ROOT IN HARNESS.
The New Secretary of State Formally
 Begins His Duties.

Begins His Duties.
 Washington, Oct. 2.-Mr. Root today formally took up the important duties of the office of Secretary of State. He came early to the State Department, as did MT. Bacon, the new assistant Secretary and presented the latter to Mir. Looniis, the retiring Assistant Secretary. Naturally there was much for MT Loomis to discuss with MT. Root and MT. Bacon, as neither Of these gentlemen had kept close watch on the recent developments in inter national relations and 1t remained for the retiring officer to place them in possession of a multitude of facts con nected with important pending diplo- matic issues. It probably will require at least two days time to complete the turning over of this class of business and consequently Mir. Bacon has not yet taken the oath of office. in order not to displace MT. Loomis.
 Secretary Proctor was an early call CT at the Department. After his de- parture the various heads of divisions in the State Department were called into the Secretary's office and made the acquaintance of their new chief. M. Jusserand, the French Ambassador was another caller. coming to the de- partment by appointment about noon and remaining with the Secretary for half an hour. His principal business was the presentation of the grave is- sues which has arisen between France and Venezuela in connection with the Venezuelan government closing the in terior offices of the French Cable Com pany and in other ways interfering with the operations of that corpora tion, and particularly in refusing to hold relations with the French charge M Taigny at Caracas. It was stated that while this matter Is regarded as important, no real crisis has yet arisen and 1t is certain that nothing occurred during the interview between the Sec retary and Ambassador today that seemed to require any action on the part of this government. -s:

Large EnroIIment.

The public schools of the city opened today with one of the largest enroll ments of pupils in the history of the schools. The session starts off under most favorable circumstances and the coming scholastic year gives every indication of being a most successful one.
 The faculties of all of the schools are the best that can be secured and practically the same as last year. The enrolment of the white pupils was 595. of this number 422 were classed in the Dallas Academy and 173 at the Baker schools This shows an in crease over the number of pupils that entered these two schools on the first day of the session last year. The Clarke school, colored, also showed an increase in the number of pupils and is comfortably filled.

Advertiser Bureau,


 The c. E. Golson faiure at Burns vile on Saturday afternoon continued to be the all absorbing topic of con versation among the business men or the city today and there was much speculation as to what the outcome Of the failure would be. Many were of the opinion that fraudulent and de- ceptive means have been resorted to and that as the matter will come be- fore the bankruptcy court if there were any dishonest or unfair dealing the government will suitably punish the guilty ones. --....
 Yesterday the representatives of a number of firms here went to Burns vile to look into the state of affairs at the store. They all brought back most discouraging reports and the enormity of the failure grows and new transactions come to light. Yes terday and Saturday night the amount that the Selma merchants had been caught for was placed between $2O,O00 and $25.000. Today that amount has been augmented considerably and the figures are now placed at $32,000.
 The assets to which the creditors will have to look for their money 1t is stated will not reach as much as &, 900. Referee in Bankruptcy w. D. Campbell, before whom the Selma cred itors took bankruptcy proceedings, has as yet been unable to compne cor rect list of the amount that Golson caught the business men of this city for, and 1t will probably be several days before such a list will be made out. *s: .:-

The Chicago Chronicle regards ii
STANCE and ominous" that MIR Lawson
is to speak in the west on the invitation
of several western governors This is
not because Mr.. Lawson is not speaking
the truth in his disclosures of the
methods of high finance, but because
MIR. Lawson is not the man from whom
the truth should be heard
The Chronicle reises a question as
old as human testimony. Shall the
truth itself be believed if ii comes from
a questionable source, Unfortunately
for the Chronicle, its view has never
prevailed The world weighs the Wit
ness, takes into account his record his
motives and his bearings, but ALWAYS
hears his testimony
1t sometimes happens that the only
man who is in position to tell the truth
must turn states evidence When has
any court failed to treat with considera-
ton the witness who faithfully narratcs
the commission of crime in which he
was one of the participants. If the
court did not put a premium on such
testimony the real inside facts of {,
great deal of the worlds wickedness
would never be disclosed
Assuming that Mr.. Lawson is no bet
ter than the men he exposes, the mere
fact that he is exposing them entities
him TO hearing. He has been in posi-
ton, as nobody else, to know what they
were doing; he is one of the few men
whose wealth and physical courage are
equal to the undertaking: he has not
been successfully impeachcd nor dis
credited. In fact, the disclosures in the
Equitable have been more lurid than
his prospectus promised.
There is nothing Strange and omi-
nous" about the appearance of Law
son in the west. Lawson, in his way. is
doing what lot of other rcformers are
doing Why should the Chronicle com
mend Paul Morton and Grover Cleve

"The Webster City Freeman
Tribune believes "the publisher
who lies about the circulation
of his paper is no better than a
thief. He procures business
under false pretenses and
should be liable to prosecution
the same as any other skalawag

public by enacting a law max
ing it a crime for the publisher
