Attorney General wickersham has
rendered a decision In which he holds
that Richard Parr is entitled to recover
from the government the amount of his
claim for information given against
the so-called sugar trust.
PARIS information brought about
the recovery Of between $4,000, 900 and
100000. The question OF how much
money will be paid him is within the
discretion Of the secretary or the treas
ury.
Under the law Parr could be allowed
as much as SO per cent OF the amount
recovered, but there is no probability
he will receive any such sum.

Speeding got him is a mystery. II the
truth be told, he's got nodding

A big crowd had gathered at the
corner of the Haymarket, and with one
accord they avoided it,

been the undolng of many a poor soul.
Keep away from crowds, Jimmy"
They walked on till they came to
Angels flat l nJermyn street.

cate his schemes for catching us to
night" said Jimmy
He WILL" agreed Angel. and opened
the door OF the house in which his
rooms We're.
The narrow passageway, in which a
light usually burned day and night, was
In darkness.
'Oh no." said Angel, stepping back
into the street. "oh, indeed MOI"
During their walk Jimmy had had a
suspicion that they had been followed.
Inc suspicion was confirmed when
Angel whistled, and two men crossed
the road and joined them.
Lend me your lamp, Johnson" said
trio lamp in his hand, he entered the
passage, followed by the others. They
reached the foot of the stairs. then
Angel reached back his hand without a
word, and one of the two men placed
therein stick. Cautiously the party
advanced up the stairway that led to
Angels room.
Somebody has been here" said An
gel, and pointed to patch of mud on
the carpet. The door was ajar, and
Jimmy sent 1t open with a kick, then
Angel put his arm cautiously into the
room and turned on the light, and the
party waited in darkness for a move
ment.
There was no sign and they entered.
A. did not require any great ingenuity
20 see that the place had been visited.
Half-opened drawers, their contents
Thrown on the floor, and all the evil
dence Of a hurried search met their
eyes.
They passed from the little sitting
room to the bedroom, and here again
the visitors had left traces Of their in
vestigations.
"Hullo!| Jimmy stopped and picked
up a soft felt hat. He looked inside;
the dull lining bore the name of an
Egyptian halter
"Connor's!" he said.
"Ah!" said Angel softly, $50 Conner
takes a hand, does he?"
One Of. the detectives who had fol-
lowed them in grasped Angels arm.
Look, sir!" he whispered.
Half hidden by the heavy hangings
OF the window, man crouched in the
shadow.
Come out of that" cried Angel.
Then something in the mans attitude
arrested his speech. He slipped for
ward and pulled back the curtain.
"Connor!" he cried
Connor 1t was indeed, stone dead,
with bullet hole in the center Of his
forehead

Three roads I'D out to Carvary.
The first was broad and strafRht.

The second was the fetons' road.
Cruel and hard to tread
For those who bore the cross, load.
For those whose footsteps hled.
The third road skunk through mean dedtes
Fearing the open sky:
And Judas crept the dreadful miles
To Calvary thereby.
The hfghroad up to Calvary
Was blotted from the lands
Where Judas hid. the tackaI cries

How fair 1t now appears,
Smoothed wide by myriads penftent
And dower-set by their tears.

ONE SIDED INQUIRY.

The inquiry into the mystery con-
corning the alleged use of stamped
envelopes belonging to the state in
the pre-primary campaign for the
nomination of Frank +. Tucker for
attorney general looks like one sided
affsir to shield tn. real culprit. The
fact that the friends of the late Mr..
Tucker were not permitted to be pre-
sent at the Investigation savors of the
star chamber and a desire to prevent
a fair and honest investigation, and
the writer is astonished ar Judge
Donavan, "whom he holds in high
regard in making it secret inveti-
cation. Those knowing all the parties
interested in the unfortunate affair
have suspicious, and it is only Justice
to the memory of Mr.. Tucker and to
all interested volved, to have held
open sessions.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

The direct primary system, in the
opinion OF most of the machine
politicians and bosses, is all wrong.
Col. Roosevelt has handed down
TWO decisions. reversing ths United
States Supreme Court.
In Australia there is only one pri-
vately owned railroad. The others are
operated by the government. Guess
on which road is the one Austrian

President Taft may take note Of the
fact that Bulgaria sverted political
crisis by reconstructing tho cabinet.
1t costs Ohio just $3.50, 900 to pay

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY

Many voters will sympathIze with
the view Of the man who. when asked
what he thought Of the proposed in
come tax, replied: "Give me the
income and l will gladly pay the
tax"
A democratic exchange asks: Will
the republicans fall into line in the
march of progress ard endorse the
initiative and referendum? Yes, and
also the recall, and about everything
advocated by the Social Democrats,
except old age pensions. They are
more afraid of the 8. DIS than thew
are of the old line Democrats.

Deitz, the hero (?) of the Cameron

The Boston Globe of recent date
contains an arrangement of corporate
power by ]. Duncan Upham, formerly
a representative in the legislature,
who gives the following experience as
to how legislation il enacted in New
Hampshire: saw an attorney Of the
Boston & Marie railroad walk up the
aisle of the senate chamber and take
his seat beside the president Of the
senate. Before the roll was called,
he Ostentatiously took out notebook
and as each senator vote he 1otted
down the names of those who vod for
that bill. Think of it! What sinister
threat was that! Ihs Boston & Maine
Railroad might Well have gotten that
vote from the journal of the senate.
That was not the purpose.
That figure sitting on high, beside
one of our highest state officials, with
note book and pencil was q publ"
threat to ev cry senator-let him be-
ware how he votes. What an insult
to the highest legislative body in the
state, and through them to all the
people Of the state! I am proud to
be on the black list in that note
book; it is an honor that / would not
have missed for any thlnQ.

gained. until he has become menace
to safety IF society in the locality "a
which he lives; but he has less regard
for an officer who will shoot and
wound the children of DeItz, who are
peacefully DUNG his bidding. His
act was an outrage which should and
will no doubt receive the condemna
ton of every good citizen.
President Taft and his cabinet are
back in Washington. D. O., again. 1t
is a grand thing to draw a big salary,
take three months vacation each
year and do nothing the balance of the
time, but talk. The time may come
when our high salaried fficial will
earn their salaries, as they did when
official simplicity obtained.
In a speech, delivered by John
Hays Hammond at opening IF the
Republican League last week in New
York, he divided the insurgents into
FIVE classes. The calamity howlers, !"
"the unintelligent,' 'the intellect
uals," 1.-THE self righteous and
progressive. The progressives, he
said. are republicans, who ere desir.
GUS IF raising the standard of the
political morals of the country. while
they recognize the necessity Of party
organization. There il another class
ne overlooked, those who vote with
the opposition when they cannot
control ard the defeat the nominees of
their own party.
A subscriber hands us the following
verse, which is TOO true as We all
know:
"The men who do the fighting,
always get the smallest pay:
The men who do the working, always
get the lorgest day:
The men who co the SCI ming always
get the biggest pay;
The men who do the voting always
have the least to say
1t is always that way and will con-
tinue to be that way 40 long as the
vested interests control the govern
ment and secure such legislation as
they may demand. The people are to
blaue for permitting such conditions
to continue. Give every men square
deal".
The voters should carefully peruse
the platforms adopted by the several
parties in the state and then let COM
mon sense and reason influence their
political action on election day. Do
not be deceived by political hot air
which is given out Usually in party
platforms and cast at the chronic Office
seekers into the scrap heap.
An action to test the constitution
atty of the 20 per cent law has been
begun in the supreme court and srgu-
ments will possibly he made today by
the attorneys engaged. The law was
devised to rob the elector Of his right
to vote for whom he desired and to
destroy representative government of
which we have heard 80 much about
of lat. years. 1t was an "insurgent"
measure to cripple the democracy in
the state, and many thousands of
democrats voted for the insurgent''
candidates, not realizing that the law,
should it be constitutional, would
destroy their party.
Levi 81. Bancroft has also begun an
action in the supreme court to compel
the secretary of state to place his
name on the republican state ticket
for attorney general, claiming that
Frank r. Tucker had died several
days before the primary election,
which fact was we'll known, the votes
cast for him should not be counted but
for the live candidate who had
received the most votes.
