STORY OF THE CASE:
ONE OF STRANGEST
IN ANNALS OF CRIME

New York, Dec. 22.-The crime with
which Nan Patterson. the former
show girl, was charged in the trial
was one of the most sensational in
New York criminal annals. Its pecu-
liar circum<eAnces, the prominence oi
Caesar Young IN sporting circles, and
the glamor thrown around the central
figure in the case because of her
membership in the famous 'FlorodOra'
sextet, all tended to lend it an interest
hardly rivalled in recent years.
With Miss Patterson sitting beside
him in a cab, Young was on his way
TO the steamship pier, where his wife
awaited him, to sail with her for
Europe rhe trip ayowedly was plan
ned TO break his relations with the
girl. 1t was early i'm the morning and
but few pedestrians were on the street
through which the cab was hurrying
Il the dock.
There was a pistol shot. and Young
fell forward, with his head in the girls
lap. dead, with bullet in his chest.
Just what transpired in the glass
enclosed vehicle probably will never
be known. The cabman testified he
heard the report. He knew nothing
more.

decided the issue. The New York
World has shown that in the st. Louis
Democratic convention the gold plank
was really forced out of the report
Of the committee by the ter"!torl-'
delegates. The territorial parties are
allowed representation in the nation
al conventions through courtesy and
in recognition OF party sentiment and
the furtherance OF the party organ
ization and strength, but the anomaly
of allowing them to vote and at times
to WELD a balance of power in the
conventions is similar to that of per
hitting men to take part in party
nominating primary who are not quail
flied to vote in the general election.
The Graphic does not believe that
the territories should be given {;
vote in the party conventions until
they have electoral votes with which
to support their party nominees. Their
representation should be similar to
that in congress--they should have
a voice but no vote. AS long as they
can decide critical and important

PROPOSED CHANGES.

The Indianapolis News insists that
the territories should not be repre-
sented in party national conventions
and allowed to take part IN
making tickets for which 1hei: people
cannot vote. The News also con-
tends that the national conventions
of parties. TO be trul" Representa-
tive. should have the votes OF the
several state delegations adjusted to
the relative strength of the party vote
in the states instead of having 1t
based on the electoral votes.
Both of these propositions appear

Profits in Pecan Raising.

Some of the finest pecans in the
world are said to be raised in Florida,
where the industry is becoming impor-
tant. A long time-eleyen years-is
required for pecan grove to come to
maturity. so that it requires patience
to wait for the profits. but there are
records of single trees yielding as
much as SIG worth of nuts in a sim
gle season. In Jacksonville, twenty
six trees, Inning an avenue, yielded 500
pounds of nuts that sold for $50 in
cash. And at the same time the trees
adorned the avenue and added greatly
to Its attractiveness.

VALUE OF MORAL TRAINING.
Most Important Point in Bringing Up
of Children

OF NnlIQfen.
In bringing up our children. we
have learned that in regard to religi-
GUS matters, the sacred needs to be
diluted with the seculak In other
words, religious instruction in the ab-
stract is not nearly so efficacious in
character building as the making a
few principles of righteousness a vital
part of life. Practice is better than
p'ecept, says Good Housekeeping. My
boy quickly learned the Bibles in
functions as to kindness and gener-
osity, but when he gave ten cents of
hard earned money to help a poor
woman. the act made a greater i'm
preston upon his nature than all his
Sunday schooling. Most of us par.
ents need to realize that actions
speak louder than words--that a good
example and right deeds by parents
during the week have more effect
upon the child than church going

WILL HELP PARKER.

Evidence is not wanting that the
hostility Of Bryan is going to be help
full to Judge Parker and the Demo
cratic party. because in view OF the
announcement by the former OF his
intention to marshal all the radicals
of the country in anticipation OF the
campaien of 1908, the conservative ell
ement will readily understand that
a Democratic victory this year will
be the most effective means OF send
ing MIR. Bryan into permanent retire
ment of the Democratic party having
control of it's machinery would not
let go their hold, particularly if by
means of it they should win sue
cess at the polls this year. hence
such Triumph would enable them
to continue to shape the policy OF
the party, and it would be impossible
for Mr. Bryan to reassert himself. On
the other hand if the Democratic par
~, uOW tHd1 II 10 LII S''iei VI VI '''.'
and sane leaders, should meet with
defeat in November then Mr.. Bryan
would be sure to assert that their
leadership was no better, if 1t was
as good as his; that il he and his
followers failed in the campaigns OF
1896 and 1900 it was because they
i'm
ing the rights Of the people, fault
which would be corrected in max
ing the campaign OF 1908. This would
result in the historic Democratic party
becoming the refuge of all kinds OF
political cranks and fanatics. which
would make it a menace to the peace
and welfare of the nation.
There is no reason to doubt that
Bryans announcement that he will
begin a new campaign against the
conservative forces in 1908, will cause
Judge Parker to win thousands OF
votes. because the intelligence of the
country knows that Democratic vic
tory this year under safe and sane
leadership means the death of Bry-
anism, which cannot be hoped for if
the victory goes to the Republican
party. because the course which the
Republican party has followed Tor IN
last eight years. and which 1t IS
pledged by its platform TO continue.
will provoke reactionary sentiment
among the masses of the people more
favorable to the Democratic party
than any now existing even if Bryan
should again become the leader OF it.
These are facts that are impressins
thoughtful voters everywhere, and
they are making for the triumphant
election of Judge Parker this fall
The Republican leaders are, therefore.
welcome 10 all the comfort they can
get ont of the attitude of Mr. Bryan
and the bolts of his adherents. which,
however, are reported only in states
that are safely Republican under any
circumstances
