MAYOR JONES MAKES GIFT.
Ten Thousand Dollars in Stock Given

Ten Thousand Dollars in Stock Given
to Employees in His Factory.
Toledo, April 1S.-Mayor Jones, in
a talk to the employees of his sucker
rod factory On the value of the labor
ingman to society, told the men that
he had made a gift of $4,000 worth
of stock in his company to them and
that they could do with it as they
liked. 1t is worth its face value.
Last Christmas this stock was turned
over to the trustees of the Golden
Rule trust, the income to be distrib-
uted equally among the company's en-
ployes. Now the stock itself has been
turned over to the trustees. Mayor
Jones. in announcing the gift. said to
his employees: Il am putting no
strings on this stock You can do
with it as you wish. l only hope the
trustees will keep the fund intact and
administer it in the spirit of the gold

The Municipal Building Question

In any event whether the Police Court Is
horsed in the new municipal building or
not. the offices of the recorder of deeds and
the register of Wills should not be placed
there. There are practical reasons why
they should remain in close communication
with the civil courts which, 1t is clear, will
not be soon removed from Judiciary Square.
These offices are of a legal character,
affecting matters which are constantly in
viewed in court procedure, and patronized
very largely by the lawyers whose offices
are now clustered around the court house
To remove them to the municipal building
more than three-quarters of mile distant
would impose great hardship upon hundreds
of people. In the case of the Office of the
register of wills there Is very close con-
nection between 1t and the Probate Court,
and the removal of the former would neces-
state an embarrassing and time-wastiag
journey by one of the members of the Dis
tr:ct court to the municipal building. pro-
cedure not at all desirable or necessary.
Furthermore. these offices are not so
strictly local in character as to fall within
the category of immediate appurtenances
to the Commissioners establishment. The
register and the recorder are appointed by
the President and the Commissioners have
VII ludiy lO JuFiSulCtiOH Whatever over tuc
bureaus. Thus their inclusion within the
municipal building would be step toward
the budding together of all the various
offices which can by stretch of the imagi-
nation be considered as of a municipal
character. Let them remain where they
are. in close and convenient proximity to
the courts and the lawyers offices, until
such time as the government is ready to
erect suitable successor to the antiquate
and inconvenient building in which it now
houses the District courts. and then in the
planning of that building provide properly
for their accommodation.
In the consideration of the Police Court
item by the House itself or by the Senate
appropriat ions committee and the Senate,
the issue involved in the item as now writ
ten should not be between housing the
court in the municipal building and leaving
it where it is That would be wholly
unjust method of determination. The aues-
ton should be between housing it with the
offices and providing a proper
new building for it separately. 1t needs
better quarters as perhaps does no other
public establishment in this District today.
If 1t Is not located within the proposed
south wing of the District building it
should be provided at once. by means of an
adequate appropriation, with a home of is
own. we'll planned, commodious, decently
and SO located as to yield the
maximum of convenience with the minimum
of public nuisance.

Bottles in High Places.

Senator T1ilman has of course a perfect
right to have a sore throat and an equal
right to gargle it with boracic acid He has
an undeniable right to carry his medicine
bottle in his pocket. with the stopper show
ing. That much is granted. On the other
side, does the far-famed senatorial courtesy
permit colleague to examine the contents
of a senator's pockets? Senator Warren set
a precedent which will give rise to trouble
unless his apology shall be accepted as a
final denial of all such rights and privileges
The whole affair was doubtless excruciat-
ingly painful to the staid and self-respecting
members of the Senate, which has been
often termed the most dignifled legislative
body In the world. snapshot photograph

posure of the bottle would probably have

A Suggestion From Louisiana.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat pro-
poses the following platform:
Mr.. Roosevelt has by word and deed held
out to the negro hopes which never can be
realized, unless we sink to the social depths
of Haiti or San Domingo. The challenge
should be accepted without the shadow OF
reserve. The democracy should declare In
trumpet tones that this is a white mans
country, and is destined to remain so to the
end OF time
Here is an influential southern journal in
close place. Other issues has 1t none.
Silver. we may believe. is no longer ac-
ceptable to the pelican state democrats
They supported Mr.. Bryan In both OF his
races, but with their brethren Of the sur
rounding states are no longer under his in
fuence and hence are willing to drop silver.
They want to win. and can see that there Is
no victory in the free coinage of the white
metal at 16 to ].
Free trade was never a popular cry in
Louisiana. The interests of sugar have al
ways demanded protection, and the Louis
ianians in Congress. whenever the tariff
has been under revision, have. in exchange
for favors. co-operated with the repubu-
cans in the arrangement Of protection
schedules. The cane sugar planters never
prospered so greatly as under the bounty
provision of the Mckinley law. We may
infer. therefore. that the Tammany hula
