1t is not to wreak vengeance on
those, who have misused their power
and done moral wrong in high places,
that the federal laws governing inter-
state commerce should be strength
ened and extended; but to so super
wise the interstate business as to pre-
vent repetition of these offenses. l.
is of little benefit to the stock investor
to punish the man, who wronged
him: and yet, we have class clamor
ing for more severe punishment, and
in the same breath denouncing every
effort at federal supervision as an in
fringement on state rights. II a man
or corporation swindles an investor
one time. and is punished, and then
repeats his offense, and is punished
again, and so on, what have We ac-
complished in the end? Why, in tn.
end we shall have grown tired. and
the swindler will have gained controi
of the overworked department tha:
does the furnishing, and there will be
no more prosecutions.
Prevention, not by courts, but by
executive supervision, is the only
remedy for industrial evils.

City Asks Il Rehearing.

The STANDARD last week gave a
synopsis Of the facts and the grounds
OF the decision in the assessment
foreclosure case OF the supreme
Court. in the suit of the city Of
Olympia against Mrs. J. u. Knox.
Wherein the city WAS defeated ON the
grounds Of laches in waiting some
twelve years before making a re-
assessment after the original assess
urut was found to be void.
The City Attorney has filed peti-
ton for rchearing. making new
point which was not presented at the
original hearing. in that the present
attack on the rc-aSSeSSncnt is col
lateral and should have been direct
before the City Council when the re-
assessment was confirmed: that hav-
IN failed to 50 urge the contention
of lachcS or negligence before the
Council. the property owner inter
eStcd cannot now be heard to make
this defense in the rc-assessment
lien foreclosure suit.
y number of our citizens seem to
be much interested in the final out
come of this Knox case, for if the
city loses the holders of the special
grade warrants, representing many
thousands of dollars, will undoubt-
cdly seek to enforce a general liza
bllity against the Olympia taxpay-
ers. Some have paid their special
assessments rather than contest, and
expect their money to be refunded
in the event the lien is uncomfortable.
and doubtless will make additional
if asked to make further
contributions in common with other
taxpayers out of the city'S general
fund. Whether the ci ty can be com
PEELED to refund when parties have
voluntarily paid an assessment which
afterwards may prove to have been
illegal, is doubtful proposition.

a Word of Warning.

1t seems strange that the first to
butt in when fireworks are being
set off are those who know the least
of their nature, and are generally
those who have not Il cents interest
in property destroyed by an always
possible confagration from their
use, even with the greatest of care.
The other night GRO wd of boys and
men stood in front of Cramer's cigar
store, next to the Green Tree saloon.
and fired roman candles and rockets,
without apparently the slightest
knowledge of the nature of such ex-
plosives or the danger to persons
and property from their improper
use. They were held at an angle
which hurled their fiery projectilcs

Anyways where combustion might

likewise in close proximity to the
lot where the Light and Power Com

carpeting of shavings several inches
deep were strewn all over the ground.
Had one of these roman candles
been unfortunately directed in that
direction, it would have almost in
evitably started up a confagration.
These matters are mentioned now.

to it that the special patrol police i'm

protest against the conduct of
Wednesday night, which, for q time.
menaced the public welfare.

GENEROSITY AT A Discount. A
drunken man who, at st. Paul. the
other day, started in with a big roll
OF greenbacks, amounting to $1,000,
to give away his money to passen-
gers on street-car, was Immediate
ly arrested by policeman and taken
to the station. How different such
an act would be considered out here
at Seattle, for instance. Instead of
restraint the utmost encouragement
would have been extended, and he
might have peeled off shin plasters
to his hearts content, and boarded
every car on the route, SO far as any
objection would have been made.
Such personal liberty, in the widest
sense, is accorded to be philanthropy
in the "woolly west"

Park regulations? The Commission
has placed a big search-light in the
park that is able to throw its rays
over every part of those cosy re-
treats that have hitherto been de-
voted to "spooning"; machine-made
music has been forbidden, and moth
ing but the natural roar of the laugh
ing-water is allowed to disturb the
hallowed Righteousness of the play
grounds. 1t is also forbidden to
crunch the festive peanut and scatter
its shells upon the green swath, so
some other occupation for hands and
Jaws will have to be devised to pass
away the time, acceptably if not
protitably. Such innovations upon
established custom make the heart
tired.

No HULA-HULA DANCING. Rear
Admiral Sperry, on the visit of the
Atlantic fleet to the Sandwich
Islands, has placed under the ban
the hula-hula dance, by the Hawaiian
beauties in their grass-skirts, seed
anklets and armlets and floral basques.
The expectant maidens, it is said, had
been making preparations for giving
the officers and sailors the gala time
of their lives, when this edict of the
grim-visaged war-veteran put q stop
to it. The jackies demur, and cite
the fact that prize-fighting has been
allowed on the warships and that in
these encounters three sailors have
been killed within year or two, and
such sanguinary results are not like
" to flow from the muscle-dance.

SOLDIERS INCITE NOB-LAW IN POR

SOLDIERS INCITE MOB-LAw IN PORT
TOWNSEND. While we would have
our soldiers maintain good reputa-
ton as fighting men, it is with re-
grct we announce that soldiers from
fort Wordcn. Monday night, went
over to Port Townsend and started
a demonstration against the ErWiHg
can, which soon obtained the pro-
portions of a riot, and the glass
front of the office was stove in and
Chief of Police Barclay and his force
of three men were badly worstcd.
The disturbance was rapidly grow
ing to the proportions of battle,
when Col. Cummings. commanding
the district, called into action every
artillery man at the post, who pro-
ceeded to the beleaguered city and
arrested every soldier found and
took him to the fort. and a detail
was made to scour city and country
for such stragglers as dropped out of
the fight. No matter what may
have been the provocation of the
newspaper in a criticism of the sol
diers for alleged acts of vandalism, it
gave them no right to take the law
in their own hands. Their first duty
is to promote peace and fight only
in protection of American citizens.

TAFT is certainly entitled to the
reputation of being a chronic Office
holder. When he handed in his
resignation of Secretary of War, it
was the ninth clearance of decks for
a strenuous campaign. Here is the
record of his climbing dispositions:
Assistant Prosecuting Attorney of
Hamilton county, Ohio; Judge of
Common Pleas Court, Hamilton
county; Circuit Court, Superior
Court, Solicitor-General of the Unit
ed States, District Court Justice,
Cincinnati; head of the Philippines
Commission, Governor of the Philip
pines, Secretary of War. There
seems to be nothing too good for
the Tafty ambition.

AN ABERDEEN EX-MAYOR MEETS
WITH A HORRIBLE DEATH. - John
Lindstrom, an ex-Mayor of Aber-
deem, this State, and a prominent
ship-builder of that city, fell to his
death at the Willamette hotel, Salem,
Oregon, Tuesday. and was instantly
killed. He arrived there the prev
ious evening in an automobile, from
Portland, accompanied by a capital
list of that city. 1t is thought he
was taken ill, and had gone to the
window for fresh air, when he lost
his balance and fell. Another be-
lief founded upon letters in his pock-
ct is that he was victim of black
mail and had probably taken this
method of ending his life.
