HAsKELL's LATEST oUrBREAK.

HASRELL'S LATEST OUTBREAK.
Charles N. Haskell, governor OF
Oklahoma, has assumed another en-.
viable role by his attempt to impede
the progress OF justice in an Okla
homa case In which he is an interested
party. On a warrant charging ICON.
spiracy TO defame," Haskell has
caused the arrest Of an attorney who
has been engaged in Oklahoma in Sc
curing evidence for W. R. Hearst. who
is defendant In a 100000 libel suit
brought by Haskell. In addition to
causing the arrest of the attorney,
Haskell has had his papers, including
letters from his wife, his private bank
account and other documents Of that
kind, taken from the attorney and
placed In the hands Of the court, after
having first been examined by the at
torneys of the governor. Charging
that the attorneys and others were
working mp false testimony against
him, Haskell says:
I paid no attention to them until re-
Gently, when 1 learned that they were
disappointed at not finding anything
truthful to use against me, whereupon
apparently they became desperate and
began offering large sums of MONEY to
persons TO aid in manufacturing false
statements. In several instances. 1 am
reliably advised, they have used the ex-
precision I'VE have the money ana are
willing to give it to you If you will
help us"
1t is not Hearst alone, but there are
other interested parties in the conspiracy,
and with the main purpose OF injuring
me they combined their efforts. I have
nothing further to add except that the
arrest OF Mr.. MscReynolds is only the
beginning, and other conspirators will
have the same opportunity to square
Themselves with a Jury of honest people.
The famous Oklahoma constitution
is recognized as something of a catch
all, but it Is doubted II even that all
embracing document will furnish war
rant for Haskell's high-handed
methods. None will question Mr.
Hearst's right to secure all the in
formation, records and other data OBJ

brought against him by Haskell. He
has a perfect and unquestioned right to
employ attorneys, detectives or other
means he deems advisable in securing
this data and Haskell's attempt to Sc
cure this data or prevent Hearst's
agents from securing 1t is an outrage
OF law, decency and good citizenship.
Haskell has his remedy In the courts
In case Hearst present false testimony
against him and full ecourse in the
law for any wrong that may be per-
petrated or attempted upon him. He
Is no more justified in using a
trumped-up charge through the courts
to secure the attorneys papers than
he would have had to have used a
hiehwayman's blackjack to the same
end.

These are the figures for calendar years.
The showing for the fiscal year ending
June 30 last shows a much greater loss.
But as that fiscal year, three-quaTters OF
which were during and subsequent to the
panic. was worse than this showing It is a
mathematical consequence that the last six
months of 1905 were by so much the better.
1t is, therefore, a moderate statement of
the case to point out that railroad earnings
last year were only exceeded in railroad
history by those for 1907, being 500, OO, 900 in
excess Of those for the prosperous year OF
1906. Also that the same thing is true of
earnings per mile OF road, though to less
degree, the excess of earnings per mile in
1908 over 1906 being $3.50.

THE MODERN A
Baltimore American.


"a woman who advertised for a husband,
giving her property qualifications, received
LOCO proposals., believed to be more than
airy other woman in the world ever re-
ceived)
She was homely, she had no money.
No family had she,
But a character without q peer,
And a soul of sweet purity.
no one came to court her,
All lonely was her life;
sho'd have blessed a home, had an offer
come,
But none asked her to be wife.
She was young and fresh and pretty,
With a fluffy pompadour
OF yellow hair, but no brains to spare,
And of sense but little store.
But a dozen came to court her,
And their number was her pride,
Fer Of maids she knew there were very
few
By so many begged as bride.
She had lands in fee and money,
And her head II was business sized;
So to gain a mate. her good estate
In the papers she advertised.
A thousand came to court her,
They mobbed her for her hund;
And she had her pick, did this maiden
slick,
For man did she understand.

Nebraska's Reformer sink Achieves
some Publicity.

SAAN
Charleston News and Courier
A bill has been introduced in the legisla-
ture Of Nebraska providing that all
hotels In that state shall be in
spected hereafter annually, that all
bedding must be aired and disinfected
at least once every three months, and that
in every wash room a clean Individual
towel must be furnished to each guest.
In addition, the bill provides that all hotels
shall provide each bed with pillow slips
and under and top sheets of white cotton
or linen, and that all such pillow slips and
sheets, after being used by one guest must
be washed before they are used by another
guest. The bill appears to be a very good
one, and we wish that a similar measure
might be introduced in the South Carolina
legislature, although we are nclined 70
think that there Is not as much demand
for legislation of this sort In South Caro-
lima as there Is in Nebraska If such a bill
should be introduced In the legislature at
Columbia, we would suggest an important
amendment-that all guests at the hotels
be required to take an all-over bath at
least once a day. This would be In the in
terest Of personal cleanliness, and 1t would
probably save the hotel keepers much wear
and tear upon their sheets and pillow cases
and bed covering generally,

WHArARB WE GOING TO DO ABOUT III

Nv.
A new fire engine house costing
~$30,226.85 stands at Twenty-irst and
Lake streets absolutely empty and I'M
used. This building was erected with
the proceeds of bonds of the city of
Omaha voted in November, 1905, the
bonds being issued January 1, 1906,
drawing interest at the rate of 4 per
cent per annum since that date. The
money was placed on deposit in the
banks at 2 per cent, being drawn out
as the work progressed, and final pay
ment was made In July last, when the
engine house was completed. The
building remains vacant because there
is no fire department equipment TO be
installed in 1t nor any FIRE company to
occupy 1t.
Another batch of fire engine house
bonds in the sum of 100000 was
voted on November 5, 1907, to buy a
site and erect a building at Twenty
fourth and Ames venue The bonds
we're sold May s, 1908, bearing Az
per C6uL luJSTSbJ. Every uOlldT TdlSSu
by the sale of these bonds Is now and
has been from that date on deposit in
the banks, bringing 2 per cent inter-
est. The site has never been bought
nor any steps taken toward construc-
ton of the building, and even II the
building we're erected there would be
nothing to put in It.
In the meantime, two Of the city's
fourteen fire engine houses are rented.
For one of them the city pays a rental
of $500 a year. IS a result of this
beautiful fnanciering, therefore, the
city, while occupying fire engine
houses for which 1t pays rent. has one
fire engine house absolutely vacant
and is loaning the money, which it
borrowed at An per cent to build an
other, to the banks at 2 per cent.
What are we going to do about It?

ABoLIsHlNG PENSION AGENCIES.


The house of congress has gone
through the annual farce of passing
the pension appropriation bill with a
clause providing for the abolishing Of
all of the pension agencies In the
country, with the exception of the one
at Washington. The bill will now go
to the senate, where, following prece-
dent, this provision of the bill will
probably be stricken out, and the
forces employed at the eighteen pen
sion agencies of the country restored
to the federal payroll.
Commissioners of pensions have en-
deavored for several years to have
the pension agencies abolished. There
are eighteen of these, maintained at
an annual cost OF about $500, 900, and
the authorities all agree that there is
no Just reason for their continuance.
Under the very liberal pension laws
that have been adopted by congress
there is practically no work left for
branch pension agencies, with their
force OF agents, clerks, b~ookkeepers,
physicians and expenses. However,
these employees have their personal
and political friends and these have
heretofore been influential enough to
prevent the senate's concurrence in
the house plans for economy. The
case furnishes another illustration OF
the extreme difficulty with which
congress succeeds In separating per-
sons from the payroll after they have
once been placed in the government
ennioy. -
