THE Bondman" has been running

Lonion, and Is undoubtedly the great
est Of all the Hall Gaines successes.
VIM. a. Brady obtained the American
rights OF the play because Hall Caine
believed Wilton Lackaye was the one
man in America to do fill justice to
the character Of '"Jason. the princi.

Torrance in America was given at the
Olympic Theater, St. Louis. on Sept.
18th and the press criticisms that have
already reached this city prove con.
cfnstvety that THE Bondman" Is a
dramatic sensation and that Wilton
I.ackaye has scored his biggest hit
since his Svengali. In addition the pro.
ductlon has created much comment OF
the magnificence OF the scenic effects.
The play is produced in four acts with
seven scenes, all (which are Of elab.
crate character. Three OF the scenes
are laid IN the Isle Of Man and four
In the Island Of Sicily. The story OF
the play follows closely upon the au-
ithor's book OF the same name, which
is well known, which was written
some fifteen years ago. when Hall

veloDs remarkable human interest. It

HOW HE SOAKED THE PUBLIC.

MIR. HARTMAN, who has been testfying
4 about railroad secrets before the Inter
State Commerce Commission. is most remark
able captain of fine and high finance. Perhaps
his equal has never been seen-certainly not his
superior His plan, as revealed on the stand,
was to get control of one railroad issue bonds,
increase its capital stock to any figure that suit
ed his fancy, dispose of the stock and bonds and
with the proceeds buy another railroad and re-
peat the same process, It worked as sort of
endless chain and Mr.. Hartman and his friends
by these methods control larger mileage of rail-
roads than any similar group Of financiers in the
world Mr. Hartman has finally concluded TO
stop. lie tells the commission SO. lle is not
sure that he continue his tactics without
coming in conflict with the laws of his country
Mr.. Harrimans methods however, have proved
very profitable. They have cleared him and his
friends a cool sixty-ope million dollars. The
small stockholders have been frozen out by the
Hartman operation. Sixty millions of watered
stock have been charged against one railroad
company alone Much OF this stock has been
sold by the railroad companies to Mr., Hartman
and his friends themselves at a low figure as
underwriters and has been resold to the public
at handsome profit His theory was that a
railroad company should charge all it could get.
Under the Hartman system the rates Of the
railroads under his control will have 10 be gov
erned towards meeting the interest expenses on
watered stock Hence if we hear that the Harri-
man railroads arc not prosperous the cause will
not be hard to find. Increased wages to en-
ployes cannot be given as an excuse for the non
prosperity Of railroad companies that are run on
the Hartman principle.

wHERE is TREAsuRY WATcH-poe1

a PPARENTLY there is not a very alert
L watchdog Of the treasury at Washing
ION. The governments appropriation budget is
swelling enormously Chairman Tawney of the
Committee on Appropriations declares this Con-
gress will be billion dollar one with probable
deficit OF one hundred millions, but he has no
word of criticism for the House Different is it
from the days of Holman and Randall, and even
Speaker Cannon, who as a matter OF form, il for
no other reason, always barSed in guarding the
treasury. 1t was in the Harrison administration
that the first million dollar Congress appeared
and there was nervous apprehension that the
country, governmentally speaking was living be-
yond its means Now there is a billion dollar
appropriation for one year, which approximately
is equal to the expenditures for two Congresses
some fifteen years ago.
The expenses of the government however,
have increased more than the per capita of the
national wealth. The per capita annual expen-
dture in 1900 was nearly s., while now it is es-
timated at S1o Some statsticians estimate that
the average income of a family in this country is
only $500 yearly, which would make two per
cent. Of the income expended by the national gov
eminent State, county and local taxes arc es-
timatcd at another two per cent, so that the gov
ernment takes four per cent. Of the nations in
come for its support The country has great re-
sources and there has been no loud protest
against the taxes. This is due largely to the fact
that most Of the revenue obtained for govern
mental purposes is an indirect tax.
The great increase in the expenditures of the
government is causing consideration by students
of economies Desire for additional revenue may
be the mpelling force that has caused President
Roosevelt to advocate an inheritance tax all
though a noted French writer has declared that
The higher taxation in these times is levied with
the idea Of compelling wealth to pay more large
ly rather than the mere gathering in Of revenue

ROCKEFELLER HEEDs THE COURT

MR. ROCKEFELLER at last has paid at
4 tention to the court proceedings at Find
lay, Ohio, that have been brought against him
and the other magnates of the Standard Oil trust.
He is wanted there under one Of the government
prosecutions for conspiracy in restraint Of trade
To make the government feel sure he is about,
the Standard Oil man has actually given him a
bond for $1,000. Only trihe compared with the
thirty-two millions that he has given to The
cause of education It is estimated that the adj
vance in the price of kerosene nets Mr. Rookie
feller more than $1,000 in profits every quarter OF
an hour through the day If Mr.. Rockefeller
should forfeit his Ohio bond he would not have
to seek refuge in an institution for the poor. But
should he appear in court, as probably he will
do, Ohio and the country will be furnished with
a new sensation.

There has been another twist in the canal Sit
uation in Panama, and the government has now
determined to supervise the work itself through
the army engineers. There has been much doubt
about the wisdom of the proposed contracting
system. The examination of the subject has led
the President and the government officials to be-
lievc that better financial arrangements can be
made than were contemplated by the contract
method Chief Engineer Stevens has resigned
for reasons that are not clear to the general pub
lie. The President and his cabinet have the
causes that led to the resignation and the secret
may become public. It is probable however,
that the President will no longer consider the
placing OF civilian engineer in charge of the
work

We have no hesitancy in saying that the Leg
isature will make great mistake if it passes that
road loan bill for even a reduced amount. There
is a we'll founded suspicion in connection with
the history of the bill and the progress it has al
ready made in the Legislature that there is
"ngger in the woodpile." Those who will have
the money to spend are strangely anxious to get
the large Of money in their hands if it be the
intention to give the county 100 cents of value
for every dollar expended. The safe way for the
Legislature to proceed is TO apply the referen-
dun to the measure. Then if the people want it,
all right; if they don't want it, the Legislature
should not force it on them.
