committee and republican whip" of the
House, is in the city. He will attend TO
some departmental business for his con-
stituents and then go to ST. Louis for the

1.-The people of the west, said Mr.. Taw-
ney to a Star reporter today "are de-
lighted over the decision of the court in
the Northern Securities case and regard it
as substantial victory of the law over the
trusts Naturally President Roosevelt gets
a great deal of credit, because he initiated
the prosecution.
II may add that the republican party
comes in for some of the credit. 1t would
appear from the loud outcries in trust
quarters that somebody is doing business,
and that somebody is the republican party,
as the people understand it.
1.-THE west is in good shape politically, in
dustrially and financially. Prosperity is
still at high tide. and 1t looks as if the

NO COURT-M ARTIAL
OFFICERS IMPLICATED IN PORTO
RICO SMUGGLING.
Neither the Navy Nor the War Depart
ment Likely to Take Any Action
in the Case.

The smuggling scandals in Porto Rico
have given rise to considerable gossip in
official circles and there is a wide diversity
of opinion to how the matter should be
treated in this city, regardless of the result
of the, proceedings in San Juan. The off,
GERS more or less implicated are Rear Ad-
miral Yates Stirling Captain Andrew Dun
lap, Commander G. W. Mentz, Surgeon
Lowndes and Paymasters Merritt and Mo-
hun of the navy and Captain Crabbes, quar-
termaster of the army. Some of those
named have been indicted, while others
have been penalized under the treasury Gus
toms regulations.
The point has been made that the officers
connected with the smuggling operations
have undoubtedly violated the regulations
of the service to which they belong and are
amenable to trial On the charge of conduct
unbecoming an officer and gentleman or
the charge of conduct to the prejudice of
good order and military discipline regard
less Of the result of the civil proceedings
against them for bringing liquors and other
dutiable articles into the island without
payment of duty in violation of the customs
law.
View of Strict Constructionists.
The strict constructionists in the service
hold that there is no difference in the case
from moral. purely moral, standpoint, if
the goods in question were surreptitiously
landed for the purpose of evading the pay
ment of duty. whether they were intended
simply for private consumption or whether
they were intended for sale for profit They
say the intent was the same in both cases,
viz, to evade the payment of the legal
charges.
On the other hand, it is contended that
the matter has been already investigated
by Secretary Moody and Postmaster Cen
eral Payne, and that the interests of the
government have been already satisfied by
the payment of the heavy penalties usually
imposed in such cases. Moreover, that it
has been decided after thorough considera-
ton of the cases by the officers named, and
the Secretary of the Treasury and the At
torney General that there was no occasion
for any further proceedings in the mat
ter.
Court Martial Not Likely.
In accordance with this decision, it is not
regarded as at all likely that either the
Navy or the War Department will take any
steps toward bringing the officers con-
cerned to trial by military tribunal At
any rate, 1t Is stated in the law offices of
both departments that the matter is not
even under consideration and that nothing
has been done looking to the court-martial
of any of the officers.

j. Sam Watson, a Galloway
county farmer, is knocking on
barbed wire fences. He says they
have played enough havoc" with
horses in Galloway county to
fence every farm in the county
with woven fence five feet high
and woven fence to match. "PrOb-
ably he could as truly make the
same statement of almost every
county in Missouri. A few weeks
ago." said Mr.. Watson, 1 select
ed a comparatively busy day in
town while the hitching rack
around the public squire was near
ly entirely taken up with farmers
teams and concluded that | would
examine the horses aud see how
many were blemished by having at
some time or other come i'll con-
tact with barbed wire. Well, sir,
don't you know that while did
not go half way around the square.
probably did not see all the
scratches, l actually found fully
two-thirds of the animals wearing
wire marks in some place or anOth-
er. 1t is really astonishing what
it costs the farmer to put barbed
wire fence on his farm. One thing
certain, though, they are fast see
ing the folly OF it aud the barbless
cable wire and woven wire fence
is fast supplautiug the havoc play
er aud in a few years the horse
with barbed wire scaas will be diff
ficult to find. "-Moutgomery Tri-

How 10 b Happy.

AS train was rushing along It
almost lightning speed the engin-
Ger saw an object on the track. H.
pulled the whistle cord, but tn
quick, sharp signal did not cause
the object to move. He reversed
the engine: saw it was a human
being-a woman. He threw him
self on the front of the engine ard
by hazard to himself saved her. 81 e
was deaf aud as her face was turn
ed frem the approaching train she
could not see her danger.
SO many stand to day while a
greater danger sweeps on before
them. We must rescue them. Bul
what was the effect upon that en-
kineeri. He felt a deeper interest
in her afterwar d. Whenever Oppur-
tunity present itself he goes to see
how that poor old woman does and
carries with him something for her
comfort But more than this, he
feels quicker pulsatlon in his
heart towards others. He would
gladly do another deed like that
OF the two he was the happier.
If you want to be happy, If you
wish to forgot your own woes, II
you wish to have more of good
will in your heart, go thou aud do
likewise. Save some one, if you
have it in your power. The needy,
surrOwing aud wretched are to be
found everywhere. A kind word
may save them. Speak that loving
good word today, do that good
deed o day and be happy.
