Sup-pesing a mart goes in the hills at this time of
tie year ami kills a ieer. Supposing the game ward
en meets him ami arrests him for ktllieg a game ani
mol cut o.f season and in Ttttatkn of the law made aad
t-mvided. ir>i try. him before the Catted mates
Cenralssiccet and charges hist with violation of tee
■ te > rich t>- :x pleads guilty. As: supposing
further that the - ssieaer is very sires and every
t’r'ng. and fines hi', twenty debars and by way os im
pressing or. the roirei of the offender the gravity o.
;he offers*. confiscates meat, gun and ail. and
him te go but sin so mere, which ends that part c
the business. Ah this, however, is only a lead to wba
shiuli like to know, which is this: What will
become of the meat1
Xs . we have merer been accused of being curious
As a matter of fact, we are positively son-carious:
nevertheless, we hi iki like to know w-aas the conisais
sic-rer ana the game snides do with the meat ? That's

A ONE MAN GOVERNMENT
Seme of the Mexican bandits are paying with their
lives far their refusal to comply with the edicts of he
country's one "~.vn y-remanent; and apparently, that
is the only form if guienmeiu that can obtain re
sults in that coentry. Old Dial managed it for a
u roily number :f years with an iron red. What he
sahi was law. Of c otarse he kept a few a round
• — who appeared te meddle with the government af
fairs. but only under the supervrstert off Diaz, and to
tell the v hele truth, the country was far better gor
•;meh then, than it has bees since the cower to gov
ern has been fistriboted among several. The Mex
:;ams as a .. b. - must be ruled, net crazed, kicked not
i* tted. because :t> seems to be the nature of the beasts.
It the .- are olliwed to think for themselves, their
! first "thought is to sAew for revenge, anti their second?
i thought it te get St. If Cbtwaw keeps that up. he’ll

The Jurwau Dispatch says that Louis P. Shaekel
fi.rd does cot believe fee will be able to go to the
Republican National cwnmtion at Chicago this year.
; “Believe” in. this case is very- indefinite and all we
; cars say is that w e wish he was positive. Anyhow

COl'NTR t-'VIDE T. R- CANVAS
(From New York World)
Is Theodore R oseveit growing in popular savor
as a possible Republican nominee for the presidency!
was the question put by the Chicago Herald to its cor
respondents in the forty-eight states, asking for an
analysis of popular sentiment. The message, sen;
out by the newspapers, was as follows: “Is there any
increase in sen:Ir on; for RevseveSs for Republican
n*niina:i©n for president in your state and neighbor
seed! if so. among what classes! Are any of his
I opponents, of three years ago now for hint!
The replies which have been received show some
J noteworthy results- About TO per cent, state tha;
: the ex-president is not growing in favor as a possible
’ Republican candidate, and two-fifths of these, or 20
per cent, of the total, go further than this and assert
’ -hat the colonel has fewer supporters today than than
i in 1912. The remaining St) per cent, of the cones
pendeets assert that in. their states an increasing sen
l -ament for Roosevelt is discernible.
Judging from she replies. Roosevelt and his atta
tude are the absorbing topic in the task of politicians
. ami party rank and file. I: is widely admitted that
, he is a force to be reckoned with when the national
? cetmtshca meets is Chicago, and that to stand a
chance os’ winning she ticket named muss be one that
will gain his approval.

AFTER THE 'HIGHER-IPS”
Sheriff Hodge in Seattle is being criticised for
raiding the private residences of millionaires of liquor
stocks illegally held. He has been advised by the
prosecutor to let sp on private residences and go
after alleged “King pigs.” The Dispatch fails to
see any distinction between the millionaire and the
“blind pig” operator so far as the law is concerned
To argue otherwise would be to admit that there
should be one law for the higher-ups and another for
^tht “lowgr-downs.‘ Possibly the sheriff may be over
leaioos in the performance of “his duty” for reasons
best known to himself, political of otherwise: but the
fact remains that he is acting within the ’aw and that
no class ef citiiers shosM be made immune front its
operation—Juneau Dispatch.
