BUCKET SHOPS.
In West and South Are Nearing End Of
Existance.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Tribune today
says: Bucketshops through the West
and many states In the south appear
to be nearly at the end or their exist
ence. Concerted legislative action
against them In several differant
states and the passage OF stringent
laws prohibiting them from operating
further, together with the activity Of
the Chicago board Of trade In prose-
cutting cases against them has caused
many Of the leading bucketshop con-
Germs which have had network Of
private wires covering practically
every state In the west, south and
northwest to decide to withdraw from
the business. 1t is understood the
leading bucket shop concerns In In
diana are preparing to wind up their
affairs by the middle OF June, which is
the time set for their closing up by
the state authorities under the law
recently passed prohibiting bucket
shops In that state. Iowa and Mis-
souri, have passed similar laws and
bills are pending In Michigan, Pennsyl-
vania and Massachusetts, as well as In
the Canadian northwest provinces
Several of the most extensive systems
win be out of operation In six weeks
The volume Of business transacted by
the different bucketshops has been
enormous. Wire rentals of some OF
the big concerns have been larger than
some Of the largest legitimate houses
In the business. One Indiana concern
paid upwards Of 100000 annually for
wires The anti bucketshop bin now
before the Illinois Legislature Is still
among the uncertainties. In tine house
today an effort will be made to call
1t up. A strong bucketshop lobby II
present in Springfield, however, trying
to block Its progress.

Under these conditions 1t stands to
reason that the railway companies
can carry passengers for two cents a
mile at good figure, when the dead
heads are eliminated. These states
which have passed the two cent rate
have also passed stringent anti-pass
laws. 1t Is not the two cent fare
which the railroads are so strenu-
ously fighting, but they consider Ii
an entering wedge to other legisla-
tion which might really be a detri-
ment to the railway corporations and
which would really do them an In.
justice. For this reason they would
gladly spend hundreds OF thousands
of dollars To gel the leading men OF
the various states to come to Chicago
and be their guests both going and
coming and also while there.

A LAUNDERING Law.

Another example of the laundering
resulting from the strained relations
existing between the senate and the
house OF representatives OF the late
lev islature, Is becoming manifest In
the question Of the election OF trus.
tees OF schools. A law was passed by
the house changing the date of
school elections from June To April
aud an emergency clause was added
TO the bin, The senate passed the
bin but struck of the emergency
clause during the closing scenes of
the session. The bill was signed by
the governor aud ID became law
after the date liked for the April
election but before the regular date
for June elections SO that the condi-
ton was presented of there being no
law providing for an April election
In force this year but one for an
April election In force before the
date for the June election. No cleo
ton could be held In April because
tho law was not yet effective and
none can be held In June because the
new law will then be In effect and
repeals the provision for June cleo
ton.
In mauy districts where only tn,
printed bill was at hand as n guide
the election was held In April undel
the belief that the emergency claus,
as printed was part OF the law
but the attorney general has beer
, appealed TO for an opinion aud he ha,
held that under circumstances sucl
as described the usual June election
i, will have to be held. Capital News.

but repetition OF the old familiar
story--the employment Of dummy"
entrymen who, by the easy process Of
perjury. got possession Of valuable
coal tracts under the homestead law,
assigning these lands to the coal
company. There Is nothing new In
the circumstances. The only feature
OF the case worthy Of remark Is that
the indictments do not srtike high
enough.
The Utah Fuel company was organ
lied and Is owned by the Rio Grande

when they get out from the pressure,
the repressed feelings are apt TO find
expression and even one who Is per-
soma non grata may occasionally get
news from beyond the bars.
IL seems to have become necessary,
therefore, TO discipline the boys with
greater severity, the form OF this dis
cipline being arranged In an Associ-
ated Press dispatch from Washington
this morning. This states that
hereafter newspapeime will not be
allowed any more TO congrceate In

of few. The Jeffersonian ideals
have held sway for so long that the
people will hesitate good while be-
fore they will surrender their rights.
II we were to Judge Roosevelt by his
acts we would say that he was
Uamiltonian of the most pro-
pounced type. His efforts to settle
the japanese question in California
In his own way is one Of the reasons
WHY we say this. If he has not said
so publicly he has evidently SAID
so to his close friends, that he is 10
favor of taking the rights OF the peo-
pie to settle this railway question by
taking 1t out Of the hands OF the
states, and placing 1t In the hands OF
the national government. He VIII
not dare to take this stand publicly
on account of the national election
next year. He too well knows they
are Jealous OF their prerogatives and
will object to the national govern
ment usurping those rights.
