Every murderer and every man who
meditates mur Ter is a lunatic. But the
phase or variety of insanity which is
manifested by such devilish deed as oc-
Cured yesterday in Mr.. Sage's office is
the very danger which society seeks to
avoid by Furnishing murder and assassi-
nation with its severest penalty. A man
SO possessed must be put beyond the pos
sibility of doir fharm, as wild beast or
mad doc 1T to death. If any body
is her. 3e should go to the gallows
fir Without chance of escape.
xause he is what is called nowaday. a
ank is no excuse for him. He is all the
more dangerous on that account, aud So
ciety has the more need to be rid of him,
for his impulse to atrocious crime is not
accidental. but continuous, and the con-
sequence of a cause permanently exciting
in his makeup.
The horrible incident shows also that
men will need to surround themselves
with new and further safeguards unless
society sets 10 work deliberately and with
thoroughness to extirpate this murderous
breed. The very growth and develop
ment of civilization multiply their oppor-
tunities. as the increase of population
muitiplies their numbers. One of them
is dead already, hoist with his own Pc
tard, but the safety of the public re.
quires that they should all be hunted out
and chained as beasts of prey.-N. Y. Sun.

The Wall Street Democrat

The Democrat of Nea York who
fructifies and spreads himselG abroad
in the shadow of Wall Street rs a
blessing, a benediction as well as a
comfort to himself, and q perennial
source of pIide and graduation to the
party in his own state, if not so much
so to members of that fold in other
parts of the nation. If there is one
thing more than another upon which
he felicitates himself it is the fact that
he has been constituted the perpetual
guide, philosopher and friend of the
Democratic party of the whole nation
by himself and others of his kidney.
Politics with him is recreation and
a relaxation from the more arduous
pursuits that engross his attention
during the diurnal contests that take
place between the bulls and bears on

ROME, Italy, August "a, 1921.
Dear Little Boy
Papa has just had Sunday here in this
far-away city. and wishes he could have
had an hour with the boys az home. We
went to great church To-day, st. Peter,
the largest IN the world, with great
BILE statues inside and gold on the ag
and a floor all made of marble great
candles AS high as man br e and as
many as hundred miniez-s, some with
red and purple coats on, and some with
white coats, and they sang and chanted
together. AT one and we saw sort of
Sunday: school. The boys were all by
themselves snd the girls by themselves in
another part of the church, and the boys
stood up and answered questions that
their teacher asked them, and one little
boy was good deal like Flip and he an
swered beautifully, only in a language
you never heard, not French or German,
but Italian. | will see you before long
now. Good night PAPA.

Significant Voting for Speaker.

An analysis of the votes cast in Dem
| ocratic caucus for Speaker, develops some
strange and rather significant sectional
expressions which all parties would do
well to appreciate.
Crisp and Mills, the two leading can
didates of the party, are both from the
South, but Crisp received more than
double the number ofSouthern votes Civ.
en- to Mills. The general vote of the
Southern leaders was 81 for Crisp and &c
for Mills, while the Middle States voted
20 for Crisp and l3 for Mills.
Next to the singular significance of the
Southern vote between Crisp and Mills,
the vote of New England and the West is
most instructive. New England gave 10
votes to Mills and to Crisp, and the
Western States gave 20 to Mills and to
Crisp.
These peculiar sectional DIVISIONS are
not in any measure accidental. The mid
E,ile States, the centre Of conservatism in
Democratic politics, give 20 votes to Crisp
and IS to Mills, and it is obviously tho
conservative sentiment of the South that
gives Crisp more than two to one of the
votes from that section.
The special lesson of the overwhelming
majority for Mills over Crisp in New
England and the West, is the emphasis
fittmeant. e. givp in favor of theanoaf rad,
ical tariff reform. It was not expeeteu
that any more radical tariff revision could
come from Mills election as Speaker
than from Crisp,s success; but New. En-
gland and the West fairly represent their
sections in striving to give the greatest
possible Impetus to the lowest tariff taxes.
If these expressions of the West. and of
New England were the mere individual
views of radicals who won accidental sue
cess in politics, they would be of little
moment: but when it is considered that
they to-day represent the clearly DOM
mate sentiment of the people of those
sections, it is high time for conservative
tariff men to appreciate the peril of per-
sisting in high war taxes in time Of peace
The greatest peril to the maintenance
of a conservative protective policy is the
abuse of protection in the prostitution
TO monopoly greed by oppressive taxes
on the necessaries Of business and of life.
1t is this gross peryersion of the protec-
tive policy that has driven once protective
New England and the West to the very
verge OF free trade; and it is the recoii Of
public sentiment in those sections that
makes their Democratic and even some
of their Republican Congressman strike
for the most radical tariff reform. Phil

| My Dear Little Boy
Such lovely place as we are inl Oul
hotel is on high point OF land, running
out into Lake Maggiore, and from oul
| windows we can look out on the lake anG
the high hills all around it, with little
| white towns close to the lake, and out o
some of the windows we can see the
can see the garden with its lovely flowers
| and pleasant walks. Yesterday we saw
people selling things in a way you never
saw. They had cloth stretched on poles
making little awnings, and under these
they had their things spread out to sell
Some of the things, like thread and but
tons, were on tables and one woman stood
and sold those; then undersanother avn
ing were calicoes and ginghams unrolled
and laid down on papers right OH the
ground in the street and the women would
come and pull them over and find what
they liked. In another place we saw old
iron things, such as you get together.
spread out, but whether they were buying
from the country people who came in, or
were selling it /, didn't see. And all
about were people seeling fruit. Such
baskets tull of peaches and red and green
plums, tomatoes and vegetables of all
kinds. 1t made ones mouth water to
look at them, and they tasted good, too
for we tried them. q hen, as we had walk
ed quite way, we got man to row us
back in his boat to the hotel. The seats
had white cushions on and had an awning
over it so that, though it was nearly moor,
we didn't feel the hot sun. In the even
ing we went out again and the hotel was
all lit up around the piazzas and the yard
with Chinese lanterns and gas jets burn
ing on the top of the house, so that it
looked very beautiful from the lake; there
was band playing in the yard, too.
They played very pretty music all the
evening, and at last began playing Amer
lea. As socn as we heard that we all got
into the front windows, and when they
were through we clapped our hands as
hard as we could to show them that we
appreciated and liked it, and they played
it again for us.
To-day we went down by the lake and
sat and read and talked and listened to the
waves coming up so gently on the shores,
and picked up handful of pretty stones
for you. There are great many lizards
here. They are little things about as
large as your finger, with long, slender,
straight tail. They move SO quickly that
they are usually gone as quick as you see
them, but one stood quite still to-day
while | looked at him. One that saw
was tiny fellow, baby he must have
been. but he could move as fast as any of
them.
Tomorrow we are going to ride all
day in carriages over the mountains. We
shall see the snow-covered mountains all
day and for several days now, and maybe
we shall be caught out in snow storm.
Wouldn't that be funny thing for Aug
ust? But however beautiful. everything
else may be we shall be sorry to leave this
lovely lake. In little over two weeks
alter you get this we shall see you. Think
many kisses for our darling boy from
PAPA AND MAMMA.

At ono of the clubs one evening Mr..
Montagu Williams met Lord -, who
had just lost his father. The young lord
was naturally melancholy, and the law
yer proposed visiting theater opposite
which proposition WAS accepted. There
was slight fire in the theater, where
upon the young lord was among the first
to bolt, like rabbit" out of the build
ing. Returning leisurely to the club,
Mr.. Williams found there his young
friend quietly smoking a cigar.
What on earth made you bolt that
way? You seemed frightened out Of your
wits mot difficult matter, perhaps).
Don't you know that on such an occa-
sion if everybody got up and rushed
ont panic would ensue, with very likely
fatal consequences? Why on earth
couldn't you sit still, as l did? There
was nothing serious the matter" Upon
this, with the most patronizing air, the
young gentleman replied, "Oh, yes;
that's very well for you, but you've not
just succeeded to a peerage and e20, 900

There is decided novelty about the
idea Of applying magnets to windows to
prevent the rattling of the sashes, but
this can now be done simply and effect
lively. A bar magnet whose two poles
project toward the face Of the sash is
inserted lengthwise in either side of the
window. Fixed rigidly in the window
frames are rods of iron, and the attrac-
ton between the magnets and the iron
rods prevents the play which is usually
the cause of rafting. The consequence
is that the sash need no longer be made
to fit so closely that danpness will cause
1t to swell and become difficult to open.
The power exerted between the magnets
and side rods is just enough to effect the
desired object, while not enough to in
terfere with the easy raising or lowering
of the windows.-New York Recorder.
