ALL PLACED IN LOOKUP.
Cadets of Maryland Agricultural Col

respondence of The Star

special Correspondence OF The Star.
HYATTSVILLE, Md, November 1, 1906.
Between seventy-five and eighty cadets
from the Maryland Agricultural College en-
tered Hyattsville at an early hour this
morning in celebration of Halloween, and
as the result of their pranks were arrested
by Undertaking w. w. Rush and several
deputies and placed in the Hyattsville lock-
up, where they remained until about Z
O'Clock this morning. Justice of the Peace
Arthur Carr imposed fine of So and costs
in each case and the young men were re-
leased.
1t is said the cadets removed several yard
fences about the town. took down signs
and made the night hideous by college yells.
They visited the home of Mayor Jos. R.
Owens in the northwest section Of the town
and paid their respects to the towns chief
executive, who is also treasurer of the col
lege. AS the young men emerged from the
lookup this morning their faces plainly
showed that they had had night out, but
a rule the novelty of the experience ap-
peared to be greatly enjoyed. Capt. R. W.
Sylvester, president of the college, came
down this morning and put up the necessary
cash for the release of many of the cadets.

Under the maritime law the British and

would have been put in irons. Now the

oHIo,s RATE REELECTION.

Since Ohio has pessed a new law re-
ducing railroad fares in that state to
two cents a mile, it. is reported that
the railroads Will abolish all reduced
rates in Ohio. There will be no more
special excursions Big conventions
will not get half rates and lesser ones
viii not be given a rate of a fare and a
third for the round trip. The special
holiday rates viii be eliminated and
people who pay at all viii all pay the
same rate, two cents a mile.
This may sound terrible-but is it?
Are the railroads really taking away
anything? And if the railroads also
abolish passes, will they not also be
better off?
The new rate in Ohio isthe same as
one and a third fares for a round trip
at three cents a mile, except that un-
der the new plan 1t viii not be neces-
sary to buy round trip ticket and
there viii be no special excursion days
with the jam and overloaded equip
ment that accompanies them.
There viii be a steadter use for equip
ment than though there were a big rush
for it during the existence of special
rates and during the balance of the
time much of 1t should have to stand
idle. This feature is better for the pub
lie and much better for the railroads.
And il passes are abolished enough
more people will pay fare to make up
the loss occasIoned by the reduction,
not counting the natural increase In
passenger traffic bought about by the

be worked out. We have fully made
up our mind 1t is OF far greater i'm
portance that the man IN onlce should
be a square man. than it is that he
should be a Republican or a Demo-
crat. This is a Republican paper, and
1t will look to the Republican ticket
first for good men to vote for; but If in
our judgment We do not ind them. we
shall not hesitate a minute to look
elsewhere. As between Republicans Of
the Platt, Depew and Aldrich stripe
and the Democrats OF the Folk stripe,
we are for the Democrat every time.
and we do not care who knows it.
Whenever the people in general take
this kind of a stand, measures that
have heretofore been blocked by cor
porations intrenched behind party
politics viii begin to get through. the
people viii be able to accomplish
things. and the country viii be
saved.
After reading this declaration Editor
Palmer thought It best to stin farther
declare his independence of declara-
tions, and he did so by winding up in
this way:

ments at this writing, but we always
reserve the right to get SO excited by

It should be said in justice to Editor
Palmer, however, that the yellow dog
usually gets very little support from
him even If the dog is on the Repub-
lican ticket.

a h1ATT,FR or pIrTY.

If one-half Of the things charged and
intimated In the city council meeting
last night are true, some one ought TO
be removed from office and that right
speedily. 1t was openly charged that
the city administration is fostering
violation Of law, and the intimation
was made that some ones-not Mayor
Davis-was receiving graft from this
illegal business.
If there is any proof Of these charges
and intimations the members of the city
council should not stop to pass resolu-
tons impeachment proceedings are
what is called Sor.
These charges were directed at Chief
OF Police Goodwin. No one openly said
Goodwin IS receiving graft from the
law-breakers. but that IS the inference
one draws from the statements made.
Whether there is any truth in these
intimations or not, the chief of police
virtually acknowledged that there is
system in force of licensing houses Of
vice in Topeka by means OF monthly
fines. a system that cannot be tolerated
by a Iaw-abiding and law-respecting
community
But If Councilman Swendson and
General Hughes have any proof to back
up their charges they should assuredly
bring impeachment proceedings against
the chief of police. The law contem-
plates that If a city official refuses to
do his duty in enforcing the law he
shall be impeached, and it Is the city
councils duty to do it.
II they have any evidence against
Goodw win. the eoancilmen should not try
to hide behind the mayor. If they have
sufficient evidence to warrant their
charges and insinuatIons-or if they
can get the evidence-ft is as much the
duty of Councilmen Swendson and
Hughes to impeach the chief of police
as it is the duty Of the chief to enforce
his part of the law. The law is binding
on a councilman just as much as it Is
on the chief. One cannot escape his
duty any more than another.
It is common knowledge, of course,
that the law has not been enforced in
Topeka as it should be. and Chief Good
win Is held largely responsible for it so
fer as the city administration is con-
cerned. No one believes that Mayor
Davis participates in any graft re-
sulting from the violation of the law,
but this evidently cannot be said of the
chief of police. The State Journal has
no evidence against the chief. IF it had
it would not hesitate to publish it. It
secured such evidence against one chief
of police and a councilman. and it is no
ancient history what happened to them.
Therefore If Messrs. Swendson and
Hughes have any evidence against
Chief Goodwin let them bring it forth
in impeachment proceedings, and not
shirk responsibility in passing resolu-
tions and making granGstand plays.
Mayor Davis may be dilatory. but if
he is the council has a remedy at hand.

4sThe Mail Contract Game" !"

Charles Edward Russell relates in
Soldiers of the Common Good in the
March number of Everybody's, the fol-
lowing significant story:
Il had in my possession once the af-
fdavit of a Colorado railroad man ex-
planning part of the mail contract
game. Once every four years the gov
ernment weighs the mail carried on
each railroad. The weighing goes on
every day for thirty days, and on the
resulting average the price is made for
the next four years. The time of the
Weighing is well known to all con
cerned. This witness, a station agent.
swore that at weighing time on his
road he used to send old city direc-
tories, pieces of coupling pins, old
bolts and bits of paving stones day by
day to the division headquarters of his
road and get them all back. A slice
Of a grindstone, he said, had made the
round trip thirteen times in the thirty
days. All the stations on his road per-
formed the like tricks, with the result
that for the next four years the gov
ernments paid for a weight of mails
more than ten times as great as was
ever carried"
