Paving the Penalty.

The predicament in which \. \.
.Nmes, for many years mayor of Min
Ineapolis. now finds himself, is one
which ought to be more powerful than
volume of sermons in illustrating
the great truth that wrong doing
does not pay, and sooner or. later is
bound To bring the transgressor to Il
sad and melancholy end.
The dispatches recently told of how
Ames. Il fugitive from justice. has
been found in an obscure town in the
state of New Hampshire, Il physical
wreck, and evidently also on the verge
of Il mental collapse.
1t is not necessary to recite in de-
tail the long, sensational and notori-
Gus official career of this man. j is
we'll known in the west. Ames was Il
man of good ability. Nature had been
sufficiently kind TO him so that he
did not need to lead the life of an
official crook in order to make pro
gress in the world. He made his bed
with deliberatiOn. He aligned himself
with the scum which floats to the
surface in every large city. He con
scented to accept the support of those
municipal buccaneers who prey upon
the people of the urbane community
Such a dynasty of outlawry may be
able to perpetuate itself for few
years. but its downfall will eventu
ally take place.
| The day came when Minneapolis
ike Il great lioness. arose from her
slumber. The manner in which whole
sale corruption was exposed, and the
guilty brought to the bar of Justice
is familiar history. Ames heard o1
the coming storm, and fed. The de
tectives. however, were upon hi.
track, and although once or twice
he succeeded in eluding them. they
found him at last.
There is Il talk of fighting extradi
ton papers. 1t is possible that the
experts in legal technicality may bt
able to prevent him from being takeT
back to the community which. as al
official, he has done so much to de
bauch. But over and above all these
contingencies arises the fact that ;
man of high official position, spen
years in sowing TO the wind. and j.
now reaping whirlwind more devas
tating than anything of which ht
probably ever dreamed
In St. Louis scores of men hav,
lately been convicted and sentenced t.
terms of imprisonment for doing tn,
things of which Ames was guilty.
These are the penalties men have tC
pay for wrong doing, and in til,
case of Ames. his is a greater pun
fshment than mere fines or imprison
ment. Not only morally, but physical
ly and mentally. he is an abiect, mis-
cradle and pitiable wreck.

Leo NH, who celebrated the 25th
anniversary of his coronation as pope
the other day, was SO years old Mon
day. 1t is worth notice that out of
263 occupants of the pontiff's chair
fewer than half a dozen have retain
ed it longer than he. Since the re-
turn of the papacy from Avignon to
Rome, only one pOntiff, Paul ~, has
attained an age equal to that of Leo
NH. Should the present pontiff live
a few months more he will have bro
ken all records of longevity.

Retrospective View.

The average man will remember this
winter for the size of the coal bill.
When he is grayheaded he will call his
great grandchildren around him and
say: You should have lived back in
the winter of 1902-1903 That was the
time when Il mans coal bills para
lyzed him. 1t was hard work to get
enough coal to keep warm with. What
made it so high? Well, combination
of circumstances. Let me see. let me
see! As l recall them. one of them
was a big hard coal strike that lasted
all summer and that stopped the min
ing of hard coal. Consequently when
winter approached more people had
to buy soft coal. Why, youngsters,
it was impossible for months to get
hard coal at all. Then it was charged
that an operators trust held the soft
coal supplies for higher prices. In
addition, the great railroad traffic and
the manufacturing boom increased
the demand right in the soft coal re-
gions. Why, youngsters, that winter
the railroads would appropriate a
fellows coal in transit. In one town
the people wanted coal so bad that
they turned out enmasse and stole a
whole train load. Yes. sir, and even
judges on the bench would not fine a
fellow for hooking a bushel of coal
with which to keep warm. l never
saw anything like it. Give us coal
coal was what all the retailers were
telegraphing to the mines. In some
towns the retailers even could not get
this fuel. The price of coal scared
up like a lark. I was accustomed to
buying coal by the ton. but that win
ter / was forced to get it by the bush
Ell. Freeze to death! Yes, in some of
the large cities people persisted from
cold because they could not procure
fuel. Yoh youngsters don't know any
thing about scarcity of fuel. You
ought to have lived back there in
