HIS REMOVAL FROM DEPART
MENT OF JUSTICE FORCES
HISTORY IN OLD AGE.
ALMOST BLIND AND DEAF
Who Disappeared After Battles
Held Federal Offices Under
Republican Administration.

Washington, d. C.-The retirement
Of Col. John s. Mosby from a position
as special attorney in the department
of justice, after eight years service,
marks the passage from active life OF
a notable character of the civil war.
Veterans of the wal who recall the
days when the southern cross cleaned
in the light of battle, remember
Colonel Mosby as one Of the most
picturesque characters of the war. Z,
At the age of 70 he is almost blind
and deaf. 1t is promised that he will
devote his declining years of his life
to the writing of a book in which will
be recorded the incidents relating to
his connection with the battles and
skirmishes of the rebellion.
In the War to the Last.
He was one of the most notable
guerilla chieftans of the ~irrepresslble
conflict. He participated in the fight
ing from the very first demonstration
until the close of hostilities. 1t was
he who carried the news OF the fall
of Sumter and the call for troops by
Lincoln, to Governor John B. Floyd of
Virginia, who had resigned as secre
tary of val in the Buchanan cabinet.
He joined his fortunes with the con-
federate cause at the beginning of hos.
~tilities, and unto the present day ls
gends are afoot of a mysterious per.
soma sort of a flying Dutchman or
Wandering Jew-prowling among the
camps in the daytime in garb of beg
gar or pilgrim, and who led calvary
raids at night.
Won With Recruits.
AS the war progressed he crossed
the Rappahannock into northern Vir-
ginia, which was his theater of war.
Until the termination of hostilities he
conducted a remarkable campaign by
the aid of recruits who scattered fol.
lowing each engagement and gathered
at his call like children Of the mist.
He himself says his command had
reached its highest efficiency Just az
it was compelled to surrender. Since
the close of the civil war Colonel Mos
by has held federal office as an APP
pointee of a Republican administra-
ton.

JOHN RoBiNSoN'S SHOWS.
They Will Give an Immense Free
Street Parade.

A distinguished feature of the John
Robinson Shows is the monster. free
open den street Who does
not like to see THE circus parade?
An eyentful moment in every small
town, and large one, too. for that
matter. is the early one, the arrival
of the circus train. Long before the
long train pulls in on the sidetrack
nea the depot the crowd is there.
There is al army of juvenile volun-
teers, who are willing TO carry water
for the elephant just to get n free
p~asteboard emitting them to admis-
sion to the show later in the day.
Men are thereto see hat their
boys, who have passed a sleepless

Boys, who have gathered and sold
enough old iron, rags and bones to
get 30 cents, enjoy a memorable day.
and the streets leading from the
farming district to town are covered
with every imaginable kind OF We

As soon as the sun is out there is
puSlle ana activity every place. The
circus does a land office business.
and, as the crowd is pouring into the
circus tent from 1.-THE menagerie at
the night performance, the army of
employees of the show start to take
down the canvas which shelters the
cages and the work of loading the
outfit onto the train begins. Thous-
ands of tired boys and girls retire
after having seen the show, peace

BE HIND THE CURTAINS.

When some weeks ago We had
the temerity TO call attention to the
facts. that wet goods were being
freely sold to minors over Falls city
bars: that gambling vas going on
unehallengcd under the very eyes
of the authorities. and that p%anderers
to lust unblushingly offered their
wares in open market. we were
mildly taken to task by our astute
mayor for representing the city I'M
favorably to outside interests. Since
then every point protested las been
openly and fully verified. A weak
woman rounded up a gang of gamb-
lers. who were convicted on their
own confession. Boys have again aud
again bought whiskey and other
drinks in Falls City saloons, on sev-
eral occasions getting beastly drunk.
Men and women have been in mix
ups too ugly and dirty to speak about.
And what has our mayor done2 Alb
s%olutely nothing so far as dealing with
the conditions which are responsible
for these ugly spots upon u city.
The abuses are committed so openly
and brazenly as to compel the con-
clusion of collision between the may
or and the vicious elements of Falls
City. We nave tried 10 be forbearinr
We did look for ONE relief, but
only to be disappointed. Let Mayor
Keeling deals with existing abuses
and deal with them promptly
Let him enforce the laws impartially
or quit the pretense of trying to gov
ern Falls City. Let him do something
in the interest of common deceney
or show cause why he should not be
removed.

JUST ORDINANCE.

The city fathers of Morristown. Ill.
have just passed an ordinance compel
ing saloon keepers to take care of
their DRINKS. They are Obliged to
put cots in their places and if a
mar gets drunk he must be quar-
tered until sober and capabel of going
about his business again. The jus
tice of this ordinance will appeal
to every fair minded person. Let
the saloon take care of its own waste
like any other industry. When a
railroad or a mandatory injuries an
employee by its own negligence it is
held liable. Applying the same prin-
ciple to the saloon, would make the
saloon responsible not only for the
of DRINKS while in that condi-
ton but also for the support of the
INDECENT and orphaned and widowed
because of the effects of the traffic.
That the courts are beginning to
take account of this fact and are in
sisting that the saloon bear its
share of the evils that grow out of
the business, is seen in the recent
decisions holding the saloon liable
for damages in suits growing out of
cases.

THE NEWSPAPER.

OF all men. the local newspaper
man needs To be wise and %judicious.
1t is largely left to him TO select the
community reading matter, To be
fair and impartial he must lay aside
his dislikes and clear himself of all
malice. If the paper you read is to
decide the quality of your reading
for you. is 1t not important also that
you be careful in choosing the paper
which you and your children read?
The mind grows upon what ii feeds.
II your paper caters to the mea
and vicious your %prejudices will be
developed along low and coarse lines.
1t makes a difference in time upon
the character of your household, If
you admit into your home a paper
that sneers at things clean and de-
cent, and makes mockery or righteous
ness and truth. To the newspaper
is largely committed the task of de-
v%eloping the public consciousness. 1t
is a responsible task, and not all
papers measure up to the require
ments. 1t is therefore important
that the reader use Judgment and dis
elimination in choosing his reading
matter by being careful in the choice
of his paper. TO subscribe for a
paper is in a measure to support its
policy, and recommend its principles.
This places a serious responsibility
upon the shoulders of every subscrib.
er and challenges every man of prin-
ciple and moral accountability to
select his papers with a view to what
they stand for and teach.

MOVING PICTURE SHOW MENACE

The moving picture show as a form
of popular amusement has no doubt
come to stay. As a means for sat
isfying the public craving for some-
thing new and diyerting the moving
picture show has few competitors.
And if deeently conducted is not only
freezer from Objectionable features
than most other similar institutions,
but it may also become the means Of
ministering to the culture and refine
ment of those who attend. Unfortu-
nately however, public caterers are
rarely In the business but from the
most selfish motives and instead of
making their presentations serve TO
instruct and edify the public. they
are constantly tempted to lower the
tone of their pictures. We are heart
lily sorry to learn that our own show
here in Falls City is catering more
an more to the deprayity of those
who attend rather than to their yir-
tues. The show is becoming a pub
lie menae and citizens who have any
concern for the ideals and morals of
their children. will do well to put a
stop to their attending. There is
absolutely no excuse for the manage
ments using any but wholesome views
except it be to deliberately degrade
and dehauch Il youths. In any
event We protest against permitting
the presentation in public of pic
lures that are coarse, suggestive, un-
moral and indecent. 1t is the bust
ness of the authorities to look into
this matter and see that the show is
so conducted as to be unobjectionable
or close the doors. -

THE BOY IN THE HIGH SCHOOL.

THE BOY IN THE HIGH SCHOOL.
Parents and educators have been
much wrought up ose the problem of
the boy and the high school. For
years there has been a marked dis
parity between the number of boys
and the number of girls attending
high school. In almost every case
the rumber of girls attending being
very much greater than the number
of BOYS. It is therefore refreshing to
note that in the class Of 1910 at
Broken Bow, Neb., there were twelve
boys and only seven girls. 1t is
argued and with good reason that
the tact of Broken Bow having been
a temperance city for a long time has
given the boys a better opportunity
and that the result is seen in the
greater number of boys finishing
their high school course. This much
Is certain. that saloon prosperity. sa-
loon morals. and saloon sentiment do
not SAVIOR of enliehtment or culture.
And ON the same basis that we find
a saloon cursed community lacking in
these refinements, We should look 10
find dry communities advanced in
matters of education and morality.
The saloon can no more do bust
ness without boys than a saw mill
can run without logs. The saloon

DENIES WAGING WAR
ON CLAIM OF DE GR0AT
Tri-Counties Committee States
Attitude on Case to The Herald

The tri-counties reforestation COM
mittee. from it's headquarters at Santa
Ana, sends a letter to The Herald in
which it is stated emphatically that
the committee is not in any way re-
sponsible for the cOnteSting of the
homesteading claim of George r. De
Groat in a tract of land withdrawn
from entry by the government for a
forest reserve.
De Groat's loss of his homestead
entry, on which he had expended much
time and money in an apparently legit-
innate effort to prove up his claim and
secure title, has been the cause of
much censure of the tri-counties com
mittee by the news columns of South
ern California papers, but Francis
Cutie, chairman of the committee,
submits copies Of letters to their at
torney, II. G. stephens of Los Angeles,
in which the latter is specifically di-
rected not to interfere with the rights
of De Groat, although directed to push
the work of obstructing the entries of
other homesteaders who were not i'm
proving their farms.
Mr.. Cutie further states that he
never knew that a contest was to be
brought against De Groat and that he
is unacquainted with the person who
brought the action.

Mrs. Wilds has undertaken the work OF
looking out for as many homeless ut

from regular patrons, but since the
quarantine was established week ago
she has not been able to get out and
gather in the shecllels. Consequently
the Mother Hubbard nursery rhyme
that the kiddies liked to hear in more
prosperous times is becoming too near
a realization and their little tummles
are nearly empty.
This sad condition of affairs was re-
ported to the health department yes
terday by the quarantine officer George
Miles, but the health department does
not know what to do about it. The
quarantine must be maintained for a
while longer, as all the children have
been exposed to the disease. They
are too numerous to send to the de-
tention hospitals and the city has no
funds to feed the unfortunates.

Municipal Affairs
PETITION SUFFICIENT
TO CALL AN ELECTION
City Council Must Decide on FL
nanCial Measure Next
Tuesday

Contending emotions are likely 10
tear the council next Tuesday. The
finance committee will have an espe-
cially bad day, for the city clerk will
report the referendum petition against
the new license ordinance as sufficient,
and that the council must submit the
ordinance to a vote of the people either
at a special election or the next general
election, which will be about two years
hence
On the one hand, if the council sub
mits the ordinance at a special election
called for that purpose alone it will
cost about $4,000, and there is a bare
possibility that the public service cor
porations-which are hit hardest by the
Iicense-will get out and work so hard
that it will be defeated, leaving the old
license ordinance in effect and the CITY
E12.O0O worse off. On the other hand, II
1t waits two years, which is what the
corporations hope will happen, the city
will lose the additional revenue the
ordinance provides.
STAND TO WIN
In either event the public service cor
norations and two or three of the larg-
est banks are the only ones who profit;
MANY teaInsters and others who signed
the referendum petition on the assur-
ance they would not have to pay any
license tax If they did, Will ma thelr
license tax just as high now as before
for the new ordinance repealed the old
one and as long as the new ordinance
cannot go into effect, the old one Is
operative. -,
The only changes in the new ordl-
nance are that those banks doing the
largest amount of business are forced
to pay a higher license, and the public
service corporations pay much higher
license.
Two or three kinds OF business on
which the license ordinance worked
hardship, especially the private water
companies that supply outlying tracts,
were cut out Of the new ordinance, but
as long as the old one is in operation
