High License.

Homer j. Hall, chairman of the
executive committee of the Prohibi-
ton party, says that the party as a
party will not interfere with any leg
islafive action looking to an amend
ment of the present liquor laws,
though he and his associates feel that
the only effect of such policy will be
to postpone "the real remedy" which.
in their opinion, is prohibition. Others
insist that the party will make vig-
orous fight against high license bill.
We hope that Mr. Hall is right For
if anything is clear it is that high
license has the effect of reducing the
number of saloons. Thus it results in
at least partial prohibition. Our
friends say that the saloons must go,
But If We can not get rid OF all OF
them at one strike, surely it is the
part Of wisdom to get rid of some OF
acknowledgements News.

Unlawful to Misuse Horses.

The season of the year is at hand
when horses are shamefully misused
by being hitched to rack IN the
open and left there all day and
good part of the night unprotected
from the elements. To discou-aee
the mistreatment of horses the fol-
lowing law has been enacted by this
state:
Whoever overdrives, overloads or
drives when overloaded, overworks,
tortures, torments, deprives OF neccs-
sary sustenance, cruelty beats mutil-
ates or cruelty kills or causes or pro-
cures to be SO overdriven, overloaded,

tortured, or tormented, deprived of
necessary sustenance, cruelty beaten.

NAL; and whoever, having charge or
custody of any animal, either as own
er or otherwise, inflicts needless cru
city upon the same, or deprives il of
any natural means OF defense or pro-
lection, or cruelty or unnecessarily
fails to provide the same with proper
food, drink, shelter, or protection
from the weather, shall, on convic-
ton, be fined in any sum not more
than two hundred dollars, to which
may be added Imprisonment in the
county Jail for any period non exceed
ing sixty days
Persons who are cruel to dumb an
finals are not the caes who read news
papers, usually, so this republication
of the law will not reach them, but
their cases should be looked after by
men who love dumb brutes and who
prize them at their true worth.

Lives of Big Men.

In the new Congressional Direc-
tory, which is just out, Representa-
tive Fred Lands consumes less space
than any other member of Congress
from Indiana. The rule is that each
congressman is his own biographer,
and Fred, probably on the theory
that the youngest should be the most
modest, has less TO say about him
self than any other Hoosier menl-
ber His autobiography occupies only
five and a half lines. Next to Fred in
brevlty is Clarence c. Gilhams, the
new member from the Fl. Wayne
district, whose personal narrative &C.
cupies but six and a half lines of the
directory. He recites that he was
horn at Brighton, Lagrange County,
April II, 1860; that he graduated at
the State Normal school, taught
school in Lagrange county, served
eight years as auditor of that county
and was elected to fill Newton w.
Gilber's unexpired term, and also to
the Sixtieth Congress.
Representative Overstreet always
has believed in short autobiographies
and the little piece" which he wrote
for the Congressional Directory
lacks about one word of filling out
eight lines. Congressman Cromer's
autobiography occupies just thirteen
lines, which seems entirely appropri-
ate, inssmuch as he has been pur-
sued by bad luck for SO many years.
The other Indiana photographs
measure in length as follows: Sena-
for Beverage, eight lines; Senator
Hemenway, eleven lines; Congress
man Clancy, Twenty-Five lines; Con-
gresham Zenor, twelve lines; Con-
gresham Dixon, nine lines; Con-
gresham Holiday, nine lines; Con-
gresham Watson, fifteen lines; Con-
gresham c. B. Lands, ten lines;
Congressman crumpacker, nine
lines; Congressman Brick, ten lines.

HAVE HOPE FOR PEACE.
Solution of Church Separation Prob
lem Near.

A special from Paris says: With
the passing of quiet day Sunday in
the church dispute which has torn
France, hopes are now entertained
for general peace and satisfactory
solution CT the church separation
problem is near
proposal to make before the chamber
of deputies and fresh concessions are
hoped for.
These proposals were kept secret
becaues the government did not wish
to show IT'S hand before the first Sun
day when the separation law was in
effect Sunday was regarded as the
crisis and as no disturbances of note
occurred the government is much en-
couraged. Assured of popular sup
port the ministers will feel free to
make greater concessions to Catho-
lies.
The one great danger, however is
that the vatican will misinterpret the
spirit in which concessions are offer
ed the church. The government is
firmly resolved to make effective the
separation of church aud state.
In offering concessions it is merely
trying to make it easier for the
church to acquiesce with good grace
The danger is that the vatican misin-
terprets it's liberality as due to fear
and holds out for greater conces-
sions.
If such action is taken the govern
ment will withdraw the proposed
concessions and go to the other ex-
treme of exacting full compliance
with every provision of the law.

STATE ROLLING IN WEALTH.
Wisconsin Corporations Pay Three
Times the Taxes People Do.

The people of Wisconsin paid into
the state treasury this year little
over 100000 by general taxation and
received back as aid TO the common,
graded and free high schools three
times that amount.
The money to make this possible
and also to pay all the expenses of
administering the state government
came from taxes on railroads and
other corporations, whose public con-
tributions have been largely increas-
I'd by this commonwealth during the
last few years.
There has been received from the
federal treasury more than N,0L).-
600, like sum from the railroads in
increased taxes and an increase of
some 100000 in license fees from
corporations which are required 10
file articles of incorporation and re-
ports in the Office of The secretary Of
state:
The Northwestern and ST. Paul
railroads each paid single fees of
over 100000 for filing records OF
increases of capital stock. The money
from the federal government was for
old claims connected with the civil
war.
The result of this flow OF money
into the state treasury was that -Eere
was really no emergent necessity Tor
any levy of taxes upon geacral prop
erty at all, but Governor Davidson
opposed RENTING the entire levy be-
cause he deemed it wise to have a
good supply of cash for the building
of the new capitol, which is already
under construction.
State Superintendent c. p. Cary
announced Saturday the annual az
portionment of the state school fund
income, consisting of more than ST.,
660, 900, among the counties OF the
state in proportion to the number OF
school children in each county. The
rate of apportionment was $21.66 tor
each child. The state also distributes
to the graded schools an annual fund
of $4,000, also an annual fund or
s1oo, 900 to the free high schools and
several smaller funds for county
training schools for teachers and
manual training institutions
The result of this situation is that
the people get back from the state
treasurer So for each 81 paid in by
general taxation and do not contrib
ute anything for the support OF the
state government

Ray Stannard Baker, writing for
the American Magazine from San
Francisco, says the earthquake and
resultant fire proved to be good tests
of character. Scattered throughout
the ruined districts, single buildings
stood up like sentinels among sleep
ing troops. When he remarked that
It was strange that these isolated
buildings remained comparatively un
injured, the reply came: "They were
put up by such contractor His
work is always done upon honor"
So the work done upon honor"
withstood both earthquake and FIRE.
What testimonial to the character
of the builder!
The graft and boodling that per-
vaded the municipal government
were also revealed when the city hall
which cost seven millions of dollars
collapsed like house of cards, while
the United States mint, in the same
district, stands almost uninjured. The
postoffice and appraisers stores
buildings also stood the test. prov
ing that in San Franclscc, at least,
government contractors were honest
or government inspection thorough.
There is thus moral lesson taught
by the physical phenomena 1t is not
alone dwelling places and workshops
that men build. Character has been
fifty ilkened to architectural ,construc-
ton. St. Paul said that he, as he
was able, like a master builder had
laid foundation on which others
might build, and uttered the warning
that each stake heed how he build

that it will be unable to make fish

Recently copy of the St. Charles,
Mo. Banner News which all recog-
nize as the production Of our friend
Ron M. Thomson, came 10 me and III
it we find one of Champ Clarks
Washington letters. Champ Clark IS
a fearless spirit and he generally
lands somebody a couple of bracers
before he quits and this time he
passed it around and in the distribu-
ton he touched some of our con-
eressmen on their defeat and other
on their narrow escape which l quote
here:
Young Fred Lands and Mr.. Crom
er were beaten in Indiana, and Abb
raham Lincoln Brick was elected by
the skin of his teeth, fact which
caused Mr. Brick to set his thinker
to working. He says:
I do not know whether there will
be an extra session to consider the
tariff revision or not, but ! am clear
1y of the opinion there should be
There is a great deal of unrest in the
country, and it does not seem pos
sible that we can keep going on this
way indefinitely. All over the country
the sentiment for revision seems
growing, and it is not the part OF
prudent men to ignore the demand oil
the people.
Evidently Brother Brick does not
have to be kicked downstairs to take
a hint that he is not welcome guest
The stand pat" qualifications of Mr.
Brick before the election was consid
cred by his friends to be his strong
suit but later developments seem to
have changed his mind trifie.
Many nice, good man did the
same mind changing just after the
election. The people are tired OF
class legislation to start with and
when continued by the decade are
beginning to show such demagogues
as Mr.. Brick that stand pat policies
are right to pursue only when in the
line of the peoples best interests.
Mr.. Brick says, There is great
deal of unrest in the country" Right
you are Abraham 1t was SO thick
around here about election time yor
could cut it out in chunks. He fur
ther says, at is not the part of pru
dent men to ignore the demands o.
the people" We would suggest tina
Mr. Brick paste this latter quotation
in his hat where he can see it often
If the vote of the Thirteenth con
gressional district was demand TO-
more Brick, then the old adage o
ACTIONS speak louder than words
is myth. The fact that the pecpl'
threw politics aside, along with dem
agogues and their tommyrot ant
voted for men and principle, is tn
best sign of the times. :.

City Council Meeting.

At the adjourned meeting of the city
council held last night, the recommen-
dalton of the board of public works, to
levy two thirds of the cost of grading
and boulevarding Center street from
Minnesota to State street and from
Washington to North Garden street.
On the adjacent and benefited proper
ty and to have the city at large pay for
the other third, was turned down by
the unanimous vote of the full council.
The beard of public works based its
recommended on the fact that Cen
ter street is a much travelled thorough
fare, leading up to Herman's monu-
ment, and that the city at large is
more benefited by the Improvement
than the holders of the adjacent pro-
perty. The council, having some time
ago established the rule, that all
grading OF streets should be borne by
the property holders alone, did not
feel inclined to set aside this rule in
this instance, whereby it would have
created precedent that would have
been very detrimental to further i'm
provements in the city. If the city at
large should be held to pay one third
for all street gradings, the treasury
would not warrant any extensive i'm
provements in this line
The bids for cement walks alongside
the city property on First South and
Second North streets, between German
street and the right-of-Way of the
Minneapolis & ST. Louis road caused
quite surprise. Reiser & Langmack
put in a bid for S726 for the completed
work, and August Pullman one for
1928. The contract was let to the
lower bidder.

NIT to maintain stairway on the side
