A Trip to the Dredge Boat.

| cepCeO an 1nVlCaClOn thursday 70
accompany T. 0. Stanley, the
civil engineer, to the dredge
boat which is now in operation
digging the middle section of the
Charlton river drainage ditch
across the prairie bottom at a
point just south of Eccles.
The contract for this section of
the ditch was sublet by the origi-
nal contractor to the South Bend
Drainage G Construction Co. and
MIR. Olivett has the work in
charge. He has met with q
great deal of bad luck, principal
ly breakdowns, but is now get.
ting along nicely with his upper
boat and is making splendid
ditch at the point where his force
is now at work.
The necessary amount of water
is supplied by a large pump
which throws about 1900 gal.
Ions of water minute into tn Q
dredge ditch and in which the
water now stands nine feet in
depth.
This boat has about 4 1.2 miles
to go yet before reaching Brill's
lake, but something like one
mile of this distance will be along
the old channel of the Charlton
river.
The lower boat of the same
company has dug from Brill's
lake to point just below the
railroad bridge across the Chari.
ton, but is not running at this
time for lack of water. The lower
boat has still about 8 1-2 miles
more work to do before it gets to
Whitesides' lake, from which
place the lower end of the ditch
has been completed all the way
to the Missouri river.
So there is yet to be done
about seven miles of actual dig.
ging before the stupendus un'
dertaking has been carried
through. When done, the new
ditch will cover a distance or q
little over 33 miles while the
Charlton river as it now traverses
this county is over 300 miles
long.
Even in its incomplete state
the ditch proved it's efficiency
several times last season and
prevented a number of disastrous
overflows. When it is completed
We believe that the good results
WILDE much more evident and that
35, 900 acres of bottom lands,
heretofore subject to overflow,
will become the nost productive
and valuable lands in Charlton
county.
Before returning to Keytesville
Mr.. Stanley and the COURIER
man had q pleasant visit end Ell.

Dodging the Treasury Scandals

Its work being finished and its record made up, one fragrant sin of omission for which the Republi- can majority in the Fifty-ninth Congress will not be forgotten is the neglect to provide for Con gressionat investigation of the nine subtreasuries of the United States
 Recent scandals in three of these institutions, and the ascertained loss of large sums of money from two of them, reveal faulty methods of management which call for broader and deeper inquiry than experts of the Treasury Depart ment have the power to make.
 Nothing less than q Congres. sional commission, empowered to summon witnesses from all branch. es of the Treasury service, can bring out the facts in q way to allay growing public suspicion ot looseness and incompetence, or worse, if indeed the suspicion be unfounded
 Pending the count of cash in the Subtreasury at Chicago credenee need not Le given to the rumor that the shortage there will be nearer to ST ,ooo, ,ooo than the Sf73 ,ooo already aseertained.
 But the more than billion of dollars kept at all times in the Governments vaults ought to be so safeguarded that it would be impossible for such rumor to be put into circulation, much less for il, by any possibility. to turn out to be true.
 In failing to ascertain whether there is possible ground for such rumors, the Republican Congress was delinquent in high duty which it owed to the people Is the Republican party afraid to un- cover the record of its guardian ship of the public money i-St. Louis Republic.

ffiesCalifofnia i))iicker.

The.e Is trouble ahead for the dicker between President Roose- welt and Mayor Schmitz, of San Fracisco, for opening the public schools of San Francisco for the Japs.
 The basis of the diplomatic ne- gotiations between the high con- traeting parties Is the notion that Iif Japanese coolies are excluded from this country the number of Japanese children desiring to at tend the schools will be so small that the friction arising from their mingling with the white children will not amount to much.
 In the bargaining, the principle that the schools supported by the people of California belong solely to them and are not, or should not be, subject to any sort of diplomat ic arrangement with foreign power is wholly lost sight of ex- cept by people in California who vehenentIy and voluminously pro. test against its surrender.
 If Mayor Schmitz and bis IS sociate help President Roosevelt out of d false and dangerous possi ton by eonsenting to reopen the white schools to the Japs, the same racial conditions which prompted the segregation in the 6rst place must inevitably result in dissatisfaction, creating new de- mand for seperate schools.
 Nothing in the world is settled untiI it is settled right, and the President is driving d bargain for settlement of the San Francisco school trouble that is altogether wrong. He is persistently trying 10 establish priciple the most vicious that has been advanced in Washington since the sedition laws of John Adams administration were repealed.
 In order to soothe the laps he is offering the Californians in return for the surrender of vital princi- pie Of States rights, not an abso- Iute exclusion of undesirable im- migration. but a measure under which 1t may be excluded by exc cutive order in the discretion of the President and at his pleasure.
 This miserable business must fill California with disgust aud give the inflated 1aps a most eontempl.

Fight Of Third Term League.

There is heavy portent in the stnbborness and pertinaeity of the Roosevelt Third Term League. It has just issued warlike manifesto, directed at the object of its mahci. nation. It declares: We ehaI- lenge his right to refuse to accept the presidency Of the United States for third term in the face of the people $ demand Evidently the league is preparing for a death struggle with it's idol Ii has heard from the president, and his negative is most positive. If Mir. Roosevelt is to serve third term. the league must conquer him af all cost. The Third Term League is composed of men of mettle, resolu- tion and address. They are band ed in Il high cause. and their plat form has only one plank. Every one of the band is fighter fired by an incandescent glow of patriotic zeal. All know that the cam
 paign is to be long and arduous. Victory will perch on their banner only after she Is captured and hog tied. \ resourceful, weary foe stands ready to checkma,e every move. The president, on the other hand, faces dangerous situ- ation He must maintain an in. cessant vigil if he is to avoid cap ture. There can be no sleeping at the switch The Third Term League is spreading its tentacles in all directions. It Is borrowing un der him and flying above him. It aims at nothing short of an al liance with the people of the united States Tn the forthcoming struggle against Roosevelt. Ii it succeeds in this diplomatic game, he is goner. Meanwhile. it's shorts of defiance and preliminary pawiugs of the earth are wearing on the strongest of nerves, even the iron nerve of Theodore Roose- welt. The prospect is excellent for d brilliant, exciting and historical struggle between the president and the league. No comprmise appears to be possible. It will be fight to the finish Let everybody stand back and give the combat ants plenty ot room and square deal. W ashington Post

Democrats in Good Shape.

When the new Congress meets in December it will not be easy for the Speaker of tbe House and his steering committees to run oyer the Democratic minority quite so roughshod AS they did in the Con gress which has just expired.
 The brutal majority of II2 which the Republicans had in the last House is in the new cut al most exactly in half, the Republi- can preponderance having in the election of November last been re. duced to fifty eight.
 If Oklahoma organizes for state hood in time to be represented in the Sixtieth Congress the Republi can margin in the House will be still further reduced by the three, and possibly four. Democratic members which the new State will assuredly send to Washington.
 In the new Houes a change ct about twenty five votes from the Republican side to the Democratic will suffice to defeat any partisan measure which is obnoxious to Re publican constituencies having an aggregate population equal to that of the single State of Illinios.
 The difference in the relative positions of the two parties in the old House and the new is seen in the fact that though forty Repub- licans voted against the ship.sub- sidy bill in the closing days of the recent session, the bill, neverthe- less, passed the House by majori- ty of three or four votes.
 In the new Senate the Demo. erats lose three seats, but these will in part be made good by two Dem ocratic Senators from Oklahoma, so that the balance of power in that branch of Congress will be little different from what it was during the two years, just passed. And during this period Democrat. ic votes, in alliance with a minori- ty of Republican Senators, carried through some of the most decisive measures enacted by the Fiftninth Congress.
 In the long session of Congress proceeding the Presidential eec- ton of next year the Democrats of the two houses will have good deal to say in shaping up the is sues.-Republie.

There IS d most vicious prac- tice growing up III the modern legislature in Arkansas. and that Is to exempt one or more counties from the provisions of general law. Out of such legislation grows all sorts of confusion to the people. What IS law in one county may not be the law in an adjoining county, and as the people generally, do not keep posted are likely to get into trouble without the least i1lea of violating q criminal Stat. ute. All general Statutes ought to be made to apply to the whole state and every part thereof. and if not good enough for this It is not good enough to be law, at all. While such Statutes are heldfo be valid hy the courts. nevertheless they are not the kind of Statutes to be passed, aud the RepreSentives should kill all such bills.
