WHERE ARE WE ATp

1t is more than a year since the
plundering of the Capitol thieves
was brought to the public attention.
Then the Governor of the State and
the Auditor General explained and
expostulated and declared that the
State was getting the worth OF its
money. Afterward the Attorney
General set up mild inquisition
only to find that there was nothing
to find out. But the plundering
was of too great bulk and gross
Ii IS to be readily concealed. AS
-. public Indignation grew the
.ng found it was necessary to dis
.nble. They put up decent man
az Governor. Mr.. Stuart went
aoout the State pledging himself if
there was any grating he would
find it out and punish the thieves.
AS Governor, he kept his pledge by
forcing the appointment of investi-
gators who could be depended upon
to investigate. Their reports not
only justified accusation. but show
ed the looting to have been more
daring and more extensive than the
public had been led to believe.
Now that the facts are matters
of record and common bruit; now
that the parties inculpated are
known and within reach of the
hand Of the State, there seems to
have come a sudden halt in putting
the law in force. The Attorney
General is out of the State. There
is other work to do in the Courts.
No steps have been taken to arrest
the chief offenders or to keep them
within the jurisdiction. There is
even talk of putting off the date of
trial until next year
What is the occasion of this sud-
den halt after crime has been un-
covered, the enormity of which
amazes' and astounds the whole
country from end to end and from
coast to coast Is it because there
is an election in November! Is
there desire to keep something
back and hold in check the public
wrath until a Gang nominee can
again be installed in the control of
the State Treasury? There would
be no such hesitation and dilatori-
ness if any common thief had been
caught cheating his employer or
breaking into bank or stealing a
ham. Why does not the State Ad-
ministration put into the vigor of
its pursuit, now that the quarry is
in sight, some of the vigor of prom
ise with which it set out on the
quest' Meantime, while the hand
of justice is stayed, the statute of
limitations keeps on the run.

BETTER BUSINESS ASSURED.

Reports from all sections of the
country as to the sentiments OF
men who are prominent in all
branches of business indicate that
there are no good grounds for tax
ing pessimistic views as to the bus
mess outlook. These reports also
clearly show that the overwhelming
sentiment of the people is in favor
of the rigid enforcement of the laws
against corporations and men of
wealth engaged in their persistent
violation. The efforts Of these men
to cause panicky conditions because
they are being required to obey the
laws have been fully discounted by
the people generally. The latter
thoroughly understand the situa-
ton, and they decline to sympa-
thize with the law breakers or to
be frightened by them into COM
mitting indiscretions which are not
warranted by the actual business
conditions.
Financiers of the greatest expe-
rience and highest reputation de-
clare that the present scarcity of
money is worldwide and not con-
fined to the United States, and that
therefore the enactment and en-
forcement of laws in this country
preventing dishonesty by corpora
tions and men of wealth cannot be
held responsible for this scarcity.
They also assert that the present
situation in the money market is a
good thing, as it will serve to check
speculative enterprise and to place
business generally on a sounder
basis.
1t is plain also 10 sensible persons
that if the big corporations are
compelled to do business in strict
accordance with law and Our multi
millionaires can no longer do as
they please and hold themselves
above the law, the result must soon
be to inspire the people generally
with greater confidence in the lead
ing business enterprises of the
country. Consequently when the
Wall street crowd have been COM
PEELED to bow to the inevitable and
the affairs of our big corporations
generally have come to be adjusted
to the new condition of things, we
may look for greater and more
surely founded prosperity than ever
before. -PHsbmg Pest

Assessors Now Get $3.50 Per Day.

With the fall assessments which
will be started on Monday, Septem.
Der 9, 1907, the assessors of the
county will get the first advantage
Of the new law which provides for
the increase in their salaries. Here
tofore the salary was s. per day,
but under law passed by the last
legislature, the legal rate is now
81. 50 per day. This will 60 into
effect with the fall assessment.
The registry assessors are very
happy over the increase in the
amount of their wages per day.
They have all along contended that
the price per day was too small,
and that a just increase should be
allowed. The result of this agta-
ton was that the law was framed,
presented in the legislature and be-
came law.
The clause in the law relative to
this increase in salary is as follows
1T shall be the duty of each as
SCISSOR and assistant assessor to keep
an account of the several days by
him actually employed in the per-
formance of his duties, and to make
return of the same to the commits
sioners of the county, verified by
his oath or affirmation, and for
each day necessarily so employed
he shall receive the sum of two dol
lars and fifty cents" Approved
the 25th day of May, A. d., 1907.

SEPTEMBER WEATHER.
Hicks Forecast Violently Stormy Weather.

|
Prof Hicks predictions for the
month cf September are for decid-
edlv stormy one. W0yds anu Uorks
says:
A regular storm period covers the
first week in September, being cen
trail on the 4th. A very threaten
ing barometer, with high tempera-
ture will appear in Western ex-
tremes by the 3rd and 4th, and
storms of much energy will sweep
progressively over the country from
the 4th to 9TH. The elimination
will come on and touching the 9TH.
Seismic shakes will be probable in
many parts Of the globe within for
ty-eight hours of noon on the 9TH.
A reactionary storm period comes
close after the crisis of the first pc
Rod. 1t is central on the 9th, 10th
and nth. Remember, this is at all
annual crisis of magnetic unrest,
added to all the disturbing factors
shown in the storm diagram. Heed
all warnings and indications of
growing storms. inland, on the
coasts and on the seas, in the South
especially. Heavy storms of rain,
hail, wind and thunder will move
out of the Northwest, also, and be
followed by great change to cooler,
with probable frosts.
"A regular storm period the I4th
to 10Th, is one of great and almost
certain severity. 1t is at the crisis
of the autumnal equinox. The equi-
noxes of Jupiter and Saturn are in
full force. Vulcan, Venus and
Mercury are all ceutral in disturb
ing energy, with Moon passing
from first quarter to full at South
declination and in peigee. The pc
riod. and this whole central part of
the month, is full Of perturbing
causes and phenomenal possibilities.
Hurricanes and cyclonic storms
should be anticipated about the
southern coasts, with sympathetic,
equinoctial, tornado storms over
the interior. The chances are that |
general storms and atmospheric un-
rest will continue until after a reac-
tionary storm period which is CEN
trail on the goth, 2Ist and 22nd. |
Many volcanic and seismic convul- |
sions will also be reported within |
forty-eight hours of sunset on the
2Ist. At the windup of this pro-
longed time of general and violent |
disturbances, look for a phenome-
nally high barometer, fierce north
westerly gales, and dash of almost |
early winter out of the Northwest.
The boreal change will be approxi-
mately between the 2Ist and 25th. |
All the lake regions especially |
should beware of these storms and |
the change following. Make notes
and watch
A regular storm period covers |
the closing week of September. 1t
is central on the 27th and its cul-
minating days fall on Friday the
27th to Sunday the 29th. This pc
riod will bring its change to warm
er, falling barometer and return of
marked storm conditions. The
chances are that September will be
disturbed, if not phenomenally |
stormy and out of joint, to the last.

GROWING NUT TREES.

The age at which any nut trees come
into bearing depends on the care given
10 the trees. Some authorities state
that fifteen or twenty years are Deces-
Fary 10 bring them into full bearing
from the time the nut is planted. This
is a mistake. as trees that have been
well cared for should bear q bushel of
nuts in ten years, and the quantity
will increase rapidly each year after
that time.
Some persons may enjoy raising
these trees from seed. To be sure. it
is rather a slow process, but it is in
teresting work. When planting the
outs, If they have thin shells be per-
@ectly sure that they have not dried
out at all The best plan is to get
them as soon as they ripen and plant
them at once. When this is not posi-
bic. keep them in moist sand or in
sawdust until they can be started.
Butternuts, walnuts. hickory nuts and
flberts. being hard shelled. will keep

terminate better when allowed to
freeze. as that cracks the shell.
The fall planting is natures own
plan. and the nearer we follow her
ways the better results we may eX-
pect Another thing do not plant the
nuts deep. Nature drops them on the
surface and gives them a thick cover

as it blows about: then the snow COW

and form a covering of leaf mold for
the tree to grow in.-EXchange.
