Women Unite to Bar Hats.

Cleveland, O.-Women's hats are
barred during the services in the De-
troit Avenue Methodist church, Lake
wood. Such is the decree of the La,
dies Aid society of the church. Rev.
Duston Kemble, the pastor, had sug-
gested to his parishioners that there
would be no objection If the women in
the congregation removed their hats
during worship. Following the wish
of the pastor the women of the church
held a meeting which resulted in a
unanimous decision to accede to the
pastors wish in the matter.

OFFICIAL GIVEN CLEAN BILL
John L. Sullivan Escapes Criticism on
Graft Charges by Investigating
Committee.

Columbus, O.-John L. Sullivan,
one of the state officials investigated
who escapes criticism or direct
charges of grating in the report of
the Beatty probe committee Just COM
pleted. The committee declares that
Mark Slater, as supervisor of printing,
conspired with J. E. Brelsford, d. w.
Dinsmore and Charles Whealen and
defrauded the state of immense sums
of money. John w. Johnson, super
visor between Sullivan and Slater, is
held guilty of negligence and poor
bookkeeping. The report declares
that Hy d. Davis and Col. w. S. Rog-
ers of Cleveland, State Treasurer w.
S. Creamer and John w. Zuber of
Paulding, charged improper expenses
as fire marshals. The matter is re-
ferred to the attorney general. Cream
charged against them.
The report says the evidence tends
to show fraudulent transactions by
William Ball, deceased, formerly in
the fire marshal's office; George E.
Wood, formerly stationery clerk un,
der the secretary of state, and Har'
ry King, formerly chief clerk to the
commissioner of railroads and tele'
graphs. Their chiefs are exonerated
The committee says it was unable to
continue it's work because of the i'm.
pending legislative adjournment. The
next legislature is urged to continue
the housekeeping. The total amount
of graft charged to Slater is $34,524.22
for goods never delivered. The declar
alton is made that prices paid are Sc
high on goods delivered as to lead to
suspicion of additional fraud.

of the late election, He announces,
however, that in an address to be made

and tell the real story of how it hap
pened. The explanation will undoubt-

garden forest standing in Prussia to-
lay. Half of it belongs to the people
n common, either to the state or to
the villages. 1t paid 40 years ago an
average profit of 80 cents an acre per
year Today it pays Sl.65 an fcre. In
20 years, when it is more mature, it
will pay $500 an acre, net profit, and,
N addition to it's protective value, will
return, from the common forest alone,
an income of 100000 year to the
people. It furnishes all the firewood

Adistiller was found guilty in the
court of Judge Kenesaw M. Lands OF
defrauding the government out of $500,
900 of revenue. Before imposing SEN
tence Judge Lands learned that two
other dlstillers who had been indicted
on the same kind of charge were about
to be freed by the treasury department
upon payment of the amount which
they were charged with defrauding
JINGLE Sam out OF. The Judge prompt
ly suspended sentence, declaring that if
ne other men were freed he would
turn the convicted man free also, TAX
ing the seemingly unusual position that
all men should be treated alike in
courts of justice.
This incident calls attention to the
peculiar practice of the internal revenue
service in dealing with violation Of the
revenue laws. 1t is the common prac-
tice where distillers, brewers and sa-
loon keepers are caught violating the
revenue laws to compromise with the
offenders instead of prosecuting, often
requiring nothing more than payment
of the taxes which have been evaded.
This practice is in absolute conflict with
ordinary criminal procedure. If a man
steals few postage stamps from a
postoffice there is no opportunity to
compromise, and the punishment in
hicted is many times the value of the
property taken. Why should differ
ent rule be followed in the case of the
man who steals from the government
by evading the payment of revenue
dues?
If an ordinary citizen has property
stolen from him and afterward makes
an agreement with the thief to shelter
him from prosecution on consideration
of his returning the stolen goods, the
stern arm of the law reaches out and
Furnishes the property owner for COM
pounding the crime. On what principle
of justice does the treasury department
act in compromising crimes committed
by booze producers or dispensers? Is
the federal government divine being
that can dispense with the rules gov
erning ordinary mortals?
The moral to be drawn from these
facts seem to be that it is bad practice
to steal, but if you must steal, steal
from Uncle Sam. You may then avoid
punishment by returning as much of
the stolen goods as he can trace into
your possession.

The reported invention of an aerial
torpedo serves to call ones attention
to the remarkable development of the
means of warfare. In olden DAYS
victory lay with the army which was
strongest physically, with the muscu-
lar bowmen and spearmen. The in
vention of gun-powder placed the man
of moderate strength on a plane with
the giant, and made the game one
largely of skill. On water it became
matter of building large ships armed
with heavy guns. Then came the iron
clads, which possessed protection a.
gainst the heaviest guns known. These
were followed by the invention of guns
of high penetrating power and of tor
pedoes which struck the battleships be-
low the water line. To overcome the
power of torpedoes, swift sailing cruis-
ers known as destroyers were de-
veloped, devised to pursue and destroy
the small torpedo boats. Recently the
development of the airship has added a
new danger to the worlds navies,
and to combat these we have the
aerial torpedoes and newly invented
projectiles which set fire to an
airship on striking it. Presumably the
limit has not yet been reached. What
the next development will be we leave

are made, the President contenting
himself in most cases with recommend
ing subjects of legislation to fthe care
fuland wise consideration of Congress. :"
This is a 'safe and sane method of
dealing with matters that will not a.
larm the business interests" nor
worry or irritate Congressman. The
President reiterates his love for the
Payne tariff law, but admits that
some changes in schedules might be
made. The tariff board, he thinks,
will furnish valuable information, and
on the basis of such information the
tariff should be revised one schedule
at time. No recommendation of i'm
mediate change is made.
A valuation of railroad property by
the interstate commerce commission,
for which La Toilette has fought ever
since he entered the senate, is recon-
mended. The President should be con-
graduated on having reached this con-
clusion. although it took long stren-
uous course of instruction by the Pro-
gressives to lead to it.
Economy in the various departments
Of justice is urged, along with recon-
mendation for the increase of salaries
of judges, expensive fortification of
the Panama canal and subsidies to
ocean steamships. The plaintive ap-
peal made in former messages for in
crease of postage on magazines is re-
peated, but no suggestion is made of
reducing the extortionate charges of
railways for carrying the mail.
1t is urged that provision be made
for the carrying of parcels not exceed
ing eleven pounds on rural routes.
The Progressive idea of leasing in
stead of selling coal lands and water
power sites is adopted.
One of the striking portions of the
message is that wherein the necessity
of reform in court procedure is dis
cussed. The President makes the fol-
lowing assertion, which a few years
ago would have called forth hot denun-
Citations as being the blatant frothing
of a demagogue or anarchist: Under
present conditions the poor man is at a
woeful disadvantage in legal contest
with corporation or a rich opponent. !"

England is enjoying political cam

American it seems queer that civil

is bad enough, but in that case the
chief evil is the expense, which in mod
