Trying Senators in the Senate

Trying Senators in the Senate.
Senator Bailey, who lis an excellent
hand at Interpreting the federal con-
stitution, comes forward with the sug-
gestion that the members of the senate
accused of violations Of the law should
be tried by the senate even tho they
are also tried by the courts. He makes
the point that the senate is the sole
Judge Of the qualifications Of it's mem
bers. No court can sentence senator
to expulsion. tho it can do what
amounts to the same thing, give him
a sentence which automatically works
forfeiture Of his office. Yet this does
not cover the whole ground, since the
courts might acquit a senator on evil
denee which would satisfy the mem
ber's colleagues that he should be ex-
PEELED. Likewise he might escape trial
in a court entirely, while he could not
escape answering the senate.
The senate should be as jealous of
the standing of it's members as iuries
and courts. It should not, in the esti-
nation Of Mr.. Bailey, sit by and see
its rolls purified by other agencies
taking no interest in the matter itself
The point may be raised against
Senator Bailey's contention that it
does not add anything practically to
the protection Of the honest members OF
the senate. The courts are, on tile
whole. even with the unlimited oppor.
tunity for appeal, more expeditions il

tion whose profits are withdrawn to the
treasury of the terminal company far
away. Under these circumstances the
smaller towns do not care what is done
to the saloon by the legislature.
But on the other hand the concentra-
ton of the saloon. business in few
hands which hold immense sums OF
money is bringing the legislature and
the state officials more under the lnt1u-
ence Of the liquor interest.
The problem Of what to do with the
saloon is complicated by the present
system Of ownership. It began with
the great cities where the breweries
had the saloons under their observa-
ton. They began some years ago tax
ing out licenses for their own places
and the system has been extended until
today in the city of Minneapolis the
breweries are the virtual owners OF sc
per cent of the drinking places. They
have unnecessarily increased the num-
Der. The city Of Los Angeles has been
going thru the same process. 1t has
200 saloons, Of which the breweries OWL
ITO. The citizens are confident that
number is too great and that the null
tiplicity of saloons with the attendant
necessity of making sales is direct in
cen'tive to abuses Of the selling priv
lege. The city is discussing seriously
a trial Of the Gothenburg system
whereby the license privileges will b.
sold to a company under certain restric
tions. 1t is estimated that the numbe:
of saloons in Los Angeles can be re
| duced from 200 to 70 and the gaudy
| attractiveness of the places reduced
The saloon business is overdone in Min
| neapoljs as atrociously as in Los An
| peles.

Railroads
MILLIONS ON WHEELS
RAILROADS SPENT HUGE SUMS
FOR BOILING STOCK IN THE
CURRENT YEAR.

Total new equipment and new power
bought by the railroads in 1905 cost
$206, 100000, according to the Railroad
Gazette.
For freight cars the roads spent $165,
5000, for passenger cars $17,S57 900
and for locomotives $76,S74,000. A to-
tai of 10000 cars were built in this
country and Canada; 165,455 were fo1
freight service. OF the total, $500
were for export. The output is more
than double that of last year.
Official returns from all the loco
motive builders in the United States
and Canada show that 5,49l new loco
motives were built in 1905, as agains-
3,441 in 1904. Like the car total, this
does not include locomotives built by
railroads in their own shops, nor does
it include orders given for repairs o.
rebuilding. Of the total number of 10
comotives reported built 40 were cleo
trio locomotives, as against 95 electric
locomotives for last year. Of the tota
number, 5S3 were for export and 1896
for domestic use, including 1T com
pound locomotives

We Wear the Diamonds.

AS we come to make up the figures
on crop production, industrial output,
transportation earnings, dividend pay
ments and bank clearings for the year
we do not need to be told that this is
an era of remarkable prosperity in
America, but probably no more inter-
esting evidence of the ability of the
American people to buy what they
want is to be found than the govern
ment reports on the importations of
diamonds and other precious stones
during the present calendar year. l.
The bureau Of statistics tells us that
more than $36,0OO,O00, wofth Of dia-
monds and other precious stones have
been imported to this country since the
LIST Of January, 1905. This is high
water mark in this trade, the largest
importation heretofore having been
twentyeight and a half millions in
1908. The growth of this trade has
been remarkable. Twenty years ago it
amounted to approximately ten millions
of dollars. In the period from 1888
to, 1892, which was one of. great pros
perity, the totals reached about twelve
million dollars per annum. Then came
the period Of depression and people
began to economic on their diamonds
the importation dropping as low as five
millions in 1896. Two years later
when times had considerably improved
the total had risen to nearly ten mil
lions. In 1899 it was sixteen and &
half millions and has been advancing
almost without backward step unit
now it is fully $36,000,000.
Another interesting feature of thu
diamond trade is that the industry Of
diamond cutting is showing remark
able growth. Ten years ago this in
dustry could hardly be said to exist
In 1896 the value of uncut diamond
imported into the United States wa
less than $4,000. Within five years i
has risen to six and half millions AM
during 1905 will exceed ten millions
| whereas in 1895 there were PRACTICAL.
no uncut diamonds imported. Durin,
aggregate $6O,O00,000 and of cut Ola
monds about $lOo,Oo0,ooo, suggesting
that the business of cutting diamond
for the American trade is likely to b
transferred very soon from such center
of the industry as Amsterdam an
Paris to the United States.
The United States is the largest die
mond-importing country in the worl
when importation for permanent OWL
ership is considered. A writer in tn
Encyclopedia Americana estimates tn
), value Of all diamonds known, to exis
in the world today at one billion do
lars and concludes that about five hui
dred million dollars worth, or hal
the entire valuation, are owned in til
United States. There is certainl
something very suggestive in thes
facts as to the wealth-producing powe
of this country .."-.. Fl

way extension under construction from
Chamberlain to Rapid City, and the
part of the old Sioux Indian reserva-
ton and has been open to settlement
for some time, but has been held back,
by the big cattlemen and lack Of rail-
way facilities. The new railway has
opened up very fine farming country
and an immensei immigration is going
into that county.
It is called the great White river
valley. The soil is rich, and what little
farming has been done shows good re-
suits. Wheat from eighteen to twenty
four bushels; oats sixty to seventy five
bushels; corn thirty to forty bushels
and barley and speltz good crop. Corn
was selling at 80 cents and wheat "a
cents. In grasses they have the rich
alfalfa with promising results. Lands
are on the jump. selling from $40 to
$18, according to improvements and To-
cation
"On Nov. 9 the Chicago, Milwau.
kee & ST. Paul Railway opened up for
ty-five miles, west of Chamberlain, with
stations all along the line, and the pres
ent end of track is at Presho. The
grading is progressing fifty miles west.
"Presho is wonder. Three weeks
ago it had one house. counted forty
five new business houses, one and two
stories, in course of construction, and
it seemed that every man who could
drive nail was hard at it from early
morn till dewy eve: Everybody was
busy and happy. The railway compa-
ny was forced to stop trains over night
at Chamberlain for lack of eating and
| sleeping accommodations at Presho.
| "Sixty miles west, homesteads are
still available. The county abounds in
artesian wells. The electric light plant
| and a mill also, at Chamberlain, are
| being operated wholly with arteslan
| water power, seventy horsepower being
developed. J

Presho that l never saw in a frontier

nor gambling house in sight. On in
quiry [ found that South Dakota has
a very strict law that saloon can
not be located within five miles of q
grading camp, nor in any town unit

The Hu1nmel Case.

The Hummel case reads like novel.
Indeed, there are few novels nowadays
which have the sustained interest or
the intrieacies Of plot shown in the
Dodge Morse divorce.
A scion of a rich house wanted the
wife of a poor man. He could not,
like David, put him in the forefront OF
the battle, but he could, and did, reach
him with money and bought his rights
in the woman, who was granted di-
vorce. But the scion Of wealth did not
make a family hit with his new marriage.
Awealthier uncle wanted it broken, and
this is where Hummel came in. He
found the husband and bribed him to
swear that he had never been served
with a summons in his wife's divorce
suit. Of course, if the law had not
been complied with, the husband Dodge
had never been divorced, and the sub
sequent marriage Of his wife with
Morse was null and void. All Morse
need do was to sue for divorce himself
on the ground that at the time Of her
pretended marriage to him his wife had
husband from whom she had not been
legally freed. This was the uncle Is
plan. When the Dodge divorce was
reopened in court, of course, it would
not do to have Dodge there to be ques
toned and cornered.. Dodge was being
sought high and low by the friends Of
| the wife. Whenever his whereabouts

Afraid or Ashamed.

John Sharp Williams philippe on
the floor in which he said the country
was tirG of the republicans and afraid
of the democrats did not exactly ex-
press the situation. The country is in
the position Of the bishop who was
writhing in agony after having glutted
himself with mince pie. Anxious friends
asked him if he was afraid to die. The
bishop said he was not afraid, but
under the circumstances he was
ashamed to die.
The country is not so much afraid to
be ruled by the democratic party as
it would be ashamed Of the fact. 1t
has watched democracy with consider
able curious interest since it went off
the hooks in 1896 and had to be put in
straight jacket by it's own friends
and relatives. No signs Of a permanent
amendment have appeared. The plat
form of 1900 repeated the folly Of its
predecessor on the money question. The
convention Of 1904 could think of moth
ing more statesmanlike than silence or
the whole subject until the man nomi
mated for the presidency notified the
managers of the convention that he
would not accept the nomination unless
it was understood that he was straight
on the money question. ,

leadership of Mr.. Williams, has signal.

there is anything stirring in the demo
cratic head but bees. Under all the cir
cumstances Mr.. Williams should all
leave to correct his speech before put
ting it in the record. For "afraid'' h
should substitute "ashamed.
