MISDIRECTED ENERGY.

Carrie Nation has again been thrown into Jail for
destroying property. With three other women, she
attacked liquor warehouse at Wichita, Kan, and
proceeded to smash in some plate glass windows. In
Jail she knelt down and prayed the while demand
ing the return of her hatchet, which she is reputed
to "cherish
Mrs Nation is correct in her view that the liquor
traffic is bad thing. Few persons would undertake
to deny her belief As a rue-and rules ego" in
this Countrywide man who uses intoxicating liquor
is not as well off as the man who does not use it.
There is no question: either, that absolute prohib
tion would, so far as the moral and financial status
of the whole people is concerned, result in a
higher standard all around.
But it is impossible to see wherein Mrs. Nation
is helping the cause for which she claims to be work
ing Indeed, it is difficult to understand that she
is not njuring it irreparaby Her crusades are made
the laughing stock of the country and bring into rid
icule and contempt the earnest efforts of those tenn
perance people whose wel-directed efforts have ac-
complished much good. The ordinary mortal will
be unable to realize in what possible manner Mrs
Nations course in smashing the plate glass win
dows at the warehouse can assist the prohibition
cause Nor is there any apparent reason in her sys
TEN of smashing the heads of barkeepers and sa-
loonmen generally
The individual-man or woman-who resorts to
such methods as those which have characterized the
career of Mrs Nation puts himself on equal with
other wrongdoers. The law very explicitly provides
that person shall not destroy the property Of
o4I,o e -,
than the men upon whom her wrath has fallen.
For the benefit of the temperance cause, such
women as Mrs. Nation should be Immediately and
eectuay restrained and subjected to treatment for
mental disorder.

A MAN AMONG MEN.

Even at the advanced age of IS, the United States
could ill afford to lose George Frisbie Hoar senior
senator from Massachusetts, Few men were his equal
and his passing takes from us one of our most bril-
liant and upright statesmen. For nearly half CEN
tury Senator Hoar had been conspicuous In public
life, and, while at times he may have assumed po-
stions which did not meet with the approval of the
majority. no one could question his honesty OF pur
pose-which, after ALL is the greatest qualification
of life
Senator's Hoar's persistent sense of right oc-
casonaly led him to extremes. All of us well re-
member the Washington city incident in which the
senator turned his back upon Editor Scott of the
Oregonian. Mr.. Scott had spoken very unkndly Of
the United States senate, and the Massachusetts,
statesman regarded the attacks of the Oregonan as
a personal assault upon every member of that ex-
alted body. Most politicians would have overlooked
the editors unkndly reference to the senate out of
desire to promote friendly relations with man
of influence But Senator Hoar was no such man
He was thoroughly and at all times honest, and 'po
icy' was never a consideration with him. When
his party in congress announced Philippine atti-
tude with which he could not agree, he promptly
joined the democrats in their attacks upon that pol
icy, and to the time of his last illness used his ut
most endeavors to bring about what he believed to
be the proper condition of affairs.
Men of this caliber are few Most of are tactful
willing to concede our opinions and forsake our
principles for temporary sef-advancement. But no
such consideration ever moved Senator Hoar, whose
fatering. He lived for the people whom he so ably
represented and for the republic he loved so we'll
He was man among men, and his memory will long
be cherished, not alone by the people of his own
state, but as well by those of the entire nation.

was not ct the time the. code went
into effect member of the police
force, qualification that is necessary
under the provisions of the code.
When the election of mayor took
place, the appointment of this party
to the position of chief Of police was
made an issue. The Republican nomi-
nee was defeated by the Prohibition
nominee. The passage of the code
and the provision pertaining to the
appointment of this officer threatened
to defeat them of the fruit of the
victory, but the friends of the candi-
date were in nowise nonpulsed by the
new conditions, they at once proceed
ed to appoint the party slated, as
temporary chief, this temporary ap-
pointment was in time made perma-
nent by unblushing efforts on the
part of the board of public safety in
favor of this candidate. The city So
licitor in order to head off the fragrant
violation of law appealed to the com
mon pleas court for an injunction to
restrain the appointment but failed
to secure the restraining order. The
attorney general of the state had his
attention called to the condition of
affairs and at once began proceedings
in the supreme court to oust the OFF,
cial in question from ONCE.
The friends of the CHER now threat
en- to enjoin the payment of the fees
and costs of the city's part in the
controversy. The case has been pro-
nounced one of great Importance by
the attorney general. He says that
If the appointment is upheld that the
merit provision of the code is worth
less. 1t is thought that in the event
the appointment is found to have
been contrary to law that in order to
prevent repetition Of such actions
that some severe measures may be
taken, in which event there may be
some vacant positions In the official
force of that city and some sadder
but wiser partisans, who have felt
themselves superior to the law of the
state.
One of the rankest violations of
the provisions of the code was the
unblushing solicitations on the part
of the partisans of the proposed chief
to have him appointed. This solici
tation was carried so far that the at
torney general was himself appealed
to to interpret the code in a manner
to help their favorite.
The zeal of the violators of the
law is worthy of better cause for
they are going to make an effort to
sustain their action in the supreme
court. This is where those who have
watched the situation say surprise
will be in store for the parties who
have assumed too much.
Going on the theory that the su
preme court will uphold the ignoring
of the merit clause of the code. the
same city is at the present time trying
in the fire department to repeat the
police methods and have held the ex
aminations of firemen with the object
in view of appointing chief out oi
the classified service.

STOCKS

New York, Jan. GA renewal of war
apprehensions resulted in increased de-
pressions at the stock exchange to-
day. The selling impetus, as usual
since the fear of bostilities became
acute, was originated in London, which
sent lower quotations for all her Sc
curities as well as Americans and fol-
lowed them up with large sales in the
local market.
In addition to war influences, cOnsid-
cradle adverse effect upon sentiment
was produced by the statement of
earnings of the United States Steel
corporation for 1903 and the passing
of the dividend on the common stock.
In the late afternoon very definite
rumors that war had actually broken
out became current and resulted in a
sharp break to the lowest points Of the
day. The denial of these reports or
more strictly the lack of confirmation
helped to produce late rally from the
lowest prices.
! There was comparatively little dis
elimination in the selling movement.
ST. Paul was conspicuous with de-
cline of about three per cent and the
same loss was suffered by Chicago and
Northwestern. The maximum decline
in Union Pacific apprOXimated three
per cent and among the high priced Is
sues Delaware, Lackawana and West
ern suffered severe drop. The gen.
eral railroad list lost approximately
per cent. In the industrial group Un-
tied States Steel preferred opened down
l ga per cent and after a rally before
noon, fell to the lowest prices of the
day in the late afternoon Amalga.
mated Copper opened off / per cent
the last price showed net decline OF
a point. Tennessee Coal and Iron and
other kindred stocks were SPECIFICALLY
Influenced by the shary fall in the
steelers. Sugar Refining suffered &
maximum decline of over 2 per cent.
The market closed irregular and un.
settled at a moderate recovery from
worst figures.
Government bonds were unchanged

Out in Nebraska some of the school
directors have appealed to the courts
to prevent teachers getting married
during the term for which they, have
hired. All over that country are a lot
of lonely bachelors who have home
steaded lands and have been living In
dugouts and eating their own cooking
for years while proving up their
claims. School teachers from the east
and other sections go out there and
the lonesome fellows swoop down on
them and carry them off, leaving the
schools without teachers. The diree-
tors claim 1t Is a violation of the con-
tract and they propose to try the
courts for redress. This announcement
that injunctions are needed to prevent
men from marrying off the teachers
will stimulate the exodus of female
pedagogues into Nebraska.

Judge Amber gave Harrison Baum
the full extent of the law in sentenc-
ing him for the shooting of Marion
Erase. Twenty years is long time
to stay in jail, but in his remarks to
the prisoner the judge divulgeu the
reasons that led to the imposing of the
penalty. He stated that the crime had
all the elements of first degree muir
der, generalization, malice and intent
to kill. 1t was fortunate for the pris-
oner that Erase did not die said his
honor. otherwise the prisoner could
hardly have escaped the electric chair.
While the sentence is a severe one, the
fate of the victim of the shooting is
worse. The entire side of his face is
shot away and he presents frightful
appearance One eye is gone and the
other is practically blind, being able
to discern only the brightest light.

II was a rather mean advantage for
the president to take of the people of
Ohio and give them message to read
on the same day that their governor
was TO make public long treatise on
state affairs. II was a sort of double
dose which people who try to do their
duty in keeping up with public affairs
dld not relish. As a consequence, it
is pretty safe to say that both mes
sages were neglected beyond their de-
serts.-Akron Beacon-Journal.
The foregoing was without doubt in
spired by Charley Dick, who never
misses chance to dig Teddy in the
short ribs. But think of the disloyalty
of the Journal, which heretofore has
never seen anything like flaw in a
Republican.

Alliance promises to produce a gen
uine sensation il the agitation over
the question as to whether one of the
policemen of the town has accepted
a bribe from one or more saloonkeep-
ers to save them from arrest for vio-
lation of the liquor closing ordinance.
The Alliance papers for some reason
do not make much display of the agi-
tation and il is limited that an effort
brought before the grand jury.
Formal charges have been filed be-
fore the council of Alliance that one
of the policemen accepted bribe.
Council as far as can be ascertained
has shown no disposition to make any
| investigation for the alleged reason
that they have no funds to pay the ex-
penses of the investigation. Those
who are in favor of the investigation
! say that this is only an excuse and
that the real reason is that officials
higher than the police are equally
guilty. The friends of the policeman
say that the whole affair is the out
growth of the feeling created at the
time OF the Morgan strike when the
Morgans claim that the police did not
arrest parties who were violating the
law at their works and that since that
time no effort has been spared to
have the members of the police force
removed, as well as the mayor
Politicians who have watched the
situation say that the bad blood Great
ed by this agitation will not down and
that the whole affair will be aired
If 1t has to be brought into the
courts. Outside of the parties inter
ested the police of Alliance are show
ing disposition to keep their hands
off, as enemies will be made no mat

Japan's greatest warrior is General
Viscount Katsura, who became prime
minister of the country two years ago.
The viscount, who has been called the
Lord Roberts of Japan, began his mil
itary career in 1867, during the civil
war which overthrow the oid order OF
Things and resulted in the adoption of
western civilization. He was a lieu
tenant then and so good was his record
that at the conclusion of the war the
government sent him to Germany to
study military affairs. Then he return
ed home and remodeled the Japanese
soldiery on the European plan. Now
he says, the soldiers of his country are
fit to go against those of any other.

An Akron minister preached a SER
mon Sunday upon the lessons to be
drawn from the Chicago theater fire.
Among the sensible things he said
was that the calamity was not a Wis
itation OF Gods wrath, as some per-
sons claim, but was the result of
mans carelessness. Thousands ask
why the good God would send such a
visitation" said the minister, and then
went on to show by clear course
OF reasoning that God does not do
these things. People are careless and
meet with disaster, and then the
blame Is laid at the door of an aveng-
Ing God. A person does foolhardy
thing and meets death, or his end
may come from exposure TO cold or
