THERE are several view PORTS re-
garding the local option question. As
far as the Ledger is concerned, IL Is
not a question OF finance. 1t Is i'm
material whether the saloon license
amounts to one thousand or ten thou
san per year. The more money tn 9
saloons pay for the privilege Of selling
liquor, the more the city aud city az
fairs is dominated by these interests.
The Ledger takes the position that
public improvements can be paid for
without the licensing OF saloons.
When Mexico received 90, 900 from sa-
looms we had light, water and other
public improvements. Many who
favored saloons thought this license
was too high. II the people Of Mexico
and all cities Of Missouri can't pay for
their public Improvements without
saloon license under the law, the law
should be changed. II the citizens Of
Missouri can't pay for their public
improvements without saloon licence
under the constitution, the constitu-
tion should be changed. II IL is I'M
possible to have light or water, or fire
protection or excavating or police, OF
any other public improvement with
out the saloon license, let US find it out.
Surely the people OF this country are
not going to remain under such
condition Of affairs. Just as soon as
the people find out that thev are de-
pendent upon the whims Of the Liquor
interests for all Of their necessities
and luxuries they will surely wake uI
and see that this revenue can be pait
from other directions. If we are pub
Ideally and privately. individually AM
collectively slaves to this evil lets fine
1t out and break the shackles.

AMERICAN-JAPANESE WAR
TALK AT CZAR'S CAPITAL.
Secretary Taft TO Have Personal Inter
view with Emperor Next
Week.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 2s.--As a
result of the fact that Washington has
cabled Secretary Taft to hasten his re-
turn, the Secretary. who is due at Mos
COW next Saturday. has sent a telegram
TO the American charge d'affaires here,
asking him if possible to arrange the
audience with Emperor Nicholas so as
to enable Mr.. Taft to leave st. Peters
burg the afternoon of December 4, in
stead of the night of December s.
Mr.. Taft says that he must catch the
steamer President Grant. which leaves
Hamburg December Z.
The coming visit of Secretary Taft
has sent a stream of Russians to the
American embassy to volunteer their
services for the supposedly impending
Japanese-American war. This idea has
gotten such a hold on the people that a
number of officers have even taken
steps to organize companies of volun-
teers.
is resorting to the Russian press to
deny the possibility Of any trouble with
Japan and consequently the need of
volunteers.
The most absurd stories regarding
Secretary Taft's mission to Russia are
in circulation. AS an example. there
IL published a tale that he is authorized
to arrange to station the Russian army
corps in the Philippines, and that he
has engaged a number of Russian off,

FIRE NEAR BANK SAID
TO BE lNCENDIARY.
Brooklyn Police and Firemen Think At
tempt Was Made to Get Possession
of discriminating Papers,

NEW YORK, Nov. pa mysterious
fire which started yesterday in the
building adjoining the branch Of the
Borough Bank, at %Fifty-first street and
Third avenue Brooklyn. and which for a
time threatened the destruction Of all the
buildings In the block, is being made the
subject of a searching Investigation by the
police and fire authorities.
Three explosions which are said to nave
preceded the breaking out Of the fire gave
rise 10 the belief on the part of residents
in the neighborhood that an attempt had
been made to blow up the safe of the bank.
The RQlice, however. declare that this
was not done, but they are not so certain
that an attempt was not made to enter the
building either before or during the fire for
the purpose, apparently. Of obtaining pos
session of certain papers which, it is said.
have TO do with the present prosecution Of
certain officers of the bank.
The facts, as disclosed by the nremen,
are that the fire started on the lower floor
or in the basement Of the building at 510i
Third avenue, which adjoins the bank, aud
that 1t was on the side of the building
mex to the bank. 1t made its way through
this partition, leaving an open hole be-
tween the two cellars before it was finally
put under control.
A police guard was stationed around the
bank Immediately upon the arrival of the
reserves, and no unauthorized person has
been allowed to go near the building since
that time.

NEW YORK. Nov. Ex-senator Patrick
H. McCarren's note for $4,000 In favor OF
the Borough Bank. Brooklyn, is missing
from the vaults of TINT Institution.
The note is supposed to have disappeared
some time between October rs, the day on
which the bank suspended. and the day
on which Henry A.. Powell. the receiver.
took charge, about three weeks later. h

Clark Williams said today that the loss
of the paper had not come to his attention
I'm any way.
It is understood, however, that represen-
tatives of the department. working in COLI
liberation with the District Attorneys
office. have searched the bank through ana
through and have got no trace of the note.
None Of the witnesses before the Grand
jury could throw ANY light on the missing
paper. 1t is understood that the note still
stands as an obligation on the eompanys
books. Senator McCarren has been repre-
scented rs saying hat the note was amply
secured. ,.e
The 'tickler'' to the banks loan book
also is missing. Several pages have been
torn bodily from the loan book. If in nips
tiIating the book 1t was the intention to
destroy evidence Of loans made by the
bank, the job would not be complete I'M
less the ticker" or index, also was pat
out Of the way. A search was made on
behalf OF the Grand Jury FOR this in1sx.
and it was as barren of results as was
the search for the McCarren note. The
McCarren note was entered in a propfT
manner i'm the book, II is said.
