Advocating Assassination.

American newspapers do not often
advocate assassination and the Amer
lean public is decidedly against that
mode of political reform, however fine
the motives Of the murderers, When
Mckinley was killed the people inclined
to the view that the miserable wretch
who took his life had been in a measure
melted to the deed by the cruel and
coarse cartoons in certain yellow jour
mails. There was such an outburst of
Indignation that that class of journal
ism took back seat for time. But we
have passed that indirect form of en-
enlargement to crime and arrived at
the stage where assassination is directly
and coldly counseled.
L The Minneapolis Tribune wants the
car removed in the interest of the Rus
sian people. 1t counsels his murder and
justifies the demand on the ground that
it would spare the lives Of hundred
Thousand miserable Russians. Perhaps
1t would, but we do not know it,. and
we do know that assassination is one
of the most abhorent of crimes. Nc
doubt Booth could and did Justify his
murder Of Lincoln by as specious argu
ments as the Tribune advances for the
killing Of Nicholas II. Guiteau always
claimed that in removing President Gar
field he was actuated by high public
Interest, but Guiteau was hanged as 6
murderer.
The advocacy Of assassination is
dangerous doctrine and not to be toll
Grated under any conditions. ~

The Equitable MIDDLE.

The impression prevails that the di.
rectors Of the Equitable lost their op.
portunity when they rejected the Frick
report. They must now be dealt with
as with men who either cannot or will
not do their duty. The New York in
surance commissioner is preparing to
deal with them by ejecting the Equit.
able from the state pending an adjust,
ment of it's affairs on business basis.
If this radical action is taken, the
directors will have only themselves to
blame. A report was placed before
them which showed conclusively that
the affairs of the company had been
recklessly managed; that the interests
of the policy holders had been lost
sight of in the rush to grab fees, emolu
ments and commissions on the part of
it's high officers.
The minute the contents Of the re-
port were known the Hyde and Alex
ander interests, which have been fight
ing each other tooth and nail fol
months, formed combination to reject
it. They did reject it, and in so doing
forfeited the confidence Of all those
who are depending upon them for the
safeguarding of their interests. -
The board seemed to look upon the
whole proceedings as fight between
Gould and Hartman, and they LINED
up for Gould or for Hartman regard
less Of the policy holders. Gould ha6
a majority in the board because he has
always been a Hyde man. Hartman
who was also originally Hyde man
seems to have found his railroad oppo
sition to Gould incompatible with fur
ther congenial companionship will
Hyde He deserted Hyde because he
could not separate him from Gould.
The consequence is that young Mr.
Hyde remains, with his dummy direct
ors, the Equitable company. The board
has been shorn Of some Of it's best me1
by designations" the business of tn,
company is still at standstill because
the public will not accept any sucl
settlement as the directors have mad,
as final. The Equitable policy holder
will have to be cared for, and as tn,
directors have shown startling inca
pacity to do it, the state of New Yorl
will take q hand. 1=--..>s-..

Licensing Street Preachers.

By all means let Minneapolis license
the street preachers. We believe there
should be a committee of the council,
composed of one alderman from each
ward, with Rand of wineroom ordinance
fame for chairman, to examine candi-
dates for the curb ministry as to their
doctrine, polity, domestic status and
- "where last employed' Another sug-
gestion, which has been made, that the
itinerants report their receipts and what
they did with it, is also eminently pra-
teal. The council should have an audit
ing committee on street preachers, and
Of this, also, Mr.. Rand should be chair
man.
A large amount Of money is annually
beguiled from the public by street
preachers, often running as high as
$l.25 in single night. The people who
give up this swag do so under sort
of moral compulsion which aldermen
are perfectly competent to investigate.
They are swayed by the eloquence of
the speaker and before they know they
have given up 5 or even ten cents
So far as the individual is concerned, it
is gone, but the city council can trace
the cash in bulk by requiring from each
itinerant minister an accounting. Shall
there be money handed about and the
aldermen know nothing of it? The
thought is intolerable.

The little gate was reached at last
Half hid in lilacs down the lane;
She pushed it wide. and, as she passed
A wistful look she backward cast,
And said, .'Auf wiedersehen!'
With hand on the latch, vision white,

Half doubling If she had right,
Soft as the dews that fell that night,
She said, .sAuf wiedersehen!''
The lamps clear CLEAN fits up the stair;

All, in that chamber, whose rich air

Thinks she, .Auf wiedersehen!'

ways change the form Of the Russian

strong Russian desire; hence the proba-

this change in the direction of action will
be made at a time when the Scandinavian
people will have put themselves in a con-

The Anti-Saloon Fight in Los
.. -, Angeles. 49,.

Los Angeles has just been thru the
most exciting election in it's history.
Following a series Of evangelistic meet
ings which aroused great interest in
that city, petitions began to be circu-
lated requesting the city council to sub
NIT to the voters Of Los Angeles for
their: approval or disapproval an or
dinance providing for the abolition Of
all saloons. These petitions received
signatures to the number of over five
thousand. In compliance with this
great petition, the city council prepared
and submitted to the voters Of the city
at special election, June 2, the ques-
ton of abolition of the saloon.
The campaign was waged vigorously
on. both sides, but without bitter person
alities or mud-slinging or any unpleas-
ant features. One Of the most import
ant factors in determining the result was
the Business Men s association. Their
campaign was quiet, but was one Of
steady resistance to the adoption Of the
ordinance. On the other hand, the pro-
hibitionists and the Antisaloon league
conducted nightly meetings for several
weeks. When the vote was taken last
Friday the result was 8,345 in favor of
the antisaloon ordinance and 1924
against it. .
Undoubtedly great many considera-
tions influenced those who voted against
this ordinance, and undoubtedly not all
Of them by any means are friends Of
| the saloon. The question seems to have
resolved itself into the proposition
whether prohibition or some regulation
Of the saloon business should obtain in
Los Angeles, and the people in that city
seem to have decided by vote Of nearly
two to one that the regulated saloon in
the present state of public sentiment is
a wiser method of dealing with the ex-
listing appetite for intoxicants than an
attempt at absolute prohibition Of the
liquor traffic. The vote in Los Angeles
brought the question Of policy squarely
to the front, but doubtless the senti-
ment is not materially different from
that which would prevail in most cities
of over 100000 population. So far as
we know, prohibition has never been at
| tempted in any city of that size up to
date, and it is only fair and reasonable
to suppose that a large number Of those
who voted against the ordinance are
just as much opposed to saloons as many
who voted for it, but are not convinced
that the abolition Of the saloon is the
best way at present to curtail those
evils which follow the use Of intoxicat
ing liquors. The failure Of the prohi
bition party to make any progress in
state or national politics of late years
would seem to indicate lack of conf
dence on the part Of most of the enc
( mics Of the saloon with the prohibition
Idea as the best means of treatment

largest expression in favor of prohibi
ton that we have ever heard of il, {

Have You Been Buying Spurious Pic

the June number Of the North American
Review a startling article on '"Ihe Irat-

there has been for years deliberate and
sustained attempt on the part OF some
picture merchants in Paris to palm OF.
especially upon American purchasers,
paintings of unknown artists as the pro-
auctions Of eminent masters. He gives it
as his opinion that there are few collec-
lions IN the United States which have not
been more or less Initiated by these fraud
ulent practices. His revelations as to the
methods employed in this nefarlous trattlc
are astounding. 1t even seems that tnere
are in Paris a number OF manu1aclorles
III which false masters are produced
wholesale for the market. Paris au-
thority illustrates his article by relating
instances of fabrication:
