THUKSDAY. JAN. 27, 1910.
We do not anticipate that Charles
W. Morse will cut much ice at Atlanta.
Pinchot is tho latest of the Roosevelt
policies which Ta(t carried out and
threw 011 the ash heap.
Four more sugar trust tools liav'o

How can tho steel trust afford to pay
higher wages to its employes when its
directors have to pay $100 a cover for

Tho Northampton County Pa., Agri
cultural society views with alarm tho
destruction of American forests and
has passed resolutions advocating n
government subsidy for the preserva
tion of tho forests. If the Northamp
ton Agricultural society had been on
the pay roll of tho lumber trust it could
not have incubated an idea that would
moot with greater favor from tho lum
ber barons. Subsidies to encourage
timber growth would simply afford
them new means of filling their pockets.
They would secure tho lion's shuro of
the subsidies and would continue to
monopolize the sources of tho timber
supply, Strangely, it never occurred
to the Northampton Agricultural so
ciety to attack the forest destruction
evil at its very heart. Had it done so
it would have advocated the immediate
repeal of all tariff duties on lumber.
Free trade in lumber would kill off the
lumber trust, conserve tho country's
remaining forests and lighten the peo
ple's burdens, all at one blow. But it
wouldn't be popular with the lumber
trust.
Intelligence ought not to be a dis
barment from jury service in the opin
ion of Judgo Shelton, of Missouri. In
a murder case recently tried before
him, the state's attorney severely ques
tioned talesmen about having read
newspaper accounts of the crime, with
the customary purpose of disqualifying
them. Judge Sheituu put au eud to
this proceeding by saying: "What's
tho difference if they have read tho
newspapers? They'll make all the bet
ter jurymen. To say a man ought not
ito serve because ho has read the news
paper accounts is sayiug, in effect,
rthat a jury of intelligence is objected
to. That is not justice; neither is it
the law." This judicial opinion is not
only refreshing, but it is an evidence
of sound common sense on the part of
the judge who gave voice to it. Men
with so little intelligence or interest in
the affairs of the world as to fail to
Tead the newspapers and thus keep
abreast of the times ought to be dis
qualified from jury service rather than
sought for as the arbiters of a fellow
man's life or liberty.
The outcome of the suit, in New
York state, of Mrs. Frank Wilcox
against the supreme council of the
Royal Arcanum is a matter of interest
not only to members of that -order but
to all persons interested in beneficiary
organizations the country over. The
husband of the plaintiff was a member
ot the Royal Arcanum aud was ex
pelled by the supreme council because
he had severely criticised the supreme
officers of the organization for their
official actions. He instituted proceed
ings for reinstatement hut died before
the termination of the action. The
suit was contiuued by the widow, and,
after a three years' fight in the courts,
JuBtice Andrews directed a verjlict in
her favor for the full amount of the in
Burauce carried on the life of her hus
band in the Royal Arcanum, with inter
est. We do not scAj how an equitable
verdict could be otherwise. It would
indeed be an alarming coudition if
officers of beneficiary organizations
should have the uurestraiued power to
expell members who ctiticised them.
Such power would place iu their hands
a club to enforce auy action they might
see fit to take, no matter how wrong
or uujust. All honor to the brave
woman who stood up for her rights and
won them'.

Our Lincoln Letter
Lincoln, Nebr., Jan. 25 (Special
Correspondence.) Home rule has al
ways been a cardinal principle of the
democratic party. The principal is as
old as the party itself, for Jefferson in
cluded it among tho fundamentals.
The Nebraska democracy reiterated its
belief in the home rule principle in its
1907 platform, declaring for local self
government in Omaha and South Oma
ha, the election of local assessors and
placing a check on the arbitrary power
of the state board of equalization.
For years tho republican legislatures
busied themselves to enact laws em
powering republican governors to ap
point fire and police boards of the two
Omahas. Tho purpose was plairf to
give tho republican party, through the
governor, tho right to control for parti
san purposes the fire and police com
missions of two cities that are normal
ly democratic. Tho republican city of
Lincoln was always permitted to elect
its own fire and police board. This
was special legislation in its worst form
undemocratic, and in violation of tho
first principles of our government.
Tho democratic legislature of iaon
did its full duty by the two Omahas.
It gave to those cities the rights en
joyed by other cities in the state,
namely, to elect their own boards of
fire and police commissioners. The
party was pledged to this, and the
party redeemed the plcdgo in letter and
in spirit. Certain selfish interests
sought to invoke the doctrine of home
rule against all forms of regulatory
legislation. The liquor interests and
the railroad interests sought to invoke
tho home rule doctrine to prevent
needed regulatory laws. But the dem
ocratic principle of home rulo docs not
mean that the state has no right to
pass general laws. It simply means
that tho stato shall pass no laws vio
lating the principles of home rule, or
local self-government. In this the
democratic party stands on sblid
ground. It believes ' in treating all
cities in the state alike, It believes in
equal rights to all, special privileges to
none. It is opposed to sectional and
special legislation.
In another way tho democratic party
redeemed a platform pledge when it
passed the local assessor law. The
republican party had deprived the
people of the right to elect by enacting
a law that prohibited the voters from
voting for the men 'who actually assess
ed the property.
County Judge Berry informed The
Herald reporter the other day that
from April n, 1004. to Jan. 1, iqio
there have been 480 marriage licenses
issued in Alliance. Since Jan, 1, 1909
to Jan. 1, 1910 there were issued 107
licenses, and out of this number 41 of
the ceremonies had been performed by
himself.
Announcement
To the the voters of the Sixth con
gressional district;
Gentlemen; Since the announce
ment of my candidacy and the pub
lication of my platform, 1 have often
been asked for my position on temper
ance legislation. I therefore make the
following public announcement:
I favor prohibiting the issuance of
government liquor licenses in dry ter
ritory. No one can use such license
for lawful purposes, except druggists
holding permits.
1 favor such legislation as will re
move alt beverage liquor shipments
from the protection of Interstate Com
merce, and place them under jurisdic
tion of state laws at place of delivery.
While having decided opinions favor
able to county optiou, I realize that
legislation of that nature must come
from the state and not the national
congress. Respectfully,
G. L. Shumway,
Democratic and People's
Independent candidate for
nomination at tue 19 10
primaries.
