To Get Rid ola Dangerous Nuisance
Whatever its evils or the injury to the public
health therefrom resulting says an exchange,
the splitting nuisance will never be suppressed
until citizens who object to it take the trouble
the law against those who are guilty of this
disgusting and dangerous practice. This is
not an agreeable task, but it is one which
enough persons must be willing to perform to
deter those who have present no respect for
laws or ordinances. In car full of people
one splitter will annoy and put in more or less
jeopardy all the rest; but not one of all the
number usually has the courage to say to the
offender that he must desist or leave the car.
Those who may be called upon lin the line of
their duties know too much to refuse such de-
mands when formally made, but they rarely
volunteer to compel an observance of the
rules. There is some excuse for this in the
apparent indifference of the public to this
form of nuisance.

He Had a Good Word for The Farmer
MIR. Il. w. Collingwood, editor of the RurGI
New Yorker, made an address at Cambridge,
Md few days ago before the Peninsula Hor-
ticultural Society. He said that the lawyer,
the doctor and other professional men have
foryeArs looked down on the farmer as be-
ne4H1 hem socially, but the day has come
when the farmer should take his place as the
peer of any man.
He saidthat the children in the schools in
stead Of tigsring on stocks and bonds as the
source of wealth, should figure on potatoes
and apples, and instead of looking in the
ranks of warriors and statesmen for their
models they should look to the great explorers
of the resources of the soil who have made
the earth yieh its richest products for the
good of men. He also declared that the school
readers should ee prepared by competent per-
sons who should know about nature and that
they should maze the child familiar with the
phases of everyday farm life.

Will PAY Actual Expenses or Detectives.
--On Tuesday States Attorney Bussey appeared
before the County Commissioners and stated
that Detectives Hogan, Miller and Dick, of the
city police department bad been at work for q
week on the Beckman murder case and had
made no charge except for expenses actually
incurred, but that he had been told by Marshal
Farnan that the detectives could not continue
their work unless the county would undertake
to pay these expenses. At first the County
Commissioners were not inclined to do this,
but Mr.. Bussey made q strong plea against
taking q narrow stand in the matter He said
it was necessary for the peace and good gov
eminent of the county that such q crime
should not go UNPUBLISHED, lift were possible
to discover the murderer. He said that the
detectives had made fair progress and that if
they were allowed to continue they would
probably be successful in running down the
Beckman slayer. Later in the day the Board
announced that it would reimburse the detec-
tives for their actual expenses.

there TO stand up for her. Chicago
may be unloyely in some respects,

ORDER AT THE CARNIVAL.

A great deal of complaint is being
made about the way the negroes are
conducting themselves during the car
niyal, especially a. night. The Bulle-
tin has received complaints on this
line. both by mail and by telephone.
Several times last night the editor of
The Bulletin received messages over
the phone. asking him to condemn
the conditions complained of and do.
mand thai they be stopped.
In the first place. the editor of The
Bulletin doesn't know just how much
virtue there is in the complaints. In
the second place, he is too busy to
NEEDLE with things that do not CON
Germ him and With which he has
no more to do than any other private
citizen. The editor of The Bulletin
is always ready TO do what he can
for the public and for popular rights,
but he Is not a regulator Of the uni
verse. He sees nothing he can do
in the matter. unless he should grid
himself with boss pistols and bowie
knives and go out and command or
der-in the which he would be Just
as big a law breaker as anybody else
but just now he Is too happy and
contented with the world TO run the
risk of lying IN prison for wholesale
murder.
So far as the complaint referred TO
Is concerned, the editor of The Bulle-
tin is not the mayor of the city. nor
chief Of police nor has he supervision
over these officers in any form, shape
or fashion Some persons seem to
labor under one OF these Impressions.
As to the negroes taking the street
fair. the negroes. so far as we know.
have as much right TO 90 to the fair
as the whites. II they go in such
vast numbers as to cause IL to be said
that they took" the fair. that Is
perfectly legitimate. The fair is here
to be taken" and the street fair
managers are doubtless anxious for IL
to be taken" That Is. Of course.
taken peacefully.
II he negroes become unruly. If
they manifest a disposition in any
way 10 violate the Law. or to do things
which they have no right 70 do. IL
they become insOlent and try 10 in
terfere with the rights of others. then
they should be promptly arrested and
hustled TO jdil.-and we take il that
they will be. That is all there is to
the mater And it's a matter strict
ly for the police department OF the
city.
Chief Price has at his command. in
addition to his regular force. quite a
number Of extra officers They are
amply able to see that the law is
obeyed in every particular. and it g.
TO suppose that they will
protect the public peace. and prompt
~ squeleh all semblance Of rOwdy-
ism.
Chief Price has manifested a dis
position and an ability to thoroughly
enforce the law. If yOn have a com
plant. make it TO him. The Bulletin
Is not on the police force.

The railroad around Lake Baikal on

traffic, but passengers and troops are
