a JUDICIAL WARNING.

Justice Brewer Of United States Gu
ptsme Court on Public Ownership.
There Is this important difference
between public aud private indebted
ness: The Individual may mortgage his
home or other property. and II the pur-
pose for which the mortgage Is given
proves a failure the property may be
lost to him, and on his death his heirs
simply receive 80 much less than they
otherwise would. but the Indebtedness
casts no burden upon them. II may
wipe out his entire property and they
receive nothing. To that extent they
may suffer II a failure to Inherit prop
erty can be called suffering. But pub
lie Indebtedness Is of a different char
acter. II does not wipe out property
now existing, but It casts q burden
upon the industries md toll Of those
who come inter us. Interest and prin-
clpal are met by taxes. and taxes con-
tinuc from age to age until the debt Is
paid. They who come after US, who
may receive little or no benefit from
the debt. are called upon to contribute
the proceeds of their labor to Its pay
ment. In other words, while private
indebtedness does not mortgage or In
cumbcr future industry and labor, pub
lie Indebtedness does. And In piling
up public Indebtedness we too often
| forget that the future win have Its bur-
dens-that there will be demands upon
1t for expenditures. Improvements and
conveniences corresponding to the life
| Of that day will be needed. 80 that
J there Is injustice In creating a public
Indebtedness for improvements which
will be mainly available In our day
and only to u slight degree Of benefit
| to those who come after M. Indeed.

ed Mr.. and Mrs. Sternberg
at Kansas City recently, says
he served in the state peni.

He WAS sent up five years ago
and served two years. His
a%ccomplice was ''Dollar Bill"
another negro.
In his statement he said
they did not know the Stern
berg's-s simply were bent on
robbery. Smith stepped into
Sternberg's grocery, bought
a can of sardines and as he
was handed them struck
Sternberg down with a big
bolt. Later when Sternberg
groaned the other man killed
him with a meat cleaver.
After having done this they
went TO the adjs:nng room
where Mrs. Sternberg was
sewing and deliberately killed
her with the cleaver. They
secured $40 in the robbery.

Dewey was seventy years old Ihurs-
day. He is in splendid health and
robust in physique.
Among his callers were number OF
those who attended the admirals birth
day dinner last week, which was ad-
vanced in date because President
Roosevelt expected to be in Pine Knot,
Va. today. These circumstances re
called happy toast which the Presi-
dent prepared when they drank to the
health of the admiral. 1t follows:
ITO the man who has done more for
and reflected greater glory on America
than any other man now living"
The toast was met with hearty re-
spop3e from those surrounding the ad-
miral's table.
At the meeting of the Naval Reiief
Association the admiral was presented
with two silver ink wells. The health
of the admiral was drunk from de
canter containing MADEIRA wine of the
vintage of 1S47. The decanter was
formerly the property of George Wash
ington. and Surgeon General Van
Reypen. who made the presentation,
said !; was eminently fitting that the
health "of the other George. whom we
all love-" should be drunk from the
same decanter.
