VICTIM OF AUTO WRECK.
Machine Plunges from Bridge and Hs
Is Killed-His Companion
Badly Injured.

Rockford, ILL.,, Oct. 24.-George A. Ben
nett, one of the most prominent citi-
zens Of Marengo, Ill.,, was killed in an
automobile accident at Harmony, six
miles southeast of Marengo, Friday
afternoon Robert Willard, his cousin,
who accompanied him, was so severely
injured that his recovery is doubtful.
Mr. Bennett, who was driving the ma
chine, had gone into the country on
business, taking Mr. Willard with him.
On the way they met rural mail wagon.
The mules which the carrier was driV-
ing were afraid of the automobile, and
Mr.. Bennett paid more attention to them
than he did to his machine. He touched
a lever with the intention of stopping
the automobile, but in his confusion
caught the wrong one and turned the
machine sharply to one side and over
a small bridge, the drop being about
ten feet The machine toppled over on
the men. Mr.. Bennett was unconscious
when removed and lived only about one
hour Mr.. Willard was horribly man.
gled about the head and chest. Both
victims of the accident are among the
most widely known residents of the
county. Mr. Bennett was for many
years supreme secretary of the Patrons
of Industry. He entered the United
States mail service some years ago and
at the time of his death was rural route
inspector for northern Illinois.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Fall to Death.

Mr.. and Mrs. Scammon of Minneapo-
lis were fatally injured at l o'clock in
the afternoon by falling to the pave
ment on the Minnesota street side OF
the Germania Insurance building in st
Paul, while giving a demonstration of
u patent fire escape. Dying and still
locked in each others arms, they were
hurried to ST. Joseph's hospital in the
police ambulance.
The fatal accident was caused by
the breaking of slender rope on
which Mr.. Scammon descended alone
from the eighth fooriof the building to
the third. Mrs. Scammon, who had re-
:nained at a third story window OBJ
scure from the view of the crowd
watching the experiment. was elapsed
in her husbands arms with the inten-
ton OF giving an exhibition of a thrill
ing rescue.
AS Mr.. Scammon received his wife
into his arms he nodded his head to
her as if to ask her if everything was
ready for continuance of the descent.
The wife gave quick movement oil
the head as return answer, and as she
did SO the rope gave away at the Sth
story window, where the sharp-edgeo
stone had cut into it from the swaying
of the weight on the lower end. The
man and woman fell to the stone side
walk sixty feet below.

ner," in youth used to the quiet and SIM
plicity of the Alsatian hill country, pro-
test and suggestion for better way OF
spending life; but doubtless it is matter
of surprise to him he should have reached
a public of such size and Importance as
he has within a short twelvemonth. To-
day the man whose chief JOY has been
nature and quiet woodland strolls, is
called upon to address thousands, to
travel from one large center to another,
to speak day after day in crowded rooms.
Not that this is altogether new work
for our visitor. From the simple begin
ming of his little church OF 1885 Pasteur
Wagner's congregation has grown to be
one of the largest in Paris. 1t is COM
posed of men from all classes, working
man and idle rich, Jew and Gentle,
Protestant and Catholic, for this French
Protestant has made an appeal to PARIS
at large, to French free-thinker and
Catholic as we'll as the Protestant.
Charles Wagner was born in 1852 in Al
SAGE, his father poor country parson,
the grandfather before him a parson.
"A
kindly people, lived a free, wholesome,
outdoor life. He speaks thus OF this
period: Brought up in a village, among
peasants who were honest, intelligent,
Woodworking, and full of natural piety,
enamored of the fields, of the WOODS, OF
the springs, of the transparent brooks,
and of the wild strawberries, independ-
emit. without the shadow of constraint
upon my young life, and, except for few
hours of study, always in the open air
and on the country ways"
When IA years of age his guardians
sent him to complete his studies in Paris,
change that was very bitter one to the
country lad, and which made such an
impression upon him that the feeling
was to find expression later on in his at
tacks on artificial life. Paris has been
yariously described, but seldom after
this fashion: Paris, great Paris; first,
the thick ramparts, then walls, walls,
walls. houses of prodigious height, and
strips only of sky visible from the streets
below! What an abode for the rustic,
what a cage for the free bird of the Lor-
| raine forest. When was in the
midst of this smoke, this noise, this hub
bub of vehicles, this mob of pedestrians
this orgy of buildings, my heart stopped
beating 1t seemed to me that it was al
ways night, and that all These unknown

Found Dead.

Death came to well known young
woman of Crookston very myteriously.
Miss Anna Nelson was the victim, and
the peculiar circumstances have been
investigated as thoroughly as possible.
She had spent several months in
Beltrami, and returned to the city, re
pairing to the home of A. Vikjord. At
ter spending a pleasant evening with
the family, she retired to her room.
She did not come down to breakfast,
and she did not appear at dinner the
family lughingly excused her by say
ing thatshe must have been very tired
from her long journey. At supper
time genuine alarm was felt, and TAX
ing down the door, they found her on
the bed, cold in death. her face buried
in a pillow and her hands elapsed
around her knees. At the autopsy it
was decided that she passed away in a
convulsion.

and how he not infrequently follows the
body of poor person to its last resting
place, marching the long miles to the
city burying-ground.
The author of ten books, but three are
we'll known in this country: THE Sim
pie Life" "The Better Way" and by
the Fireside." The former has made the
strongest appeal, preaching, as it does,
the refreshment of simplicity for which
the burdened world just now seems to
hunger. He tells us the more needs, the
more desires we have, the more quarrel
some we become, and points out that
though fighting for bread is natural
law, fighting for the superfiuous Is
another thing. He pleads for simple
thoughts, simple words, simple needs,
simple pleasures, simple beauty. And,
with strong hopefulness, he assures US
simplicity is not a vanished good.
In his book, by the Fireside," he
makes entreaty for the home as center
of happiness, and argues conyincingly
that however so humble there is no place
like home. But he argues also from the
standpoint of one acquainted with slum
life, one who knows and feels for the
poor, and bids the complacent and indif-
ferent think when he asks: How is
true home possible where one room must
be put to all kinds of service, and there
is no place for rest or solitude or relaxa
tion?" He touches on the vexed servant
problem in his plea that master remem-
Der man is of the same clay as himself:
BE sure that no one is altogether cook
or a coachman; all the cooks and coach
men are human beings. Interest your
self in this being. To serve people who
are of no service themselves Is democrat
izing. In preparing meals for hard
working master, backing the boots of
physician, brushing the garments of a
thinker, lighting the fire for a busy trav-
eler returned from long journey, there
is charm and inspiration. To feed, dress
and amuse idlers is not a trade for a
man."
Pasteur Wagner is big, tall, broad
| shouldered, breathes out optimism-a
welcome reactionist from the pessimism
and lack of faith of the day He stands
for strength, saneness, kindness, the
gospel of simple joy for all, within the
reach of all. Sunday after Sunday he
leads companies of people from the poor
| districts of the town out into the fields
and imparts his enthusiasm to the COM
rades about him. Believing in regener-
alton through nature. he breaches it to
rich and poor alike.

But the country lad found in the city
the very field for his peculiar ability
His love for nature was equaled by-as
some one has phrased it-a passion for
humanity, and presently obscure corners
of Paris, as we'll as church and secular
platform, found in him force ever on
the side of morality, ever championing
the poor and lowly. AS for his public
services, he has been instrumental in
bringing about various much-needed re-
forms in the great city; his lectures to
workingmen have led to the establish
ment of workingmen's circles and
churches; through his influence the Pop
ular university has arisen and done so
much to give the common people educa-
tional opportunities; he has labored
zealously to make the public school
buildings centers for social betterment.
In his methods Pasteur Wagner is not
aggressive, but pacific, and for this rea-
son has been able to win the approval
and friendship of the prejudiced Cath
Ollie, the prejudiced free-thinker. In ad-
dition to his public work he devotes much
time to individual help; visits the rich
in their homes if his services are en-
treated there, but most of all loves to
be of cheer to the lowly. The papers
have mentioned how even the unfriended
dead come in for share of his sympathy,

what they gave the state:
Two grand prizes.

Seventeen bronze medals.

TIE CAMPAIGN GLEE CLUB.

with their conventions and candidates.
There were no spellbinders under con-
tract to deliver so many speeches in so
many places. Those were the days
when the young nation was learn
ing its first lessons in politics. There
were sharp and bitter contests, there
were great questions of policy at issue,
in fact as far as these things and some
others go, a presidential election to-day
means the same as it did when the Mad
n-Pinckney-Clint contest OF 1908,
or the Jackson-AdamsC contest of
1928 occupied the attention of the peo-
pie. but it was not until the campaign or
1910, when Gen. William Henry Harri-
SON contended for political honors with
Martin an Buren, that there was strik-
ing development in campaign methods
This contest has been declared to have
been the most unique in the political
history of the country. 1t marked the
introduction of the campaign singer, and
gave birth to a new class of campaign
orators. All these features appealed to
the masses of the people and this was
really the first national campaign in
which the people took intense interest
both in the cities of the east, the prairies
of the west and the savannas of the
south. The democrats, in attempting to
belittle Gen. Harrison, declared that he
lived in "log cabin" and drunk hard
cider The whig party was quick to
grasp an idea that could be used to the
advantage of it's candidate, and instead
of resenting these expressions, it at once
took up the log cabin as one of the
great illustrative features of the con-
test. and when the battle reached its
zenith, and the people gathered by thou
sands at mass meetings, the log cabin
was always in the procession as the
symbol of simplicity of the party can
didate for president. The campaign
song became a popular feature, and
everywhere could be heard the strains of
.'Tippecanoe and Tyler, too"
Just who invented the campaign

but this spectacular and imposing fea-
ture of tie campaigns gradually crept
into favor, especially with the beardless

Parker Speaks on Tariff.

Esopus, N. Y, Oct 24-In a speech on
the tariff issue Saturday Judge Parker
replied to remarks on that subject from
men representing six distinct New York
delegations which were received at
Rosemount. The delegations were from
the Harlem Democratic club, Central
Parker Independent club, West Side
Parker Independent club, Reform club,
Business Mems Parker and Davis asso-
citation and the New York State League
of Parker and Davis clubs. In reply to
the delegations Judge Parker said in
part:
"Inasmuch as the law puts the tariff
benefits exclusively in the hands of the
capitalist and provides no means for
giving the wage worker his share, the
system virtually says: Let the govern
ment take care of the rich and the rich
will take care of the poor. 1t is short
step then to say let the government take
care of everybody, doctrine abhorred
of all sound thinkers. But it is not true
that greatly enlarged profits are on that
account divided among the workmen
helping to produce them. The advance
in wages is not due as rule to de-
sire on the part Of the employer to
share profits with the workmen, but
rather to the organization of the work
men,"

youths who, while they did not have a
vote, could wear the gaudy uniform and
bear the torch and the campaign ban
ners and drum the drum and bugle the
bugles and shout the catchy phrases
praising their candidate and ridiculing
the leader of the opposing party. The
marching club reached the zenith of it's
power in the Cleveland-Blaine cam
paign, and the republican party swung
its uniformed columns into line in every
section of the country. Small indeed
was the town that could not muster it's
torchlight brigade. Lacking, most GER
tainly, was the mass meeting, at least in
the eyes of the public, that was not pre-

ceded by the parade, with its accom-
panying music of fife and drum or bugle
corps
Barbecues have always had peculiar
charm for the hungry public, and the en-
thusiasm with which the multitude5
gather upon such occasions is indicative
of a craving not so much for political
knowledge as for the yiands which go to
refresh the inner man. The barbecue
has always had stronger hold upon the
south than the north. 1t may almost be
called a democratic institution. But l
think it has come to be generally recog-
nized that because one partakes with
genuine relish of the good things at a
democratic or republican barbecue is no
sign that the ballot cast at the election
will bear the same stamp as the food.
Modern invention has had much to do
With shaping the features of the CAM
paigns, and the button era began several
years ago, when machinery was made
that would turn them out cheaply by the
hundreds of thousands. The develop
ment of the railroads of the country has
had much to do with campaign meth
DDS, and the specials carrying the speak
ers from ocean to ocean and from the
lakes to the gulf have been feature Of
almost every campaign since in tho
eighties. Mr. Bryan made the most re-
markable tour of the country ever un-
dertaken and successfully carried out by
any candidate or political speaker. A
remarkable feature of the Mckinley
Bryan campaigns was the pilgrimages
which were made on fast specials to Can
ton, O.. by republican clubs and BUSH
