Just word in regard to the Pro-
bate Judges Office and the amount
of business transacted there during
the past year. There has been col

sum of 5000. 80; and as the amount
allowed this Office is $500, it will be
seen that the county board only had
to pay $3.50 10 out of the treasury
to maintain this Office during the
past year. The amount of fees col
lected is increasing as is the business
of the Office. And by the way, John

MAYORS KIND WORDS.
Mcclellan Declares Catholic Church
 Power for Law and Order.

Mayor Mcclellan has sent the following letter to Archbishop Far ley:
 Your Grace:
 Tn offering to you and to the archdiocese of New York my most sincere congratulations on it's cen- tennial anniveI sary I wish also to record the city's appreciation of that which the Roman Catholic church has done for New York.
 ''She has lent her kindest hand to this city, state and nation in car ing for an immigration that has given to us an industrious, law abid- ing, God fearing citizenry. Shelh has made her children here patriotic as we'll as pious. She has baptized, nursed. fed and taught them, sent her priests and nuns with them into our battles. and with it all the bet ter Americans they were the more she loved them and the moro they loved her the better Americans they became.
 Tt has been thus, not only during the hundred years you celebrate, but from the moment Carroll signed the declaration until to-day. when every Roman Catholic church in the dio- eese is bright with the country's flag.
 ''It is a great force for right that you marshal: a great power for good that you display in this cen- tenary. You may be more proud of the force and the power in the knowledge that America needs them. as you need them, ever to stand as a breakwall against anarchy and its black offspring.
 AS your church has stood for law and order-and that relation now means more to the city of New York than it has ever meant-may she still stand for them, ready. steady, unfinehing. unoompromising. in all of GIT republics centuries to come"

HEARD IN PASSING.

Ex-Senator Chandler of New Hampshire gives seven reasons why Secretary Taft cannot be elected. It looks as if the senator's wish were father to his seven thoughts.-Prov- idence Journal.
 Counsel for the committee making charges against District Attorney Jerome of New York, offered in evl- dence a trunkful of vouchers to show that the Metropolitan Street Railway company paid large sums or money to influence court decisions. -Middletown Press.
 When the winning candidate spends almost $7,000 and the losing candidate $3,000 in fight for the Hartford mayoralty, there's some- thing wrong with the system. And civic virtue must have been chased up a blind alley and beaten to a pulp.-New London Telegraph.
 Congressman Orlando Burrell of Carmi Illinois, who has made one successful campaign riding a large white mule through his district, will use the animal again this year in hls second campaign. A dingy and weary old mule will also figure in the national campaign.-New Haven Journal-Courier.
 The most original scheme yet re- ported is that of Chicago man, who urged to take the temperance pledge, took two. When it was dis covered that he was drinking again, and he was taken to task, he ex- plained that he supposed it was all right to break one pledge, so long as he didn't break the other.-New Haven Union.
 The fact that there will be a na- tional treasury deficit of about $65.- 000,000 at the end of the fiscal year, view of the fact that the public has become accustomed to a fat na- tional surplus. While there is no cause for anxiety, still there Is no more excuse for nations being extravagant than for state or an individual al.-Ansonia Sentinel.
 William H. Taft picks out Bryan and anti-expansion his opposing candidate and the issue. Conven- tions make one and events the other. The republicans hoped to fight the 1896 battle on the tariff question. but events completely overshadowed it. No one can yet safely predict the real issue of 1908. That Bryan will be the opposition candidate is a much safer guess.-Boston Tran script.
 There is no question but that the successful issuance of the new Penn sylvania railroad loan was vast al deviation to the load of depression under which business generally has been laboring and an example sure to be followed by further demonstra- tions of like sort. They go long way toward lifting the load and not many more will be needed to put it entirely out of sight and feeling Bridgeport Standard.
 From many parts of the coun- try come reports of destructive fires in the forests that cover a wide area and do great damage to trees. Many of these fires are started by care lessness of men and boys who throw lighted matches, cigarettes or cigar butts into the dry grass. Forest fires are dangerous on account of the possibility of their spreading to buildings, but if they are confined entirely to the woods they are very serious matters.-New London Day.

The republicans are hard at work trying to minimize the effects of the panic and the continued business de- pression. The panic was a com plete reply to the fallacious state ments in republican platforms and by republican organs and spellbind- CTS that tariff protection produced prosperity. The fact that over a million men are out of job; that wages are falling and thousands of foreign wage earners are returning to their own country, is too glaTing to be glOssed over. says a Washing ton writer. Democrats have fore told this breakdown of the policy
 of protection, which for a time fOs- tered a spurious prosperity for the trusts and corporations. with it's ac- companying high cost of living and of necessity high wages. But now
 the crash has come and so many
 people are suffering the republican party is trying 10 again deceive the voters by pre-. sending to favor tariif revision or adjustment, after elec- tiOn.- The promises are, however. very vague and always accompanied by the declaration that the protec- tive system must be preserved. It is pretty safe to predict that if the republican party is successful in eIecting the next president and a majority Of the next congress. that the trusts and tariff protected in- ierests EiII again control the poIiey of the majority of the republican
 party on the tariH issue Is it ike ly that campaign funds riIl be forth coming from the trusts and corpor-

At a meeting of the executive committee of the National Rifle association, held in Washington, it was decided to send team to Lon don to compete in the Olympic games this summer. A feature of these games will be number of rife matches on the famous Bisley range. The American team will consist of six shooters and probably two substitutes with a captain and quartermaster. A competition will be held on some range yet to be se- lected during June at which the team will be selected. Any Ameri- can marksman will be eligible for the competition. The team will en- ter the international contest, each man firing 20 shots at 200, 500, 600, 500, 300 and 1000 yards, using the new Springfield rife. There will also be a team match at 300 meters with any rife, an individual match with military rifles at 1000 yards, an individual match at 300 meters in which any rife can be used. There will be no cash prizes but the countries represented by the winners will be credited with a number of points toward the total which gives athletic supremacy.

CALLED OPPONENT A LIAR

Will Apologize, However, if Latter
 Disproves Disputed statements-Pub'
 Iicly and Formally Branded Pol.
 troo, and Coward.
 New Orleans, May 1.-John B. Hon. or, the millionaire boss" stevedore of New Orleans, wants the blood of Mur- phy J. Sanders, the wealthy manager of the Leyiand steamship line at this port, because Sanders called Honor q malicious liar" for certain testimony given in the port investigation. Honor, through his seconds, Edwin T. Merrick and Arthur NJ. Page, formally issued a challenge to Sanders to fight duel with pistols.
 Sanders refuses to meet Honor in mortal combat and declines to with draw the statement that Honor is a malicious liar" Sanders declares that duel is a ridiculous and un-American way to settle the points in controversy.
 When the seconds of Honor returned to their principal with the declination of Sanders, formal card was posted on the downtown street corners, signed by Honor It reads:
 'The said Sanders having declined to give me satisfaction according to the honorable code, I do now hereby de. nounce the said NJ. J. Sanders as pol troon and coward and not worthy to be chased among gentlemen"
 Duel Out of Date, Says Sanders.
 Sanders issued this statement:
 Have we of New Orleans been asleep for a couple. of centuries? Is this really 1908 or Is it 170S? I have received challenge to fight NIT. Honor duel. My alternative is to fight, apol- ogize or be branded a coward. As for the apology. if NIT. Honor can prove that my statements regarding his tes. timony before the port investigating commission are untrue I will apologize Until that time my statement will stand. As for the duel. I have just written Mir. Honor as 10 my position" Some weeks ago when Honor ap- peared before the port investigating commission he said that Sanders had pitted the white labOrers against the blacks on the levee front. that he had precipitated race riot there and that after breaking away from the white laborers and employing negroes San ders had been offered the mayOralty if he would agree to employ the whites again. Sanders appeared before the commission and denounced Honor's statement as ignorant rubbish- and malicious lies

STUDYING the STOCK GAMBLING EVIL.

The head Of the bureau of corpor
ations has been requested by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to make inquiry as to
the methods of the stock exchange
In New York with a view to devising
a plan for eliminating the gamb ing
features. The president recognizes that
1t is going to be pretty hard to do any
thing to stop gambling without doing
injury to legitimate transactions. In
many instances the line of demarca-
ton between trading and gambling; is
so faint as to be not discernible. On
the stock exchange the legitimate and
the illegitimate have been so long
closely associated and so carefully
merged that it is going to be deli-
cate task to separate them. But IT
Roosevelt policies are to be continued
1t is certain that the evil OF stock
gambling Is going to get a severe Jolt
even tho it may shake up some en-
tirely legitimate dealings. Wrong can
not be tolerated simply because to end
it would be to do some slight harm to
innocent persons.

1T DRAWS THE MONEY.

Down in Oklahoma, where imported
capital is needed for the DEVELOPMENT
of a new country. they have discov-
cred a scheme for attracting the de-
posts of outside money to the banks
of Oklahoma where it is available for
farmers and jobbers in the way Of
loans to them in their business The
state law guaranteeing bank deposits
does it. Under this law every STATE
bank in Oklahoma is compelled to
chip in to fund equal to l per cent
of the deposits from which the depos-
itors Of any failed bank can always
be paid in cash Immediately. Ma
tional banks are applying voluntarily
for admission to the guarantee fund
and cautious people in other states are
sending their money to Oklahoma
banks to be deposited where the state
guarantees it's return. A talented
writer describes the system in the
Saturday Evening Post. and his arti-
Gle is quoted ON this page by the
Times Republican today.
