TAFT FROWNS ON
RECENT inquiry
DECLARES THAT CONGRESS EN-
cRoAcHED ON HIS PRIVI-
LEGES IN INVESTIGAT-
ING SUGAR FRAUDS

Washington, May 1O.-President
Taft in special message to the house
of representatives declared congress
was encroaching on his perogatives
as an executive in investigating the
sugar frauds in the customs service
and intimated thai ce could attend to
the executive department without the
aid of congress.
"A congressional investigation at
this time would embarrass the execu-
tive department in the continuance and
completion Of the investigation of the
appraisers and other officers of the
customs service" he said.
The necessity for congressional in
vestigation arises first when an execu-
tive investigation either is not in good
faith or is lacking in vigor or when
additional legislation is needed to pre-
vent recurrence of the frauds. The
primary duty with respect to frauds in
the executive service falls upon the
executive to direct proper executive
investigation.
The reports of the secrtary of the
treasury and the attorney general
show beyond question the utmost Wig
or and effectiveness in the investiga-
ton and prosecution up to this time
and the achieving of exceptional re-
suits in the recovery of moneys Of
which the government has been de-
trauded, the indictment of participants
In the frauds and the reformation Of
the customs service with a view to
the prevention Of such frauds in the
future"

1910 Pack May Be the Heaviest the
Industry Has Ever Known,

Spokane, Wash, May 1O.-Ten thou
sand men and $4,50GOOO worth of
equipment are working at various
points along the Columbia Willamette
and Clackamas rivers in Washington
and Oregon, where the salmon season
opened on May l,
FISHERMEN report that not in TWEEN
ty-years has there been such a run of
flsh as this year, which means that the
1910 pack will be the largest the in
dustry has known. The opening of the
season marks the end of a bitter fight
between the authorities Of Oregon and
the nshermen, in which Master Fish
warden McAllister was the victor. He
mas dispatched two bats to patrol the
streams in that state and it is given
out that arrests will follow anv vIo-
latlon OF the law, which provides that
nshlng must cease at 6 o'clock every
saturday evening and not resume un-
til o'clock the following Sunday
evening.
The laws of the state do not cover
the Willamette and CIackamas rivers,
out they were closed to fishermen from
March to May l, to keep faith with
the fish authorities of the state of
Washington.

no perceptible deterioration or change
in five years. On new galvanized cor
nices and spouting, where it is well
known that no other paint will stick,
1t neither scales nor cracks. Brine
will not rust it nor will any degree of
heat or cold affect it. On any kind
of iron work it is equally effective and
SO inexpensive is its production that
it can be sold at a profit at the price
of the cheapest roofing paint on the

All those who have examined the in
vention, both as to the smoke cleansing
feature and the paint product are en-
thusiastic as to its merits and are con-
fdent that it will soon be recognized
as one of the most beneficial and also
profitable discoveries of the age Ex-

The South Should Take a Hand.

The attitude and noble fight of the insurgent Republicans is both a rebuke and a call to arms to the sol i'd, silent South. Is there no red blood in our Southern Democratic politicians? Have the Democratic masses no will, no ambition, no ideals?
 When bunny leader talks to you of solidarity for the sake of our ven erated traditions. in heavens name tell him that our real traditions the only traditions worth while are traditions of active participation in the governing of of this great coun- try; tell him that if our traditions are worthy of veneration then they must be revivified by the courage of combat and in the clash of fight for right: tell him that if the traditions are worthy of perpetuation they must be sanctified anew by the pa- triotic ard fearless support of men who realize that the greatness of the South was once the glory of Ameri.

TO sTJp WASTE

Mir. Leach of the Cincinnati bureau of research, speaking of waste in a city, says:
 ITO stop waste does not mean the election or appointment ofgood officl- als. It means to stop spending money blindly, to stop certifying pay rolls without evidence that the work is done, to stop purchasing supplies without evidences that prices paid are the low est, to stop auditing bills without eyi- dence that the goods to be paid for have been delivered, to stop bad bus mess methods on every business day and to substitute good business meth ods
 It is an assured fact that under the present city administration the revenues of Mena are not being blind ly spent, and the bills are audited with care and purchases made at the lowest market price. The mayor and alderman took strong stand for that kind of business administration some months ago, and they are liv- ing up to it.
 Incidentally, under Street Com missioner James Emerson, there is being much splendid work done, and this too in a manner that does not waste the peoples money.

The Voter Makes the Government

A government is good Tn propor- tion as the aver age morality or the average individual is aggressive; ana a government is bad in proportion as the average morality Of the aver age individual is low and lethargic. When good citizens attend to tneir civic duties, their civic energy IS represented by good officials; when they are careless their slothfulness IS represented by corrupt officials.
 The character of a government, whether city, state or national, depends entirely on the will of the majority; and no government IS better than majority of it's voters. The best governed state IS that Tn which good citizens are the most active; and the worst governed state is that in which good citizens are most inactive.
 If each individual were to give hls attention to the public business as his own. which it is, after all, every good official would have behind hlri the aggressive morality of his con stituents, and this would confront every bad official, and say to him, No farther shalt thou gol'--Joseph w Folk in the Youths Companion.

 TO GET THE RAILROAD.

Many times daily The Star is asked about the progress of the proposed new railroad. Some seem to feel that since the charter has been se- cured and the officers of a company selected the work of construction should at once begin.
 But this is far from the facts. These men who have taken the lead in this big enterprise have a big task to perform. They must first find a man or set of men equipped for such work to take up the construction. No one will do this unless sufficient inducement is offered to make it look like a paying proposition---and there is where the matter of bonus comes in.
 The first feature of all is to secure the right-of-way. There is not one chance in thousand of getting any one interested without they can be assured that at least right-of-way and terminal grounds will be furn- ished free by the communities inter- ested.
 If the people who own property along the line should demand that they be paid for the 100-foot strip of land used by the road, it is a fore gone conclusion that many years would elapse before the line would be built, if ever.
 It is recognized by most people that a railroad passing through any section of country largely increases the value of the property adjoining. If man had two acres and the road took one of them the value of the one left would be almost sure to be worth more after the road was built than both without it.
 Therefore it is to be hoped. for the sake of Mena and Polk county that the men who have undertaken to secure the right-of-way for the Mena < Hot Springs road will be

One Mans Work.

It isn't often that 1t IS given to any one man to accomplish as much for humanity as was accomplished by Henri Dunant, who has just died in Switzerland. At least, it is not often that one man has such a vision as he had and is able to put that vision in concrete form. For what is known as the Red Cross society," worldwide in it's scope and is as ten der as the mercies of heaven in its accomplishments was the work of this one man.
 h 1859 Dunaat witnessed q battle. He saw the wounded undergoing the usual suffering of the time, through neglect and inattention. He must have been a man with great heart in him, for from the day he saw the battle until his death he was posses sed with but one idea-to alleviate the sufferings of mankind.
 As soon as possible after he had witnessed the battle he began the work of organizing som sort of society that would go upon the bat tlefields and relieve distress as far as could be relieved. He met with in- stant success, for the average per son needs but to be aroused. Men and woman everywhere took up the discussion of the matter and out of the discussion came the Red Cross society, so called because number of nations agreed among themselves that they would respect as non-com- batants anyone wearing the emblem of the Red Cross.
 From purely military organiza- tion. or as an organization to aid the wounded upon the field of bat tie and in hospitals, the Red Cross society has broadened into Humanitarian or ganization that goes everywhere and aids in in the relief of mankind whether the distress Is due to war or famine or disease. Wherever peo- pie are in misery, there will be found the agents of the Red Cross. Where yer there is human distress, there will be found the emblem which has become an inspiration.
 The society has collected and ex- pended millions and millions of dol lars for the relief of suffering. It has been useful in hundred ways. It is non-sectarian and non-political, and has the support of many gov ernments and of people of every na- tionality. It is today, with the ex- ception of the Christian church it. self. the greatest organization for humanity the world has ever seen. And it was to this one obscure man that it owed it's life.
