RICHARD CROKeR'S LAMENT.

Richard Croker who ran the
Tammany machine until folks be
gan to ask impertinent questions
andsthen ran away to Ireland, but
who is now home temporarily, is
quoted as uttering this pearl of
wisdom:
Europe can give us points on
personal liberty. Here we stopped
horse racing, one of the grandest
sports there is. We class it as a
crime. We legislate as to what a
man shall drink. The whole ques-
ton will resolve itself to this:
Well make our money here but
will go to Europe to enjoy it.
There are only few misstate-
ments in Mr.. Croker's protest.
Horse racing has not been stopped
in this country, but some of the
States forbid gambling and pool
selling as an accompaniment TO
racing. Racing has not been class
ed as a crime in the United States.
Neither do I'VE legislate as TO
what and when a man shall drink. "
Legislation prohibits no man from
drinking, but it does specify
where, when and under what cir
cumstances Intoxicating liquors
may be sold. This is also done
in Europe, though restrictions as
to time and day are not as strict as
in this country. well make our
money here" declares Mr.. Croker
"but will go to Europe to enjoy
it. " If it were desired to be per-
sonal, this might be amended in
Mr.. Cookers case to read get"
instead of make" At any rate
there is grave doubt whether
Tammany's distinguished son is
deriving real enjoyment from his
expatriation. Be that as it may,
there is slight danger that this
country will languish, or suffer
over much deprivation, as a conse-
quence of migration by our rich
men to other shores to "enioy"
the money they make on this side.
At most they will be few in num-
Der, and Just in proportion that
they cease to make" money here
once they have accumulated a suf-
fciency, there will be opportunity
for Others to foregather with
competency.-Pittsburg Gazette
Times.

USED BY REV0LUTIONISTS
War Department to Stop the Selling
of Discarded Arms.

Cumulative evidence which has
reached Washington convinces the
officials that had he been permitted
to remain in the vicinity of Vene-
zuela, former President Castro
would have made an effort to re-
coup his lost prestige in that coun-
try. The former presidents utter
ances in Germany. indicating a
sentiment in some sectious of Ven
eZuela favorable to him and to his
ambitions, and other advices,
strongly support the view that
Castro felt hopeful of again restor-
ing himself in public favor in
Venezuela, if chance were given
him.
No more cheap revolutions in
neighboring countries will be en-
Corraged in the easy manner in
which it has been to purchase the
old arms of the United States.
Orders have been issued at the
war department stopping the sell
ing of discarded arms. 1t has
been reported at various times
that revolutionists in Central and
South America obtained arms from
the United States.
1t remained, however, for the
police Of Chicago to complain that
the sale of old Springfield rifles,
recently discarded, was causing
trouble for them. That nplaint
was followed by an order against
the sale of the remaining 5000
rifles by auction. These rifles
may be sold to patriotic organiza-
tions only.

UNIQUE SPORTING EVENT
Western Athletes Will Race to the
Top of a 5000 Foot Mountain.

Crack athletes from all over
the west are entered in a race to
the top of Mt. Wilson, north of
Pasadena, Cal. The unique char
aCter of the event and its great
success last year have aroused
much interest among the sports
and Others attracted by endurance
contests and have drawn runners
DESTROYS of making the 5000 foot
ascent in quicker time than made
by Joe King last year. There is
little doubt that Kings record, I
hour Is minutes so seconds will be
broken.
Last years race consisted of the
ascent to the top of the mountain
and the descent, but this year the
ascent alone will count. The de-
scent is considered too dangerous
for men trying to make time. On
the way up and down Mount Will
son the runners cross numerous
streams and wind around canyons
over 5000 feet deep.
At least thirty men will face the
starter and will be sent away at in
tervals of three minutes. Only
amateur athletics are eligible to
enter the race. The winners will
receive medals

in the debate They relate largely
to promotions. 1t is charged that
the division chief is made a petty
boss by the present system, and
that persons who do not kotow to
the division chief are apt to get
the worst of it." Senator William
Alden Smith intimated conditions
in some of the divisions which he
could not discuss publicly-condi-
tons arising out of the determine
ton of the division chief to dictate
the conduct of female employees.
Moreover, there is much criti-
cism that, while the civil service
system is supposedly removed from
the domain of politics, it is not so
removed by any means, and pull"
and influence are still potent, es-
pecially as to promotions. The

is IN SESSION AT JACKSON AND
WILL GO OVER THE BOOKS
THIS WEEK.
Directors of the Union Warehouse
Will Consider the Consolidation
Of the Memphis With the
jackson Office.

| JACKSON, Miss. July 1.-THE
state executive board of the Farmers
Union is in session here and will be
for the greater part of the week, 60
ing over the books and accounts and
| routine of the office covering the past
quarters work.
There was meeting of the board
of directors of the Farmers Union
Warehouse Company, the first since
the board was elected a few weeks
ago. This meeting is a special one,
and while there will be much routine
work before it, it is expected that
most of the session will be given over
to the plan for the consolidation of
this million dollar concern with the
one which has been in operation for
some time with its domicile in Men,
phs. The consolidation if effected
will doubtless mean the removal of the
Memphis office to the city of Jack
son, as being the most central point
for operations in the territory cover
ed.
There is chance that only a part
of the Tennessee companys stock
may be absorbed by the Mississippi
organization, and that the Memphis
concern will continue to operate in
Tennessee. There are details yet to
be worked out, and it is now believed
that satisfactory agreement can be
reached between the two concerns
without friction or serious differences.
In the matter of getting up the stock
for the million dollar concern. it is
stated that the success of the promot-
ers in this respect has been almost
especially in view Of the
somewhat adverse crop conditions
which prevail throughout the state
with the exception of few small IA
vored spots.
Although intended primarily for
farmers and members of the union,
and to take up the stock of the indi-
vidual warehouses operating in the va
rious towns it is stated that many
merchants and other bust
ness men have taken large blocks of
the stock as an investment.

SENATOR BAILEY SELLS
TEXAS STOCK FARM

GALVESTON, Tex, July THE
sale of Senator Jos. w. Bailey's stock
farm and his last piece of real estate
in Texas, revives the rumor- that h.
is soon going to quit Texas. The SEN
ator denies this, however, and de-
clares he parted with the stock farm
simply because he cannot afford the
luxury. n
Just why he finds he can no longer
support this place, which report has
it he spent more than 100000, and
which brought in big returns is not
made known. The property consists
of 400 acres of land in Cooke county
not far from the Senator's home al
Gainesville, touching the city limits
He sold to H. E. Allen, of Richmond
KY, who plans to continue it as a
stock farm to raise Kentucky thor
oughbreds. The consideration men
toned is $4,000.
This makes the third and most val
liable farm the senator has converted
into cash within the past eighteen
months. 1t is said at one time he had
this farm stocked with racing stock
valued at $250,0oO, and that he had
refused $4,000 for he land alone.

ASSESSMENT
ROLLS SHOW
Big INCREASE
1T is EXPECTED THAT 1T WILL
GO TO MORE THAN TEN
MILLION DOLLARS.
A Substantial increase Will Put the
States Finances in Good Condition
Something Much Desired.

JACKSON, Miss, July 1.-THE per
sonality and realty assessment roll
on which the state and county taxei
for the year 1909 will be based, were
filed with the boards of supervisor.
in the majority of the counties @
Mississippi today.
In some instances, however, assess
ors have been unable to complete theil
rolls, and will doubtless be given the
usual thirty-day extension of time
in which to finish the labor.
While the actual figures are not
obtainable. it is believed that the state
assessment this year will show an
increase of from $10,O00,O00 to $15,-
100000, exclusive of the advance in
the railroad assessment, which is ex-
pected to be between 100000 and
$4,000, 900.
A twenty million dollar increase in
values, at the present tax levy means
an increase in the states revenues of
about $4,000, and it comes at a good
time, since the treasury has been mar
rowly skirting the edge of deficit for
several weeks.
The assessment rolls will remain on
file with the clerks of boards of gu
pervisors for a thirty-day period, dur.
ing which property-owner will be
given opportunity to examine the
lists and prepare any protests thev
may desire to file. The work Of equal
ization will be taken up in August
After the equalization work is flu
ished duplicate copies of the rolls will
be forwarded to the state auditor fc-
approval. This, however, is a very
formal proceeding, the auditor having
no power to revise assessments. or to
reject the rolls unless It should be

the Bureau of Animal Industry, and
George P. McCabe, solicitor of the de-
partment, which investigated the
charges of J. F. Harms that the fed
eral meat inspection service at East

reported that the inspectors there
were honest men and were performia Z

meat had been passed which was unfit

The report. which was submitted to
the Secretary today and approved by
him, is an exhaustive presentation OF
the case. The committee states that
its investigation was most searching,
and that it failed to reveal any trac
of dishonesty upon the part of any
employe at the East st. Lous station.
