Seeks an Inquiry.

Washington.-In a communication
received by Representative Burke, T..
c. Burns, register of the land office at
Gregory, S. d., asks that an investiga-
tlon be made Of the charges of George
Silsbee, the Minnesota soldier, who in
letter recently forwarded to Repre-
sentative Davis made statements re-
f1ecting on the administration of Reg
lister Burns and Land Commissioner
bennett. Silsbee charged in substance
that he had been defrauded out of a
claim on Tripp county land in South
Dakota.
Register Burns comes back with a
charge that Silsbee was used as a
cats paw" by land vultures, and he
asks that the case be placed in the
hands of an inspector with instructions
to make thorough investigation.
Representative Burke has called the
matter to the attention of Commis-
sioner bennett, and an inquiry will
doubtless be made as demanded by the
Gregory register.

The Life of the Sun.
Marine Journal: The reason why
the sun retains its heat, in spite of the
quantity that 1t gives out, is explained
by the fact that heat is generated BY
the fall of particles toward it's center.
The diameter of the sun diminishes
annually by $50 meters, a little more
than the ten millionth part of its to-
tai
According to estimates made, thirty
thousand years will pass before the
solar radius diminishes enough to pro-
duce an effect appreciate by the most
delicate instrum ents-always suppos-
ing that the astronomical instruments
Of the future will be similar to the in
struments of the present. BY like cal
culations it is estimated that the sun
will send heat to the earth between
six millions and eight millions of years
longer.
Radium, which emits heat sponta-
neously and without cessation, is pres
ent in the sun. One gramlne of ra-
dunn frees enough heat in one hour
to raise a grain of water from the
temperature of ice to the temperature
of boiling water. Hence the presence
of this element assists in the preser-
walton of the suns heat. The spec
troscope reveals great quantities Of
helium in the sun: quantities great in
proportion to the suns other elements.
The presence of helium is due to the
disaggTegation of radium.
the suns elements would be enough
for the entire regeneration Of all the
heat ever lost by the sun.

How the
Tariff Works.

Little do the common people realize
just how Ubiquitous the protective
tariff is. The contenders Of the rob-
berry tariff would not have the etfron-
terry to go before the people and give
them the facts as they are.
According to statistics compiled by
the late Senator Dolliver who was d
protectionist, for every dollar which
goes into the federal treasury as a
result Of the protective tariff, seven
dollars are exacted from the ultimate
consumers of this country.
Is it hard to grasp the meaning OF
what the Democrats want when they
say they are for a tariff for revenue
only?" Seven dollars from the con-
sumner where the government gets one
no wonder the protected interests OF
America are becoming rich when COM
petition is practically eliminated.
These protected interests on the
other hand take advantage of protec-
ton in America and sell some Of their
output in foreign countries in compe-
tition with the manufacturers there
and yet they make a profit.
The true information on the tariff
question ought to make every man OF
average circumstances and the rich
ones who believe in fairness and JUS
tice, vote for a Democratic candidate
for president. We have the house
already.

Give Us
The Alligators.

When the word Florida is mentioned
in the northern states a mental pic
ture Of green trees. fragrant flowers,
balmy breezes, silvery waters and birds
and alligators appear before everyone.
Who thinks Of Florida without think
ing of alliagtors?
Pensacola has all of the character
istics belonging to the Land of En-
chantment-except the alligators.
Pensacola must have some alligators.
Not the little kind that can crawl
around in a wash basin. but some OF
the big kind and the little ones, too-a
whole generation Of alligators, or sew
eral generations.
Pensac cola has hundreds OF winter
visitors, and, as a matter of fact is
the only city or town in the state
which bids for the winter visitors
which cannot boast of alligators. ALI
gators have been seen in Pensacola
many times, but they are usually the
result of too much stun that requires
chasers.
There are children growing up in
Pensacola, natives Of Florida, some OF
them, who have never seen one OF
these characteristic reptiles of our land
and water, and it isn't treating them
fair nor is It treating the tourists fail
by the city not having a supply Of
gators.

where these alligators might be seen,
and the expense would be nothing
compared to the pleasure they would
afford to both residents and visitors.
These kind of places in other Flor
ida cities are big drawing cards and
Pensacola ought not be behind. In
Pensacola the birds sing more sweetly
than they do elsewhere. The breezes
are just q little more refreshing and
invigorating, the flowers are more fra

foliage are prettier than in other
places-but we haven't any alligators.

Punishment For
Criminal Negligence.

Sometimes We hear of persons being
indicted for criminal negligence, but
we seldom hear that these persons so
indicted are brought to trial Where
life is lost as a result of criminal neg
ligence the one responsible is just as
deserving of punishment as the high
wayman who would rob the traveller
of his purse and then kill him If he
should resist.
When wrecks occur on railroads, big
buildings burn and the occupants are
brought to death because there are no
fire escapes of adequate capacity, or
when dams break and the surging wa
ters carry death to the residents Of
the valleys, the real result may be
traced either to some employe falling
to do his duty or to owners who are
willing to endanger lives rather than
spend a few dollars. Either class Of
people are dangerous and they should
be given the limit of the law.
The breaking of the dam at Austin.
Pa, appears to have been the result
of negligence on the part Of some men
to save a few thousand dollars, and If
It can be proven that such was the
case, they are just as guilty of MUIR
der as if they had shot down so many
people.
Seven or eight months ago when the
big shirtwaist factory burned in New
York. it developed that had the off,
GERS in charge made changes as re-
quired in the fire. escape equipment
that the lives would not have been lost.
Other cases. while not quite as bad
as these in point of number dead. come
to the public's attention nearly every
week and the end does not appear to
be in sight
There ought to be some way to
handle the persons who are guilty of
criminal negligence. The beginning OF
it with the Austin people would mean
the saving of many lives in the future.
