Home Rule for Cities.

Within the last two years the evils
Of the existing system have been great
" intensified. Under the administra-
ton of Governor Hanly the metropoli-
tan police law has become q reproach
to the state and growing irritation
to the people of the localities where
the Hanly brand OF long distance gov
eminent has been in operation. From
Richmond. Muncie. Anderson. Lafayette.
Hammond, Marion, Michigan City and
every other city where the governor
has controlled the police boards there
has been loud and bitter complaint.
And In every instance the complaint
has been justified. In every instance,
too 1t has came from men Of all par
ties The right to manage their own
local police affairs should be restored
to the people OF the cities now re
stricted BY the metropolitan law.-An-

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Feb. 1.-The rally which
was in evidence at the close yesterday
did not extend very Tar this morning.
In fact, the opening prices showed the
effects Of the short interest being more
or less eliminated by the bulge in the
late afternoon. Prices this morning
started off weaker than they closed
with Reading reaching a new low rec
ord on this bear movement The same
tactics as heretofore were pursued In
this issue. The Fricke crowd opened
the market for Reading about a point
higher than the close yesterday a 122 p
and promptly gave the shorts all they
would absorb from that price down to
100, when another small rally brought
the market up to 121. After reaching
the latter figure, however. the same
people began selling on an enormous
scale. hammering the market down to
11812. At the latter figure supporting
orders We're disclosed to take all the
offerings.
The balance of the market showed a
ragged depressing tone throughout the
list. Union Pacific sold off three points
from the high prices obtaining early;
St. Paul declined about one; Copper

IN the industrial group, American

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago. Feb. 1.-WHEAT-A bear
raid was instituted against the bulls
in this market which resulted in a de-
cline of a cent a bushel in that cereal.
1t was rumored that the cash wheat
situation was not nearly so strong as
previously reported. Also, northwest
ern millers have been liberal sellers Of
-four. one of the leading bull opera
tors in the pit sold a large line of
wheat which he bought yesterday
around 10. This had a tendency to ease
the market off half a cent There
was a broader trade on the decline and
some Of the wheat sold by shorts
seemed to go into strong hands. The
market closed steady with about a half
cent decline for the day.
CORN-A strong tone early, the May
option reaching new high ground on
this advance. but later in sympathy
with the weakness in wheat and the
reported decline of quarters of a
cent in the cash market, the speculative
market eased of fractionally. The
same bull interests which have been
so prominent of late We're again ar
rayed on the buying side at the close.

BANKER IN TEARS ON STAND.
Children Grouped About Mother as the
Accused Tells OF Prosperous
Days.

Kentland, Ind, Feb. Judge Wiley,
in an examination Of Banker Gilman,
who is accused Of wrecking the Good
land bank brought out the fact that
the accused banker left Goodland with
$40 in his pockets and did not draw
any money from the bank for the pur-
pose of leaving the country.
Gilman said further than he did
not solicit deposits with fraud inten-
ton and never played the board Of
trade on his own account. but had
made investments for others. His liv-
ing expenses were not to exceed $1,000
q year. he said, and his house was
n:odestly furnished.
During this part Of the examina-
ton a clever turn was taken by the
defense Gilmans three children
grouped themselves around Mrs. Gill
nan and Judge Wiley, his voice chok-
cd with emotion, asked Gilman to de-
scribe his family. With tears in ais
eyes Gilman did so before the jury
ard court then adjourned for lunch.
Gilman is a splendid witness in his
own behalf. Apparently every trans
action of the bank Is perfectly fresh
in his mind, and he answers the volley
Of questions fred at him without hest
tation His answers are usually di-
rected to the jury, and if the question
leads to a vague answer he will re-
quest permission to explain the trans
action fully.

WOULD PROHIBIT FREE LUNCH.
Legislature Will Consider the Import
ant Question, 'To Eat, or Not
To Eat.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. NO more
will the shiftless men gather around
the free lunch counter and enjoy
square meal with their mug of beer
that is IL bill which is to be intro
duced by Senator Mock becomes a law
This measure will strike a body
blow at the free lunch counter, and
it is said that 1t is backed by both the
temperance societies and the saloon
interests. The temperance people be-
lieve that the opportunity to get nice
sandwiches and all the other Access
series of a good lunch free of charge
induce many men to go to the saloons
who otherwise would remain away.
The saloon men on the other hand OBJ
jet to putting up a first-class meal,
when all they get out of it is the
profit on one glass of beer.
The measure as it lay on the desk
of Senator Mock Wednesday looked
harmless enough. Never once is free
lunch mentioned in the document. But
there are fine sounding phrases which
will do the work If they become in
corporated into the law.
According to the bill it shall be I'M
lawful to conduct a saloon in any
building where any other business is
conducted, making exception for the
sale of tobacco and cigars. Senator
Mock was requested to introduce the
measure. He probably will do so,
though he is not prepared yet to give
his legal opinion as to the ACCESSIBILITY
OF such a movement. 1t Will mean
hard times and maybe perjury for the
free lunch patrons and he wants to
consider we'll before acting.

WITH THE EDITORS.
Judges and Politics.

radical but commendable measure
is that introduced by Senator Hugg
for the prevention Of campaign con-
tributions and assessments by judicial
candidates. There are few people who
are not in sympathy with the purpose
of this bill. Everybody comedies that
a judge should be unbiased and free
from obligations of any kind that could
affect his opinions. Everybody looks
to the courts as protectors Of public
and private rights. and all right minded
people deplore anything that will tend
to lower the integrity and impartiality
of the bench Hence, in any measure
aimed to promote these desirable quail
tiles the only question ordinarily to be
considered is the efficiency Of the
measure
OF course, judges have their politl-
cal views as other people have, and
nobody would want judges who had
not, but every one looks with suspicion
on what Is known as "a political
Judge" The very fact that man is
an extreme partisan indicates an I'M
fitness for judicial functions. 1t indi-
Gates a lack OF capacity for conserva-
tive judgment. And it is notable
fact that the best judges always have
a dislike for active polirrcaI work. They
feel not only that 1t is not consistent
with the dignity of the bench, but also
that 1t tends to create a sense Of favor
or obligation that IS inconsistent with
the judicial attitude.
For these reasons it is generally
conceded that judicial positions should
be removed as far as possible from the
ordinary manipulations of politics.
Many persons oppose the elective sys-
TEN for judges on this account and
most advocates Of tile elective system
feel that judges should not be active
In politics, In this state the salaries
of judges are not high, and any large
campaign contribution is serious tax

airy for support.-Indianap Star

The Murder Of Women.

The recent trial In New Orleans of a
man for murder Of a woman has
brought out a singular state Of af-
fairs in that city and the verdict en-
phasized 1t. The man was found guilty.
but the verdict was modified without
capital punishment" The New Orleans
Times Democrat says:
Is the murder of women in this
city a capital offense or is it not? In
the past four years there have been
about twenty women killed in New
Orleans and not one OF the slayers has
been hanged. In November. 1905, this
paper published list Of fourteen
homicides in which women were the
victims IN the previous two years, and
it called the attention then to the fact
that while some Of these homicides
were proved to be inexcusable murders,
and while the jury pronounced the ac-
cused guilty, there had in no case been
inflicted the death penalty. Men have
been hanged in this city for the muir
der OF other men. and why should they
not be hanged for the murder Of
women? There have been sufficiently
atrocious murders of women in the past
few years to furnish fruit for the
gibbet, but juries have either acquitted
for sentimental reasons or have quail
fed the verdict in the most ridiculous
manner

For the Blind Cubs. "

The Blind Tiger" bill should not be
suffered to go to enactment without
some sort of a provision calculated to
circumvent the amtable agents Of Cali
fornia and New York Wine companies
who go gadding about over the state
peddling their wares to pious old 3ea-
cons and SNUG pillars of society The
hostile provision mentioned wo6la of
course, not be aimed at the gentsea.4n
who may need little wine f>r tne
stomach's sake. but rather at the wine
companies who send them the stun in
packages with no designating Marks"
There is no reason why these concerns
should be allowed TO peddIe liquor over

to do business here let them contribute
to the support of the state institutions.

Cities and Towns Law.

It is sincerely to be hoped by all
that Senator Parks and the others who
are apparently anxious to repeal the
cities and towns law Will think twice
before doing so that they viii at least
consult the residents OF the cities that
would be affected BY the repeal before
attempting to abandon the present
system almost before It has been estab-
lished. The cities and towns law
should not be repealed, at least so far
as this city Is concerned, until it has
been given a fair trial, and 1t has not
been given this; but In so far as it
has been worked out it has proven
more nearly satisfactory than the old
er method.-Muncie Press.
