Meet Certain Objections.
Washington, May 23.-The house
committee on rivers and harbors has
agreed to an amendment to the bill
for the preservation of Niagara falls
calculated to meet the demands Of
the Chicago drainage canal. The
amendment establishes the principle
that the United States government re-
serves the right to be the sole judge
so far as other nations are concerned
of the amount of water that may be
taken from the Great Lakes for sani-
tary or domestic purposes. The guam
tity is to be fixed so far as the domes-
tic users are concerned either by con-
gressional act or regulation by the
secretary of war
The bill will not deal with the
amount that may be used at Chicago.

not leave until he saw Towards head
shaved and the prisoner don the
stripes. He was within a few feet OF
Howard during the transformation,
but neither spoke to the other. Mrs.
Howard accompanied her husband
from the Louisville jail to the gates
OF the prison, where she was turned
back. Howard retained his composure
while changing his garb. the only no
ticeable change being the absence OF
HIS smile. This disappeared when he
was confronted with the prison uni
form and saw hundreds of the men
who are to be his companions in mis-
cry, who were hocking to their noon

THE Charleston Enterprise thinks
that with a banking bureau, head
ed by a supervisor appointed by
the Governor, bank examinations
would be divorced from politics.
Why less politics then than now?
There may be political pulls with
the Secretary of State, but accord
ing to my observation, there's a
pound of politics in the Guber-
Material mansion to every ounce
scattered elsewhere about the
capital. The Enterprises cure in
fers that politics must not be given
in broken doses, and reminds me
of what an old friend said to me
one day: 81 tell you, Eli, it's a
mistake to take a little drink of
whiskey; it has no stimulative
force, and only initiates the stom-
ach. But a good big dram hits the
right spot, warns you up, soothes
your nerves, strengthens your sys-
tenn, and cures the ills from which
you are suffering" AS to whether
I admitted his conclusions and
followed his advice, why-er-that
is really a private matter.

copy the following from the
st. Louis World, not because of its
possessing a ''moral''-in fact,
many good people will look upon
it as being of decidedly immoral
tendency-but solely on account of
its uniquity: "From Appleton, a
town of fifteen thousand inhabi-
tants in tho State of Wisconsin,
comes a lid story that is a corker.
The story is that a clergyman
and it must be confessed he
might have had other, and pos
sibly better, business on the Sab
bath-entered a saloon on the
Lords day and bought a bottle of
beer. Later he caused the arrest
of the saloonkeeper and produced
the beer as evidence. The accused
dealer made no serious defense,
but, Notwithstanding that fact, and
the larger fact that the town has a
comprehensive Sunday closing
law, he was acquitted. The saloon
keepers friends rejoiced, but he,
being conscious of the rectitude of
his intentions and determined that
justice should be indicated, no
matter what the consequences Ito
the minister), brought a case
against his accuser for violating
the Sunday labor law by working
as an employee of the Anti Saloon
League, the contention being that
the beer was not purchased fol
pleasure, but for business. The
minister-reforme was found guilty
and sentenced" Appleton, Wis

Destroy the Corrupt Influences.
CLIO, ARK, June 6, 1906.

JAM 4AANAAst 49, " wv
Ed. Register:--I find the follow
ing paragraph in this weeks Com
moner: "Some people have grown
indignant when it has been charged
that criminal laws we're made for
the poor and helpless rather than
for the rich and influential, but
nearly every day we are obtain
ing demonstrations of the difficulty
of holding rich and powerful men
to account for their crimes" Then
as an illustration the following is
given: SIN the revelations in the
Northern Securities merger case,
in the rebate cases, in the beef
trust cases, and in the insurance
Investigations many men were
shown to be guilty of serious
crimes, but not one has been placed
behind the bars. Of all the men
exposed in these disclosures, Bur-
ton alone, poverty stricken and
helpless, stands at the PRISONS
threshold"
Now, what is the lesson to be
learned from these facts? What
do they teach? Is it not that
capitalism is destroying our gov
eminent, and in its place setting
up a government of the rich and
powerful? A privileged class who
may at will override the laws, rob
the people, defy the officers of the
law and go unwhipt of justice?
But why should attention be called
to these things if there is no
remedy? l admit that capitalism
has no remedy. These are the
logical consequences of the sys-
tenn. The man who plays the
game best, succeeds best, and
when we observe the blind wor-
ship of wealth, can we wonder
that men become unconscionable
scoundrels in their mad pursuit of
riches?
"Nearly every day." says the
Conmoner, "we are obtaining
demonstrations of the difficulty of
holding rich and powerful men to
account for their crimes" Why
is it difficult, if not impossible, to
punish the rich by law? Because
they own the officers and the
courts, and there is no remedy so
long as the power to buy and the
necessity for buying the courts
remains.
II all the officers in this country
were hanged tomorrow, the new
set could not long remain free
from the blighting influences that
work for corruption. Destroy the
temptations to corruption through
public ownership and operation of
the industries. That is the only
remedy that | Am able to see; if
there are others, they are invisible
to me. F. P. HILBURN.

MY G.. 0. P. contemporaries
have the habit of saying, "the Re-
publican party is the party that
does things" A Congress over
whelmingly Republican in both
branches adjourned last Saturday
after having for months labored
with ostentatious display upon a
railroad rate bill and a meat in
spection bill. Both bills were
finally passed, but not until after
the s'interests" involved on tho
plutocratic side had got in their
perfect work. Yes, ''the Repub-
lican party does things" but it
always does them to suit the will
of the thieving "business inter-
ests'' that have for forty years
been piling up riches for them
selves at the expense of the bone
and slnew of the land. 1t "does
things" as directed by the mo-
nopolies and the trusts, which, in
turn, reciprocate with big cam
paign contributions.
