The government seems to be in
servitude to the four great express
companies which the people have en-
riched. To break the shackles it may
be necessary to buy them out-even
at black mailer's price. Then we
can have pacels-post, like England
and Germany, to transmit merchan-
disc for tenth of what similar ser,
vice costs us. The demand for a
parcels-post will be cumulative,
and will go up to Congress
till the cry of the people il
needed. Postmaster General Payne
says he is opposed to the parcels-posi
with all his power "because it would
encroach upon the legitimate field Of
express companies" We shall see.

On February 1st Governor Taft
took the oath of Office of Secretary OF
War and took possession of the room
which his father, Alphonzo Taft, oc-
cupied in 1876 when he was General

not unique, for the Camerons, father
and son, were Secretaries of War un-
der Lincoln and Grant respectively,
and the Grangers, father and son,
were both members of the Cabinet.

Wocdmen Lose Money.

The case of the Modern Woodmen of
America to collect 100000 from the
estate of the late e. H. McCutchen, a
banker at Holstein, Ia, was dismissed
last week at Sioux City. Much sur
prise was caused by this action. A
sensation was caused, as shady trans
actions by the wholesale had been al
legged in the petitions and counter
claims. McCutchen was one Of the
most prominent bankers and politi-
clans in Northwestern Iowa. Upon his
death it was found his bank was in
solvent. McCutchen was leading
Woodman and had 100000 of the or
der's funds on deposit in his bank. The
Woodmen sued the bondsmen, who re-
piled that their names had been Sc
cured by fraud,

Mrs. ca,Iauoher to Be Retired.

The notorious Gallagher case has
been set for retrial on Oct. 81. The
case will be tried before Judge Bying-
tons court, at Marengo, la. Mrs. Gal
laugher still claims, through her at
torneys, Hobart & Hobart, the right
to have her case dismissed finally and
absolutely, since the supreme court
called the indictment defective, and
the conditions under which she secur-
ed a ruling were peculiar. The lower
court does not agree with her, and the
states representatives contend that
this theory is entirely wrong. The SUI
preme court will take up this point
within the next few months, but the
original perjury case will be tried be-
fore the supreme court is heard from.
In case the Des Moines court declares
that she ought to be free, she will be
freed, even II convicted on the specific
charge.

BRYAN a Patriot.

The Cedar Rapids Gazette which is
now favoriDg the election of Roosevelt
cand idly asserts that the Republicans
themselves place Bryan only second to
Roosevelt as patriot and citizen"
The Gazette proves its statement in
long editorial from which we extract
the following forceful paragraph:
civilian Mckinley settled the
question, so far as himself and the re-
publican party is OF will be concerned,
as to whether Bryan was public en-.
envy, when the Nebraskan was called
to Washington to assist the president
and bis supporters within the parry
In securing ratification of the treaty
with Spain3 President Mckinley, by
that act, declared belief that as cit.
lien and with reference to politics, OF
regardless of politics, William j. Bry.
an would do, and with all his might,
the thing that he believed to be for
the best interests of the country.
William Mckinley, although victor
over the younger man from the far
west, appreciated the qualities of the
defeated candidate and knew that his
supporters had not in ignorance or
with any evil purpose assisted his for
tunes to the best of their ability. 1t is
probable that no other citizen in poll
tics has received such tribute. Grow
er Cleveland aud his coterle had ,giv-
en- assistance as within their power to
the republicans for the defeat of Ijry-
an, but when the time OF test came,
Mckinley did not call Cleveland,
Palmer, Morgan, Hill, Watterson or
any Of their fellows to the national
capitol to appear before the senators
and urge the ratification of a treaty
that was necessary to peace and the
rehabili tation of business"

Dangerous Man Convicted.

After celebrating eighteen hours
the jury in the case of the state VS..
Morris Levich returned verdict, find.
ing the defendant guilty Of receiving
stolen property. The maximum SEN
tence is five years. Levich was ac-
cused of receiving cupboards taken in
broad daylight from G. T. Hopper's
furniture manufacturing plant in Sioux
City. This conviction is the most i'm
portant in the recent history of Sioux
City, for Levich is regarded as the
most dangerous criminal ever in Sioux
City. Time and again burglaries and
bank robberies and hold-ups have been
traced to his door, but because of his
remarkable shrewdness the state has
heretofore been unable to prove him
guilty. He is regarded as the origina-
tor and father of crime against his
fellow citizens in Sioux City, and in
the surrounding territory. He is now
under arrest for conspiracy for the at
tempt two weeks ago to torture Frank
Bertrau, a Jefferson, S. D., miser, out
of his money.
