UNION &-UBEL?
TEXT HOOlv GRAFTS.
The Chicago Record-Herald In an
editorial on text-book grafts In the
suburban villages of Chicago, makes a
strong argument for free text-books,
to be published by the various states
for their own schools.
While the Chicago paper may not
be. m favor of free text-books, yet Its
disclosure of the graft of the Ameri
can Book company is a remarkably
stroi g and convincing argument
against the domination of this trust.
The editorial is as follows:
The irregularities In the prices of
text-books which came to light while
the board of education was seeking
now miliars ilnpfnir the snmmpr were
as though Chicago was a special vic
tim of the publishers, while other
cities, and more especially the peo
ple of the states of Indiana ami Kan
sas, were h!ghly favored. But Chicago
Is not the worst sufferer. The Record-Herald
has recently Investigated
the prices of text-books in suburban
towns around Chicago, and it finds
that in some of them prices are very
. high even in comparison with Chica
go prices.
The Olnn & Co. readers, Just adopt
ed in Chicago at 22, 2S. 36 and 46
cent" a copy for the first four grades,
cost Blue Island people 3". 40. 45 and
65 cent. On the other hand,-the for
tunate residents of Hammond. Ind.,
get them for 10, 15, 25 and 30 cents,
The hooks sold in Indiana are said
to lie of cheaper make and condensed,
but satisfactory proof that prices and
qualties correspond has not been of
fered. Tarr and Mc.Murry geographies,
published by Macmlllan, which bring
48 and 80 cents in Chicago, are sold
tc Hammond people at 30 and 70
cents, while unhappy Berwynites have
ot pay 60 cents and a dollar. May
wool lr paying for its readers prices
well atove the prices the same books
were quoted at In offers to the Chica
go school board. The Werner arith
metic, book two, sells at 40 cents In
Oak Park and Maywood and at 50
cents in Blue Island "and Evanston.
Book three of this same arithmetic,
brings 45 cents in Maywood, 60 cents
In Evanston and Oak Park and 60
cents In Blue Island. The American
Eook company publishes this work.
Such conditions are discreditable to
the publishers and Injurious to the
municipalities, not only to the extent
of the overcharges under which many
of them suffer, but In still more im
portant respects. School boards are
pestered, bamboozled and led astray
by the enterprising agents, and school
work indirectly suffers.
If the book publishers will not rem
edy this evil by standardizing their
own price lists it may be necessary
for Illinois to pass prlce-regulatlng
laws on the lines of those already In
force In other states.
The cities and villages that have
been worst cheated should be the first
to take up the agitation.
LAW IS COXSTITl'TIOXAL.
In the proposed new water law that
the next legislature will be asked to
enact Is the following clause: "All
waters within the limits of the state,
from -01 sources of water supply be
long tc the public, and, except as nav
igable waters, are subject to appro
prla'lon for beneficial uses."
Some question has arisen as to the
constitutionality of thlB clause, and
Attorney-General Crawford, replying
ti :i letter from State Engineer Lewis,
has civt-n as lils opinion that there la
nothing unconstitutional In the clause.
Mr. Crawford pocs on to gay that,
in his ..pinion, the old common law
on ripmiun rights may be modified by
the legislature In nny way that does
n it conflict with the constitution, but
that the Interpretation of what Is
vesed rights In most cases Is a ques
tion that the courts must decide to the
peculiarities of each case.
Mr. Crawford believes that the com
mon law on water rights In many In
stances, Is not applicable In the arid
r.-gions of the west.
TIIK HOODI.KU S METHODS.
In the October number of Mc
Clure's C. P. Connelly tells about
Senator Whiteside's famous fight for
the Integrity of Montana and how ho
ld In the exposure of Clark's bribery
of the legislature.
Senator Whiteside is one of the
m.st striking figures that has appear
ed in the narrative abounding In dru
amtic characters.
M. Connelly describes him as
"peculiarly a man of action, reserved
and Intense, who did not know the
meaning of caution, much less of
fear."
His career throughout the "bribery
session" was remarkable. Having de
cided at the beginning of the senator
ial fight, when Clark's men began to
approach him with bribes, to break
up the whole band of hoodlers, he
went about his purpose with a single
ness of aim that no threats or prom
ises could turn. Nothing daunted
him.
W lien five of Clark's lieutenants
hearing that something was in the
wind, escorted him one .night to the
bi.ck room of an office building, ac-
used him of bad faith .and informed
him that if he was about to play the
traitor he would never leave the room
alive. Whiteside acted his part so
cooly and convincingly that the Clark
men apologized and left him one of
their guns- to tike home with him.
The st my of the famous $30,000
that was Intrusted to Whiteside for
the purpose of buying the votes of
three senators, Is one which holds the
readers' hi-eathlera attention.
From the time the money went Into
his hands until the moment when the
eierk ot the legislature held up th
government notes before the assem
bled body, and a spectator could havo
heard a thistle down roll up the isle
of the house, one excitlnsr incident
follows another In a manner- that re
calls the novels of Dumas.
Whiteside's memorable speech after
the reading of the testimony marks
the climax of the most interesting
chapter of this serial which has yet
appeared.
XO RAILROAD COXSCJEXt'E FIND
The Santa Fe railroad people at To
peka have been greatly amused by a
recent contribution to the conscience
fund. A man who bought a ticket of
a scalper some years ago has suffered
an awakening of conscience as to the
honesty of the transaction and has
returned to the company $27.
He says that he has made the mat
ter the subject of prayer and has been
advised to .-emit $27. The rate clerks
are unable to imagine how he came to
get an answer to his prayer which de
cided upon that figure.
The amount would be somewhat
larger If he were to remit the actual
difference between the regular fare
and the scalper's ticket.
. Thh) incident suggests, however,
that while railroads have a conscience
fund Into which they put money con
tributed by the awakened consciences
of travelers and shippers, there does
not appear to be any conscience fund
from which to take money to square
up discriminations, rebates and over
charges In favor of those descrlmlnat
ed against.
We have yet to learn of a shipper
being surprised on opening his morn
ing mall to find a letter from a rail
road president of traffic manager ad
vising him that on his last shipment
he was charged more than his larger
competitor and that he In alt honesty
and fairness is entitled to the same
rate, and enclosing a check for the
amount of (he discrimination.

Indigestion promptly follows the use of
lard as lard is made from hog-fat, and is
greasy and indigestible. Some future day,
when people are wiser and healthier, lard, for
edible purposes, will be scarcely used; but,
until then, we suppose people wiU continue to
suffer from "lard stomachs."
The most perfect shortening in the world
is Cottolene. It is a pure vegetable product,
containing only pure, refined cotton seed oil

QI AUTIES OF THE ARAB HORSE.
Our present thoroughbred Is a liv
ing witness of the Arab's capability
as a founder and creator of races.
Himself a natural racer, bred through
centuries- for speed and stay, the Arab
possesses every gift and qualification,
courage, docility, temper, endurance,
action, determination.
If he cannot go with the fliers of
the course, bred and trained solely
for speed neither can he be called
slow. He has run two miles with
Derby weight up in 3:48, yet on the
course he keeps nearly to his normal
speed. Long or Bhort, his race Is run
true from end to end; moreover, so
excellent are his temper and consti
tution that he stands training for
years and has been known to win
races In hls'teens.
In the point of endurance no other
horse is worthy to be named with him.
Under the trying Indian un the two
little Arabs, Honeysuckls and Grayleg
were matched for two-mile heats
best three out of five. It took seven
heats to decide the match and three
of them were dead heats. Country

PLOWED OVER BRYAN GRAVES.
"George W. Ryder, a farmer of
Bears Den, near here, was sued In
court here for plowing over the graves
of the parents of William Jennings
Bryan and others in a deserted cem
etery, says a dispatch from Youngs-
town. The plaintiff In the suit Is
Mary Herron.
Ryder Is also charged with using
the headstones for walks about his
farm yard. During the 1896 cam
palgn, and later on another speaking
trip through Ohio, Mr, Bryan stopped
at Bears Den and endeavored to locate
the graves of his parents. He said he
wa sposltive they were buried at that
place, though he was unable to identi
fy the exact graves. He Intended to
remove the bodies at some future date.
The cemetery was abandoned some
years ago, and finally was disposed of
at private sale, with the understand
ing, Mary Herron says, that the land
was to be left sacred to the dead. Ry
