A gentleman from the town of Dew
ey was inquiring the other day about
the steps necessary to get the state
tax commission into that town. We
are surprised. We supposed from the
sheet that the Helm company wanted
US to edit couple or three years ago
that everything was in charming
state there. Our Dewey friend ought
to consult the car on the subject
go to the source of information and be
told as a neighborhood was a couple
years ago that "they didn't know what
they wanted and wouldn't be satisfied
if they had it. y Our good friend in
Dewey should keep easy, and if he
can't keep easy, keep as easy as he
can. If he doesn't pay his taxes in
quiet, those $3.50 lots will have to be
assessed more than S5-anG the tax
commission might come with less en-
ticing than is thought.
Be quiet, fellows, be quiet-learn
to be browbeaten and bulldozed- a
big voice and pretence and presumption
should be respected. And where is the
evidence that the little fellows have
any rights anyhow?

How Germany Curbs Automobiles

The German governments proposed
way of Furnishing automobiles who
run down the people of the country
side is worth considering. Embodied
in a bill is the scheme obliging auto
mobilists to pay life annuities to those
dependent on persons killed by their
motor cars or to those permanently
injured by them. The owners of the
cars and not the chauffeurs would be
held responsible and the annuities
would be assessed bv the courts.

4 Law Against SANDER.

The News understands that there is
not in this state any adequate penalty
for SANDER. 1t is in good position to
appreciate the necessity Of a law max
ing SANDER a criminal offense with
sufficient punishment to deter the
constituencies ours that abound in TIE
precincts Of the grafters gang from
their mouthings.
There is something in life besides
gaining wealth, honestly or dishonesty,
and that is the preservation of a good
reputation.
There are people mean enough and
low enough to commit slander-one
of the lowest crimes on the calendar,
and there should be punishment for
them.
The lowest creature on earth is the
s,anderer.
We suggest to the assembleman from
this district a stronger law against

A Clean Campaign.

The News has conducted clean
campaign. 1t has not said word that
was not true. 1t has not attacked the
private character Of single candidate.
It has avoided everything that was
prevalent to the issues. It has frank
" admitted that many of the officers
to whom it was opposed had done their
work we'll.
The News has been charged by some
other papers with mud singing. This
is absolutely false and those papers
knew it when they said it.
There were things that had to be
said that we would much rather have
left unsaid They were matters of
official conduct.
The Budget, while talking of mud
singing and yellow journalism, calls
Mr.. Maloney Sucker" and ''smutty
ear Who but a debased illiterate
would write such stuff of man the
opposite of Sucker" and who, in
stead of being a ''smutty ear" is
clean gentleman and scholar? We
leave the public to pass upon such
journalism.
The Journal was promptly called
down by Mr.. Thomas for publishing
that which was false. 1t attempted
to have it appear that Mr.. Sergeant
was of very brief residence in the coun-
ty when he had been in the county
about ten times as long as Briggs,
whom the Journal.
We call attention to these things
there are many more. They Indicate
where the sense of fairness is located.
The News holds its columns wide
open to anyone who feels agrieved-
space unlimited. We furnish the plant
do the work and pay the postage. If
you are not a writer, we will write
your ideas for you. That is fair, isn't
it?
Then don't grumble, admit that we
are right-be honest.
We have limited what we have said
to the narrow issues of the campaign
as all papers should.

James n. Rice

indianapolis, Ind. Aug. 10.-Accord-
ing to a report submitted to Governor
Hanley today by the experts employed
to examine the books of the present
and past state officers. James H. Rice,
who served as auditor of state from

faulter in the sum of 100000
Ii also is shown in the report that
Rice received fees on insurance taxes
as did his predecessors and success
ors in Office. Suits are now pending
against two former state auditors to
recover the fees thus appropriated, and
the case has been taken to the supreme
court, lower courts having held that
the state auditors were not entitled to
fees.
James H. Rice has been dead num-
ber of years, and his estate has been
distributed among his heirs

Bank Put Through Sweat
ing.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-Having slIrren-
dered himself to the police yesterday
afternoon, Henry w Herring, cashier

examination by the states attorney
concerning his knowledge of President

solvent condition of the bank. Herring
was promised no immunity and it is
the intention of the states attorney to
prosecute him up to the limit of his
responsibility.

KISSING IN SCHOOLS TABOOED BY
INDIANA BOARD OF HEALTH ACTION

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 10.-A kiss
less existence is guaranteed to every
child attending school in Indiana. The
state board of health gives the guaran-
tee. Not a kiss in the long catalogue
of kisses will be countenanced in any
school in the state when they open af-
ter the vacation.
And, if the state board of health can
do it, the war against kissing and
kisses will be carried beyond the
school. Every kiss in Indiana may be
a stolen kiss after a while.
But in the schools there must be no
kissing at all This is the first COM
munication the children will find on
the notice boards of the schools:
DO not kiss any one on the mouth
or allow any one to do SO to YOU
UEcertain As to Details.
The board of health hasn't decided
whether it will be permissible TO ac-
cept kiss on the cheek or bestow one
on a favorite eye. The problem is still
under consideration and blanket in
junction covering every variety of kiss
may be issued
The boards anti-kissing edict applies
to girls as vigorously as to boys. A
girl who would faint at the idea of u
boys kiss gives and accepts girls
kisses as a matter of course. That also
is frpwned upon The Indiana school
girl must avoid the kisses of her girl

CLEAN BILL GIVEN PAUL MORTON BY
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION

Washington. Aug. 1O.-Paul Morton,
formerly head of the traffic department
and other officials of the Atchison, To
peka and Santa Fe. were given a clean
bill of health by the interstate com
merce commission.
In "a statement concerning the con
viction of the railroad for rebating the
commission declares the avowed our
pose of the practice tends to support
the view" that there was no criminal
intent on the part of the officials in
volved.
The statement calls attention to the
fact that with the imposition of ths
$4,000 fine oH the railroad ''the history
of the famous Santa Fe rebate case is
practically closed and praises Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Attorney General
Moody for carrying out with success
the administration declared purpose
70 enforce the statute in all such cases.
Commission Takes Some Credit.
In its reference to the attorney gen
eral the commission adds that he in
disagreeing with Messrs Harmon and
Judson, who had been employed by the
government to make preliminary in
vestigation, acted plainly with fore
knowledge of the legal difficulties that
attended every step in the attempted
prosecution of Mr.. Morton and other
officials in this peculiar case. which
really grew out of a long standing
practice intended primarily to develop
the coal industry in Colorado and New
Mexico. which really did have that ef-
feet, and which only became conspic-
