For killing 1900 elk two men were
found guilty and fined in the federal
court in Pocatello. Idaho. says Col
Tiers. One of them. when arrested.
was carrying bag containing 275
elk teeth. and had recently sold as
many more. His foreflnger was cal
loused from pulling the trigger The
carcasses Of the dead elk were allowed
to rot after the teeth were pulled. AS
to these men, this is. of course, mere
ly an isolated example Of depravity
No sort of ethical appeal can reach
them. But how about that order,
whose agents they were. and which
paid them $4,000 for the teeth to use
as ornaments and Insignia The grand
exalted ruler of the order has advised
its members to discontinue the use Of
emblems that involve not only a vio-
lation of law but an outrage against
sentiment. and the approaching con-
vention at Philadelphia will do we'll
to give emphatic sanction to that adj
vice.

GOOD WORK.

The manner in which life and prop
erty was protected in Minneapolis on
the Fourth of July was so noticeab BILE
as to cause general comment. Mayor
Haynes and his police department are
entitled to and are receiving great
credit for the effective work done.
That the work was accomplished with
out any flourish or without any great
effort does not detract from the credit
due. Thinking people realize that the
object of government. especially n1u-
nicipal government. is to so conduct
affairs that people can live in safety
and have their property protected.
Some times this perfectly apparent
purpose is lost sight Of and admin
istrations are given up to reforming
morals or promoting the building up
Of political machines. Administra-
lions often travel under the name Of
a business administration, whose chief
business is promoting the political
ambitions Of mayor.
Never before in Minneapolis has
there been such thoroughly enjoya BILE
Fourth Of July. and one so free from
horrifying accidents and distressing
noises. 1t is safe to say that there
was not another city in the United
States of the size Of Minneapolis
where the Fourth passed With as few
casualties as there were in Minneapo-
lis. All this was done without in any
degree lessening the celebration Of the
day. On the other hand the substi-
tutes provided more than filled the
place Of the things prohibited The
observance Of the Fourth OF July in
Minneapolis in 1907 has set standard
which others in the future must fol-
low if they would earn the gratitude
of the people.

Hughes great deal better and in
deed there is reason for believing that
Hughes has more real strength

The Irish standard., 1907-07-13

A man who is weak enough to COM
nit. a crime is most always detected
because of some other weakness.
Runyan the defaulting clerk who took
100000 from the Windsor Trust Co.,
has been caught because he had to
tell someone about his stealing. This
man who was entrusted with large
amount of money was so weak that
he took 1t in order to gamble and
after he did this he was so vain and
boastful that he had to tell a woman
about what he had done and give her
part of the stolen money and she,
weak enough to take it, was also
weak enough so that when she quar-
relied with her friend she straightway
went to the police and gave him up.
It is the same old story about muir
der will out" The murderer must go
back to the scene of his crime He
must talk to someone about it and
get caught. It is natures way Of pro-
tecting the human family against
criminals.
