tirely worthless when examined in
court-Of this character were the re-
ports charging cruelty to employees
by convicts who had served a time
without hardship under sentence from
competent courts. In another class
are the witnesses who signed con-
tracts and incurred obligations they
were unwilling to observe. Force is
not to be excused, and cruelty is al
ways to be condemned, but too much
reliance need not be placed on the
word of men too ignorant to observe
distinctions clearly made in the law,
and too immoral to stand by con-
tract.
Wholesale condemnation will not
serve the purposes of justices-peon-
age must be uprooted by appeals to
justice, and not to passion. And that
all possible influences may conduce
to this result we ask our contempt
raries to note that in locality only is
the south or Florida involved-the
men and the measures are those of
other sections, even as the laws are
the same. 1t is unfortunate that these
cases are so often noted as The New
Slavery in the South" or under other
captions equally misleading-if this
be breach of the law or wrong, il is
not southern, but largely the product
of those business conditions which,
says Mr. Gompers, Have replaced the
black slave with white one" When
the wrong has been proven let the
law prescribe the punishment, but ii
is unfair, We repeat, to make a Sec
tional curse of peonage. Has any
thing worse been unearthed in the
south. or in Florida, than the congress
sional examination showed in Home
stead? Or than has been proved in
industrial mining or manufacturing
communities in other sections?

The term of thirty members of the
/ United States senate will expire
March 3, 1907. The New York World
describes the situation in this way:
In only few states, and those repub.
lican, does the reelection of sitting
senators or the choice of their sue
cessors remain in doubt. Where
democratic senators are to retire in
the south their democratic successors
have generally been designated, as in
the case of Senator Berry, of Arkan-
sas, and Senator Carmack, of Ten
nessee, who will make room for Gov
ernor JEFF Davis and 'Fiddling Bob
Taylor. Senator Patterson of Colo.
RADIO. will yield probably to Simon
Guggenheim, who is credited with hav-
ing financed the republican state cam
paign, and the legislatures of Idaho
and Montana will replace Senator Du-
bois and Senator Clark with repub-
licans. The good old days seem to
have passed in Montana when Clark,
with Midas-like touch, could turn re-
publican votes into gold. In at leas:
three states the republicans are
sharply divided. In Rhode Island
enough independent republicans have
declared themselves against the cor
rupt Brayton-Aldrich machine to
threaten the extinction of Senator
Wetmore and to give hopes, through
democratic cooperation, of the cleo
ton Of Colonel Goddard Senator
Dryden'S chances of reelection in
New Jersey grow simmer as the time
for assembling of the legislature
draws nearer. But he is fighting des-
perately and has gore to Trenton to
marshal his forces il person. Michi-
gan has four leading candidates who
aspire to Senator Ayers seat-ReDre-
sentative William Alden Smith, Rep
resentative Charles E. Townsend, Ar
thur Hill, a wealthy lumberman, who
fought the old Mcmillan machine in
days past, and William c. Mcmillan,
the former senator's son. Norris
Brown is slated to take the place of
Senator Willard, of Nebraska, and
Senator Benson, of Kansas, who by
appointment is serving out the unex-
pired term of ex-senator Burton
which Burton is serving in jail-ex-
poets to be elected. In New Hamp-
shire Winston Churchill, leader of the
Lincoln republicans, may reappear as
candidate for Senator Burnham's
seat. In Delaware Senator Alice
may be replaced by DUPONT man.
Kentucky has already elected Judge
Paynter to succeed Senator Blackburn
next March, and the recent elections
indicated Governor Beckham as Sen
ator McCreary's successor after

Something New
In the Gag" Line.

A Sensational piece of news comes
from the state of Carrie Nation, be
whiskered politicians, big corn stalks
and prohibition which, i. true, means
that the booze industry of Kansas,
as well as other sections of the
country, is about to be revoIutionized
1t is to the effect that a company has
been formed to manufacture beer in
plug form, so that 1t can be carried
around in a pocket and a piece
Topped off, dissolved in water and
poured into the place where it will
do the most good as occasion may re-
quire.
An enterprising Topeka man is the
originator of Jag plugs" which are
guaranteed to produce" the extract
that the world has been looking for
with neatness and dispatch, and
without interfering in the least with
state prohibition or federal revenue
laws One plug" is guaranteed to
make from four to six gallons of "the
amber liquid" which has all the quail
ties, both good and bad, of the regula-
ton article, made from hops and put
up in bottles and kegs.
The time honored "growler" will
now become obsolete and the festive
"tomat' can Of the Ancient and Hon.
orable order of Hoboes reduced to a
condition of inocuous desuetude.
Their place will be filled by a chew
of jag plug or, upon special occa-
sions, couple of plugs can be soaked
in wash tub full of aqua pura and
a sufficient quantity of the foaming
beverage prepared to satisfy all de-
mands.
Another feature of this truly mod
ern invention that should not be
overlooked, is the ease with which
the beverage may be strengthened to
suit all tastes. For instance, if a
quick jag is desired extra plugs may
be used to give the connection double
or triple strength, or, on the other
hand, it can be made weak enough
for use by infants.
Great is the fame of Kansas, but
greater still will be the fame of the
enterprising inventor, who has thus
put jag within the reach of all, If
he keeps out of Jail long enough.
