A TRIPLE MURDER.
Enraged Husband Kills Wife's
Parents in Michigan.
He Also Shoots His Little Daughter
and Attempts 10 Take His Own
Life-Sequei Of IL Suit for Dt-
vorce - The Murderer Is
Arrested.

Mount Pleasant, Mich, Oct. 17.-As
the bloody sequel of a divorce suit
Archie Woodin, % years old, is under
arrest here, charged with a triple
murder and this community was
shocked yesterday by a bloody ira
gedy in which Mrs. Woodin's parents
and the prisoners 1Smonths-old
daughter were shot and killed. Wood
in was overpowered just as he turned
the weapon upon himself and had in
ficted wound that is not expected
to prove fatal.
He visited the court house Thurs
day morning and looked over the pa
pers in a suit for divorce which his
wife instituted October 10. From
there he went directly to a hardware
store, where he purchased a revol-
yer. There was no interruption in
his career of crime from the moment
his hands let go of the legal papers
in the court house until his yict ms
lay dead in two farm houses six mes
apart. Having secured the weapon
he first rode his wheel to the Gulicl1
farm, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Gulicll be-
ing the first victims. Mr.. Gulick was
shot twice, once above the heart and
once in the right side and was in
stantly killed.
Woodin then turned upon his moth
er-iu-law. who was sitting in a rock
ing chair and shot her in the throat.
She ran into the kitchen and fell up
on her back. Woodin followed and
emptied three chambers of his revol-
yer into her breast, killing her. \
14-year-old daughter of Gulick came
in at the sound of the first shots and
seeing the blood on her mothers
neck, ran to the neighbors and gave
the alarm. While running down the
road she heard the Last three shots.
The murderer then dashed madly
to his mothers home, six miles away.
He rode his wheel for one mile, then
tearing off his coat and throwing it
with his bicycle into fence corner,
ran a mile and half through the
fields. He made the last four miles
on borrowed horse. Passing the
time of day with a group of apple
pickers on his mothers farm, he en-
tered the house as though nothing
unusual had happened and picking up
his little girl carried her into an emp
ty room. In a moment n shot rang
out.
WoOdin's wife was Miss Anna NJ.
Guick and they were married March
%, 1900. Woodin was also in the Gu
ban war At the Jail he refuses to
talk except to express regret that
he failed to kill himself. He was la
boring under the impression that his
wife's parents had caused the divorce
proceedings, though his wife's bill of
complaint charged personal violence.

THE, DIVIDED DEMOCRACY.
Chances for National Success of the
Democratic Party Never
Were Poorer,

According to ex-senator Allen, of Ne
braska. 1.-THE outlook for the national
democratic party was never more
hopeless than it is atthe present time" :"
That astute politician is frightened
and angered over the great number of
democratic states which are re eiecting
or evading the Kansas City platform
and candidate. After looking over the
field with some care he believes that
the general rejection of the latest ma
tional deliverance of the democratic
party by democratic conventions in the
past two or three months ''precludes
the possibility of defeating the repub-
lican party in 1904"
The author of this judgment is
pretty we'll remembered by a large ele-
ment of the voters. says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. He was among the
most strident of the whoopers for
Bryan in 1896 and 1900, and he is a
Bryanite still. He is a populist, or was
in those campaigns, though we believe
he has called himself a democrat re-
Gently. At any rate. he has right
to denounce the faithless democrats
who, in many of the states, are aband-
oning their gospel of the two recent
canvasses and rcpudiating their leader
of those days. Allen shrewdly sees
that this split in the democracy means
the defeat of that party in 1904 1t is
clear from his expressions that he will
not support a man in that year who
rejects the democratic creed of 1900
and 1896.
OF the democratic state conventions
which have been held this year a little
more than half have either rejected
Bryan and the Kansas City platform
utterly or have ignored or evaded
them. The division is so near the mid
die. however. that it is particularly
ominous. The Bryanites retain very
nearly halfof the states. .notwithstand-
ing the frantic efforts of the reorganiZ-
ers in the past - months to etface the
democratic leader of 1896 and 1900.
Probably Bryan viii not be the candi-
date of 1904. The chances. in fact. are
that he will not try to get the nomina-
tion. But he will be powerful factor
in his party in the convention of that
year and in the campaign. Tie pres
emit prospect is that no man who sup
ported Bryan with any sort of enthusi-
asm in either 1896 or 1900 can get the
nomination in 1904. On the other hand,
if anybody should be nominated in 1904
who opposed Bryan. in either year, or
who. like Hill and German. accepted
him in the second of those years and
secretly reioiced when he was defeat
ed, Bryan and a good many powerful
members of his branch of the democ-
racy will take the stump against the
ticket From whatever point the situ-
alton for 1904 is viewed the outlook for
the democracy is dark

THE ISSUE THAT is FOREMOST
Prosperity Is the Keynote of the
Present Campaign, All over
the Country.

The voice of an eastern observer,
who speaks with some authority, has
been raised to remark that there is a
wide difference of opinion among re-
publicans as to what is the foremost t
issue of the present campaign, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
This is a mistake. The foremost is
sue of this campaign is prosperity. 1t
covers and includes all other issues. 1t
is the beginning and end Of them all.
No intelligent republican is blind 10
these facts.
This foremost issue involves reel"
procity with Cuba and other lands, be-
cause. as Mr.. Mckinley declared in his
Buffalo speech. reciprocity is necessary
to keep the wheels of our industry
turning at full speed.
This foremost issue includes also the
preservation of the tariff from any
general revision, because general tariff
revision would disturb the fxity of
conditions that have contributed to
our prosperity and,are necessary tof its
continuance.
questions ofretaining our sovereignty
and our market in the Philippines, and
promoting our commerce in the Pacific
area.
This foremost issue comprehends
the necessity for the early construc-
tion of an isthmian canal on a route
where American control will go hand
in hand with American foreign trade
This foremost issue is wide enough
also to embrace completely President
Roosevelt's policy toward the trusts
policy'calcuIated to prevent the ship
wreck of American enterprise in a de-
luge of imitation, speculation, and debt.
and to hold the nations business and
industry to the recognized lines OF
safety and permanent progress.
This foremost issue is an inh erited
issue. Even as set forth on this day,
it came to President Roosevelt and the
republican party from President Me-
KinIey and his admins tration. IT is as
good and live and strong now as when
the great prosperity president was
with us.
Inthis sign the republican party goes
forth to coDquer, for it is the ign of
signs. and they who march in its light
do not suffer defeat.

PROTECTION is THE WORD.
The Majority of the People Advocate
the Policy That Has Brought
Prosperity.

The Montreal Gazette points out n
condition in this country whose exist
ence the advocates Of tariff abolition
or reduction are ignoring. 1t says, af.
ter remarking that President Roose-
Welt "is anxious that the tariff should
be taken out of politics and its purpose
the protection Of the industries of
the United .States-be made purely a
matter of husiness:"
THE presidents proposal Is found Cupon
the assumption that both of the great
political parties in the United States are
firmly welded to protection, aEGthat wha,-
ever free trade sentiment exists IS of so de-
sultory and insignificant a nature as net
to be entitled to any consideration. In this
he Is quite correct The people of the
United States believe in the protection OF
United States industry as uritedly and as
unanimously az it Is possible for people
to believe in any one thing. Proceeding
from this he points out that being thus
agreed. ii is most uuwiseto every few years
disturb the course of business by tinkerirg
at the tariff with its admitted principle of
protection simply for the sake Of the gain
which may arise to the party In power.
Continual sweeping changes in such a tar
iff, touching so intimately the commercial
interests Of the nation, cannot fail to be dis
astrous."
That the majority of the people of
the United States believes in the pro-
lection of United States industry. ire
spective of the partisan aflIiation of
its individuals. is beyond doubt. says
the Albany Journal, democratic tariff
reduction agitators who believe that
they have the rank and file of their
party at their heels are fooling them
selves. The citizen whose natural in
clination is to vote the democratic
ticket remembers as we'll as his repub-
lican fellow citizen the disastrous re-
suits of the last experiment. with tariff
reduction. and appreciates as we'll the
benefits that have grown out of the
complete restoration of the protective
system. And'he will not let regar rd for
partisan interest overrule his regard
for personal interest and for the inter,
est of the country which he loves.
