great a force character is. Those who
are privileged to know intimately a
good man who is in the public eye are
prone to take it for granted that only
they are aware of and appreciate his
personal virtues. Let him die, and
these private friends are astounded to
discover how widely he was understood

The tributes to Mayor Jones, of To-
ledo, in many cases come from news
papers that treated MIN f1ippantly, or
even with hostility, during his life
time. But as Jones is dead, and never
again can ask for votes. these detractors
can afford to give themselves the lux
ury of telling the truth about one who
had the temerity to seek to carry his
religion in politics. That religion was
expressed in the Golden Rule, which
Jones practised as well as preached. AS
an employer he practised it in his deal
ings with his men, and when he step
ped outside both the regular parties

brotherly love and service. the people

kind of government that does some
thing more than play the policeman

his instance many things were done to
make brighter the lives of the people
OF the city over which ne ruled with
equal benevolence and success.
In order to like and respect Mayor
Jones it is not necessary to share some
of his political doctrines, conspicuous
among which was his conviction that
organized parties can be dispensed

Jones could not free himself from the
belief that he was his brothers keeper

MIR. DEAN WINS A POINT.
Kansas City Liquor Dealers No Long
er Giving Uncle Sam Trouble.

Since the Indictment of sixteen al
the March term of the federal grand
jury in this city, not a single COM
plant has been reported before United
States Attorney Dean against Kansas
City liquor dealers for shipping whisky
into Kansas marked c. o. D., and
selling 1T without license. The prac-
tice has been effectually broken up.
The United States attorney has waged
ceaseless warfare against these dealers
since the beginning of the year, at
which time they were daily selling
thousands of dollars worth of liquor
in the state without paying cent of
revenue.
The method followed was of this
nature: Liquor dealers from out of
the state would procure agents at
every town having an express Office in
the state Of Kansas. This agent would
provide the dealer with list of names
of people of his town. A few days
later these citizens would receive an
express package of whisky marked c.
o. d. If they chose to keep it. they
simply paid the express messenger the
charges. If not, the package went
back to the express office, from which
place the liquor agent sold it along
approved bootlegging lines. In this
manner the foreign dealers escaped
paying license and were making mint
of money. The practice became so
open and bold that United States At
torney Dean, upon complaints filed,
conducted a personal investigation
and found that conditions were very
bad. He at once set his men to work
to gather evidence, and called for spe-
cial expert aid from the government.
When the federal grand jury met in
Topeka in March sixteen of these deal
ers were indicted, of which number
eight have been arrested and placed
under bond for trial this fall. Prac-
tically every one came before the
United States attorney after his ar
rest and promised ITO be good and
never do it again. But the mesh es of
the law will be pulled about everyone
of them. for that is the only manner
in which the practice will be success
fully broken up. The effects are APP
parent now. Close tab has been kept
upon all places where this kind of
illegitimate traffic had gained its
strongest foothold, and the govern
ment officers have been unable to de-
tect signs of its practice.

The liberation of Mrs. Maybrick
serves to again call attention to the
frequent stumbling of justice. Being
blind perhaps justice can't help it. If
Mrs Maybrick were guilty she should
not have been released; If she were
innocent she never should have gone
TO prison. She has spent many of the
best years of her life in a British Jail.
There has been no new trial or addi-
tional evidence. but she has been re-
leased Why? Probably because pub
lie sentiment on the side of her in
nocence became too strong to be
longer resisted. If the evidence at
her trial had been sufficient to war
rant her conviction, perhaps she
would have been permitted to un-
dergo the original sentence of death
