Police Captain Spillane waxed so wroth
Of speech and demeanor in the court Of
Judge Fritz as to create something of q
sensation. His anger was provoked by
intimation to the effect that malicious ru-
NOR assailed his official probity.
Charles Hamilton, keeper of a Third
street cigar store, and about q dozen
young men, were arrested and accused Of
playing craps. but the patrolman failed
to produce evidence sufficient to warrant
their conviction. The Judge, in dismiss
ing the cases. remarked that he had no
doubt Of the defendants guilt, and hoped
the police would continue raiding the al
legged clubroom in Mr.. Hamilton's store
and arresting its inmates until gambling
therein would be considered too haz-
ardous to be profitable. Twas then Cap

Nobody Shall have reason to say 1 am,
getting $500 a month, or a single cent. for
overlooking breaches Of the law"
And the veteran officer glared at Mr..
Hamilton with an expression which
that gentleman plainly did not relish.
The Judge fastened to assure Cap
tain Spiliane that his integrity was not
questioned by any one connectSd with
the court, and the captain bowed ac-
knowledgnent of the assurance. In
quiry developed the information that
some person or persons affected by the
raid Of the Hamilton premises had told

 This is a serious matter to the hus- band or father who is solicitous for the future of his dear ones Often the heart trouble is caused by an unex- pected thing and can be corrected if man in Colorado writes:
 q was a great coffee drinker for many years, and was not aware of the injurious effects of the habit till I be- came a practical invalid, suffering from heart trouble, indigestion and nervous ness to an extent that made me wretchedly miserable myself and O nuisance to those who witnessed my sufferings.

Chicago Chronicle, Rep.
 Governor Folks reply to the people who petitioned him to s..get o6 the Id Is statement of a fundamental truth.
 He says that he has no more right to suspend the operation of the Sunday laws than he would have to nullify. the statutes against larceny or homicide;
 That is to say. the Governor of Mis- souri is an executive officer. He Is tn- vested with neither legislative nor 5u- dicial powers. He can not make laws nor can he pass upon their constitution ality. His business is to enforce them This Is so obvious that 1t ought to be apparent to everybody. The trouble Is that in Missouri as in most other States the executive has hitherto as- stunned discretionary powers in the en- forcement of the law and through hab- 1t and precedent the usurpation has come to be regarded as proper.
 If the people of Missouri or of any other State do not like a law theii remedy is to elect a Legislature that will repeal 1t. The wrong way to deal
 with the matter Is to elect a Governor sworn to enforce the law and then in' sist that he shall not enforce 1t. Governor Folk has assumed an atti. tude that is logical, ,self-respecting and law abiding. The hints that he will
 suffer politically by. his uncompromls.
 ing stand are likely to inspire hin with a stronger resolve to maintain it He would leopard his self-respect bS | doing anything else.

Mistakes in Panama.

 If is not an edifying story altogether that Chairman Shonts of the Canal Commission brings back from Panama. He went down there a few weeks ago to install Engineer Stevens, who was appointed to succeed Engineer Wal lace. who was summarily discharged with a lecture, because he resigned. Taft had supposed that Wallace was to stay down there indefinitely. Wallace spent a few weeks on the works after operations began-had his family down there, but became dissatisfied and asked permission to come home. He promised readiness to explain when he reached here, instead of giving away the unsat- isfactory situation in advance. Every thing was at odds and ends, serious epidemic had appeared among the workmen. and much more as disheart- ening. But Taft did not wish to bear any explanations, and Roosevelt deliv- cred a diatribe upon "deserters" Now Shonts has returned. He says serious mistakes were made in the effort to gratify the zeal of the Washington au- thorities to have the dirt fly" Ac- cording to his testimony. insufficient, If any, preparations were made for caring for the employees because of lack of housing. epidemics got foothold: sup plies for living became exhausted, be- fore which time. prices were so ad- vanced that the laborers were not earning enough to support themselves Farther the laborers were not prompt ly paid; the business of the railroad became so congested that there was no end of confusion and difficulty.

A professional man who owns proper ty at the east end of Alabama Street complained yesterday that the Coun- cirs Committee on Franchises and Privileges had considered awarding a franchise on that street to the Mont gomery Street Railway without giving the property owners an opportunity to be heard.
 Tt is proposed" he said. by the Street Railway Company to build line from the corner of Hull and Alabama Streets by way of Alabama Street to Union Street and thereby connect this line with a thickly populated negro settlement of the city. This Is one objection to the proposed line. Again. we are opposed to building a car line by the Decatur Street school house and thereby endangering the lives of the pupils. Just at the school house the tracks would descend a steep hill and this would increase the danger to school children.
 T understand that the committee has met and agreed to make a favorable report on the ordinance granting the franchise. Neither myself nor my neighbors have been apprised of a meet ing of the committee and it seems to me that common justice would demand that the Aldermen should sound the sen- timent of property owners on the street before taking final action on a matter that would undoubtedly damage their interests"

THE kxrRA SESSION.

~~~~~---~"
 It has been known for some time that Governor Jelks was considering the question of calling the Legislature to- gether in extra session. Judging from his remarks in a speech at Blount Springs last Wednesday the session will be called and probably between this date and Christmas--possibly early in November.
 There are many important matters which call for legislative action. and we feel quite sure that the Governors ac- ton will be generally approved. The Constitution requires the Governor to state specifically the matters to be con- sidsred. and general Legislation. there fore. will not be entered upon.
 The financial affairs of the State are in such fine condition as to make 1t advisable to dispose of a part of the money that will remain after meeting all of the States expenses. This can be done in either of two ways--utilize 1t in taking up State bonds which be- come due in January next. or appropri- ate 1t for schools. Either way will De satisfactory to the people of the State.
 Governor Jelks has given close and personal attention to the duties of his once. and 1t is doubtful if any Chief Executive of the State was ever more closely in touch with the workings of every department. He had the misfor- tune to be disabled by sickness nearly a year. but he kept up with everything that was going on. If the Legislature should be called in extra session. the people may feel we'll assured that there is good reason for it.

HIS ACTS DELlED BY HIS WORDS

Booker washington's acts belle his words. In a speech in New York City Wednesday evening before negro business meeting he said:
 We should see that no fire of racial hostility Is lighted. Ten million mem bers of our race, the great masses, are in the South, and there. in my opinion. they will remain. There Is a group of white men in the South, however little we may hear of them at a distance. who are constantly exerting themselves to help forward our cause, and we should sec that no action on our part embarrasses them or makes their task more dif1cult.
 These words, in view of his perform ances at the Saratoga hotel only a few hours before, stamp him as a false pre- tender He raised @ mountain of diff faculties in the pathway of peace and real progress of the negro when he marched into that dining hall with a | white woman. He knows full well that it will raise false hopes where they l would not have been created but for his conduct The best and truest friends of Washington will have to drop him. He Is raising a great bar rier between the races. while hypocriti- cally pretending in speech that he is trying to prevent 1t.
