ED" HOWE RETIRES.

From The Boston Transcript
The announcement from Atchison.
Kans.. that Ed" Howe had retired from
the editorship Of the Globe will have a
wide interest throughout the country.
Any one who has ever seen a copy Of the
Atchison Globe will never recover from
it. Mr.. Howe has run his paper in q

tions on human life. such as. mo Atch-

editors who had the task of picking out
these ''giobules." as they are called by
some papers have really had a rather
dimcult undertaking. but one whose re-
suits pleased them and their readers.
Mr. Howe Is. perhaps. better known by
his novel. The Story Of a Country
Town" which is really one Of the strong
est works of fiction ever written in the
United States. So powerful and moving
was 1t that Mr.. Howells declared on
reading 1t that the great American now
elist had arrived at last. and that we
had produced successor to Hawthorne:
but Mr.. Howe was not able to keep up
his pace. and his other novels were by
no means so successful.

A Costly Cement Slab.

One Of the most amazing occurrences
which has escaped the attention of re-
formers in the government and has been
unaccountably ignored by critics in Con-
gress is the transaction attending the dis
bursement Of public funds on account Of
what is known as the Emery disappear
ing gun carriage, to which reference has
The latest official reports. from such
sources Of information as the board Of
ordnance and fortidcation and the Chief
Of Ordnance of the army. this year con-
tinue to surround this affair of the, gun
carriage with much mystery. The report
from that board. for instance. gives the
usual narrative of the legislation which
authorized the expenditure of funds for
the gun carriage, and - concludes with
what should be a startling announcement
that another year has passed. the sew
enteenth since this work was authorized,
and the government has nothing to show
for the expenditure except the founda-
tions for the carriage, completed about
two years ago.
The foundations for the carriage. 1t
should be remarked. consist of a slab Of
cement placed in position at Fort Han
cock. N. j.. for which the government
has expended $2sS.5o0 in the last seven-
teen years! There remains the sum of
about $4,000. which is to be paid to Mr..
A. H Emery. the designer of the gun
carriage. and his associates. There Is
nothing anywhere in Official documents to
show why Congress has appropriated this
money or in what direction the money has
gone for the betterment Of the military
establishment, or as a contribution to the
system of national defense.
Nor is the fact that SO much money
has been appropriated and disbursed for
SO little that is tangible and useful the
only remarkable feature Of this situation.
Early in the legislation which so favored
the people who are interested in this gun
carriage, Congress enacted a law which
relieved them from the usual obligation
of a bond. They are evidently in the
very attractive position of not being re-
quired to deliver much for the money they
receive, and the government is placed in
a position where it may not fortify itself
against the failure of the benehciaries to
perform the service devolving upon them
In these days. when estimates are so
closely scrutinized that even the necessi-
ties of the government are ignored-ac-
cording to the Judgment Of some of the
representatives of the executive depart
ments-it is interesting to recall this ami
able transaction by which certain indi
viduals obtain nearly a quarter Of a
million dollars. with more to come. and
are not confronted with the necessity. SO
far as the records show. of doing any
thing in return for this disbursement of
the public funds. 1t would seem about
time that some investigation be under
taken as to this unprecedented circum-
stance.

Judge Lynch.

/ In the early days of the new year we
think We have a right to congratulate
Yourselves on the fact that in the matter
sof obedience and respect for law We have
IN tho year just past made visible prog
tfess. The statistics in regard to the vic
,tfms Of Judge Lynch during the year of
$50 have just been published, and they
show that in that twelve months. through
out the country. only 81 victims were
! executed under mob rule This js the
smallest number in any year since 1ssS. In
the previous year. 1909. there were 70
slynchfngs, and IN 1905 there were S.
As might have been expected, out Of
the 81 lynchinss In 1910 So were Of negroes,
and out of these s. negroes 10 of the

OF the negroes were lynehed for attempt
to commit this crime: II vere charged
