Salaries and The Fee System o.
Public Officials.

Public Officials.
N. o. Pfcayune
The Picayune has long held
that all public political officials
should be compensated for their
services by fixed salaries. To
allow them to pay themselves
with fees dependent upon the
business of their Offices creates
an element of uncertainty in the
taxes laid on the people and in
the public money handled. which
should not exist in q representa-
tive democratic-republican sys-
tenn. The people should know
in every case what they are pay
ing their public servants. and
there should be no temptation to
officials to exact more than is
right.

MORE REBATES BY
STANDARD OIL
FEDERAL JUDGE HAZEL OF NEW
YORK MAY HAVE oPPoRTUNI-
TY TO DUPLICATE JUDGE LAM
Dis BIG FINE.

| ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Nov. g
Should the Standard Oil company and
Its subsidiary company, the Vacuum
OIL company of Rochester, be found
guilty at the trial this month of the
charges of accepting rebates on the
shipments of oil from Clean. NJ Y. TO
points in Vermont, over the New York
Central and Pennsylvania railroads,
they will doubtless be fined
by Federal Judge Hazel the maximum
on each count, which will aggregate
$9,12O,O0O. The two accused railroad
companies may be fined a like sum
reckoned on the basis of two indict-
ments against them Jointly and two
separately, the latter containing 1873
counts in one and 40 in the other.
These indictments, based upon al
legged violations of the Elkins law,
were handed to Judge Hazel by the
federal grand jury which spent sew
eral weeks in considering the evidence
brought against the four corporations.
The jury held that the connecting lines
in Vermont were not parties to the al
legged rebate arrangement The indict
ments are found on shipments of oil
from August 1904, to June, 1905. 22s
cars in ALL
1t is alleged that the lawful shipping
rate from clean to Vermont points
was made up by two legally filed
schedules of rates by the railroad
companies, one from Clean to Nor
wood, VT the other from Norwood to
point of destination. The schedule
filed with the interstate commerce
commission showed the rate from
Olean to Burlington, VT, to be 26h
cents per 100, while the Standard Oil
and Vacuum companies were given a
rate of 11.S cents. The independent
dealer was, therefore, obliged to pay
more than double the rate charged the
oil trust.
In addition to these indictments
against the Standard Oil company
there are 144 other counts in indict-
ments returned here last year, when
the New York Central was fined $15.-
900 by Judge Hazel for giving rebates
on oil shipments. These, in the event
of guilt and the imposition of the max
imum fine, will bring the total which
the Standard Oil will be assessed up
to round $12,OO0,OOO. Not taking into
account the Rochester Indictments,
the net result on conviction in respect
to the counts returned in August
would be on maximum fines $4,000. 900
for the Standard and Vacuum and
$12,l2O,OO0 for the New York Central
and Pennsylvania, a total of $24,-
240, 900.

PICKING Cranberry Crop.

BOSTON, Nov. 1.-THE million
bushels of cranberries needed as sauce
for the Thanksgiving turkey are now
being harvested. The crop this year
has been fair one and there is little
prospect of a famine. The earliest
cranberries are grown in the vicinity
of Cape Cod, where picking began in
September. The tart red berries are
also produced in Michigan, Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Iowa, as we'll as in
nearly all the Eastern and New Eng
land states. The greater portion of the
crop is consumed in November, New
York city alone requiring 5000
bushels to satisfy It's voracious appe-
tite.
The cranberry had its American ORR
gin at Cape Cod. From this point it
has spread all over the United States.
Sand any peaty ground are required
for its culture. The place where the
cranberry grows to perfection is
known as a marsh or bog, from the
fact that 1t must be low land arranged
with a system of sluices similar to
those used for the irrigation of arid
land in the West.

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 2.-ohio will
hold her first election next Tuesday
under the new law, which separates
municipal elections from state and ma
tional elections, and local issues
therefore, alone engage the attention
or the voters and the difficulty OF
forecasting results is increased by the
fact that in municipal elections the
Ohio voter exercises his independence
to a great degree and casts aside his
political affiliations.
In Cleveland the mayoralty contest,
which overshadows every other con-
sideration there, is stirring and ag-
gressive. Mayor Tom L. johnson, the
democratic nominee, is up for re-
election for the fourth time and has
for his opponent Theodore E Burton,
who resigned seat in congress to
enter the contest. If Burton should
win it would make him formidable
candidate for governor and increase
his chances for succeeding Foraker in
the United States senate. A victory
for Johnson might likewise have far
reaching results, as it would probably
make him a possibility for the demo-
cratic presidential nomination.
The contest for the mayoralty in
Cincinnati is one of the most exciting
that has taken place in that city in a
number of years. Mayor Edward l..
Dempsey, democrat, is a candidate for
reelection. A considerable element of
the democratic party, however, was
the naming of an independent ticket
headed by Frank L. Pfaff as the candi-
ocratic ranks is expected to result in
the election of the republican candi-
date, Colonel Leopold Markbreit. Col
Markbreit is editor of the Cincinnati
Volksblatt and it is expected he will
receive virtually the entire German
American vote.
The enforcement of the Sunday and
midnight closing of saloons law is the
issue in Columbus. For the first time
in it's history the local democratic par
ty has presented a candidate and plat
form, unequivocally for the enforce
ment of these laws, and the continual
ton of the lid" policy of the present
mayor, a democrat. 1t was he who
made the issue and his party endorses
it as being in line with the sentiment
of the people. The republican candi-
date for mayor and his party managers
have not specifically declared for the
suppression of saloons on Sunday and
their antagonists declare they are be-
ing backed by the brewery and liquor
interests of Columbus. 1t Is uncertain
whether to predict democratic gain
or loss in Columbus. The party has
made a vigorous fight and claim that
their ticket will be elected by a sub
stantial majority The campaign is to
come to a close tonight with a great
public meeting in Memorial hall at
which Governor Folk of Missouri will
be the speaker
The situation in Toledo is compli-
Gated by the introduction of an indie
pendent movement, headed by Brand
Whitlock, the present mayor. Both

In Rhode Island.

PROVIDENCE, r. 1, Nov. 2.-The
present campaign in Rhode Island has
been to considerable extent a dupIi-
cation of that of last year when James
Higgins, a democrat, was elected. He
has made popular governor, has been
renominated, and the indications are
that he probably will be reelected.
The republican candidate is Freder-
lex II jackson, the present lieutenant
governor of the state. The republicans
while not sure of the governorship
are confident of electing the remainder
of their ticket.

NEW YORK, June 6-James Coyle,
a keeper in the Central Park Zoo, was
badly injured by Dewey, a big lion,
last night Coyle, while at work in
the lion house, placed his right hand
on the bars of Dewey's cage. Like a

The lion ripped the Keepers arm with
his claws. Coyle braced himself and
succeeded in getting free of the lions
grasp by the time help arrived. Dew
ey had bitten off his little finger at
the second joint.
Coyle was taken to the Presbyte-

after, his arm had been cauterized.

NEW TERRITORY
SCANDAL

MUSKOGEE, /. T., June 9.--A new
territory scandal is on the tapis and
will develop next week when, it is
said. suits charging land frauds VIII
be filed here by an agent OF the In
terror Department against many per-
sons prominent in the political life
of the two territories.
W. l.. Sturtevant, of St Louis, who
has been appointed special townsite
attorney by Secretary GARFIELD to act
in connection with M. l.. Mott, Ma
tional Attorney for the Creek Nation,
arrived here last night and gave out
statement to the effect that suits
would be filed Immediately on the
part of the Federal Government act
ing with conspiracy to defraud score
or more of persons prominent in
Muskogee. Tulsa and Wagner and
also against two National Banks.
Mr.. Sturtevant is quoted as saying
he would prosecute the cases to the
limit forcing the holders OF the prop
erty alleged to have been fraudulently
acquired, to transfer it back to the
Creek Nation or pay to the Creek Ma
ton the present cash value of the lots.
The arrival of Mr.. Sturtevant and his
declared statement of prosecution, has
caused a sensation.
The general charge that will be
made is that the defendants had lots
scheduled to other persons and that
the defendants paid the appraised gov
eminent valuation and then had the
lots decided back to them by the dunn
mics without consideration. The lots
scheduled in this way cost those who
secured them only fifty per cent Of the
regular appraisement and the fraill
comes in the practice of thus schedul.
ing lots in excess of what the law
allowed the defendants to hold.

A NEW USE
FOR M. DIS

RAYMOND Hitchcock, the comedian,
who is now on a starring tour through
the west. was recently invited as the
guest of honor to the Country Club,
about FIVE miles outside of San Fran
cisco. after the performance. AS Mr..
Hitchcock knew from previous ex'
perience that a cabman would ask 2
fortune to carry him out to the club.
he looked up the address OF a physi-
clan near the theater, and after the
close OF the show he went around and
rang the bell. The doctor opened the
door personally, and Hitchcock said
Doctor, you're wanted immed'
lately out near the country club. Can
you come right away?"
Certainly, sir. Just step inside for
a moment while phone for my auto
Well be there in jiffy."
1t was a good five miles to the Coull-

Of suburban homes.

TO PRESERVE
CUT FLOWERS

Place bell glass over them, but II
required for the table, gum the petals
to the calyx; this holds them several
DAYS. The freshness of cut flowers
may be greatly prolonged by keeping
them in tea water; tea leaves that
have been previously used will make
sufficiently strong infusion for the
purpose. Tepid tea water will rapidly
revive flowers that have been keeps
without water, as they are when sent
by post or train. Flowers that are
slightly faded should never be put in
cold water at all, as the GOODNESS rap
idly kills them.
Ferns and flowers in pots watered
with tea water are generally oene-
fitted and it's effect on the growth and
health of the maiden hair fern is very
remarkable, says Woman's Life. Gov
err the flowers with glass vase and
keen them as much as possible from
exposure to the air or draughts, es-

GOVERNMENT
is ANNOYED
OFFICIALS ARE GETTING TIRED
or THE KICKS or THE JAPAN
ESE REGARDING THE
TROUBLES IN SAN
FRANCISCO.

CHICAGO, June IA dispatch 10
the Tribune from Washington. d. c.
says:
There is beginning TO be manifested
here a distinct feeling of irritation
against an apparent disposition on the
part of certain people in Japan to mag
Nifty molehills into mountains, and to
persist in an endeavor to precipitate
trouble between, this country and ia
pan.
For months the state department
has been extremely tender of the sus-
capabilities of the japanese. Ever
since the president went out of his
way to settle the school question in
California, which was. strictly speak
ing, entirely beyond the province OF
the federal government, there has
been a manifest disposition on the
part of certain public men in Japan
to criticise the United States. and to
complain about all sorts of little
things. The japanese consul in San
Francisco and the ambassador in
Washington are perfectly well aware
that conditions exist in San Francis
co which are wholly unusual, and are
beyond control of the state authorities,
TO say nothing of the nation.
1t spite of this, reports continue to
come from Japan like the cabled inter-
view with Count Okuma, in which
reference is made in serious fashion
to the anti-Japanese outrages in San
Francisco.
The government here is being an
noyed at these repeated complaints
about petty crimes and insults against
the Japanese. They have the same
rights in San Francisco that Ameri-
cans have.
