Twenty Years of Progress.

Humanity is prone to accept and uti-
lie improved conditions as a matter of
course. So soon do they become a part
and parcel of our every day lives, that it
is not until the many factors which con-
tribute to our comfort are taken into
accOunt that we realize our dependence
upon them.
Twenty years ago the American rail-
way manager had a just pride in what he
had accomplished. A vast territory of
productiveness had been provided with
facilities. Towns and cities had sprung
up, thrivi x industries had been estab-
lished and the future held great promise.
As the country grew and prospered
and rufic increased, facilities had inn
proved amazingly and the public were
provided service so vastly superior to that
Of earlier years as to excite actual
wonder.
A few years ago passenger train equip.
ment had reached a point beyond which
there seemed little room, for improve
ment. Roomy. handsomely decorated
coaches and chairs. dining cars in which
meals were served equal to those Of the
finest hotels. buffet, library cars from
which passengers might obtain for the
asking the latest product of famous auth
ors, magazines and current periodicals.,
sleeping cars combining every detail
tending to the pleasure of the most fas.
tidious, seem to compass the sun total of
travel comfort.
Then came the application Of eiectrici-
ty. Each birth In sleeping cars was
provided with its comfortable individual
light. Electric fans were added, insur
ing a pleasant dream on the warmest
day.
The Rock Island lines were among
the first to bring their fast trains up to
the new standard and its officials were
constantly striving for further improve.
ments. II was their aim to supply their
trains with every conceivable detail of
comfort and convenience.

ernor and the Republicans believe

ernor and the Republicans believe
that the state should reserve the
power to compel enforcement of state
laws by the excise and police authori-
ties of the cities, however such au.
thorities may be constituted. They
hold that the chief executive OF the
state, being charged with enforce
ment OF law and the maintenance OF
peace and order everywhere in the
state, should have such a check upon
city officials, who are to preserve the
Epeace and enforce the laws in the
cities, as TO be able to compel them
to do their duty should they prove
unwilling or negligent.
Here is the clear cut issue. There
is no reason why the people should
not clearly understand it. If the
Democratic idea must be accepted by
the Republicans in order to secure
for the people of the cities the home
rule promised them, it will be no
fault of the Republican administration
should officials appointed by the
mayors fail to enforce the laws of the
state. In the large cities of the state
there is an element in both parties
which will endeavor so to control To-
cal politics as to permit the "lifting
of the lid,' and to permit other
things which have been hindered
under state control, and should still
be hindered without the governor
having the authority to appoint the
officials.

Special Correspondence.
Jefferson City, May This has
been home rule week in the Legisla-
tuse. The House passed two home
rule bills giving 70 the mayors Of St.
louis and Kansas City the right to
appoint police and excise commits
sionefs, hnt reserving TO the governor
Morgan County republican. (Versailles, Mo.) 1906-1914, 1909-05-06

the right to remove such officials fol
neglect Of official duty or for derelic'
ton in Office sufficient to warrant
interference on the part of the
state. These bills we're taken up by
the House and passed after a message
had been received from the gov.
ernor urging that the pledge OF home
rule made by both parties in the las,
campaign, and before that time, be
redeemed. He very clearly outlined
the Republican position by stating
that power should be conferred upon
the people Of the large cities to select
their own police and excise officials,
but that care should be taken to re.
serve to the State the right of such
supervision and authority over such
officials as will secure at all times the
enforcement of the laws of the state
the maintenance of its peace and
dignity and the protection of the
lives and property of the people.
The Senate Democrats held a
caucus and decided that the Senate
should strike out the provisions under
which the governor may have author
ity to remove the appointees of the
mayor, thus making the enforcement
of the laws of the state in the big
cities dependent entirely upon the
mayor and his appointees. When
the bill came over from the House
amendments drawn by a committee
appointed by the Democratic senator's
were voted on them, entirely divorce
ing the state from control of the police
and excise officials of the two
large cities. Then the question
arose, will the Republicans OF the
House support the bills as amended
by the Senator
In the Senate several Republicans
voted for the bills thus amended,
hoping that after the House acts upon
the amendments the difference be-
tween the House and the Senate may
be adjusted through the services of a
conference committee, and that some
concessions may be made under
which the bills will meet the home
rule pledge of the Republican party
without depriving the state of authori-
ty to interfere in case the cities
are subjected to a policy OF non-en-
forcement Of the law.
The governor anticipated the
Democrats by submitting to the
Democratic attorney general the
leading question involved in the
pending home rule bills, and that
official in answer, gave the opinion
that there is nothing in the constitu-
ton to prevent the Legislature giving
the people Of the cities absolute home
rule in police and excise matters, or
giving them the right to select,
through the mayor, or by election,
the police and excise officials, and
giving the right to remove such Off
Gals for cause. This leaves only the
question of policy to be determined
by the Legislature and the governor.
The Democratic Senate believes, or
seems to believe, that the people of
the city should have absolute home
rule in these matters--a privilege
which was taken from them by the
Democratic party; while the gov

A FRIEND OF BYGONE DAYS.

Hon. E. w. Wilson, more familiarly
known among his old cronies as Gene,
who has few years held the important
and responsible position of national
bank examiner for the states of Wash
ington and Montana, spent Friday last
in Oroville prying into the status of
the First National bank. After crit
ical exauination he pronounced it all
right. When the proposal was first
made to establish national bank at
this place Mr.. Wilson looked upon the
project with doubts and misgivings.
but he freely stated that this country
has turned out better than he antici-
pated, and after making several visits
here he felt that Oroville was destined
to forge to the front as a fourishing
town.
National bank examiners show up at
intervals of twice a year, and come
when least expected. Mr.. Wilson ro-
tates with DR.. +. H. Luce, each of them
getting here once twelve month. The
writer was delighted to meet Mr.. Will
son, as he had not seen him for years.

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.

Saturday evening squad of drunken
siwashes held caucus in the east part
OF town, the dismal proceedings con-
tlnuing several hours, much to the con-
fusion and distress of the female and
youthful travellers passing within hear
ing distance of the carousal. 1t is alto
gether too easy for Indians to secure
liquor in this town, and the first thing
somebody knowns there will be a can
didate or two for McNeil's island. Only
last week, in the U. S. district court,
at Spokane, barkeep was sent to the
government prison for two years for
selling whisky to an Indian. Let some
one go over the road for two or three
years from Orcville and the red man
will find it somewhat more difficult to
get his skin full at all times and under
all circumstances. 1t is taking long
chances for few cents this thing of
selling liquor to Indians, to say moth
ing of the dangerous and brutal side of
the question, as the Indian is unac-
cOuntable for what he does when under
the influence of intoXicants.

INDIFFERENCE.

=. j. Bunbury, chief constable of the
provincial force with headquarters at
greenwood, was in town Monday on
omclal business. He got his clutches
on the man Hayward who was bound
over in Judge Fraser's court in the
sum of $1,000, and subsequently flew
the coop by the aid of outside friends,
and thought he was doing the officials
VI This county a favor by hiking all the
way to Orovlle to report the capture
ne ran up against a system that sur,
passes all understanding, for he could
secure no authority to deliver the
goods, nor could he find out whether
the escaped was wanted at all. He re-
turned home Tuesday pretty well as
gusted to take Mr.. Hayward into camp
ana treat him to a taste of Canadian
Justice, which does not believe In let
tng any guilty man escape.
:, speaking of Mr.. Bunbury reminds us
mat the press along the border on the
canadian side is dealing out some not
roasts to the provincial constabulary'

higher in authority than the indlvidu-
u members that should come IN lor
