his angelic wings were badly

he had been beneficiary Of an il

Noticed by the humbug that Dep

The honorable majority of the
state prison board refused Axel
p. Ramstedt access to the books
when he was appointed by Gov
ernor Alexander to make an ex-
animation Of the books of the
Penitentiary because, in their
opinion, he was incompetent"
Fortunately, however, our ac-
with Mr.. Ramstedts
competency" is not confined to
the declaration of the state pris-
on board. When he appointed
the tax commission provided for
by the last legislature, Governor
Haines considered Mr.. Ramstedt
competent enough to fill so i'm
pOrtant a position as a member Of
that board, and when it became
necessary to choose a temporary
successor to defaulting State
Treasurer Allen Mr. Ramstedt was
again considered sufficiently COM
petent to act. Again, when Gov
ernOr Haines deemed it wise to
respond to the public demand for
a complete report on conditions
in that office, Mr.. Ramstedt was
selected as a man fulfilling all
the demands of competency and
honesty. In fact, there appears
to have been no suspicion of
Ramstedts competency until he
made a report on conditions in
the state treasurer's Office, and
from that report he was son in
competent" as not to overlook the
certain records which contained
the name of Attorney General
Peterson among others. OF
course, a competent man would
not have believed the record and
hence would have disregarded it..
Indeed, perhaps if a thoroughly
competent" man had been en-
ployed it would have been found
that State Treasurer Allen and
Deputy Coleman's accounts were
all right.

our NEED FOR ECONOMY


The railroads have taken the
lead in the safety first" sugges-
ton, and much good should come
from it.. Our great fault is that
we forget things of all kinds that
are good for us and which we
mean at the time to remember.
A safety first" campaign gener-
ally requires money. We grow
tired of this as we'll as Of the
precautions and it is not long un-
til we return to the old way. At
the same time we are prone to
do things on a large scale We
easily grow tired Of the old ir-
respective of whether it serves its
purpose or not. We do not rev.
erence tn past, are not welded to
what has endured long, but wish
an ending of it for its own sake
and the substitution Of something
new. A result Of this is a gen.
eral extravaganza of life that but
for our Astounding resources, re-
inforced by immigration, would
bring us to the pinch.
Former Senator Aldrich said
he could manage the national
government affairs on S3OO,OOO.-
600 a year less than they now
cost. We have paid in civil war
pensions alone $4,457, 977, 1876,
which is nearly half billion dol
lars more than the war itself
cost. Last year we touched the
high water mark, Si74,i7i,66O.
These things are mentioned
merely to show that we have pro-
ceeded in way generally that has
not counted the cost in any di-
rection. Testimony before the
western arbitration board hear
ing the demands of railroad en-
gineers for an increase of wages
was to the effect that the roads
had spent in terminals and other
beterments 50, 500, 100000, which
was sunk in the properties on the
belief that new business would
call for such facilities. This
the new traffic has failed TO do.
We believe that any careful sur
vey of life from municipal to
state and national affairs will
show, not merely in public con-
duct but in private expenditure
this same headlOng extravaganza
We take no thought of the NOR
row in our living, but go ahead
as if we had an inexhaustible
fund from which to draw. And
yet for a long time now we have
felt the pinch of the high cost or
living, and we wonder what is
the cause for it. It does not
come so greatly from an unnat-
eral increase in prices as from a
shortness of supply, which we
have squandered in things like
some of those that we have men,
toned. Surely the lesson for
this country is economy. We
need to learn it not merely in our
personal expenditures, but in
schemes for taxation. We need
to reduce our ideas of having
great projects executed at once,
issuing bonds to be paid in the
future, and rocking nothing of
the day of settlement.
We maken appropriations, levy
taxes and trust to the future.
Then we find the pinch touching
us on all sides and wonder what
causes it. We undertake new
parks, public improvements and
railroad extensions and so on
from small to great, and trust to
n happy go-lucky result in max
ing both ends meet. If we ever
expect to get ahead we have sure
ly got to count the cost and know
in the beginning what we shall
have to spend in the end.

though there was no renewal of the
Villa attack on Matamoras opposite
here, reports We're received today OF
additional CarranZa troops coming
from Camargo, 80 miles west of Mat
amoras. This report if true would
mean that the Villa troops before
Matamoras would have an enemy
force to reckon with from the West
as we'll as the present force to the
South and the Matamoras garrison.
Carranza forces said TO number
from 1900 to 1900 under Gen. Castro
recently We're reported to have head
ed toward Neuvo Laredo. Mexico when
Gen. lldefonso FasQueZ retreated to

the Carranza troops reported Camargo
are said to be those Of Castro.
With the arrival of Castro's forces
the Carrarza troops in this section
would amount to about 5000. The
Matamoras garrison, now estimated at
1900, would be increased to 2500 by
the troops announced as disemSarked
today at the mouth Of the Rio Grande.
The Villa forces in this vicinity are
said to be about 5000.

HAVANA FIGHT
MAD over The
COMING BOUT

Havana, March 29.-Jack Johnson and
Jess Willard continued today their train
in groutine in order TO fit themselves
for the heavyweight championship fight
in which they are TO engage one week
hence Both men worked hard, in their
training quarters before large crowds
and also on the Cuban roads.
Willard went through all his forms of
indoor exercises hits afternoon and in
addition took on his sparing partners in
turn for l. fast rounds. The big white
man went after Charley Henphin so
savagely that Hemphill was dazed by
ore of his blows. and Willard was
forced to slow down somewhat.
Wizards left to the head and body
We're his best blows today. He says he
is afraid 20 use his right hand against
his sparing partners. Ring followers
consider that one of the worst faults of
Willard is that he leaves his body I'M
protected most of the time. He also
fights with his mouth open.
This morning Willard went over the
road Jogging and sprinting for five miles.
He does not expect to do any work to-
morrow He will make his final squirt
Wednesday and then will gradually let
down in his training. He says he ex-
poets to enter the ring at 233 pounds, six
of which he still has to take off. john
son did six miles on the road this morn
ing, running ard walking. This after
noon in the stadium he punched the bag,
threw the medicine ball and then Went
eight fast rounds with both Armstrong.
Colin Bell and another sparring partner.
Despite his hard work. Johnson showed
no signs of exhaustion.
The big black undoubtedly is heavy
and seemingly slower than he was at
Reno five years ago. but he is satisfied
with his condition. He gives his weight
as 227 pounds and says he expected to
dry OUT an additional five or seven
pounds.
Tom Flanagan of Toronto, who man
AIRED johnson when the negro won the
heavyweight championship from Jim
Jeffries at Reno. arrived in Havana to-
day. He SAYS johnson does not look
quite as good as he did then, but that
he is surprised at his good condition
after the lapse of We years. Johnson
will be IS years old Thursday.
Havana is fight mad. Nothing else
but pugilism is being discussed in clubs,
hotels and homes by both men and
women of the city.
The American pugilists here are treat
ed as popular heroes, and all the bouts
that are held are being we'll attended.
The only thing that the Cuban fails to
grasp in the fight game is the clinching.
The Governor Of the Province of Ha-
vana has declared April 5. the day Of
the fight, holiday after 10 o'clock in
the morning. The promoters Of the fight
are endeavoring to have Congress de-
clare the day national holiday.

lieutenant, Won Schierstaedt, by the
