! ''While Tom did not cut much figure. he
was always in evidence when anything
Political was doing. During the cam
paign of 81 in Stevens county. Tom was
one Of a party headed by Bill O'Connor,
the county attorney, that went TO a rail-

Tleties OF frontier whisky and was in
mighty bad shape. In the evening the
\ crowd drove back TO HugotOn, the
county scat, with Tom stretched out in
the bottom Of the rig. 0'Connor was
! for putting Tom away for the night in
81 stall. but Tom insisted that if he
must sleep in the barn he WOULD sleep
/ in the hay NOV. So Bill assisted him
/ Up the ladder and left him. Toms first
act was TO fan over a pile of boxes. He

Nov those boxes belonged to an

AS might be expected. Tom emitted

PROTECTING the PRESIDENT.

ON account of the death of Senator
" Hoar, Senator Lodge. it il an
nouneed. will take up the Hoar bill for
the protection OF the presiden. rhe
measure provides that the death pen
atty shall be inflicted for the murder of
the president. the vice president or any
officer in line for the presidency. For
the murder of any foreign minister or
ambassador the above penalty is pro-
vided. For attempts TO murder any of
the officials named the criminal is to
be punished either by death or by i'm
prisonment for a period ranging from
not less than ten years to life.
Another bill. a house measure. intro
duced by Representative Overstreet,
makes it a felony punishable by long
terms of Imprisonment FOR anybody
TO openly advocate the ASA estimation
of rulers, or TO attempt to Justify such
assassinations. The chief objection
that has been raised against both bills
is that they deprive the states of the
power to try and punish those who
murder or attempt to murder presi-
dents, vice-presidents, cabinet officers
and representatives of foreign govern
ments.
In the only instance in which a
president was assaseinated outside Of
the exclusive jurisdiction of the fed
eral government, prompt justice was
meted out TO the murderer. Within a
very few weeks after President Nc
Kinley died at Buffalo as the result of
the Czolgosz bullet, the body of the
murderer had been Inferred in quick
lime in prison burial ground. Fed
eral justice could not have been
prompter.
Presidents Lincoln and Garfield were
both assassinated IN Washington and
their slayers, Of course, were tried i'm
federal courts. There is no good reason
for believing that any state would be
less prompt than was the state Of New
York in SO grave a matter. Criminals
who commit murders of far less i'm
portance TO the nation than the muir
der Of a president or any Of the officers
named In the bills, are hanged or cleo
trocuted whenever cases are made out
against them.
We believe thoroughly I'm protecting
our presidents and those in line OF
succession, as well as foreign repre-
sentatives. But neither of the bills. as
we understand them, offers any more
protection than is at present afforded.

STOP THE SLAUGHTER.

d USsIANS FROM PORT ARTHUR
N captured by the Japanese are

terry and other diseases are raging with
great virulence, and that starvation is

General Nogi's last son was killed
when he went up 2O3-AIeter hill a few
days ago with his Japanese comrades.
The general had another son. That
boy was killed in the storming of Nan
shan hill. Now he is childless.. Thou
sands of other japanese and Russian
fathers have been made chfdless by

The commeRcg oommlssloN.

HE NECESSITY for either strength
enil:g the interstate commerce
commission by appropriate legislation
or passing a law providing for its
adjustment became apparent when
Judge Morrow of the United States
court handed down a decision in San
Francisco a few days ago. Judge Nor
row held. both literally and in effect.
that tne interstate commerce commit 3
sion has-no authority to compel rail-
road companies to grant reasonable
rates to shippers.
A. J. Gustin of Kearney. Neb.. in
1890 filed a petition before the commits
sion TO secure the adjustment of the
sugar rate as between Kearney and
Omaha. During the more than ten
years that the commission used up on
the case. it was shown that the rate
on sugar from Pacific coast points to
Kearney was very much higher than
the rate from the same points to oma-
ha, 200 miles further east The commits
sion did not grant the prayer Of the
petitioner in fun, but it did issue an
order to the railroads to reduce their
rates to Kearney to a point fixed on
by the commission.
The railroads paid no attention what
ever to the order. The rate to Kearney
was reduced, but the rate to Omaha
was reduced also, so that the difference
in favor Of Omaha remained about the
came. The commission brought suit
to secure an enforcement Of its order.
This suit has just been decided by
Judge Morrow in favor Of the railroad
companies. Thus the railroads all over
the country are advised that the COM
mission is Of no more real value to the
shippers than so many wooden In
dians.
We do not question the soundness of
Judge Morrows legal lore He can,
doubtless, cite ample authority for his
decision. But we must insist that the
decision is a most unfortunate one for
the people. The people. you know, pay
the freight in the end. A commission
that cannot enforce its decisions might
just as well shut up shop and go out
Of business. 1t can never prevent rail-
roads from discriminating against some
localities and in favor of others; it can
never be of the least practical use to
the shipper.
Clearly congress, at this session,
should either abolish the commission
or strengthen it.
