This was the report received at
the Rock Island depot here today.
The train was coming out Of Ford

"hoppers'' covered the rails. As the
engine wheels crushed the insects,
the rails became So slippery that the
drivers spun around and the train
stopped. The crew with shovels
finally scooped the hoppers of the
track and covered the rails with
sand. then the train could proceed.

THE CASH REetsTER TRusT.

The prosecution of the cash register trust and the conviction obtained shows the conditions under which the gigantic corporation was operating for the control of the business in its line. The officials were prosecuted under the criminal clause of the Sherman anti trust act and the sentences by Judge Hollister, which include both fines and the responsibility under which he was placed.
 The case was one of aggravated conditions, wherein. as the evidence in- dicated, the company officials had gone out of their way to circumyent the laws of business and the provisions of the federal act. The strangulation of the trade and activities of competitors was quickly disclosed to the minds of the jury. The case was quickly tried and an equally quick report returned by the jury The jail sentence came 3. surprise to the officials who ha ad evidently figured on paying a fine for the adjustment of the situation info which they had Intentionally gone This is only one of the many instances wherein the effectiveness of the Sher- man law has been proven in the pres ent administration. The policy of sre- quiring the law to be respected has been given an excellent start and trusts in all lines of trade have felt it's teeth. Action has characterized the administration in this regard and there are results to- show for it.

There was little prospect of it and the railroads yielded to the inevitable and the in terest of the public.
 The situation has developed the need sf an immediate revision of the Erd- nan act It is the provision that three nen shall constitute the arbitration board, which leaves the decision en- fire1y to the opinion of one neutral han The injustice of this was real zed by the firemen as well as the 'ailroads. but the firemen refused to ieviate therefrom and while 1t is as air for one as the other, yet pro- .edure which both recognize as being inferior calls for the improvement of he law go that the greatest efficiency ran be obtained and the weak spots removed.

A Long "Beat.r

There are probably few policemen in
 the United Kingdom who have a more extensive beat than Joseph Rees, who is stationed at Lingadock, in Carmar- thenshire, the main road between Liandilo and Llandovery. His district comprises the four parishes of Lang adock, .IIanddeusant, Llansadwrn. and LlanWrda with a total area of 45,S12
 acres. or more than T square miles. The constable has a system of pa trolling the district in different direc- tions on different days and nights, but q special case or inquiry may upset his plan, and therefore he has no reg ular hours. As matter of fact, Rees considers ten hours tramping a fairly short day.
 Although the population is only from 5000 to 4,000, ReeS has to watch the
 motorists, who are numerous, and the workmen who flock into the district in hundreds from the Amman valley on Sundays and holidays to breathe the fresh air. He has also to keep an eye on the game. Under the Welsh Sun day closing act he has to see that only genuine travellers are served at the public houses. Sunday, in fact, is his busiest day. The district, moreover, is l oyerrun with tramps Between July -15 i and Aug. 31 ReeS has to see that the sheep dipping is done, and as the 1 Welsh mountain sheep are as nimble l as hares and not much bigger than 1 greyhounds, there is often exciting work in tracking them down.
 When Rees arrests anyone he has i to guard the prisoner in his own house
 until he can convey hom to Jiando- 1 very, for there is no lookup at Llang- 1 adock-LOndon Daily Mail

 1T shall have to have these things charged. said He looked doubtful, but when 1 told him that l was Uncle Bob's niece and showed him my card Ehe consulted some one in the rear Of the store and came back smiling and f lowing

FOREIGN EMBASSY eulLofNes.

Persistent efforts have been made before congress in behalf of securing permanent embassies in foreign ceun- tries in keeping with these of ether nations and for the purpose of giving theIe the standing which the leading countries insist upon There has been but limited response to this orEan- ized endeavor and the situation which 1t was designed to overcnrne is now to the front in Paris, There the lega- tfon building is leased and the owner has now ordered out the ambassador that the building can be converted into a hotel. Such is the humiliating sit uation of this governments rePresen- tative in the capital of France. UnE1e Sam, a tenant in q landowners buiid- ing, Is turned out into the street to seek what shelter he can find.
 The situation in Paris is one which should give needed attention to this lack of providing for the legal tions and consulates in foreign countries. While congress has permitted limited out lays, and there are countries in which the United States owns it's own build ings yet the amount available for such purposes is too meager when censid- eration is given to legations in the biz capitals of Europe. Instead of being driben out at will the members of this ceuntry's diplomatic corps should be located in American buildings which would stand as representative of this country and it's. position among other nations

SHOULD WORK roeErHER.

With the announcement that Dis trict Attorney Whitman of New ' ork is annoyed by the action of the police authorities in his efforts to clean up the conditions which are existing not only in the city put in the police force Itself it is time that the farce was ended and those responsible for the conditions, operating against justice. should be held up to public scorn.
 When Police Commissioner Waldo gprofesses a desire to assist MT. Whit man in his work the New York Times well says: We do not wish to ques ton the sincerity of this desire on Mir. Wa1do's part, but we venture to sug- gest that the constant occurrence of these incidents shows, on the one hand that his feeling is not shared by his subordinates, and, on the other hand that he is apparently unable to control the conduct of these subordinates This is peculiarly unfortunate. be- cause from the start of Mr. Whitman $ campaign against corrupt and IawJess policemen, the police commissioner has failed publicly to take the right view of the morale of the police He has shown much more solieitade that the decent policemen shall not be nndes- estimated than that the force should be purged.'
 Mr. Waldos attitude Is not in ac- cord with his words. If he desires to aid he should manifest it by a xet-together spirit which has failed thus far to appear in any of his ac- lions. If there are two forces whicf should be working together in cleaning up vice and graft they are the districs attorney and the poAce commissioners
