Gave Away a Fortune.

Disguised by the chickering's and
opportunities of horde of relatives
who insisted that he divide a legacy
Of $4,000 among them and would
not permit him to divide it as he
saw fit, Benjamin w. Gist, a youn &
farmer near Falls City, drew the
money from the bank in $1,000 notes
and gave it away to the poor. Glst

The $40 900 was left to him by an uncle
AS he was already we'll to do, a lot of
his relatives talked of contesting his
uhcle's will to get share of the SAC, 900,
but did not do so. Recently when Gist
became of age the money was turned
over to him. He says he intended to di.
vide it among his relatives, but they
disguised him and finally he went to q
bank, drew out $4,000 in gold and
drove through the streets of the city
distributing it in SIS, $40 and 500
pieces to the poor. The deserving
and undeserving, the just and unjust
Jared alike. He saved many poor
family from want and frightened
many home. In 5000 he distributed
the entire $40, 900 and now he says he
has peace, although his relatives do
not speak to him. Gist is well known

Political Revolution.

Senator John T. Morgan Of Alabama
thinks that the people will get no re.
lief from the trusts until there is q
political revolution. Morgan IL the
secoid oldest man in congress and
much weight is given to his opinions.
He is recognized as q very able
man. Recently he took rap at congress
and party leaders, the most significant
part of which is liz the following:
II cannot see that there is any great
difference between the leaders of the
Democratic and Republican parties on
the question of trusts. Whatever par.
ty il out of power cries out against
the octopus. whatever party is In pow.
or hugs the octopus to it's breast.
Political utilization seems to be no shield
against the glitter of great wealth. The
strength corporate wealth has attained
in the United States is calculated to
fill one with awe. The PRESIDENT and
Congress are as pigmies beside it. It is
feared by the leaders OF both political
parties. The pot has no ground upon
which to criticise the kettles black.
ness. Democrats and republicans alike
on the stump rave and shout and pro.
fess eagerness to engage in mortal
combat with the giant. They come to
congress or assume executive Office and
their limbs are paralSzed and their
tongues silenced.
"Seldom il ever has a question of such
overwhelming Importance arisen in our
economic development. It is pressing
for solution and 1t will be solved. The
Republican party may solve it or the
Democratic party may solve it. It
may be that il no solution Is found a
new party will arise on the ruins of the
old ones. The solution may come soon
or it may be long delayed. It depends
how speedily the American people
awaken to their peril. am inclined to
believe there will be dark days before
the awakening comes-days full of
want and suffering and disaster. My
belief also Is that out of the demand
for solution Of this question will be
wrought a political revolution-a revo-
luton that will shake present par
ty organization at its base, perhaps
wipe it out"

As McNeal Sees it.

The following from last weeks Mail
and Breeze is full OF merit-much bet.
ter than Is usually seen in q republican
paper:
'.As the crowds continue to surge
about the corridors OF the Copeland
while the fellows who are fixing things
hold whispered conferences and give
out reports In regard to the exact sit.
uatiOn. the general public is growing
weary Of the struggle. weary of boss.
ism. weary OF this jangle and pulling
and hauling of members. weary of fac
tional politics and growing more and
more Of the opinion that senators
ought to be elected by q direct vote
of the people.
1T 10 said and justly that for the
first two weeks Of the session nothing
will be thought about or considered ex
cept the election OF United States
senator. The purpose for which the
members Of the legislature are sup.
posed to convene every two years will
be lost sight of. The question as to
what If any legislation is needed is not
cOneldered.
'All this is true. but after all 1t ia
not so certain that the state will suf-
fer any damage on account of it. 1t
there wasn't another general Or spe.
cial law placed on the statute books
this winter the people would hump
along and be just as happy. Four
tifths Of the money that is spent on
the legislature is thrown away so far
as the people deriving any benefit from
it is concerned. If the legislature fools
away three weeks tryihg to elect a sen.
atOr the people are not necessarily dam
aged. The trouble is that the legis.
lature Is liable to try to put through
just as much legislation In five weeks
as they usually do in eight and If so
the leglslstion will be even less con.
sidered than the legislation of past
sessions. AS 1t Is now half the bills
that pass the legislature pass by the
votes Of members who have no idea
as to what the bills contain. 1t is no
wonder that every once in awhile q
fool bill gets through and becomes
law; the wonder is that there is not
more rotten legislation than there is
Now II the legislature attemps to
crowd eight weeks work into five
this session will be more noted for
uncOnsidered laws than the average"

THERE Is no school district levy in
Eagle and Lake City, in the districts in
which Commissioners Lake and Grouse
live. That is one reason why their
taxes on an acre Of land are not as high
as in some other parts of the coun.
ty. In connection with this matter and
in reply to insinuations recently made
in the republican organ. Mr. Grouse says
he would like to unload bis land at SIS
an acre while land in Sharon township
sells at $45. The commissioners are
not evading any part of their taxes but
are paying their full share.

IT should be remembered that the
county commissioners have nothing
whatever to do with the township,
school district or state leyies. All they
do lie to make the county levy. That
is % mills. All the remaining portion
Of the taxes paid are for township,

When you come to sift this matter down
you can see how little the county COM

The Venezuelan Peril.

1t would seem that the Wanted di-
plomacy Of John Hay, and the we'll ad
vertised Americanlsm of the present
administra ton, might have been equal
to averting the sinking of the Venezue-
Ian fleet and the bombardment of
Caracas by the warships Of England
and Germany. 1t is quite true that the
responsibilities of the Monroe Doctrine
do not compel us to assist South Amer
lean republics to defraud their creditors
but when two land-grabbing powers,
one of them with very big axe to grind
in South America, show eagerness to
spend $2.000,0OO or more to collect
SAC, 600 debt, 1t is time for the Depart
ment of State to get busy. The
spokesman of the administration de.
clare that all the military and naval
plans of the creditor nations were sub
mitted to the president in advance,
and the exact distance they might 60
without spurring the United States to
action was indicated. This may be
true, but there is a legal maxim which,
extricated from its medieval Latin
reads: I'm time Of war law is SILENT"

from occupying foreign territory than
it Is to eject its forces when once in
possession. In this particular case the
debt which the two European COVER
ments are collecting at the muZzle of
the cannon are Of trifling amount, but
the expenses incurred by the employ
ment Of admirals and armored cruisers
as collection agents will be heavy. If
the country, or any part of it is
to be occupied until all is paid, the
Monroe Doctrine will undergo q severe
strain, and the task of enforc-.
ing it will bring our own nation peri.
lousy near to war. There are sus-
picious circumstances attending the
incident that should have put the ad-
ministration on its guard. Germany
has for years wanted a coaling station
and naval base in Caribbean waters.
