WHAT THE GOVERNOR SAID
Correspondent Writes of the Origin
of the Legend of Parched
Intervals.

Having been for many years a deliver
in the history and traditions OF our south
ern states l feel myself qualified to con-
tribute something to the discussion raised
by your correspondent, Mr.. Chambers, in
his letter of September g. Governor Moor
head and Governor Vance Of North Carolina
are credited with originating the tippler's
signal: It's a long time between drinks. o.
Another story has 1t that it was not a
governor at all, but Judge Aedanus Burke.
a hearty old Irishman who was a judge
in South Carolina during and just after
the revolution.
There Is also a legend, unsupported by
dates or authority. but TO be found in old
chronicles, that early In the nineteenth
century some such incident as this oc-
Cured:
n governor OF South Carolina issued
a requisition tor the return of a fugitive
in hiding In North Carolina The COVER

fugitive had many powerful friends. where

OMAHA LOSES FEDERAL BUREAU
Immigration Headquarters Ordered
Transferred from Here TO
Denver.

Omaha loses one of its most important
federal departments in the transfer Of the
immigration bureau from this city TO Dem
yer. Word to this effect was received from
Washington Friday afternoon. Immigra-
tion Inspector w. r. Mansfield has re-
ceived instructions from the immigration
bureau at Washington to at once transfer.
his headquarters and the records of the
office from Omaha to Denver. The bureau
has been established in Omaha for a num-
Der of years and was regarded as one of
the most important of the federal depart
ments. Omaha being the geographical
center of the immigration interest OF the
country gave to 1t a significant Importance,
and the territory under the direct control
of the Omaha office embraced Iowa, the
Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas with parts
OF Colorado and Wyoming.
Mr.. Mansfield succeeded w. II. J.. Eager
in the office as chief of this department
about three years ago, and is regarded as
one Of the most efficient officers in the
immigration service, having been trans
ferred here from the Arizona and New
Mexico district. .
Under the new order the Omaha office ts
abandoned and Omaha and this entire terri
tory becomes subordinate to Denver.
The removal of this important office from
Omaha is another illustration of the handi-
cap under which Omaha labors through
having a democratic congressman.

TAX TITLES KNOCKED OUT
Claims TO Hundreds of Parcels of Land
InVaIidated by Court
Decision.

By reaffirming its previous position in
the case of lone Amber against d, c. Pat
terson, the supreme court has taken a
stand of great importance to Omahans who
have been dealing in tax titles under the
scayenger law. 1t is said the titles to hun
dreds of parcels of land have been inyali-
dated by the decision of the court and an
effort will probobly be made to have the
next legislature correct the rouble
In its decision the court held that where
more than one tract number was included in
the final notice of hearing the deed given
the tax purchaser was invalid, and the
original owner af the property could redeem
1t at any time. The decision will nullify
all deeds that have been issued, except in
those cases where a notice was published
for each separate piece Of land. Tax title
buyers declare the decision will cause a
loss OF hundreds OF dollers to the city, as
II increases the expense OF securing deeds
Under the scavenger law and hence will
tend to reduce the amounts offered for the
tax certificates.
The decision was rendered sometime ago,
but an effort was made to have the su.
preme court review the case. TIL court
refused TO do this Thursday.

UNCLE SAM PAYS OLD BILL
War Department Allows Soldiers
Claim Originating FOrty-Five
Years Ago.

Captain Dexter L. Thomas has just re-
ceived from the Treasury department under
date Of October /, 1903, a treasury warrant
for Si.59 in settlement of a claim that has
been pending since April IA. 1891.
Captain Thomas had originally filed a
claim for a portion of 500 bounty due him
from the government that was promised In
1852 He received sos of this bounty and
was later promoted to the rank of first
lieutenant and 1t was apparently claimed
by the government that his promotion
barred him from further rights to the
bounty. There were a few other minor
claims due him that had never been fully
settled, including certain Communication
allowances. In any event the claim ad-
justers of the War department finally de-
cided S113 was due him and then they
proceeded to make some offsets. These In
cluded some sort Of a tax, possibly an
income tax, and he was charged with the
SIS bounty he had received before his pro-
motion and other offsets brought the
amount down to $4.59, for which the Treas
ury department after seventeen years and
six months has sent him a warrant.
Captain Thomas is still guessing what
it is all about, particularly that feature of
the case that assesses a tax against him as
a soldier and why It is that a soldier should
be debarred from receiving bounty prom
Used him, merely because he was a good
enough soldier to be promoted an officer,
without his own solicitation or the request
or influence of his friends.

to Raleigh and waited on his Officia
brother.
The governor of North Carolina rose 20
the social requirements OF the occasion
and provided a great banquet. At the end
of 1t the governor Of South Carolina rose
at the table and stated his errand. The
governor of North Carolina was greatly
embarrassed, and falling to get a reply,
the governor of South Carolina grew very
angry. 'Sir," he said. you have refused
my just demands and offended the dignity
Of my office. II you persist in your re-
fusal I will return, sir, to my capital and
call out the militia of my state and a
the fugitive by force OF arms. Governor,
what do you say?"
All eyes were turned upon the governor
OF North Carolina as again the governor
of South Carolina demanded: "Wha does
the governor OF North Carolina say?"
The governor of North Carolina slowly
arose and deliberately replied:
81 say, governor, that It is a long time
between drinks"
The visitors were, so tradition reports,
taken with a great escort to the state line,
and the fugitive was never surrendered.-

DYNAMITE IN THE MAKING
Workmen Who Are\ EncircIed by
Death in Cans, Kegs and
Tons.

So thoroughly deceptive is dynamite In
the making that you are apt to be dis
appointed on viewing the surface OF things.
You could more readily fancy thunderbolts
leaping n crashing from tender blue
skies than that the most fearful forces in
creation arc hidden under such a peaceful
exterior. Nitroglycerin, a cupful of which
would distribute you over square miles OF
landscape, is diligently mixing around you
in hundreds and thousands OF gallons.
1t Is making itself in big iron r%etorts,
cascading down leaden cutters and merrily
tumbling in minute Nlagaras into immense
watts, where the ~deliquescent yellow peril
pursues it's journey powderward. out of
one receptacle It fares furiously through
special lead coils, driven only by cooling
blasts Of air, and is draw off like draught
ale and piped on to the next perfecting
stage. Gaze with the nitroglycerin expert
into one of those big caldrons. The in
terror is brilliantly illuminated by cleo
tricity, the only Illuminating agency per-
mitted in or about the danger houses.
Around you are other houses, at uni
form distances apart, and connected BY O
series of narrow-gauge tracks, wherein
workmen are railroading nitroglycerin from
here and pulp cotton from there, to be
compounded into dynamite n blasting
g~elatine. Greatest care is taken IN rolling
the product from house to house. AS SCOT
as a loaded cart is ready to pass out Of the
notroglycerin house, for instance, a soma
phore signals from an adjoining station, to
which the consignment is carefully hurried
Around you are long storehouses packed
with pulp in tons OF innocent whiteness
Presently this pulp will assume a tar
color under the nitrating process, anC
then, suddenly becoming carbonite, rec
cross, hercules. judson and giant powder
forcite, or what you order. 1t develops tn
quasi virtues of dynamite-dynamite Of
blasting g~elatine. in which more natura
forces are condensed, to the cubic incl
than exist anywhere else in creation
Death, curbed and sleeping, enriches yo
in gallons and IONS. 'Annihilation threaten
at every turn. In the form OF potentia
pulverizing forces But the man and IN
mercury are there also, alert, responsive

swedes ana Banks.

KEARNEY, Neb., Oct. S.-To the Editor
of The Bee: The World-Herald still main
tains that 1t was correct when 1t claimed
that the Swedes in America send money to
Swedish banks for safe keeping, To prove
this II quotes from the postmaster generals
report. that during the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1907. over $72.OOo,0O was sent to
Europe In postal money orders.
II this proves anything in regard to banks
It proves that these foreigners have no
moro confidence in European banks than
vtn American banks, and therefore invest in
postal money orders as the safest. being a
government affair. and It helps the con-
tention of the postmaster general that W.
should have postal savings banks, that also
being a government affair which would
GteAd to keep some OF this money in this
Aountry-in the hands Of the government,
pNow, I don't care to enter any contro-
versy with the world-Herald. but It was
really the Swedish banks and their relation
20 the Swedes in America that was dis
cussed In the World-Herald's former edi-
toriai. which 1 dubbed somewhat foolish,
and this quotation from the postmaster gem
erals report does not change my opinion
on that subject. I venture to say that II
the World-Herald raked this country over
| with a fine tooth comb It would not find
- single Swede. a citizen of this country,
4 who expected to become such. that sent
4Hs money to Swedish banks for safe keep
ing out OF fear OF American banks. Such
a course would be simply foolish. A citizen
of this country would naturally desire to
use his savings In this country, and II he
does any business with a bank it is, Of
course. with American banks.
There come to this country every year
many laborers from southern Europe, who
do not come with the intention of becoming
citizens; many Greeks and Italians. These
1 remain here long enough to earn what they
regard as a small competency, then the
vine-clad hills and sunny climate OF their
historic fatherland calls them back. They
seldom acquire much knowledge OF our Ian
guage or institutions. They are foreigners
when they come and foreigners when they
leave. 1t Is these who buy postal money
orders payable in their own name or in the
name Of a wife or dependent in the old
country cthey seem to have no more conf
dence In their own banks than they have
in ours), and 1t is these people that account
for the large postal money order business
Last year q larger number of them re.
turned to Europe than at any previous
time. Doubtless that accounted for ths
size Of the postal money order business last
year. II bank deposits were guaranteed
that postal money order business would
diminish only as that class OF Immigration
diminished
The Scandinayians and Germans prac
tioally all become citizens. Their earning,
are not sent 20 Europe in the shape o.
postal money orders or to banks for SAT,
keeping. II was the claim by the World
Herald that they ala that made me say 4

Not Used to the WAY.

RED OAK, Ia, Oct. S.-To the Editor of
The Bee; I see in your paper for october
6, a special telegram from O'Neill, Neb.. in
reference to the registration now going on.
The reporter writes as follows:
"OfNelll Is spreading herself for the visit
ors and winning their commendati Am
pie provision has been made to care for
those who arrive and the best OF order
prevails
AS one who was there I feel sorry in
deed for this reporters conception of
ample provision" and best of order"
Were 1t not that people are misled by
such reports as that 1 should keep silent,
but common honesty between man and
man demands that the .searchlight of truth
be thrown on such statements.
On arriving at O'Neil about l o'clock
at night we began to look for a place to
stay, but were informed by those who
wished to spread themselves that beds
would cost from 81 to $3.50. Now if that is
what the reporter meant by spreading
themselves" l concede the truth OF his
statement. But evidently from the appear
ance Of the crowd very few awaited them
selves of their hospitality.
II the reporter understood that for about
5000 people to walk the streets in a cold
frosty night In order to keep warm is
making 'ample provision for their care"
1 feel pity for his conception of care
and ample provision" If he understands
that good order is synonymous to a howl
ing drunken mob crowding the streets and
sidewalks and rending the air with their
yells and shouts, the little village COM
pletely in their control and not a police to
be seen to protect or try to keep order.
then he is profoundly. ignorant of what
good order Is, as he could not be eX-
cused on the ground that he did not know,
any one TO sleep within quite a distance
from town. II that is good order 1 won
der what bad order would be like. AS
to their merits of winning c-ommendatiOn'
from the visitors, 1 think l had ample OPP
%portunity during the nights experience tc
hear from every corner the kind OF COM
mendation bestowed. Whether that is the
kind the people of WE'LL appreciate l car
not say, but l should desire so far as
am concerned to have that kind of com.
mendation withheld.
II It is oommendable on the part of any
individual or as a community to take ad
vantage OF peoples necessities by raising
everything two or three and four times thu
customary prices. then 1 truly pity theil
sense OF justice.
Truly, Mr.. Editor, your correspondent
must have looked at this from the stand
point o fan oNeillian and not as a visitor
hence this other view of 1t. Respectfully
