The Lincoln Highway.

While it is somewhat disappointing
that Washington is not on the main
line of the Lincoln highway that is to
cross the continent, there is some
consolation that the capital, the city
Of Lincoln's great work and the
scene of his death, is to be included
by means of a detour. 1t will not be
on the through route from New York
to San Francisco, but it will be pos
sible for tourists to. reach it without
leaving the memorial highway: Yes
terday a route was decided upon at
a meeting in this city, participated
in by members of the Lincoln high
way committees of Washington and
Baltimore. Naturally the objective
here will be the Lincoln memorial.
and thus users of the highway will
be enabled to pass through Wash
ineton on the road to Gettysburg and
in passing observe the national mon
ument to the martyred President.
With special signs along the way it
will be possible to use this detour
and realize that it is one of the
country's means of expressing its
grateful recollection of the American
who in the supreme hour served his
country wisely and successfully and
who gave his life to it.

Local Police Graft Indictments.

The indictments returned yester-
day by the grand jury indicate that
the police graft, so far as it is dis
closed, is of a petty character, and
it does not follow that because there
has been this small degree OF cor
ruption among the policemen there
must be more. 1t is rather to be as
sumed that the cases brought to light
are singular and are not character
istic
1t is amazing that men placed in
positions of responsibility should sell
themselves for trif1es to those who
are lawbreakers and are, therefore,
not to be trusted. Doubtless the ex-
amples set in other cities, where po-
licemen have grown rich Oft the
"pickings" from the vicious and GRIM
inal classes, are accountable for the
local graft. 1t is related that on a
recent occasion of large gathering in
Washington police detective from
one of the largest cities, sent here to
aid in watching the crooks who as
semble here and elsewhere at all
such times, expressed his surprise
that the beat of downtown police
man at the capital was not worth.
anything to the men in uniform.
Perhaps such sentiments, couched in
terms of contempt for the policeman
who respects the law. may have slim
ulated the collection of petty graft
from gamblers and others whose en-
terprises put them outside of the
pale of the law.
1t is to be expected that the pros
ecution of these cases will be prompt
and vigorous. The men are accused
of compromising felonies. Under the
code the bride taker is not guilty of
an offense, whereas the bride giver
may be punished. This is fault in
the code which the present cases
should cause to be corrected. In po-
lice graft the bribe taker is usually
the active agent. Possessing the
power of punishment through arrest,
he is in a position to exert pressure
upon the lawbreaker. He is not or
dinarily sought out by the latter
with money in hand: So long as the
gambler and dive keeper who may
be punished if caught can evade po-
lice attention he is reasonably safe.
1t is only when the police know of
his activity that price is put upon
official inactivity. and the policeman
usually sets the price and demands
it. if he starts in on a career of corr
ruption. Consequently the law should
aim at the bride taker, who is usually
in such instances the bride seeker.

Accept the result, and support the
man they have been describing as
the liquor candidate? Or will they
go fishing on election days Or will
they support the straightout prohi-
bition ticket, which is already in the
field? If any large number of them
should either sulk or bolt the dem
ocratic candidate might lose the
race. While normally democratic,
Kentucky in the past twenty years
has several times gone republican as
the result of bitter democratic fac
tionism.
In 1896 Mr.. Watterson himself
showed the way. Boiling the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Bryan because OF the
silver question, he gave his support
to the ticket OF Palmer and Buckner,
and thereby assisted in the throwing
of twelve out of the thirteen electoral
votes OF Kentucky to Mckinley and
Hobart. But after that he stripped
off his feathers and washed off his
war paint. and has since been good
Indian, with his post Office address on
the reservation.
1t was a bold move on the part
OF the prohibitionists to invade a
state where the distilling and the
brewing interests are so large. The
first clash has gone against them.
Will they pick their flints and try
again? Have they just begun to
fipht?

of diplomacy the matter may be
postponed once more as it has been
several times during the past few

are in Germany's interest, while it
is important to the allies that the

Election Cases at Indianapolis.

At Indianapolis yesterday the mo-
ton to quash the indictment against
Thomas Taggart. Mayor Bell and
others charged with election irregu-
larities was overruled. Mayor Bell
will be the first of the accused men
to be put on trial.
Last week the Marion county court
Indianapolis is the county seat OF
Marion - made special appropria-
ton of $4,000 to cover the expenses
of these trials-a sum not large when
the Importance of the matter is con-
sidered. Indianapolis is the capital
of Indiana, and the men under
charges are among its mos proml-
nent citizens. One OF them - Mr..
Taggart - enjoys a national reputa-
ton by reason of national activities.
He was at one time chairman of the
democratic national committee, and
has more than once been mentioned
in connection with seat in the
United States Senate.
The state has yet to establish its
case against these men. and until
that is done they are entitled to
suspension of judgment on the part
of the public.
What the indictment conveys is
purpose on the part of the author
tiles to go to the bottom, or rather
to the top. of charges of this char
acter. The line taken shows an
aroused sentiment in the state on
subject of the highest Importance to
the people Unless the polls are kept
pure everything is vitiated.
The Hoosier ball was set rolling at
Terre Haute last spring. Men of
prominence there-one of them with
gubernatorial aspirations ~ were in
dicted. tried and convicted of Of
fenses against the suffrage. The dis
closures in court were amazing for
the system of the corruptions that
had been employed. Nothing worse
has ever been practiced in any of the
large cities OF the country, where
machine rule has for years prevailed
and where the fruits of it have long
been a national scandal.
The success of the prosecutions at
Terre Haute probably affected the
Investigations at Indianapolis-made
them the more thorough - and if
there are convictions at Indianapolis
Investigations elsewhere in the state
may follow. Charges of frauds else
where have been publicly made.
1t is good time to clean house;
and the necessity is by no means
confined to Indiana. In some other
states recent revelations have shown
that the ballot box is but little re-
spected. and that capable politicians,
when they get their hands in, cut
high and INSCRIPTIONS capers with
it at the public expense.

Prohibition Beaten in Kentucky

Last week the democrats OF Ken
lucky made their nomination for
governor They placed the party
standard in the hands OF A. o. Stan
ley. who retired from the House in
March. The campaign was waged on
the liquor question. Mr.. Stanley de-
claring for the county unit law now
on the books, as against statewide
prohibition. advocated by Senator
elect Beckham and other prominent
democrats. Although four years ago
he was against the county unit prop
osition. Mr.. Stanley now pledges
himself that ii elected governor he
will see to a strict enforcement of
the statute. He led his foremost op-
ponent for the nomination by FORTY
thousand votes.
In few weeks the democrats will
complete their preparations for the
campaign against the republicans by
holding state convention and adopt
ing a platform. 1t stands to reason
that the liquor plank will be in &C
cord with the gubernatorial candi-
dates views. Any other expression
would queer" his attitude before the
voters
The most notable thing. however,
in connection with the primary was
the polling OF sixty thousand votes
for the democratic candidate who
ran as the advocate OF state wide pro-
hibition. This in the state where
Henry Watterson has asserted that
no democrat can be a prohibitionist
is worthy of much attention. Evil

jected his eounsels on this very i'm

AUSTRIAN TRAITOR

DR. Josef Goricar, Ex-Austrian Consul
Accused of Plotting With
Country's Enemies
BY United Press.

WASHINGTON, ID. G.. Nov. l2.--It
was stated at the Austrian embassy
today that DIR. Josef Goricar, eX-Aus-
lrian consul at San Francisco, has
been accused Of plotting with Russian
and Serbian agents with the intention
oi discriminating disloyalty among
Austro-Hungarian emigrants. The
statement says that Goricar was on a
leave of absence when the war broke
cut. and he was temporarily attached
to the Hungarian consulate at
Berlin. subsequently il was learned
that he had plotted with Austria's 5
enemies and he later fed to Rome
where Lee resigned
He then came TO America to foment
trouble in the Slavic centres. and the
embassy had been informed for
months regarding Goricar's activity
hut had rcfrainrd from taking coun.
ter measures because they felt that
there would be many disgraceful dis
closures made in regard to former Of

Never was storm more welcome
than the one that visited Elko this
morning. Less than half an inch of
snow fell and in few hours il was
nearly gone, but il served TO clear the
atmosphere. There has been an epi.
demic OF colds and la grippe in this
vicinity probably due to the fact that
we have not had a storm in months
and the dust was fairly alive with
germs.
We heard a remark few days
since to the effect that Elko had TWEEN.
ty-tivc hundred Inhabitants and there
were only one Hundred free from

help TO reverse the figures.

THINGS AS THE ARE
OR OUGHT TO BE

Mrs. John 4. Macy, who is respon.
sible for bringing Helen Keller out
of darkness, says the public schools
do not educate. She declares that our
system spOils the fine enthusiasm
OF the child by feeding him on facts.
II denies him the faculty of exercis.
ing his inborn creative faculties and
gives no encouragement to assimila.
tion. reflection, observation. Mrs.
Macy has an experience of twenty
eight years of teaching back of her
and the miracle accomplished for the
girl who was both blind and deaf
will give her words undue weight.
Bless her heart she is telling us
nothing new. We all know. teachers
as well as others, what our school
faults are. The great problem Is how
TO remedy them. We all know that
we treat children In the schools as If
they were of equal calibre and we
pour out our pitchers OF learning on
them, expecting them to be uniformly
intelligent. attentive and receptive. At
the end of the month we give them
bad marks for their inequalities.
That isn't all Instead of letting
him develop along lines which inter.
est him, we insist upon dosing the
child with figures, sentences. spelling,
etc. and we make them all take the
dose at the same time.
Mrs. Macy SAYS that in teaching
Helen Keller she had always allowed
her TO follow heI own impulses,
changing to now line of instruction
as coon ~ the blind girls interest in
any certain subject tagged.
But suppose Mrs. Macy had been
teaching forty or fifty Helen Kellers.
or even let us say thirty or thirty.
five, what would she have done about
It? That is the crux of the whole
matter. If our people could afford
to tax themselves enough 10 pay for
n teacher for every two or three pu-
pills we should not need any public
schools. Each family could have
private toutor. Surely, the ideal way
