The Steam Whistle Nuisance.

Notwithstanding the existence
of an ordinance against the pro-
miscous blowing of steam whis-
ties within the corporate limits,
there are probably few commu-
mites so cursed with the nui-
sance as this one is. Even as we
write, 7:45 a. M, a locomotive
whistle, near by, is being blown
almost constantly. Last night,
between midnight and day a To-
connective whistle inside the city
limits, within the space of a few
minutes, blew four long blasts
repeatedly at least eight times
making thirty-two long, tiresome
and terrific blasts arousing pro-
badly half the sleeping citizens
and terrifying the sick and nerv-
Gus. All night long these whis-
ties keep up what appears to be
a conversation as long as there
are more than one fired up. II
ever there is one left alone II
seems to howl at the moon like a
lonesome dog, until the night be-
comes hideous.
The mayor has stated that he
will punish the offenders, il
brought before him. The only
thing to be done is to find some
body to make the cases. We are
thinking of starting a subscrip'
ton list to employ a man for that
purpose.
1t may become necessary tc
occasionally blow a locomotive
whistle, but the continual footing
and squealing from s o'clock al
night to S Am, is unnecessary,
unusual and almost unbearable,

Eighty-two jugs, to say moth

frequent as the fifteen cent drink

When a man receives his Jug
he usually carries it to his home

congressman Lon Livingston
has republican opponent named
Goree. He brought the gore
from the congressman's face
last Tuesday.
Goree charged Congressman
Livingston with using his official
position to increase the pay of a
grandson Leonadas Livingston,
Jr., a postoffice clerk at Con-
yers. The republican candidate
in his speech read this paragraph
in the report Of the postmaster
general, after an investigation of
the postoffice department in 1908:
In May, 1900, the member of
congress recommended that the
allowance for separating purpo-
ses at Conyers, Ga, which was
then $40 a year, had been in
creased. A count was ordered
and the report showed the Office
entitled TO $3.50 dollars per
annum; only 5000, however, was
allowed. The congressman, on
November %, 1901, called per-
Isonally, and as result the allow
ance was increased on December
|10, 1901, to $500. This increase
I $72Owas paid to clerk, re-
azpmended by the congressman.
July " 1902, the clerk, who
beeA receiving $720, was
sferred to a position in
Dther Office and the allowance
them reduced to 500. In
russ, 1902, a count was made
Indicated the Office was en-
ed to 1910 per ,annum and $500
50 allowed. The above plainly
aonstrates that the S720 allow
ce was made to give the clerk
Employment and not because OF
the amount of work in the Office.
The charge is, perhaps, true
Enough. We have regarded Mr..
Livingston as one of those states
men who wrongly confuse states
manship with graft. But what
of the administration Of the post
Office department, that permits
such jobbery? If a one-horse
democratic congressman can put
up job of this kind, then what
would be possible with the
shrewd party man who has a
personal stand in with the de.
partment?
In this connection the follow
ing, which we find in another ex'
change on our table, is pertinent
The appropriations made for
the postofice department fol-
this fiscal year exceed by about
$60,000,000 those of 1896.

TRUE NOTE FROM THE SOUTH.

The so3thern people are not given to the adulation of men or to hospitality with any ulterior motive. But with the election over and President Roosevelt's declaration of his purpose not to be a candidate again, the time is favorable for the cultivation of a better feeling between the sections. The moral req sons. no less than those which spring from mutual interests, forbid the idea of irreconcilable antagonism. A prop CT word spoken in a proper way may remove the barriers )f distrust. which have been erected Ey slow growth in years of apprehension felt in the south. The people there do not wish to have a pos ton assigned them of isolation from those of the north. They recog- nize the mutUality of interest and wish to feel that they have q common des- tiny with the north for veal or woe. Despite certain respects in which they became alienated in feeling from the president, his late assurances of friend ship have made a strong impression upon them, and if it were so that he could go among them in such Unre- served and friendly way as he went to St. Louis, the visit could not but be productive of good and lasting results Louisville Courier-Journal.

While the czar was prompt in clam oring for The Hague conference years ago, he is now of the opinion that the moment is not opportune for the converting of such a conference, |" says Roswell Field in the Chicago Post. This seems entirely proper from the Russian point Of view. The time to expatiate on the glories and advantage to say nothing of the du- ties and obligations, of peace is when the other fellows are at war; it makes all the difference in the world whose bull is goring the OK. It is truly as tonishing with what calm delight we contemplate the blessings of peace when our own blood is not up and when we are not trying to hammer the existence out of our neighbor.

NEED OF FEDERAL PURE FOOD
 LAW.

Adulterated, sophisticated, pI eServed and colored articles of food are TO more injurious or deceptive when imported than when concocted "in our midst" and t IS time for congress to take more serious thought of the much larger quantity of domestic food products that fail to show their true substance and color. It is slow about passing a p--e food law applicable at home as well as abroad. It can lay down rules and re- quirernents only for those that enter into interstate commerce. but those would pretty well cover the case, and states would be encouraged to deal eff fectively with the manufacture and pri- mary sale of articles of food that were either injurious or fraudulent if the na- tional authority led the way. There should be a general acceptance and en- forcernent of the only honest rule of business, that of SC ling things for what they are and letting the customer know what he is paying for. Anything else is fraud and should be disreputable- New York Journal of Commerce.

The Chadwlck Mystery.

One of the most astounding develop ments ever seen in financial circles in the United States is the remarkable power of Mrs. Chadwick to borrow money A woman with a past so shady that nobody can trace her ante cendents; a woman who apparently has travelled under half a dozen aliases and committed matrimony with as
 many men; a woman previously un- known tothe bankers whom she ap- preached, has been able to borrow millions-how many millions nobody yet knows-on her notes.
 How the trick was worked no one has yet come forward to explain. The Oberlin, Ohio, bankers, from whom she borrowed mere than a million. are un- able to tell. The president and cash fer. under arrest and on the road to the penitentiary for permitting the bank to be footed by this woman, are are not able to say anything except that they thought her notes were good. Other capitalists who permitted Mrs. Chadwick to separate them from their
 millions are making desperate efforts to recover their coin, but they don't tell the story of how it happened.
 The dispatches this morning promise that the mystery will be cleared up in a day or two, but until then nothing will be plain beyond the fact that Mrs. Chadwick and her methods have thrown all the exploits of the napol- cons Of "frenzjed finance" into the shade. Thomas Lawson of Boston, has the whole country interested in his revelations of the manner in which he and some of his associates have been g ble to transfer into their own pockets many millions of money from the pockets of the public, but ''the system" as described by Lawson belongs to the of fhanciering when with the Chadwick system
 It is understood that Russia and Japan will have to do some tall bOr- rowing within q year, and the czar and the mikado could not do better than to give Sister Chadwick plenary powers as an imperial borrower.

The Rights of Newspaper Men.

A great 0utcFy has been raised in
 some quarters because a couple of
 newspaper correspondents have been
 denied the press privileges at the
 White House. These men sent a story
 to a Boston paper which grossly slam
 derea MT. Roosevelt's children. MT.
 Roosevelt, being president, could not afford te take the two men by the scruff of the neck and kick them off
 the White House grounds, and he has
 done the proper thing in giving crders
 that they and the paper which they represent must not receive any more courtesies at the executive mansion.
 It is gratifying to observe that, not withstandipg the Outcry to which we have referred, most of the newspap pers in the country vigorously uphold the president in his attitude toward these Journalistic blackguards. Nor can the Boston paper complain. r. it does not uphold hlackguardisFn, and if it wishes to be numbered with decent publica- tions, it can readily dispose of it's al- legged grievance by discharging the of lending correspondents. It will gain no sympathy by posing as a martyr. We fully agree with the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle when it says that "the public press has no right to claim for its representatives any spe- eial privileges to naisbehave themselves or any immunity from the ordinary Of nisbehavior The fact that liar and a blackguard happens to be a reporter doesn't in the least al- ter his status as a liar and a black guard or protect him against the treat ment deserved by q liar and a black guard
 There is a good deal of nonsense talked about the rights" of "the rep of the press," A newspa- per Is a private business enterprise, and the public press" except as an abstraction. is merely the aggregation of these private business enterprises. A ly no public or official character what ever. He is simply a private citizen engaged in the business of news gath ering. and ha has exactly the same rights" as any other private citizen, neither more nor less. For example he has no more right" no. matter what the circumstances, to enter unin- viteG the home of a private citizen or to question that citizen about his pri- vate affairs, no matter how interesting they may be to the public, than any other stranger. For various reasons it has become the custom to accord to him a number of special privileges, but this custom has not the force of law, and no private individual is bound to respect it unless he chooses. The priv ilege has never become a right"
 Of course a newspaper correspondent at Washington has a certain right of access to the public departments and a certain right to inquire how the pub lies work is being done by the publics But his right is not a spe- cial right based on the fact that he is "a representative of the press.'' It is a right based on the fact that he is one of the public. He has the same rights in the departments as any other citizen who has business in the departments. Whatever else is ac- corded to him by custom is a privilege. He has no more license to make a nuis- anee of himself in the exercise of his

That Nicholas is between two dan gers must be obvious to him.
