MAN-TRAILMG DOGS
KANSAS SHERIFF HAS PACK OF
FAMOUS HOUNDS.
Scent From the Handle of q Baseball
Bat Results in Apprehension Of
Murderer.

Six bloodhounds owned by Carl
Moore, sheriff Of Cloud county, Kan,
are famous in the four states Of Kan
sas, Mississouri, Nebraska and Okla
homa, in different parts Of which
they have tracked 10S criminals to
their hiding places. Recently in Jet
more, Kan, a threshing machine was
burned. The indications were that it
has been set on fire because there
had been quarrel between the diff
ferent owners of several machines
that were competing with each other
for business. Sheriff Moore placed
Red Panther, one of his hounds on
the trail, having discovered the
prints of a horses shoes in the
ground near the burned machine.
The dog ran nine miles, stopped at
the door of a stable and whined. The
owner Of the horse was asleep in his
house. When awakened by the sher-
if he confessed to the burning.
An incendiary burned the granary
of farmer at Glasgow, Kan, and de-
stroyed 1000 bushels of wheat. Sher-
if Moore was sent for and be appear
ed with bloodhound, which picked
up the scent and followed It six
miles to house that had three bed
rooms. The dog went to the bed in
one Of the rooms and paved the COW
ers of. Then he took up the scent
again and followed it to shed where
two men were playing cards. 1t was
found that one of them had slept In
the room searched out by the dog.
The man confessed and was sentenc-
ed to six years in prison.
In Glen Elder, Kan, an old man
who lived with his son disapr AIRED
and no trace of his could be found.
Sheriff Moore was On the scene fifty
six hours later and one of his dogs
took up the scent and followed 1t to
the river bank five miles away.
Three days later the body of the old
man was found lodged in trunk Of
tree fifty yards below the spot
where the bloodhound had stopped
on the bank.
In Wellington, Kan, man, his
wife and their daughter, who lived in
tent, were found murdered, their
heads crushed with baseball bat.
Sheriff Moore's dogs. took the scent
from the handle Of the bat and fol-
lowed straight to where the son of
the slain man and woman worked in
a car repairing shop and he was ar
rested.
In Lathrop, Mo-, a man killed some
horses and mules by putting poisons
in their feed. Moore's hloodhounds
trained him from the feed lot, thru
the brush and twice across the creek
to his home, where he was taken IN
charge by the authorities. His shoes
were found to fit exactly the tracks
in the soft mud Of the creek bottom
and he was convicted.
In Pratt, Kan, banker was shot
in his home by man who stood out
side and fred through the window.
The lawn was roped off until Moore
and his hounds could arrive. After
a lapse of ffty-three hours the dogs
took the scent at once and followed
It around town, finally stopping at
the Jail where a man was confined
who had been arrested a few hours
previously for brandishing a knife
and threatening to kill man. His
shoes fitted the tracks in the bank
er's lawn and later he confessed to
the shooting.

Relative to the death of little Beu-

KNOCKING THE COMMISSION PLAN.

"Ottumya having adopted the COM
mission form OF government, 1t will
now substitute the high price for the
low. price politician and call govern

Why? Was 1t the high priced poll

council in $4,000 water works scan
DIAL? Was 1t the high priced politicians
who elected and continued in office a
saloon keeper as mayor of Dubuque?
Was 1t the high priced politicians who
refused for years to recognize the tenn
perance laws on the statute books of
Iowa and defied the state officers to
enforce them?
The trouble with Dubuque is that it
IL standpat in everything. The powers
in control Of political and municipal
affairs in Dubuque refuse to advance
unless they are driven, and only in re-
cent days has it been publicly conceded
that Iowa has a Moon law as an ad-
1nirable adjunct to its prohibition
statutes and that this law must be
enforced In Dubuque as elsewhere.
The commission form of government
Is proving its own worth, In no city
where it has been tried or is being
tried 10 there the least sentiment in
favor Of a return to the old plan of
cumbersome and generally inefficient
city councils. Every commission gov
erned city Is paying it's commissioners
larger salaries than were received by
the councilmen under the old plan, and
profiting by its investment. The low
priced ward politician has been largely
eliminated.

THE REcED1NG CORNER.

TSioux City Journal
The United States supreme court has
decided that corners are Illegal. In the
future SPECTATORS who can be shown
to have run a corner can be prose-
cuted under the criminal section of the
Sherman law and punished for con-
spiracy in restraint Of trade. Not only
that. but anyone who may feel injured
by a corner while it is in progress can
get out an injunction restraining the
operators from continuing their re-
straint of trade. Debts incurred thru an
illegal restraint OF trade need not be
Iiauidated. Altogether the supreme
court decision does not leave much safe
ground for further money making by
means of the once well advertised cor
ner.
Altho the corner has been put under
ban. buying on a margin for future de-
livery remains legitimate. What Is the
difference between an illegal corner
and a legitimate speculation In fu-
lures? At best it often will be difficult
to draw the line between the two
transactions. It may be predicted tina,
our learned judges will have to puzzls
their brains frequently IN drawing thii
line in the middle Of twilight zone
Generally speaking a corner IL ef'
fected when an individual or group o.
individuals acting Jointly buys more o.
commodity than can be delivered a

The Munsey Merger.
New York Tribune.]

~
Frank A. Munsey's project for cor
ner;ns" the opposition to the Wilson adj
,,inistra.ion is commendable for Its
frankness. The proprietor OF the Press
wants to apply steel trust and harvester
trust methods to politics. and ms 1a1tn
in efficacy Of New Jersey charter IS
sublime. He holds that a merger OF
the stock Of the progressive party
would create holding company strong
enough to drive the democratic party
ont OF the field. Why then, he asks,
not form "a holding party to take over
the republican and progressive parties,
as a holding company in the business
world takes over and amalgamates
competing concerns?" We wonder at
Mr iMunseys moderation. To make a
sure thing surer, why does he not let
the socialists anu prohibftionists into
the merger In a grandioce deal OF
this sort he could certainly afford to
be generous to all the smaller fry.
With man who thinks OF political
organizations only as commercial com :
petitors struggling for advantage IN the
| marker place. it wuold be useless 70
argue that to the common mind they
stand for something entirely different.
Most people, having never absorbed
the philosophy Of "big business" con-
tinue to believe that political party
| has functions more important than
merely PAYING dividends. They are
| satisfied that to hold power and dis
| tribute Offices is not the sole mission
of political organizations. The great
ma jority Of the people are still old
| ia shioned enough to agree that 1t is
even more essential for a party TO
maintain it's principles than to capture
| and divide the Offices. OF course. TO
such, both republicans and progressives
! Mr.. Munsey talks strange language
They will not understand, and they

proposition which he has laid before
| them. II they repel his suggestion with
some acrimony he can console himself
with the reflection that. like another
pioneer in the art Of consolidation, n
lives In a higher" or at least a diff
ferent, sphere.
Could Mr. tMunsey get down to com
mon earth he might realize that thes'
are bad times for the formation o.
holding companies either in business
or in politics. The United States courts
do not look with friendly eye on com
binations in restraint Of natural com

combine and control eelct to stay apar

A stunt For Burbank.

We're told that Burbank has plum
that grows and ripens on a stalk.
They say he has a massive oak that
blossoms like hollyhock.
Out In his garden there are Duchess
apples growing on vine:
He has s:::..ss~eed that daily gives
quart of turpentine.
He plants potatoes In the ground, and
when he digs them with spade
He runs them thru cider press ana
gets wine of the highest grade.
He makes peach orchards grow where
he sets out row OF wooden
stakes.
And from the spineless cactus he a new
kind Of alfalfa makes;
His ice plants grow refrigerator cars
and lovely skating Kinks:
His palm trees all bear oranges. and
blossom like carna'ion pinks.
By grating prunes and pumpkin pies
he raises -shortcake. so they say;
He crosses lightning bugs and grows
electric light plants in that way.
There seems to be no doubt but that ne
is the wonder OF the age.
And in the annals Of the world the
things he's done deserve page
He's led a mighty useful life: he's given
us good things to eat.
And there is only one thing he should
DO 10 make his life complete.

JUGGLING THE SUPREME COURT.

members. The measure, innocent ap-

is openly charged that the bill con-

Of President Wilson and the progress

public avowel that he intends to Sc

words he desires to shape the court.

ment that he 70 going to bring besofe
the general assembly MEASURES havine
for their purpose the conservation OF
the natural beauty OF the state ana
the encouragement Of enterprises that
will add to the aesthetic beauty OF
Iowa is being widely quoted with fav-
orable comment. Here is the way the
Ottumwa Courier speaks OF the Wat
erloo man and his idea:
Representative H. o. Bernbrock,
new member Of the legislature from
Blackhawk county. Of which Water
loo is the county seat. thinks that the
legislature should do something to
help Iowa to live up to its name. Iowa
we are told, is Indian for beautiful
land" Mr.. Bedrock wants the state
to aid in restoring some of the natur-
al beauties OF forest and tree that
he sees neglected in this practical
age.
1T is my intention to introduce bills
tending to the aesthetic development
of the state" said Mr.. Bernbrock in
an interview in a Des Moines paper.
This will be in the form of bill or
bills making 1t compulsory to plant
",
the cities and towns Of the state. be-
lieve that these trees should be uni
form in kind, at least uniform thruout
the length Of any given street or thru
all the streets of any city or town.
am in favor Of the employment Of state
foresters, greater scope and power to
park commissioners and civic bodies in
order that there may be cooperation
in the improvement OF the state"
Mr.. Bernhrock does we'll to call at
tention to this subject, whether 1t
should be found matter for legisla :
tive action or not. In Ottumwa. for
instance, there has been more or less
OF an epidemic of tree cutting. We
should now give some attention to tree
planting. and we shouldn't wait for
legislative enactment before seeing our

ment.
Essentially all speculative commod-
ity buying IL based on the guess that
there will not be enough Of the com :
modify available 1t the time named
for delivery to permit delivery at the
price flxed. It could happen that
half dozen spectators, acting indc-
pendently Of one another. might be
convinced that May wheat was =
good buy" and without any collabo-
ratio: might overbuy the market. In
that case q corner would have been
established unwittingly. without any
actual conspiracy in restraint OF
trade. Individually the spectators
would feel morally entitled to their
profits-as much so as in any case OF
speculative buying for rise.
Placing a legal ban upon corners
will not eliminate all the undesirable
features Of future trading. The prin-
ciple back Of the corner will continue
to be utilized by spectators who think
they can see profit in manipulating
the market. A corner by "gentlemen's
agreement may be essayed now and
then. But the coarse corner as 1t has
been known in the past will not re-
APPEAR. Indeed. it had been pretty we'll
done away with before the courts in
tervend. None OF the recent specu-
lative campaigns on the Chicago
board of trade has had the old pyro-
technical finish. And the board Of
trade itself has been wet blanketing
the corner apparently because Of real
ization that It, was bringing the whole
cause Of future buying into disrepute.
So long as trading on margins Is Al
lowed to continue, however. there
will be specufatfons which the men
who are on the losing side will choose
to regard as corners. And it is safe tG
say that the courts Will be kept busy
trying TO decide whether the enhanc-
ment of prices involved in such trans
actions is reasonable or unreasonable
