expect more in the line Of
legal protection from the
prosecuting attorneys office
than II has received In the
past.
In spite Of opinions from
the prosecuting attorney for
bidding the board of COM
.missioners from saddlirg
personal expense bills on
the county, such practice
has prevailed, probably to
the extent Of thousands of
dollars In the aggregate.
The prosecuting attorney
and the county auditor
must both have been aware
that this unlawful use of
public money prevailed, yet
no move was made to put a
stop to It.
It was a case OF telling
the commissioners what the
law lie and then permitting
them to violate it at their
discretion.
County commissioners are
officials who are above the
law, it appears. When they
choose to violate II the
county's legal machinery
must remain powerIess.

AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. Ex-senator
Claude Hudspeth of Ell Paso has
prepared bill providing for grad
uate scale Of taxes on bachelors.
The minimum is $40 per annum on
delinquents in the marriage game
from 25 to 80 years old; bachelors
from 80 to 40 are to pay s25 year.
and those from 40 to 20 are to pay
$40, after which the tax is removed.
The bill also provides that every
eligible bachelor must porpose to
not less than one unmarried woman
each year, and make affidavit to
the same should he be refused.
Failure to do this doubles the tax.
There are about 100000 bachelors
in Texas.

SOME TRICK TO FEED
QUININE TO AN ELEPHANT

During the weeks stand OF the Gen.
try Bros. show. the management is
cheerfully assisted by the boys who
live in the immediate neighborhood.
One of the elephants has contracted a
slight cold and the attendant decided
to give him dose OF quinine. Sixty
grains is considered small dose for
an elephant, so the attendant put that
much of the bitter drug in bucket
full Of oats and gave the mixture TO
the elephant, but the animal was too
wise for that. After one taste he pick
ed up the bucket by the handle and
scattered the contents all over the
ground. Then some one suggested
that they get an apple, cut hole in II
and put the quinine inside the apple.
but evidently the elephant had seen
that trick before, because as soon as
they gave him the apple he placed II
on the ground, smashed It with his
foot. blew the quinine away and ate
the remainder OF the good apple. Then
one of the boys said why don't you
get him some chocolate covered quiz
nine?" The attendant purchased a
supply OF the drug coated with choco-
late. and the elephant. thinking the
pellets were candy, Immediately ate
them. II requires a good deal OF
strategy to fool wise old elephant.

adequately to deal with corporations,
which are essential TO modern bust
ness. but which, under the decisions
OF the courts. and because OF the
Observation-Disclosures Of the public have
become the chief factors in political
and business debasement. But it
would be just as bad TO put the cor
troll of the government into the hands
of demagogues and Missionaries who
seek TO pander TO ignorance and
prejudice by penalizing thrift and
business enterprise, and running all
men Of means, with, as an attendant
result, the ruin OF the entire com
munity. The tyranny of politicians
with a bureaucracy behind them and a
mass OF ignorant people supporting
them would be just as insufferable
as the tyranny of big corporations.
The sinister and adroit reactionary
the sinister and violent radical, are
alike in this, that each works in the
end for the destruction OF the cause
that he professedly champions.
Unrestricted individualism.
1t has been shown beyond power or
REPUTATION that unrestricted individu-
alism, for instance, means the destruc-
ton of our forests and our water sup
| ply. The dogma OF "fndividualism
cannot be permitted TO interfere with
the duty OF great city To see that
Ihouseholders, small as well as big, live
in decent and healthy buildings. drink
good water and have the streets ade-
quately lighted and kept clean. lndi-
vldual initiative, the reign of individ-
ualsm. may be crushed out just as
effectively by the unchecked growth
OF private monopoly IL the state does
not interfere at all, as 1t would be
crushed out under communism, or as
ii would disappear, together with
everything else that makes life worth
living. II we adopted the tenets or
the extreme Socialists.
In 1896 the party OF discomfort met
with a smashing defeat for the very
reason that. together with legitimate
attacks on real abuses. they combined
wholly illegitimate advocacy even of
the methods OF dealing with these real
abuses, and in addition stood for
abuses of their own which, in far
reaching damage, would have cast
quite into the shade the effects Of the
abuses against which they varied. 1t
moral progress OF the country that
these forces should be beaten: and
beaten they were, overwhelmingly.
Government and Monopoly.
It would be easy to name several
big corporations, each one OF which
has within its sphere crushed out all
competition so as TO make, not only
its rivals, but it's customers, as de-
pendent upon it as IL the government
had assumed complete charge of the
product 1t would, In my Judgment,
be very unhealthy thing for the gov
eminent thus TO assume complete
charge: but II Is even more unhealthy
to permit private monopoly thus to
assume II.
There must be-law to control the
big men, and therefore especially the
big corporations. In the industrial
world. In the interest OF our industrial
democracy OF today. This law must
be efficient. and therefore 1t must he

not by lawsuits In the courts. II this
