The Abuse of Authority

It invariably happens that person
who is vested with authority immediate
ly proceeds to abuse it. r. H. Davidson,
who has been acting sheriff OF Ramsey
County, following the suspension OF the
popular Sheriff John Wagner because
of his alleged inattention to duty at
the recent street car strike in St. Paul,
is reported to have used the following
language: Eff there is any disturbance,
it will be the last time there is any in
this town. We mean business, and if
those fellows give us chance We'll
90 for them so they will never forget it..
There will be many family in mourn
ing tomorrow night, if anything happens
during the day. I know my men and
they know what they're on duty for.
Their orders are to shoot to kill Ii
Davidson did make these statements
he should be promptly removed, be-
cause man of such caliber has no right
to hold down so important a job as
sheriff where trouble is very likely to
break out at any time.

Packing House Patriots

y ssEt
BY their protest against the action Of
the food administrator in limiting their
profits to nine per cent, the packers of
this country are proving that their much
.vaunted patriotism is not pocketbook
deep. Their protest is rather strange
when one considers that only few
months ago they were offering their
plants to the government. Nine per
cent according to their present contention
is not enough, because, they say,
if their profits are limited, their
borrowing capacity will be curtailed
also. Mr.. Hoover must be given credit
for his answer to this contention, by
telling them that if the banks are not
willing to advance the necessary credit,
the government would take a hand in
the proposition itself and see to it that
the packers get all the credit that they
may require. 70 the average mind a
guaranteed profit of nine per cent in
any business looks very enticing indeed.
We know Of quite number of businesses
that would be only too glad to accept
a sure nine per cent and be relieved
Of the worry incident to any business.
The packers 60 one step further and
maintain that they need larger profit

The Inevitable Result

If you were dipping water out Of a
cask with a two-quart dipper, and pour
ing it in with a one-quart dipper, you
would get to the bottom with no less
certainty than if you had ladled out all
the time with one-quart dipper.
So says. John Beverly Robinson,
apropos Of the problem Of rising costs
which Business tries to meet by passing
the cost on to the consumer. Mr..
Robinson shows how ineffective the
remedy is, for the moment the consumer
has to pay more, that moment he begins
to buy less. When the clothing dealer
charges more for his commodity his
customers, if they do not cease to buy
of him, must cease to buy from some
one else, perhaps the shoe man, perhaps
the grocery man, and the shoe man and
the grocery man, in turn buy less from
the clothing man and "the last state
Of that man is worse than the first, . or
as Mr.. Beverly says so aptly in the
words quoted above, the rise in prices
does no one any good, least Of all the
dealer. Cutting wages has the same
effect exactly. III

this nation. With the poor constantly
growing poorer and the rich, richer,

.'Our Government is based on the
agreement, both tacit and implied, that
the minority shall always have the rights
Of free speech, of free press and OF free
agitation, in order to convert itself, if
possible, from minority into a majority.
AS soon as these rights Of the minority
are denied it will inevitably resort to
secret meetings, conspiracies and, finally
force. In times OF stress it may be
extremely embarrassing for the majority
to be hampered in quick, decisive action
by an obstinate minority; but, never
theless, the recognition Of the right Of the
minority is our sole bond Of unity. For
this reason I repeat that any attempt
to interfere with the rights of free speech
and free press is blow at the very found

ly obsucred for a period of 88.7 sec onds. It is during this brief period of less than minute and half that the astronomers will do their most im- portant work. Photographs will be taken of the corona and of the spec trum as we'll as the prominences of the sun. These prominences, it has been established, are projections of in candescent hydrogen extending mil lions of miles into space and which ap- pears as brilliant scarlet flame when the sun is obscured. The composition of the corona is a matter of conjecture among astronomers.
 The corona as we'll as the promi,. nences, Dean Howe explained, should be visible to the naked eye to persons within the 69-mile belt of totality and should be seen to advantage with the use of an ordinary field or opera glass.
 Although the eclipse will be total only in the narrow belt extending from Washington to Florida, partial eclipse will be visible throughout the country. The United States is virtu- ally the only place the total eclipse will be visible.
 Dean Howe is preparing to take telescopic photographs of the field around the sun especially to confirm or disprove the existence of a planet, called Vulcan, said to be travelling in an orbit so close to the great luminary that it is extremely difficult to see even during an eclipse.

BANK 0F ENGLAND'S
 ROMANTIC HISTORY
Organized in 1894 "Oll Lady in Threadneedle Street" Plays
 Rig Part in Present War.

] London, Nov 10.-Since the war the work of the Bank of England in
 connection with the British foreign
 loans has been simply gigantic, and a great deal of it is being carried out i by women clerks.
 1 When the Bank of England com l menccd business in 1894 with a staff of fifty-four clerks, all of whom
 worked in single room. and the di ! rectors with them, no one imagined that it would develop into the great national institution it is today.
 No other banking institution in the world has so romantic a history as that pertaining to the "Old Lady of Threadneedle Street" It's career. | extending over two centuries. has brought it in touch with a wealth of romance, relics of which may be found in that department of the bank with whichl the public is least fla miliar-namcly, it's museum.
 One of the bloody |episodes in the history of the bank is that embraced in the story of Charles Walter God- frey. onclof the early partners in the bank It appears that Godfrey while crossing the Channel in the midst of a terrific storm and laden with seVera! million dollal's in drafts for the aid of King William, who was at war with the French, insisted upon his right to deliver the war. rant fer the money into the hands of the king. then in the trenches before Namur under hot fire As he hand ed the document to the King. saving, in response to.

 Brown BesS.
 Not SC many years ago there stood over the massive fireplace in the directors room of the bank three rusty specimens of the old Brown Ress.' togther- with 8 number of rougly shaped bullets. In these relics was embodied a picture of the November night in 178O when the mob of Gordon rioters marched down from Newgate, setting fire to every Roman Catholic chapel on the way and advancing with a force of 5000 men upon the bank itself.
 The clerks, armed with muskets. were unprovided with shot Before them lay rows of leaden inkstands. suggesting the possibilities of a new use In less than half an hour the 'nkstands had been melted and turned into bullets. The muskets were loaded. At every window of the bank stood two marksmen, their

guns trained on the mob below. Yet the rioters came on until they were within ten yards of the bank gates Then sharp and clear above the frightful din rose the order to fire, and from the windows poured dead jy volley. When the smoke finally cleared away 250 lay dead or dying in 'he open space now covered by the esplanadc of the Royal Exchange The attacking army wavered, stop ped, broke line and fled, and the Gordon riots were at an end.
 One Penny Note.
 Tue banks museum, previously mentioned, contains a wealth of in- teresting curiosities. One of these IS note for penny, which was issued through the bank years ago as result of an error. The penny note went into circulation. and only by offering substantial reward was the bank able to get it bacl, again before it passed into the hands of the curio collector. Another curciosity is a note for $5.OGO OOO. which is the only one of that value ever printed. while there is also a note which was in circulation l50 years before it was presented.
 Specimens of all the forged bank notes which have been uttered from time to time by the unscruplous are kept: while note taken from the stomach of an enormous codfist caught off the coast of Greenland, IS another of the banks curiosities.

Christiania, Norway, No V 1. = Correspondence of The Associated Press-The Norwegian newspapers, comenting upon the Luxburg reve- lations, give, list, with full particu- lars In each case, of fifteen Nor wegian ships which have vanished without a trace. They supplement this with list of thirteen Norwe- gian ships which have been sunk since February 1 on the voyage from Argentine to Europe. There is also a idely-expressed suspicion that the seven vessels of the Norwe- gian sealing fleet, which disappeared some time ago with their crews of 90 men, were not lost from a natural cause.
 An official account of the massacre of the crew of the Norwegian vessel King Haakon," given by the three survivors, has just been. published here. The story of Olaf Thorbjorsen. the chief witness, is briefly as fol- lows:
 "The U-bcat opened fire without warning at thirty yards and swept the decks of the King Haakon clear Of men and boats. She then cruised around the ship at distance of ten yards and sank her by firing two shots into her amidship. where the national colors were painted on the side. The decks were converted into shambles, covered with dead and dying men, while a few escaped by throwing themselves overheard. Witness succeeded in keeping the captain and stewart, both mortally wounded, afloat on a raft, taking off his own lifebelt to support the thre corpses. Another survivor swan for twelve hours" Twenty men were lost from this ship.
