A LlGHT PUNISHMENT.

At the last term of the circuit court
for Buchanan county E. K. Boyd, cOun-
ty treasurer Of that county, was tried
for failing to report properly a list Of
voters in 1904 who had paid their poll
taxes within the time prescribed by law.
Boyd failed to place about three hun
bred of the voters of Buchanan on the
list which he had certified to the clerk,
though they had paid their taxes for
1903 six months prior to the election, as
required by the Constitution. The &C
cused plead that the failure to perform
his duty had been occasioned by his
misrepresentation of the requirements of
the Constitution. He was defended by
E. H. Witten, of Grundy, Judge Ayers,
of Russell, and R. R. Henry, of Taze-
well. The prosecution was conducted
by Henry A. Routh, of Russell, and S.
M. B. Coulling, of Tazewell.
By the dereliction of the county treas
urer three hundred of the good citizens
of Buchanan were unable to vote at the
election last Fall. The wrong done
them by the ignorant and stubborn or
corrupt treasurer was very great; but
the jury was disposed to believe his
plea, that the crime was ignorantly COM
mitted, and fined him the small sum of
fifty dollars. This was very light pun
ishment for an offense so grave. The
case in question shows what opportuni-
ties the new suffrage laws afford for
corrupt and ignorant treasurers to
deprive honest men of their votes. 1t Is
well that the citizens of Buchanan
county insisted upon the prosecution of
Boyd. 1t will, perhaps, serve to re-
strain other treasurers and election Off
GERS from committing fraudulent acts.
That such acts will occur frequently in
the future, unless the courts prevent
them, is almost certain. The punish
ment, fifty dollars fine, will not deter,
only the prospect of a heavier pun
will prevent such crimes,

Saving the Birds.
York Dispatch.

York Dispatch.
A society of young men at Berlin has
adopted an extraordinary plan of cam
paign to prevent women from wearing
birds in their hats. Warning is given
them in pamphlet that if they persist
in this vain and wicked fashion they
will be stopped in the streets by mem
bers of the society and asked to remove
the birds. If they refuse the request
the enthusiastic crusaders will perform
the office for them, using such force as
may be necessary, and fines for this
lawlessness will be cheerfully paid by
the society.
Evidently there is much earnestness
and sincerity in the scheme, but it is
likely to arouse more sympathy for the
women than for the birds, and the re-
formers may pay for their acts with
broken heads. Nevertheless, a good
cause is not necessarily spoiled by bad
methods, and it is encouraging to note
how widespread the movement is for
the preservation of the birds.
In this country it has made Roadway
against great odds, and is growing
steadily in favor. A relentless slaugh-
ter that has resulted almost in the ex-
termination of certain species finds few,
if any, defenders now. Women who
have bought aigrettes innocently
enough have discarded them on learning
that they are the symbol of a sordid
and cruel commercialism. Others less
sensitive will be taught in time that
birds killed to adorn their mysterious
headgear are generally considered to be
the sign of a foolish pride and an un-
feeling nature.

OklahOma's New Statehood Boom.

Philadelphia Tress
President Roosevelt gave Oklahoma
statehood an unmistakable boom by the
statement in his speeches predicting its
early admission with Indian Territory
as a State. 1t is asserted that Senator
Beveridge has a program for getting
through statehood bill for those two
Territories as a single State early next
Winter. This may express his hope,
but programs cannot be carried through
on schedule time in the Senate. There
is a preponderating majority in and out
of Congress for the admission Of Okla
homa and Indian Territory as State.
No one objects to this proposition on its
merits. 1t is the desire to make the
strong claims of Oklahoma carry with
them the weak claims Of Arizona and
New Mexico that has kept Oklahoma
out in the cold and debars its people
from their full rights as American citi-
zens.
The admission of States in pairs and
even in sets of three and four has not
been uncommon in our history. A State
that comes in alone has been usually
fully prepared for the boon Of state
hood. Group admissions always bring
in one or more prematurely, and they
continue weak and backward members
of the sisterhood of States for many
years. 1t is bad practice which can
not in the nature of things be much
longer kept up.
If there is political division ripe for
statehood in the concurring opinion Of
all, that applicant should be admitted on
its own merits, and other Territories
left to stand and fall on their merits, if
they have any. 1t was a gross inJus-
tice to Oklahoma and Indian Territory
to couple their fate with the Southwest
ern arid Territories. We trust that 1t
is true that they are to be entirely di-
vorced hereafter, and that Oklahoma S
prospects will no longer be blighted by
an unnatural union.

The yellow PERIL"
London Times.

London Times
For at least half century European
nations, with England as the pioneer,
have been telling Oriental nations that
their only hope of salvation lies in adop-
ting western habits of thought and wes-
tern civilization. In order to enforce
the lesson Europe has invaded their ter
ritories, slain their people, annexed
their revenues and taken possession of
their soil. One of these Oriental ma
tons has taken the advice of Europe.
1t has mastered the ways of western
civilization with extraordinary COM
pleteness, thus showing at once that it
is very different from other yellow
races, and that it is anxious to profit by
our secular efforts for its regeneration.
Yet, as soon as it accepts our advice,
and complies with our cherished notions
of progressiveness and intelligence,
Europe turns round and denounces it as
a menace to peace and civilization. For
a thousand years that nation has en-
loved a civilization of its own, which
has produced physical and moral edu-
cation now triumphantly enduring the
severest tests that can be applied. 1t
meddled with nobody, and it asked of
the world nothing but to be let alone.
Europe would not leave it alone, and it
was wise enough to learn from what
went on in its vicinity that European in
reference would go embarrassing in pro-
portion to its possession of thing covet-
able. Now that it can protect itself by
European methods against the aggress-
ion of European nation, it is declared
to be the natural enemy of all other
European nations, which have been liv-
ing in fear of its opponent. How wise,
how reasonable, how disinterested, and
entirely noble must Europe appear in
that nations eyes!

Stop Docking Horses Tails.
Wheeling Register.

Wheeling Register.
The New York Legislature is in fair
way to pass bill prohibiting the dock
ing Of horses tails under heavy pen
alties of fine or Imprisonment and re-
quiring the registering within certain
time of all horses who have already
suffered the docking process.
This is a law that should be adopted
in every State in the Union where fash
ion has introduced this cruel custom as
necessary to the "swell turnout" 1t
were well for the law to step in and for
once put the ban on the fashion.
How would the man with the dock
tailed horse like to have his hands tied
behind him in fly and mosquito time and
to be harnessed up without the means
of keeping off his insect torturers?
That is the predicament of the poor
beast deprived of its only means of pro-
tecting its TANKS from the vicious in
sects that swarm in the stable and at
tack it constantly everywhere. 1t is
simply torture for the locked horse.
What more beautiful part Of the ami
NAL to the artist and true lover of the
horse than his flowing tail. Give him
the full use of it in summertime, the
most trying season for the beast of
burden, when it is indispensable to his
comfort.

CIRCULATING" Not fixing"
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press
The railroad men, President Samuel
Spencer and President David Wilcox,
who spoke at the Pittsburg Traffic Club,
were right when they declared that re-
bates were now few and already pro-
hibited by law, with special tribunal
to enforce the law.
But they were wrong when they de-
clared, as did Mr.. Wilcox, that "what
is sought now is the power to fix exact
ly what the railroad properties shall be
permitted to earn" or "that the earn
ing power of property shall be regulat-
ed by order of political body, having
no responsibility for the restltsOf opera
ton"
No one, as far as we ever heard, pro-
poses this. In the very same sentence
Mr.. Wilcox admits that rates must be
reasonable. No one asks more.
Who can decide this? Railroad men?
Not at all. A Judicial proceeding. ms
is all that is asked and this is already
established by law.
The only real issue is whether this
proceeding shall be the cumbrous pro-
cess of the courts or a more summary
proceeding by an Interstate Commits
sion. Such a commission would elk
rates" No one proposes that. 1t
would not draw tariff rate sheets. 1t
would only pass on rates that are
brought before it as unreasonable. This
is not to elk rates." it is to regulate
unreasonable rates and to do this
promptly and efficiently.
This must come in some shape. Moth
ing can prevent it. Meanwhile, Mr.
Spencer urged water lines, express
companies, palace and private cars,
refrigerator cars, telegraph and tele-
phone lines should be brought under
control of the Interstate Commerce
Commission
In nothing has Congress been more
negligent than in failing to do this.

The Desplsed Appendix.
Constitution.

At last a good word has been said for
the ridiculed and despised appendix. In
stead of being entirely superhuous, the
discovery has been made that in the
treatment of certain diseases the appen-
dix may be utilized to great advantage.
The experiments of Major Darden, of
the medical corps of the army, have
demonstrated that by using the appen-
dix as canal medicines essential to the
cure of the dreaded tropical dysentery
can be applied to the diseased organs
and complete cure effected.
This discovery may prove one of the
greatest value. The menace of dysen-
terry hangs over the head of every white
man undertaking residence in tropical
countries. The usual methods of treat
ment have proved decidedly unsatisfac-
tory, to say the least; thousand of val
liable lives have been sacrificed to this
dread disease; an improved method of
treatment is of interest to the whole
world-there can be no question about
that.

Theories and Facts.
Montgomery Advertiser.

Montgomery Advertiser.
A singular condition has developed in
Philadelphia, and one which apparently
discredits some of the established germ
theories in connection with disease. We
say apparently" because there may
be some explanation of the facts as
stated, but as it stands now it is per-
picking, to say the least.
Two facts in connection with typhoid
fever seem to have been thoroughly es-
tablished in the opinion of medical men.
One is that it is a germ disease, and
another that foul or impure water is one
of its sources, and is one of the readiest
medium for its transmission. These
facts would indicate that one of the
most reliable methods of preventing or
escaping the disease is to boil or filter
the water so as to destroy or remove
the fever germs and thus prevent them
from entering the human system. If
typhoid is germ disease, and if the
germs breed and flourish in polluted
water the natural inference is that
drinking such water will cause attacks
Of the fever.
We say this is the natural and logical
inference, yet it seems discredited by
the facts in Philadelphia. Typhoid is
very prevalent and fatal in that city and
the papers call attention to "the fact
that the fever is more prevalent in the
northeastern section of the city, where
the filtered water is used, than in the
sections where the water is taken from
the nasty Schuylkill without filtering is
the most serious phase Of the situation. "

During the twelve years from 1890 to
1902 the total single-track mileage for
street and electric railway increased
from 1923 to 22,577. This increase was
due partly to the establishment of new

sion of the lines already existing. The
mileage of the electric lines increased
from 1862 to q, 907, while there was a
decrease for the lines operated by other
