GKT A GRAFT.
Horace GroelyV familiar precept,
"Go wept, young man, go west,"
was no more fitting at the time
than l the adage of the present,
"Get a graft, young man, get a
graft." But the latter may lie ap
plied to young, middle-aged or old.
The remark is called forth prin
cipally on account of the growing
disposition of the American people
to ihoulder almost anything which
lavors of the shadowy order. Re
ligious, political, and commerical
grafu are the rule of the day.
Persons ensnared in the meshes of
any one of the numerous branches
of Yankee legerdemain are likely
to shudder when it is too late at
their lack of perception, but the
oatsider smiles, looks wise, and the
world passes on.
The recent news report to the
effect that John Alexander IWie
will undertake to buck the Wall
street financial monarch?, calls to
mind the fact that here is one man
who has worked to a successful fin
ish on of the most stupendous
grafu of modern history, Sol
alone has it been worked, but it is
still working, and the revenues are
continuing to pour into the coffers
of this self-appointed Elijah the
Second.
Dowie went to Chicago about
ten years ago and opened a lecture
room down in Englewood clofe to
the World Fair grounds. He was
penniless, but the Fates had favor
ed him with a stentorian voice
Bume personal magnetism, and a
superabundance of nnadulterated
brass, all three of which he worked
threadbare in his "struggle'-wifli
the imquitious world and his
scramble for the almighty dollar.
Just how successful he has been
in bis efforts to gain the shimmer
ing heights, may be gleaned from a
superficial inventory of his present
assets. He began his tirade of re
form, so called, in a one room
building and numbered not a
single follower. To-day his eight
story "home," bank building,
schools, and block of apartment
houses in the very heart of the city
of Chicago, together with the city
of Zion which be has founded with
its many buildings and factories
on the lake shore north of the city
are monuments which establish
beyond a doubt to the skeptical
mind that this tithing prop isition
of John As 18 one grand, sweet
successful graft. The defunct
Franklin syndicate, the late Hum
bert swindle, and scores of other
deceased get rich quick schenjps
sink. Juto Utt deepest shades
when compared with Eilijiah
Dowie's religious money making
teal. Together with his saintly

Such a story would seem strong
ly tainted with the odor from
Arabian Night. But the truth
this instance prevails, and the
young American, and the old one,
too, may draw his own conclusions
from the example. It is evident
however, that a graft is th only
thing. Honest money making has
been relegated to the past century.
Not now is it found in the latest
Butterick fashion sheet, and the
young man of today must procure
a graft of respectable magnitude
before lie hows an entrance into
this tierce coniielitive ago. It is
the oen sesame to Wall street, the
the stock exchanges, society circles
and a score of business avenues,
and may be applied successfully
anu advantageously to a major
portion of I'ncle Sam's population.
Fools are horn on an average of
one a week, but the suckers are
multiplying like rabbits. Get a
graft, young man, get a graft.
TOO Ml'CH PIBI.ICITY.
The policy of publicity practic
ed by the press in regard to the at
tempted assassinations of Presid
ent Roosevelt, is likely to be gener
ally condemned in the not distant
future as being altogelher out of I
keeping wtth the secret service
ideas of judicious protection. These j
attempts on the life of the nation's
chief executive are beginning to
become common, and the 0en and
unguarded manner in which even
the minutest details are recited in
the newspapers is said to have met
decided disaprov.il by those whose
duty it is to surround the presid-lnd
ent with every possible safeguard,
To the average mind the big
headlines and long string of tele
grams, which are accompaniments
to these frequent attempts of as
sassination, are matters pertaining
to Dews and demanded by an in
discriminating public. But view
ed from a stand point of personal
safety to the president, a(f it must
necessarily be, the policy presents
many repulsive and forbidding
features.
It is the common custom in the
police and detective circles of even
large city to give out to newspaper
reporters nothing in regard to
crimes of any magnitude until the
guilty parties have been detected.
To do so, thus bringing the detaijs,
and the manner in which a search
will be instutcd before the public,
V
only serves as an avenue of escape
for the criminal who watches with
a zealous eye the operations being
conducted for his capture. When
news is published relative to some
great crime the fact is generally
due to the eternal vigilance of the
police reportor, for'the policy of an
I efficient detective force is silence.
And it would seem that the lat-
tet would be the wisest course to
pursue in matters akin to the pre
sident's personal safety. Publish
ed reports concerning failure to de
prive him of his life cannot fail to
hare their weight with that sect
which would overthrow all forms
of civil government, or with the
semwational whose first erroneous

impression apparently is to take
the president's life in order to gain
imaginary fame. Both classes can
"oe the cause of failure in gaining
their ends and detailed accounts
only better prepare them for fur
thur attempts.

The department of the Interim
has come to the startling conclu
sion that the timlvr and stone act
is hail very bail, inasmuch as
it allows some of I'ncle Sam's pro
teges to buy for MOO a qrartcrsoc
tion of timber which they have
heretofore disposed of with impu
nity at prices which were entirely
satisfactory to themselves. But
the department thinks that specu
lation is running rife; that person
are taking timber claims and per
haps selling them for live or six
times the purchase price; that the
hnancial impetus which they re
ceive as a result ot their disposals
is not, in the strict interpretation
of the law, "for their own exclusive
use and beneliit." It is probably
for the benefit of the Missouri
Compromise. But that is sarcasm.
and is making light of the impeii-'
trahle wisdom that issues from I
the department.

Commissioner has stated that tin-!

B" Mr- Richards has neglected to
atate, tro, that speculation is run-
ni"g entirely without restriction in
the manipulation of scrip; that'
most of the fraud and most of the
illegal work is being carried on
penly by the lieu base o rators, j
'hat a far louder hue and cry j
lean he raised about the vicious leg- j
isiauon wnicn nas niioneii, aim
still continues to allow, the unre-
strietcd placing of scrip upon the
government domain to the exclu
sion of every American citizen.
Mr. Richards and tiie depart
ment have started the argument.
Xow let it be ended if necessary by
a repeal of both laws. Reduce the
simulation of corporations as well
as that of individuals if bv so do- cided success.)
nig a panacea for the evils will
have been secured. But judging' W- Gibson and daughter,

Vigilance of Sheriff Prevents Pos
sible Break of Clevo Doukel
From the County Jail.
" ' I
To the extreme watchfulness
which has been maintained by
Sheriff Sam Smith and Deputy
Claypool over Cleveland Donkel
since his arrest, is probahlv due
the tact that the prisoner is still
confined In the county jail. Since
the day the young mini was" first
placed in a evil the sheriff has
been unceasing in his efforts to
prevent an outbreak by the prison- j
er which he had reason to fear
might he attempted, -iiul a dis
cover) made the first of the week
furnishes ample grounds for the
suspicion.
The sheriff accompanied by de
puty Claypool, visited the cell to'
take the prisoner his supper ami,1
us is their custom, made a careful
search of the room. Over in the.
darkest comer against the wall
was found a ropo which had been '
made from an old cot cove ring. !
The prisoner had pulled the warpj
from the canvas and Iw islcd it jn.j
to a rope, then taking live coals'
from the stove had burned out the1
ro which were sewed around
the mitaldti of the canvas to
strengthen it. These he had tied '
together making a strong rope,!
some sixteen feet in length.
A further search levealed another j
piece alaiut four foot iit length ly.'
ingnn the table and carefully!
covered with old newspapers, llr
had evidently heard the sti of
the sheriff and deputy about the
time he was lying this to the long-'.
er piece and had covered it up so '
that it would not be noticed. j
Sheriff Smith would not talk ;
regarding the young man's 'inten
tions, hut it is probable that the
prisoner aimed to get the advant
age of either the sln-iift or deputy
Claypool at some meal time and
bind them with the roie so an es
cape could lie effected. If these
were tbi designs ol the young
man, credit is ilue the sheriff's of
fice for completely thwarting them.
If the ropes had hecn made as a
pastiaie and not for future use it
is not likely, that the prisoner
would have Ihi-ii so careful ill con
cealing them.
