San Francisco, April -6.-Alana9er Gleason late Saturday night closed ar engagements for a tWenty-rOund fight between Joe Cans and Battling Nel- son for some night during fleet week" in San Francisco. probably the night of May II.
 When this match was first proposed, Nelson seemed willing, but some of his friends put him up to demanding forty five rounds claiming he could not make his best showing against so clev- CT a boxer as Cans in twenty rounds.
 Cans, however, declined to listen 10 such a proposition. He wired he was that unless Nelson would agree to twenty rounds the match was off. Late last night Nelson agreed to Gan S terms and temporary articles were signed

The recen1 movement of the Arkan- mined effort to raise a fund for the establishment of a monument ill mem ory of the late August H. Garland, of Arkansas, recalls the following spe- cial dispatch, which was sent out from Dallas. Texas, on the day following Garland.s death:
 The death of former United States Attorney General A. II. Garland was the cause of sincere sorrow 10 a large number of persons in the vicinity of Dallas All over Northern Texas are located former residents of Arkansas, and nearly all of them either knew MT. Garland personally. or were so well acquainted with his history as to make their knowledge of him place them in much the same relationship as would personally acquaintanceship. All these had for the noted statesman and lawyer an admiration akin 10 sin cere affection.
 Among this number is Judge Chas l. Evans of Dallas. He and Judge Garland had known each other inti- mately for the period of generation. They corresponded by letter frequent ly, and were on various occasions identified in the same case profession ally A few years ago, when Judge Garland lost a daughter in q pecu liarly sad manner, Judge Evans wrote him consolingly, and in the course of letter intimated that he would be pleased to learn from Judge Garland what were his religious ideas or con yictions. Judge Garland, in his letter of reply, answered the religious in quiry by quoting the following lines from John Stuart Blackie: Creeds and Confessions? High church

Du Maurier ard the Fenian Leader
 When Joha OIe&ry, the fcnian leader, was release. from prison in 1870 after spending five of the twent! years to which he was condemned for a felony he went to Paris, where he spent the next fifteen years of his exile. The revolutionary leader used to tell how when crossing in the packet to France he met Du Maurier, then a young man. going to Paris to study art. They became warm friends, lodg' ing together in the same building, where they became acquainted with two other artists, whom Du Maurier afterward made famous in his popula. story "Trilhy" as The Laird end The Baronet.

JUDGES POORLY COMPENSATED.
President Would Double Salaries Of
Wearers of the Ern,ine

I most earnestly urge upon the con.
gress the duty of increasing the totally
inadequate salaries now given to our
judges. On the whole there is no body
of public servants who do as valuable
work, nor whose moneyed reward Is SO
inadequate compared to their work. Be-
ginning with the supreme court the
judges should have their salaries dou-
bled. It is not BETTING the dignity Of
the nation that its most honored public
servants should be paid sums SO small
compared to what they would earn in
private life that the performance Of
public service by them implies an ex-
ceedingly heavy pecuniary sacrifice.
tits earnestly to be desired that some
method should be devised for doing
away with the long delays which now
obtain in the administration Of justice,
and which operate with peculiar sever
ity against persons of small means, and
favor only the very criminals whom It
is most desirable to punish. These
long delays in the final decisions Of
cases make in the aggregate crying
evil; and remedy should be devised.
Much Of this intolerable delay is due
to improper regard paid to technican-
ties which are a mere hinderance to
Justice. In some noted recent cases this
over-regard for technicalities has re-
suited in a striking denial of justice.
and fragrant wrong to the body polite.
Warren sheaf. [volume] (Warren, Marshall County, Minn.) 1880-current, 1908-12-10

and easy method. The solution will
come only by pressing various concurrent
remedies. Some of these remedies must
lie outside the domain Of all government
Some must lie outside the domain Of the
federal government. But there is leg
islation which the federal government
alone can enact and which is absolutely
vital in order to secure the attainment
of our purpose. Many laws are needed.
There should be regulation by the ma
tional government Of the great interstate
corporations, including a simple method
OF account keeping, publicity, supervision
of the issue Of securities, abolition OF
rebates and Of special privileges. There
should he short-time franchises for all
corporations engaged in public business;
including the corporations which get
power from water rights. There should
be national as we'll as state guardianship
Of mines and forests. The labor legisla-
ton hereinafter referred to should con-
currently be enacted into law.
For, Centralized Power.
To accomplish this, means certain in
crease in the use of-not the creation Of
power, by the central government. The
power already exists; 1t does not have
to be created; the only question is
whether it shall be used or left idle
and meanwhile the corporations over
which the power ought to be exercised
will not remain idle. Let those who OBJ
ject to this increase In the use of the
only power available, the national pow
er, be frank, and admit openly that they
propose to abandon any effort to control
the great business corporations and to
exercise supervision over the accumula-
ton and distribution of wealth; for such
supervision and control can only come
through this particular kind Of increase
of power. We no more believe in that
empiricism which demands absolutely
unrestrained individualism than we do in
that empiricism which clamors for
deadening socialism which would destroy
all individual initiative and would ruin
the country with completeness that not
even an unrestrained individualism itself
could achieve. The danger to American
democracy lies not in the least in the
concentration Of administrative power in
responsible and accountable hands. It.
lies in having the power insufficiently
concentrated, SO that no one can be held
responsible to the people for it's use.
Concentrated power is palpable, visible.
responsible, easily reached, quickly held
to account. Power scattered through
many administrators, many legislators,
many men who work behind and through
legislators and. administrators, is impal-
pable, is unseen, is irresponsible, cannot
be reached, cannot be held to account.
Democracy is in peril wherever the adj
ministration Of political power is scat
tered among variety Of men who work
In secret, whose very names are I'M
known to the common people. It Is not
In peril from any man who derives au-
thority from the people, who exercises
it in sight of the people, and who is
from time to time compelled to give an
account of Its exercise to the people

Law for District Of Columbia.

The congress should without further
delay pass model employers. 1ia bility
law for the District Of Columbia. The
employers liability act recently de-
clared unconstitutional, on account Of
apparently including in its provisions
employees engaged in intrastate COM
merce as well as those engaged in in.
terstate commerce, has been held by the
local courts to be still In effect so far
as It's provisions apply to the District.
Of Columbia There Should be no am
biguity on this point. II there Is any
doubt on the subject, the law should be
re-enacted with special reference to the
District Of Columbia This act. how
ever, applies only to employees Of COM
mon carriers. IN all other occupations
the liability law Of the district is the
old common law. The severity and In
Justice OF the common law In this mat
ter has been in some degree or another
modified in the majority Of our states,

elusive control OF The congress should
