You thought this was all right, Of

value for your money, but the head Of
Uncle Sans treasury is of differ
ent opinion. After 27,OOO.OOO were
struck off recently he decided that only
the initial "B." should appear on the
penny. Mr. Bremen, however, insists
that his three initials "V d. B." show
on every Lincoln coin issued and says
he will take the matter up to Presi-
dent Taft if necessary.
Whatever the outcome, the fact re-
mains that the new pieces are in great
demand and have been sold on the

INTERSTATE BODY is HIT
Its Power Curtailed by Injunction in

Chicago, Aug. Pa permanent in
junction, sought by the western rail
roads against the interstate commerce
commission in the famous Missouri
river rate case, was granted by Judges
Grosscup, Baker and Kohlsaat of the
United States circuit court.
BY the opinion of the federal judges
the power of the interstate commerce
commission is said to be limited prac-
tically to the provisions of the inter-
state commerce law and it may deal
only with discriminatory rates and
with rates that are unreasonably high
for the service performed by the
roads.
The action against the interstate
commerce commission in the Missouri
rate case was begun by the Chicago,

Official Paper OF City and County
A Blind Leader?

Senator Cummins, speaking as the
representative of the progressive re-
publicans, has declared war against the
Aldrich crowd. That sounds good but
the articles of war do not go far en-
ough. The senator thinks that every
thing depends on the PERSONNEL OF
the republican organization. He is
mistaken. The organization is means
to an end. Unless the new organlza-
ton means to do something for the re-
lief of the people change from an
Aldrich organization to Cummlns
organization will mean nothing more
than transfer of salaries from one
crowd to the other.
What does the Cummins organization
propose to do? Will it give us free
lumber and cheaper homes? Will it
give us free wool and cheaper clothing?
Will it reduce the cotton schedule and
proceed with reductions until a
revenue basis is reached.
If, after this winters experience,
Senator Cummins still insists that the
tariff must be reformed by those who
believe in using the taxing power for
the purpose of protecting those interests
which can secure the ear of congress
he will prove blind leader of the blind.
Still the fact that he wants to fight is
a good sign. Even if he does not &C
far enough to make his fight effective
he may encourage spirit of independ-
ence among republicans and other re-
publicans may go farther than he is
now willing to go. Another sign OF
weakness is his eulogy of the presi-
dent. He will find the president with
the Aldrich republicans and he can not
make much Roadway. The Commoner

Amundsen's Famous Vessel to Lie In
Golden Gate Park.
The placing recently in Golden Gate
park, San Francisco, of the steamer
Gjoa has revived interest in Captain
Road Amundsen and the famous lit
tie vessel on which he sailed through
the northwest passage. Born in Chris
tiania, Norwegian of the Norwegians,
Captain Amundsen first came promi-
nently before the public as a member
of the antarctic expedition of the Bel
gica, which vessel in 1919 cruised in
the south polar seas under NJ. Gerlach.
Returning from this expedition, he con-
ceived the idea of an arctic eXplora-
ton, the object Of which would be the
discovery of the northwest passage
and the location Of the magnetic pole.
Amundsen told his friends Nansen,
the explorer, and Professors Schmidt
and Neumayer of Germany his hopes
and laid before them in detail the

NEGRO SLAIN AND BURNED
AFTER RUNNING AMUCK
Monroe, La, Rampage of Pine Bluff,
Ark, Black Results in Fatal
Wounds to Several.

Monroe, La, Aug. 25-Half crazed
either by whisky or cocaine, Bill Way,
a negro from Pine Bluff, Ark, dashed
down the main street of Monroe with
double-barreled shotgun, firing in
every direction. Citizens returned
the fire and the negro finally fell dead
after receiving a score or more of
wounds. twenty-five citizens were in
jured in the fight.
When the negro fell his body was
dragged into the. street and later
taken to public square and burned
in the presence of several thousand
people.
The negro appeared on the street
with his shotgun under his arm and
his pockets filled with shells. When
he started to fire, those citizens who
were armed covered him and forced
him into a doorway, where he held
his ground. He would fire, step back
into the doorway, reload his gun and
fire again. Several citizens returned
his fire every time that he appeared
and he finally fell with bullet
through his heart.
Four of the 25 citizens who were
wounded by the negro are in a serious
condition, while the injuries of the
other II are of minor nature.
Much excitement prevailed for some
time, and it was feared at one time
that a mob might form and wreak
vengeance on other members of the
race, but the authorities took prompt
precautions to avoid riots and all was
quiet last night.
Mayor Forsythe. although wounded,
went to where the grusome blaze
was about to be started and pleaded
with the mob to refrain from burning
the body. His entreaties were in vain
Mayor Forsythe has taken precautions
to prevent disorders.

shooting was in progress and closed

wounded.
They are Patrolman Bigger, shot in

Simon Marks, merchant, also re
ceived an ugly wound in the breast
which may prove fatal.

An Increased Army.

General Fred D. Grant said the other
day:
"The army by all means ought to be
placed at $50, COO. We ought to have
at least twenty more regiments OF reg
ular infantry for immediate training
and 600 more officers. All this has
been pointed out to congress, but they
are decidedly slow to act. y
General Grant voices the Taft view.
But the question remains unanswered.
Why should we have an army of $780,
900? Certainly not merely for the
sake of largeness, but for furtherance
of some end. That end has been indi-
Gated between the lines of Mr.. Taft S
utterances. 1t is to put down internal
uprisings of labor, to protect property
against the mob which would apply the
torch or bomb.
Perhaps it is too much to expect that
President Taft and General Grant will
ever wake up to the truth that every
dollar added to the expense of the army
increases the burden of the mob,
and that the surest way to foment dis
content is to tax necessaries out of the
mouths of the needy. There is the
weight of historical truth to bear out
this conclusion.
Civilization is not going forward but
back in increasing its fighting fore
es by land and sea. The end we seek
is peace and the means to the end is tc
