modest income the name of miser. - Kansas City Star.
 It would be hard world If all men of means were Russell Stages. He has got little out of his long years of accomplishing and hoarding, beyond the simplest comforts such as are enjoyed by many mechanic. And now he has left his treasure and entered the future life as poor as the poorest beggar. Did it pay?- Kansas City Journal.
 Acquisitiveness and stinginess to the point of miserliness were his dominent characteristics. His only pleasure was in making money. He reveled in those situations bordering on panic in the securities market, which enabled him to save the tottering fortunes of others by loan ing them money at an exorbitant rate of interest. He occupied the anomalous position of the bird of prey and at the same time the savior of Wall street. Joplin Globe.

TEN YEARS AGO TODAY.

On the 27th day of July 1896 the senior editor of the Star first set foot in Mena. By passenger train to Poteau, on construction train from there, part of the time occupying the soft side of load of steel rails, we, in company with a dozen others bound for Mena, had good oppor- tunity to view the mountain scenery until we reached point about eight miles out when we were told that we could use our tie pass the rest of the way as the train had reached it's terminal point.
 Just from under a physicians care with positive orders not to indulge in any hard work or strenuous exer- else, we started on that hot July day for that eight-.nile walk. carry ing grip and roll of blankets to steady us as it were, So we would not step too high. Fortunately after walking three miles, or at a point near Acorn a wagon and team hove in sight seeking passengers and the rest of the journey was more restful even over the rolling rocky

WHAT SOrlE PAPERS SAY OF
 SAGE

A saying attributed to Russell Sage: Real charity is disbursed without the blare of trumpets. :" The country awaits quiet surprise.
 Globe Democrat.
 So far as the world is concerned, the vast fortune accumulated by Russell Sage might as well be put into his grave with him. He lived for himself. He hoarded money for moneys sake. The accumulation of wealth was mania with him. He kept large cash balances, made heavy call loans. and thus was always ready to turn his money to the best advantage in adding to the object of his idolatry. Relative frugality would have brought on a man of

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

Postal savings banks are to be started in the Philippines. In this case the sufferers from imperialism, if there are any, are home folks. Globe-Democrat.
 It does appear rather strange that the United States government should so readily establish postal savings bank system in one of the colonies, as stated above, and make no effort whatever to provide so benificient a system for itself, or for the people at home.
 This is one of the things that the people should provide for themselves instead of permitting private cor porations to do it for them, but it will never be done as long as this government is controlled by corpo- ration trusts.
 The only imperialism this country ever need fear is the imperialism of corporation trusts now in control of Congress to such an extent as to prevent the adoption of postal saw ings banks, postal telegraph and the enlargement of the postal parcel system.

LIN SUCH FINE SHAPE"

MT. Roosevelt will have everything in such fine shape by the close of his term that the office of president will be little more than sinecure for the ensuing quarter of century. Globe-Democrat.
 It will be remembered that Presi- dent Roosevelt while getting every thing in such fine shape is charged with having ''stole some of Bryan's clothes while he was in swimming, :" but Mir. Bryan says if Roosevelt did the clothes do not fit him well.
 Of course it is very nice to get everything in such fine shape for Mir. Bryan, but it occurs to us that the contest begun by MT. Roosevelt to curb the trusts will have only just commenced and MT. Bryan will have plenty to do to carry forward the good work.
 In fact, we are of the opinion that there are several measures along re- form lines that Mir. Bryan will take up which Mir. Roosevelt has not as yet touched upon and are strong enough to cause no end of trouble to any president who may attempt to interfere with their so-called vested rights.
 With the public sentiment now existing, and constantly becoming stronger against corporation trusts, it will be strange indeed if the peo- pie do not demand of the president who succeeds MT. Roosevelt that the telegraph, express and kindred mo- nopolies that are essentially public utilities, be abolished and transferred to and conducted by the Uuited States postal department.
 The Globe-Democrat should learn that the battle between corporation trusts and the people is on and that there will be no compromise, leaving plenty of good, strenuous work and fighting for Mir. Bryan and possibly other presidents who succeed MT Roosevelt.

SHERIFF OUTN|TS \ MOB|
Maryland Official Succeeds in Legal Executing Sentence of Death
 on Negro Brute.
TAKEN FROM BALTIMORE ON STEAMER
Incensed People of Somerset County Had Threatened to Burn the Condemned Man at the Stake-SheriH Was Prepared to Hang Prisoner on Deck of Vessel If Mob Interfered,

Crisfield, Md, July 27.-William Lee the colored youth who was sentenced to death in Baltimore three weeks ago for assaulting two women in Somerset county who had been threatened with lynching, was hanged Thursday Dy Sheriff Brown on Smiths Island ,in the presence of his deputies and few The mob that had threatened to burn Lee at the stake was completely out witted by the sheriff.
 Lees crime created unprecedented excitement throughout the eastern counties of Maryland and for weeks the popular fury was such that Gov. Warfield deemed it prudent to have him confined in the Baltimore city jail as protection from mob violence. As a further precaution, though it was necessary to carry out the sentence of the law in Somerset county, the scene of the crime, the exact place of execu- tion was kept secret even from those who were to accompany the sheriff and culprit as deputies and witnesses. To carry out this purpose, Sheriff Brown appeared in Baltimore Wednesday af- ternoon late placed his prisoner aboard a steamer of the Maryland Oyster Navy and immediately sailed down the bay He took with him gallows which had been borrowed from Baltimore county and also a coffin and was prepared to hang Lee on the deck of the vessel after reaching the waters of Somerset county should there be any signs of a mob on shore
 At an early hour hour Thursday the steamer appeared off Smiths Island the prisoner was speedily taken ashore and the scaffold erected by carpenter who had been brought from Baltimore for that purpose. The culprit, ac- companied ? by his spiritual adviser was led up the scaffold, the moose was adjusted and the execution was quick ly over. Lee confessed his crime.

roads prevailing at that time which
 was prior to the good roads move ment.
 Arriving at Mena we were driven
 to the old log cabin in Jansen park,
 where the ever genial and jolly Joe
 P. Landes, acting as townsite agent
 and host of the only place to stop at
 except under the spreading arms
 of forest trees, made us welcome,
 first to a supper prepared by his son,
 Will, as chief cook, and a bed on cot in the shed room at the rear.
 And what an outlook. Not drop of rain had fallen in two months,
 "the worst drouth ever known here" the springs and water courses dried up, except the spring in Jans- sen park, which was the center of attraction as a supply for many hun dreds of people and their horses, campers working on the railroad and prospecting for homes. With such an outlook the wonder is and always will be why we decided to locate, only on the theory that there is a des- tiny which shapes our ends,' etc., and in this instance for the good.
 Instead of remaining at the Hotel de Landes, we, the next day, wan- dered away and dined at the Dick over restaurant, which had been hastily established on Front street and which served it's first meal that day. On trying to pay for this dim her we presented the smallest bill we had, something less than 5000, but the cashier was unable to make change. F. M. Reeves was dining at the same table and promptly came to our relief by paying for the din- her, little dreaming that he was casting bread upon the desert sands of the then drouth-stricken country by making it possible to secure a prospective vote for the legislature at next September election.
 We could write more about those but have given enough for our purpose at this time which Is to call attention to the great changes which have taken place in the short ten years which have passed. It is unnecessary to particularize these changes as they are plainly visible to all who will look and see.

PEOPLES HONEY IN BANKS

A dispatch from Washington an nounces that the Secretary of the Treasury has given out a list of western banks that he has desig- mated as government Repositories, among them being one at Tulsa, 1. T., Hutchinson and Wichita, Kas., each to have $50, 900.
 This is a nice thing flor those banks-but again we ask by what principle of right and equity is the peoples money placed in those banks, and many others, free of all cost or interest to them, to be loaned by the banks to their customers at high rates of interest ?
 We are aware that the Star is about the only paper in the state that is kicking about this matter, but we give due notice that we will continue to kick until someone shows us that it is right, or the practice is abolished by Congress.
