Another Fugitive.

perfectly we'll known, portraits of him
are available. and full descriptions of
him have been spread broadcast, but up
to this hour nd word has come regarding
him and no clue is had as to his where
abouts or actions since,the shooting. The
case is different. from that of the killing
of Saloonkeeper Reed near the Union
station plaza several years ago. whose
slayer was never brought to justice. for
in that case the identity of the murderer
WAS not known. 1t differs also from the
case of the killing of Tobacconist Mickle
on 9Th street. for although suspicion was
strongly centered upon man subse-
auently sentenced and convicted of an
other crime, no assurance has ever been
felt that. he was the one who took
M1ckle's life This crime is comparable
with that of Frank Funk. who killed an
aged man and desperately wounded a
woman in this city years fago and who
escaped and was at liberty for months
before his final capture and return to
this city for trial, conviction and exc
cution. 1t is also like the case of Dorsey
FoultZ, SO often mentioned as an instance
Of complete disappearance OF a criminal
There Is this striking difference, how
ever, between the Funk and Foultz cases.
that Foultz has never been caught. There
IS still another crime mystery to be men-
toned in this instance, and that is the
killing Of Shoemaker Hall. whose slayer
was never traced and SO far as known

murder OF Mrs. Dennis for which no one
WAS ever brought TO book. although many
believed that the crime was committed
by man who afterward took his own
life. The case also recalls the killing of

Clothes and the Man.

Old Jabez Jones he led a life
All free from any kind of strife
Until his uncle passed away.
His uncle's will went on to say
That Jabez got. 'mongst this and that,
A frock coat and high silk hat.
You've heard that clothes don't make tn
man,
But now and then you'll find they can.
When Jabez put 'em on one day
We said he looked like Henry Clay;
And then he struck d solemn pose
And talked impressive, through his nose
In politics he made d start
Because he kind O. looked the part
And that is how he left the farm.
We didn't mean him any harm.
His family is all in tears.
His picture as 1t now appears
Is low proved, with nasty squint.
The scandals are not fit to print
That are sent out in stealthy tones
Concerning dear old Jabez Jones.
And everybody wishes that
He'd never got that coat and hat.

Bankers and Politicians.

The bankers who met in Chicago last
week and discussed currency reform ap-
pointed committee to visit Washington
and lay the views of the meeting before
the Senate committee in charge of the
subject. Next Tuesday is the day ap-
pointed for hearing the visitors. They
are men OF distinction in the banking
world. and what they offer will be worth
attention.
An impression is gaining ground that
The great financial authorities of the coun-
try have been unwisely ignored in all this
business: that the politicians have had
things too much to themselves; that the
chickering's in committee and in caucus
have grown out of confusion consequent
upon a debate too much conducted by
those unfamiliar with matters.
Better late than never. AS representa-
tive bankers are at last to be heard. the
Senate. where the battle is to be fought
should profit by suggestions from a source
thoroughly competent to make them.
Study and training count in every de-
partment of activity. public and private.
In diplomatic questions, diplomats are
consulted: i'm war questions. soldiers and
sailors. and in legal questions, lawyers of
education and practice. Why, then.
should not bankers be consulted about the
matter now in hand" Who better quail
fed. if SO we'll. to discuss it on practical
and workable lines?
As the question stands today the poll
ticians declare against banking control,
and the bankers against political control.

clans fear seifishness on the part of the

The Heterogeneous Empire.
rom the Cleveland Plain Dealer

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
An immense heterogeneous empire
composed in part of dominions which are
practically self-governing. presents many
difficult problems and not few anoma-
lies The statesmen of the British gov
eminent cannot be expected to cope with
all the paradoxes that are brought to
their attention Where there Is no rem
edy to be offered they must merely be
blind and deaf and dumb. A slaring
instance of the inability of the British
empire to assure British subjects just
and equitable treatment throughout the
British domain is seen in Canada's laws
of discrimination against the people or
India. AS soon as ii became apparent
that Hindus in increasing numbers
would come to settle in Canada laws
were' passed to prohibit their ever attain
ing citizenship. and finally to prevent
any more coming Circumlocutory meas
ures worthy Of the authors of the
grandfather anti-negro laws in some of
the southern states. were enacted to ex-
clude all natives of India from admission
to the Dominion. They are stricter than
the American laws against Chinese immi
grafton, SO strict, in fact, that natives of
India are placed in a specially devised
class by themselves and are more rig1dly

From the London Chronicle.

Italy has followed France in the de-
cision to participate in the San Francisco
Panama exhibition. If these countries
think it to their advantage to do SO, then
surely there is but small reason from
the commercial standpoint for our not
taking part. As far as the diplomatic
side of the question is concerned nothing
has been advanced against the argument
that there should be a British section at
the exhibition if for no other reason than
TO emphasize and increase good will be-
tween the two countries, and to signify
additionally our friendship during the
year when the centenary of peace be-
tween the Notwithstanding races will be
celebrated. We have already referred to
the coming visit to London of Dr. Skiff
the director of the exhibition, and we
note that Mr.. Bryan has been in COM
munication with the British ambassador
to the United States. There is good rea-
son for hoping, therefore, that the de-
cision of the government will be re
versed. That would. it is clear. give
very great satisfaction indeed to the
American people, and there is solid rea-
son for believing that il is the desire Of
this country as whole that the British
flag should be seen at San Francisco.

The Work Of the Pistol.
From the Detroit Journal.


Within three days Waterman and a
policeman have been killed in the execu-
ton Of their duty by armed robbers.
What a record for supposedly law-ab,d-
ing city like Detroit, These murders
demonstrate that the law forbidding the
CARRYING of concealed weapons is not en-
forced. 1t can be enforced only by ar
resting as a vagrant every man who has
no visible means of livelihood and send
ing TO Jail those found carrying arms,
Ex-convicts especially ought to be watch
ed. 1t is well known that our peniten.
tiaries seldom reform the men committed
to their care When restored to liberty
many return to their old COMPANIONS and
ways Above all, however, We should
register the sale of firearms No man
should be allowed to purchase a firearm
without the permission of the prosecuting
attorney or the concealed weapons board
This would not prevent professional
criminals coming armed from other
states. 1t would prevent immature bows
from purchasing cheap pistols, the first
step i'm a life of crime.
