1t should continue to be marked with cour-
tesy. Each of the aspirants is worthy of
support, and it will not make any one of
them more worthy for his friends to assail
his competitors. Besides. it will not win for
any candidate vote for his friends to at
tack his opponents. In fact, such a pro-

win support. Let the contest be earnest, but

1.-THE Adventures of Captain Kettle by
Cutcliffe-Hyne, is book with some sort OF
a thrill on every page Mr. Cutcliffe-Hyne
excels as a dispenser of thrills, as any one
familiar with his short story work knows.
Those who like stories of adventure will be
delighted with Captain Kettle, for the au-
thor takes him through storm, battle, ship
wreck, fire and flood with no unnecessary
waste of space in telling how his hero got
where the trouble is located. He is dropped
into all parts of the world, the story-teller
airily CLOSING over the features of his get
ting there by saying that the details will
not be interesting. In this respect Mr.. Cut
cliffe- Hyne has shown good judgment for
book, and there is plenty of action and Of
fine description. all of which are handled in
the reader that it is the truth. The book is
worth reading. Doubleday Mcclure Com

sovereignty and the establishment of an
other should be a period of more or less
turbulence and lawlessness. Even in the
United States and the history of our own
people there have been times and places
where iawlessness and violence have held
full sway pending the establishment of law
and order and the supremacy of govern
ment- There were localities in the United
States where lawlessness reigned for years
after the close of the revolutionary war.
While the war lasted the Cowboys" and
the 'Skinners.' two rival bands of marau-
ders and cattle thieves, robbed respectively
the Wing and Tory families of the period,
and they continued to live by plumber for
some time after the war closed. For many
years "the frontier" was a refuge for BAN
ats who preferred the free and easy habits
of the war period to those of peace. Long
afterwards the Southwest was the paradise
of outlaws. Jean LATTE continued his career
of piracy along the gulf coast and the
mouths of the Mississippi river until after
the war of 1872. and his settlement of out
laws on the coast of Texas was not broken
up till 1921. Thirty years later Texas was
still a place where government existed only
in name. Fugitives from justice were ma
jority, and 1.-THE best man. was he who had
committed the most crimes with impunity.
For years after the annexation of Texas
there was more lawlessness there than there
is ever likely to be in Cuba. No doubt there
have been many mining camps in the United
States of which the same might be said, in
proportion to their population. So it will be
seen we have had our times, places and eras
of lawlessness, but they have always yield
ed finally to American methods and have
been succeeded by law and order.
1t will be the same in Cuba and Porto
Rico. At present there is no established
government there, and the inevitable result
is unrest and lawIessness. This condition
may last some time 1t is pretty certain
to continue during the transition period and
until American authority mas completely
displaced Spanish Then the process of es-
tablishing law and order will begin, and,
while it may seem to proceed slowly at first,
there can be no doubt of the outcome.
American ideas and methods will prevail,
and the fruits of liberty and local self-gov-
eminent will begin to appear and be appre-
ciated by the people. This may take some
time, but it will surely come

to be eaten leaf by leaf" In this case the
ambitions Of princes and the interests Of the
people have, fortunately, tended In the same
direction, and their work is now perfected
in the glory of their house and the freedom
of the state. The picturesque side Of the
development OF this remarkable dynasty IS
the theme of The Romance Of the House
of Savoy by Alethea Wiel. The work deals
mainly with the element Of romance that
runs through the history of the house OK
Savoy. The author first places before the
reader in the introductory chapter snort
and concise history Of the house from It's
earliest times down to the present day, and
then, in the body of the work, eniarges upon
the chief personages. who by the greatness
and picturesqueness of their lives, appeal
most to the Imagination. The author deals
principally with tire an scdotal character ana
the personal doings and experiences or
princes and princesses rather than with their
political lives. fhe period embraced is from
the beginning of the tenth century 10 the
early part of the sixteenth. and as per-
sonal history of the great Italian house dur.

The testimony which the commission to in
veshgate the conduct of the war has taken
the past week shows the diversity of opin-
ION that exists among those who testify con-
corning the same subject. The most COM
plant comes from those who had no end
OF sympathy and no sort of experience. The
reports Of the latter got into the newspa-
pers. Army officers of experience found lit
lie to complain about at Santiago and
Wikon for the reason that they know what

men from a fighting campaign. There is
no doubt that much Of the trouble has come
from a sympathy which as General Young

nesses Is that the friends Of soldiers were
not permitted to see their sick at Wikoff.

The Spanish peace commissioners seem to
have consumed a large amount of time and
paper in expounding the meaning of certain
words in the protocol. as they understand
them. The protocol says: THE United
States will occupy and hold the city, bay
and harbor of Manila pending the conclu-
sion of treaty of peace which shall de-
termine the control disposition and gov
eminent of the Philippines" The Spanish
hair-splitting has been over the meaning of
the words control and disposition" TO
the American mind the two words together
embrace the whole idea of sovereignty. but
the Spaniards have been insisting on a

as broad or strong. They will probably be
made to understand that the United States
language is good enough for Americans.

1t is not the purpose of the Journal to
notice the observations or criticisms of the
Evening Taggart Organ, but it may be we'll
to suggest that its master and his associates
would probably be obliged if it should not
be led by its zeal to be superserviceable in
referring to the late campaign. When it
says that the Journal supported candidates
against whom there were charges, it can
be replied that if all the charges made
against the Republican candidates were
true, the official records of the candidates
of its master were so damning that those
against the former were of no account.
Taggartism in Marion county stands for
about everything that is bad in public af-
fairs. Consequently the wisest thing the
organ can do for it's master is to observe
discreet silence on all topics that are liable
to provoke odious comparisons.

A new edition is put lshed of "A Childs
History of England by Charles Dickens.
The book has what might be called d per-
sonal history. In 1S43 when Dickens's old
est boy had reached the mature age of five
years, the father, eager to start him right
as a young Englishman, undertook to write
a history of England for him, intending to
print it. He did not finish the work and it
was never printed in that form. Several
years later, when he had eight children,
he resumed the unfinished task, changing
its scope somewhat and it was published
as serial in Household Words, running at
irregular intervals from January, 1851, to
December, 1853. A little later it was pub
lished in book form. The merits of the work
are too well known to call for comment. 1t
is the best history of England for children.
Its adaptation 20 their needs lies in its live
ly narrative form, and the plcturesqueness
of many of the scenes which it presents.
and its many generous and frank passages
interpretative of character. The special
merit of this edition lies in the illustrations
by Clifton Johnston, which were all made
especially for the book on the scene of the
events described The famous old towns,
battleields. catbedrals and castles are
shown just as they exist to-day. These
illustrations contribute materially to the in
terest of the text, and, by showing many
places worth visiting, make a unique CONF
bination of history and travel In typo
graphical and other respects the work is in
attractive form. Houghton, Miffiin & Co.

The point which Mr.. Potts made at Sat

Club about making improvements where
they are not needed, in the interest of con-
tractors only is an excellent one. Too much
Of that has been done the past two or three
years, particularly in Republican localities.
1t would be well to limit the improvements,
as Mr. Potts suggested, to a certain per-
centage of the value of the property. Not
a few people in the city have lost what
they have paid on homes or lots because
the Improvements have cost % per cent. or
more of their real value. The declaration
of j. c. Adams to the effect that a lot in
North Indianapolis worth $50 should not
pax as much for the construction of trunk
sewer as lots covered with buildings which
bring large income is sound That is one
of the inequalities of the charter, and it has
imposed upon many owners of little homes

Empress Elizabeth of Austria Killed
by Assassin,
ACT OF A BRUTAL ANARCHIST.

GENEVA, Switzerland, Sept, 1.-THE
Empress Elizabeth OF Austria was as
sassinated here Saturday afternoon by
an italian anarchist. She was stabbed
with a stiletto. Her Majesty was
walking from her hotel TO tho landing
place OF the steamer at about o'clock
when the anarchist suddenly up.
preached and stabbed her to tho heart.
The empress fell, got up again, and
was carried to the steamer uncon-
scious. The boat started but, seeing
tho empress had not recovered consci-
BUSINESS, the captain returned and the
emperess was carried to tho Hotel
Beaurivage, where she expired.
The murderer Is man named Luc-
choni. He was born in Paris Of Ital :
ian parents.
The prisoner offered no resistance.
He even sang as he walked along, say
ing: II did IT," and "She must DO
dead" At the police station he de.
clared that he was Shaving anarch-
list, with no hatred for the poor, but
only for the rich"
Later, when taken TO the court house
and Intercepted by magistrate, he
pretended not TO know French and re-
fused TO answer questions. The police
on searching him found document
showing his name to be Luigi Laochi-
nj, born in Paris in 1874, and an Ital-
ian soldier.
II appears that boatman noticed
three persons closely following the en-
press, who was making purchases in
the shops.
The assassin, while being interro-
gated by the magistrate, said he came
TO Geneva with the intention Of killing
the Duo d'orleans, but the latter had
already left.
Luccesi Tor LaochinD followed the
duke TO Evian, about twenty-five miles
north OF Geneva, on the lake, where he
was again unsuccessful.
He then returned to Geneva and
learned from the papers Of the pres
ence OF the Austrian empress. Friday
he logged her footsteps, but found no
opportunity to carry out his purpose,
though he watched the Hotel Bivage
all day.
Saturday afternoon about half past
1, he said, he saw the valet of the EN-.
press leaving the hotel and going to-
ward the landing, He inferred from
this that the empress was going to
take the steamboat, and he hid himself
behind tree on the quay, with the
file concealed in his right sleeve
In few minutes the empress, nc
companied by her lady Of honor, ap
peared and the assassin struck the Ale
home.
Luccesi confessed that no had been
an anarchist since he was 10 years old
"If all anarchists did their duty, 81
I have done mine," he said, bourgeois
society would soon disappear"
He admitted that he knew the crim'
was useless, but said he committed 4
for "the sake of example,"
In spite of minute searching, thu
weapon Of the murderer has not beer
found.
