After a long struggle the Boston &
Maine road is to go into the hands of
a receiver, there being notes for 3d.
100000 due on the thirty first day of
August. This shows that the opera
ton of railroads is not wholly money
making. OF course it is not possible
to tell what will happen but we shall
be surprised if all the, expensive
leases are in existence when the re-
organization is completed.

an interesting argument occurred
which attracted the attention Of many
passersby who stopped to see the ex-

Amount Paid Members Through State

The cost of the special session of
legislature was $4,984, according to
payments made for mileage and de-
bentures of officers, members and
employees paid through the Office of
the state treasury. There were IA
absentees who will receive no pay.
Stenographers of the clerks paid by
orders from the auditors office under
the law will receive around $40, so
that the cost of the session of two

At the time the national conven-
tons were held the democrats were
crying that the republicans were re-
sponsible for the unpreparedness OF
the country since they had been in
power for many years before the dem
ocrats took charge of the govern
ment. Now that Sec. Daniels is de-
termined to have some war vessels
contracted for before election it is
learned that the government navy
yards can do nothing on the ships au-
thorized in the naval bill as they are
far behind on the vessels authorized
in previous years. At the New York
navy yard the superdreadnought New
Mexico, authorized years ago is not
finished and work has not been COM
menced on the superdreadnought
Tennessee previously authorized.
The same condition exists in other
government navy yards and now the
department is forced to make private
contracts at whatever figure the pri-
waite owners choose to make. The
democrats have been dallying along
and now are forced to squander the
public's money if they accomplish
anything in the construction of ships.

Pres. Wilson has failed to enforce
his demands against the managers of
the United States railroads and it
looks like a fight between the rail-
road workers and the managers. The
president threw away his opportunity
to assume the proper place for the
government in this great dispute.
He should have said to both sides
that they must arbitrate the questions
in dispute and the government would
insist on the operation of the rail-
roads throughout the arbitration. 1t
is not the duty of the government to
order either side to accept conditions
and the president made the same mis-
take in the railroad fight that he did
in the Mexican disturbance. In this
case the president should have said
that industrial disputes are not to be
settled by politicians but must be
submitted to a fair tribunal and the
government would insist that the rul-
ings of the tribunal be obeyed.

ers to his petition as candidates for
other county offices. That is simple
justice and will strengthen the law.

KING SOLOMON" IS
DEAD AT RIPE AGE
Leader of OnCc-EamOus Religious
Sect, Dies in Obscurity,
Aged 50.

LONDON. Feb. 25.-Iames William
Wood a Sclf-Styled King Solomon
who, "A quarter of century ago,
headed the religious sect known as
THE Army of the Lord" died Feb
ruary II. at the age of 50 years. Dur
ing the early eighties Wood was a
reNiValist in Australia, associated
with prophet Dowie in the trustee
ship of a Baptist chapel but later he
came to England and engaged in faith
healing. Being of striking figure of
patriarchial appearance, with leonine
face and white beard, he deeply i'm
pressed those with whom he came in
contact. even people of wealth and
position. He acquired building at
Brighton. which he called THE
Sanctuary of Jehovah" and presiding
there as King Solomon" he es-
tablished his sect. "Tho Army of the
Lord"
Many enthusiasts sold all their
possessions in order to go to live
within the circle of his influence.
Wood donued robes of purple and
gold and sat on "A throne while his
followers. men, women and children,
danced before him in a central space
until they fell exhausted at his feet.
This and other sorts of emotional eX-
travagances. however. became SO re
pulsiVc to outsiders that riots oc-
Cured and Wood and his sect were
finally forced into obscurty
