A National Criminal Bureau.

A National Criminal Bureau.
A project looking to the dentinca.
ton OF criminals the country over and
also in Europe will come before con.
sress at the next session. A SO called;
national criminal bureau has been
maintained in Washington for several
years, and the government will be
asked to take 1t over and give 1t fed
eral support and recognition. At pres
ent the bureau is maintained BY the
membership feea Of cities represented
In the association.
The principal work Of the criminal
Identification bureau 10 the exchange
Of photographs and measurements Of
captured criminals. Under government
control the Information gathered would
be Furnished to the police authorities
Of this country and Europe, insuring 4
wide exchange Of both foreign and
domestic descriptive circulars. In re-
turn for this service local police au-
thorities will fle with the bureau iden-
~tifcation cards Of all criminals operat-
ing within their districts. The inter
national exchange Of data would sup.
ply information from abroad. and thus
the whole criminal world could be
canvassed readily. Argument is made
by the projectors Of the government
bureau that It would result in the
speedy Identification Of suspects.

Tho millionaire In Politics.

In primitive times the man who Rot
rich by Individual effort could justly
argue that his wealth was his to do
with as he liked. There was no organ
lied society to aid in creating wealth
nor in defending its possession. To
day all is changed, and opportunities
for gaining and holding wealth are
the result Of social organization. The
rich man owes a debt to society. His
money is a creator Of social power for
its possessor. Writing Of the American
millionaire in the current issue Of the
Atlantic, William Allen White says:
Rich men are but men: they love power
~ all men love 1t. and they use 1t as
men. Their money gives them power; 1t
opens a new sport to them when tho
mere getting of money pals. This diver
sion 10 the control Of government. Thus
far in playing that game the rich man
has not materially harmed the country.
He has played for pleasure rather than
for proft. Nevertheless. the presence Of Or
ganixed wealth In American politics, as an
estate there. must be understood clearly
and reckoned with as a fact by the voters.
There 10 Just 30 much power generated
by the surrender Of the Individual rights
and liberties OF the people TO the govern
ment. and when organized wealth takes
part of hat power the people who should
control this government with their votes
have that much less government to con-
troll.
The rich man will be slow in surren.
derlng either the wealth Or the peculiar
power which modern society makes
possible for him. But as an honest
steward Of both he can do much to
justify the possession Of them.

Its colors bright and glowing,
And other artists puts to blush
WITH 1ts tremendous showing.
The forest ia a crimson flare
OF red and yellow shading.
And in the meadows everywhere
Ia goldenrod parading. r.
The tree tops In the ancient wood
Their banners gay are flying
TIC celebrate in merry mood.
Although the year is dying.
And In the valley down below
And In the distant hollow
The yellow and the purple glow
Far as the eye can follow.

That life with money is q bore.
But they are striving for their share,

A. Word About Penny wheedlers.

A. Word About Penny Wheedlers.
An organized effort has been made
in Rapid CITY this week by the
churches and benevolent societies to
raise funds for the benefit Of the Chill
dren's Home, at Sioux Falls, which de-
ponds entirely upon public charity for
its airport. A union service, partici-
pated ID by all the local churches, was
held last Sunday night. After ad.
dresses by different pastors and a
member Of the Home board, the
muni6cent sum Of 1910 was o N
trtbuted by the congregation, "The
matter" gently states u Journal
friends, *was brought before the public
school. children, and through their
offerings the very liberal sum Of sl9
wa raised." That all the churches
IN the city failed to contribute q sum
equal to what our school children
raised looks ~ though u church
people we're either lacking in the
courage Of their convictions, or their
financial condition must be deplor-
abas one. However that matters
little. II Is all the same to the home
less waifs ct any rate. The fact that
the school children we're coaxed into
contributing 70 the fund is the matter
on which we desire TO shed 8 little
light,
II there is one American institution
that 10 supposed to be and should be
FREQ from everything that tends to
bring home TO . child the fact that
other children are better of in this
world's goods, 1t is our public school,.
II there Is . place where absolute
equality Of persons should be the first
rule and law. 1t 10 the public echool
room. A nickle here and q dime there
looks very small to the average enthu-
siast who wants to raise funds for
some charity or other. and yet there
are many children who are utterly
unab'e to pay any sum, and must suffer
what 10 to them disgrace because of
this fact.
The school child is common prey for
the average penny beggar, and there
are logical reasons for athis. Children
are usually irresponsible persons and
their svmpathies are easy to work
upon. In the school room the labor Of
reaching . large number Of persons is
reduced % . minimum Of physical
sfiort-a most crafty Ing provision.
i What itgmay mean to some child's
paEents 10 provide the amount given,
= amatter Of the most sublime uncon-
cern 70 the penny wheedler. A mere
ton cent piece that some child CON
tributes may mean another straw to y
load thai. - already bearing down the
shoulders thst bear II. viii any we'll
informed person dare deny that there
are many families In Rapid City who
scrape and deny themselves that their
children may be on an equal footing
with other children? Poor indeed in
American pride Z the few who will
not do 20. Pride! That is the magic
word that makes the school room q
favorite roasting place for the psnny
wheedler, and full we'll he knows It.
Children are sent 70 school 70 be
30 taught useful knowledge and any
ons Who attempts 70 divert their time
o sshosts In the slightest degres I, ON
this purpose, commits : wrong against
the principal and spirit Of the institu-
tion. There u : place and . time for

RUBBER WEED At DURANGO,
Big Prospects Of Southwestern Colo.
RADIO City.

Denver.-Out of the formerly useless
and unsightly rabbit weed. or brush,
which has been used for years as
chewing gum by plainsmen and In
dians. the city of Durango has pro-
duced an excellent quality of rubber.
In the manufacture of rubber it is be-
lieved that the district about Durango
has discovered new industry which
will result in wealth for all concerned.
w. r. Armstrong, the energetic sec
retary of the Durango Board of Trade.
is in Denver to attend the meeting of
the Colorado State Commercial Asso-
citation. says the Republican. He tells
prosperity stories about the Durango
country which put crimp in any that
have been heard for some time. Fur
| thermore, to add to the realistic nature
of his stories, he produces the goods.
He displays rubber products second to
none, which have been manufactured
there, and brought with him alfalfa
measuring seven feet three inches
raised by the dry farming process.
Durango took first prize on wheat.
rye, oats, barley and sugar beets at the
st. Louis Exposition, he said. Il
brought with me the smallest and larg-
est potatoes | could find in fifteen
acre lot. The smallest weighs three
pounds one ounce and the largest eight
pounds and fraction of an ounce, also
samples of oats seven feet tall, which
! run ll5 bushels to the acre"
Not cOntented with bringing news
of these record-breaking products and
then bringing the products themselves,
| Mr.. Armstrong has the temerity to say
| that within five years Durango will be
the third largest city in the state. He
| says its street car system is better than
| Denver's and that the building boom
| there is enormous.
Michigan capitalists are back of the
| rubber factory at Durango, which is
now being completed. Some thirty ma
chimes are being installed. These will
use twenty-six tons of rabbit brush per
day. 1t will pay the farmers 81 400 to
$1,000 per day for their product. and it
Is said that the supply will never come
up with the demand. E. c. Dunbar of
Detroit and Stuart Baker of Grand
N"plus are III charge ol tne new ldc-
| tory. and they are backed by seven or
! eight Michigan capitalists.
"The rubber weed is TO be cult
vated,' said Mr.. Armstrong, "and gov
ernment experts are interested in n
G4O-acre experimental tract near Du-
range. The use of the weed was first
discovered by Myron G. Brownell of
Denver. whose attention was called to
1t by Mexican who wanted to manu-
facture chewing gum from it. The rub
| Der attributes were discovered by
analysis and experimental work has
increased the per cent of rubber in it.

Kind of Canal Not Decided.

Washington.-The following has
been issued by the isthmian canal
commission: in regard to the pub
lished rumors to the effect that the
majority of the members of the con-
sulting board of engineers have de-
cioed in favor of a lock canal at Pan
ANA, General Davis, chairman Of the
board, said to-day:
$50 far as | am aware, neither the
board nor any individual member of it
has expressed any opinion as to the
type of canal that is favored. The
board is not in possession of all the
facts bearing upon the question OF
type. 1t returns to this city entirely
free from any prejudice Or bias re-
specting that type so far as known to
me. The board will be in continuous
session either as board or in sepa-
rate committees until they reach a con
clusion, which will be arrived at some
time in the month of November, prob
ably near the close. Two committees
have been appointed to study the two
types of canal-sea level and lock-
and these committees are endeavorins
to develop the best canal of each type
When the work shall have been COM
pleted the whole board will be ready to
decide which type they prefer"
