afternoon he was arrested under an
information made by f. C. Boock and
taken before Mayor Grey. When ar
rested Sleek was armed but he claim
ed that he was about to take his rifle
and revolver to the repair shop.
Mavor Grey set the hearing at p. IN.
and required a bond of $1,000 for his
appearance which was promptly fur
nished by A. Bahls a prominent farmer
living near Manila. At the hearing
Sleek pleaded not guilty but the
mayor thought differently and gave
him 10 days in the county Jail and in
sisted that he be taken to Denison
that night. Mr.. Sieck's friends claim
that no testimony was taken and that
he was not allowed to file an appeal
bond. Mayor Grey claims that testi-
mony was heard in the case and that
no notice of appeal was filed nor
bond offered. Sleek was hustled off
to Denison but his friends were hot
on his trail They arrived in Deni-
son soon after the officers and their
prisoner, and appeared before the
county clerk with whom they filed an
appeal bond for $1,000 whereupon Sleek
was at once released, returning to
Manila on Sunday morning much to
the joy of his family and friends.
Much feeling exists IN the case and it
found expression in the city election.

A Republican IN Is Looking for Bryan's
Return

To THE EDITOR OF The SCN-Sir' In times
past IL has been not unusual in school debat-
ing societies, and now and then In the columns
of country newspapers. to raise the question
whether there ought not. in the interest
Of society. to be some limit put upon the
amount Of money which a man may acquire
or pass on to his heirs. 1t has been so com
pletely an academic question that 1t has never
excited serious interest or taken up the time
and attention OF men accustomed to deal with
important and practical affairs.
Now, however, that the greatest statesman
and most popular leader and ruler of the
time has, on a conspicuous public occasion.
committed himself to the doctrine that the
accumulation Of fortunes must be limited, a
doctrine which will beyond doubt commend
itself to the unthinking multitude. It will
inevitably be widely discussed.
One perfectly obvious thing may be said
at the outset. The proposition Ia as frankly
and as rankly socialistic as any ever put for
ward. II 1t Is competent and proper for the
Government TO say what the limit Is to be
to the reward for individual capacity. initia-
tive and industry II must be arbitrary. II
at one time and in one community Ii seems
best that no one should have more than, say.
$40, 600, 900, another community might think
81, 900 900 enough. and 80 on down. until a
point Is reached where no accumulation at all
IL permitted, which is the ideal Of socialism.
WHO is to say what the right amount is which
will not destroy all incentive to individual
e~xertion and at the same time will satisfy
the views Of the majority. who are either
without capacity or industry to acquire any
thing2 AS the productivity Of the race has
been taken In charge at Washington, would
IL not be as we'll to enact that all men shall
be born with the same stock and quality Of
brains and will power, industry and physical
endurance? Then everybody will earn exactly
the same amount. and civilization and prog
ress, the foundation and support Of institutions
Of learning and hospitals and the advancement
Of culture and art will stop Just where they are.
Surprise has been expressed that the Presi-
| dent should have put forward such a scheme.
and il Is said that 1t was due TO a hasty i'm
pulse. On the contrary, ii must have been
the result of profound cogitation and long
! consideration, for il is exactly in line with
the plan to control railroad rates. Under
the proposed bill the Government is to say
what return a man Is 10 receive on his secur-
ity. 1t is but another step to say what his
| income is 10 be or how much property he
may acquire. As a lifelong Republican I am
beginning to look anxiously for the return
OF Bryan. BEwlLDERED.
