infamy Of the carnival was licensed
gambling establishment where men
and boys were trained to gamble and
the gambling instinct, which comes to
the surface in all of us too readily,
was being cultivated.
No one will ever know how many
men and boys learned their first les
sons in gambling at that carnival nor
how many of them it led to ruin; but
it threw it's baleful tentacles around
hundreds.
Before you can say that it is a good
thing for Cedar Rapids to have such
a carnival. you will have to say that
1t is a good thing to have the public
conscience debauched and the youth
of the land ruined.

FROM COLLAR TO WRIST.

Someone, sometime, said very truly
that If we follow the chain from the
slaves collar, we reach the wrist of his
owner. From the episode recently en-
acted at Logan, when an attempt was
made to remove the most important
from the statements made openly by
Attorney Ernest E. Thomas, of Oma-
l1a, who is leading the prosecution,
from Mr. Dennison's itenized memoir
anda, ETC., etc., etc., the chain OF Cir
cumstances connecting Dennison and
the Shercliffe parole case with the
politics of Iowa, leads to railroad polit-
ical bosses.
First, the Hubbard letter, written
contemptuously Of the criminal whose
liberty it was intended to achieve, but
earnestly urging his parole in order to
help Dave Mercer, whose political for
tunes it's writer was anxious to eff
feet and written by q railroad politician
to an official than whom none knew
better the power of railroad politics.
Then Mr.. Dennison's carefully kept,
ktemized statement of the cost of mig
ger innportations into Council Bluffs
to vote for railroad senator. Then
Mr.. McA1tllans $4,000 fee for legal
service which involved no doubt an
expenditure of gray matter equal TO

Millan's opportune meeting with Sher-
cAffe at Burlington Immediately after
Shercliffe had been discharged from
prison and his fatherly advice to Get
out Of the state as quick as God will
let you," as reported by Atty. Thomas.
Now the arrest of Shercliffe urged on
by the Burlington railroad and timed
apparently to Dennison's purpose and
interest with Dennisons bold boast
that ShercNffe would be too busy de-

testify against him in Omaha and

INDIAN AGENTS TO sE SUCCEED
ED BY sUPERlNTeNpENTs
rHf PRESIDENT ADOPTS A NEW SYSTEM
Recent Alleged Scandals on Indian
Reservations Causes Change-Re.
duces Patronage Of Western Con.
gressmen--Civil Service Rules


WASHlNGTON: The announce.
ment at the White house that Prosi.
dent Roosevelt had decided To adopt
the policy of filling vacancies in The
position Of Indian agent in charge OF
Indian reservations by the appoint.
ment of bonded superintendenis
means further reduction in the pat.
ronage at the disposal OF western
senators and representatives.
Reservation agents are not in the
civil service while bonded supcrinten-
dents are, and as the policy OF the
president will result in no change in
the salary or the duties OF the official
in charge of the reservation, the ap.
pointmcnt of the bonded superinten.
dents for the agents the extension OF
the merit system to a class Of federal
positions which heretofore have been
disposed OF by politicians.
The president decided to substitute
the bonded superintendents for the
agents upon the recommendation OF
Commissioner Jones OF the Indian
bureau. who has long been an advO-
cate of the merit system in the selec-
tion of reservation officials. He has
succeeded i'm having large number
of agents displaced by the appoint
ment of bonded superintendents, and
IL is said at the Indian bureau that
there now remain only twenty agents
In the Indian service.
The policy OF the commissioner has
been vigorously opposed by members
Of congress, and in some Instances
they have succeeded in having his
recommendations set aside.
In adopting the policy OF Commits
sioner Jones Mr.. Roosevelt is reported
To have been influenced by the alleged
scandals on some Of the Indian rescr-
vations in which the reservations
agents were Implicated, The most
recent case of this kind is that of o.
A. Mitscher, in charge OF the Usage
reservation in Oklahoma. Nitscher
was suspended pending an investiga-
tion, and while he has not been for
mally removed, It is practically GER
tain that he will be. Officials Of the
Indian bureau say that the efficiency
Of the service on reservations would
be greatly increased by the appoint
mcnt of honded superintendents, as
those officials would be selected from
applicants OF known ability.

selecting the bonded superintendents

Big Deer of Yermont.

Battleboro Phoenix.
 Naturalists cannot fail to be surpris- ed at the weight of some of the deer caught in Vermont woods this season. These scientific gentlemen have been laboring under the impression that about 225 pounds was the maximum weight of any deer ever found in this section of the couhtry.
 As a matter of fact many deer have been shot in Vermont that weigh more than 225 pounds. Here in Windham County this season one specimen weighed over 800 pounds, two others at least close to that figure. and nearly all the bucks brought in were in the 200 class or over. The Vermont deer are in a class by themselves, and in size and proportions are far ahead of the deer found in Maine and the Ad- ironjacks. and their meat !s of a bet- ter quality. Old hunters account for the difference in the fact that the deer in Vermont have better feed than those in the more closely wooded secticrs.. They are not limited to browse and hemlock twigs, but find an abundance of the nutritious grasses and. if reports from Windsor County are correct, they occasionally top off with apples, tur- nips, corn and beans.

 So far as the United States are concerned. the renewed triumph of Sir William Laurier indicates that a reciprocity treaty, for which there is a strenuous demand in some of out bor- der States. might be negotiated, pro- vided we do not exact concessions fa- tai to Canadian manufacturers The latter are determined not to be driven out of business by either American or British competitors. and the recent election would have had a very differ ent outcome had they not been con- vinced that in the Liberal Prem fer they have a friend. So long as Sir Willfrid remains in power 1t is ex- tremely improbable that Canada will assume any larger share of the milt- tary and fiscal burdens of the British Empire than she now sustains. or that, jn respect of tariff concessions, she will go beyond the preference of 33 Ia per cent now granted to British manu- factures. The preference is ostensibie rather than real, because so many arr ticles of America origin are on the free list that the aggregate imports from the United States are increasing much more rapidly than those of Great Britain.
