South Returns the Question.

Now, it is Illinois that is getting
back on the map by means of a lynch
ing. In the bad old years that are
gone it was often asked why it was
that the victim Of Judge Lynch in the
South was always a negro, and now it
may be asked with equal propriety
why the same charge is always true at
the North. In proportion to negro
population more negroes are lynehed
in Northern than in Southern States

What the Editors Say

The English are pre- eminently the
the naval nation, and their opinion on
ships of war is Of the highest value. A
high British authority, speaking of the
American fleet that just visited Eng
land, says: "Of course we have heard
a lot about the American fleets which
have been in building. We knew for
example, that the United States had SO
many battleships, so many cruisers,
and so many other classes of vessels
But seeing is believing. and every
British tar will have added respect for
the American navy as a result of the
visit of this overseas squadron. The
American ships have the bulldog
fighting look of the genuine thing. The
officers and crews look like under
standing people-like cool, dangerous
men, who could be counted on to fight
cheerfully and sink cheerfully if the
occasion required. And our admiralty
might have noted in the equipment of
these ships certain modern things CAL
culated to fill the sailors of less up-to
date fleets with feeling of doubt as
well as uneasiness." This is compli-
mentary and obviously sineere.-Du-

COUNTY MAKES IT GOOD.

The county commissioners yesterday
reduced the assessment of the Wash
ington & Columbia River railroad from
$3.50 to $4,000 a mile. The same thing
was done last year, but the republican
state board of equalization restored
the valuation to the original figures
fixed by County Assessor Cadman. AS
a result the county had to make good
to the state a balance of $511.87 due
on the taxes of the railroad company.
No doubt the state board will do the
same thing this year and the county
will again have to hand over 10 the
state the difference in the amount of
taxes 1t is little tough on the tax
payers of the county but as the rail
roads are quite liberal in the distri-
button of free passes among county
officials. such little matters should
perhaps be overlooked.
In Montana railroads are being be.
ing assessed at from $50 900 to $4,000
mile, according to classification, but
money is easy in Montana and people
no doubt have exaggerated ideas OF
values, as was proven recently by the
offer Of $250,000 to Judge Harvey by
a son of Senator Clark as a mere in
nocent inducement for the judge tc
admit that he had been bribed by
Heinze to make a certain decision in
the Minnie Healy mining case

GOVERNMENT BY SYNDICATES

Governor LaFOllette Of Wisconsin
is delivering speeches throughout the
eastern states that are causing a
great deal of uneasiness among the
plutocrats in control of the republican
party. Like Governor Mcbride, La
Toilette has some old-fasniOned dem
ocratic ideas of honesty and decency
in public life and he does not hesitate
to express them at every opportunity.
From the allegations of the Outspoken
Wisconsin governor we are led to be-
lieve that the control Of legislative
bodies by corrupt Hobbies and the en-
ployment of bribery and intimidation
on the part of corporation agents to
secure legislation favorable to their
interests or to defeat legislation de-
manded by the common people are not
confined to the state of Washington.
George Stevenson has his counterpart
in nearly every state of the Union.
Governor LaFollette says:
To-day great aggregations of cor
porate wealth buy immunity from tax
alton in our legislatures and throw
the burden upon every individual TAX
payer.
THE people are losing control of
their own government. It's foundation
is being Slapped and it's Integrity de
stroyed The great danger menacing
republican institutions today is the
overbalancing control Of city, state
and national legislatures by the power
and wealth of public service corpora
lions"
wherever we bring any serious
and alarming phase of this inquiry to
light, we discover that it is the insep-
arabic relationship of the political
machine with corporate power that
| corrlpts legislation. This is a gov

eminent by corporations; it is not

eminent by corporations; it is not
a government by the people"
He says that the corporations secure
legislative control sometimes by
straight, simple bribery, sometimes
by alluring deals and promises OF po-
litical preferment and sometimes by
threats of ruin in business or politics.
Thus do they defraud the public
of it's rights, defeat legislation
for the general good, and pass laws to
promote private interests" The gov
ernor quotes letter from a United
States senator, asserting that the rail-
road influence is dominant IN that
body. which confirms the general be-
lief of we'll informed people.
Governor LaFollette sums up the In
dustrial and political conditions in this
country in this incisive fashion:
I'VE are building up colossal for
tunes, granting unlimited power to
corporate organizations and consoll-
dating together business interests as
never before in the commercial history
of the world. but the people are losing
control of their own government. Its
foundations are being Slapped and it's
integrity destroyed

SHOULD RAISE THE VALUATIONS

AS the Statesman has pointed out
Iark stock this year should have been
ssed under the general revenue
law. every part of which was still IN
fore C1 March /, the date set for the
fixing Of taxable values. The new law
allowing banks to make their own as
sess.nauts. a privilege not given to
any otter class of taxpayers, did not
go into eject until some time after
March /. The county is now putting
I'D a fight in Judge Hanford's court
AGAINST the reduction of the assess
ment of bank stock made last year I'M
der the law still in effect when this
years assessment was made. In order
to be consistent and not damage its
own case, the county should raise this
years assessment of bank stock to the
figures of last year. To do otherwise
would be to confess that last years
valuation was too high and that the
First National Bank is justified in its
suit to restrain the treasurer from
collecting the tax. The commissioners
should see the point and act accord
ingly. The additional tax is badly
needed to help pay for that new
twenty thousand-dollar poor house and
to offset the loss to the county caused
by the reduction in the assessment OF
railway trackage.

BERNARD DAHL,s RECITAL

lone of the most .satisfa ctory pupil S
reeftals given in Minneapolis recently was
that of Bernard Dahl, a pupil of Hermann
e. Zoch, at the First Unitarian church last
evening. Mr.. Dahl gave evidence of San
abundance of preparation and reserve He
is also blessed with sufficient physical
strength to meet any demands required by
the ordinary program, so that the listener
has no fears but that he will achieve
what he plans.
Mr.. Dahls program was played without
notes, and comprised Beethoven's Sonata
Op. 2S;'' Chopins .Etude Op. 10, No 81
three Mendelssohn's Songs, and the
Schubert Fantasia in G. Minor, Op 49,
The player, while doing excellent work in
all of these numbers, displayed strong
prediction for the legato passages, giving
especially well the. .andante movement in
the sonata and the first two movements in
the fantasia. The Chopin study required
and received careful and intelligent treat
ment while the Mendelss ohm numbers
were well played and earned for Mr. Dahl
an enthusiastic encore. His technique is
much better than that achieved by the
average pupil.
The entire auditorium was filled with
the friends Of the young man who were
interested in his success and thoroly en-
tertained by his unusual proficiency.
