THE Kansas City Post: "Gov-
ernor Folks recent denunciation
of the Kansas City ministers might
have been less vituperative had he
not had Andy Gallagher on his
hands. A governor with Andy on
his hands is quite likely to abuse
ministers of the Gospel" Andy
Gallagher is a member of the K.
G. police who is "friendly to me-"
but against whose official integrity
serious charges have been made
which so far are wholly ignored by
the Governor. The removal of
other police officials not friendly
to me-" but whose records were
without blemish, called forth re-
monstrances from the pulpit, as
we'll as from good people in all
ranks and vocations. The charges
against Gallagher are of several
weeks standing, but our Civic
Righteous Governor stands pat to
his friend.

THE Kansas City Post: "Vice-
President Louis Glass, of the Pa
cifc States Telephone Company,
was sentenced to five years in the
penitentiary Tuesday for bribing
supervisors in San Francisco to
vote against an ordinance permit
ting competition. It is more than
needless to tell the public to what
political party he belongs, or to
remind it that Abe Ruef was the
most loudly bebadged and over
decorated bowler for Roosevelt

Republican national convention.

In these days Of laws and multi
plication of laws for the hamper
ing and restricting the personal
liberty. of the citizen; when we
seek to force upon u neighbors
the goodness we think we possess;
when every little weakness is
sought to be cured by law-just
now / reproduce with pleasure the
following truth, taken from an
address recently delivered at the
Washington State University;
l desire to insist to you that there
is no good obtained by restraint
of peoples natural inclinations, or
by forcible regulation of their
habits, which is half so good as
freedom itself; that the logic of
the universe is that nothing de-
velops which will live except as it
develops upon its own strength.
That, as Herbert Spencer puts it,
the ultimate result of protecting
men from the consequences of
their follies is to fill the world with
fools; and that just as the inflex-
ible laws of Nature which some
times seem cruel to us in their re-
lentless application are in reality
the greatest charity and the deep
est mercy, so the truest charity to
mankind is to leave each in free
dom and each to take the con-
sequences of his acts. The same
law which permits the ittest to
survive condemns the weakest to
go down and out, and this is pre-
cisely as true of moral weakness as
of physical weakness. The evo-
luton of mind and soul will con-
tinue to be retarded until men and
women are absolutely free to con-
troll their own habits and their own
lives.
And speaking of the conflict be-
tween enslaving Authority and
Freedom, the speaker reverts tc
one of the tens of thousand of fact:
in the bloody progress of humanity
from Serfdom to Freedom which
we are too prone to forget:
Algernon Sidney! Papers were
found in his possession in hi'
handwriting declaring that thu
people, the plain masses of thu
plain people, were the source ant
authority of all law. For this hi
trod the gallows' steps, deserted
by every friend. And the rule 0
men by the divine right of king
triumphed; there was no one lef
bold enough to repeat his words
But the truth that Sidney saw dit
not die; being Truth it could no
die. And in the progress of tim
we find that stern, round-headeC
English gentleman, Oliver Crom
well, going up and down the lane
with his regiment of Ironsides
sweeping it clean of the falsity o
this right of the few to rule tn
many: and he wrote upon tn,
parchmehts of Parliament as tn
law of the land, "The source of al
law under God is the people,"

THE plundering of the poor to
add to the millions of the rich is
called ''high finance" The at
tempt to limit the exactions of
corporate monopoly is "contisca-
tion," and the strong hand of the
Federal judge may DO relied upon
to see that "business" shall not be
hampered or injured. Is there not
Scripture for it? "He that hath,
it shall be added unto him, and he
that hath not shall be yanked out
of that he hath" Maybe my
rendering of the text is not uerbatim,
but it is strictly sensatim.

THINGS are warming up in Iron
county. For more than 30 years a
well -organized political ring styl-
ing itself ''the Democratic party"
has been running things in the in
terest of "the party" The Enter
prise has set before the people
some recorded facts that look ugly
in print. OF course the ring can
not deny its own records, so the
circuit clerk attacked the editor
last week with a cowhide. If he
expects this to pass for a salts
factory denial of the editors charg-
es, the circuit clerk will discover
his mistake. This will only start
the thing going and is sure to lift
the lid. The ring is in full con-
troll in Iron county. If the editor
is not telling the truth, why don't
they prosecute him and send him
to ja~il?--Scott County Kicker.
Will Mr.. Hafner please state
some of the recorded facts that

know whereof I speak, that every
allegation made by the Enterprise
against the officials of this county
is false; that it's every assertion of
official grating or attempted graft
ing or malfeasance is a point

of men banded together to further
their own interests dishonesty at
the expense of the people-there is

combination in Iron county since
the Democratic party gained con-
troll. | have been here all the time
and speak from personal knowl-
edge. Mr.. Hafner proclaims to the
contrary, not because he knows of
the evils he asserts exist, but from
a heart and mind SO soured by dis
appointed ambition that he seeks
the worst in everything and good
in nothing. The attack upon MI.
Reagan was not inspired by criti-
cism of Mr.. Hawkins official acts,
or the disclosure of ''facts that
look ugly in print" but by long,
continued personal abuse. If the

law to punish the offender and

Phil. Hafner would have been
among the first to join in the cry
that Mr.. Hawkins purpose was to
shut off legitimate criticism. A
suit at law for damages is long,
tedious and expensive, regardless
Of the justice Of the cause, and
gives little reparation even when
a verdict is obtained. The plain
tiffs here are financially poor and

he has been quiet about the mat

Stevenson, the school teacher on
Funk Branch, and he can further
say, if that teacher whipped any
scholar, out of reason, he is sub
ject to prosecution for such offense,
and that if any one has told any
thing else in the news line to Rev.
Alcorn, they have certainly told
something about Squire Kit0hell
that is not so. The item in last
weeks letter was not intended to
have any bearing against Rev.
Alcorn or any of his family, in the
case against Stevenson, now pend
ing, on the affidavit of Rev. Alcorn
for unlawfully whipping his son;

corn would or did swear to one
word that was not true and that he
could not prove.

Squire Kitchell was up to Sa-

forbidding him to sell beer and
whiskey when he got opened up
there. They were informed by
the proprietor that he had had no
intention of doing so, and they
told him they we're his friends and
would stay with him If he kept his
word. The proprietor was asked
who the ladies were, and he said
they were Carrie Nations army

slid across the deck and threw a
spray of fire before them. wadding
into the fiery pit itself to grapple
with carboy and heave It over
board, fearful to breathe lest -he
fumes suifocate them, the doughty
men struggled on, suffering many
bruises, but finally disposing of the
last carboy and quenchIng the last
spark.
Then, as the realization of the hor-
rible death that had been averted
came to their consciousness In all It's
force, they dropped In their tracks
exhausted and unstrung, sobbIng for
the breath of life which had so near
ly been taken from them.
Leaving San Francisco August 16
with a cargo OF about SOC tons, in
cluding $50 tons of powder, 200 tons
of gasoline. large quantity of oil
and Sc carboys of nitric acid, the
Eureka had a fairly good passage
until reaching Point Blanco. Then
the weather became nasty and when
of Mendocino Head, about 2 o'clock
on the morning OF the 10th, the gale
was blowing at so miles an hour
and the ship was rolling heavily from
side to side. A carboy of the acid,
which was lashed to the upper deck,
broke loose from its moorings and
smashed. the fluid coming In contact
with wood and instantly igniting Ii.
Lie fash the ropes binding the car
boys were eaten away by the flames
and the entire cargo of acid aside on
the deck, which blazed brightly In
the pitehy darkness.
Realizing Immediately the terrible
danger, Captain Golightly summoned
all hands excepting the engineering
force. The latter were driven from
their posts for a time because OF the
noxious fumes from the burning acid.
The struggle OF the men against the
encroachments OF the fire were al
most indeseribable.
After being seven days out, the
Eureka arrived yesterday at Belling-
ham and discharged a small cargo
of general merchandise there. She
moved to this city about 1880 O'Clock
last evening and is discharging por-
tions of her cargo today.

HOME DUTIES.
Series of Lectures Delivered by Rev.
w. III. Selleck.


In his series of sermons on MAR
rlage and the Home" Rev. II. w. Sci.
leck yesterday treated of "The Du.
ties of Children and Parents" He
first gave n brief talk on the duty OF
children In obeying parents, and
then passed to the duty on the pa
rents part, which, he said. he par
ticulafly wished to emphasize. He
said that this duty did not begin at
birth, six months or even six years
before, but that a man In shaping
his life should consider the effect
OF his good and bad habits on his
posterlty for hundreds of years 10
come. Becoming more specific, he
treated OF the tobacco habit, and
said that young men should consid'
er that In destroying their own nerv-
Gus systems they were not only hurt
ing themselves. but, through their
offspring, diminishing the energy
and stamina of the race. Continuing,
several examples were given OF at
tainments by great men which could
be directly traced to the high aspi-
rations OF their humble ancestors.
Passing to the training which parents
owed to their growing children. Mr..
Selleck said that there was a strong
tendency to ever-emphasize the duty
of the mother. Fathers" he said,
''being engaged in bread winning for
the family are too apt 10 leave to
the mother that part OF the boys
training which he alone is competent
to give" He showed from exam
pies the beautiful results from per-
feet confidence between fathers and
sons, and said that that confidence
should be extended to matters thai
are now. from false motives of deli
caey, spoken of but little.
Lastly he said that example is as
important as precept in the mould
ing of a boys life. and that no
father could effectively warn a son
against the use OF cigarettes with his
own clothes reeking of tobacco. He
then said that he believed that a
father should take an active part In
boys religious training, and should
personally help him in his Sunday
school work.
The services were held on tho
lower floor, which was not large
enough to accommodate all VINO
wished TO attend. Certain people
have said that they have attempted
TO hear part OF this series of SER
mons for some time past, but have
found the church crowded when they
arrived. 1t is unfortunate that the
time for repairing the church was
while this series. which has proved
of so much interest to the public
was being given.
