HAD LICENSE TO KILL
PRIMITIVE FORM OF JUSTICE m
THE AUSTRALIAN BUSH.
Survivor Of Murdered Family Wsa
Actually Allowed to clay at VIII
Any Black Man He Hap
pened to Meet.

Near by this town, long ago, a saw.
age tribe had murdered. q family Of
settlers in the night, save one lad,
who escaped death by OPPORTUNITY
tumbling to the floor between the
bed and the wall, himself wounded,
unconscious, and left for dead. What
the provocation was nobody knows. It
is probable that there was no specific
p~rovocation. 1t had doubtless been a
wanton thing-a childish mischief
undertaken upon savage impulse and
accomplished for nothing more than
the momentary pleasure Of dealing
death to some living creature. This
was the inspiration Of many similar
deeds-neither vengeance nor spoil,
but the swift, bestial, wanton blood
lust, INDUCED, celebrated, laughed
over for the time, and forgotten; and
therein lies a sufficient explanation Of
the terrible character Of the retalia-
ton. Whatever the case, the boy,
having thus narrowly survived, made
his way to Brisbane, where he related
his story to the authorities, and to
such good purpose, as 1t turned out,
that he was given a rifle and free
leave to return to his district and
shoot as many black fellows as he
could manage, being heartily assured
that the law/would not modest him.
You see," said our fellow traveller,
h was regularly licensed"
"By the department Of game and
flsheries?" l scoffed.
"Ah, come now!" he replied. 81 am
not Joking. do not mean to say" he
went on, that the authorities gave
this boy ar engraved license, suitable
for framing, but I do assert that they
commissioned him to kill black fell
lows, and that his commission was
not altogether singular, but one Of n
good many. And he did kill black
fellows-hundreds of them, possibly.
He, killed them where he could find
them, running the bush or employed
on the stations, not even hesitating in
the presence Of their white masters.
And by and by the thing became a
nuisance. 1t was awkward for the
station-owners to have their black
boys disposed of in this way. There
we're complaints. I recall that one
s~tation-owner had his best black serv-
ant shot from the saddle on the road.
He was very angry; but the boy -four
ished his commission and the station
owner could do nothing about it,

The Old "Churchwarden.n

has anyone else smoked the yard of

nowadays, sir. l see English gentle.

Milo's, Burns Guilty pipes, narghiles,

ter pipes, straw pipes, and a host of
other inventions for emitting the
fumes of tobacco.
But where, sir, is the old original
alderman pipe, the churchwarden's
pipe, the unadulterated yard of
clay" A man vas wont to moisten the
stem carefully with beer ere he put it
to his lips; when once 1t was alight It
Kept alight; a man could sit behind
that pipe; but can a man sit behind the
ridiculous Pigments they call pipes

A FIsHY FLAVOR

DOeS ANYBODY In wall StreeC ION
estly believe that the United States
government has driven the United
States Express company out of
business?
The Hartman estate is also the
dominating financial power in the
Wells Fargo Express Company.
The United States Express COM
pany is going into liquidation on
the pretext that the new rates fixed
by the interstate Commerce COM
mission, following the competition
of the parcel post, makes it impos-
sible for the company to carry on
its business.
The Wells Fargo Express COM
pany, however, is still doing bust
less at the old stand, regardless of
reduced rates, or parcel post COM
petition or the exacti ms of state
authority.
1t happens that the Wells Fargo
company has been a much more
profitable concern than the United
States Express complny. It's capital
stock is $24, OOO, 900 watered up
from $4,000, 900. Since 1895 it has
paid as high as 10 per cent div
idends exclusive of a 200 per cent
stock dividend.
The United States Express COM
pany has capital of only $4,000
600. Its dividends have rarely ex-
ceeded 6 per cent and have been
as low ss ! per cent even in per-
iods Of general prosperity.
The stock Of the Wells Fargo
company raj from Ssh to l23 in
1913 while the stock Of the United
States Express company f1uctuated
between 3S and &C..
The Wells Fargo company con-
trolls nearly three times as much
railroad mileage as the United
States Express company, and it is
plain enough that if the United
States Express company we're liq-
Undated there would be more bust
ness for the prosperous Well Fargo
company.
Besides, n express company is
enough for one estate 20 control.
Why compete?
In calling attention to these
facts The World has no desire to
slash the pathetic picture that has
heen painted Of an historic corpor-
alton in the process of being lhrot-
tied by a remorseless government.
But, unfortunately, the reasons Civ
en- by the officers of the United
States Express com oany for the
proposed liquidation do not square
with truth and Common sense.
If the rates prescribed by the
Interstate Commerce commission
are confiscatory the federal courts
will suspend them. The courts
have suspended unreasonable rates
in hundreds Of cases. But instead
of appealing to the c1urts, the
United States Express company
prefers to go out of business. Such
action 10 legitimate enough. The
company has not been highly pros,
porous since its partnership with
the United States government, in
the person Of Thomas c. Platt, was
dissolved. 1t has property and corr
tracts that probably exceed the
value of its stock and the stock
holder will gain rather than loose
by the liquidation. But when this
liquidation is twisted into an at
tack upon government regulation
of rates the American people should
not allow themselves to be fooled.
The World would protest as en-
phatically as anybody against Ia
government policy that drove the
express companies out Of business.
