Dearly Bought Experience.

Such cases as the abduction of the
Anderson girl are of the kind that
involve costs without any CORE
spending benefits unless it is the
lesson taught that lawful means gen
orally involve collateral punishment.
The girls account does not seem
to have been productive of any good
results, for if the truth is told she
charges her family with cruelty and
threatens to run off of her own ac-
cord or make way with herself. while
the father emphatically denies that
any harshness had been used in her
restraint.
The Nevers pair and Jenkins seem
to look upon the abduction OF an
infant" as matter of little mo-
ment, and it seems probable that
their scheme has been far more rep
rehensible than now appears on the
surface, and that the child is now as
much under their control as ever.
1t is limited that much information
will come to light when the matter
comes up for hearing, set for next
week.
1t is a pity that the innocent tax
payer has to foot the bills of this
vicious and criminal class OF people
who acknowledge no control but their
own unbridled instincts. Itwould be
but fair that conviction of such peo-
pie as these abductors should be fol-
lowed by adequate punishment.

TACOMA CLERK CoNFEssEs EMBEZ-
zLExENT.-H. A. Bingolf, teller OF
the City Treasurer's Office of Ia
coma. was arrested Wednesday on q
charge of embezzlement Of SIS, 200.
There is no doubt of his guilt for he
has made full confession and fur
nished an itemized account Of his
populations. covering period OF two
years. This foots up about $4,000,
but he declares that some items are
missing, and that the total defalca-
ton will amount to $4,000. His
manner of embezZlement has been
to collect delinquent assessment GER
tificates and use the money in gam
bling and riotous living. Not cent
remains to refund to the treasury.
One Of the most singular conditions
concerning this arrest is, that Com
missioner Freeland, who asked for
the arrest of Bingolf, became so
weak when he confronted the prison
er at police headquarters. that he
nearly tainted. and that Treasurer
White sobbed aloud when first told
the news of arrest, while Others in
the Office we're affected by surprise
and grief.

An Impending Crisis.

A contest has arisen that the
courts will probably have to decide
between foreign laborers and church
members, at Macon, Mo-. regarding
the right to hold Sunday dances.
Many warrants have been issued
against the dancers and five arrests
have been made. They claim that it
is their constitutional right to enjoy
the Sabbath in their own way so
long as they do not interfere with
any one, and the church people claim
the dances were so noisy they amount
ed to disturbance. The foreigners
have retained counsel and will con-
test for the right to dance. 1t is the
opinion of many people that it is
hardly necessary to prove. or even
allege boisterous conduct, to estab-
lish a disturbance" in the meaning
and true intent OF the law. In
Christian communities it is sup
posed at least that Christian Gus
toms shall prevail, and it is no Won
der that Christian people shall en-
deavor to maintain rules that they
have been taught to establish and
respect. To tolerate, is to destroy
feeling which prompts reverence
for holy things.

Big Fire at Tacoma.


The St. Paul mill at Tacoma,
burned Saturday morning, with a
loss of $500, 900. The fire originated
in the planning mill about 4 O'Clock,
from some unknown cause, and soon
the whole structure was a6ame. and
it was couple hours before it was
under control.
The buildings destroyed were the
old sawmill, the larger of the two,
the planning mill, large dry kiln, two
lumber sheds. and 200. 900 feet of dry
lumber. The new sawmill. the horse
barns and the docks and larger por-
tions of the yards were saved.
The horse-barns were within q few
feet of the lumber sheds which burned
and the night force of the mill had
hard time saving the barns during
the early part of the fire. Several
times the 100 horses were removed
when caught in places, and later re-
turned. The horses were valuable
draft animals, and all saved.

HARD QUESTION
F0R COMMITTEE
1T MUST DECIDE HOW FAR THE
UNIT METHOD is TO
APPLY.

One of the particularly tough nuts
the state democratic executive COM
mittee will be called upon to carck
when it assemblies to call the next
general state primary probably for
Augustus the question of the man
ner of nominating judges and solicit
tors general in Georgia.
There are some very sharp and
emphatic differences of opinion
among politicians and aspirants for
office with respect to this manner and
it will require more than ordinary
diplomacy upon the part of tn state
committee to settle it with approx
mate satisfaction to all parties con-
cerned. i
There are those who stoutly APP
prove of the county unit plan of
nominating statehouse officers and
governors, but who, nevertheless,v view
with alarm that same plan with re-
gard to the nominating of judges and
solicitors They point out that this
plan might give some large counties
absolute control of certain judicial
circuits, to the utter exclusion of the
small counties therein This, they
affirm, would surely be undemocratlc
and unfair.
There are others who maintain,
just as stoutly, that the county unit
being fair and democratic within the
state in a large class of elections,
it is fair and democratic in all; that
the principle applied to the govern
orship applies no less surely to the
judgeships and solicitorshis. They
aver that while it might work to the
seeming disadvantage of one or two
circuits, it surely would be the fit
and proper thing in the vast MAORI
ty of them, hence should be adopt
ed.
Little if any doubt exists that the
committee will call a general prima-
~ under the county unit plan; GER
tainly in so far as the governorship
and the statehouse officers are con-
cerned. 1t doubtless will be petit
ton I'd to make an exception of this
in the matter of judgeships and So
licitorships. Whether it will agree to
this petition is the problem vexing a
good many ambitious Georgians to-
day. Some are firmly of the opinion
that it will; others are equally as
positive that ii will not.
