SUPREME COURT MEETS.
Justices of Highest Federal Tribunal Call on President-The Kansas
 Colorado Case.

Washington, Oct. 9.-After a four months vacation the supreme court of the United States convened Mon day for the term of 1906-7. In accord ance with custom an adjournment was taken to permit the members to call 1n the president, which they did Tn q body. The hearing of motions and the transaction of other business was postponed until Tuesday.
 It is probable that the argument in the Colorado-Kansas irrigation case, which occupies the first place on the docket. will be postponed until later In the term. A full array of counsel, representing representatives of the controversy and the govern ment, were in the court room Monday.
 Chief Justice Fuller informed them that owing to the constitutional aues- tions involved the court probably will prefer to postpone the hearing until the vacancy caused by Justice Browns retirement is filled. The de- cision of the court on this point will be announced Tuesday.

INOuIsITivE YOuNdsTER.

The Taloga Times editor claims that he was the hero of this episode:
 While doing some shopping in one of our grocery stores last even- ing we chanced to hear little boy ask his father who that man was buying beans. That is our editor, said the father. What do editors live on? asked the inquisitive little urchin. Why do you ask that question: said the indulgent father. Because l heard you say you had taken our home paper for three years and had never paid a cent for it. , To save the father embarrassment we left the store, but it is safe to predict that the child got spanked when the father got him home."
 The foregoing as clipped from an exchange, may appear overdrawn, but we chance to know that there are few such men, men who take their home paper for years without paying for it.

JOE BAILEY,S GOLD AND SIL-
 YER.

In the words of St. James, they said to Joe Bailey down in Texas:
 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a wit ness against you and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. ]"
 But Senator Joe, he declares he just naturally can't see any canker on that Waters-Pierce-Kirby Lum- Der Company gold and silver; it's all bright and shining to him.
 However, his opponents insist that they detect a coating of rust on the senatorial bullion, and they will doubtless continue to use that rust as a witness against the wealthy senator.
 The public, you know, has a way of seeing things that the eyes of an official are unable to make out.- Gazette.

Eastern papers announce that Senator Platt of New York while at his hotel and expecting a visit from his wife who is sueing for a divorce, collapsed and had to be carried to private apartments for treatment. It is also stated that Mrs. Platt while getting into carriage to go to her husband saw a man with kodak trying to take her picture and that she promptly went to him and knocked his instrument to the ground and struck him twice in the face with her fist. Being that kind of a woman 1t is no wonder that Sena- tor Platt collapsed" in anticipation of a visit from her.

 LEGAL ADVICE TO PIRATES.

LEOAL ADNl@E lO HIkA iES.
 Attorney General Hadley of Mis- souri, a Republican, is winning near ly as much fame fighting trusts and corruptionists as Governor Folk, a Democrat, did while he was circuit attorney of St. Louis.
 In recent address on trusts Mr. Hadley, as the St. Louis Post-Dis- patch says, paid his respects to the well-paid legal guides who direct the pirates of business on the path of lawlessness and robbery that does not lead to the penitentiary in the following vigorous language
 ''lt is a fundamental principle of our civilization and of our juris- prudence that no person should be convicted of crime or subjected to a judgment or decree in a civil action, except according to the forms of jaw. In order that results may be obtained, the right to be represented by council is at once apparent. But no lawyer, rich or poor, experienced or inexperienced, able or incapable, has the right to advise an individual or corporation how to violate the law, and how to escape detection or punishment for a violation of the law. Any lawyer who does so is as much an offender against the law as the person or corporation whom he serves.
 If the lawyers would quit taking tainted money to advise unserupu- lous business men how to make it

Mena merchants. Everything looks lovely for Mena.

Governmental reports shows that there is now in operation 36.566 rural mail routes and 2,424 new peti- tions pending, showing that this ser vice is rapidly increasing and will, in due time, cover all portions of the United States. Here is an object lesson showing that things done by the government on behalf of the people is the only expedient way of having them done at all. True it is paternalistic, but it is right, and good for the people

How would the people like to see the rural free delivery of mail turned over to private corporations and conducted as our telegraph and ex- press systems are? If the rural de- livery of mail works SC well and eminently satisfactory under govern mental management why should we not try and secure a postal telegraph system and enlarge the postal par cels system so as to do away with the telegraph and express monopo- lies?
