MR.. FAIRBANKS LETTER.

Senator Fairbanks has made public
his letter accepting the republican nomi-
aation for Vice. President in which be
says
Thirty treaties have been concluded
and proclaimed and stand to the credit
of the administration. 1--WE are with
out an ally and without an enemy"
A revision OF tariff duties should be
made only when conditions have so
changed that the public interest de-
mands their alteration, and they should
be so revised as to preserve and not de-
stroy the protective principle.
The law, which was regarded as in.
effective by a democratic administra-
ton, has been invoked by the President
against combination in restraint of
wholesome commerce, and it has been
upheld by the courts.
The republican party has been es-
sentially the guardian of the financial
credit of the country and the steadfast
supporter of sound currency.
The gold standard is no more "irre'
vocabIy established" than are our tariff
schedules. The one may be changed as
readily as the other.
The administration in the Philip.
pines y has been in conformity with
the best traditions of the republic.
We are grstifed that sectional diff
ferences have disappeared and that
fraternal spirit pervades the people of
all sections of the country Repnbli-
can policies are as broad as our country's
needs. They are neither sectional nor
racial in their generous design.

Car Blown to Pieces.

An outward-bound Boston electric car
was blown to pieces at o clock last night
in Melrose, Mass. Nine persons were
killed outright, several fatally injured,
and at least Is severely hurt, 1t is
thought that the car struck charge of
dynamite left on the track. The front
dashboard of the car was hurled more
than 50 feet. The immediate vicinity
presented a fearful spectacle. Theground
was strewn with legs, arms and other
portions of human bodies. So great was
the force of the explosion that two nlen
standing in the door of store so feet
away were severely injured by the flying
pieces, while every window within a
radius of quarter of a mile was broken.
The car contained mostly workingmen on
their way to their homes in Melrose, but
among the dead was a woman and her
babe. At O'Clock last night but few
of the dead had been identified, while
in the confusion it was impossible at the
time to obtain list of the injured When
the rescuers reached the scene of the sc-
cident the sight was appalling. The
ground was covered with torn and msng-
led bodies ofthe dead and writhing forms
of the injured. Within IS minutes after
the accident a crowd of 1000 or 5000
persons gsthered about the scene. Rela-
tives and friends of victims were rushing
about endeayoring TO find the missing
ones, while others, suspecting some of
their families might have been on the
car, were equally excited. The police
had but one theory as to the accident,
which is that.isome person had inten-
tionally or carelessly left a large stick of
dynamite on the track.

ONE OF the tOrtures inflicted upon
King Peter at the coronation ceremonies
in Belgrade yesterday was the placing
upon his head of a crown made OF gun
metal and weighing thirteen pounds.
He was compelled tOwear this weighty
mead gear during the enactment OF most
of the tedious numbers of the GROWING
programme. 1t is said by those who
witnessed the proceedings that the
weight of the crown caused the king s
head at times to sway from side to side
as the procession emerged from the
church and proceeded to the palace.
King Peter has experienced much to
make his life miserable since he became
King of Seryia, and the indiction of the
iron crown is suggestive of one of the
tricks played upon Sancho Panza as
Governor of Barataria. when his atten-
dauts strapped two large-sized metallic
targets on the renowned squire and made
him q prominent figure in mimic war.

Ten Times Tilted.

Philadelphia, Sept. % -Haying refus-
ed for the tenth time to entertain his pro-
posel of marriage, Martha Dodd, 10
year-old girl, on Tuesday evening was
an unwilling witness Of an attempt on the
part of her 17-year.old admirer to end
his life. The boys name is Elmer
Downs. As he tossed on his cot in the
Episcopal Hospital, yesterday, after
three bullets had been extracted from
his lungs, he raved over the girl whose
determined refusals inspired him to seek
death. The two met by appointment
in Mcpherson Square. Martha, he
asked, "won't you become engaged to
me?" "YOu know that my parents
have forbidden you ever to speak Of
that again" was the reply of the girl.

THE INCREASED troubles between
whites and blacks in the South are to be
regretted. Hardly a day passes upon
which fights, riots or lynchings do not
occur. A certain portion of Wilcox
county Ga. is now cOnvulsed over
what some suppose is to end IN race
war. Rush orders have been received
by neighboring hardware dealers for
firearms and ammunition. and serious
conflicts between certain members Of the
two races are imminent. There must be
a lack of forbearance upon both sides.
Some negroes are calculated by their
actions to incense white people, while
there is reason to believe that numbers
of the latter race love too well the ex-
citement incident to such turmoils.
Whites and blacks have lived together
in the South for centuries, and it is to
be regretted that either commits acts
which keep alive race antagonlsm. Ac-
cording to the declaration of Georgia
court the "Before Day Club" samyth,
no evidence having been adduced to
show that any such organization ever
existed 1t seems to have been the
creature of Imagination on the part OF a
colored woman who desired to cause SEN
sation and at the same time make her
self prominent.

at Walmer Castle this morning that the
condition Of Lady Curzon, formerly Miss
Mary Letter, of Chicago, was serious.

ago, although the fact of her indisposi-
ton did not become known till yester-
day. Lord Curzon was about to sail for

but has been compelled to postpone his
departure.

ply to a telegram Lord Curzon sent your

Mr.. FRANCIS BURTON HARRISON,

democrats for Lieutenant Governor OF
New York, says he has no intention at

so. But Mr.. Fairbanks, their candidate

THURSDAY EVENING. SEPT. 22' 1914

rac ,pocrEDINGs of the democratic
Convention in Saratoga yesterday were
- marked contrast to those of the re-
nnbl;can convention last week. In
The latter q ticket formulated by two or
three individuals was placed before the
oonyent;on in a cut-and-dried state and
the delegates we're compelled to affirm IT,
to the evident disgruntlement OF certain
party leaders. The proceedings yes'er'
dav we're devoid of bossism or dictatlon
Of any sort. The peoples delegates
snoke and acted, and after the ticket
had been prepared the discussion that
followed was harmonious, all resent
ments and piques being obliterated and
the delegates before adjournment were
practically of one mind, having ike
GOOD democrats, submitted to the aeciS-
ion of the majority. Republican news
naners have recently endeavored to Gre
ate the impression that there are serious
variapces in the democratic party, but a
calm survey of the field shows that the
ALLEGED Emergencies are myths, the crea-
lions of the minds of Rooseveltites who
would rejoice to see dissensions in the
democrat;c ranks. The scenes at Sara
toga Yesterday are good omens. They
show beyond the shadow of doubt that
the democrats of New York are deter
mined to pull together in their endeav'
ors TO defeat Mr.. Roosevelt in his own
State. This is naturally causing repub-
licans anxiety.

A Deadly Fly.

Mrs. Anna Kravtckenkow, the Eng
lish wife OF Russian army officer, who
arrived at Chefoo the night of Septem-
Der II with Lieut. Prince Radzivil from
Port Arthur, is the first woman to run
the blockade from the Russian strong
hold since the japanese increased their
vigilance to prevent egress from the
port. Her trip was rendered extremely
perious because she came out with the
Prince and his companion, Lieutenant
ChristofOrof, who carried messages from
Lieutenant General Stoessel, the CON-
mauder at Port Arthur, to General
Kuropatkin. Both these officers we're
disguised, and had they been captured
by the japanese they certainly would
have been executed. "There is no con-
tagious diseases at Port Arthur says
Mrs. Kraytckenkow, "but many deaths
are resulting from the bite Of large
red-headed fly which feeds on the de-
composing corpses scattered over the bat
tlefields. A doctor who was bitten on
the thumb by one of these flies instantly
severed that member. He then had his
arm amputsted, but not before the poi
son had reached his heart. The result
Of the bite was fatal"

SENATOR FAIRBANKS has issued his
letter of acceptance of the nomination by
the republican national convention as
the candidate for Vice President. 1t is
very long, unconvincing and in the main
a recapitulation of the claims OF the
party which has made hin one of its
champions. Mr.. Fairbanks is an able
man. No one will contrOyert this as
sertion, but he is by no means the first
of his kind who, found in bad company,
is attempting to make apologies for
Theodore Roosevelt and his wholesale
blunders. Mr.. Fairbanks has asserted
nothing that has not been successfully
reluted by democratic speakers and
writers, and, like the production of the
head of the ticket, his letter is harm

ment is inclined to renewed efforts at depres-

WATER FROM DEEP WELLS,
That Is the Only Kind with Which
the Wise Dairyman Will Sup
ply His Cows.

Al spring is nearly here, the farmer
should be taking into consideration the
supplying of pure water for his cows.
The dirty brook that runs through some
of the pastures is not suitahi. drink
ing place for the cows. 1t is always SUBJ
ject to contagion brought to it by other
animals and by birds. In the dry time
of summer some of these brooks so near
ly run dry that the water becomes stag
nant. In this water the cows stand
sometimes for hours at time. 1t be-
comes filthy and a suitable medium for
the development of disease germs and
also of germs that affect the milk by pro-
ducing bitter flavors. stringy consistent
cies, and so forth. Every pasture should
be provided with troughs in which can
be found pure water at every part of tho
summer season. Where there are
brooks, very frequently the brooks can
be diverted or-controlled in a way that
will make them help render this serv-
ice. A brook running under the cool
ground through tile pipes is very diff
ferent thing from a brook ripping over
the surface and becoming fouled in q
hundred ways. Without doubt the best
water for the COWS in the pasture is that
pumped from deep we'll and run cool
into clean troughs, such as are to be
seen on our best-kept farms.-Farmers'
