Ills Genial Reception.

General Starr, a gallant old soldier, had an irrepressible dislike for young lieutenants fresh from West Point. In 1874 General Starr was in command at Fort Riley, and one day an orderly came to his quarters with the message, that Lieutenant Morrison, just from West Point, was at the post ready to pay his respects and report for duty. In re- sopnse to this message the old general was starting for his office when his wife, a motherly old soul. plucked him by the sleeve and said, ''Now, general, promise

What Reinforced Protection"
 Really Means
THE NEW DUMAS MEETING
Most of the So-called "Expropriations' Are Merely "Hold-Ups" Exercise Power In Hands of the
 Government.

g. A. Harper, in New York Post.
 Last summer MT. Stead of London made one of his tours of inspection to Russia to see what progress had been made since his last visit. MT. Stead had been quite justly alarmed at the re- ports of administrative repression, of ex- cautions, of exi1es, which were still in ments that the country was once more "quieted.' Aware of the fact that all the larger cities and many whole provinces were still being kept in the state of Ire enforced protection" or even in a more exceptional state MT. Stead asked what He was told that it is the "mildest form of coercion" It is my purpose here only to Supplement- what information MT Stead got on the present application of this law with facts gathered at first hand during an extended trip of several months through some 10 provinces of Eu- ropean Russia
 I shall not speak here of martial law; for at the present moment only Odessa, Poland, parts of the Baltic provinces, and
  der martial law. Nor shall I more than mention the state of exceptional protec- tion' which holds in many places, espe- cially in the two capitals, St. Petersburg and Moscow. But by an analysis of the law on re-enforced protection, l hope to give to the American reader a clearer idea of what the conditions are in Russia to- day.
 When the movement for Russian libera- started in 1894 one of the demands of the liberals was the abolition of "excep- tionaI measures. It was by excep- tional measures that the old regime had carried on its struggle for self-preserva- ton. Introduced in 1881. after the assas- sination of Alexander II, as temporary, these exceptional laws have continued in force to this day. When the movement was at its height, in 1905. the Emperor ap- pointed a commission to examine these exceptional laws and report on their ex- pediency. This official commission con- demned them as failing in their purpose, and as demoralizing both for the local administration and for the population.

Power of Governors.

Sending out is by administrative or der. There is no question of a trial by a court of law, but the use of administra
 tive procedure against a man acquitted by court of law has, in established in-
 stances, been resorted to. In simple civil cases a local administrator has been known to take the matter into his own hands and threaten one party with ad- ministrative exile if he does not comply with the claims of the second party. Such interference on the ground of "preserva- ton of public peace and order is rare; but the existence of even isolated in- stances shows the character of the law. In one place local lawyer expressed complete satisfaction with the existing state of affairs. If our governor wero not a good meaning administrator he could make 1t impossible for us to exist, so extensive are his powers when he Is provided with ''re-enforced protection"
 The most important provision of the law, and the provision which has led many to call re-enforced protection noth- ing less than disguised martial law. is the following: A governor general, or in provinces which do not come under the authority of a governor. the minister of the interior "can turn over to a military court separate cases of crime, provided for by the general criminal laws, when they consider 1t necessary for the pres- ervation of public peace and order. to be judged and punished under the laws holding for time of war The accused Is allowed defense in these military courts. But witnesses must be called within "A hours of receiving the act of accusation. This is one of the most severe Of the provisions of this "hurried-up form of Justice Many accused have sliowed the

Merely "HoId-ups."

After the promulgation of the October manifesto, which promised freedom of speech, press, meeting, union and con- science, the logical step would have been the abolition of exceptional measures But the excess which broke out In the winter of 1905-6 justified the continuing of a oppressive policy. With the opening of the first duma, however anormal course of political life began. There were no acts of terrorism during the session of the first duma They started again after the dissolution of the first duma, but again when the second assented there was a cessation of violent political ac- tivity. Since the beginning of 1907 there have been no mass movements of a vio- lent character; individual acts of terror ism have been rare. The >lly acts of vio- lence have been what are termed "eX- propriations;' we would call them mere "hold-ups," the term appropriation" i'm plying that the acts are of a political character. There seems to be no ground for interpreting the vast majority of these so-called appropriations as such They are not the work of 'revolutionaries, but of mere hooligans. Then the official statement, often repeated, is that the country has been "quieted." Yet excep- tional measures are still in constant ev-
 
 that the principles of freedom embodied in the October manifesto have not been realized. The third duma makes positive progress in the actual establishment of constitutional principles. But outside of Tauride palace the officials continue to administer under the provisions of the law on re-enforced protection.
 This law states that the authority of local administrators Is to be considerably extended. The governor can ''send out'' from his province any individual whose presence threatens public peace and or der. It is true that the final decision on the sending out" Is taken by commit tee of four in St Petersburg. This com mittee may summon the person in ques- ton; in fact however 1t almost never does so. The only evidence on which 1t bases it's decision is the statement of the governor, who says that such and such a person must be sent out or he cannot an- swer for the consequences. Bureaucratic machinery, as a rule, works slowly in Russia: these cases are always put through with unusual promptness. The examination of the case in St. Peters burg, therefore, offers no guarantee. In the case Of exceptional protection or mar tial law the local administrator can send out on his own authority. MT. Stolypin mentioned to MT Stead that he had no figures on the number sent out by govern ors general. One can, in fact, get no figures here, but General Gershelman in Moscow has exercised his authority in this line with astonishing freedom. M. Kharlxov thought a conservative estimate for the last year, while martial law ex- isted was over a thousand.

a pedestrian when the car was bowl

rent was turned on, and record run
made TO the fire hall. There the blaze
was extinguished without trouble. The
fire started from the stove. and when
the fire hall was reached had eaten a

~ VIOLATED FOR YEARS.

Cabmen at the city hall stand who
have been allowing the jealousy OF the
taxicabs that roam the streets to cause
them 10 break into protest, may be
hoisted by their own petards.
The cabmen are themselves sup
POSED to be governed by very strict
rules. but these have been more hon.
ored in the breach than in the observ-
ance. In fact. the ordinance or 1897
regulating vehicles has become dead
letter In every respect except as CIV
ing the cabmen recognized stand.
Rates OF fare In this. as In other
cities, have depended almost entirely
OH the success OF the cabman In gaug-
ing the fares paying ability. The
drivers themselves say that they could
not live on the scanty rates provided
by law. The first result OF their COM
PLANT, however. may be to force them
TO accept these very rates.
One OF the rules laid down by the
council Is that every cab shall have
inside II In a conspicuous place a
table showing the rates Of fare. The
legal charge for carrying one person
inside the half-mile circle is 20 cents.
within the two-mile circle 80 cents and
outside the two-mile circle 75 cents.
These rates are increased by half
after II p. m. Extra charge may be
made for a trunk or bundle weighing
more than so pounds, but no extra
charge for a handbag
Furthermore. the cabman Is liable To
penalties If he refuses to accept any
passenger who Is sober-and the other
kind are sure OF a welcome.
There are special provisions for
what are known in sporting parlance
as 10y rides" the rate being $l.50 per
hour for parties OF not TO exceed four,
with stops made as directed by men,
bers of the party. After the first hour
the rate Is 81 per hour.

There are a good many matters com

attention from the business men of the
city such as the increase in express

city in the matter of telephone rates
from certain sections Of the county,
the project to bring the merchants of
the city in touch with their county
trade by the construction Of an cleo
trio line west of the city and many
others that are not properly looked af-

and the results of their work are too
apparent to need comment. The in

TO HAVE NEW ELDER
Presiding Elder Lean of MiIwau.
kee District To Give Up His
Work at Conference
METH0DISTS TO G0T0NEENAH

The Milwaukee district of the Wis
consin conference Of the Methodist
church is to have new presiding elder,
or district superintendent, as the new
title is, the term Of Rev. J. S. Lean.
the present holder Of the office, expiring
this year.
The identity of the man who will
be appointed to fill the place is a
question of great interest to Kenosha
Methodists. The person most frequent
ly mentioned as likely to receive the
honor seems to be Rev DR.. j. H. Tip
petit of GAINESVILLE, who, by reason Of
the excellent service rendered the
church during his seven years there,
seems to be thought the most apt to
receive the appointment. Rev. Enoch
Perry Of Wesley m. E. church, Milwau-
kee, has also been mentioned as a pos
sible selection.
The term of Office of district super
intendent is six years and the incum
bent is not eligible for reelection, ac-
co1ding to unWritten law Where Mr.
Lean will be stationed will remain pro-
blematical until after the conference.
Tut as he is considered one of the
strong men in the Wisconsin conference
he will undoubtedly be sent to one of
the best charges.
The annual conference meets this
year at Neenah, converting on Wednes-
day, September 16, and continuing I'M
til the following Monday. Bishop
Thomas B. Nicely of New Orleans will
preside over it's deliberations.
One of the important questions like
ly to come before the conference this
fall is the consolidation of the dis
tricts. There are now five districts in
the conference, and strong feeling
exists that they should be reduced to
four. The matter came up at the con-
ference last year and the change was
hctly contested by the laymen. Bis
hop Hamilton, who presided at that
time, decided against the change.
Another matter of interest concerns
the Byron camp meeting. There is a
desire on the part Of many Methodists
that this, now a local affair, confined
to the Fond du Lac district, be made
"a conference camp meeting. This
would mean the Improvement of the
camp meeting grounds near Fond du
Lac
Changes among the Milwaukee minis
ters are impossible to forecast at this
time. The last Of the quarterly con-
ferences will be held on Monday night,
and at that time the stewards and trus-
tees of the local churches will meet
together and probably express prefer
ences as to any desired changes.

rs FREE OF DISEASE
Health Officer Reports That Kenosha
Has Mo Contagious Diseases

Dr.. J. B. Spalding, health officer of
the city, announces today that the pub
lie health of Kenosha is better now
than in any period during the last ten
years. For the first time in a decade
there is not single case Of contagious
disease in the city and what is more
there has not been case reported to
the health officer in more than three
weeks. The last quarantine was lifted
on Friday afternoon and for the first
time in the ten years there is not a
quarantined house in the city. This
time last year Kenosha was overrun
with scarlet fever and whooping cough,
but both diseases seem to be entirely
stamped out. At the same time last
year there were many cases of typhoid
fey er, but the city IS also free of this
disease at the present time. The report
Of the health officer is regarded as a
rather remarkable showing for a city
so large as Kenosha.
