DENATURED ALCOHOL.

One of the most important bills that has been presented in Congress for a long time is the alcohol bill, and to give an idea of what it means to the people we reproduce the fol- lowing from the Kansas City Journal:
 ''The denatured alcohol bill pro vides for the removal of the inter- nal revenue tax upon grain alcohol intended for all commercial and industrial purposes except as a beverage. What this will mean to the country is almost beyond esti- nation. Free alcohol will mean a liquid fuel that will cost less than gasoline and will be many times more desirable. It will mean that stills will be erected in the farming communities where waste products of the field will be utilized with profit to the farmers as well as to the distillers and the consumers. It will mean an emancipation from the Oil trust in thousands of cases, and it will afford small manufactur- ing establishments cheap fuel for their gas and gasoline engines that will enable them to compete more easily with big concerns.
 "Denatured alcohol is the ordinary distilled product of grains, corn stalks and anything else that has sugar in it, and after the distillation the alcohol is diluted with a noxious mixture that prevents its being used as beverage. This dilution does not affect it's fuel value. As there are many products of the farm and field that may be handled by the distiller which now have no market value, it is seen that the farmers as well as most everybody else uil be

benefited, with the addition that the farmer will gain both as pro- ducer and consumer"
THE SPRINGFIELD GRAND
 JURY.

The preliminary report of the Springfield grand jury shows that the two negroes lynched on the night of April IA were innocent and that the mob was not composed of repre- sentative citizens of that town, but of the disreputable element the in- nately lawless. It also declares that the sheriff and the police were dere- lict in their duties, and that with a proper exercise of authority they might have saved the lives of these innocent men.
 The grand jury has officially de- clared what has been commonly be- lieved. It has put the Springfield atrocity in the light of most hide ously wanton crime. It has also justified Governor Folk in the drastic measures he employed to restore order in the community. Kansas City Star.

BY A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE

Governor Cummins of Iowa is to have a convention of Governors at Des Moines in September to arrange for election of Senators by direct vote of the people. It may take several such gatherings, however, to accomplish the reform" Quite a number of people, including some governors, are not as enthusiastic about overturning the work of the founders of the government as MT. Cummins is"
 The foregoing from the Kansas City Journal indicates quite clearly that it is not favorable to changing the present method of choosing United States Senators. Those gov ernors, however, who may desire a change can pretty nearly secure their ends by adopting the primary cleo tion methods, which, as in this state, gives the people pretty fair voice in naming their choice.

WESTERN MINERS MEET.
Tacitly Agreed that Mover and Haywood Will be Reelected as President

Denver, Col, May 29.-Nearly 150 delegates were in attendance at the opening session of the thirteenth an nual convention of the Western Fed eration of Miners, which assembled here Monday, and many of them held proxies from unions which have sent no delegates. J. c. Williams, of Grass Valley, Cal, acting president of the federation. called the convention to order. The sessions will be executive, as in previous years, unless other wise ordered by the convention itself.
 In many respects this is the most important convention of the federation since it was organized at Butte, Mont, l3 years ago. It is tacitly agreed among the members that Charles Ii. Mover, president, and William D. Hay wood, secretary and treasurer, who are in prison in Idaho. awaiting trial on the charge of complicity in the as sassination of former Gov.

 Evidence to Hold Crosby

Kansas City. Mo, May 26.-Tne government finished its slde or lhe rebate case Thursday afternoon in the trial of George H. Crosby, George l.. Thomas and L. B. Taggart. indicted bv the grand jury last December Tor alleged conspiracy.
 The testimony to tho present has shown that in 1903 and 1904 Kansas City merchants received approximate lv s15O 900 from Thomas, from some or his employees or from "myscerious source" But none of these merchants kept any record apparently Of the transactions.
 When the government rested Judge n M Spencer. of counsel for the de- fense. moved demurrers to the evidence as to all the defendants and askeo the court to order the release of Cros- by on the ground that no evidence ilad been presented that would warrant a conviction for conspiracy.
 The court sustained the demurrer of Crosby's counsel holding that no evidence had been presented to connect Crosby with a conspiracy as charged in the indictment returned last De- cember by the grand jury. This indict- ment charged that Crosby had conspir- ed with George L. Thomas, freight broker, and L. B. Taggart, his clerk, to pay rebates to certain persons.
 At 2 o'clock Friday afternoon Judge McPherson ordered that the case of Thomas and Taggart must go to the jury. This is based on the indictment that charges Thomas and Taggart With conspiring with shippers to obtain and pay rebates. Judge McPherson sus- tained the demurrer of the defense to the evidence in the case in which Thomas and Taggart were charged with conspiring with George H. Crosby to pay rebates.

Upton Sinclair says on this subject:
 "I have been getting evidence to- gether, but cannot even outline 1t in an article of this length. Suffice it to say that it contains no allega- tions of my own, but consists of affi- davits and court testimony of chem ists' analyses and the signed decla- rations of persons of responsibility and authority all proving my asser- tion that hundreds of millions of pounds of diseased and tainted meat are sold to the American public each year; that our national system of in- spection is a farce, maintained for the packers benefit and paid for by the people of the United States, in order to certify to the governments of Europe that no diseased meat is sent there; also that there is no pro- vision in our law to prevent the greater number of the abuses which l have described, the doctoring of spoiled ham, the regrinding of old sausage and the use of everything in the pig but the squeal, including the gullet and the stomach to make 'deviled ham and the skin to make head cheese. ]"
 Mir. Sinclair is vice president of the Intercollegiate Socialist society. He became a Socialist after a trying in New York, where he went a poor young man to sell his book, Prince Hagen" The pub fishers rejected it and Sinclair nearly starved. Mir. Sinclair lives in Princeton. N. J.

GIVING THE PEOPLE A STONE

Nothing but the conference com mittee and ratification of it's report now stands between the rate bill and the statute books. That it will be- come law in practically the form that it left the Senate except for possibly two or three enervating amendments is more than likely.
 The reunited Republican party, railroad wing linked lovingly arm in arm with radical wing, is already celebrating victory for the peo- ple." Aldrich Republicans are felic- itating the country that everything the President has stood for will be written into the new law" "Roose- welt Republicans" are laboriously proclaiming that "any kind of a law at all is victory" considering the influence that plutocracy admittedly exercises over the Senate.
 Both factions of the party are tell ing what is not true. Senator La Toilette has himself exploded the claim that the bill contains every thing the President has demanded. The President, originally, and to the time of his surrender to Aldrich, demanded a law which would enable the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion to establish a just rate to re- place an unjust one, which new rate should go into effect at once and re- main in effect, unless and until" it was reversed by the courts. The law as it will pass provides for a new rate which will remain null and void during all the time it is in litiga- tion and which may have expired by the time the law suits are disposed of, whereupon the old and unjust rate will again become operative Omaha World Herald.

Twenty-two citizens of Springfield, Mo-, have been indicted by the grand jury for the lynching of two negroes at that place several weeks ago. Some are indicted for first and sec- ond degree murder and others for burglary and perjury. This result is largely due to the prompt and de- cisive action of Governor Folk, who believes in a statuary law, not mob law.
