A PLACE FOR CORTELYOU.
Congressman Hepburn Says That President
Roosevelt's Secretary viii BE Head OF
Department Of Commerce.

Washington, Sept. 15.-Representa-
tive Hepburn, Of Iowa, chairman OF
the house committee on interstate
and foreign commerce, said Saturday
he would return to Washington be-
fore congress convenes and take up,
with the executive departments, the
subjects Of controversy in connec-
ton with the proposed new depart
ment Of commerce. The creation OF
this department was postponed at
the recent session Of congress be-
cause it was thought advisable that
there should be further considera-
ton of the proper bureaus to be
incorporated. 1t is believed that
President Roosevelt will designate q
committee from the different de-
partments to consult with Mr.. Hep
burn as to the bureaus that are re-
lated to the work to be placed un-
der the proposed department. The
understanding is that the house will
pass the bill, which has the support
of the president.
Representative Hepburn says there
is no doubt that Secretary Cortelyou
Is to be the head Of the new depart
ment. The president long ago de-
cided that, when this opportunity
came to have Mr.. Cortelyou enter
the cabinet, he should tender him
the place.

ACCIDENT AT A SYNAGOGUE.

People Fell

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 16.--While
200 people were struggling to get
into the New Sons of Zion synagogue
to witness the dedicatory exercises
the temporary steps leading to the
entrance suddenly gave way and
the people fell in heap. Men and
women scrambled and fought to get
out of the mass and 1t was only by
prompt effort that a panic was
Nerted. The police platoon, which
led the procession to the church,
broke ranks and rushed into the
crowd, preventing frantic men, wom-
en- and children from crushing one
another in the scramble to get out.
When quiet was restored it was
found, except for few who were
bruised and cut, no one had been IA

Any one who has Travelled through
the comparatively treeless countries
around the Mediterranean, su.h as
Spain, Sicily, Greece, northern Africa,
and large portions of Italy, may fer.
vently pray that our own country may
be preserved from so dismal a fate.
1t Is not the loss of the forests only
that Is to be dreaded, but the loss of
agricultural regions now fertile and
populous, which may be so desolated
by the floods that rush down from
bare hills and mountains, bringing
with them vast quantities of sand and
gravel to be spread over the lowlands.
Travelling a few years ago through
Tunisle, l came suddenly upon fine
Roman bridge of stone over a wide,
bare, dry river bed. 1t stood some 80
feet above the bed Of the river, and
had once served the needs Of pros
porous population. Marveling at the
height of the bridge above the ground,
| asked the French stationmastef II
the river ever rose to the arches which
carried the roadway of the bridge.
His answer testified to the flooding
capacity of the river and to the
strength Of the bridge. He said: II
have been here four years, and three
times l have seen the river running
over the parapets Of that bridge"
That country was once one Of the
richest granarles Of the Roman en-
pire. 1t now yields scanty support
for a sparse and seml-barbarous popu-
latlon. The whole region roundabout
Is treeless. The care Of the national
forest Is a provision for future genera
tlons for the permahence over vast
areas Of our country of the great in-
dustries Of agriculture and mining, Ap-
on which the prosperity Of the country
ultimately depends. A good forest ad-
ministration would soon support itself,
but should be organized In the inter-
ests Of the whole country, no matter
what It cost.-Atlantic Monthly.

" unOLESALE POISONING.
4 Farmer Applies Paris Green to Kill
Worms on His Cotton and It Causes
Seven Pk,kers' Deaths.

Paris, Tex, Sept. IA report has
been received here Of wholesale
poisoning which is said to have oc-
cured in the Kiamichi valley, I. T.
A farmer recently applied Paris green
to the cotton in his fields where the
warns were doing damage. There
had been but little rain since the
Paris green was applied. Three or
four days ago seven cotton pickers,
four men and three women, went to
work in the patch where the poison
had been applied. Late in the even
ing they became sick and during the
night all of them were reported to
have died. Their deaths was said to
have been caused by inhaling the
dust from the poison.

from any Of the principal corn states
and except those of the south ant

report condition averages in excess
of their respective averages for the
last ten years. Notwithstanding its
marked decline during August, Kan
sas reports a condition Of 81, or 2.
points above its ten-year average

sofa by 9, 4 and 3 points respectively
The crop, however, is so late that
throughout the entire northern por-
tion of the belt predictions OF more
than an average crop are invariably
made contingent upon the immediate
advent and continuance for some
DAYS of the most favorable conditions
Of weather.
The average condition at harvest
Of winter and spring wheat COM

from the states ten-year average,
while Pennsylvania and California
report s points below the ten-year
average, Iowe IL points and Kansas
a condition Of 40, 90 points below the
ten-year average Of the state.
The average condition of oats when
harvested was S7.2, against 72.1 last
year, $40 in 1900 and ten-year av-
erage of 1917. While correspondents
report the harvesting of an excep-
tionally large crop Of oats, there are
indications that the crop will be very
deficient in point Of quality. This,
however, will be more fully reported
upon in December, when the final
returns as to yield per acre are

that a heavy frost fell Thursday

EXECUTIONS ARE PUBLIC.
PARiSlAMS FLOCK TO SEE AND

4 Morbid Desire to See Human Blood
Shed. which Can Result
In NO Good TO
the People.

her offensive functions, among them
her executions Of death sentence BY

able space was nlled with a vulgar.
glblng crowd, many Of the company
having gone to the square early In the
night In order to secure good places.
The Saxon counties have long since
abolished the spectaculy and the pub
lic In such occurrences as this. Grim
inals have no chance to bid for the
cheap fame that makes other criminals
and secures maudlln and hysteric sym.
pathy by posing and declaiming when
they desired exit from the world. Our
executions take place In Jail corridors,
screened from view even Of the pris-
oners, and the only spectators are
few functionarles, official witnesses,
and reporters. In New York the plan
Is still better, as the killing Of the
criminal Is accomplished in a small
room In which the attendance Is nec-
esarlly limited, and Is not accompan.
led by anything Of the theatrical or
sensational.
The motive that gathers the rough
element Of Paris to see fellow-creat-
ure deprived Of his life Is not appre-
ciably better than that Of the Roman
populace that went to the Colosseum
to see the gladiators kill one another.
Indeed, it was hardly so worthy, be-
cause the gladiator had in his skill
and strength chance for his life,
whereas the criminal has no more
chance Of 1t than has the OK In the
shambles. 1t Is simply a wish to see
blood, to see a death. 1t Is a morbid
and unworthy desire, and no good
comes Of 1t. When executions were
public In England crime was more
general than 1t Is today, $50 that the,
