broken. But
it was broken. Mr. FOX has sent one
man after another to the penitentiary
and St. Louis IS all but free from bribe-
eivers and bribe-takers today.

WOMEN AND HONOR.

A WOMAN. Mrs. Mary Layton John
y ston Of New York. bookkeeper and
cashier for the United States Playing
card company. is under arrest on a
charge Of embezzling $50 600 that bes
longed TO the corporation. It is claimed
that she lost the money betting on
horse races and playing the stock mar
ket- Naturally a great deal Of atten-
ton is being paid to her case by the
New York papers and other publica-
tons ia the east. We say naturally
because from a news standpoint the
case is worth very much more space
than II a man had stolen the money.
The reason Is one that reflects credit
on all women. 1t is very rare indeed
that woman who occupies a position
of trust takes anything that doesn't
belong to her. The record indicates
that women have a very much higher
sense OF honor than men. They see
more clearly the difference between
mine and thine and they are more
worthy, as a rule, OF confidence and
trust. We are very well aware OF the
fact that the cynic viii put the case
differently.
He win say that women steal rarely
because they are rarely tempted to
steal; that they have not the same
surroundings as men, the same appe-
tiles and passions. More. ne viii say
that women rarely occupy positions
where it is I'm their power to make
way with large sums Of money. The
last statement is, in large measure,
correct. The others are wrong. Wo-
men do have temptations, different
from the temptations that beset men.
but temptations Of a strong character
nevertheless. Indeed, it is easy to be-
lieve that they are often more sorely
tempted than men.
AS a rule women work for less money
than men. A woman will do the same
work as a man, and do it as well OF
better for a half or three-fourths as
much money. Perhaps there is more
competition among women for places
This may be the reason for the low
wages paid them, but there is no way
Of getting around the fact that women
as a rule are the more honest A Wo-

The POOR BooKmAKERs.

T HE PITIFUL VAIL that the race
L horse gamblers are raising
throughout the country because a CO.
terie OF shrewder gamblers Svon a large
fortune on an unknown horse. is one Of
the amusing features Of the recent dis
patches. Appropriately enough, the
horse is named The Fiddler and the
bookmakers, that is, the men who Of
fer odds to all Corners that one horse
or another win not win a specified race,
are paying him.
It isn't so very often that the gam
bier is called upon to pay the fiddler.
When ne is forced TO disgOrge he should
do so with at least a veneer Of good
grace. The dispatches say that the Gin
siders" on The Fiddler good thing
cleaned up something like 100000. The
hofse was backed at 20 20 20 win, and
he did win in handsome style. Now q
cry Of jobbery with the honest book
maker as the victim has gone up.
OF course. your honest boOkmaker
never put up a Job in his life When
he wins he wins honestly. and when
he loses, which rs rarely, there is fraud
somewhere. It is sinful for the public
to try to take away the bookmaker's
money. This notwithstanding the fact
that there is not a wealthy profession
al booImal5er in the country who has
given an honest dollar in value for
every dollar Of his wealth. The same
thing is true of gamblers generally,
honest and otherwise. But we must
confne this discussion to bookmakcrs-
What right have gamblers Of their

tent authority says that millions OF
dollars are lost every year to the book

ceptions the man who persistently ''fol-

most. The exceptions to this rule are

HERMAN NOT TO BE FOUND.
Actions involving Large Sums Begun

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 18.-The
charge that Henry Herman has alb

VERDICT IN KRIER CASE.
Coroner's Jury Finds That Sutton and
the Nelson's Did the Killing.

Ine NELSON'S DIQ the NHiiTSs
OWATONNA, Mimi, April 1S.-The
officers believe they have the case
against the Nelson's and young Sutton,
charged with the murder of Harry
Krier, we'll clinched by evidence sub
mitted here today before the coroner's
inquest. The boys had been intimate
with Christina Jasperson, fourteen
year-old girl, who was brought before
the coroner today.
The girl testified that about 2:30
Monday afternoon she met Sutton and
Henry Nelson in the immediate neigh
borhood of Kriers residence. She ask
ed them what they were doing and
they replied they were waiting for
Krier; that he had money and they
wanted it. While they were talking
Krier- came along and went into his
house. In the meantime, the boys told
her to return to their rooms and tell
Charlie Nelson they were ready. When
Krier came out she went away, but
did not go to the rooms and did not
see Charlie Nelson.
At $50 the same afternoon she saw
the boys in theSroonn. Henry told her
they had done something for which
they were sorry; that they had killed
a man about 4:30 o'clock, and must
leave town. They gave her IS and
made her promise not to tell. One of

So spoke G. w. Hanley, who is 1O7
years young, as Fra Elbertus would
say. He looked up in surprise when
asked to what he attributed his long
life: Then he told of the use of nquor

Dickey County Commissioners and FL
lendale Council at Mar


ABERDEEN, S. D., April 1S.-Up IN
Dickey county there is a small sized
war on between the board of county
commissioners and the Glendale city
council over the refusal Of the latter to
reduce the water tax for the artesian
water used at the court house. The
county board has retaliated by refus-
ing to allow the court house hall to be
used hereafter for any except county
purposes, shutting out all dances,
shows, entertainments, etc. 1t appears
that there are two faucets located in
the court house, one in the Jail and one
in the rooms occupied by the sheriff S
family. For these the county is charg-
ed $40 per annum, while the general
rate charged throughout the city for
two faucets Is but SO. The county
board petitioned the city council to re-
duce the rate and the latter refused to
do so,
