 Father Slocum dealt a heavy blow to those who have been flaming the dissensions in various ways, referring particularly to newspaper articles. When man writes incendiary news paper articles, that spur men on to riot, and in the riot men get shot, it is not the man who writes the newspaper article gets shot" he said. The ser mon was preached three times, each time to larger congregation, the church being crowded to the doors at last mass.
 From the Hartford Post news col umns of yesterday we clipped this paragraph. We want to Inform Edi- tor Wells that Father Slocum made no such remarks as quoted above at the last mass The editor of this paper was present at the service, and was an attentive listener to Father Slo- cun's sermon, and his scathing denun- citation of men who would incite riot and of women who countenance and help it on by their presence and words of encouragement Not a word. how ever. was said about newspapers or editors.

Get Rich auack scheme Nipped.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Many of the hundreds of investors in the Infaliible Safety Wheat syndicate who have been clamoring by letter for their profits will be interested to learn that four of the operators of that alleged ''get rich quick concern have been arrested at the main office, 18 Broadway. All of their books, circulars and letters were seized. The books contain the names of those who sent $50 expecting to reap a profit of $4OO, which was set forth in the alluring circulars sent over the country It is estimated by the police from the receipts for money sent to the syndicate during the last three months that they must have netted at least $50,0OO Their subscribers include phy- sicians, merchants, ministers and city
 officials in various parts of the country.

President Rooseyelt's message to congress-, transmitted last week, con- stitutes a most remarkable recognition of some of the monetary theories ad- vanced by MT Bryan, says our Wash ington correspondent. Accompanying the presidents communication were notes received from Mexico and China requesting the United States to join with them in an international move ment to establish standard for sil- ver the depreciation and fuctuation of which was causing untold loss to the countries named and to the Philippines and French and British colonies In view of the fact that characterization has resulted in so serious deprecia- tion of silver, it is suggested that the ratio now be fixed at 32 to 1. The president requests that he be empow- cred to take the steps suggested. He has also requested that congress au- thorize the appointment of three com missioners to meet with commission CTS from the countries named and an effort will be made to enlist the coop eration of Great Britain and France. Addressing himself to the subject of the proposed plan, a leading member of the senate, and one who has most vigorously opposed every theory ad- vanced by MT Bryan, said to the cor respondent: On it's surface the plan appeals to me. If we were to insist on gold basis in the Philippines and 1t were to become necessary for all the silver using countries to follow suit, it

The editors about the state, for want of something better to do, are now whacking at Mayor Kilduff for not throttling the strike in it's infancy, and for not preventing the riot of Sat urday night. Perhaps if the mayor knew what was coming he would have had the c. N. C.. here earlier. He didn't dream of such state of affairs, nor did, any other man or woman in the city. It was a spontaneous out break, which gathered force so quick ly that the mayor and the police de partment were taken unawares. It is easy enough to tell how to handle such an affair. Perhaps those who are condemning the mayor as incom- petent would not do half So well as he has under like circumstances. How ever, what is past and gone cannot be remedied. What is wanted now is firmness on the part of the officials in handling the affair, and an unbending on both sides of the strike controversy. It looks now as though it were up to Colonel Burpee to do something. He is the representative of the trolley company, he is the judge of our city court, he is one of the leading attorneys of the city, and on top of all these honors and high positions he is now appointed to active military duty in this city. The colonel has the key to the situation. Meet the men, colonel, and adjust the differences, and let us get rid of these military men. Their hearts are not in their work here, any way. Yield point or two, if neces- sary, to bring peace. We have it from what we consider good authority that the men are willing to concede point or two if the company will do the same. Get together, gentlemen, and let peace reign once more in the City of Brass

{ KANSAS CITY, Kan, Feb. 3.-Judge EIIison in the court of appeals here held that city employees have no right to sell their salaries until they have re ceived the variants and the cash has been paid on them. The decision was in the case of a local loan agency which had bought at big discount the nnearned salary of an employee of the water department. The city auditor refused to honor the claim, and the company sued and was upheld by the lower court, which is now reversed.

The Philippine committee

The Philippine committee has amended the house, bill lowering the duty on Philippine imports so that it now provides that 30 per cent of the Dingley rates shall be collected on Philippine sugar and tobacco and all other Philippine products shall be ad- mitted to this country duty free. As sugar and tobacco constitute almost the entire exportable products of the islands, however, the amendment IS a concession of 9 per cent to the sugar and tobacco interests, at the expense of the Philippines.

$ manage his trolley lines, but we have a doubt about hi being able to success fully conduct newspaper, judging from his attack on the Democrat yes terday It is very evident that MT Sewell would find himself in just as much of a dilemma as he is in at the present time. An editor must never lose his head, and it is evident that the trolley manager lost his yesterday when he gave our reporter the inter- view we carried in our news columns last evening Perhaps MT Sewell thought we would not publish it, but as the scribe visited the manager in his official capacity what the mana ger said was given to the public, just as he said it, and just as we have been giving the news since this strike be- gan, truthfully andaccurately. MT Sew els statement was made in the excite ment of the moment and needs no con tradiction from us and it will fall of it's own weight, for the Democrat is too well known to be seriously troubled or bothered by any such accusation. If we have not pleased the trolley company by our at tftude on this strike. we have the sat isfaction of knowing that the people are with us. The Democrat from the very first has refused to publish "wild cat stories, which only served to add fuel to the flame that has been smoul- dering until it broke out last Satur- day night. We have consigned dozens of communications to the waste bas- ket, some of which wouldn't be very pleasing to MT Sewen or his bosses. The Democrat has from the very first, MT SeweU, refused to give light to anony communications attacking you and the officers of the 0. R. & l.. Go from A. M. Young down to the car starter We have given no space to anonymous writers, and perhaps the Democrat is the only paper in the city that can make this statement truth fully. We have not, however, smothered any of the real news, nor do we intend to. The people want it, they are paying for it, and we shall endeavor to give it to them, free from dynamite and boulder scares. That the people appreciate this is shown by the increased circulation of our paper. Last evening we didn't have papers enough to go around and we printed JUST 7O4 MORE PAPERS THAN WE DID SATURDAY NIGHT, AND 1929 MORE THAN WE PRINTED BEFORE THE STRIKE COM AVENGED. Thus you see. MT Sewell, our course is upheld by the people generally, even if everything we print is not pleasing to the rich corporation you represent. There is no need of our telling you that we are opposed to mob law and violence. Tn your pres ent state you wouldn't believe it per- haps, but we expect when this trouble clears away you will see things differ ently. There is right and wrong side to every argument said a well known preacher last Sunday, ''and in the end right is sure to win.''

speak OF the matter to her parents. On
thanksgiving day, 1891, she left her

DISORDERLY HOUSE
CASE DRAWS CROWD
Many Witnesses Testify as to Char
acter of the lreton Saloon.

The trial of the case of the state
against Tom Ireton, the first of the
'disorderly house cases, was COM
menced before Judge Kelly in the
criminal division of the district court
yesterday. The large court room on
the top floor of the court house was
filled with spectators, standing room
being at premium during the entire
day
County Attorney Kane is devoting
his personal attention to the prosecu-
ton, and as this is the first of a series
of similar cases which are to be tried
during the present term of court, the
county attorney is making every effort
to secure a conviction. Attorney Har-
yey Hail. Mr.. Kane's opponent during
the recent campaign, has been retained
by Ireton.
A dozen or fifteen women, their
faces plainly showing the effects of
years of dissipation, were in court as
witnesses. They are said to have been
wine room sitterS" at Ireton's saloon
a Eighth and Jackson streets, and had
been subpoenaed by the prosecution for
the purpose of showing the character
| of the place conducted by the defend
ant.
Several of these women were called
to the stand yesterday, and told of
having frequented the saloon, where
they were in the habit of meeting men
and drinking. Some admitted that
they had~been drunk in the place. Sew
eral city detectives testified that the
place conducted by Ireton was disor-
derby, and that they had often been
called to the place.
Considerable progress was made in
the case yesterday, and it will go to a
jury some time today.

Crime of the Youngers.
The crime for which Cole Younger
and his two brothers, Jim and Bob,
We're sentenced to the state prison for
life was the raid on the Mortified
bank, Sept. Z, 1876. During the raid
Cashier Haywood was killed in the
bank and young man was shot on
the street when the gang was escap-
ing. The three yOungers were captur-
ed Sept. IS, 1876, and on Nov IS were
sentenced to prison for the term of
their natural life. They arrived at the
prison Nov. q, 1876. Sept. 16, 1889,
Bob Younger died in prison from con-
sumption. July 10, 1901, Cole and Jim
Younger We're paroled. Oct. II Jim
Younger committed suicide at st. Paul
by shooting himself.
Frank and Jesse James, who were
supposed to have been with the gang
at Mortified, split out from the other
members of the band shortly after
leaving Mortified and escaped arrest.
Never since their capture and sentence
has anyone been able to secure from
the Youngers either a confirmation or
denial as to whether the James bows

MINNESOTA TRANSFER
FREE FROM TAXATION
Cannot Be Compelled to Pay State q
Tax on Its Gross Earnings.

minor irregularity in the last an
nual report of the Minnesota Transfer
company has been the cause, through
an investigation by the railroad and
warehouse commission, of relieving the
company from payment of taxes in the
future.
The investigation by the commission
was made to ascertain if the company
should be required to include certain
Items in its annual report, and it was
discovered in looking over the law that
the company could not be compelled to
pay any taxes whatever on its gross
earnings. AS it is the agent of a syn
dictate of railroads, and merely handled
freight for those railroads it was found
that the law did not require the Trans
fer company to pay any taxes on it's
gross. earnings.
Though the company will have no
right to sue the state to make restitu-
ton it might petition the legislature to
refund the money paid in. 1t is under,
stood, however, that the Transfer com.
pany is content with being relieved
from payment of taxes in the future
and will allow the money paid in the
past to remain in the trea.ury of the
state.
