Councilman Bull has tax

Councilman Bull has taken oc-
casion to score some Of the depart
ments of the city for lack of disci-
pine. Mr.. Kaufman as chief of
the fire department gets back at
Mr.. Bull and accuses him of impe-
cuniOusness. Perhaps Mr.. Bull is a
little severe in his criticism, but GER
tainly Mr. Kaufman is The city

is Mr.. Bulls duty as well as any

where through the foresight of the
councilman in question the city was

the backbone to refuse to be "held
up" and is performing his thankless
duties to the best of his judgment.

honorary title. One in every 200 is
an ecclesiast and one in every 500 a

There is no caterer to the public
who is more generally criticised by
his patrons than the editor truly
says the Inland Printer. He is a
poor reader who is unable to improve
publication so that its best admir-
ers wouldn't recognize 1t. A daily
paper anxious to please asked its
readers for suggestions. and among
those 1t received was one to have
the columns perforated so that por-
tions which 1t might be desired to
keep could be easily detached.
This was evidently from the keeper
of scrap book. while there can be
no installing the sex of the cor
respondent who wanted the paper
perfumed. Another. with an evid-
ent penchant for the revolutionary,
thought white letters on black
ground would be great improve
ment."

ROUGH ON CONGRESSlfEN.

The man who is elected to the Fed
eral House of Representatives usually
goes to Washington expecting TO be as
big a man there. as he is at home. He
wakes up to find that a new member
of the House in Washington is a SMALL
potato, and has little influence until
he demonstrates that he is a big man.
and under present rules he must be
almost a genius to gain power in a
few years. But, while the House mem
Der is not as big a man in Washing
ton as he is at home, the Lieutenant
Governor of Illinois. goes too far
when he said: "A Congressman in
Washington is like boy with a torn
shirt and half a pair of suspenders
looking through a small knot-hole at
g ball game.
Under the rules of the House, a
member has very little chance to do
anything, but he is.not wholly like a
boy with a torn shirt and half a pair
of suspenders looking through small
knot-hole at a ball game"

TEXAS COTTON REDUCTION.

The Galveston News has made
thorough and careful cotton report for
Texas. Indian Territory and Oklaho-
ma. Its reports indicate decrease in
acreage in Texas of 1867 per cent;
Indian Territory S,69 per cent, and
Oklahoma 1851 per cent. Texas and
these two territories produced in 1904
a cotton crop of 1899, $50 bales.
Summarized, the reports of the Gal
weston News show that the acreage is
not yet definitely determinable, for
while the picking of cotton will begin
within the month in Duval county
planting is still in progress in many
of the counties of the northern half
of Texas, and even as far south as
Montgomery county, while on the 9TH
er hand. weather conditions are such
as 10 render it uncertain whether the
late-planted cotton will terminate.
and. furthermore. the reports indicate
that many crops are being abandoned
because of grass and weeds. the scar
city and high price of labor, and. in
some instances, the ravages of crop
pests ''.ss
These figures differ very widely
from the estimate of the Department
of Agriculture.

Cutting stills and the Constitution.

To the Editor: The Constitution of
the United States, Amendment v.
contains these words Nor shall
any person be deprived of life. liberty
or property without due process of
,aw"
Both Judge Story and Judge Cooley
our most eminent commentators on
the Constitution agree that the words.
Due Process of Law" means trial
before a competent court. Judge
Story thinks a trial by jury of his
peers is meant. that is to say, No man
shall be Deprived of life. liberty or
property without a trial.
The Internal Revenue law of the
United States gives the Revenue Off
Ger authority to cut q still discovered
i'm the act Of illicit distillers. This
is plainly in violation of the Consti-
tuition as we'll as of agna Charter
Governor Scales was a member of
Congress when this clause was put in
the Revenue Act. He told me that
it's unconstitutionality was freely dis
cussed and generally admitted at the
time but it was thought impossible to
enforce the revenue act without it,
The legal adviser of the New York
World wrote me there could be no
doubt Oe it.
Senator Edmunds, in his dav recog-
nized as the highest constitutional au-
thority in the Senate, expressed a sim
liar opinion. We are told that the
Legislature of North Carolina. at its
recent session, passed an act au-
thOriZing sheriffs to cut stille without
a trial. II so, wheae were the ninety
three lawyer members of that body?
Were they like the disciples at the
garden of Gethsamance --
Can the Legislature constitutionally
authorize q sheriff to execute a man
without trial? Can it authorize him
to imprison a man without a trial?
Can it authorize him to cut down an
orchard without q trial?
Governor Glenn. Senator Simmons
and Senator Oyerman occupy the three
highest positions. in point of honor,
Carolina. I call upon them to throw
their personal and official influence in
favor of a better regard for constitu-
tions.
If Constitutional liberty is to sur
yive in America SalVanOn must come
from the South. Our Northern breth-
rem in their eager race for wealth and
their too rapid importation of foreign
ers are already face to face with the
grave problems of concentrated
wealth on one side, and socialism on
the other. Take Rockefeller as a
type of concentrated wealth and the
assassin of President Mckinley as
the types of socialism and what chance
would there be for good government
i'm the success of either? Take the
Equitable life at one end and the
Chicago strikers at the other and
where is good government.
