NO RELIEF IN
 VIRGINIA CASE
Attornes General Kirby Answers Let ter of G0yernor-elect D0nagley and Explains That Supreme Court Deei- sion Has no Bearing Here.

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 4.-Attorney General Kirby has answered the let ter addressed to him by Governor elect Donaghey relative to the disso- lution of the injunction now pending in the Federal courts restraining the application of the State Railroad Con- missions tariffs. MrM. Donaghey ad- dressed the letter to the attorney gen. eral. believing that the case decile1 by the United States supreme court reversing the lower courts judgment in case involving the Virginia Rail- road Commission was similar to the present case ill which the Fedora, court has enjoined the Arkansas Rail- road Commission rates. He asked MT. Kirby if it would not be we'll, il the cases were similar, to move for a dissolution of the injunction.
 Mir. Kirby explains that the cases are very dissimiiar and that the ac- tion of the Federal supreme court merely sent the case back to have it appealed from the commission to the Virginia supreme court, instead of having the action of the State Rail- road Commission directly enioined, as was the case here.
 However, says MT. Kirby, "the ef- feet in Virginia is merely to require that two tribunals, the commission and the State supreme court pass up- on rate question: whereas in Ar kansas, the matter is settled by the action of the Railroad Commission. The issues involved in the case were

KIRBY SAYS SCHOOL
 BOYS CAN COURT
Atty. General Rules Against School
 Board That Forbade Ii.

Attorney General W. F. Kirby yes terday rendered three opinions on questions arising in school patters.
 The first was in response to an in quiry from Rison in which the ques tion was raised as to whether the principal of the school had the right to eXpel q young man for attending girl to church or other gathering on Sunday and then escorting her home in violation of rule of the school di rectors adopted for the purpose of pre- venting the association of the sexes during the school term, claiming that by such association the minds of the pupils were diverted from their stud ies. Attorney General Kirby held that the expulsion Of -a young man for the cause named was an unreasonable, ar, hitrary and nuwarranted exercise of power by 8 principal of a school and the directors 6f a school district
 \ Second inquiry related to the time when pupil could enter public school MT. Kirbys' answer to this question was that child is entitled to attend school on the day he becomes Six years of age, regardless of the rule of the directors of the district. whence the question came, that he may attend only if six years of age after the beginning of the term.
 The third question was in regard to the time when the right of a p1,- pil to attend school ceased. To this in- quiry MT. Kirby ruled that the pupils right to the benefits of the public schools terminates the day he arrives at the age of 21, even though the ses- sion be not ended. However, the direc- tors could permit such pupils to con- time his studies by paying for his tu- ition,

not on the matter of low rates, or confiscation of property, as was in- yolyed here; and the decision was not such as to have any bearing upon the case at issue in this state, and would not justify motion to dissolve the Injunction
 The attorney general explains that the commission has had ill contem- plation the making of an emergency rate, but that such rate had not been made. He emphasized the fact that It no time had any consideration been given by the commission or any one else connected with the states side of the case to any form of compromise.

REAR ADMIRAL
 COGHLAN DEAD

New York, Dec. 5.-Rear Admiral Joseph B. Coughlan is dead at his home in New Rochelle, N. Y. He was in command of the New York Navy Yard from 1904 to 1907.
 Admiral Coghlan's death occurred at 7:30 o'clock this morning at 29 Park avenue, New Rochelle. He went to that city only about two weeks ago.
 His death was very unexpected. He with Mrs. Coghlan, lived at the home of Charls Chamberlain, former New York newspaper man. in Sutton Manor. while waiting for the new home in that city to be made ready for occupancy.
 The admiral was seen about the streets of New Rochelle yesterday and appeared to be as we'll as usual.

HUGHES AND A GREAT EVIL

The fight which Governor HUGHES Of New
York is leading against racetrack gambling
and the appeal to sentiment which he makes
by the publication of pathetic letters which
have come to him from the victims of the
gambling, can hardly fail to suggest paral-
lels
No one should minify the Importance of
the crusade against race gambling. The evil
is unquestionably great and demands cure.
But no intelligent person for a moment
fancies that the evil of racetrack gambling
ever approximated thousandth part of the
evils of the liquor traffic. Where the race
track gambler has one victim, the saloon
keeper has victims galore and the voice of
their plea for succorsis heard in every corner
of the land.
And yet this doughty champion Of NOR
ality, New York's "clean" governor, has
never lifted either hand or voice, even in
the most indirect manner, against the liquor
traffic. In the very capital of the state, al
most under the caves of the executive cham
bers and the executive mansion, the liquor
traffic not only carries on its abominable
work but faunts the law of the state, and,
so far as the world knows, Governor HUGHES
never heard Of it.

need only an accidental spark to repeat the
horror of Collinwood.
It is bad commentary upon the admins
tration of our public affairs that it takes the
holocaust of two hecatombs of children to set
the public officials to paying attention to one
of the clearest and most patent of their
duties; and the sorry fact is that this condi-
ton of things is paralleled in almost every
branch Of our public service. The two polit-
ical parties that have divided power between
them for the last half century, have given us,
particularly in its municipal branches, gov
eminent that would disgrace the Cliff Dwell
ers of the Stone Age.
Yet that our schoolhouses are fire traps is,
perhaps, not the worst thing that can be said
about the reckless disregard of the safety of
our children shown in our public schools.
For years Chicago maintained one of it's larg-
est public schools in the midst of a reel1ing
vice preserve that was almost unparalleled
upon the continent, and even today the con-
dition around some of the public schools Of
this city is but little better. Boston yet has
a public school that is closed around with
solid phalanx of vice. New York sends thou
sands of boys and girls for an education into
the very heart of it's F'tenderloin."
These facts could be paralleled in scores
of American cities They are facts that ought
to drive the fathers and the mothers of the
land into insistent, resistless action against
the corrupt powers that make such things
possible

Eight years ago the Republican party ap-
pealed to the people of the United States for
renewed lease of power, upon the argument
of the <'full dinner pail" The people heard
and granted the plea. From that day to this
the government of the United States has been
in the hands of the Republican party, with
none to say them nay. There probably has
never been a period of the history of the
American people when party rule has been
so complete and when party policies have
been so uniformly enacted into law
Eight years ago the Prohibitionists told
the people of the country that so long as the
beer can is filled by the earnings Of the
workingman, so long as we pour into the till
Of the gin miller, in sheer waste, more money
than we spend for the necessities of life, so
long all seeming prosperity is delusive and
disaster sure, sooner or later.
The demonstration has come. In the
midst of Republican power, when nothing
menaces the perpetuity of that party's hold
upon the government, widespread panic
seizes the world of finance, industries are
crippled, far and near, and workingmen, by
the tens of thousands, not only find the din
ner pail empty, but are without the opportu-
nifty of earning the wherewithal to buy
crust for themselves or their families.
The Prohibitionist rises to point out the
fact that during these eight years of Repub-
lican prosperity we have poured down the
liquor traffic's greedy NAV more than fifteen
billion dollars of aUeazth.
Look at that waste and then wonder, if
you can, why continuous and unbroken pros
perity is impossible in this country.

WOERTENDYKE IN COLORADO
California Speaker Concludes Fine Campaign
Among the Mountains.

DENVER, Colo, March 12-(Special correspond
ence)-Mr Jas. H. Woertendyke, of California
closed his work for the Colorado state committee
with great meeting tonight in Fruita The last
week has been the best of all. Interest has grown
with every day. There has been raised this week
$47755 making total of So, 3O615 for the entire
campaign.
Sunday March s, Mr.. Woertendyke spoke three
times in Denver. A local option campaign is on
in the city, but marked interest was taken in
each of his meetings. and especially the afternoon
mass meeting in Trinity Methodist Episcopal
church was we'll attended and the speaker was
repeatedly appauded. During the day $19665
was raised for the party work.
Monday Mr.. Woertendyke spoke again in Den
yer, this time in Memorial Methodist Episcopal
church. The church was full to the doors and
$41.55 was raised in the collection.
Tuesday night fine crowd gathered in the
Methodist Episcopal church in Colorado City
and manifested great interest in the cause. This
is the third visit Mr.. Woertendyke has made to
Colorado City, and each time the crowd increases
Wednesday, March II, the best meeting ever
held in Newcastle was in the Congregational
church, other attractions and mix-up dates
initiated against the attendance, but about 100
earnest listeners were out and for one hour the
interest did not flag, not even in the collection,
for $162s5 was added to the state funds.
Thursday, March IL, the speaker reached Fruita

MORE POST OFFICE CENSORSHIP

What looks to us like very dangerous
measure, is being held in committee at Wash
ington as Senate bill No. 1913. This bill
reads:
"Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of Amer
lea in Congress assembled, That section 1898
of the Revised Statutes be, and the same is
hereby, amended by adding And when any
issue of any periodical has been declared non
mailab1e by the Postof6ce Department, the
periodical may be excluded from second-class
mail privileges at the discretion of the post
master-general"
A provision of this sort looks harmless
enough upon the face Of it, but when the sit
uation is examined it appears in an alto
gether different light. By the Interpretation
Of law that has been current for years past,
the United States Postofice Department has
been very real and effective, though not
ostentatious, censor of newspapers. There
are comparatively few newspaper offices in
the country where there is not more or less
apprehension as to what the Postofice De-
partment may do if it should happen to be
displeased with the paper.
Under the administration of an official
who is now fortunately out of office, that ap-
prehension became a panic.
The holding that the second-class mailing
rate is mere privilege and, therefore, may
be withdrawn from any publisher without
the violation of any Of his rights, enables the
Postofice Department, without moments
notice, to put out Of business any paper
which has met the displeasure of the officials
Of that department., and the courts will not
review the acts Of the department..
This Senate bill, to which we call attention,
merely proposes to place in the hands of this
already too we'll armed department, addi
tional means for dealing with newspapers
that have fallen under it's displeasure. If the
bill is passed, an arbitrary postofice official,
responsible to no one under heaven, may de-
clare paper unavailable, and the Post

masterGeneral may Immediately declare the
second-class privileges withdrawn from that
paper. The paper may be wholly innocent
of any wrong-doing; may be published for
the worthiest of motives; it may be deserving
Of the widest hearing, but bigoted partizan
official, acting with more than Russian tyr
amy, may wipe it out Of existence with the
signature of his name.

MAKING DESPERATE FIGHT
Liquor Interests in Nebraskas Capital in Fren-
zied Struggle for Life.

LINCOLN, NEB, March 15-(Special correspond
ence)-Every effort is being made by the saloon
to forestall the Prohibition victory scheduled for
this city on April Z. The excise board has passed
daylight saloon" ordinance, requiring the
LOOMS in the event of Prohibitions defeat, to
close at seven o'clock p. m. 1t is known only as
a trick to win support for the regulated saloon,
to be revoked after the election, if the saloon
wins
The saloon men are impressing foreigners into
citizenship as their last hope One saloonkeeper
led forty Russians to court to take out their
papers in advance of the election. The mayor is
out against Prohibition on the ground that the
government records show larger number of in
ternal revenue tax receipts issued to Prohibition
Topeka, Wichita and Kansas City than under the
present license law in Lincoln. Clinton N. How
ard answers him in todays Journal, in which he
points out the important fact that the number OF
tax receipts issued to a Prohibition city in no
wise indicates the number of saloons or joints
in operation.

PAPER WAFER MARKS.
Method by Which the Devices Are
imprinted on the Sheets.

Method by Which the Devices Are
imprinted on the Sheets.
The discovery OF the watermark was
the result Of an accident-probably a
thousand years ago. Parchment was
then made of vegetable pulp, which
was poured in a liquid state into a
sieve; the water dripped out from be-
low, and the thin layer of pulp that
remained was pressed and dried. When
dry it was found to bear upon it the
marks Of the fiber that composed the
bottom Of the sieve.
These fibers seem to have been
twisted reeds, and the mark they left
on the parchment took the form Of
wide lines running across and across
diagonally. In those days the water
mark was regarded as a blemish since
the fiber was thick and coarse and the
deep impression made on the paper
proved a drawback In writing. The
quill Of the scribe found many yawn-
ing gap to cross on the surface Of the
manuscript-''switchback scripture" it
has been termed. But when wire was
substituted for fiber in the sieve the
lines of the waterwark grew thinne:
and less conspicuous.
The possibilities of the usefulness of
the watermark became apparent by
degrees. 1t was first found to be of
service in preventing the forgery of
books and manuscripts. Many a bogus
copy Of rare work has been detected
because the counterfeiter failed to take
into account the watermarks Of the
original. The watermark of many a
precious manuscript in the worlds
museums is alike its glory and its safe
guard. And in the sphere of bank
notes and paper money everywhere
the watermark is most useful in pro-
tecting the notes from imitation.
The term "watermark" is in reality
4 misnomer since the mark is actually
produced by wire. Wire is fashioned
into the desired pattern, figure or let
tering. This is inserted beneath the
sheet in the last stages of its manu-
facture and while the paper Is still
capable Of receiving the impression
and the wire device stamps itself into
the sheet Ordinary note paper held
up to the light reveals hundreds OF
parallel lines running up and down,
betraying the fact that the paper was
made on a wire foundation. To this
the paper owes its smoothness and its
even texture.
In the manufacture OF postage
stamps the watermark is Of immense
advantage as safeguard. The wires
that produce the marks are kept strict
ly under lock and key. They are
brought out only when wanted, and an
inspector keeps an eye on them till
their task is done, when they are at
once locked up again. - London An
