THE ANVIL CHORUS.

For the benefit of the big man with
the tiny hammer, note:
1. The highest price of the Douglas
Patent Closet of the highest grade is
only $1,000. 1t has never been more.
2. The lowest price is $500 with in
termediate prices of $500 and $4,000.
Every Douglas" is guaranteed for
three years from the date of sale,
against imperfections in workmanship
and material.
8. Advertising has not raised the
price of the Douglas one cent. The
increasing sale of the Douglas tends
to lower the price. Watch!
4. In the musical interpretations
of the anvil chorus" as invidiousIy
circulated by the Douglas enemies,
the holds are read as notes; the public
knows the rest"
5. Cut this out and paste it in your
hat for future reference.

But when the Indians found there was a de-
mand for leases they duplicated them as
often as hey could find a bidder. In some
cases 1t is said they leased the same land
as many as a dozen times, and In others
they signed contracts to enter into leases

Three nominations have thus far been
made for the two places to be vacated on
the school commission, and, fortunately, all
are men of very high character and con-
spicuous ability. The purpose of the new
law was to take the schools absolutely out
of the sphere of political influence and OBJ
tain high-grade men for commissioners
and it is a pleasure to note that thus far
II is working admirably. OF the men thus
far nominated all are of unimpeachable
character and a choice between them is
difficult, but the Journal believes that long
practical experience in their respective
lines of work, the one as an educator and
the other as a manufacturer managing the
sales Of his own product make Prof.
Emmerich and w. M. Taylor peculiarly fit
men for membership on the commission.

LIKE A GIGANTIC FAN
FORMATION OF THE COMING MILL
TARY CAMP AT FORT RILEY.
M~aneuvers to Take Place on the Re-
publican River Flats and to BE
Unusually Spectacular.

JUNCTION CITY, Kan, Sept. 3.-The
plans for the big camp at Fort Riley during
the maneuvers show that the camp will be
one of the most spectacular ever planned
The 1900 troops that are to participate will
be encamped on the Republican river flats,
just north of Junction City, in the form of a
~gigantic fan, which will have its approach
near the bluffs a mile further north Of the
town. At the approach of the camp will be
the headquarters of the commanding gen.
eral and his staff. On the ribs of the fan will
be encamped in resimental formation the
various regiments and battalions of cavalry,
infantry, engineers and signal corps. and
the batteries of artillery composing the di-
vision of maneuver. The streets will divide
the camps and form, when tents are pitched,
the ribs of the fan. This form Of encamp-
ment will enable the commanding genera
to be at all times within easy communica-
ton with all parts of the camp.
An extensive line of water pipes will be
laid at the camp site before the arrival OF
the troops. The space between the head
quarters of the commanding general and the
camps various organizations will be large
enough for a.review of all the troops that
will be assembled on the reservation for the
m~aneuvers.

BEAUPRE TO BE UPHELD
COURSE OF Duh MINISTER TO COLON
BIA FULLY APPROVED.
His Activity at BOgOta I'm the In
terest of the Panama Canal
Treaty Endorsed.

WASHINGTON, Sept. additional in
the American minister at Bogota, reiterat-
ing the position Of this government regard
ing the canal treaty. The State Depart
ment assumes entire responsibility for the
representation Of Mr.. Beaupre to the Bogota
government concerning the treaty and his
activity In this direction in heartily in
dorsed by the President and Secretary
Hay. Minister Beaupre's latest instruc-
tons advise him that President Roosevelt
will not enter into any agreement with the
Colombian government which will hamper
his scope of action under the canal aw.
This government will not indicate what it's
course Of action will be in the event the
treaty is rejected.
DR.. Herran, the Colombian charge, will
be asked as to the truth of his reported
criticism of Minister Beaupre's activity at
Bogota. The alleged criticism by Mr.. Her
ran was not well received at the State De-
partment.
Mr.. Calvo, the Costa Rican minister, spent
some time at the State Department to-day
the canal situation. The visit was en-
tirely informal. Until Sept. q. when the
time for the ratification of the Hay-Herran
treaty expires, the Nicaraguan and Costa
Rican governments appreciate that 1t would
be improper for the United States to open
the canal by another route unless in the
meantime the Colombian Congress shall for
mally reject the treaty, which II has not
yet done.

trict who have stopped work viii have to
abide by our agreement with the Missouri
operators and go back to work. or get
out of the miners organization. We keep
our agreements 1t seems that the con-
tract in this district was to expire by linn
itation on Sept. /. but there was a pro-
vision by which the miners agreed to re-
main at work until a new scale could be
arranged. to be paid from Sept. / under the
new scale. This conference cannot be
held until Sept. 10. but in the meantime
the miners have walked out, while the
mines have heavy contracts on hand call
ing for daily shipments.
If the price and supply of labor is to be
determined by collective bargaining"-and
that seems the logical outcome of the pres
ent labor conditions-it is essential that
labor organizations keep their contracts.
The greatest grievance that capital has or
can have against organized labor is the
fact that it is likely to cause the employer
to find his production interrupted by a
strike for causes over which he has no
possible control and for which he is in no
wise responsible, such as the sympathetic
strike, the boycott strike, etc. The thing
that has made the railroad brotherhoods
so strong and prosperous is the example
set by Chief Arthur of keeping agreements,
no matter what circumstances might arise,
a policy with which the others have grad
ually fallen in line.
Nobody that makes anything of a study
of the labor question in its modern phases
can fail to note the necessity of the same
stability on the part of the labor organi-
cation that law and conditions require of
the employer. English courts have fast
ened this responsibility on the unions by
making their defense funds subject to
liability for damages, the same as the prop
erty of an individual. The American
courts nave not yet gone so far as this.
nor will they find it necessary. if the unions
will follow the few notable examples they
have before them and generally adopt the
policy of keeping their agreements.

LYNCHING AND CRIME.

The attorneys for Knapp, the monster
who made a regular practice of killing his
wives and found at least one victim of his
lust in a child. whom he ravished and muir
dered. nave failed In their effort to obtain
a new trial. and he will be executed in De-
cember. BY that time 1t will have taken
more than a year to put this villain out Of
the way, since he was first apprehended and
his guilt confessed. Strange as it may seem,
during a time when the lynching madness
seemed to be rife, the trial of this nhuman
fiend has been dragging along and justice
has been taking its proper course surely.
albeit slowly.
1t is one of the things that make us won
der whether it be true that the Nervousness
of crime has anything whatever to do with
the mob spirit. The annals of the country
have presented nothing worse than the
cases of Holmes and Knapp. both of whom
were apprehended in Indianapolis, and part
of whose crimes had been committed here;
but the mob spirit has never thrived in In
dianapolis. There have been occasional set
tos between gangs of ruffian boys, but any
thing in the nature of a dangerous. riotous
demonstration here has always been so
sternly repressed that the class of people
usually yearning for that sort of thing has
learned that it is not safe for them. Fur
thermore, the city has been fairly free from
a criminal floating population, such as COM
posed the Danville mob, and such as COM
poses most of the mobs, if the truth were
known.
The Journal believes that a reform of
court procedure involving less leniency
toward attorneys demanding delays or en-
deavoring to block justice with technicali-
ties would have a good effect, inasmuch as
it would remove all excuse for the mob; but.
after all, the great cure for the mob evil
is the stern and prompt use of force in dis
persing a riotous gathering without any
parleying or temporizing whatever. A mob
is always quick to see whether or not the
authorities have the courage to use cold
lead.
