The leport of the traveling paper salesman bears us out in this statement. Any way, its list is con stantly growing, which shows that the people like a free and outspoken news- paper. Even the republicans wno are fearful of and wanted to boycot it borrow their neighbor's paper.

And so there we are at tne mercy m the trusts. Nobody to blame, every body powerless.

Aside from the case of Captain Carter the president has promptly approved the sentence, without referring it either to an eminent private lawyer or to his attorney-general. Appeals for mercy and mitigation were sternly denied. One case involved the borrowing of $300 by a second lieutenant on false pre' tenses. The other involved the squan derine of $1600 of public funds by an other lieutenant. In both cases the of fenders were sentenced to dismissal from the army. And in both cases the sentence was approved by the president and promptly executed. Captain Carter was convicted by the unanimous verdict of fourteen army oth cers of embezzling $1,600,000 just one thousand times as much as the defalca tion of the lieutenant without a "pull." Mr. McKinley sent the Carter case for "review" first to Judge Edmunds and then to Attorney-General Griggs, who is now playing golf over it. And sentence has now been suspended for a period of one year, three months and ten days. Moral for army officers: Steal by wholesale and get a strong "pull" for your protection. Our Fall Stock....
