The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1907-11-01

THAT new dodge tried by the federal
authorities on the tobacco trust in North
Carolina, the attachment OF 81 600 worth
of tobacco, was clever stunt and it it
works will revolutionize the whole sys-
tenn Of trust prosecution. 1t puts upon
the corporation the obligation to prove
it's innocence of wrong-its legal right to
the possession of loot.

Franklin Policeman Shot.

Night Captain of Police Edward Nee
han lies in the franklin hospital with
four bullet wounds in his body. In Jail
is Mikolay Holks, aged %, Russian
Austrian, who is responsible for the
shooting. Meehan will recover, in the
opinion of the surgeons who have eX-
amined him.
Holka and two companions, Lewon
Opolka and Lee 0polks, were in John
Boner's tailor shop near the Thirteenth
street bridge Saturday night at 10 oclock.
Ralph Russell, a dealer in picture frames,
dropped in. He spoke to the foreigners
and called them "dagoes" ard "hunkies."
When Boner closed his place of business
and Russell started home the three for
eigners were in waiting for him on the
Thirteenth street bridge. They beat him
badly. Captain Meehsn, wh) was patrol
ling his beat, saw the scrimmage and gave
chase to the fleeing Austrisns. He col
Jared two of them and started for the
lookup. Along Thirteenth street Holka
crept behind the officer and fired two
shots quickly into his back. AS the
officer turned Holka fired twice, both
bullets penetrating Meehan's right arm
above the elbow.
The officer let go of the two Austrisns
and started for Holks, firing as he ran.
When he had emptied his revolver he
leaned against the side of the Exchange
Hotel. Patrolmen McCauley and Sutley
came. He handed them his revolver,
pointed to the fleeing men and then col
lspsed. He was taken to the hospital.
One of the bullets fired into his back had
lodged in the muscles along the spinal
column and the other had gone entirely
through, coming out at the lower part
of the abdomen, Today he was placed
under an snaesthetic and the bullets re.
naming in his body we're removed. He
recovered from the shock and physicians
say that because of his remarkable con-
stitution he will recover. McCauley and
Sutley caught the three Austrisns and
nad ulmculty getllng dolka 10 tne lookup
as the assembled crowd wanted to lynch
him. He was fully identified by Captain
Meehsn. Lee Opolks was found to have
bullet in his heel, probably fired from
Meehan's revolver.
A charge of shooting with intent to kill
was placed against Holks and aggravated
assault and battery against his two com
psnions.
LATER Since the above was put il
type the victim of the assassin has dice
and Holka has been arraigned on charge
of murder. One of his countrymen has
identified him as the msn who fired the
fatal shots, and it is altogether probable
that the murderer will do hemp-stretch
ing stunt in the not distant future.

THE Oil City Blizzard Significantly re-
marks: "Whatever is worth having is
worth ask ing for" is saying none the
less true because aged. And it applies to
office-seekers as we'll as others. He who.
while just yearning for an office, persists
in policy designed to make it appear
that his "frlends" are doing the yearning
does not strengthen himself with his con-
stituents, the majority of whom may sus-
pect that the pressure being brought to
bear" is actually being cultivated and
encouraged by the aspirant himself. and
that the yearning is perhaps paid for at
so much per yearn. The better way is to
come to the centre and not beat about the

Appreciation makes stupid people

tones are often sufficient, even glances or

effect, it will surprise you; try it on a
woman who knows that she is plain and

brighten, her cheeks flush and her face
light up and with something akin to
beauty. Try ii on man who lays out
your walks or hoes your corn and see

Stikes a Responsive Chord.

That the average voter throughout this
Congressional district believes in fair
play and square deal and is thinking, is
evidenced in the following brief note
which comes from Venango county:

"Dear Sir: We read in the papers an
article In Bad Form, copied from your

to learn that this sentiment and spirit
of fairness prevails in all sections OF the

WITH traffic at high. water mark and

WITH traffic at high. water mark and
all its motive power now fully employed,
the Pennsylvania Railroad has given q
hurry order to the Baldwin locomotive
works at Philadelphia for 25 heavy freight
locomotives. They are to be delivered by
December. Does this look like a psnicH
Guess not. The Pennsylvania Is not the
only railroad that finds its motive power
entirely inadequate to meet their de-
msnds. All over the country there is the
same cry. All that is needed to restore
business to its normal condition is conf
dence. Let the people place their money
in the banks. Stand by the banks as
they stand by you IN time of need, and
there will be no further cry of panics.
The boarded millions fput into circula-
tion through the banks would soon re-
lieve the money stringency. Have conf
dence, the country is all right.

MONEY is piling up in the state treas
ury faster than il can be paid out. The
revenues for the fiscal year about ending
will exceed those of last year by at least
81 600 900. As there are no unusual calls
upon them these moneys will go to swell
the surplus in the treasury. If the pros
porous times of the past few years were
continued these large revenues would
most likely keep up, but it will not take
much of a depression in the business
world TO reduce them considerably, as ex-
perience in the past has shown. There is
no need to apprehend, however, that they
will fall below the proper needs of the
state. 1t was expected that the large sp-
preparations by the legislature at its last
session would considerably reduce the
surplus, but 1t does not appear to be hav-
ing that effect. If, however, the next
legislature passes a soldiers pension bill,
which is likely, it will be necessary to
add to the revenues by increased taxes in
some direction. The payment for year
or two of such pensions as we're provided
for in the bill passed at the last session,
and vetoed, would exhaust the surplus,
and without additional revenue from
some source could not be continued
