PRESIDENTS EARS
MUST OPEN To ALL
EXECUTIVE FORCED TO LISTEN
TO SCHEME FROM EVERY
WHERE FOR CHANGES.
Those Having Spent Summer Abroad
Most Anxious To Acquaint This
Country With Things Seen In
Foreign Lands and Which Ought
Special to The Republican.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 27.-After
three months of sweltering emptiness,
Washington is again beginning to fill
up with luminaries of greater or less
power, who have been wandering over
The world during the summer. 1t will
not be long before the city can once
again become of first Importance, since
the president is to return on the first
OF october, thus throwing open the sea-
son for those mysterious conferences
at the White House on which the lit
is reported" and the president is
known to have said stories are based.
Regular But Unwelcome Duties.
AS a matter of fact, one of the
regular if unwelcome duties of the
president until congress opens is list
ening to the suggestions of citizens
who have been abroad and want to tell
him just how it is done in foreign
countries. OF course, in many cases
the information is important, but then
again, the president is forced to listen
to all sorts of trivalities, making his
task of winnowing the wheat from the
chaff a heavy one.
Last to Get News.
OF course, everyone knows all about
these matters before they are explain
ed to the president. For instance, one
man is known to be only waiting to tell
Mr.. Roosevelt all about the identified
ton cards which it is necessary to pre-.
sent at postofices in Germany to re
ceive mail, thus doing away with mis-
delivery, while another wants to point
a moral with the story of the public
eXecutioner of France, who, although
he continues to draw his salary of
$500 a year in spite of the fact that
the death penalty practically has been
abolished, insists that his conscience
will not permit him to indulge in such
graft and clamors for someone to xe-
cute, that he may earn his pay.
The Roman Example.
OuS plOIlllGII NdSuluSlOuLdh 10
bubbling over with the case of Rome
modern, not ancient-fnding in it the
answer to Mr.. Bryan's policies. The
city government of Rome, it seems, in,
famed with the spirit of Jack Cade
because the price of bread seemed too
high, decided to mu~nicipalize the
bread-making industry in order that
the price might be lowered. Result:
A black eye for municipal ownership,
and hence government ownership,
since the city bake shops anne to an
early end, the financial loss in two
years being more than $4,000. Bread
is baked where it was-since it is
cheaper that way.
And Thus To the End.
And so it goes. If the presidents
ears be not wearied in the next six
weeks listening to sage advice, and if
wonderful stories do not emanate from
Washington, twill only be because
something, perhaps the tariff, is out of
whack.

HUG HELD

PEACE PROCEEDINGS TRANSFER.
RED TO DISTRICT COURT WITH
MAN IN COUNTY JAIL.
Officers Found in His Trunk Deposit
Slip for Check Made Payable to
Lulu Day and Union Gard in Name
of George Day-Some New Feat
ures of Complicated Case.

George Hug, the machinist against

in Justice Grants court, charging that

posely, feloniously and with premedi-
tated malice kill and wound this at.
FAINT" was this afternoon held to the
district court in the sum of $500. In
that court he will be arraigned and
Judge Carpenter will deal with the case.
Hug was before the court this morn
ing, and gave Judge Grant permission
to send an officer to his room on First
street and search his trunk. This con-
sent prevented the beginning of pro-
ceedings for a search warrant, as the
justice vas determined to add more
light to the complicated case.
Deposit Slip Found in Trunk.
The officer searched the fellows
trunk. and found a deposit slip from the
First National bank of this city for a
check deposited for collection. The
check was drawn on a bank at Pocatel-
10, Idaho, and was made payable to
Lulu Day." The sum was S640. The
check had been forwarded to Pocatello
for payment, the deposit slip being in
the nature of a receipt should the
money be turned i've to the Laramie
bank. 1t was shown that the check
had been deposited by Mrs. Lulu
Hauptley, wife of the operator and the
woman whom Hug claimed was his
wife.
Hug Is Union Man.
The officers also found in the trunk
a machinist's union card made in the
name of George Day. Hug once said
his name was Day and later declared
that Hug was his right name. He
sometimes insists that one and then
the other is his right name.
Believed Man Unbalanced.
Justice Grant at one time was in
clined to the belief that Hug, or Day, is
somewhat unbalanced, and SO decided
that he would be safer in Jail until he
has time to calm down somewhat. OF
ficers believe that Mrs. Hauptley's life
is not safe with Hug running at large
Che justice had in mind during thefore
noon to fix the bail at $500, but after
ahving seen the return of the office
sent to examine his trunk, he fixed bail
at a lower figure. Hug vas taken tc
the county Jail.
Case to District Court.
What disposition will be made of the
case is now up to Judge Carpenter, who
has the prisoner on a peace warrant
and for failure to give bail for his ap
pearance. Mrs. Hauptley was not il
the court room when the sheriff re
turned with the deposit slip and the
union card, and did not have a chance
to explain the Lulu Day" feature Of
the complications. 1t was asserted IL
the court room this morning that she
and Hauptley had been married in Cal
ifornia three years ago. Mr.. Hauptle,
is an excellent operator and Manage
~Peckenpaugh hopes he will be able t,
keep right on at work.

FUTURE OF THE INDIAN
Civilization VIII Gain by His Alb
sorption Into National Life.

From tho Kansas City Journal.
White men cannot be expected to look
upon the future of the Indian through the
red mans eyes. He IL q poet by nature,
and poets are emotional They have their
seasons Of exaltation and their times Of
depression. They are either ecstatic or
moody and some OF them are more inclined
to melancholia than others.
The Indians nature Is more somber than
sunshiny. He has a keen sense of humor
and yet he has repressed and suppressed
himself for ages. He is not given to light
heartedness and it takes a great deal to
make him laugh.
It is not to be wondered at. therefore.
that even so Intellectual a man as Chief
Pleasant Porter Of the Creeks should re-
gard the nominal disappearance Of his race
in a gloomy spirit. But history is against
his sentimental melancholy. 1t is the In
meled life Of the forest. the illimitable
stretches of the prairies and the mighty
woods where he hunted and fished. 1t is
the Indian in him that rebels against the
conQuering Anglo-Saxon and sees in it only
Nirvana, an intellectual nothingness. a sud-
den dropping out Of the procession OF the
races, like one Of his own lost rivers.
But viewed in the larger light Of history
and. as we believe, correctly. there is every
reason for qualification and none for sullen-
ness or sadness. The world is governed
by laws SO vast that 1t Is not the part OF
human wisdom to complain, for they can
be only Just. The Indian has played the
great game Of the world, and has lost.
The fittest has survived and always will.
But that does not mean that people that
nominally perishes has served no GOOD pur-
pose or that 1t will disappear when It has
ceased to be q race. The Indian has a past
that is splendid In q barbaric sense. He
has a future that 10 splendid In civilized
