Will Call on Treasurers.-Seth G..
Wells, auditor of state, and T. T..
Kelly, state treasurer decided to call
on the county treasurers for a por-
ton of the state taxes now due the
state. Owing to the fact that the
county treasurers have not yet made
their reports to the auditor regard
ing the amount of money they have
on hands belonging to the state it
was impossible to exactly follow the
provisions of the new depository law,
because the auditor has no, basis on
which to apportion the draft among
the various counties. 1t was there
fore decided to call for % per cent
of the state tax in the hands of the
treasurers. 1t will amount to about
100000, and will furnish sufficient
money to run the state until the
treasurers prepare their reports.

tax ferret, caught the tax, dodgers of
Corey county for s17,23S62 for one

should encourage the law officers to do
their utmost, to bring their industry and
intelligence to bear on the case. They
should then support the courts in the ad-
ministration of justice. They should simply
stand blythe machinery of the law. All
this is the obvious duty of the citizen.
Some of the accounts that are coming
out of certain precincts in Alexandria coun-
ty read something like this: John Doe. who
has long been known to be a desperate
character and who always carries re-
volver. has been arrested on suspicion Of
having committed the crime" The time to
deal with a man known to be desperate
and known to carry a revolver Is at the
very instant when these facts become
known. Don't wait to arrest him on sus-
picion of some great crime. If he deserves
the reputation of desperate character
and carries revolver" deal with him at
once Lock him up or make him move on.
Law officers are supposed to know the no.
toriously desperate characters in their baili-
wick. AS rule. the notorious bad man"
is an empty swaggerer and will roar like
sucking dove when the sheriff says Il want
YOU" But the bad man. who Is not
bad should be exposed. for he often af-
frights women and chicken-hearted men,
and the bad man. who is really bad
should be brought up with short turn.

Russo-Japanese Prisoners.

| The Russian government seems unable to
conduct itself creditably in any business
negotiation. 1t was patent to the world
that the Russian troops taken prisoners by
the Japanese were given better treatment
than they had ever known before. They
were washed clothed and well fed. They
had clean quarters. This perhaps did not
at first appeal to the cars soldiers. They
did not understand it, but they learned that
1t was comfortable. In fact, their impris-
onment in Japan was liberal education to
these men. They came to consider that
there was more freedom and enjoyment in
being prisoners of the Emperor of Japan
than in being subjects of the Emperor OF
Russia. The only complaint they had to
make was that vodka and other spirits were
cut off. No doubt they thought this a hard
ship, even though it was a benefit. Any
how. Pagan Japan gave Christian treat
ment to prisoners of war.
Under the provisions of the treaty of
Portsmouth the keep of prisoners was to
be paid for. Japan held 10000 Russian SOL
diers and sailors prisoner. Her bill against
Russia was 5OOOO,OOO yen, something less
than 100000 Russia looked at this bill.
turned it over and over. thought it unrea-
sonable, demanded all the items of the ac-
count, higgled, haggled and finally con-
scented to pay.
Russia held fewer than 1000 japanese
prisoners many Of them being non-combat-
ants-fshermen, artisans and laborers. They
did not get as good treatment as the Rus
sian prisoners. Russia is not renowned for
gentleness in the treatment of prisoners.
And yet the Russian bill presented to Japan
for the keep of these prisoners was 100000
yen. If the maintenance Of 1900 Japanese
cost Russia 600, 900 yen the maintenance OF
900 Russians should have cost Japan
245. 600 600 yen.
The Asahi Shimbun is authority for the
statement that the Russian accounts were
compiled in cursory manner, and gave no
detailed information as to how the expendi-
lures for the support of the Japanese pris-
oners We're made. The Japanese govern
ment has asked for an explanation. and
this has not been made.

Hobson and the Vice Presidency.

CAPTAIN Richmond r. Hobson is accredited
with the ambition to run for Vice President
on a ticket with Mr.. Bryan and. it Is said,
hopes to advance his interests by his lee
turing tours. But would he fit?
If Mr. Bryan is again the candidate for
first place the candidate for second place
should come from the east. Why go south
for him? The votes of that section are not
In dispute. The party tag carries the south.
1t Is in the east and in one or two middle
states that the battle will be fought, and it
is there that the bid for support must be
made.
And then Captain Hobson is not In agree
ment with Mr. Bryan on the question of the
navy. The hero of the Merrimac wants
Uncle Sam to be at least twice strong
as he now Is on the blue water. He sees
work ahead for US. and considers that We
shall be able to perform it all the more
successfully if prepared to give a few orders
In firm tone Mr. Bryan, speaking colo
quially, is on the other lay. He thinks our
naval equipment already too large and ex-
pensive. He talks peace and arbitration,
buttering his parsnips with many fine
words.
This is an important point, because we
have II from no less an authority than
Charles A. Towne that If Mr.. Bryan reaches
the White House he will consult the Vice
President quite as freely as any member OF
the cabinet on all important party policies.
Let us suppose, then, President Bryan pre-
pairing his first message to Congress and
calling in the ex-sailor. Vice President Hob
son, to discuss the paragraph about the
navy How would it be possible for them
to agree? What argument could the Presi-
dent advance to bring the Vice President
around. or vice versa? The author of the
recent peace talk in London and the author
of pretty stiff war talk in many places
would come to a deadlock in no time. Could
an administration so divided against itself
stand? Where is the man bold enough to
predict such thing?
No, Capt. Hobson wouldn't fit and it is
going to be a difficult thing to find man
who villa man, that is, measuring up by
reason OF experience in affairs, all-round
ability. or personal popularity. to the Of
fee Mr.. Bryan Is so many kinds OF man
he gives his party trouble about that as
about other matters. On the RAILROAD ques-
ton he rates as a socialist. On silver he Is
part populist and part democrat. On the
tariff he is q democrat. Where is there
another just like him of caliber sufficient to
meet the demands of running mate?
