In the case Of Commissioners
VS.. Jacobs recently decided by
the supreme court of Kansas it
was held that where the county
built a bridge in such a manner
as to make a stream overflow
and injure an adjoining prop
erty owner, the latter could not
recover against the county in
the absence of a statute express
ly authorizing such a recovery.
1t was so decided upon the
theory that the county was a
branch of the state government
and could not be held liable
when performing public duties
imposed upon it.
The question of how far a city
or county is liable for damages
caused by it's officers in perform
ing public functions has been be-
fore courts many times and with
different holdings in the various
states. The general rule is that
the city or county is not liable
when the negligence complained
of is in connection with the per-
Torrance of some governmental
function, but is liable if it is in
connection with some construct
ual matter not involved in gov
ornamental function.
The old rule that "The King
can do no wrong" apparently
underlies the law that relieves
states, counties and cities from
liability in carrying out govern
ment duties. In this state
counties and cities are held liable
for damages occurring by reason
of defective roads, but not for in
juries done by fire departments
and like public agencies.

Hanson To Gust Humphrey.

The Forum, a weekly paper
published in Tacoma, in a recent
editorial article, advocates the
retirement of Congressman w.
E. Humphrey, and the election
Of State Representative Ole Han
son, to fill the position. The
Gazette-Newe is inclined to the
opinion that Mr.. Hanson's nut"
is just a little bit swelled over
his success in getting through
the legislature his anti-race track
gambling bill; and we are fur
ther inclined to the opinion that
his aspirations regarding a seat
in Congress are doomed to a GER
tain and early demise. George
town Gazette-News.
Mr.. Hanson may seem at times
quite enthused over his work at
Olympia in the legislature, but
we do not believe he is troubled
with the swelled nut" He
has reasons to be proud of his
legislative record even though
he should not run for Congress.
Worse statesmen than Ole Han
son have gone to Congress after
opposing stronger men than Will
E. Humphrey.

A GrOuchy Democrat.

1t is said that Ole Hanson, of
anti-race track fame, is casting
covetous eyes at the congress-
ional shoes worn by Humphrey
of the first district and that the
irrepressible Paulhamus has a
hankering, too, to go to Wash
ington as the successor of Con-
gresham Cushman, that is in
case the lean and hungry states
man now misrepresenting the
people of the second DISCREET in
Joe Cannon's aggregation,
makes good his threat to quit
the game. 1t is also an open
secret that Speaker Meigs. the
smoothest statesman of the
entire bunch, has got his
weather eye on the official job
now held by "Insurgent" Poin-
dexter, and is likely to give the
tall sycamore of Spokane a run
for his money in 1910. Of
course it all depends, they say to
their friends. and so it does.
Meanwhile it will strike good
many people as a joke that any
body should regard the eleventh
legislature as an incubator of
the real thing in craftsmanship.
-Yackima Democrat.
Say fellew you have crouch.
If those fellows aspire to go to
Congress is it not a laudable am
bition? Go chase yourself!

BENCH AND BAR.

A perplexing and novel ques-
tion relating to the taxing power
of 9 state was decided by the
United States supreme court in
Buck VS.. Beach, 27 Supreme
Court Reporter, 712, 206 United
States 1872, 81 L. Ed. In this
case it appears that a resident
of New York had made loans to
residents of Ohio on notes given
and payable in Ohio and secured
by mortgages on land in the lat
ter state. The payee of the
notes had an agent in Ohio to
look after his interests there,
and another in Indiana to take
charge of his investments in
that state. For some reason it
appears that the notes given and
payable in Ohio were, for a con-
siderable length of time, kept in
the possession of the Indiana
agent. While the notes were in
the possession of this agent, the
Indiana authorities assessed
them for taxation and attempted
to collect thereon, principally on
the ground that the notes were
transferred from the Ohio agen-
cy to the Indiana agency in order
to escape taxation in Ohio. But
the court denies the right of In
diana to collect taxes on such
notes, Mr.. Justice Day, howev-
filing a dissenting opinion.

COtterill's Ich For Office.

George F. Cotterill of Seattle
is being groomed for mayor.
George has a terrible itching for
office. There is something out
of whack when he does not bob
up for office at least twice a
year. Any and everything goes.
And, like Bryan, he appears to
be making money out of it. He
was formerly with an itinerant
theatrical company, touring the
southern and eastern states.
George is a good talker, belongs
to the engineers union, and in
the capacity as posing as a
friend of the down-trodden
workiAg-man is giving it a polit-
ical finish. But there are
others. = Colfax Gazette.
Senator Cetterill has not ex-
actly got the Office itch, but he
is a good seller and his party
being scarce of such, puts him
up every bargain day.

Fall House Cleaning Notes.

The terrors of house cleaning will
soon be only an unpleasant memory.
With the vacuum cleaner to be used
in homes that are wired for electric
ity the cleaning problem is an easy one.
In the sensible homes that are not
filled with bric-a-brac a room may be
cleaned without the upheayal of the
family comfort.
Many like to clean the kitchen cab
met or pantries shelf at time, aft
er the morning work is done, and be-
fore one knows it the dreaded pantry
is fresh and in perfect order.
Have plenty of brown bags to wipe
down the walls of the rooms and
some kept for the floors.
Bare floors with rugs are so SAM
tary that soon carpets will be the ex-
ception.
On nice, bright day, air the bed
ding from one room and the clothing
from the closet This might be man
aged on the regular upstairs sweep
ing day, just sighting the other rooms
enough to save the time A room at
a time this way, when done, one hard
ly realizes that the house cleaning is
done.

enue only can be fixed policy of the
federal government. The democratic
party has a hard task before it when
it attempts to overthrow the protect
i've system reared by the republican
party, but it is not an impossible
task. Those democrats who endorse
the position taken by the Times Her
aid are worse than useless in the tar
iff reform fight-they are allies of
the enemy. They hang about the rear
of the marching army and play the
part of buhswhackers. sThey would
do a great deal less harm if they an
nounced themselves as protectionists
and no longer wore the uniform of
the tariff reformer-Dallas Times

An Interesting Story.

A press notice says:
1t is a matter of record that dra-
matizations of popular novels are one
of the most profitable forms of the
atrical enterprise, if the dramatization
succeeds in approXimating the nara
tive of the play; but only when it
succeeds in reproducing the atmos-
phere of the book is the dramatized
novel success, and one of the best
examples of complete sympathy be-
tween the printed story and the acted
play is to be found in Neil Twomey's
realization of Augusta ]. Evans st
Elmo" No novel of southern life or
indeed no novel of any classification
has given the reader a more virile or
interesting character than that of St
Elmo Murray, who wars against him
self and the world and against his
own nobler and better nature until
the softening influence of truly
noble girl provides him with the in
centive to conquer his evil genius.
Mr.. Twomey is dramatic author of
experience and every eXpedient of a
master of stagecraft has been en-
ployed to reproduce with absolute fl
deity to the original the charming
southern atmosphere of this famous
novel. The book numbers its admir-
ers by the hundred thousands and the
play is rapidly gaining the same need
Of favor. 1t will be seen interpreted
BY an exceptionally able cast at the
New Temple Theatre on Thanksgiving
lay, Nov. 25, matinee and night.

Good Ways of Using Up Cold Coffee.
In spice cakes, gingerbreads and
such cakes use the coffee in place of
milk or water A custard is delicious
favored with coffee. A delicious des-
sert may be made of one cupful of
strong coffee three-fourths of cup
full of sugar, three tablespoonfuls of
gelatine, two pints of water and the
whites of two eggs. Serve with
whipped cream.
AS filling for cake, coffee may be
used with the sugar for boiled frost
ing.
A sauce to be served with vanilla
ice cream is, made as follows: scald
one cupful of milk, add one cupful
of cold coffee, onesthird of cupful
of sugar, three-fourths of table
spoonful of arrow root or a table
spoonful of constarch with speck of
salt, Cook for six or eight minutes
and serve hot.

Mr.. BRYAN COMES BACK.

Hon. w. J. Bryan compliments the
Times Herald on its frankness and
candor. The Commoner, edited by
the Nebraska chieftain, contains the
following editorial:
The Dallas Times Herald has eX-
hibited more frankness and candor
than those Texas democrats who favor
protection, but who are unwilling to
have the name protectionist demo,
-riiTes nTTdIu declares
that protection is the fixed policy of
the federal government" and builds
up the remainder of its argument up
on that assumption. 1t insists that
the man who works in the Texas saw
mills is entitled to some protection. p"
This is the old story of graft and
privilege. 1--WE can't stop the graft,
therefore let's get our share" 1--WE
can't prevent the granting of privi-
leges, therefore why not get some
privileges This is the logic of the
democratic protectionist. He is at the
halfway station between a revenue
tariff and ultra protection-more
than half way toward the protection
lists camp. He is usless as a tariff
reformer became he has to spend all
his time getting what he calls his
share, and when he has secured his
share he cannot conscientiously OBJ
ject to other people having their share.
The only motto that he can perma-
nently have is division and silence"
Are the Texas democrats ready to
endorse the position taken by the
Times Herald? Are they ready to
admit that protection" is the fixed
policy of the federal government" If
so, why continue the farce of pretend
ing to favor tariff reform or tariff
for revenue only? The whole conten-
ton of the democratic tariff reformer
rests upon the theory that protection
is not the fixed policy of the federal
government, but that tariff for rev.

ON TO TERRELL.

1t is evident that the men of Ter.

The Lancaster Herald says:
Thirty of the strongest financial
and business men of Dallas, Mesquite,
Forney and Terrell have subscribed
all money necessary to form a prelim-
mary interurban company, and the
work of surveying and securing right
of-way will commence at once. Since
this action on the part of these citi-
zens was taken strong financial insti-
buttons have asked to be considered
when it came to financing the propo-
sition. The Texas Mesquiter says
this is the first inteurban news of any
consequence the paper has ever had
the privilege of publishing, and the
editor, John E. Davis, thinks the pros
pect for the early building of the road
very bright. We trust he and his peo-
pie will not be disappointed. They
are to be congratulated on their en-
terprise and push.
