JAILED FOR DEBT.

The opinion Is quite generally held
that a person cannot be imprisoned
for debt in this country. The opinion
IS erroneous to some extent. as the
case Of Mrs. Fannie s. Miller. a widow
Of New York. abundantly proves.
Mrs. KILLER IS In Ludlow street jail
because she refused to pay a debt OF
5000 contracted by her late husband.
and from all accounts IS likely 70 re-
main there until she comes through
with the money.
There was a moral as wen as legal
obligation involved n the payment OF
the debt and the woman was jailed
for contempt OF court when she dis
regarded the order OF the Judge to pay
r.
A person who cannot pay Is safe
from prison walls. but those who can
and v,n't can be locked up indefi-
nitely. and no injustice Is done.

KANSAS CITY,s ENTERPRIsE

They are always doing things at the
mouth OF the Kaw river Not long
ago q million dollars was raised for
the purpose Of putting on line Of
steamboats, between Kansas City and
St Louis for the purpose OF utilizing
the Big Muddy for freight trans
portation purposes once more.
Now the Kansas City-St Louis Eleo-
trio Railway company has been
formed. and It is proposed to put
down a double track between the two
cities. and this is but the beginning Of
magnificent plan for cheap power
and light
The company has leased ten thou
sand acres OF coal lands In Boone and
Howard counties, Missouri, one LGn-
dred miles from Kansas City. and will
erect large power houses near The
mines with sufficient capacity to fur
nish electrical power to operate every
factory. the elevators In every Office
building and light every home and
street in the city.
It being much cheaper to transmit
the power than to haul the coal. this
part Of the plan ought to be great
success. Among other advantages be-
sides cheapness there will be less dirt
and filth In the vicinity OF the big
factories, and the smoke nuisance will
be effectually abated. And all these
benefits will be q sort Of by-product
Of the trolley line.
There being an abundance Of coal
In Utah. perhaps some such plan can
be worked out for the benefit If salt
Lake and the other cities Of the state
in the future. The trolley lines are
coming soon In any event.

TURNED DOWN BY COURT.

The fireworks dealers are up a
stump. so to speak, in New York Fire
Commissioners Waldo refused to Issue
permits for the sale of fireworks ex-
cept under certain conditions pre-
scribed by the municipal explosives
commission
The dealers rushed to the supreme
court and attempted to mandamus the
fire commission. Here is the decision
OF the justice:
81 cannot find that the regulations
OF the fire commissioner are unreal
sonable. 1t is obvious that the pro-
lection Of the public was his aim In
framing his regulations. To a large
extent their reasonableness must de-
pend upon his wise judgment Man
damus is the remedy tc compel the
performance Of q definitely defined
ministerial duty of public officer, but
cannot issue to control or direct his
discretion or Judgment"
A combination of safe and sane fire
commissioner and safe and sane su-
preme court Justice ought to work well
for the public good. other officials
should take note OF their action and
follow suit BY next year the people
Of the United States have q right to
expect that life and property will be
safe even on the Fourth of July.

BILLY MASON BREAKS OUT.

His accidency. Billy Mason. has
come tumbling into the arena juggling
his bells and asserting that one-half
Of the United States senators buy their
seats.
Billy didn't buy his toga- It was
handed to him by reason of the fact
that the Illinois legislature was dead
locked and neither OF the strong can
didates would yield.
Billy served six years and made
such a reputation as a buffoon that
the members Of the legislature were
not suckers enough to re-elect him
when his term expired. and he's been
sore ever since.
Billy Mason Is a joke. and the most
humorous thing about him Is the fact
that he considers himself a statesman
Of the first water. His bump Of self
esteem Is so large and wen developed
that he considers himself an authority
