TEE COTT0N REPORT SCANDAL.

President RooseVet's determination 10 take
al possible steps TO prosecute and punish AS
sistant Statistician Holmes OF the Agricultural
Department and any other officials found i'm
pbcated with him in falsifying cotton statistics
or selling advance information TO cotton specu-
latcrs will be universally approved The i'm
precision was given in Secretary Wilson's first
report on the cotton ''leak" that Mr.. Holmes
had committed no act for which he could be
indicted by a grand jury. This turns out TO
have been n misrepresentation; for the United
States District Attorney for the District of
Columbia, whose opinion was asked in the mat
ter. mas since explained that he saw only part
OF the evidence against Holmes, and that he is
not prepared 10 say, after fuller study Of the
case, that indictment cannot be drawn
against the dismissed official The President is
determined 10 use every legal means 10 punish
the gross breach OF trust of which Holmes was
guilty, and the Solicitor General has been in
structed TO take the evidence in hand and insti-
tute, If possible, criminal prosecution.
In view Of the peculiar turpitude of Holiness
offence, IL is particularly desirable that he
should be judiclally disgraced and punished
Mere removal from office is no adequate pen
atty for the betrayal OF trust by which he
proited. He held confidential post under the
government, and was fully alive TO his official
obligations and responsibilities. He knew that
the departments credit would be shaken and
that vast business interests would be injuriousy
affected by the maRipulations he undertook
His wrongdoing was deliberate and wilful, and
admitted OF none OF the technical palliations-
ignorance, general custom" and forth
which 'grafters' In the government service are
prone 20 set up In their own defence. So fla
grant a violation Of duty deserves an exemplary
punishment. In the interest of public morals
and good government il is important that every
nerve be strained TO bring the culprit 10 JUSTICE
and we hope that the Attorney Generals Office
viii find q means Of bringing the frauds COM
mitted In the Statisticen's Bureau within the
operation Of the criminal statutes.
1t Eeens desirable also TO undertake q thor
oughgoing investigation OF the bureau whose
work has been blackened by last weeks discOv-
cries. The president OF the New-York Cotton
Exchange has just written a letter 10 President
Roosevelt urging such a course He asks, not
without reason, shat full inquiry be made into
-the methods which led 10 the corruption with
'the viow OF preventing The possibility of re-
-cErrence. and that the guilty ones may be ade-
"nuately punished" Tie Investigation which

LETTER TO THE
 SKAGWAY CHILDREN

To the Children Of Sksgway:-On the evening of Holy Innocents, Thursday, December 2S, at St. Savior's church at 7:3O D. m., will stand with huge branch es of light and beauty Christmas tree. This pretty emblem will have it's own yearly story to tell you, of the truth and childhood of your blessed Lord and Master, who became little child that you might grow from buds into great branches of the one Great Tree of Life Eternal.
 This tree also has to tell you of the greater blessings which are laid up in store for all those who love our Lord; blessings far greater than these little tokens of love which we have to offer you; and also has to teach you by the gifts which lie at Its roots that every one of you should offer yourselves as a gift to your heavenly Father and cling to His strong roots, which grow in the heavenly places and in even 8 more beautiful world than this.
 A merry Christmas and @ bright and joyous New Year to you and yours.

THE BREWERY COMBINE
Stark-Tuscarawas Brewing Co. Incor.
porated Monday.

Cleveland Press: The latest brew
Ing combination to be engineered by
Cleveland capital has just been put
through, the first step in the consol-
idation being taken Monday by in
corporation at Columbus. The new
combination will bring together all
the breweries of Stark and Tuscara-
was counties, which will be taken over
by the new company eventually at a
capitalization of about $2,500,000.
The new company as incorporated,
is called the Stark-Tuscarawas Brew
cries Co., and was nominally capital
lied at $4,000 Later this will be en-
ormously increased. The combine
takes in the breweries of Canton,
Massillon, New Philadelphia and Can
al Dover, five in number, as follows
The Canton Brewing Co., of Can
ton; the Stark Brewing Co., of Can
ton; the Shuster Brewing Co., of Mas
sillon; the New Philadelphia Brewing
Co., of New Philadelphia; and the Do
yer Brewing Co., of Canal Dover.
The incorporators Of the new COM
bine are all Cleveland men: Emil
Joseph; F. w. Gehring, e. w. Wate,
William Schaeffer and e. C. He'll.
There has been some talk of a COM
bination Of all the breweries of the
state, and it was at first believed that
this latest consolidation was a step
in that direction. 1t was said author
itatively Monday, however, that this is
not the intention in regard to the
Stark-Tuscarawas company. If there
is to be a state brewery combine, it
will be far in the future, so far as the
Stark-Tuscarawas company is con-
cerned.

Moore, about a quarter of a mile

to the burning building and breaking
in rescued the baby which was lying
in its crib. Word was sent to the city
for the fire department, but when the
fircmen reached the scene it was
found that the hose would not reach
from the nearest fire plug. The house
was burned to the ground.
Fahs came into the city and after
reaching Main street turned as though
to go back home. The police had been
notified and he was placed under ar
rest After his arrest he refused to
discuss his crime, the only thing he
would say was that his wife must have
set the building on fire.
Some time ago Mrs. Fahs sued him
for divorce, but they patched up their
differences and were reconciled. For
a time he did better, but recently he
has been drinking again.

Massillon, March 13.--Frenzied with
drink and infamed by passion against
his wife, David Fahs, teamster liv-
Ing on the Pigeon Run road just OUT
side of the city limits, set fire to his
home with the evident intention Of
burning up his little one-year-old babe
which had been left in the cradle. He
had first driven the mother out of the
home. He had come home drunk and
they had been quarreling After she
left he gathered up number of his
valuable papers, including insurance
policies, deeds, bank book, etc., and
piled them on the floor. He then
locked the door to the main part Of
the house and going into an addition
which had been built he set fire to it
and left, going toward Massillon
across the fields. ...
The wife ran to the home of Thomas
