Sinking LIS Duty.

Congress adjourned with the well
merited rebuke of the Democratic
leader sounding in it's ears. He ac-
cUsed the house of anxiety to leave
the post Of duty and leave the situation
bristling with legislation that ought to
be considered" Before the country the
Republican majority in congress is to
be arraigned for indolent neglect and
cowardice. It has gone home because
there is a national election coming, and
1t has neither the virtue nor the spirit
to perform it's duty in the face of pub
lie criticism.
Were there no national election i'm
pending, congress would not adjourn
for this is the long sessiOn-until July
at the earliest, and probably not until
some time in August. There are a
dozen matters on which legislation is
demanded by public opinion. There
are three or four issues of the first
rank which the majority have dropped
as if they were redhot. Openly and in
the sight of all the people they turn
tail and run away from the business
for which they are elected, and for
which they are paid, because they have

USE OF GOVERNMENT
DREDGE is LAWFUL
Attorney General Gives Opinion Of In
terest to Lake Vessel Men.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April %
Acting Secretary of War Oliver has
received an opinion from Attorney GEN
eral Knox on the question raised by the
Lake Carriers association in regard to
the building and use of a government
dredge for the Improvement and main
tenance of the harbors of Lake Erie.
According to the statement of the sec
rotary, the construction of this dredge
was authorized by Secretary Root with
out specific appropriation, but on the
recommendation of the engineer Of
ficer in charge approved by the chief
of engineers, to be paid for out Of
funds made available for harbors in
the Michigan district. 1t was repre-
sented by certain persons interested
in dredging for the government by
contract that under the language Of
the act of 1902, making appropriations
for the harbOrs in question, there was
no authority to allot from such appro-
priations portions to make a gross sum
applicable to the construction of a
dredge to be used in the improvement
of all the harbors.
The attorney general expresses the
opinion that the construction of the
dredge was lawful as provided for by
equitable allotment among the har-
bors affected and that nothing stands
in the way of it's proposed use. In the
new river and harbOr act it is pro-
vided that no more dredges shall be
built by the government without spe-
cific appropriation therefor, but that
this prohibition shall not apply to
dredgeS already constructed or in
course of construction.

Contemporary Comment
The Ballot in the South

We do not think We err in stating
that no reasonable American. Repub-
Ican or Democrat, can be sincere in a
declaration that it is for the good of
the republic that there should be an
lndlscrlminate ballot in the South.
Those who tlaunt the old flag do so
with full knowledge that the issue
has been settled, and settled rightly.
Nothing is left in the husk of their old
contention except the substance of a
Dase and hypocritical appeal to preju-
dlce, political and sectional Yet, in
spired as they are with such motives,
we have no doubt that they would be
perfectly willing to see the South, it's
wealth, its prospects, all sunk in Sly
glan night, If by assisting in the catas-
trophe they might approach a bit near
er TO the public purse-New Orleans

Uniform Municipal Accounting.

CHICAGO, April 29.-The final ses-
sion OF the annual meeting Of the Ma
tional Municipal league was held to-
day. DR.. E. NJ. Hartwell, city statisti-
clan of Boston, read the report of
special committee which the league
appointed in 1900 to try to have cities
adopt uniform methods Of bookkeep-
ing and accounting. The report showed
that the committee offered advice to
more than fifty cities whose system OF
accounting was unsatisfactory. The
following nine cities adopted the uni
form system recommended by the COM
mittee: Chicago, Boston, Baltimore,
Minneapolis. Denver, Houston. Texas;
Oklahoma City, St. Joseph. Mo-; NAL
den, Mass. Several addresses were
given on the subject.
At the final session DR.. L. s. Howe,
of the University of Pennsylvania, de-
livered an address on University and
Collegiate Instruction and Research in
Municipal Government"

Anxious to Work in Panama.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., April %
Since the return Of Admiral Walker
and Gen. Davis, of the isthmian canal
commission, to Washington from Pan
anna they have been engaged in work
preliminary to the meeting of the COM
mission here next week, at which form
al organization of the commission and
the appointment of subcommittee viii
be effected. Gen. Davis said today that
an army wagonload of applications had
come to the commission. The commits
sion does not know yet just what posi-
tions it will have at it's disposal. The
probability is that the great bulk of
the work will be done by contract. If
this is done the construction companies
will employ their own laborers and re-
Heve the commission of this duty.

vindicatinq Ericsson's Memory.

CHICAGO, April Ex-senator Knute
Nelson and Congressman Lind, of Min
nesota, have been appealed to by the
Swedish National Association of Illi-
nois ''tO determine authoritatively and
finally where the honor of having de-
signed the first monitor belongs" In
the letter sent to Aessrs. Nelson and
Lind it was said that "the entire Amer
lean people, as well as the whole world,
have always believed that every dis
tinctive feature of the monitor was
the creation of EricssOn's brain; every
detail was stamped with evidence of
his handiwork"
It is said that the request Of a de-
cision is made to silence the impudent
pretentions of false claimants to the
honor of the invention.

Mr. Cochran is man of brilliant tall

Democratic minority in Congress. In
one way he is an ornament to the

disadvantage of having almost every
year to take an almost Numerically
opposite position to what he took but
a year before. Without serious convic-
lions of any kind, not sincere even in
his hatreds, Mr.. Cochran may buoy up
the spirits of his colleagues in congress
by packing the galleries when he rises

GOING IN ALASKA
WILL BE EASIER
Much Good Is Expected From
the Forthcoming Wagon
Roads.
Globe Special Washington Service,



WASHINGTON D. c.. April % -
Congress failed to enact into law sew
eral of the most important measures
which were urged on behalf Of Alaska
but there is one new law on the statute
books which is recognized as nossess-
ing momentous Importance for the
future of the territory. 1t is true that
the Valdez wagon road project went
by the board, but the two houses mass
ed general wagon-road bill which is
OF vastly more Importance than any in
dlV1duaI measure. In general this bill
provides for the construction of wagon
roads out of a special fund to be kept
In the United States treasury the CON
stant source of which shall be the tax
receipts of Alaska.
All moneys derived from liquor Ii
censes and occupation or trade licenses
outside Of the incorporated towns i'm
the territory are to be used to swell
This fund. The proceeds are to be dis
tr1buted in the building of roads nv q
specially authorized commission of
army officers. 1t can no longer be
SAID, as it has been said with reason
30 many times in the past that the
FEDERAL government imposes BURDEN
some taxes on the people of Alaska
"Ithout giving them direct benefits in
return.
Fund for Road Buildinq.
What is the significance of this new
IegIsIatlon IN dollars and cents, and
what are likely to be the practical re-
suits OF 1t? In the last fiscal year the
license moneys collected outside the
Incorporated towns in Alaska amount
ed to $102,0s4. There is no prospect
that the amount of these collections
VIII decrease; on the contrary. they
will certainly increase from wear to
year. Even on the basis of last years
receipts, Alaska will have for road
pudding rather more than $4,000 every
year. Of the balance Of $50. 600 m
wards of $4,000 will be used for main
| tenance Of schools, and $4,000 for the
care of insane persons
Inc war department engineers say
that a good deal can be accomplished
IN the bodybuilding line, even with
$4,000 a year. The new law provides
for the appointment of a road COM
mission of three officers of the army,
one of which shall be an engineer Off
Ger to be selected by the secretary Of
war, and the others officers Of the line
! or staff regularly on duty at Alaska
army posts.
Power Almost Unlimited.
This road commission will have al
most unlimited powers. The law says
the commission shall have 'the pow
er, upon their own motion or upon Pc
titiOn, to locate, lay out, construct and
| maintain wagon roads and pack trails
wherever they, in their judgment, may
deem the same to be advisable and
necessary. General rules are prescribed
to govern the board, and the form Of
! procedure is stated in broad terms
The actual construction will begin, in
all probability, in the season Of 1905.
The new law does not. of course,
make the burden of petty taxes in
Alaska any less, but it does give the
people of the territory compensation
| for taxation, and that is what the
| Alaskans have been demanding for
many years. Walter E. Clark.

It is~quite safe to say that there has
never been a president of the United
States who made his own will and his
own political interests SO uniformly the
rule in appointments as Mr.. Roosevelt
has done. The facts are notorious, and
cannot be answered by statistics, be-
cause they indicate a sovereign con-

When they are in the way they are

MUST NOT MISLEAD
New York Has important New
Corporation Laws.

ALBANY, N. Y, April 29. - Gov.
Odel today signed three important
bills affecting the business of fiduciary
corporations. Two of them are aimed
to curtail the business of corporations
whose titles are held to be misleading
owing to the presence therein Of the
words trust" banking" guarantee. .

them is admittedly designed to affect
the Corporation Trust company, which
was alleged to have been instrumental
in the incorporation of the United
States Shipbuilding company, the
Franklin syndicate, the IrOquois Thea
ter company, and others concerning
which irregularities have been alleged.
The new laws forbid any corpora
ton, not moneyed one, to use any
of the prohibited words in it's title; re-
quire such corporations heretofore or
ganized to add to the title the phrase
mot mOneyed cOrporation;" forbid
any domestic corporation to act as agent
in this state for any foreign corporation
using the prohibited words in its title
unless it be in fact a moneyed corpora
ton, and also forbid the issue of any
certificate of authority to any foreign
corporation having any Of the pro-
hibited words in its title unless it be
in fact moneyed corporation.
The third bill authorizes banking
corporations to transfer, register and
countersign certificates of stocks, bonds
or other evidences of indebtedness, and
to act as agent of any corporation, for
eign or domestic, for any lawful pur-
pose.
The Iroquois Theater company, con-
