A Striking Figure.

A most picturesque and striking
figure of the parade this afternoon
was the Grand Marshal Ferguson.
Swathed in multi-colored badges and
bandages, mounted ON an attenuated
cayuse and wearing a straw hat and
a pipe-his trusty six-shooter pro-
truding from its accustomed hiding
place, he was indeed an impressive
spectacle. At his approach the cow

uneclipsed even by the band and the

the powers of his appointee, the
excise commissioner, for the pur-
pose of encouraging and e~nlarging
the liquor traffic? Aye, for the
purpose of coercing and compel
ling the dealers in Intoxicating
liquors to obey his political bid
ding. When there is coupled with
this power the right to inaugurate
a movement to remove local ofic-
ers, that power can be so abused
as to intimidate and coerce the
officers elected by local COM
munities, two propositions in
yolving a manipulating of the
chief executive of the State.
"Such laws are fraught with
manifold dangers. They will
largely increase the temptation for
the brewer and distiller and retail
liquor dealer to actively interest
himself in the selection of State
officers. Such laws will create a
machine which, under our new
primary law, will give to the cam
didate, who has the backing of
these interests, a most substantial
advantage. 1t, will enable the
chief executive by a simple hint,
not to say order, to set to work an
army of men who with their direct
adherents, probably number not
less than sixty or seventy thou
sands,) will render effectual SER
vice in every community in the
State. Such laws will enable the
levying of an enormous campaign
contribution, and it will, as l have
said, extend into the State those
powers which have been grossly
abused in the great cities.
81 am opposed to Capitalization
of power, not because of any con"
dition which may exist to-day,
but because if the power be once
created, it will exist in all prob
ability for many years to come.
"That it will be abused is as
certain as that time will run on,
and that men will continue to be
selfish, or to be ignorantly mis-
taken. l am opposed to these
propositions because | believe and
l know that the people of the
several communities of the State
of Missouri are wise enough,
patriotic enough, virtuous enough,
to manage their own affairs in the
future as they have in the past in
the interest of good government
and decency, and the glory and
splendor of our State"

Excise and Quo Warranto Bills.

Speaking Of the Excise and Quo
Warranto Bills, to enact which the
Legislature has been called in ex-
traordinary session, Ex-Mayor
James A. Reed of Kansas City
voices a few thoughts we'll to con-
slider: "Two grave reasons exist
why such legislation should never
deface u statute books:
"First, local communities COM
posed, as every local community
OF the State of Missouri is COM
posed, of decent, intelligent, law
abiding people, r better quail
fed to judge as to their wants than
any one individual, no matter how
great or how wise he may be.
Therefore, though his intentions
may be of the most honest and
patriotic, his judgment is not to be
set up against the united Judgment
OF the people of any community Of
the State.
Second, if. the power is given
for the purpose Of s~uppressing or
regulating the liquor traffic, what
assurance have we that the power
will always be SO exercisedp Who
shall guarantee that a chief OK
ecutive may not arise, who, from
belief OF interest, will zee ft to use

THE Ironton REGISTER intimates
that the Journal is warped in its
fairness to E. G.. Lewis because
the editor holds a federal office,
and thus dare not criticise the
powers that be for their "injustice"
to Lewis. Our job as postmaster
has never yet interfered in the
free, untrammeled expression of
our opinion whenever we have
found occasion to express it, ana
for this reason we have not wasted
any sympathy upon Lewis in his
fluctuations with the post-office
authorities. Most editors sympa-
thize with him because he is in the
newspaper business. We take the
side of the government because we
hold that it has the same right to
confine Lewis to the rules regulat-
ing the use of the mails under the
second-class privileges as it has to
confne the Journal, or the REGIS
TER, too, for that matter, to them.
Lewis, as we view it, is merely a
publisher as an incident to using
the mails for Lewis gain. We are
fair, not sloppy.-Potosi Journal.
All, my brother, we more easily
deceive ourselves than we deceive
others. Hampered by interest or
favor, we are blinded though we
may not perceive or acknowledge
it. A few months ago a ''fraud
ORDER was issued against Lewis
Peoples Bank, and in consequence
the institution was thrown into the
hands of a receiver. 1t paid out
dollar for dollar to stockholders
and depositors. Can you name as
a certainty another st. Louis or
Chicago or New York bank that
could have done so well under the
same circumstances? The Mis-
souri, Supreme Court has declared
there was no cause for the pro-
ceedure. Can you, my brother,
conceive of anything more out
rageously unjust than that ''fraud
order" and the proceedings re-
sultant? Was not here cause for
criticism of and comment upon the
conditions responsible for the OPP
preston? 1t is a matter that con-
Germs every citizen, since the same
power that did this oppression
may at any time wreak it's venge-
ance upon other defenseless and
unoffending victims. The charge
es made in order to procure a
fraud ORDER are made secretly,
so far as the victim is concerned.
He is tried and condemned en- parte,

him to Hades incontinent, without
chance for reform or reparation?
Do you approve of these things
and hold that it is Hsloppy" to de-
nounce such law and methods of
procedure in free America? To
me an officiali is not God Almighty,
immaculate, omnipotent and ON
niscient, but merely a public SER

and pay him, he ought to be i'm

vincial superior of the Society of the
Divine Savior, came to Los Angeles
from the state of Washington to ar,
range to accept Bishop Conaty's in
Vitation to establish house In this
diocese.
There are 200 Polish families In Los
Angeles who have been cared for some
time by Rev. V. Organisciak, S. d. s.,
who has held services in the cathedral
hall. Father Organisciak will have
charge of the work to be undertaken.
and will be Joined by other priests of
the order when the monastery Is COM
pleted.
Since his arrival in the diocese little
more than three years ago 1t has been
the aim of Bishop Conaty to care for
each nationality and to secure priests
to them. The work to be undertaken
in the near future Is in line with that
mapped out by the bishop some time
ago. Since the services have oeen held
for the Polish people much interest has
been manifested. The property pur-
chased Cor the new work was secured
at the cost of $4,000.
The order of the Society of the Divine
Savior, which will have charge OF the
work, was instituted in Rome IN 1880
by Father Jordan, who is at present
father general in Rome. There are
houses of the order in Austria. Italy,
relgium, England, South America md
East India. The order is for religious
work among all nationalties and las

leges, and was first established in
America in Vancouver Washington, IN

Wisconsin conducted by priests of the
I order.
