breaks Between Austria and Servia
May Come at Once.
Belgrade. July IO..--Throush the con
dition of suppressed excitement which
characterizes the Servian court, 1t
gradually became known today that
grave fears are entertained lclt the
capture of $50 Austrian soldiers on a
Servian island in the river Drina yes
terday may lead to a revival of the
Austrian -Sevrian troubles. which 1t
will be impossible to stay
1t developes that the fainring fit
which caused King Peter to fall from
his horse while riding in the Top
schider park yesterday followed imme-
diately after the arrival OF courier on
Servian territory.
1t is believed King Peter believed the
incident signalized the arrival of
Austrian aggression which would en-
danger his throne and also his life,
Although he has practically recovered
from the seizure, King Peter Is half
crazed with anxiety over the outcome
of the affair A formal protest has
been forwarded to Vienna and it Is
understood that in ansker to the Aus
trian government has protested against
the arrest of the soldiers.

RURAL MAI. SERVICE.

There is row on as who Is the

congress from South Dakota. The ar

apparently in favor of the Geo .gian.
The records seem to indicate he in

The identity Of the man whose mind
conceived this great benefit should be
firmly fixed. He is entitled to a high

useful men.

In launching one of the most salutary
and benefcent experiments of the age.
The near -sightedness of some of the
national lawmakers is emphasized by
the arguments which they employed
TO heap ridicule upon the proposition.
1t was contended that the only thing
which 1t would serve to accomplish
would be TO break up the time-honored
and cherished custom among the farm
ers--of assembling at the postofices
and country stores Moreover. the
whole scheme was declared visionary
and sentimentai--a grandstand play Of
politics.
But today there are not less than
10000 mail routes ramifying the rural
districts of the United States. And
the taxpayers of the country cheerfully
pay the 5000, 000-which is needed to
support this enlargement OF the postal
facilities.
In consequences of the change the is
olation OF country life has been largely
overcome, The demand for good roads
has been emphasized. The farmer soon
commenced to subscribe for the daily
papers. He keeps in closer touch with

THE COMMISSION PLAN.

The advocates for a change Of the
commission system have little to offer
in the new North Dakota measure
that is an improvement over the pres
ent law They hold out glittering
promises of prospective legislation.
That's poor bait with which to catch
the voters. If there is nothing more
tangible than promises-the voters
would be extremely foolish to author
ize a change. 1t would be losing the
substance to capture the shadow. The
voters of Fargo are all from Mis-
souri," They are willing to be shown
but not likely to be hoodwinked by
hot air and high sounding predictions
about what a great thing the commits
sion plan will be-after 1t is amended
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1909-07-10

The impression is gaining ground
that the senate handed the people of
the United States lemon in submit
ting the proposed amendment to the
U. s. constitution on the income tax.
1t looks as If the members felt abso-
lutely certain that there would be a
dozen antagonistic states-and no
chances we're being taken. At the
same time the people might regard
the plan as a great benefit and forget
some Of their grievances against the
upper branch of congress. New Eng
land alone, will furnish at least half
the votes necessary to kill the amend
ment. The same interests that have
stood back of Aldrich in the tariff
fight will be lined UP against the pro-
posed amendment. That they are pow
erful has been amply demonstrated.
Senator Hughes of Colorado strikes
the keynote OF the situation--in his
discussion OF the ultimate fate of the
income tax-when he says:
Through the prudent wisdom Of the
founders of this republic twelve states
can set their veto power against the
adoption Of an amendment and all the
other thirty four may rage for 1t as
they may, but 1t will never become a
part of the organic law. can count
blindfoided more than that many states
under the tnfiuence-the control--of
those devotedly attached to the high
est character of protective tariff, and
who will never permit the entering
wedge OF an income tax to be inserted
into the revenue system of the United
States so long as they have the power
to prevent It,
IT believe that IL is within the power
Of the finance committee alone, by
means OF the influences its members
control, to secure votes OF the legisla-
lures of twelve states to make 1t i'm.
possible to adopt that amendment, or.
at least, to adopt 1t, IL ever. for a
long, long time"

Chicago, July 10,-.The oracle OF the
socialist party in Chicago has attacked
the city government.
Last week A. M. Simons, head of
the Chicago Daily Socialist. openly
took up the warfare against Mayor
Busse and the city machine. II was
though he would at once be indict-
ed for libelous statements but instead
States Attorney Wayman had subpoe-
mas issued for editors and reporters
of The Socialist and instructed them
to appear before the grand jury pre-
pared to substantiate their charges.
He intimated that IL they could do so
there might be some indictments.
Mr.. Simons declared all would be
on hand prepared to present enough
evidence to "indict an ordinary man. :"
Nothing could suit me better than
to get this opportunity to put the evil
dence we have to support our charges
before he grand jury said Mr.. Sim
ons last night, Il certainly believe
we have enough evidence to abxso-
lutely prove everything printed and
prevent our Indictment for libel. Also
believe that If ordinary men were
involved there would be no doubt but
that indictments would be voted as
result of our charges.
1--WE will have evidence which should
show the guilt of number of police
officers who collect the tribute paid
by gamblers and others to the city
administration ring. There are some
witnesses whom we would not wish
to bring forwardd at this time for
fear they might be killed off, but we
are willing to produce what should

be sufficient to do the work.
I'VE did not start ont to expose the
rottenness of the city administration
without being ready for anything that
might arsie and believe we can make
good before the grand jury"
Until the adjournment of the grand
jury early in the afternoon city hall
officials who took the initiative in
urging the indictments of the socialist
publishers for criminal libel had hop
ed that action would be taken immed-
lately.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Holt
sent to the states attorneys office in
the morning what he believed to be
evidence sufficient to justify the voting
of indictments. Detective Charles
O'Donnell and others who purchased
papers at the newspaper Office and
who saw the printing OF part OF the
edition which contained the attack on
Mayor Busse, were in readiness to
give their testimony.
Mr.. Wayman, however, failed to
take the matter before the grand jury.
While he refused to discuss the sub
ject, IL was declared by one of his
subordinates that he believes he has
no right to assume that the articles
are falsehoods and Misrepresentation,
unless the persons assailed come be-
fore the grand jury and brand them
as untrue and libelous.
1t was declared that in the case OF
attacking public oficials in Office, If
the attack Is based on truth and is
upon conduct in that office. the de-
fense of justifable publication for the
good of the public would be self-evi-
dent and suf1cient.

LIKE THE FOOLISH VIRGIN.

Frank J. Thompson finds that liohts
for automobiles are for ornamental
purposes-and his arrest for driving
his unlighted rig through the streets
disclosed there was no authority to
compel the auto owners to light the
lamps.
His friends insist Mr.. Thompson was
like the foolish virgins-but he Ienies
at least part of the allegation.
One result of his detention was to
establish the identity of the machine in
which he meanders around the streets
of Fargo. The police decided It was an
auto-and the owners qualification
over that, acted as balm to his lacer-
ated feelings to such an extent-he
holds no grievances.

Today's election cannot be regarded

OF personal politics injected into the

his reported ability to name a sue

result. A significant feature of the re-

cities. for the most part, returned
substantial majorities on the winning
side.
A fact or especial interest In to-
days election was that il was the
first time in the history of the state
that an expression of the Whole cleo
torate had been obtained on prohibit
tion.
The statewide prohibition bill Was
passed by legislature elected on a
local option platform. In Birmingham
the election was the most exciting ever
witnessed. Hundreds of people crowd
ed around each polling place. women
and children sang. and brass bands
stationed by the anti-amendment
forces played patriotic airs. Each
polling place was enlivened by fist
fights, there being so many that it
Was impossible to keep track of them.
Feeling was 50 high that few words
We're sufficient To bring on blow
Practically every other voier was chal-
lenged The total vote. however, was
heavy.
As an instance OF the deep feeling
prevalent, a prominent minister went
to the polls and a young woman at
tempted to pin white ribbon upon
him. The minister declined, telling
her that he considered II improper for
young ladies to speak to men on the
streets whom they did not know. The
woman began crying and the minister
apologized for hurting her feelings. out
said he considered the polling places
improper places for young women To
be. The affair was discussed all over
the city.
