about a quarter Of a mile back Of Kit

local reputation prior to June II,
1882. On that date Riley, writing under
the homely nom de plume Of "Benja-

old Indianapolis Journal the poem that
brought the BrandyWine to fame. The
poem printed on that day is prefaced
with the following editorial note:

Mr.. HARMON REPLIES.

Judson Harmon of the eminent law
firm OF Judson & Harmon, of Ctncin-
natl has been interviewed on the sub
ject of President Roosevelt's elaborate
defense of Mr.. Morton in the matter
of the Santa Fe rebate cases. Mr..
Harmon says, with much point: The
president and the attorney general
seem to be congratulating each other
because the government lost it's case
against the Santa Fe Railroad COM
pany."
That the correspondence between the
president and Mr.. Moody, made public
some days ago, did present the appear
ance suggested by Mr.. Harmon is be-
yond contravention. And Mr.. Harmon,
stil speaking TO the point, goes on:
IF they were always so certain there
was nothing in the case, I do not under
stand why they turned it over to Mr..
Judson and myself. The interstate
commerce commission found and re-
ported that the company had for years
flagrantly broken the law against re-
bates. We refused to believe that the
corporation had slipped out Of nights
and handed over the rebates while the
officers In charge of its traffic were
abed. We proposed to proceed against
them accordingly. This course was
disapproved and we thereupon re-
signed

as hi, says, for the att ney general to
proclaim that there is nothing in
case in which the government is to
appear as prosecutor, and then turn It
over to an attorney who is expected to
entertain the same opinion. Not many
suits at law are won when they are
begun in that half-hearted fashion.

MoToRIETY MADNESS.

1t develops that Walter Scott, the
Death valley cowboy miner-faker. was
not assassinated after all. He was
only wounded, according to latest re-
ports. StiH later reports will probably
show that "Scotty'' shot those bullets
through his saddle himself, and him
SELF turned loose the horse that was
afterwards found riderless. And it has
only been a little while since the news
that ''Scotty' had been fatally injured
in an automobile accident was tele-
graphed around the country. Then the
breathless world was told that "Scotty''
would not die, but that he would be a
helpless cripple during the rest of his
life.
There are in this world many forms
of madness among people who are out
side of lunatic asylums. We have seen
forms Of money-madness, of speed
madness. of cigarette and whisky
madness, and other kinds. The worst
lunatic outside of an asylum, though,
is the fellow who is crazy on the sub
Ject of notoriety. This "Scotty'' is a
sample. He is never so happy as when
his name is in the papers. No matter
how foolish the exploit may be, wheth
er it is a record-breaking railroad
train. mile-a-minute automobile race,
a fake assassination-the more that is
said about it the better "scotty'
likes it.
This poor fool is By no means alone
in his fondness for newspaper motor
iety. There is the citizen who care
fully sends to the papers an announce
ment that he is going away for a few
days and then goes around among his
friends audibly wondering why in
thunder the newspapers can't let a fell
low alone. When he comes home he
sends down a nice statement about
where he has been, with perhaps an
interview giving his opinion about the
places he has seen. If the stuff gets
into print he tells everybody the news
paper men just bother him to death.
Newspapers and newspaper men have
learned by experience that the most
interesting news is very often the hard
est news to get. The best story is
usually in the possession of somebody
who doesn't want to tell it, and who
only gives it out after ne has been
driven into a corner. But that Is the
way of the world. Anything that is
worth having as the old saying puts
it. is worth working for. Among those
things we would not enumerate anec-
dOtes about "Scotty"

And the sunshine and shadder fell over

And it mottled the worter with amber

And the snake feeders four gauzy wings

1t was James Whitcomb Riley that
gave the world a heart interest in the

twenty miles below here. It's bed is Of
MOSES, swamp grasses, and a muck
more somber than any child of Africa.
But the crystal goblets Of the gods

OUR GOLD PRODUCTION.

In a recent issue of the National
Geographical Magazine are some inter
testing figures on the worlds gold pro-
duction and the great increase in the
amount Of gold that is yielded every
year. We are told that in 1885 all the
twOrld produced only $115OOO,OOO in gold.
In 1904 the production had increased
20 SS47, O0O, 900 and it was confidently
predicted that this year the total would
not be less than 1915, OoO, 900. Beginning
with 1906 and continuing for an in
definite period, the experts think the
annual output Of gold Will be $500 900, =
BOO
when we remember that in 1885 -
says the writer, the production of gold
was but $115, 100000 we begin to get a
comprehensive view Of the significance
of this increase. When we remember
further that the entire monetary stock
Of gold IN the world is about s., zoo, 600, .
