Want to Make Friends.

In Illinois the reported coordination
between Hearst and Hopkins is looked
upon as exceedingly favorable to Par
ker. Hearst will not need the Illinois
delegation for more than one or two
ballots. After that Hopkins would
like to use them in the interest of
Parker
Hearst would make a good show
ing on the first ballot and the Parker
people have no objection to this. In
fact, as their good understanding in
creases, they feel that they can afford
to be exceedingly gracious to the
young editor.
The first disposition was to fight
the Bryan and Hearst sentiment In
Kentucky, but now it is thought the
better results will be obtained by con-
ciliatory advances. In short, the Par
ker people feel that they have won the
battle and now want to make as many
friends as possible.
Even German is taking his medi-
cine without making wry face. He
knows that he can not be nominated
at St. Louis and he wants to make ar
rangements to be in the National
game.

There are few counties IN the state
not complaining of the burden OF Grim
inal prosecutions. The little county
Of Ohio is alreading confronting an es-
timated expenditure Of $4,000 in the
famous Gillespie murder trial, with
possibilities OF as much more before the
case is disposed of. A similar expendi-
ture has fallen upon Lawrence county
in the equally famous Schafer case.
Lawrence county also must pay the
costs Of prosecution 10 the Ireland case
transferred to another county on
change of venue, which resulted, as
did the Mcdonald trial. Putna m
county was recently burdened with a
trial in an adjoining county, in which
a effort of the State failed to get con-
viction, and the same expense will
again be entailed. These incidents
can be multiplied by the score. In
what ways these great expenditures
can be lessened is problem. but II is
. question Of sufficient gravity to war
rant the best thought Of the Legisla-
ture.

UNIQUE Gold Coin.

A four-dollar gold coin, probably
the only one of its kind in exiStance
is on exhibition at the German Ma
tlonal Bank in Milwaukee. 1t belongs
to DR.. Charles j. LANCE and is valued
by the bank officials at 5000, although
this is only approximate. The piece
II gold is of the same diameter as a
five dollar gold piece, but thinner.
On its face is the well-known Liberty
head" without the cap, however.
Around this are thirteen stars inter.
spersed with the letters sc G s c
I Grams" The exact meaning of
these letters none of the bank officils
has aScertained. On the reverse Of
the coin is five-pointed star, into
which is cut the inscription. Zone
stella-4O0 cents" Around it are the
words, "E Pluribus Unum. Dec Est
Gloria, land around these forming the
rim of this side of the coin, are the
words, Omitted States of America.
Four DOL" About fifteen years ago
this coin was sent to Washington by
the Merchants Exchange Bank, Of
Milwaukee, according to the Sentinel
Of that city, but the only information
obtained was that the coin is genuine.

Eliminate Fish Commissioner.

The following suggestions concern
ing the fish law appeared in the Co.
lumbia City Post last week:
The fish law has aroused the ire of
numerous citizens of Kosciusko county,
and they have effected an organiza-
ton for the purpose Of having the
present law repealed and new law
enacted. These gentlemen contend
that the present law and it's method
of administration is unjust and a
hardship upon men who are friendly
to the maintenance of a law that will
keep the lakes and rivers we'll stocked
with fish. The present law will not
do this. 1t tolerates fishing with
hook and line, but the use of nets is
prohibited. Thus children and sum-
mer visitors are permitte ted to fish in
the lakes and their catch is confined
largely to small fish that can not be
used for food but are thrown into the
water to die or cast upon the banks
to decay. The net is the most sem
sible and humane method for taking
fish from the water. The net can be
SO constructed that only fish that have
attained sufficient size to be of use for
food can be caught. The small ones
can pass through it. Other means
NAV be used also which would result
10 catching the large and well matured
fish. There is certainly room for i'm
provement 10 the present law, and if
possible. law should be enacted that
will command respect and protect the
fish against wanton destruction. 1t
might be well to eliminate the fish
commissioner also and turn that work
oyer to peace officers.

Mr.. Melville E. Stone continues t.
catch it, and deservedly so. for his ad.
dress before the Press Parliament at
st. Louis In which he took it upon
himself to declare that:
No large metropolitan newspaper
can live without the support OF
women. Newspapers today are edited
for women, and not for men. If the
women of the General Federation OF
Women'S Clubs will set their faces
against scandal the Objectionable in
journalism will disappear. Women
have joint responsibility with the
editors as to the class OF news con.
tanned in the columns of the metro.
politan dailies.
Mr.. Stone is right in his belief that
no large metropolitan newspaper car
live without the support of women
and the same Is true Of the newspaper
which is neither large nor metropolis
tan, but which deals with the news OF
the rural districts, being rural itself
But he is wrong in attributing to
women a desire for scandals and their
details SO stroog as to compei the col.
oring Of the large, metropolitan paper
to the hue of prurient desire.

In recent opinion rendered by
Judge Grant, of the Michigan
supreme court, this pronounced view
was promulgated from the bench; II
want to tell you right here that the
next time a law officer says it is not
his business to make complaint, and
tells you that if you will sign the
complaint he will set the machinery in
motion, that you can assure him that
it is not the duty of any private citi-
zen to do this. 1t is not safe for any
private citizens to attack three kinds
Of law breakers, houses Of proStitu.
tion. gamblers. and liquor dealers who
sell unlawfully. The Suppression of
of their illegal business is not the CON-
Germ of private citizens. II they are
active in this direction they may have
their houses burned down or be sui
jected to assault, but they dare not
ass ultl the officer because ne re-
presents the majesty of the law.
Every police officer has the power OF
government behind him, and the law
breakers know that If they cannot kill
the officer they cannot kill the office:
that as soon as one officer is out OF the
way there is another in his place. Law
enforcement is what you pay the off,
GERS for and it is their duty and not a
private citizens" This judge is en-
titled to the thanks of all private Cit
liens who have it continually thrown
in their faces by sworn officers of the
law that it is their duty to ferret out
violations Of the law and take upon
themselves the task Of enforcing it.

Unused Pianos in America.

One of the visiting Englishmen,
Mr.. Mosely, was struck by the num-
Der Of unused pianos In the American
homes, That there should be so lit
tie knowledge of music and SO little
skill in performance where there are
so many instruments was source of
surprise and pain to him, No doubt
these unused pianos are an indication
OF a general prosperity. That SO
many of them are silent is not to be
deplored in view of the degree of
skill of the average performer. The
amount of money spent annually for
piano lessons is enormous, and most of
it is wasted.-Philadelphia Record.

Even the Olney people in Massachu-

that it is time to make terms with
the Parker managers. They have I'm.
Til recently had strong hopes that a
deadlock in the convention would fur
nish a chance for their man. They
had card up their sleeve which they
hoped might be played at the right
time to take the odd trick. This was
why Bryan really preferred Olney
above any of the conservative candi.
dates.
II Bryan had shown a good deal of
strength in the convention it was
thought by these men that the Massa-
chusetts man might be taken TO please
the Nebraskan and avoid a split or
bolt. They have given up this ex-
pectation. There is no doubt but the
Bryan strength will be under control,
although he may be very noisy per-
son himself.
The Olney leaders have been in
close touch with the Parker managers,
and although it is not likely that
there will be any announcement for
some time where the Bay State DEM

ed that their man can not win, it is
sure that the leaders will be conf
deutially informed at an early date.

success And Education,

In his forthcoming annual report
the United States commissioner of ed
ucation presents an analysis Of the
names and biographical data 10
"Who'S Who in America. This
book contains IA, 443 names of men
and women who have achieved some.
thing or have got credit or power of
achievement. Counting those over
30 years of age, 7,709 of the persons
named have had college training, l.
627 are high school graduates. 1865
had common school advantages, 27S
were home-taught and "a self-taught.
The commissioner, taking these result
and comparing the statistics of popu.
lation, finds that boy with a COM
mon school education has one chance
in 1000 of achieving success, high
school boy has % in 5000, and a COL
lege graduate 200 chances in 5000.
Such figures and analysis are incon-
elusive. Literally, they mean little
because they do not make plain what
is meant by the word "success. If
a man Is not successful until be has
