which have been allowed both on the
part or the prisoners and the Jallers.
It Is stated that certain women pris-

OF the charges, which electrified all

sensational testimony introduced in
which JaileF Rileysis made TO appear
in very bad light. 1T seeming that he
as well as men prisoners and certain

with female occupants of the Jail. 1t
ds alleged that large quantities of
liquor lot rarioa skiunds have been
brought into the Jail.
The scandal started some days ago.

Until a comparatively short time
ago the production of creosote from
both coal tar and wood tar far ex-
ceeded any demand for wood treating
purposes. However, the number or
wood preserving plants has grown so
rapidly within the last four years that
this country is not now able to supply
its own demand for coal tar creosote.
And encouraging progress has been
made by some of the more important
wood listiller who have been turning
to profit oils and tars which have here
tofore been wasted and converting
them into creosote, which is constant
ly increasing in favor for the preser-
walton of structural timber.

President Roosevelt's trip to Africa
is far more than mere pleasure trip
or hunting expedition. Mr.. Roosevelt
has for many years been an enthusiast
tic student of nature and has written
several valuable books on natural his
tory. His aim is not to kill for the
joy of the chase but to hunt out wild
things in their native haunts. that he
may preserve specimens and recor Il IN.
formation which shall be the basis Of
valuable field notes on the fauna of
the dark continent. Besides this, Mr.
Roosevelt undoubtedly feels that it
would be better both for himself AMI
for President Taft to remove himself
completely from the sphere of Ameri-
can politics and place himself in so
remote position that it will be i'm
possible to charge him with debating
to the Taft administration.
The Norfolk weekly news-journal., 1909-03-26

Two or three times before Professor
Starr had given utterance to similar
fears This was his final word:
No man can expect to go into the
dangerous climates of the African
wilds at fifty or more and come out
alive. The strange unidentified fevers
which abound there are withstood with
difficulty even by TIE youngest and
sturdiest blood. For man of the eX-
presidents age the attempt Is almost
suicidal.
In the tropics there is nothing more
dangerous than quick temper, such
as Mr. Roosevelt has. Sudden out
breaks of temper, it is well known,
frequently result fatally in these
re gions. The natives say that a man
dies from going into a rage
IT would be better If Mr. Roosevelt
you'd take a trip up the great lakes.
Pat Mr. Roosevelt was apparently
undauntei, as he went right on with
his scheduled plans and left New
York at 1909 o'clock for the region of
the wild animals.
One paper calls attention, in connec-
ton with the prospective hunt, to the
fact that the eX-president is not going
to kill the animals, but to collect
specimens. The killing, while quite
necessary, will be merely incidental.

Barely ten per cent of the funds re.

Lord Rothschild, the head of the
great English banking house, which

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET

Another municipal campaign is on
in Norfolk. Both the Republicans and
the Democrats have placed their can.
didates in the field.
There are many reasons why the
Republican ticket nominated Friday
night, should be endorsed by the aver
age citizen in Norfolk. Mayor Stur.
geon has served but one term, and has
served well. He is entitled to a re-
election for work we'll and conscien-
tiously performed.
The Sturgeon administration has
been neither drastic nor loose. The
city never has been more orderly than
during the past year. 1t has been an
administration of conservatism rather
than one going to extremes in any
direction.
The councilmanic candidates named
by the Republicans are representative
men in each instance and will, if elect
ed, make efficient councilmen.
The entire Republican ticket is one
of clean men, deserving support at the
polls.

The ratification by the senate of the
special agreement with Great Britain
concerning the Newfoundland fisheries
is looked upon as a step toward the
end of a controversy which began at

to settle this protracted wrangling
without avail Now, however, the
matter is submitted to the Hague
tribunal.

Dakota Warden.

Sioux Falls, S. d., Marcn 2U.-Spec-
ial to The News: For some time
there has been considerable speCula-
tion as to who would be appointed to
the position of warden of the Sioux
Falls penitentiary to succeed Warden
Harry Parmley, whose term will eX-
pire on May ; next. Warden Parmley
always has been affiliated with the
stalwart wing of the Republican party
in South Dakota, and as the progress
sive Republicans are in charge of state
affairs it has been regarded as unlike
ly that he would be reappointed. 1t
now is reported on apparently good
authority that o. S. Swenson of this
city, who served as warden of the
penitentiary Immediately prior to the
appointment of Mr.. Parmley, will
again be appointed to his old place
The appointment is expected to he
made by Governor Vessey prior to
May Is, so the new warden can AS
sumo the duties of the position at thn
expiration of the term of Warden
Parmley.

thing. He can also go to sleep at will

Few men possess this faculty. Napo-

JOKER" IN LUMBER TARIFF?

According to the National Forest
Conservation league there's a Joker
in the lumber tariff, as proposed. A
circular letter-one of the hundreds of
circular letters that newspapers will
receive henceforth from all sorts of
quarters regarding this and that pro,
posed schedule-has been issued to
paper, offering complaint. This is
the text of the message:
The lumber schedule of the bill the
ways and means committee has just
reported is profound disappointment
to the lumber consumer.
While the duty on rough lumber is
reduced from so to 81 the duty on
finished lumber in all forms is left so
high as to remain prohibitive.
Rough lumber, owing to transporta-
ton charges, cannot be imported into
tie United States except where water
transportation is available.
Consequently the reduction on rough
lumber is of no benefit whatever to
the farmers and other consumers in
the great interior country.
fihloheu lunDeT can De imported
because of the saving in railway rates
as compared with rough lumber if the
tariff permit it, but as proposed it
does not permit it.
About ninety per cent of the lumber
shipped from a mill by rail goes
through the planning mill before it is
put on the cars.
About the same percentage of the
lumber sold at a retail lumber yard is
planed or finished in some measure
That is to say, the ordinary consumer
OF lumber buys finished lumber al
most entirely.
And the lumber schedule as drafted
makes 1t impossible for him to get

Public school instruction in France

Public school instruction in France
ranks well with that of other nations,
but the report that of the young men
who were examined for the army dur
ing the past three years, one-fourth
were ignorant of the existence of Joan
of Arc and over half had never heard
of Napoleon Bonaparte, casts rather a
serious slur either on the schools or
the scholars.

Public sentiment will uphold the
verdict in the Cooper trial. There
was fear lest the Coopers might be
acquitted or that, at least, there
might be a disagreement. They were
after Carmack and that the murder
was deliberate, seems almost un-
questionable. For the sake of the
country it is well that conviction
was secured.

The Dingley tariff law which was
passed by an extra session of con-
gress, called by President Mckinley
within two days OF his Inauguration in
1897, to provide revenues to meet the
expenses of the government, has re-
manned in force practically unchanged
longer than any other tariff act in
American history.

NEBRASKA POLITICS,

Nebraska City Press: A telegram
received yesterday from Washington
states that William Hayward has re-
FUSED the appointment as first as
sistant postmaster general. Before
Mr.. Hayward left it was understood
among his intimate friends that he
would not seriously consider the
OFFER because of the fact that it would
necessitate his removing from this
city and interfere with his extensive
law practice here. This means that
he will be an active factor in Ne
braska politics during the coming
campaign.

which urges that the exposition be
