litlcal grslfters feel secure, because
they know the wealthy are as deeply
involved as they, and they think
wealth will, protect them to protect
itself. San francisco, apparently, is
about to add her examples to those
of st. Louis.
These millionaires Of San Francis
co are guilty OF a graver crime than
that of merely bribing men to dis
regard their duty They are guilty
of treason, loathsome, cowarjly
treason. We have much more respect
for the assassin, who Turks in the
dark to STAY his victim, that for the
coward, who hires him to do 1t. We
have more respect for Benedict Ar
mold, who deliberately betrays his
country through pique, than for a
San Francisco millionaire. who not
only sells his country. but sells his
children's birthright of freedom for a
franchise pottage. The former is a
|thin-skinned aristocrat. The latter is
a fool, as well as a villain.

FouNp HIs SKULL onooKnD.
And the Halter Lost One of His Best
Customers.

"The machine that measures heads
when hats are to be accurately fitted
gives surprising revelations regard
ing the shape of peoples skulls"
says a Sixth street halter to st.
Louis Globe Democrat reporter.
Ordinarily an odd shaped skull
must be very badly formed indeed
before 1t attracts attention, for the
flesh and hair make all skulls seem
of the same shape. except when a
mans head is very long or very
round. but the machine has little
sections, fitting closely to the skull,
and reproducing in dotted lines on a
piece of paper, the exact outline. The
ideal form of the skull is almost an
oval, and we usually think of it as of
that shape, 80 that when men come
in and have their heads measured
for hat, they often look very much
disguised to find that their brain
pans have a lump on one side or a
hole on the other, or are about twice
as thick behind the ears as they are
across the forehead.

merchant, who insisted on having
his skull measured and his hat fitted
He had been buying hats of me for
ten years, and always had trouble
with new hat, until it fitted itself
TO the shape of his head. One day he
saw the machine and determined to
be measured and fitted. l tried to
jolly him out of the notion, for
knew there must be something out
landish in the shape of his Uranium,
and was afraid he would get angry,
but he wouldn't be jollied, so at last
measured him, and of all the shapes
you ever saw that was about the
worst.

THE PRICE OF TREASON.

In the news that six milllonaires
are numbered among those indicted
for bribery in San Francisco we finl
hope and encouragement for the
work of reform. Not that we har'bor
any malice toward the very rich as a
class, not that we have any feeling
that would prompt us to see anyone
punished merely because he is thrift
ty. not even, because we think the
very rich deserve some rebuke; but
because in the very nature of the
offense with which Ruef and Schmtz
are charged, some great private in
terests and some wealthy private cit
liens must be involved in a still high
or degree.
No doubt the cities are full of
matchmaking politicians, who attain
power for no reason other than to
''hold-up" corporations and wealthy
citizens and compel them to ransom
their interests from persecution.
But, If this is true, it is simply the
old, old story Of sowing the wind
and reaping the whirlwind." Politico
legal departments have been en-
ployed to nominate and elect to Office
men, who are susceptible to brides.
Professional lobbyists have been re-
tanned to purchase advantages and
immunities for special interests. All
have not been guilty, but all have
suffered. Lobbyists, as thrifty as their
employers. have turned politicians,
acquired power with the money fur
nished by the interests, and now levy
tribute on their former masters, not
only for advantageous legislation,
but even for freedom from Legislative
abuse.
Unfortunately too many of these
interests have submitted to the ex-
tortion. If now the heads of some OF
them must go to the penltentiary for
their share in this reasonable con-
duct, well and good. the prison will
become the more famous for such H.
lustrious associations.
No man and no interest need
ever stoop to the depths of bribery
to secure justice and all that right.
fully belongs to him. Direct. honest
appeal to the public will gain all that
is due. It is only for special advant'
ages and discriminating immunity
that the price has TO be paid; and
some of San Francisco's millionairei
are learning now that the price is not
measured in dollars and cents. There
Is an offended God and an offended
country to be reckoned with, besides
the Ruefs and the Schmitz's.
Did the wealthy interests refuse tc
be a party to the crime. there would
be no such debauchery in our mu.
nicipal politics. and it is only a mat
ter of time when the parasite Of de-
bauchery born in our municipal poll
tics. will extend to state and ma

A LESSON IN PATRIOTISM.

Perhaps. even those who did 1t,
did not realize the immediate effect
of their conduct at the time, but when
the children in festival chorus sang
the national anthem and the audi
ence in the grand stand stood up with
heads uncovered, it was an object
lesson in patriotism that must have
impressed the singers These out
ward tokens OF respect for country
and reverence for religion are appar-
emily little things, but they indicate
the sentiment that lives in the
heart. There can be no true patriot
nsm that doesn't venerate the coun-
try and all that pertains to 1t. The
time to teach that sentiment is in
youth. When those boys and girls
learn to attach a sentiment to the
national anthem, that makes their
hearts throb at it's sound and makes
them fight for the honor of the nag,
then they have true patriotism. We
did not fight and suffer to win free
dom and we don't half appreciate IT,;
but we of the great Mississippi val
ley have a duty in patriotism to per-
form in this and the next generation
as important as the war waged by
patriots of the revolution. We have
no foreign foe to meet, but we have
predatory wealth on the one hand,
and the mob on the other, and be-
tween these two forces. both equally
inimical to our institutions, we. must
take our stand with the flag and free
dom. and teach our children the pa
triotism OF unselfish devotion to the
honor of our country.

THE VALUE OF INTERNATIONAL
EMINENT DOMAIN.

Interesting suggestions always crop
out at the meetings of the American
Bar Association. One which was put
forth by the dean OF the Iowa Uniyer-
sity Law School, at the recent meeting
In Portland, Me-, Is that countenance
he given 10 the idea of international
eminent domain. In certain conditions
OF state and municipal life the law
permits the taking of land or other
possessions, even from owners who are
unwilling 10 sell, provided that the
seizure be for public benefit. No such
doctrine has ever been maintained as
between nations. The professors sus-
gestlon IL that when world needs de-
mand the use Of certain territory for
world purposes, as the Isthmus of
Panama for canal, an international
court, having determined the need,
shall give the right to the power or
powers It may delegate to take posses
sion Of the territory. Many situations
especially some concerning public
health, arise In which such a right
would be Of great value.
