charges and give the officer an OPP
portunity to be heard. But the re-
moval should not be limited to acts
which constitute crime or Involve
moral turpitude. We do not want our
offices conducted by men who simply
keep within the penal code and do not
outrage the moral sentiment of the
community.
Now that is the kind of talk, fol-
lowed by action complementary TO IL
that in this day of awakened public m
terest, puts men in line for the presi-
dency. Hughes struck another chord
that falls agreeably upon the public
ear. 1t is not enough that an official
refrain from putbreaking graft and
pillage; not enough that he sit tight
and draw his pay and emoluments. He
must do something, be something, Of
fer some reason for keeping him. II he
won't or can't run he must get out or
the way.and let someone run who can.
He has struck the keynote Of good cit
izenship. 1t will not suffice that a man
keep out of the penitentiary. He must
pay his public debt of usefulness for
the privilege of living among men.
In the present temper of public sem
timent Governor Hughes OF New York
is by no means outside the presidential
possibilities

IF the bank directors lived Up TO
their sworn duty and if the bank ex-

enacted that would require examiners
to call upon two of the directors to
assist in making each examination,
taking different directors each time,
there could be no such disastrous fall

THE REAL THING IN GOVERNORS.

The past few years have been prolific
of real men in the executive chairs Of
the various states. Folk, Van SAINT, La
Toilette, Guild, Cummins, and others,
and last, Governor Hughes Of New
York He seems also to be the real
thing in executives, the kind the peo-g
pie are looking for and anxious to APP
prove and promote. Hughes says and
does bold things, uncommon things, In
politics. When he has a place to fill
he finds the man to fill it without con-
sulting the bosses of the ward or the
state. When he has an official de-
capitation in mind the first intimation
to the bosses Is when the head rolls in
the basket and protest is past. When
he talks he says things and is anxious
to do the things he says he would do

ACCEPTING MINING ADVERTISING.

Ihe IlmeS-Re publican received 8
letter of inquiry this week from a re-
liable advertising agency asking wheth-
err this newspaper would accept adver-
tisements Of mining stock. In view oil
the fact that newspapers generally
make a business of hustling for the
privilege of ';iccepting'' advertise
ments, the note of doubt contained In
the inquiry furnishes text for an ex-
PLANTATION which may be of value to the
public. The letter went on to describe
the bonafide character of the securities
which 1t was proposed to advertise and
stated that they would be listed on the
New York and F;oston exchanges soon.
The Times Republican replied that
when the stock had been listed on the
recognized exchanges, its advertising
would be accepted but not before.
4 Now, why was this distinction made ?
Just this. At present the country is
full Of mining stock swindles which are
fraudulent from their very inception.
Many have not the sign OF mine
among their assets and dividends are
actually paid frem the sale Of stock up
to, the point of making off with the
swag when the promoters disappear.
Others are llypothecated On worn out
holes in the ground for the purpose of
quilting the public with stock offered
by means of advertising. The T.-R.
does not purpos. to become a party to
the swindle If 1t can be helped inc
fact that securities are listed on the
Boston and New York exchanges is no
guarantee that they are good invest
ments but it is guarantee that some
effort has been made to examine into
them and 1t is a fact that all legitimate
securities woul6, be listed there. 1t is
physically impossible for newspaper
In Iowa to examine a mining corpora
ton in Massachusetts and the listing
Of stocks on recognized exchange is
the only safe guard that il available.
The Times Republican, however, will
not hesitate to advise its readers to let
ming stocks alone. no matter whether
they are advertised in these columns
or not. Mining; is the heighth Of all
speculative ventures. Dealing in mar
gins on the board of trade is no more
hazardous. Legitimate mines can find
a sale among capitalists who make 2
business Of mining investments and can
avail themselves of experts to examine
them. The public can not judge as to
the worth of a mining venture and
since 9s9 out Of every thousand are,
planned to gull the public, they are a
good class Of Investments to let alone.

"The M an Land"

Little boy, little boy, would you so so

Would you barter your toys and your

For the things that the grown man
gives?
Would you leave the haven whose
doors are set
With the jewels of Loves alloy.
For the land Of emptiness and regret?
Would you go, little boy. little boy?
It's a land far off little boy, little boy,
And the way it Is dark and steep;
And once you have passed thru its

No mornings of childhood joy.
Its passion and pain you give for this,

Little boy. little hoy, can't you see the

That live in the land off there;
The broken hearts," fair hopes" all

The wall that stands tween the joy

So don't go, little boy. little boy!

RACE SUICIDE AGAIN.

Turning untired from politics, Pan
ANA canal Hartman and other excit-
ling topics, the athletic mind of Pres
ident Roosevelt sezes upon an artcla
In the Review OF Reviews as a text for
a curtain lecture to its editor, DIR. AL
bert Shaw, formerly of Iowa. The ar
ticle had stated that the idea that the
average family should have a larger
number of children than at present
shown by the birthrate is erroneous.
| The president takes the editor to task
severely and insists that the greatest
problem of civilization is the facts that
| we'll TODD families die out. This he
| says shows a tendency toward the
elimination rather than the survival of
the fittest.
Whatever President Roosevelt may
consider the greatest problem of civili-
cation, the great problem of the aver
age family is that Of existence, re-
spectacle, comfortable existence. The

ly are food, fire, clothing and pro-
vision for sickness, misfortune and old
age. the education Of the children, In d
word, the keeping of the family. The
head of the average family is a hard
working man and his wife hard work
ing woman. If the family is doubled in
numbers as the president would have
1t, they are both over-worked and over
burdened. The average man on an
average salary this spring is consider
ing how he Is going to keep up ex-
penses and graduate a son or daughter
decently. Suppose he had one every
year for four years?
The race is in no danger of abrupt
decay. Race suicide has not closed the
schools or depopulated the play
grounds. There is young man for
almost every opportunity, and a young
woman to match with him. 1t is hard
for the average observer to see this
serious danger that looms over the
race. Perhaps 1t isn't there.
The fittest always survive. That is
the memorable law. If the well-to-do
families are dying out the reasons are
natural. If the hoi polloi increase most /
rapidly, nature knows what she is |
about. Let President Roosevelt re-
member that in this country sons and
grandsons of section hands sit in con-

courts, while the sons ahd grandsons

THE NEW YORK FIRE IN WHICH
HEROIC WORK WAS DONE
WONDERFULLY
THRILLING RfSCUS MADE
Twelve Firemen Injured-Two May
Die-Fire Engines Overturned and
Were Completely Wrecked

New York, April 23.-Four men
were burned to death, $50 horses Kill
led, twelve fremen injured, two of
them seriously, two engines over
turned and wrecked by collisions
with street cars, several thrilling
rescues from burning buildings and
property loss of $500, 0O0-that is
the story Of the fire department
for the five hours following last mid
night. Six different fires on the up
per East Side in Broadway, on the
middle East Side and big stable fire
at Christopher and Barrow streets
kept the firemen constantly at work.
The dead are four Italians, whose
bodies, burned beyond recognition,
were found in the ruins of the burned
stables. The fire was in the Dis
patch stables, in the block between
Christopher, = Barrow, West and
Washington streets. 1t was here
that the ESQ horses persisted. The
money loss in the stable fire is placed
at 100000.
Another serious fire started in the
Madison laundry in the East Seventy
third street, and swept up through
the f1ve-story building, several of the
upper floors in which were occupied
as tenements. 1t was while on the
way to this fire that the fire engines
were wrecked. The drivers of both
engines were injured. The families
in the upper part of the building were
cut off from escape by the stairways,
but were rescued by firemen. Loss,
$4,000. 81 $500.
1t was in a high building in Woos-
| ter street that most of the irepen
were injured The firemen had
dragged the hose up the stairs to
fight a stubborn blaze in the factory
of the R. R. Frome Manufacturing
Company. The full company had
reached the scene when came the
back draught, and the flames and
choking smoke swept over them. A
dozen of the men were blown down
flight of stairs. Several of them
| were severely burned and bruised.
The other fires were in widely sepa-
rated sections of the city.

COTTON WARRANT EXCHANGE.
Warehouses to be Built Throughout
the South.

Birmingham, Ala, April 23.-At
the conference held here today to dis
cuss plans for the establishment of a
cotton warehouse exchange the pro-
ject was placed firmly on its feet by
the liberal subscriptions to the pro-
posed organization.
Prominent cotton men were pres
emit from as far north as Virginia and
as far south as Texas.
Thepla cteonnLn. ink, Rmfl To zy
The plan contemplates the estab-
lishment of warehouses throughout
the south from which warrants will
be issued on cotton stored showing
uniform classification. A cotton
warrant exchange is to be started in
Birmingham upon which trading will
be done on these warehOse warrants.
Both the Southern Cotton Associa-
tons and the Farmers Union were
represented by prominent officers and
members, and both organizations
heartily endorsed the movement.
