DIsPELINe THE PAUL JONES MYTH

1t is strange that the English view of Pau
Jones, who has been represented as a pirate by
those who are naturally prejudiced, should have
obtained so much credence in the United States
In his Paris letter to the Louisville Courer-Jour
nal the veteran editor, Henry Watterson, gives
this interesting picture of the celebrated hero:
He died the ranking officer of the Ameri-
can navy Three weeks after his death let
ters came from Washington and Jefferson
placing our marine interests in Europe in his
hands and authorizing him to organize an ex-
petition to go after the Barbary pirates. He
stood in the relation of son to Franklin.
OF brother to Jefferson, possessing the full
est confidence of the father of his country
Whenever he appears upon the written page,
we see not only naval commander but
statesman, his writing, in its calm wisdom
and crystal lucidity reminding us of the writ
ing of Abraham Lincoln. Personally he was
the most captivating of men, handsome. and
gentle. When he came back from his won
derful sea fight the duchess of Orleans lodged
him in the Palais Royal. The king made him
a chevalier of France. Paris went wild In
the court, in the highest French society he
was literally "a bowling SWELL" though he
himself did none of the "howling" There
is not blot his escutcheon The day
which witnesses the arrival of his remains in
American waters should be celebrated all
over the United States as holiday If the
president be as just man as he is an able
man, he will so proclaim it, I much mistake
him il he does not do this.

What a tribute the government unwit-
tingly pays to the revoltionists Heretofore
il has spoken of them as a numerically in
significant clique, vainly endeavoring to scat
ter seeds of sedition and disloyalty among
the masses. If they have sufficient influence
with sailors, workmen and peasants to cause
such serious disorders as have occurred at
Odessa and Libau and other ports; if they
can produce instruction in the navy and
turn the cars warships' guns upon his
troops, the alleged worship and love of the
Russian masses for the car is worse than
a broken reed to lean on. What the revo-
lutioniss have done with some sections of
the navy they probably have dole with some
sections of the army. The autocracys own
statements show that it is facing revolt, if not
reyolution.-Chicago Record-Herald.

nnarIv not by the elements of disorder and
IavIessness, but by an influential class accus-
toned TO responsibility and local government.
Ii is 10 men such as these that Russia must
look for leadership if the present order of
things is overturned. 1t is hopeful sign. By
taking the initiative in the existing crisis
they win the respect of the masses and may
prove able to direct the forces of anarchy
INTO channels of liberal government.-New

The incident is now closed, but with
wretched anti-climax Nobody is captured;
nobody punished. The COVE, lment gets back
a battleship without officers or crew after
the craft has served its turn as a promoter
of rebellion. but there is no execution of ex-
emplary Justice no warning TO others who
may be disposed to emulate the spirit shown
by the men of the Potemkin. And so it is
with the latter that the triumph lies. Their
coup has been successful They have dealt
the government the severest blow that it has
sustained since the present revolutionary
movement developed, and the effects thereof
are certain to be lasting and far-reaching.-

THE CHICAGO INDICTMENTS

The Indictment of the beef trust by the fed
eral grand jury and the indictment of the labor
leaders by the Cook county grand jury in Chi
cago have been suggestive topics for the editorial
moulders of public opinion The New York
Times says
The law is no respector of persons. That
is our boast In so far as We can succeed in
making it true may have confidence in the
future of the republic. When capital" and
labor" are equally punished for breaking the
law the boast will be borne out by the facts.
When they are equally indicted and made to
stand trial for breaking the lew a good be-
ginning has been made toward such a demon
stration And such a good beginning Chi
cago and the country owe to United States
District Attorney Morris and States Attorney
Healy
Louis F. Post in The Public of Chicago is by
no means as well pleased the writer in the
Times. He calls attention to the fact that the
grand jury named the labor leaders who had in
its opinion, been guilty of receiving bribes but
failed to name the employers who gave the
brbes Regarding the beef trust indictment the
New York World says
BY the indictment at Chicago of five
beefpacking corporations and seventeen of
their leading officials thorough test of the
efficacy of the Sherman antitrust law is as
sured In this case no fne-spun distinctions
have been drawn between corporate and per-
sonal guilt N spite of President Roosevets
theories in the Paul Morton case the grand
jury is convinced that corporations act
through their officers and agents Thanks to
Mr. Roosevelt's personal interference the
reverse is true in the contempt proceedings
begun the same day against the Santa Fe
railway at Kansas City. There only the cor
poration is to be held to account. The pain
full necessity exists of bringing t companys
officials into court to answer for its acts but
they have been absolved from all RESPONSE
bility. The prosecution of the seventeen
beef trust must follow. Whether
any all of them will be sent to Jail, SEN
fenced to pay fines or lei go free remains to
be seen. Whether their prosecution will re-
suit in weakening the monopoly or lowering

the price OF meat is even more problematical.
The main thing is that the law shall be en-
forced without fear or favor. BY this time
Mr.. Roosevelt must realize how seriously he
has affronted public opinion and common
sense by shielding the Santa Fe officials
Fortunately no beefpacker is member of
the cabinet. This makes 1t reasonably GER
tain that the beef trust cases will be tried on
their legal merits, and that Mr.. Roosevelt
will not try to substitute his own peculiar no
lions of "a square DEAF fo- due process of
law-New York World.
But the Chicago grand jury did its work
conscientiousy and we'll and it now only re-
mains for the governments attorneys to pros
ecute the cases to a successful issue. This
will be a difficult task, owing TO the resources
OF the trusts for delaying and defeating justice
in the courts but the public may congratulate
itself that an excellent beginning has been
made and indulge the hope that the day is not
distant when it will be relieved from the ex-
tortion of monopoly tina has robbed ii con

JAMES B. DILL IN THE PUBLIC EYE

few days after James B. Dill, the noted
corporation attorney, delivered his remarkable
address which appeared in The Independent last
week. he was appointed judge of the court of
errors and appeals by the governor of New Jersey
II has been stated that in accepting a position
worth only $4,000 year he has been forced to
give up law practice worth 100000 a year. On
the other. hand, it is asserted by some news
paper correspondents that Judge Dill will still be
able 10 handle his practice j. New York city,
HIS action, however, is generally commended:
Mr.. Dill has been born again. He has
seen the folly of mere moneygettng and,
having seen it, he was nauseated We can
not help but feel, and rejoice in the feeling,
that Mr., Dlls action is but symptomatic of
an age of reason that is coming upon u.s.
DlIl Will make good judge. He has been
baptized in the fount of justice. Let others
everywhere emulate him. Let reason prevail

fusion and snare.-Columbus Press Post

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CATARRH
just Breathe Hyomei Four Times a
Day and Be Cured.

Day and Be Cured
If few years ago some one had
said you can cure catarrh by breath
ing air charged with healing bal
sam the idea would have been ridi-
culed, and it remained for that emil
nent investigator, r. L. Booth, to dis
cOver.in HyOmei this method of cure.
HyOmei has performed almost mi
raculous cures of catarrh, and is to-
day recognized by leading members
of the medical profession as the only
advertised remedy that can be relied
upon to do just what it claims. The
complete outfit of Hyomei costs Sl.00,
and consists of an inhaler, a medicine
dropper, and a bottle of HyOmei.
Breathe HyOmei through the inhaler
for few minutes four times a day,
and it will cure the worst case Of ca
tarrh. 1t soOthes and heals the mu-
cOus membrane of the air passages,
prevents irritation and effects a com
plete and lasting cure.
la Dawson there are scores of we'll
known people who have been cured of
catarrh by Hyomei. If it does not
cure you, Dawson Drug Co. will re-
turn the money you pay for HyOmet.
This is the strongest evidence that can
be offered as to their faith in the
remedy.
