GERS and they probably got nothing
more than petty considerations in re-
turn. The gambling houses did not put
up the $500 they offered, because no
one in authority had nerve enough to
accept the price. There were itching
palms, but they were accompanied by
cold feet. Let the man who Is offended
by this statement come forward
"A very industrious man sent word
to this paper the other day that many
business men, want the gambling to
be continued. Evidently the gamblers
regard themselves as business men,"
He advanced the theory that gamblers
spent money. But the other side in
that they take money from scores Of
men who are thus unable to support
their families. It will be a great deal
better if the men who lose their money
to the gamblers use that money to buy
supplies for their families, clothes,
shoes and food than to give it to the
gamblers for them to spend in riotous
living AS an economic proposition
there is nothing to gambling. How
ever, we would be glad to discuss this
proposition with any business man IN

TWO PARAGRAPHS.

ICedar Rapids Republican,
This paper is in position to state
that $500 is the price that was offered
for the privilege Of running gambling
houses in Cedar Rapids. This price
was afterwards increased to $500 a
month.
Not only was this price offered, but
there are men in Cedar Rapids who
were permitted to see the $500 in cold
cash and with their own eyes.
This statement may be startling to
some people, but it is a truthful state
ment, nevertheless.
That some one got a few slices Of
money, there is not reasonable doubt,
but the gambling houses did not buy
any one outright. They started UP
quietly, developed gradually during the
seven weeks (the Gazette's two weeks
to the contrary Notwithstanding and
it is not likely that any one got more
than a few nibblings and those went
to men in inferior places. There is
really no one higher up that sold out,
so far as this paper has been able to
trace the history Of this last episode.

neglect on the part Of certain OFF,

A ROAD PLAN.
dubuque Telegraph

Dubuque Telegraph z
Michael Mccullough, of Key West,
has discovered new use for disc har-
row and one which promises to be a
boon to the farmers on the country
roads in winter. The country roads in
Dubuque and the vicinity Of late get
filled with snow to a great depth and
with constant use great ruts are ploWed
in the snow, often of such depth that
only high bodied sleds can run in the
road. There has been no way to break
up this high ridge of snow in the CEN
ter of the road and always new road
has to be broken
Mr. Mccullough took a disc har-
row out ontt the road Friday and with
sharp disc cut the heavy snow crust
in bits. Then, by going over the road
second time with the pillow the snow
was spread out in a thin layer widen
ing the road and making it nice and
level once more.
The leveling up of the road was
hardly a days work and the immense
benefit will undoubtedly cause every
farmer who rides over the road to fol-
low suit along his own section Of road.

AS TO EUCALYPTUS LANDS.

The agricultural department has
deemed necessary to send out the fol-
lowing circular letter alleging misrep-
resentation against unnamed promo
ters. The which circular explain itself
follows:
The department of agriculture has
recently been Informed that certain of
Its publications dealing with eucalpy-
fus have been misquoted by several
companies interested in selling lands
For instance, Circular 81, Of the Forest
Service, has been fisrepresented as
saying that California will In few
years be the only source of hardwood
statement has never been made in any
OF the forest service publications and
is not considered fact
The department experts believe that
there Is promise of considerable success
in the cultivation of eucalyptus trees
In many parts of California, but esti-
mates OF profit and of growth have
been attributed to the department
which are unauthorized There are
many uncertainties connected with
eucalyptus culture, the government ex-
perts say, which the investor should
take into account,
Z. come cases statements falsely at
tr4buted to the forest service in adver-
Using matter have been corrected when
attention was called to the facts. but
not before the misstatements had beer

says he does not intend to allow the
name of his department to be used as a
means of victimizing the public, ana
that in future any concern which at
tributes to the forest service unau-
thorized statements may expect the
statements to be publicly disavowed.
the promoters. The government re-
port on eucalyptus reads like a pro-
motors prospectus. Indeed the volume
issued from the department some years
ago is the best basis for the claims put
forth by the land agents. 1t unfolds so
many and great 1narvels that it fills
the prospective investor with hope
which approaches upon conviction.
The fact is that the government ex-
pert in charge of any process, engaged
in research, looking for a new tree or
new wheat or what not is too anxious
to make a showing. The eucalyptus
report is florid, too florid it may be as
sumed. 1t deals too much with posi-
bilities and too little with what ordi-
narily will and may be accomplished,
The expert is as anxious to make good
in his report as the promoter is as his
prospectus.
Eucalyptus lands and groves seem
TO be fair speculative investment
from the reports of the government
that is real eucalyptus lands-but the
man who expects blindly to invest a
few hundred dollars and reap reward
of many thousands without effort very
often is disappointed. That is about
what the department Of agriculture
wishes to convey. Common sense and
caution are to be used in connection
with the experts report.

Now wash the grain thru many

POSTAL REFORM.

If anything could be more absurd
than to begin postal reform with re-
duction in wages of mail carriers and
clerks, it would be hard to name it.
The postoffice department has been for
more than one generation the one de-
partment where political debts have
been paid by every administration in

A RELIC OF BARBAR1sM.
Register and Leader.


Every once in a while something Is
brought to public notice to recall in a
concrete way the brutality Of the laws
Of another generation in their relations
to woman.
The suit of young Mrs. Tillman for
the possession of her two children,
which are held by Senator Tillman,
their grandfather, has led to the publ
cation of this unrepealed section Of
the South Carolina statutes, relic of
mediaevalism if there is one in Amer
lea:
Section 2,6s9-The father of any
child or children, under the age of 81
years and not married may dispose of
the custody and tuition of such child
or children during such time as they
remain under the age Of 81 years, to
any persons.
1t would probably not be believed
that there was such law in full force
and effect anywhere in the world in
the opening days of the twentieth CEN
fury, much less in a free American
state. But such is the law and Senator
Tillman is standing upon 1t to hold'two
attractive children away from their
mother who was not even permitted to
see them in the court room.
In connection with this litigation it
is again worth mentioning that the
younger Tillman, against whom charges
of drunkenness and brutality have been
more than proved, is on the public pay
roll, maintained at public expense as
clerk of a committee having in hand
the affairs of the five civilized tribes
of Indians.
Senator Tillman was proved a COM
mon CRATER by President Roosevelt in
connection with the western land grabs
That grating is family failing is now
demonstrated by his drunken son. The
senator's attempt to hold his grand
children away from their mother, who
is testified by everybody to be a wo-
man Of character and refinement, under
a statute no man should be willing to
even quote, only goes to add to the
contempt decent people have come to
have for man as devoid OF decency
, as he is OF breeding and manners.

OBJECT OF PENAL PUNISHMENT

[Carroll Herald.]
The object of penal punishment ought
not to be and to great extent Is not
.vindictive, but the more modern ana
humane idea is that the sentence snail
have been sufficiently justified when
the example has been made and the
victim brought to proper state OF
normal sensibility. We can not there
fore sympathize with the explosion
which has followed the discharge of
Stensland, the Chicago bank wrecker,
from the Joliet penitentiary. Those
who are making the uproar want to
see him punished and suffering They
want revenge. That is not the spirit
of the law The crook who robs bank
or connives at the robbery knowingly
should be shown no favor beyond that
which justice impartially hands out to
the criminal whether he be bank
wrecker or a pickpocket. But after the
criminal Of either stripe is safely land
ed he is an object of misfortune and
pity and ought not to be the victim OF
an unholy revenge. No kind OF a
scoundrel should escape the law, high
or low. But the moment criminal
ceases to be a menace to society he
should be restored to his full liberties
as man.
