ADJUSTMENTS
COLISEUM.

Last night opened the new bill at the Coliseum consisting of three high class acts, the first number appearing on the program being Wilson and Rose in a black face singing comedy act which was well received. MT. Wilson appeared as a negro wench and intro duced a very clever dance. The act closed by both Wilson and Rose sing ing an excellent song. The next num- Der was Baby Libenow, presenting a very clever singing and violin act, which was received with many encores Baby LibenoW is a great favOrite in the city, but has not appeared on the stage for nearly two years, but proved herself even more clever than before, and just as great a favorite. The last number, MT. and Mrs. Thomas Car rol introduced a Yiddish act entitled "The Dancing Hebrew and His Lady Friend" Both proved themselves rare artists in their line and were received with hearty applause. Some excellent pictures were given, completing an eX- ceptionally good bill-one which should insure a packed house at every per formance this week.

EATING ONES WORDS.

Books have been burnt as a token of disapproval ever since the Athenians condemned the work of Protagoras "On the Nature of the Gods o-5e burned in the Agora; ever since the Chinese emper. Shin Huang-ti. decreed that all the literature in his empire was wretched and dangerous stuff and burned it all. It will be re membered that the University of Oxford burned Milton's works, and that only five years ago the Oxford Union resolved that certain books, already in the li- brary, should be rejected and pub licly burnt" Gabriel Peignot many years ago complied dictionary of books that had been burnt by the common hangman." But writers have been compelled to eat their own words. Thus Philip Oldenburger, a jurist of the seventeenth century. was not only flogged ;he was forced to swallow two pages of a pamphlet he bad written. There was Isaac Volmar. who wrote pamphlets against Bernard, duke of Saxony. The duke, apparently a sen sitive person, compelled him to eat a copy of every one of them. Authors sometimes were offered the choice of death or their books as food
 A mighty angel, clothed with a cloud. gave to John, on the isle called Pat mos, a little book, and John ate it up. It was sweet as honey in his mouth, but, eaten, it was bitter. In this in
 stance John was not the author. If he had been, the book would have been the more bitter. The supreme irony would be to sentence the author of a cook book to eat his or her own words. and there are discouraged hOusekeep- CTS who would joyfully see the execu- ton of the sentence. So. too. the au- thors of works on diet might well be sentenced. These would be brave in-

FINANCE AND COMMERCE

New York, July 19-Only listless attention was paid to any news by operators in stocks today, and no in ducement was found for taking steps in the market that made any per ceptible effect on prices. The amounts of dealings were trivial and the range of prices was narrow.
 An early decline was followed by q recovery, leaving fractional gains.
 Various factors combined to build up strength in the New York banking position, but the effect on the senti- ment of the stock market was modi- fled by disposition to look askance at the revived movement for the for nation of currency associations such as are provided for by law for the issuance of emergency currency

Aoainst the Airmen.

The Catholic Universe of Cleveland, Ohio, takes a pride in being thor oughly old Fashioned in it's beliefs. It has no sympathy with the ambition of man to fly before he is an angel:
 The craze for dirigible balloons and airships should be legally re- stricted. We do not think that the Creator intended that man should in habit the air or to fly like the birds, else He would have furnished him with wings. The numerous deaths that have occurred from the attempts to fly should warn man that his habi- tation and home is on the earth. To get wings, Seek first the Kingdom of God and His Justice and take the Commandments for your daily chart and guide.''
 No doubt the same line of reason ing leads our Cleveland teacher to oppose wagons. buggies, bicycles, au- tOmobiles, steam and trolley cars. since every man is not born with wheels" albeit some unquestiOnabiy are, and a few such have taken up their resi- dence in Arizona There can be no question, however, as to the sound ness of the Catholic Universe's advice as to the sure method of acquiring wings

A Good Man SIandered.

We feel that the Indianapolis News is guilty of islander against that good man and great statesman, Sena- tor Eugene Hale of Maine. The story told by the News runs thus:
 Tn 1905 a subordinate in the gov ernment service, Richard Parr. was on duty in the Passamaquoddy customs district (Maine) under Collector George A. Curran, who is described as the local party leader Parr be- came convinced that merchandise was being smuggled in from Canada. July "A, that year, he seized sixty bales of wool and 6,000 bundles of hides that hadn't paid duty. The persons inn plicated,' says the narrative, were among the strongest in the state, po- litically and financially Here Sena- tor Hale appears in the story. The statement as to him is that he promptly telegraphed to Washington a request that the government pro ceed very slowly in the matter; also that in his telegram he pronounced the seizure unwarranted, the impli- cated Maine citizens above suspicion. and Richard Parr an overZealous. in- judicious person. Parr's superior, Col lector Curran, was-the story says-a stockhOlder in the tanning company to which the seized hides, or some of them, were on their way. The United States attorney for the district was a young man who owed his appointment to Senator Hale and was embarrassed by the situation The government di- rected United States District Attor- ney Martin of Vermont to inquire into the facts and report. He report ed-according to the story-that the government had a case which could not be beaten but he was mistaken. The case came up for trial before Judge Hale-'a brother of the sena- tOr'-and the defendants were acquit- ted. The statement about Judge Hale is that he threw out what the gov ernment considered it's strongest evi- dence' Richard Parr was transferred the story says at Senator Hale's in stance-tO Boston. There he made another seizure (twenty bales of wooD and James B. Reynolds, then assist ant secretary of the treasury, now member of the presidents tariff board is quoted as having said to him on that occasion: It's no use; they have the cards stacked against you Who were they? Richard Parr was trans ferred to New York, detected the su- gar-weighing frauds, and under the law is entitled, apparently, to a re- ward of $100,000 But it will be nee essary for congress to vote sS0,000 of this sum, and Senator Hale is quoted as saying that it won't be voted while he is in the senate"
 We hasten to state one of the req sons why we don't believe this story For years and years Senator Hale op- posed the admission of Arizona to the Union. He was animated in this op- position, we have always understood, by his belief that the citizenship of Arizona was inferior, and that our senators in congress would not be of that high quality necessary for pleas ant association with him and the other Brahmins of New England How, then, could a man of such su- perior character stoop to the things charged by the indianapolis News? IL is simply impossible.

DIME NOVELS AND CRIME.

The blood-and- thunder dime novel is held responsible for the attempted sui eide of a youth of 16 in New York city; his mother thinks he must have read a thousand of these sensational tales. and urges the authorities to devote to the suppression of such pseudo litera- ture some of the energy they are now employing against nude statuary. But there are at least two points to be re- membered-first. that thousands of American youths have read this sort of stuff without shooting themselves or anybody else; and second, that q boy who devOured a thousand of the yarns before he attempted suicide must have folmdsa homeopathic dose of evil, at he'w6rst. in each of them.

There is complaint made that one
of the old store buildings on the
Bagby-Jones lots on Wilson street is
to be moved into the street to remain
all summer to be used as business
house. II seems that the city council
has granted this authority however
much It may be to the discomfort Of
the public. We very seriously doubt
the authority of the city council to
thus utilize the public streets for busi-
ness purposes. The streets, alleys
and parks belong to the public and
cannot be sold, leased nor loaned out
for private purposes. 1t is certainly
unfair to the men who purchase lots
and spend large sums in buildings to
have the council grant the use Of the
streets for business purposes.

trust in the management of county,
city and state affairs. There are strik-
ing examples in republican counties
in Oklahoma which prove this con-
tention. In one of the most promin-
ent counties in the first congressional
district negro is now chairman of
the board of county commissioners.
Another is member of the school
board. Another is secretary of the
republican congressional committee of
the second congressional district. Do
the white people of Oklahoma want a
return to the conditions which existed
in territorial days when a negro oc-
cupied the position of deputy terri
torial auditor and might be seen at
any time ct the state capital dictat-
ing letters to white girl stenograph-
ers? Do the people want negroes
elevated to state positions? Not much.
Oklahomans believe in a white mans
government and they believe in the
party that gives them that kind of
government.

Creager and Morgan, for the sake of

The democratic party is not respons-
ible for the return Of the three cent
fare on railroads operating in this
state. That much is certain. The
democratic party, through the con-
stitution, forced the railroads to put
the two cent fare in effect and with
the coming of statehood the railroad
tariffs read that way. The republican
party has forced the three cent fare
back into effect again through injunc-
tion proceedings in the federal courts.

cratic party, but they failed to look
