MR. DEARBORN'S VIEW
EORGE S. DEARBORN, presi
f dent of the American-Ha
IT waiian Steamship Company,
said in Portland Thursday,
that if American vessels in coast
wise trade . are charged Panama
canal tolls, the shippers will pay
the tolls.
' It is a widely different state
ment to that made by Mr. Wheel
wright and others in - their in
sistence that the remitted tolls
will go into the pockets of steam
ship owners.
Mr. Dearborn's company is the
1 owner of the largest American
coastwise line. It took no part
before Congress in securing pas
sage of the free tolls provision.
President Dearborn said:

HE Seattle Sun presents an
interesting comment on the
election of Hi Gill. It says:

There is no doubt of it. People

of the political game played from

JEROME'S ATTORNEY FEE
T
HIS interesting' claim against
the state of New York has
been filed with the proper
department in the state house
at Albany:
William Travers Jerome, attorney
fee, $26,000.
Bernard Jacobs, Lancaster, New
Hampshire, fee, $5000.
Jacobs. Hall, Couture & Fitch, Mon
treal. fee. J5000.
Hector Vefret, Coatlcook, fee, 1500.
Case Hargraln. Montreal, fee, 11000
Jacob Nicol, Sherbrook. fee, $900.
The total is $38,400. It is the
sum Jerome proposes to have ex
pended in payment of lawyers in
the proceedings to get Thaw from
Canada back Into Matteawan. The
claim has been approved by the
attorney general. It raises the
question, if after all, Jerome and
not Thaw, is the really dangerous
man to be at large.
Twenty-fiva thousand for Jerome
himself! Five thousand and other
sums here and there to other law
yers until the total is $38,400 for
the capture and reincarceration in
an insane prison of the man who
really seems the sanest of the lot!
Jerome's own monumental fee
of $25,000 shows that it was not
motives of high principle but a
a great thirst for simoieons that
makes , hlm active in pursuit of
Thaw. It shows that the trials

Compensating Liquor Traffic. :
Newport, Or., March 17. To the Ed
itor of The Journal In The Journal
last evening I found a very "Interest
ing letter from Mrs. Dunlway setting
forth her idea of one phase of the
business side of the liquor question.
One paragraph of her letter ia par
ticularly interesting. She says:
"It a petition were circulated with
a reasonable compensation act to 'meet
the destruction of property resulting
tnererrom it might entitle the ques
tion to a place on the ballot: but un
til this is done the present propaganda
is not square, and is not entitled to
the votes of Justice loving people."
Now we Prohibitionists are strictly
a justice lovmsr Deonie. ana I asrree
strictly with Mrs. Duniway on the
question of compensation for destruc
tion of property. If society destroys
the property of the liquor Interests,
directly or Indirectly, It should pay
for it. And by the same logic, if the
liquor Interests destroy the property
of society, society should receive a
Just compensation for all property so
destroyed.
Millions upon millions of property
have been destroyed 'through railroad
accidents, collisions, etc, caused by
intoxicated engineers and switchmen.
Richard La Qallicne, the poet, was
talking in New York about the hard
ships of a poet's lot. i 'I
. "Poetry : Is popu

In a certain neighborhood there ire
sided an honest farmer who was hot
easily swerved from the path of recti
tude. He owned a
horse which a cou
ple of traders
wished to posses.
They called on the
farmer and after
some haggling gave
him- his price and
drove off with the
prize. They had
scarcely tone three
miles when the horse dropped dead, In
the road.
Seeing the farmer a few days later,
they approached him with: "What
kind of a horse was that you sold us
the other day?"
"A good all around horse, sirs.1
' "Yes, he was! He dropped down
dead before wo got three miles from
home."
The farmer listened In open
mouthed astonishment, and then ex
claimed: "Upon my word of honor,
gentlemen, he never done that way for
me." McCall'a Magazine.
