WAS A GROUNDLESS REPORT
Congressman Griggs Has Nc Desire
to Again Serve as Chairman of
National Campaign Committee.

With their rivals stationed at Ports
mouth holding the center of the stage,
the correspondents at Washington are
driven to desperate straits in their
efforts to inject Washington date
lines into the newspapers they repre-
sent. For while they succeeded by
raising some discussion of the rival
ries of different aspirants for the
presidential nomination in 1908; but
that subject exhausted, the report that
Judge Griggs of Georgia is looking
for trouble has been trotted out to do
service once more.
The report in question makes the
Georgian an aspirant for the chair
manship of the democratic congress
sional campaign committee, a posi-
ton he filled through one campaign
with credit to himself and to the salts
faction of his fellow democrats.
We happen to know that Judge
Griggs is neither seeking that posi-
ton, nor would he be able to hold it
even should the democrats in congress
insist, as many of them have done.
The congressional campaign which
Judge Griggs conducted in 1902
brought substantial gains to his par
ty, but conditions were no more favor
able to democratic success then than
they were two years before that date
or two years later. He has always
been given credit by his democratic
associates of having led the best pos
sible fight, and there is no question
that were he to consent to do so they
would be exceedingly glad to have
him serve as chairman again. But,
as we have said, not only is he not a
candidate, as reported, but under no
circumstances could he, for business
reasons, serve even if urged to do SO.

SANTA FE TRAIL MARKING.
Old Route Ia Kansas to BE Marked

by Children.
Kansas school children are to mark
the course of the old Santa Fe trail
through Kansas, says a Topeka CORE
spondent of the St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. The legislature last winter APP
propriated the sum of 81, 900 to be used
in buying and engraving milestones to
mark the trail The fund will be In
charge of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution and will be supple
mental to a fund raised by them some
time ago.
There are so many schoolhouses IN
the state within a mile or two of the
old trail that it would be an easy matter
for the children, by working after
school hours or on half holidays, to
mark the trail. At the suggestion OF
George 2. Morehouse, former senator
from Morris, the State Historical So
ciety has taken up the question Of put
ting the children at work in this way
and it is probable that arrangements
will be made for holidays in all schools
near the trail so that the children may
place the markers.

JUST TO BE FAIR.
Atlanta News Wishes to Know Who Is
Right About Rates.

Right About Rates.
A dispatch from Birmingham says
that Governor Jelks will probably call
an extra session of the Alabama legis-
lature. One object of the extra session
will be to pass an act giving to Ala
bama the same railroad rates charged
in Georgia. Commenting on this. the
Atlanta News says:
either our freight rates are better
than Alabama's or they are worse.
The issue is distinctly between the
politicians of the two states.
"Only the rate sheets themselves can
settle the controversy, and what better
service can the Georgia commission
render this honest campaign of educa-
ton than to publish side by side from
official sources the rate sheets of the
two states and give the people who
vote exact and official information
upon one of the vital issues of our
politics?
This is fair. Ihls is honest, InlS
is Just.

Wood 8, 6, heard of the city5s wants
and Immediately went q shopping' to,
find oft what it would cost them to
get the pipe into the Canadian city.
The agent of the Great Northern at
Philadelphia, so the testimony shows,
made up combination rail and water
line composed of the Baltimore & Ohio,
which carried the pipe to Fairport,
Ohio, where 1,400 tons were turned over
to the Central Transit company, which
carried the freight to Duluth, where
the Great Northern accepted the freight
and delivered it to the consignee. The
rate from Philadelphia to Duluth via
the lakes is 2411a cents a hundred. From
Duluth to Winnipeg the. rate is 20
cents.
r. D. Wood & Co. could not supply
all the pipe, so they went out along
the line of the Reading and bought
200 tons. This pipe was shipped to
Buffalo, where the Transit company
picked it up. Three hundred tons were
bought elsewhere, and these, too, were
sent to Buffalo, the contracts being
finished in May
Whether the Baltimore & Ohio and
the General Transit participated in the
Relating, the commission has not been
able to discover. The members of it
are well satisfied with the unearthing

LIQUOR SALES TO REDS;
LEUPP'S INSTRUCTIONS
BY w. W..rJermane.
Special to The Journal. =.

Il.
Washington, Sept. 7-Indian Com
missioner Leupp said today that in
structions to Major Scott regarding the
suppression Of the sale of liquor to In
dams on the Leech lake reservation
were general in their character, and
that the same instructions had been
sent to agents on other reservations.
Under these instructions Major Scott
is to present evidence Of violations Of
the law to the district attorney with
within prosecutions rest.
The commissioner said he has left the
construction of the law to the depart
ment of justice, and that the determin-
alton of whether the sale of liquor on
lands bought from Indians was illegal
rested with that department. One of
the legal officers of the interior depart
nent. when asked whether the law pro-
llibiting the sale of liquor to Indians
applied to lands to which title had
passed to white men, today said:
TT do not now recall specific decision
on. the question whether liquor could be
sold on so-called reservation land or
other land formerly in the possession Of
Indians, but it is safe to say that where
such lands are now within the limits
of an existing reservation, the law pro
hibiting the sale of liquor applies. The
government could use drastic measures
to prevent the sale of liquor thereon.
In case of lands outside an existing
reservation, cededs lands or inherited
lands where title has passed to white
men, the government could not prevent
the sale Of liquor upon them. -

Des Moines, Sept. 7.-Walter H. But
Ter, the former congressman, who has
been behind the effort to secure a re-
ceiver for the Northwestern National
Life Insurance company Of Minneapolis,
launched a new company here yester-
day, to be known as the Acme, and
many insurance men say that it is his
hope to secure much business from the
Iowa policy-holders of the Minneapolis
company.
Insurance men in Des Moines, talk
ing about the case, say that, while there
may be some sincerity in the suits
started against the Minneapolis com
pany, the action was brought at a time
which was most opportune for the es-
Establishment of new company which
would claim to mend the defects alleged
to exist in the Minneapolis company.
It is asserted that an effort will be
made to prove in court here next Mon
day that Mr.. Butler is sore at the
Northwestern National Life Insurance
company of Minneapolis and desires to
get even for alleged troubles he had
with it when he was an officer. :
New interest is added to the case by
Butler s new company and the charge
that he is trying to gather up the
Northwestern policy holders whom he
attempted to brighten by the charge
made in his application for a receiver
