CRIPPLES MUST PAY.
Old Custom In Montana is Set Aside
by Progress.

on account OF the demands made
by the state upon the treasurer of
Silver Bow county, Mont, which con-
tains the city OF Butte. the cripples
who are conducting saloons will have
to pay n license as provided by the
statutes. The matter has been
brought to the attention OF the coull-
ty attorneys office again by Treasur-
er Ben Calkins, who has received
word from the state examiner to the
effect that the licenses will have to
be collected.
For some time II has been the GUS
pied to conduct their establishment in
that county without paying anything
into the treasurer's office. There are
more than dozen of such establish
ments in the county and the licenses
will aggregate upwards of $1,000 per
year Fifty per cent of this amount
belongs to the state. and the officials
at Helena are now insisting that Sill
yer Bow county must make the col
lections and turn In the states share
to the state treasurer.
The internal revenue collector has a
complete list of persons who are con-
ducting saloons in silver Bow county
and the state examiner is also supplied
with a correct list, The state being q
soulless corporation does not consider
the physical or financial condition OF
persons in the saloon business, and the
cripple has no better advantage than
the strongest man when It comes to
the cold-blooded proposition of COM
plying with the state laws in regard
to public revenues.

effects Of the quarantine are not felt
there financially except at the hotels,
and there is no alarm or interruption
to business except passenger travel.
In Mississippi there might be as
well a general prevalence of fever
throughout the state so far as busi-
ness is concerned, for many centers
are bottled and freight traffic is re-
ferred to points where many railroads
have abandoned local trains and all
new enterprises are abandoned. 1t is
thought that at Jackson normal busi-
ness conditions will be resumed in 80
days

lO75 ARREsrs In one MONTH.
The Largest Number in Many Years
I'm Portland.

Portland, August With an in
crease of more than 300 arrests over
the previous month, July is closing
with 1915 arrests made by the police.
That is the largest number of arrests
that has been made in any single
month for many years. The increased
population because Of the Lewis and
Clark fair is the cause of the increas-
ed police business.
Along with the increased police bus
mess the revenue from the police
court has been nearly doubled. The
revenue from fines and forfeited bail
this morning aggregated $1,000, while
last month the revenue amounted to
about $1,000, but the average monthly
receipts is about $500.
While the police have been excep-
tionally busy, no serious tricks have
been turned. One murder occurred
during the month, but the murderer,
Louis Ferarris, was captured and held
to the grand jury. Many vagrants
were apprehended and driven out Of
this city No hold-up robberies have
occurred, but one attempt was made
on Attorney f. V. Holman. A number
of negro women of the North End
have been arrested on robbery
charges and have been held to the
grand jury.

Little Freight Going West During the
Summer Months, But Much Going
Eastward.

Freight crews are "dead-headed"
west over the o. r. & N. every day
to handle the heavy eastbound busi-
ness. The regular crews that come
west on freight trains are not numer-
GUS enough to handle the heavy east
bound business, so "dead-heads" are
the order of every day.
A dead-head crew is one sent over
the road, attached to freight or pas
senger train, but not working. The
caboose is hauled as a box car and
the crew has nothing to do with the
operation of the train on which 1t Is
being carried, but on reaching the end
of the run the dead-head crew must
take out the first train that Is made
ready to go, the crew that brought In
the train being entitled to rest until
the second train is ready to leave.
"Dead-heading" is made necessary
where the traffic is heavier one way
than the other. Ordinarily the regu-
lar crews going one way over the road
are able to handle the business going
either way, but in case business in
either direction is heavy, then the ex-
ira crew is sent over the line to meet
the rush.
Engines are often used as helpers to
Kamela and then run Eight" or with
out a train to Umatilla, where they
are Joined by "dead-head" freight
crew and return with a train. Train
men get full time for "dead-heading"
with a caboose over the road.

London, Aug. l.-Considerable pro-
gress is making with the new Anglo
Japanese treaty Of alliance. Some de-
tails have not yet been fully settled
but It can be definitely stated that the
terms will be decidedly more COM
prehensive than those governing the
present alliance. The Associated
Press learns that the British govern
ments presumption is that its advice
will be asked by Japan in the course
of the peace negotiations and that it
will then gladly offer what counsel
may seem to be best calculated to as
sure a permanent peace.

NOW LET THE DIRT FLY

Reorganization of the Panama canal commission as announced from Wash ipgton is apparently a long step for ward toward the realization of the completed isthmiaa waterway. The method of the old commission. which practially was the town meeting idea applied to what is really a close ccr- poration enterprise. has given way to a concise plan for the distribution of duties, powers and responsibilities.
 Under the new scheme the work is divided into departments. The com mission, which is to perform it's du- ties through the agency of small ex- ecutive committee. is to take charge of the fiscal affairs. buying of supplies, etc. and operation of the Panama rail road. The governor of the zone is to attend to political affairs. sanitation. etc, and will act generally as a police ssss Ia tt!..e third apartment .s .k!e chief engineer who is to do the dig ging, apparently unrestricted so long as he makes the dirt fly.
 Of course, there are higher up'' powers, and in these positions may be found the President and Secretary Taft, who may be regarded as special representatives of the stockholders with final authority to say yes or no. To Congress has been left the privi- lege of growing. which is so neces- sary in all public enterprises. and up- en the lawmakers also devolves the duty of raising funds for the prose cution of the work
 This new organization should ac- complish results, as it is formed on the same lines which mark the ar- engagement of forces for prosecuting great American enterprises. The conl- mission and it's departments are now urged to proceed with the digging.

THE PRESIDENTS RAILWAY RATE SpEECH

At Austin President Roosevelt turn cd from the pleasant and more or less conventional themes of rapid transit oratory to the grave and important question of rate regulation, says The Record Herald Even the brief sum- mary of his speech before us warrants two inferences. The first is that the rate problem has remained paramount in the Presidents mind, contrary to the belief of certain senators whose wish is father to the thought. The second is that NIT. Roosevelt has read and considered the various criticisms of his position and announced inten- ton tn work for measure lodging somewhere the power to order the i'm mediate substitution of fair and req sonable rate for one adjudged unfair and unreasonable by the proper au- thority.
 The President told his Texas audi ence that the present interstate com merce laws do not confer the power to supervise rates and that legislation is needfui which shall enable the representatives of the public to see to it that any unjust or oppressive dis eriuinating rates are altered so as to be just and fair, and are altered imme diately."
 All sorts of abuses and evils dire have been predicted as the effect ol this proposed power to order the i'm mediate substitution of fair rate The President, alluding, no doubt, to these gloomy prophecies. admitted knespcssi bility of occasional misuse or abuse8d The power, for the chance of abuse al ways attends the bestowal of a power Bnt he added: There must be a cer tain trust placed in the common senss and common honesty of those who ar' to enforce the law This hits th' nail on the head No reasonable mar really expects the commerce commis sion-or special railway court--tt run amuck among the railroads. slash ing and cutting rates, entertainin' trivial complaints and ordering hori zontal and sweeping reductions spell ing confscation and spoliation- Le US have common sense In criticism
