The News desires to commend the zeal of officials who have worked up these cases, and'also to commend the course of the recorder in disposing of them in resolute fashion. If a suggestion may be permitted, we would advise an even more strenuous course—the substitution of the impris onment treatment for the fine system. No big trust has yet been destroyed by the fine route. The big trusts can well afford to pay heavy penalties for violation. One jail sentence would do more to curb* illegitimate monopolies than millions in fines. And the same thing applies in small er cases. It seems to be an admitted fact that bling tigering has flourished iu the city. Already two clubs, sup- !>osod to have been orgnnized for so cial purposes, have been convicteil and lined. Will the flue remetly cure the complaint ? The law leaves punish ment in the discreiion of the recorder, the limit being two years in jail for a violation of the prohibiion law. One jail sentence w^uld do more to break up all forms of blind tigering, high and low, than ten thousand dollars in lines. In the I'ase of the Wvdl-io-do re tailor, a fuie i.nioimtt-' to liitlu more tl'.a’i a lift iiso. 'his is not inieudtnl as a criticism, liut a fu^^estion.

All of ihe seven young la(fy operators of the com pany were in the “walk-out” and since they quit the job Iho company’s elec trician. linemen and others are oper ating the^switchlxiard. New’ operators are being secured as rai)idly as possi ble, and while the service will be im paired for a lime, the company ex pects to have the best service ever in a reasonable length of time. The young ladies yestorda.v morn ing served notice on Mr. W. VV. liar- ringer, manager of the system, that they must have $2.50 additional per month and demanded a definite an swer today. i\lr. Barringei’ called a meeting of the board of. directors and laid the matler before them. The di rectors refused the demand on the ground iTTat the present pay—$20 a month—is as much as Is paid else where and as much as the company can afford to pay for eight and a half hours Avork a day. The decision of the directors was announced to the opera- tois and they picked nj) their “duds” and hats and marched out without even saying gotxl-byc. blind tigeriU:'. PUBLICITY NEEDED. The nation desires above all things hone&ty lu Its elections. The corrup tion brought to light has had the effect of stirring a strong popular de mand fur the elimination of all njeth- ods by whicli elections are corrupted. The Philadelphia Record makes this plea for the passage of the campaign publicity bill: ”.\s amended by the senate commit tee op privileges and elections, the campaign expenses publicity bill ex tends to primaries as well as ge'^eral elections, and applies to elections of senators as well as of representatives. An effort fo limit the amount of ))er- niissible expenditures failed; but the commiiioe presents, with a favorable recommendation, au amendment re quiring individual candidates as well as campaign committee.'^ .to file Etate mcnts of contributions and expendi tures both before and after elections. Candidates ff)i- the senate must also file their rn^liminary statements five davs before the beginning of the leg- l.slative ses&ion at which the election is to take piace, and a final state ment fifteen days after the legisla ture has voted and mnde its choice.

The h . ;-t 3tloii Is a good one, and In the light of the f'.l’owlng, from the Wa- .'rnfiti. , soems that much be gained by stmi- iiif>ning Charles V>’. Morse. Concern ing the need of probing the panic, and of Interrog-ating Morso our Maine con- rcm;:ornrj' has his to say: ‘‘Ir i.s fitting and proper that the dfi-.Of raflc house of representatives at Washington shall probe the panic of 1907.

Standard Oil and Qteel and Coal and some other great Interests wer« afrnid of the new comer, and so they decided to break him and put him away. "CharleB W .Morse was the panic of 1907. If congress desires to know an Intensely IntcreBting storj’ with all fie tlon omitted, a itory as yet unpublish ed, then congrefls, or the committee f>f the national house, should get Charles W. Morse to unacal his lips and give the Inside history of the panic of iDoy. The trail would lead to some very high places and th© mark of Cain woiiid be left upon many lofty brows. High ex ecutives, prominent Jurists, well-known legislators and some notable million- alres would be found entangled In an incriminating network of duplicity and fraud. "John W. Oates has just toiiched the high fipota of the panic of 1907. Very aptly did he advise the committee to get Morse. Carnegie, Rockefeller, Per- klni, Cortelyou and Roesevelt. The present secretary of war, Harry L. fitirason, should not be left out. After these men of affairs are compelled to answer the questiona of the commit tee in eearoh o ftruth, by all means have Charles W. Morse on the witness stand where no corrupt judge can ex clude evidence of paramount Import ance to establishing the truth.” ever’ besides the payment of promis>e of mocey as provided in the house bill. This last amendment is regard ed as an especially great Improve ment, and the opinion of the commit tee In thiq regard is quite correct; promises of ofH?e or of other ad vantages have quite as grave a cor rupting influence as promises of payments of cash. “The am'ndments add considerable strength to Ihe bill, ard there is no apparent reason why they should not be adopted by the senate and accept ed by the house in conference. At tempts have been made to provoke hostility among Southern members of congress by the dissemination of reports that, the amendments respect- in pubilcity of primary election ex penses were added to the bill by the republican majority in the sen ate merely to make trouble for can didate:? in the South. The reports have no reasf>nable foundation. Sena torial and congressional primaries are now held in a large number of Northern states, and the practice Is no longer peculiarly Southern; more over, candidates froifi tRat section as a rule have much less reason to fe^iV publicity, cither with regard to the amoimt of their expenditures or the names and character of the contributors to their campaigns. The corruption funds in presidential and congressional elections are to the largest extent of Northern origin, and the bill, if enacted, would lay bare ten instances of Northern and stand- pat republican rascality to every in stance of Democratic or Southern election crookedness.” THE AMERICAN MINISTER TO LEAVE TODAY FOR HIS POST By /\«socIated Press. Washington, ,7une 21.—Thomas C. Dawson, American minster to Panama, left Washington today for Hampton Roads, where he will embark upon the armored cruiser North Carolina for La, C,naira, as the head of the Ameri can delegation or special embassy to participate in the Vene/aielan centen nial ceremonies at Caracas next month. Captain Marsh, commander of the North Carolina, has been designated as the naval attache of the special embassy and Frank Parker, of the eleventh infantry, will represent the army.

Raleigh, N. C.. June 21.—Mrs. Annie O. Eat man, the well-know n Raleigh dressn^aker. who was duped out of $800 by Madam Butler, now* under arrest in Baltimore aw'aiting extradi tion to Raleigh to answer the charge, gives a statement as to just how she was induced to give up so large a sum of money to “Gypsy fortune tell ers.” She says Madam Hunter, who posed to her as Mrs. Slayman. had an accoxyplice w’hom she introduced as “Mrs. Gray” and w'ho is wanted in Norfolk for perpetrating similar frauds in that city. Mrs. Eatman says Madam Htmter came to her house and told her that she could read in the lines of her face that she was in deep trouble over a son and that her poj^'- ers af devinatlon enabled her to see that this son was about to get into the penitentiary. She would avert this calamity if Mrs. Eatman would give her $290. Mrs. Eatman was greatly disturbed but would not pay the mon-. ey. The woman came back and offered to intervene if she were paid $100. This money was paid. Later there were a number of visits by the w^oman accompanied by “Mrs. Gray.” The lat ter, Mrs. Eatman says, possessed a powerful hypnotic influence over her and the two succeeed in getting from her from time to time the $800 that 5-he let them have. One reason for the extra money was that the fortune tellers foretold that her son w’ould be hansred if their magic art W'ere not exercised in his behalf. Finally they attempted to force her to give them a $200 diamond ring that belonged to her son and to give them silver table ware that she refused to part with. W'hen they visited her last they told her that they had discovered that there had been buried under a fine old oak tree in the Eatman yard a box of money, containing $14,000 and that op a certain day close at hand this box would come to the surface. They stipulated that when it appeared she must reserve one-fourth of it for them. This was just before the for tune tellers disappeared from Ral eigh. A requisition has been sent to Mary land for the extradition of Madam Hunter and an oflicer will go to take her in custody Thursday. There is considerable expectation that she will forfeit her $2,500 bond and disappear again. Bankruptcy Proceeding. A voluntary proceeding in bankrupt cy was filed in the federal court yes terday by The Ellington Lumber and Building Supply Co., of Raleigh, the liabilities being given as $22,891 and the asets as $13,242. The fifty odd creditors enumerated mostly reside in Raleigh. The company only a few months ago moved into an especially w^ll equipped lumber and builder’s supply plant out near the state’s pris on where it has sidetrack arrange ments with all the railroad companies.

STIEFF PIANOS “Sing Their Own Praise.” One of the greatest charac- teriaticB of the past and present day is INDI VIDUALITY. The individuality of the STIEFF PIANO is its chief charm. There is NO other piano just like the STIEFF. Others try to imitate, but some how they fail to reach that “ev erything”—that “individuality” characteristic of the Stieff Pi ano. THE STIEFF PIANO enjoys still another “Individual ity” foreign to any other great make. It is sold direct to the user. This “Individuality” se cures an ideal piano, one that will meet e\#ry demand or the greatest pianist or most exact ing musician at a moderate cost. Write for catalogues, prices, etc. Chas. M.
