Items Gathered in yf From Far and Near

. Hall! the Luscious Muskrat. From the Baltimore Sun. The diamond-back terrapin is becoming extinct, the canvas-back duck is getting scarcer every year, and even the toothsome shad is threatened; but we need not despair, for the luscious muskrat is still with us, and he In both food and raiment. At one time esteemed as a food only by the negroes who lived in the marsh region as was. in fact, the case with the diamond-back the muskrat is now coming into his own. He has his admirers by the thousands, clubs have been organized for the sole purpose of having muskrat dinners at stated intervals, and he has achieved the distinction of having the government issue ft pamphlet about him, describing his good and evil qualities aud extolling him as one of Maryland's choice food products. For, as with most of the other good things of this life, Maryland produces . the best in Musk rats the best in food value and the roost valuable in fur. Do not be horrified at the idea of eating a muskrat. In the first place, when Dronerlv

prepared they are excellent, and In eteond place you may have eaten Cr"l without knowing it. You may k: wni bought them In the mar-kcZ-akmned, of course under the sue ct "marsh rabbits!" some of

KERN CAN BE "TRUSTED" Behold here a sample of the woi of the democratic press bureau, clipped from the plate matter of a democratic country "organ:" "Indianapolis, May For the past ten days the Republican ' press of the state led by the Indianapolis Star, has been bombarding John W. Kern concerning the statement issued by him soon after the adjournment of the general assembly in 1909, in which he said that some of the Democratic members had been "induced by inter- ' ests inimical to him to vote against his candidacy for. the United States Senatorship, but thus far they have not been able to get Kern to say a word in reply. And it is a safe bet that they will not get him to say anything either. Kern can be trusted at all times to do the sensible thing in a delicate political situation, and while the present situation is not so delicate. Kern can be looked to to use Just as much good sense now as if the case demanded the utmost political tact" . . . So "Kern can be trusted to do the sensible thing"we thought as much. The sensible thing according to the Tammany Hall of Indiana is not to say anything. It was all very, well to attack the Fleming-Crawford Fairbanks-Taggart outfit and tell the truth about it when it had knifed Kern for reasons known to its inner ring. But now that these men are back of Kern "he can be trusted."

Will there be no connection in the minds of the people between this and Its lower and more vulgar form of "hush money V" If Kern knows that there has been bribery of legislators of this state by the most corrupt political outfit of highbinders in the West will it redound to his integrity to keep silent because these same men have backed him and will back him for the high office that he seeks? If Kern will do that, is it not more than remotely possible that he will repay his campaign debts by silence on the floor of the Senate when the conflict comes between the people and the forces of special privilege? When Cannon was elected it was the Tammany congressmen who stepped in and in alliance with other powers of Greed continued the rule of selfishness and worse. , When the tariff schedules needed support under the guiding hand of the corporate powers it was the scandal of this country and the Democratic party that seventeen of their senators swere ready to furnish the votes to Aldrich. The railroad bill which has been shorn of most of the cancerous growths in the House is about to be defeated by the oligarchy of Greed by an alliance of Democrats in the Senate who can be controlled by Aid-rich.

And how is this done? v It is done by the same means that nominated Shively In this state. It is done by those great interests who are In politics for the spoils men who, when all other things fail, resort to bribery. , These are the men who hope to defeat Beveridge this fall in Indiana. These are the men who are behind Kern. And why are they behind Kern? , The lnswer Is in the dispatches sent out by the publicity bureau of the Tammany Hall of Indiana. The answer is in the dispatches ted at all times to do the sensible thing . in a delicate political situation." ; ' The Senate; the House of Representatives; the legislatures; seats on the bench; prosecuting attorneyships; these places are filled with men who can be "trusted" by the Powers that Prey. Because they are not the men who can be .trusted by the people. . " Theodore Roosevelt could never be trusted to do the expedient thing to save the bacon of the Interests. Governor Folk could not be trusted to save the grafters in his own party when he was prosecuting attorney. ' . Judge Lindsey could not be trusted to condone the Beasts In tho Jungle. ... '' f ' Senator Beveridge could not be trusted to be whipped into line to rob the American people by voting for the Payne-Aldrlch bill. The whole trouble with this American nation is that we are putting men into office who are "all right" who can be trusted never to betray the Interests and in that -moment betray the people who elected them and whose affairs they hold in public trust. What we know about Kern as the attorney and agent of Taggart for years is only strengthened by his lack of common honesty in allowing his mouth t he stopped by the nomination received at the hands of the men whom he has openly charged with bribery. The short and ugly name for this is hush-money the hand maiden of corruption and the consort of special privilege., A man who can not be trusted to do the outspoken unpolitic thing is not of the timber that people tired of being robbed by the very same "expediency" will stomach when he is put up against a man who has dared to defy the forces of the powers of pillage and all their retinue.

those who have eaten them for what they are do not like them; others say the muskrat is a game worthy of an epicure, with the flavor, of the wild duck shot in the marshes in which it has fed. Others say they taste like terrapin, while others, without attempting a comparison, say they are "mighty good."

Statue of a Great American. From the New York Sun. Representative Sulzer has introduced in the House, and the cominitmittee on library now has under consideration a bill providing for the erection in the city of Washington by the federal government of a statue of Samuel J. Tilden of New York. In every sane attempt to improve the administration of governmental affairs, in every intelligent effort to better the conditions of public life, in. every movement designed to rid legislation and the enforcement of laws, of favoritism, fraud and trickery, the spirit of Tilden persists and finds expression. The work that he did, the methods that his extraordinary intelligence devised and approved, constitute today the foundation and plans for reforms continuously in progress but as jet unfinished. There is no partisanship in this movement to honor one of the greatest of America's political philosophers and practical statesmen. The tribute has been too long delayed. Mr. Tilden's fame belongs to the nation. The appropriation asked for by Mr. Sulzer's bill should be granted promptly by the Sixty-first Congress.

Rapid City, S. D., May ll.-In the picturesque Dark Canyon, a wild spot near her, lasting monuments to ths memory of the great chiefs of the Ogalalla Sioux, who in early days loved to roam through tha pineclad hills at will are to be erected. Carvings on the bald faces of rocks in the canyon, inscriptions fashioned by the cunning of redskinned artists now making their home on the Indian reservations in South Dakota will mark the lives of such men as Red Cloud, White Cloud, Sitting Bull, the most famous for his part in the massacres; Rain in the Face. Two Sticks, who was hanged in this city for murder thirty years ago, and others of the old warriors who have from time to time passed to their happy hunting grounds. The memorials will be placed in a little plot in the canyon loved by all of the Indians. The selection of the spot which in future history will mark the strenuous days of Indian rule, was made by a

committee of Indians from the reserva

tion. Grave visaged men, a small com

mittee appointed by the survivors of

their race, visited the canyon in company with Frank Lockhart of this city, and with , guttural mumblings and . with many gesticulations picked out the plot in which the-monuments to their dead chiefs will be reared.

Then silently they returned to their

reservations to arrange with their art

ists tho making of the tributes to the chiefs. Some of these will be in the

form of statuary, some in simple carv

ings on the rocks, such as the pioneers of the seventies saw in their first

jourrieyings to the gold laden hills

when none but red men lived here.

No , date for the erection of these monuments has been set. It may be weeks before the representatives of the Indians are satisfied : that fitting tributes to their chiefs are ready. Then all the tribesmen, now in a state of ; semi-civilization ? on the Rosebud and Pine Ridge reservations where they are charges of Uncle Sam, will be called together to pass upon the merits of the monuments. Then -when their approval is gained the committee of the red men will again visit the Dark Canyon and attend to raising of the monuments. The idea of raising and placing these monuments to their noted dead is not new with the Sioux Indians in this state. They have long figured on it and often spoken of it. Finally it w.as decided by their head men to choose the Black Hills.

Can Hardly Resist the Temptation Those Who Know It Praise It the Most.

The Illinois Scandal. From the Cincinnati Times-Star. The charges of bribery in connection with the election of William Lorimer as United States senator from Illinois, stand out in clear relief even in a year marked by starting graft exposures. It would be pleasant if a reasonable knowledge of existing conditions in American politics made the average man' feel, on reading such a story, that it was plainly preposterous and impossible, or at least, to be seriously considered only after ' the most final and convincing proofs had been submitted. However, there are a few men In nearly every, legislature who are financially crooked. In an election where one candidate has a big lead over his rivals, individuals of this sort have small chance to ply their trade. " But ' when an : election hangs by a thread there Is always a
