Case fs to He Presented to Court
Twenty-sixth, So Great
Haste IL Necessary
Now.

The removal OF United States Marshal
Mathews and the delay In appointing his
successor may seriously handicap the prog
ress of the Union Pacific railroad tax suit,
now being heard before Special Examiner
Pearsall, for the reason there is no legal
way by which summons can be served on
witnesses. This matter came up at the
hearing Wednesday morning when Attorney
Dundy for the railroad asked that the
cross-examination OF some OF the witnesses
for the state be postponed until some fu-
ture date These witnesses had come here
without being subpoenaed and they OBJ
jected TO coming back for the cross-ex-
animation.
"of course, II you won't come back OF
your own accord we can subpoena you,
remarked one OF the attorneys. "and COM
pei you to Gomez
Who will you get TO serve the sum-
mons?" answered the witness "You have
no marshal. ard there is no other way they
can be served"
The attorneys agreed with the witness
that until a marshal Is appointed witnesses
cannot be forced TO come TO Omaha and
testify. but n they come il will be of Their
own free win and accord

The Beginning of the End of Graf

The most gratifying note of Tues
days elections in some of the more i'm
/ portant states of the union is that it
sounds the death knell of graft. 1t
| signifies the beginning of the end of
| the greatest evil that has ever crept
into the American body polite.
| Graft means Doodle. which not only
corrupts legislative assemblies from
| the highest to the lowest. but affords
! the sustenance and the livelihood
| of political bossism. To Kill graft
| is 10 strike at the root of the boOdler
and this insures the starving out
| of the boss The starving out
of the boss promises political re-
igeneration. crushing of the machine
with whatever party it may be identi-
| fed and the elimination from place of
| Influence and power of the man who
subsists from the crumbs and pickings
of vice.
Rock Island gained proud distinction
throughout the state and TO some extent
in the nation. when il undertook and ac-
complished in a large measure the task
of Kidding the community of the odious
communicating element such as dTags
the party with which it works down 10
the lowest ebb of political degradation
and Generalization.
1t is through that courage of convic-
ton. which. while beginning in the polit-
ical organization, may eventually go be
yond the boundaries of partisanship
and summon TO its aid the agency of
intelligent independent political thought
such as has been exercised to so not
able a degree recently, that the most
laudable of political ambitions may be
realized.
May the end of political graft. come
through whatever source it may, be as
effective as the beginning is pro-
nOunced.

TOwnsite Sales Postponed.

Acting upon the suggestions of the
governor of Idaho and prominent cit
liens of the state. the secretary of the
interior has announced the postpone
ment of sales of lots in the new town
sites of Hepburn ana Rupert, on the
Minidoka reclamation project. There
was every indication that attendance
ON the advertised dates of sale, No
vember II and q. respectively, would
be large. but owing TO the possibility
of bad weather at this time of the year
and the lack of suitable accommoda-
tious for visitors. il has been deemed
advisable To postpone the date of sale
until early in April of next year. At
that time pleasant weather may be ex-
pected. there will be water in the new
government canals and more than 900
of the new settlers who have already
established themselves on the lands
will be clearing off the sage brush
and putting in their crops.
