Low Politics in High Places.

1t is weilknown among the well
Informed, that the Chicago Times
Herald and its proprietor, Ii. ii.
Kohlsaat, have been staunch sup
porters of Mr.. Mckinley, and did
more to promote his nomination
for the presidency than any other
newspaper influence in the country.
The Times II erald has for the
past two years without ceasing in
sisted that William Mckinley was
the greatest man living and the
equal OF any who have died leaving
an Inheritance to history. But now
it. is frantic in its exertions to in.
duce the president 10 become Il
politician. 1t is urging him to in
tervene in the Cuban war. Here is
one Of the grounds upon which il
urges the president TO put stop to
the Spanish war in Cuba:
"Let President Mckinley hesi
tate to rise to the just expectations
of the American people in regard
to Cuba, and who dare doubt that
"war for Cuban liberty" will be the
crown of thorns,; the free silver
Democrats and Populists will adopt
as the elections this fall? And
who can doubt that by that sign
held aioft and proclaimed by such
magnetic orators as William j
Bryan they will sweep this country
like cyclone?
In such Il campaign, organized
nnder such leadership, the war
Rpirit wonld be inflame to such -
degree that all other issues would
he ignor, Congress in both it,
branches would fall into the hands
Of the free silver Democracy.
The president would be pow er.
less to stay any legislation, how.
ever ruinouS to every sober, honest
interest Of the country.
Cold imagination cannot picture
the possibilities for national dis.
h'.H"r that lie in the triumph Of the
Democracy through such cam.
paigu Of passion ard convulsion
M, the United States cannot
atfIrd lu let The settlement of the
Cuban question wait.
The possibilities Of furi her delay
are too momentouS 10 justify fur
ther consideration Of the rights OF
Spain. Our duty to ourselves
transcends our consideration for II
nation that has been tried and
found both barb irpu1 and impot-
ent.
The time is up, aud the final step,
however crtly, must be taken, and
will be taken by President McKin-
ley,i he would avui the Cuban
periIs that hover over his party
and his county.

Jahn y. Eng,e. Dead.
rho sudden and Mysterious Death or
One CT Hocking's Prominent
Farmers.

On Thursday afternoon there
came the startling news to Logan
that John S. Engle living four
miles west OF Logan had taken sud.
denly sick after eating breakfast
and suffered violent spasms until
one o'clock in the afternoon when
death came to his relief. His sick
ness gave evidence to the doctors
of poisoning and thus an inquest
was held in the evening with
squire j. NJ. Floyd presiding. The
writer was present at the inquest
and the post mortem reveiled the
startling fact Of poisoning by
strychnine. The story of the in
quest as testified by Frank Eogle, n
son, is that in the morning he and
his father who slept in adjoining
rooms up stairs were called to
breakfast and repairing down stairs
together in the usual good spirits,
they went to the kitchen where
the father poured out little
uuiniUe in his hand and took it, re-
marking that he had cold. They
sat down to breakfast where the
coffee was poured out and cCm-
menced eating. The father drank
few swallows Of his coffee and re-
marked 20 his wife that it tasted
like the cream was sour, and he
got up from the table and threw
the coffee remaining, out of his
cup. His wife asked him what
was the matter with it. He said 1t
had a skum on it and didn't taste
right, and asked her to fill up the
cup again which she did and he
finished his breakfast. Shortly
after breakfast he was taken with
violent spasms and died as above
stated.
The affair is strange, startling
and unfortunate one. There has
been domestic troubles between
wife and husband for some time,
though they have lived together
forty or more years and reared a
large family who are all married
and gone from home except one
boy who is fourteen or more years
of age, and the father aad mother
are near 60 years of age and yet
misunderstanding have crossed
their path in after years of married
| life which may have resulted in
this awful event Of yesterday. The
V rlirt of the coroner has not yet
be en r, ndered nor will it be until
Monday of reXt. week, hut the
writ, having heard the investiga.
| tiun is able to fLre tell the awful
truth that will be made public.
We have the deepest sympathy
for the sons whom are well known
in business circles in Logan. / is
an awful calamity to have befallen
them, but they are men of strong
character and intelligence and will
bear their burden of sorrow with
fortitude. Their friends mourn
with them in this their trying hour.
Mr.. Engle was one o:our staunch,
good farmers. Was ever jolly and
gentlemanly among his fellow
men. We saw him on our streets
Wednesday of this week, and he
portrayed no marks Of home
trouble, but met and joked with us
in his usual jovial way.
The funeral will take place al
Antioch church near Enterprise OF
Sunday morning at 10 O'clock.

How to Find Out

Fill bottle or common glass
with urine and let il stand twenty
four hours; q sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition
OF The kidneys. When urine stains

to urinate, or pain in the back, is
also convincing proof that the kid

There is comfort in the kpowl-

A GREAT VICTORY.

The republicans of this territory, this county, this town of Phoenix hare reason to feel proud. Returns from the territory at large indicate the election Of Col. Brodie by q small, but safe ma jor!ty. Supposed strongholds Of Gc- mocracy have declared fer the repub- Iican candidate for delegate to congress ana for statehood. The republican ticket of Maricopa county has bee0 elected. While the returns are as yet incomplete. tke figures available show republican gains all along the line.
 When the figures of 1926 are taken into consideration the extent Of the republican victory becomes more start fng. Mark Smith polled 6,065 vote., or 1,975 more than A. J. Doran, and 2.I70 more than Bucley O'Nei1. Now cones Gel. Alexander o. Brcdie with vets enough, on the face CT the returns to offset Smiths Big ma jority and still give him 2 comfortable lead over his opponent. No1 in many years has there been a closer contest The very closeness Of the vote makes it harder for the democrats to give up and they may be cxp2o.ed to claim the election of Wilson, but if fair me5hoes prevail in the count the complete returns will show that Col. Brodie has tciunphed against tre- mendous odds.
 While, prior to the election, the re- pu5licans expressed tte greatest con fdence in the outcor,e they were i'm pressed with the magnitude of their task and made no secret among them selves cG .the difficulties that lay in their way. They knew that the en- ery had plenty Of funds and that the fight would be bitter cae. The pro- ceedirgs yesterday in Phoenix and elsewhere in tae territory attasted to the desperation of the democrats. With them it was anything to gain a vote" ard they left no stone unturned in the attempt to elect their men. Nothing but the patriotism Of the peo- pie could have withstood their well or ganized assault.
 In Maricop2 county the struggle was unusually fierce. Every possible point was contested. h eIecting their county ticket the republicans Of Maricopa have every reason to be joyful. Their v:ctcry means much to the county. The effec. Of the republican victory will be felt in quarters where Arizona needs strong friends. It cannot fail to bring us statelcod and ths benefits
 accrue frcm statehood.
