How,s THIS FOR ROBBERY

In the Aldrich-Payne bill is pro-
vision placing duty Of thirty per
cent upon cash registers. There is
but one concern in this country that
manufactures these machines in any
quantity worth talking about. That
is located in Ohio. II has secured
II monopoly Of the business by the
easy but sometimes expensive way
of buying up all the patents that
are valuable, and by forcing to the
wall by undcrselling all other COM
petitors who wouldn't sell or were
not worth buying out. The mono
poly character of this company has
been shown conclusively, having
once been sued successfully by Elihu
Root, now senator from New York,
for Il violation of the antitrust law.
A half million Of cash registers
have been sold In this country, for
about So, 900, 600. They have become
IA business necessity. The prices
asked are very high. There is an
other reason for this other than the
fact that it has only few small
competitors.
That reason is that for years II
has enjoyed Il tariff of fOrty-fve per
cent, which is high enough to keep
ont of the American market all
foreign makes. While the govern
ment is guaranteeing TO this com
pany full control Of the home mar
ket it is also enabling IL to make such
an eXtortionate profit upon it's ma
chimes that 1t can afford to and does
sell them in England for half what
II charges here. There is no claim
made that the company is simply
selling its occasional surplus abroad
in order to keep it's workmen em-
plOyed, but it is the settled policy of
the company to make This difference
in price. During the debate in the
senate on this schedule Photographic
reproductions of the American and
Elglish price lists of this company
We're produced. These showed in
the publications of the company it.

At the meeting OF the tOustitu-
tional Amendment Association at
Sedalia some time ago, there was
some difference Of opinion rs to
whether it were better to submit a
prohibition amendment to the con-
stitutiou or Il statutory law, under
the initiative and referendum
The question was left in allegiance,
TO be decided by an executive com.
mittee, of which Judge William II =.
Wallace of Kansas City was made
Chairman. At Il meeting in st.
Louis last Tuesday Judge Wallace
reported that the executive com
mittee had decided in favor of Il
constitutional amendment. He
said that the committee had decided
that the constitutional amendment
plan is better by fur than stat
utory law, and he was emphatic in
his belief that the amendment
would carry. lie said it might not
be in 1910, but the voice Of the
people would be heard sooner or
later.

The tariff bill, as finally patched

passed the House by Il small ma
jority last Saturday. about twenty
Republicans voting against it. To
let President Taft down without
too great strain on his position
for downward revision, the con.
ference committee granted his re-
quest for fee hides and petroleum
but rejected his demand for free
iron ore, bituminOus coal aud lum-
Der, and made a slight reduction
on shoes, boots, saddles and har-
ness, for which it has his promise
that he will sign the bill. After

his assistance and influence to the
State Board of Health with n view
of correcting the evil rather than
directing the lime light on himself,
he may be able to accomplish some
thing. But he is not a pioneer in

HATS FOR HORSES INJURIOUS

Experiments made by Baron Henri
d'Anchald, a French scientist, have
resultedsin proving that the we'll
meant practice of afiiXing straw hats
to the heads of horses, for the pur-
pose of protecting them from the
suns heat, not only fails to aC-
cOmplish its purpose, but actually
aggravates the suffering of the ami
mails. The experiments were made
when the temperature of the atmo-
sphere was 70 degrees in the shade.
Bareheaded horses standing in the
sun were found to have tempera-
ture OF SG under their foreclocks.
When straw hats were put on them,
their temperature under the fore
clocks rose to 1913. a horse moving
in the sun had II temperature of So.
Under a straw hat the temperature
rose to 81, and under cloth to 100.
The Explanation is that the cover
ing prevents the free movement of
air and serves to accumulate heat.
The head covering for horses should
be discarded, therefore, and relief
should be given by frequent spong-
ing II the head. incidentally, the
result of these experiments teaches,
logically, that human beings too
would be better off hatless on hot
days. ALBANY Journal.

HADLEN'S HORNET NEST

Governor Hadley, in. accepting
. with a too susceptible partisan
ship the charges Of some Of his
Jealous appointces in Kansas City
, of fraudulent registration and I'M.
! fit Judges and clerks Of election
Immediately preceding the mum
ripal election in that city on the
! llth ult, and on which he de-
mandrd the removal Of certain
, Democratic Judges and clerks Of
election as unfit to net us such be-
cause their names did not appear
IN the city directory, has stirred up
a hornets nest and bids fair to be
well stung for his political med.
ding. The Democratic Central
Committee took up the challenge
and showed that the Governors
imputation against these judges
aud clerks of election were not on
ly unfair and unjust, but furnished
him Il list OF fifty Republican
judges aud clerks of election whose
names did not appear in the city
directory.
Then the Election Commission
ers of that city, two Democrats and
one Republican, also took up the
challenge, and INDUCED in sharp
controversy in which the Cover
nor came out SO badly wOrsted that
with a practical acknowledgement
of defeat he declared that so far as
he was concerned the affair was a
closed incident. - But this was
not satisfactory to the Election
Commissioners, who with large
number of other reputable citizens
of Kansas City were discredited
by the Governors injudiciOuS and
narrow partisan charges. They
propose to have the whole matter
sifted by the Grand Jury, and if
Governor lIadley hoped to force
the resignation of the present
Election Commissioners, whose
terms of Office do not expire until
1911, in order to appoint a board
of his own choosing with which to
manipulate the mayoralty election
in 1910, he reckoned without his

Court for a grand jury investiga.
ton.
In making the application-and
the Republican Commissioner joins
his Democratic conferees in this
action-they say; If the charges
made by the Governor are true,
numerous officials are criminal
violators, and hundreds are subject
to indictment for illegal registra-
ton; in no other way, except
through a grand jury investiga.
ton, can the people be restored
to confidence in their public SER
wants, and in the integrity and
perpetuity of our institutions. "
Judge Latshaw, in assuring the
Commissioners that he would in
struct the September grand jury to
make a searching investigation, he
said, the charges made by the
Governor and his so.called in.
formants are appalling, il true, and
Infamous, if untrue"
The Governor will have an OPP
portunity to appear before the

may also be called upon to give
evidence in numerous damage suits
that have already been instituted
by reputable men who feel that
their good names have been de-
famed.

drawers and these were found to
resemble very much the keys to
Apples store building. When
asked after dinner for the keys
young Olmsted stated that he
had thrown them in the Creek.
Mr.. Myers then told him that he
was convinced that the keys
were the keys to Apples store
and after inquiring how he came
to find out that they we're he ad-
mitted using them to enter the
store on December % and stated
that he went into the store on
A pril 2l through the basement
window. lie had to go in the
second time through the base
ment because Apple had changed
the locks.
Mr.. Myers then took him to
Apples store where he gave a
list of the stolen property. He
secured sl5,5 from the safe the
first time he entered the store
and took some shells, pocket
knives, and other small articles
such as he could carry in his
pockets Oue striking thing
bout this is the fact that a
little over s4S in silver was in
the safe at the time and he took
but $3.50. This would seem to
indicate that it was his intention
to take small amounts so that
it would not be noticed. The
second time be was in he secured
but $l.6 in money from the cash
drawer and some shells, ham
mer, a searchlight, Yale lock,
| a box of small locks, six or eight
knives, large ball Of twine, a
pair of scissors aud p revolver.
After giving the list he went
with Mr.. Myers to place along
the creek south of the Olm sted
residence where he had what was
left Of the stolen property buried.
This wher returned to Mr.. Apple
was valucd1at about *f6.
He also admitted having brok-
en- into Mrs. Ellis millinery store
one night without getting any
thing, and in one other place
about $50 worth of property was
secured. He has later admitted
stealing a bennington typewriter
from Custer College building last
winter. he total value of the
prop'rty taken from the three
newspaper Offices is about 5000.

on the north side was 252. The
necessity for the building and
the desire of the people for good
school facilities was so strong
that the opponents of the bonds
were not able to make much
Roadway. An inspector examin-
