Another interesting contest devel-

sought TO be returned to the office
after a years absence. His opponent
was Mayor John II. Meman who de-
feated him last year and who was
again successful this time by wider
margin than before. In Worcester
and Woburn although the present
mayors We're reelected it was by
such narrow margin that recounts
will probably be asked.

Col Roosevelt said corporations should

Your grocer must make a profit, or he
won't continue to sell groceries," he ex-
planned; but if you pay his bills with
out examining them you don't show that

you have d soft head" He said the gov
ernnent should deal with corporations
on the same basis as man deals with
his grocer in giving and eXacting justice.
The colonel said there had been "a good
deal OF loose talk about proposed
changes in forms of government. The
effort to get more complet control over
the agencies of Interstate commerce for

THE HORSE TRAFFIC.
The horse market as a whole was quiet
during the past week, but there was an
increased demand for heavy horses for
use in the woods. This better demand
has resulted from the colder weather
and the snow in the woods. Both green
and acclimated horses have been in de-
mand for this purpose. Drivers have
been in moderate demand, but at this
season no activity is expected. The Of
ferings of horses during the past week
were about as usual, and there was no
change of consequence in prices. For
the best heavy drafters the market
ranges from $500 to s4OO. with medium.
drafters at $225Ms3OO. and wagon and ex-
press horses from $50 to $500 For accli-
mated and driving horses there is no
quotable range.
At the city sales stables:
Wheeler, McElveen & Co. report two
express cars of green horses and a con-
siderable number of acclimated horses.
They had large special sale of con-
tractors horses at Lawrence which was
very successful. Most of the horses
We're taken for service in the woods. The
demand for these heavy drafters was
excellent and drivers were in fair de-
mand Prices ruled abeout the same on
all grades.
Myer Abrams & Co. report quiet
trade, with prices averaging about as
before They received three loads Of
Western horses and about 80 acclimated
horses. They will have a big sale Of
heavy acclimated horses, 81 in all, aver
aging about 1900 lbs, this week. These
horses have been used by big con-
struction company, -,.
Welch & Hall Co. had two loads of
Westerns and about 80 acclimated
horses. Trade was quiet, with prices
about as week before. The demand
was rather better, especially for the
heavy horses.

Mr.. PARIS Disappointment.

A lot of maudlin sympathy is being
wasted on Richard Parr, the man cred
tied with having discovered the Sugar
trust frauds by which the government
finally recovered something like
100000 that had been mulcted by
the trust. Mr.. Parr expected some
thing like 100000 and is said to feel
that the government has done him
gross injury by giving him only $780,
600 and some folks seem to be shar-
ing this view with him.
Parr was deputy inspector for the
government, charged with the work of
inspection and in the pursuance Of his
regular duties he discovered the spring
that controlled the scales and cheated
the government out of millions of dol
lars to the benefit of the trust. Now
he says that he was offered much more
than the amount Uncle Sam allows
him by the Sugar trust to secret the
knowledge he possessed, but resolutely
refused the bribe. In that Mr.. Parr
SnOWeu himself 10 D0 al honest man,
shows to much better advantage than
when he adds, but I am disappointed
that the government places no pre-
MUM ON honesty among its employees. "
The government does place a pre-
MUM upon honesty among its en-
ployes and demands honesty of them.
Honesty is their duty, to the govern
ment as we'll as themselves. What the
government does not do is to mete out
scale of prizes or rewards for official
honesty and why should it? What
other institution does It? Why should
Mr.. Parr not have made the discovery
in the course of duty and, making it,
have reported 1t, regardless of future
personal considerations or aggrandize-
ment? 1t is a strange logic that leads
man to think he must receive a pre-
MUM for doing what he is in duty
bound to do and what every considera-
ton of moral and legal ethics demands
that he shall do. Parr did a hand
some job and he is getting handsome
reward, fortune for lifetime. Why
should he complain?

In Justice To Iatta

If every man in public Office is enti-
tied to full justice Congressman Latta
of the Third Nebraska district, the
only member of the Nebraska delega-
ton voting against the postal savings
bank bill, is, of course, entitled to a
square deal Inasmuch as partisan
critics are sometimes accused of po-
litical bias, we herewith give this dem
ocratic congressman the benefit of
comment from a good democratic
source by reproducing what Mr..
Bryan's Commoner says about him:
Representative James p. Latta, tho
democratic member from the Third Ne
braska district. voted against the postal
savings bank bill. When reminded by
the Washington correspondent for the
Lincoln (Neb) Journal that postal saw
ings banks were endorsed by the demo-
cratic national platform Mr. Latta said:
When the people turn down IA platform
as they did ours two years ago it's not
so binding as IL they had endorsed It.
Anyhow, the platform does not bind me
on this bank proposition"
When Mr. Latta offered this excuse he
perhaps IOFBOt lnat Doth the national
platforms declared for postal savings
banks 1t Is, therefore, e mighty poor
excuse for him to say that he voted
against the proposition because the peo-
pie turned down" the democratic plat
form, Mr.. Latta would do better to
stand upon the statement, Anyhow, the
platform does not bind me-" That is not
a first-class excuse, hut 1t is really better
than the other one.
Excuses which the local democratic
organ Ia Offering for Mr., Lattas pref
erence of his own private interest as
a banker over the public interest,
which he Is supposed to represent in
congress, do not appear to be as good
even as the excuses which he, himself,
has offered. and which Mr., Bryan re-
fuses to accept.
