Money for the Old Soldiers

The manner of paying pensions in this state has been changed. The money Is now paid in quarterly sums instead of one annual allowance. Some seem to think pensions in this state have been reduced because on Octo- Der 1 the fourth-class pensioner will receive $1250 instead of the $30 he received one year ago. But when the new fiscal year has been completed the fourth-class pensioner will have received $5O and possibly more.
 The pensioners of the state will re- ceive in the coming fiscal year-the year that begins October 1-the re- eelpts from the one-mill tax and $350,- 900 besides The fourth-class pension CTS will receive $12.50 at the begin ming of each of the three first quar- ters of the fiscal year, and If at the beginning of the fourth quarter there Is more than $12.50 per capita in the pension fund, each pensioner will re- ceive his share of the excess besides s12.50. There will be an excess of oney in the pension fund if taxable values are carried uniformly through out the state to GO per cent of market values. The pensioners should watch the action of the state tax commission and of their respective boards of reve- nue. If the tax officials do their duty the fourth-class pensioner will receive more than fifty dollars In the coming fiscal year.

Widespread H0t Wave

All the way from the Rockies to the swish of the Atlantic there is super abundant heat, and that superabund- ance promises to last throughout the present week. Even amid the hills of Jonek Valley the heat has risen to points approaching the century mark, and that mark was reached or crossed at Goodwater, at Macon, and possibly at Montgomery, where the legislators are perSpiring in manner conducive to personal health if not to the welfare of the state.

One Good Jail Out of EiCht

In the last quarter of the fiscal year the state collected as net earnings from convict labor $117S05. This sum does not include the net earnings of county convicts, which may have been as much more.
 But these figures should not blind the people of this state to the treat ment of county convicts or to the con dition of the jails in this state Thus far State Inspector Bragg's report on eight county jails have been laid be- fore the senate, only one of which was found to be in good condition. The Jefferson county jail is, perhaps, the worst of all. The one jail reported in good condition Is that of Baldwin county, where there are few prison CTS.
 The present legislature is so deeply immersed in anti-corporation legisla- tion it has had no time to give to the subject of arrests for misdemeanors and the costs that attend them and the manner of imprisoning the poor aud friendless in this state. The en- tire subject is to be left untouched and wretched, oyercrowded jails will con- tinue to be source of shame to the state.
 The time Is fast coming when there will he a revolution in the manage ment of all convicts in this state, and it should come first and strongest in the arrests of the friendless for mis. demeanors. for there is where abuse of power runs riot

BETTER POSTAL CARDS.
Department Will Improve Quality of
 Paper In Use.

Washington, July A.-(special. )-Better postal cards are coming, also better stamped envelopes will be the rule. The postoffice department demands these inn provements.
 For several months past letters have been received at the postoffice department from all ports of the country complain ing of the quality of paper used for postal cards During that time careful inVestl- gation has been going on under the dlrec- tion of Postmaster General Meyer. AS d result a change has been made in the pus- mess managers of the postal card factory at Rumford Falls, Me, and in the gov ernment agent at that place.
 1Gxperiments are now in progress with a view to improving greatly the postal card paper stock, as the postmaster gen eral has determined to remove all Just cause for complaint. He announces, now ever, that 1t will take some little time owing to the fact that the present stock of postal cards in postoffices must De worked off before the new supplies can be furnished to the public. The quality or paper for stamped envelopes will also be better.

Affairs In Korea

Abdication of unacceptable Emperors has long been a favorite political method in Korea, but heretofore the deposed ruler has been poisoned. Un- der the guidance of Marquis Ito of Japan there is to be no tragedy in Korea this time. The old Emperor steps down and out, going peaceably into exile with full pockets.
 The new Emperor, the former crown prince, is now on the throne and peace and tranquility are now becoming features in the land of the morning freshness. The markets are again open, and so are the theatres and if the Koreans have 5-cent shows they, too, are attracting passers-by by inviting strains of music.
 There Is only one thing strange in all this, namely, the free hand that victory lends to Japan in the manage men of Korea. No nation desires to limit the scope or course of her action. No nation protests. No nation has a word to say. No country moves a step No one not even w. T. Stead, rise to remark.
 The truth Is. Japan is setting up a Monroe doctrine in the Orient, and she has as good a right to do that as we have to set up one in the countries to the south of us. Japan's para mouncy in China Is not yet recog nized, and possibly will not be, simply because China will in the course of ten more years be able to defend her self against the rapacity and aggres- sion of the western robbers.
 From a humanitarian point of view the security of the vast populations In the Orient against the west Is grandly benevolent, for it means that untold millions are to live lives of happiness and contentment untouched by meth ods of force. Whatever western ways they may assimilate will come to them quietly, peaceably and voluntarily. This, is as it should be. And Japanese victories on land and sea did it.

Harlan, Ky, July 24.-Stoned to death as if punished by the mode of execu- ton hundreds of years ago is the horrible fate that befell Joseph Turner, aged II year, son of Justice Samuel Turner of Williams Creek. this county.
 The lad. with a number of his com rades, were swimming yesterday in Cumberland river and began throwing sand at one another They became an gry and changed from sand to stones. A crowd of boys led by Thomas Simp- son, aged 13, picked out young Turner and began stoning him until he was mashed almost literally to pieces. lie was carried home barely breathing and died last night.

from the women of the land more money, and so the price of a spool was first jumped to cents, and now extortion of the Dingley sort is de- manding 10 cents from every pur- chaseN of a spool of thread. The Amer lean Thread company monopolizes within the Dingley wall the thread production in this country, and it is owned and managed by foreigners. A domestic trust is galling enough, but an alien trust under the fostering wing of Dingleyism is worse, and this is what every woman has to contend with today. Some women feel it keen- ly-for example, the garment workers in our large cities, whose earnings have ever been small. These women buy their own thread, and the coin which once bought two spools now buys but one.
 It is idle to say that the advance in raw cotton justifes any advance in the retail price of a spool of thread. Improved processes of manufacture and monopoly sales affect the advance in the cost of raw material. The long and short of the matter Is, there is no competition, and a spool of thread shows what Dingleyism and an alien trust are capable of

The beauties of Dingleyism, with it's sneak methods of taxation, are exem- plified in the price of spool cotton thread. The Dingley wall keeps out foreign-made spools of thread, and the combine within the wall Is exploiting home consumers unmercifully.
 The price of a spool of thread had long stood at cents. It was sup, posed to be as fixed as a street car fare or the price of glass of beer each and all standing at cents. But the combine concluded it could collect

He was carried in Lige Loy's ambulance to Copelands infirmary. where the man. gled arm was amputated.
