Resolution Censuring Judge
Fox and Prosecutor Be-
ing Discussed.
DEALT WITH BULLA CASE
COPY OF RESOLUTION HAS BEEN
WITHHELD, ALTHOUGH IT WAS
STATED THAT IT WOULD BE
GIVEN TO PRESS.

The secrecy displayed by the physi-
clans of the city following their meet
ing, in which action was taken on a
resolution dealing with some of their
fellow practitioners, has become puz-
zlins. The resolutions are said to
have made reference to the former
prose cutting attorney, Wilfred Jessup.
and the judge of the circuit court. be-
cause of the dismissal of the case
against DR.. J. NJ. Bulla. Before the
meeting one of the physicians stated a
copy of the resolution would be given
to the press, but afterward it was with
held. There is some feeling among
attorneys that the resolution in it's
terms, may have constituted contempt
oil court.
Local physicians are as we'll organ
lied as any secret society. Not only
Goes their organization dictate matters
of practice. but a schedule of rates has
been adopted and this must be met by
the patients. The competition that
might be expected to exist among the
profession does not appear.

loafers.

From the LeavenWorth Times
Why is a loafer, anyway? If the
loafer at the very best does no good
for himself he certainly harms those
with whom he comes in contact We
have frequently heard the remark
that there is but Is cents difference
between the man who works and the
man who doesn't, and that the latter
has it. When particularly the young
men of a town see loafer who some
how manages to get along on no in
come, they are inclined to believe
that the world owes them living
also and work becomes Objectionable
to them. when it should be pleasure
We have too much patience with loaf
ers. We should learn from the bee,
which, when it can secure conclusive
evidence against the drone, drives him
out. A loafer is vagrant. He ought
to be treated as such unless he can be
compelled to go to work. In Leaven-
worth. for instance, there are loafers,
and this in spite of the fact that there
is an abundance of employment here
II under these circumstances these
loafers refuse to work. they should be
compelled to get out of town, or stay
at home, where they could not exert a
bad influence upon others by their
idleness.

it not to act, especially since 1t is well
known that Tom Taggart is his friend.
The duty of the chief executive of the
state is to enforce the laws to the Ut
most of his ability, and no amount Of
failure or slipshod work ON the part OF
the legislature. excuses him. And it
will be all the more to his credit if
he does act and act independently.
For what will the governor have lefs
soon? He has practically done away
with his duty to supervise the legisla-
ton with the veto. If he attempts to
side-step law enforcement he will soon
do away with that also. and must con-
tent himself with routine business. M
Marshall demands the evidence against
French Lick gambling. and he also de-
mands that the informer be not anony-
nous. But it does seem that the gov
ernor should display little initiative
and not try to lean back. Evidence
against MOST ol that sort Ol lilLS Is
not easy to obtain always, unless pur-
sued
Even if this is a political trap. Sc:
for Marshall. as has been hinted--the
governor can not be censured for at
tending to the affairs of the state rath-
er than playing the highly interesting
game Of politics.
Otherwise, the people of the state
will have some reason, however ILL
founded, for thinking that if Mr.. Tag
CART had been a republican leader, and
not democratic boss, the machinerv
of the state would be acting and the
voice of the governor would be hear'l.

LITTLE NIAGARA.

When the astute individuals har-
messed little Niagara and made her
furnish electric power and dividends
on rights which have something to dc
with shady dealings and the despoil-
alton of natural property they con.
graduated themselves.
Just now the congress of the land
not having been willing to take hand
in protecting Niagara-that river
seems by some inspiration Of poetic
justice to have started little cam
paign of her own.
After the various dams and turbines
and dynamos had been well started
she freezes over, gets an ice jam from
the lakes behind her and then waits
with the patience of a giant to see
what damage she can do.
So far they think she can do only
81, 000,O worth.
Those who play with Niagara,
whether they go down to the whirl-
pool in barrels or whether they mere.
ly manufacture electricity may learn
that Little Niagara is not SO much of
an easy mark as they think.

Great Waterfalls Frozen SOL
idly Sunday by a HowIing
Southwestern, and the Roar
Is SiIenced.
RESULTING DAMAGE is
PLACED AT A MILLION
Before the Mighty Rush of
Waters ReneWS Its Activi-
ties There Will Have to Be
Warm Sunshine.

Buffalo, n. Y, April 1.-THE voice
of Niagara was mute Sunday for the
second time in the memory of man.
The first time was late in February,
when, following a severe northerly
blow, the falls ran dry. Now, follow
ing a severe Southwestern. the river is
frozen solid from bank to bank.
Unprecedented weather has brought
about unprecedented conditions. On
Wednesday of last week the worst
lent in the history of the Weather
Bureau for April was recorded, and
following the lakes and the channel OF
the Niagara left ruin in it's wake.
Ice Is Piled High.
The solid ice fields of Lake Erie
were churned from end to end and
piled in huge mass at the lower end
of the lake.
At Niagara Falls there had been a
heavy ice bridge in the pool below the
cataract since the middle of winter.
Under the impact of the mass Of ice
floods brought down by the wind, the
bridge gave way and began to surge
down the rapids.
But before it could win freedom in
the ample waters of Lake Ontario
the wind shifted again to the north.
Instantly the moving foes packed at
the mouth Of the river. Each instant
- he
idly and each hour brought added
pressure from above.
BY Leaps and Bounds.
Unable to escape by it's natural
channels, the level of the river rose
by leaps and bounds. The highest
flood level recorded from previous
years is % feet above the normal.
Friday night the river was 40 feet
above normal.
Water poured over the window
stills of the power house of the Ontario
Power company and flooded the ma
chimes. The tracks of the great gorge
route were covered from the lower
steel arch bridge to Lewiston. Con-
sentative estimates place the damage
at $1,O00,O0O
All day long a constant stream of
visitors poured down the railway
tracks, the trolley tracks, packed the
trains and the cars and even rode and
walked cross country to see a sight
that is not likely to repeat itself with
in the present generation.
Under a brilliant sun the river lay
white and glittering. All estimates of
ultimate damage are conditioned by
what the weather may have in store.
To Melt Gradually.
The best that can be hoped for is a
succession of calm, warm days. Then
the ice will melt gradually and SUBJ
side bit by bit. Already it has sunk
five, and in spots ten feet, as the sup
port of the water beneath has been
withdrawn.
The worst that could happen would
be another violent blow from the
southwest. BY no means all the ice
in the lake is out. For the moment
the upper reaches of the river are run
ming clear, but as far as the eye can
see, the white mantle of the frost
blankets the lake. If that great mass
should be driven down onto the jam
below, the damage would be inconceiv-
able.

A WOMAN BEHIND HIM.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

~ "OCU1AN OA0AENO
Doubtless some Of us asked ourselves
this question on Feb. %:
What made George Washington
great?
And the answer that some Of us ar
rived at was this:
His mother
Do you remember that rule in phys
les about finding the striking force OF
a moving body? You multiply-if We
remember correctly-the velocity Of TIT
body by it's weight, and you thereby
figure out the impact or striking force
of the body.
Just so Of a man.
If you will multiply his best per
sonal endeavors by his heredity you
will get the impact OF that man upon
the society Of his day.
Therefore If you would figure the
greatness of Washington you should
multiply the man by his mother.
George Washington was PECULIARLY q
mothers boy"
His father died when he was but ter
children, Of whom George was the old
est, and upon her frstborn she put the
impact of her forceful character.
At the age of sixteen sturdy George
wanted to run away and seek adven
lures, but his mother kept tight grip
on the boys affections, and he stayed.
Mary Washington was a great wo
man.
The test came when the thunder
clouds of black war gathered over the
devoted head Of the American colo
nists. The Washingtons We're wealthy
landowners, whose natural ties were
with the aristocracy Of the new world
Which side would they take?
The son of Mary Washington, nobly
backed by his splendid mother, cast
his lot with the struggling patriots.
Even when congress turned coward
and he was beset with spies and jeal
Gus generals it was the spirit of his
self sacrificing mother that kept him
on the field Of honor.
And when the long, red years Of wal
were ended it was the mother in him
that asked no greater reward than to
peacefully retire to his quiet farm.
He was no conquering Napoleon; he
had a patriot mother.
1t is peculiarly gratifying to know
that Mary Washington lived to see the
boy Of her pride made the first presi
dent of the republic. She was justified
in her son.
You cannot understand George Wash
ington unless you know about his
motherN
Where got he that self abnegation
high courage, patience and faith in the
right?
There was a woman behind him.

No other medicine for woman's ills

VIOLET COSTS A LIFE.

Cleveland. o., April Ia When
picking the first violet she had
found this year eight-year-old Cecil
Boyd was run down by train and
instantly killed on the Lake Shore
Railroad tracks of Detroit street,
Sunday.
Cecil had left her home half an
hour before to go to church with
her little friend, Mary Smerda.
who lives next door. Cecil pro-
posed that they go down by the
railroad tracks and hunt for vio-
lets.
Cecil was the first to find bud.
and in her excitement to show it tc
her friend ran upon the railroad
track directly in front of a fast
train.
The pilot Of the engine hit the
child and tossed her into the air
When picked up she was dead. the
bud tightly clutched in grimy fin
gers.

THE STANDARD AND THE TARIFF.

The discovery that the Payne bill
has accumulated in some occult way a
schedule which places twenty per-
cent duty on petroleum products,
while admitting crude oil, and refined
petroleum on the free list will not be
pleasing to the great mass of Ameri-
cans who do not own stock Or receive
retaining fees from the Standard Oil
company. ,.....
There has been great amount of
criticism of Serene Payne who declar-
ed that his tariff bill had no such
thing in it and Rep. Crumpacker of
this state has come to the fore In his
defense saying that that as far as
Serene is concerned there has been
no trickery and chicanery. 1t makes
no difference in the minds of most
of us whether or not Mr.. Payne is e.
spohsible or not. If that is the way
the tariff bill is at present and that
is the way the tariff bill goes through
it may as we'll be one man as another,
as far as the effect on the public is
concerned
II there is one industry in this coun-
try which does not need protection
1t ID the Standard Oil company And
everybody knows it. The people need
not be surprised that after the dis
closures of certain letters made last
fall during the campaign that the
Standard has come in again in the
same mysterious" way.
1t will go hard for the republican
party and with the men who vote for
this measure if there are very many
such things which get into the tariff
There is no doubt that the majority
The mass of the people understand
that in order to get revenue certain
pie also know that this does not mean
protection of the gigantic corporations
which do not need it.
On such things there is only one
thing to do. TO find out the respon-
sible congressman who are standing in
the way and to remember them when
the time comes for reelection Just
at present that fact does not seem to
have very much weight with the men
in congress. But the most of us will
bear certain things in mind if we do
not get what We were promised. That
is real tariff revision. 1t might be
well for Mr.. Barnard to be careful
about his actions on the tariff bill. If
he does what his constituents have a
right to expect from his declarations.
he will keep out of trouble.

ANOTHER PHASE,

Those who have followed Governor
Marshalfs official actions SO far. have
been exceedingly interested in the lit
tie problem which Mr.. Taggart' 5
French Lick is presenting
Briefly stated. the main points seem
to be that there is something doing
down at that watering place. which fur
nishes a rapid means for money to
change hands more suddenly than is
thought desirable by the laws agains,
gambling. This has not been We.
demonstrated, although certain indi-
vidual OF unknown fame. has taken ii
upon himself to acquaint the governor
of the fact. The governor refuses to
act against the establishment of his
friend, Mr.. Taggart. until the veil CT
anonymity is raised and the accuser
stands revealed.
Added to this. also. is the fact that
the last legislature took away the. pow
er OF the governor over the police CT
the state by repeating the metropo'-
itan police law. More than that, law
was introduced, but not passed. by the
legislature, to make the grand juries
open to the suggestions Of The state ex-
ecutive.
So Mr.. Marshall can. with the legal
training and general acumen of his
calling, put up very good reason Ga
I'll these grounds. for not acting.
Nevertheless Il viii not do him cred
