Grooming Tom Bishop.

Iroqouis Chief: The Chief learns
that friends Of Thomas W. Bishop,
editor Of the Salem Special, are push
ing him for the position of comman-
dant Of the Soldiers home. To this
suggestion this paper desires to say
amen. Mr.. Bishop is an old soldier
with a fine war record, a business
mar of exceptional ability, and with
his good hard sense combines a jolly
temperament that makes him popular
with his fellow man. If the board is
looking for a new commandant for
the home the interests of the old
comrades of the state would be best
subserved by the selection Of the
Salem editor, and it would be a good
idea to cinch him before he has a
chance to change his mind.

Agin Taxing the Bachelor.

Will Chamberlain in Elk Point
Leader: AS If Dakota was not al
ready and fully and overwhelmingly
taxed for town purposes and state
purposes; taxed by the oil and coal
combines and dozens Of other Shylock
declarations, some of the editors who
advertise for cabbages in the sum-
mer and cobs and cottonwood in
winter are advocating a tax on
bachelors. Gods Of our fathers, what
next! And is the bachelor timid and
elusive, to be.. dragged.from his seclu-
sion beneath his own little vine and
fig tree into the glare and glamour Of
the public gaze and hitched to a
modern belle? Not as long as the
vitriol will cling to our pen point.
We are a champion Of human liberty,
we are, and the notice is hereby
drafted and duly delivered. Usually
the man who breaches that bachelors
and maids ought to marry for the
good Of society and the state is a
fellow who goes humping up and
down the earth with a kid peeking
out from every corner of a schooner
wagon and a wife who looks as if she
was sick Of life. But just now some
of the scribes, growing sassy and un-
wise from warming their corns at cob
fires and dining on pancakes made
from second grade flour, have taken
up the cudgel. But they will be
getting windmills, even as Cervantes'
hero was, and in the meantime the
lonely bachelor will clean up his
seed wheat and dig into his pit to
see if his potatoes kept, and snap his
fingers at the sardine who would lay
a tax on his peaceful head.

THE NELSON AMENDMENT

New York Evening Post: 1T is a
bill to gather information. 1t aims
to let in the light. Its design is to
place president and congress in a po-
sition to legislate intelligently. There
ale no threats in the bill, 10 fines,
no penalties; no restrictions on the
conduct Of business; no covert TAXA
tion of lawful enterprise. What we
have is simply a national proposal
to ascertain facts respecting certain
corporations whose scope is national.
Right there, however, they 1.-THE or
porations) Join issue and declare the
bill mot acceptable"
Saying nothing now of their selfish
and d%ictatorial tone, and the way in
which they stupidity delivered their
Philistin selves into the hands Of
the enemy, it is obvious that they
were most unfortunate in their
choice Of attack. To fight the CIV
ing Of information is always a losing
battle in a democracy. When a bust
ness visibly affects the public inter
est, the public has a right to know
what manner of business it is. The
trusts complain that legislation di-
rected against them is wholly in the
dark. Very well; here is a chance
for them to come out into the light
and give all the facts upon which
intelligent men and honest legisla-
tors may frame their judgment as
to what, if anything, ought to be
done. But that publicity, which they
really ought to covet, which is, in
truth, only what is exacted of rail
way companies and what such a cor
poration5 as the steel trust volun-
teers, they resist in a way at once
naughty and blind.
The amendment which so need
lessly excites their ire is in reality |
a beginning Of wisdom in a matter
which has too long been left chaotic.
In the proposed bureau Of corpora
tions we have an adumbration Of
national incorporation, or something
analogous to the companies, act Of
English pratcice-that goal to which
we are surely tending. We have also
a fair and reasonable measure Of pub
licity. This is needed, not only to
make subsequent legislation intelli-
gent, but to protect, as far as may
be, the investing public. OF course,
you cannot prevent in any way the
investor who is determined to be
gulled from suffering the conse-
quences of his folly. Not publicity,
but common sense, is what he lacks
and that can never be supplied by
statute. There is no good reason,
however, why as much protection
should not be accorded the investor
in corporate shares as in railway
stocks. At any rate, the f@urtive
policy cannot be forever maintained.
We read of call in the-dark" services
in English churches, designed to
make the poor feel more at ease;
but the day Of ''all-in-the-darkn
corporate finance is rapidly passing. |
ssAcceptable'' or not, corporations
engaged in interstate commerce have
got to submit to reasonable publicity:
for the people are bound to know the
facts. and to act upon their knowl-
edge as they may deem wise.

band. Flint could not fafhom it. He
could only obey.
And now, with the general gone and
Beverly Field away, with Hay home
and secluded by orders from all ques-
tioning or other extraneous worry,
with the wounded soldiers safely
trundled into hospital, garrison inter-
est seemed to center for the time
mainly in that little Ogallala maid
Flint's sole Sioux captive, who was
housed, said the much interrogated
domestic, in Mrs. Hays own room in
stead of Miss Flowers, while the lady
of the house, when she slept at all,
occupied sofa near her husbands
bedside.
Then came the tidings that Blake,
with the prisoners from No Wood
Creek and Bear Cliff was close at
hand, and everybody looked with
eager eyes for the coming across the
snowy prairie Of that homeward-
bound convoy-that big village of the
Sioux, with it's distinguished captives,
wounded and unwounded; one of the
former. the young sub-chief Eagle
Wing, alias Moreau-one Of the latter
a self-constituted martyr, since she
was under no official restraint-Nan-
cite Flower, lowering ever about the
litter bearing that sullen and still de-
fant brave, whose side she refused to
leave.
Not until they reached Fort
Frayne; not until the surgeon, after
careful examinations declared there
was no need Of taking Moreau into
hospital-no reason why he should
not be confined in the prison room Of
the guardhOuse-Were they able to
induce the silent, almost desperate
girl to return to her aunt. Not until
Na1ette realized that her warrior
was to be housed within wooden walls
whence she would be excluded, could
Mrs. Hay, devoted to the last, per-
suade the girl to reoccupy her old
room and to resume the dress of
civilization. Barring that worsted
hood, she was habited like a chief
tain's daughter, in gaily beaded and
embroidered garments, when recap
tured by Blake's command. Once
within the traders door, she had shut
herself in her old room, the second
floor front, refusing to see anybody
from outside the house, unless she
could be permitted to receive visits
from the captive Sioux, and this the
major, hintily, forebade. It was
nightfall when the itter-bearers
reached the post, Hays rejoicing
mules braying unmelodious ecstacy at
sight Of their old stable. It was dark
when the wounded chief was borno
into the guard-house, uttering not q
sound, and Nanette was led within
the traders door, yet some one had
managed to see her face, for the story
went all over the wondering post that
very night-women fitting with it
from door to door-that every vestige
of her beauty was gone-she looked
at least dozen years older. Blake.
when questioned, after the first rap
ture of the homecoming had sub
sided, would neither affirm nor deny.
"She would neither speak to me nor
harken." said he, whimsically. "The
