WHAT POLITICS COSTS.

Governor Johnson of Minnesota dies
and leaves a fortune of $4,000. Con-
sidering the ability of the man, the
years he has been in active life. the
pay waiting and ready for such a man
as he, the sum in pitiably small If he
had kept out of politics, he could have
been worth a million-easily.
But he has been of service to the
state. of benefit to the people, because
of his political Iabors. And that is Just
the point of the case. The people have
had a million dollars of beneft-maybo
vastly more-because Governor johnson
kept out of business and remained in
politics.
The logic of it is that the people
should pay more to their public ser
wants. John A. johnson was worth
much to the people. Self-respecting
They want 20 pay what the thing re-
ceived is worth. Johnson's services to
them were worth a great deal more
than they gave him.
That is the American error to be cor
reoted.
And what is true of the late governor
of Minnesota is true of every city and
county officer in the country. Here in
salt Lake we elect c man to the city
council, and pay him janitor's wages
or less. He and fourteen others sim
narly paid. have control Of the biggest
business in the state. The financial af-
fairs of millions in value are in the
hands Of a council repaid with the COM
pensation Of an Office boy.

Up to the present, of course, men

But they are coming closer all the

GUST The MAYOR.
City of Hutchinson and Officials
Under the Ban.
E. ID. McKeeVer, Special Master,
Reports to Court.
LEVIED A TRIBUTE.
Finds That Joints and Other III
legal Resorts We're Licensed.
Applies to Chief of Police and
His Assistants.

E. d. Mckeever, special master, to-
day reported his findings to the su-
preme court in the cases, the state of
Kansas versus the city of Hutchin-
son, the state of Kansas versus Har-
sha, and the state of Kansas versus
w. H. Dixon and others If the legal
conclusions of the findings are fol-
lowed as is nearly always the case, the
city of Hutchinson will be enjoined
from exercising the rights of muni-
cipal corporation, Mayor Harsha will
be ousted, and W. H. Dixon, Joseph
Howard and w. A. Meadows or Mead
or, members of the police department
of Hutchinson will be ousted.
In the case of the state of Kansas ex
rel, versus the city of Hutchinson, Mr..
McKeever finds that the city, which
enjoys all the privileges conferred by
state laws on cities of the second
class, has wilfully violated the laws re-
latinE to brothelS, bawdy houses and
joints, and permitted these unlawful
institutions to flourish unmolested, ex-
cept by regular periodical arrests and
uniform fines for the purposes of in
creaSing the revenue of the city. These
regular arrests and uniform fines were
assessed not for the purpose of abat-
ing or suppressing these unlawful
practices, but for increasing the reve-
nues of the city. In addition, the
SpeCIdI iIdSlST mus that SdIOOIlS, pun
licly known as such, and known to the
officials as such, were permitted to
operate unmolested.
In view of the facts presented in the
brief of this case. Mr.. McKeever
reaches the following conclusions of
law:
"That the defendant within the time
covered by the foregoing finding of
facts, has exercised unauthorized,
usurped and unlawful corporate pow
ers and that the said defendant should
be ousted and forever enjoined from
the exercise of said usurped, unauth-
orized and unlawful corporate pow
ers.''
In the case of the state of Kansas
ex rel, versus Harsha, the special
master finds that from the time Mr..
Harsha was inducted into the office
of mayor of Hutchinson until the
time this suit was commenced. there
hourished in the city. brothelS and
bawdy houses. varying in number
from five to ten houses, and with
from twenty to fifty inmates as shown
by the reports of the police judge.
Complaints were sworn to in punches
against the proprietors of these places.
In pursuance of these complaints the
defendants reported to the police
Judge and Immediately entered a plea
of guilty The keepers We're uniform
ly fined the sum of $4,000 each while
the inmates received a fine of $1,000
During this time the defendant took
no steps to aid in good faith in the
suppression OF these places. and per-

off, New Orleans awoke today already
prepared to greet the DISTINGUISHED
visitor who is expected to land at 8

the North Carolina and Montana are
sighted and then will prepare for the
transfer of the president-elect, who
will leave the North Carolina off South
Pass and will come up the river on the

A heavy thunder storm late yesterday
played havoc with many of the decora-
tions which had been placed in honor
of the president-elect and caused some
anxiety On the part of those who
imagined the storm was also raging in
the gulf The decorations were replaced
early today however. and mariners
gave assurances that the North Caro-
lima could not possibly have made such
good time as to have gotten within the

Already requests are reaching this
city from towns along the route be-
tween New Orleans and Cincinnati ask
ing that the president-elect be notified
OF their desires for him to make
speeches and acknowledge their well

While civic and military parades

among which are Cuddy, Sheridan

The first attempt to secure a char

conflicting claims it was not possible
to do so until 1859. Even then there
was dispute between the Junction City

pany, which was a previous townsite
organization, and one private citizen,
as to who owned certain portions of
the city. This was finally settled in
favor of the junction City Townsite
company. The town was named juno
