II it should prove true that Eugene 5.
Taylor, now serving a life sentence IN
the Massachusetts, State Prison for the
murder of his own child, was innocent
of the crime for which he is in prison it
would open up a field for a novelist far
superior to anything found in the realms
of fiction. Taylor's wife is the woman
arrested at Walpole for alleged
incendiarism and who is now
the centre of interest in a very
celebrated case. THE News, by the way,
was the first paper to publish the news
of this Walpole case, beating all OF its
contemporaries by twelve hours, but
THE NEWS has such a habit of being the
first to publish the news that 1t seldom
refers to its victories in this line.
1t is agreed that Taylor loved his
child dearly, and that he was sober,
industrious, and held the respect
of the community. Since he
has been in prison he has been
a model prisoner and once prevented a
riot among his fellow prisoners by
threatening to brain the first man
who entered his shop.
He pleaded guilty of murder in the
second degree in order to save his neck,
and so strong is the belief in his limo.
cence that a movement is on foot, in the
locality where the alleged crime was
committed, to secure his pardon.

mitted in the attempt to burn her DWELL

cases in the history of American crimi-

AN EXPEDIENCY MEASURE.

If there is an agreement reached by the
tariff conference committee, and if a
tariff bill becomes a law, no one will
pretend that it is a real solution Of the
tariff problem. 1t will be merely a bill
forced through Congress as a matter of
party expediency.
The Democrats are as wide apart on
the tariff question as it is possible TO
conceive. The platform of the Demo-
cratic and the Republican parties are
not more separated than the Democracy
itself.
Party considerations force the Demo-
cracy to unite if possible upon some
kind of a tariff bill. Failure to do SO
will react most ~unfavorably upon them
in the coming elections this fall, and the
leaders know this, and are e~ndeayoring
to get together.
If they succeed and carry
through a bill that meets the
approval of the President, it will be
merely to avoid the condemnation GER
tain to follow their failure. Each side
will have to make sacrifices and each
will make them If they are made with
the idea Of re-opening the case after
eleeiien. Hence a tariff bill passed today
will not mean permanent settlement OF
the tariff problem, but merely a com.
promise for political effect only.
The country must still labor along fear
full of further tariff tinkering, and
business, while it may temporarily re-
vive during this temporary settlement,
can not become permanently prosperous
while permanent conditions do not ex-

SALTWATER NEWS.

More enjoyable exercises have neve
been held in the prison chapel than
those that the convicts were permitted
to listen to yesterday. Every inmate
forgot his surroundings for the time
being. and Joined in the festivities of
the day. Dull care and brooding were
banlshed. and happiness held full sway
for a few hours. At a little after 9
O'Clock the convicts marched from their
cells to the chapel, where the exercises
that followed were impressive and EN-.
PERTAINING. A number of Mrs. Clara
Glsh'S pupils in elocution delivered rec
itations, and the Saltwater Mandolin
club rendered some of its best selections.
Many of the inmates had never heard
mandolin music. and at the close of
every selection there was a general
clapping of hands, and the players re-
sponded to number of encores. Several
very appropriate selections were also
rendered by the prison choir, assisted
by Mrs. Gish's vocal class. At the close
of the chapel exercises the inmates pro-
ceeded TO the paint shop, where they
enjoyed themselves until the whistle
sounded for dinner. The mandolin
club accompanied them to the shop. and
some OF the colored inmates furnished
amusement for all with their dances
and clogs. The dinner served in the
dining rooms was tit for any one, and
the principal delicacies were chicken
pie, light biscuit, cake and coffee with
sugar and milk. The usual holiday
privileges were granted in the after
noon.

led to big dispute, but, rather than let
the race go by default, Mr.. Rohrbach
started his horse in the final heat, and
won by more than length.

Mrs. Lease was no longer connected
with the board. and instructed them to
pay no attention to her orders. Mrs.
Lease last night. however, stated there
would be full meeting at Olathe to-
