HERzIG's BODY Is FOUND.

Minot, North Dakota, Sept. IA
The body of Charles Herzig. who left
written confession of a criminal
assault and murder committed near
Youngstown, Ohio. thirty years ago,
has been found by party of search
ers, hanging to a tree in seclud-
ed ravine, just over the line in the
county of Wallace. Pinned to the
breast of the dead man a piece of
wrapping paper was found, on which
was written the following; MY
name is charles Herzig. over thirty
years ago | murdered and raped a
young girl. named Lizzie IL. Com
backer. near Youngstown, Ohio.
Charles Sterling, an innocent man,
was tried, convicted and hung for the
murder of the young girl" If Herzig
had not left a written confession,
his body might have never been
found for it was hanging in spot
seldom visited. Upon his neck was
a piece of green yelling, such as n
woman uses for crepe wells. II is
recalled by a former Youngstown
man that Lucy Gombacker wore such
a veil when murdered and that part
of it was used to strangle her. The
piece found on Herzig's neck is be-
lieved to be the remainder of the
veil. as he showed such a piece to
ranchman to whom he told the story
of his crime, declared that he had
kept it all these years to use 1t to
end his own life someday.
Herzig said, after committing the
murder and exchanging clothes with
Charles Sterling. he went to Warren,
Ohio. where he was employed as a
gardner. After the trial he went to
PENNSYLVANIA where he remained in
hiding until on the eve of the exc
cution of Sterling when he stole a
horse and went west. He settled in
Telluride, Colorado, where he mar
ried. Ohio people commenced to
move in and he became frightened
and deserted his wife and child ana
went to Death Valley, California.

In these words William j. BRYAN

vocating his candidacy for the third

unqualifiedly for Mr.. Bryan as the

SAFE STREETS

Every municipality has a right to
demand of those in whose hands 1t has
intrusted the reins of government that
the streets in settled districts shall
be safe for man, woman and child up
to the hour of 10 o'clock in the evening
at least. The most efficient police de-
partment in the world cannot guard
against brutal crimes committed in
houses. behind closed doors, but when
pedestrians are attacked and robbed in
the daytime on frequented thorough
fares. as was the young girl recently In
Minneapolis, 1t shows that the powers
that prey have the utmost contempt for
the vigilance of the local police.
Chicago and Minneapolis have both
incurred a bad reputation because Of
the frequency with which street as
saults are committed in each Of those
towns. It's the very worst kind of a
reputation that any city can acquire
and 1t is one that is hardest to live
uOWH. Inc marVel Is tnat the people
in whose hands rests the power of
making safe their streets do not rise
UP and demand that this be done by
those who represent them. A city that
has not among its own people a man
capable of enforcing law on the street
is justified in going outside for one.
1t can better afford to do this than to
be known as thug among cities.
Unfortunately latter day civilization
seems to increase rather than diminish
the number of those that populate that
mysterious realm which has been most
appropriately termed the - under
world" The man who controls the po-
lice department of a large city has no
easy task on his hands. A man of
mediocre ability cannot fill the posi-
ton. But there is always man for
the task, and the city that does not
search for him, and, after finding him.
does not make 1t worth his while to
serve it, shows itself curiously indif-
ferent to Its own best interests.

= We sympathize absolutely with the

the licensed gambling house. The whole

those of modest means and those who.

ly be destroyed is most Objectionable.

found at once practical enough and
drastic enough to drive all the bucket

VIOLATING HOME RULE

The principle of home rule for cities
In Minnesota was long ago adopted
through measures permitting them to
frame and to modify at their own
pleasure their city charters. The same
principle was embodied in acts pro-
hibiting special legislation affecting the
cities. To large extent this has been
got around by the system Of classify
ing municipalities according to popula-
ton. and then passing laws at the de-
mand Of a local legislative delegation
that would apply to one city alone or
to two or three in combination.
While this is almost a practical ne
cessity in some cases, there can be no
excuse for any effort to have the legis-
lature fix salaries of members of the
city councils. This is not a case where
courtesy to the cities applies. The
members from the country districts
owe it to the cities themselves, and to
the principle of home rule in which
SASS oiSO nave dH lhlcIcSls u TtluSe
consent to such measures. If there is
any question on earth which a commu-
nifty should decide for itself, It is what
amount 1T should pay its local gov
erning body. Presumably, public SEN
timent finds expression in the salaries
already affixed. If these are made
quate, public sentiment can be enlight-
ened and the change effected in the
proper way. When, however, public
opinion is SO strong against an increase
that the question dare not be submit
ted to the voters in the form of an
amendment to the charter, and then
the legislature Is asked to authorize
and compel this very increase which
the people who are to pay it would
have rejected, we get back to the old
system Of minute legislation by the
state for each local community and we
nullify the home rule idea.
The legislature will save itself a lot
of worry and time. and will consult the
best interests of the state and the
cities, too. by peremptorily rejecting
from even consideration every proposed
act that. under the home rule prin-
ciple. ought to be passed upon by the
strictly local constituency.

rest The original code revision pro-
posed to give to trolley companies the
right of eminent domain. This was
new and utterly improper legislation.
The house promptly struck IT out. In
the amendments reported by the SEN
ate it was restored. The Globe yes
terday called attention to this and
the senate killed it. This is at
least proof that these undigested
amendments could not be safely
adopted without examining every one
for concealed Africans. That which we
have quoted is a sample and a proof.
If now, in the face of these facts,
the legislature jams through the code
in its present shape, it will be the most
scandalous performance ever known in
an American state. Jobs have been
rushed through before, but they were
for special purpose, affecting a spe-
cial interest; and, however, Ubiquitous
in themselves. they reached no farther
than the one subject covered. Here is
body of law that the legislature pro-
poses to make supreme which affects
every statute in force today, affects
every interest, affects every individual,
and no one knows how. We are to take
leap in the dark over the most ire
mendous precipice that imagination
could conceive.
We do not believe the people of the
state appreciate as yet the danger
with which they are threatened, or the
daring of political party that dreams
of doing this thing. If the code is pass
ed in its present shape, the people of
Minnesota will be doing penance for
the next twenty years. From a party
point of view The Globe could de-
sire nothing better In the interest of
the people it will continue to raise its
voice in protest against the monstrous
and scandalous course which the Re-
publican managers have mapped out.

JUDGMENT SECURED
AGAINST THE HOLBERTS
Former Commission Firm Fails to
Present Defense

Judgment by default for s16625 was
entered against H. Holbert & Sons, a
corporation formerly engaged in the
grain, and stock commission business,
in the municipal court, civil branch,
yesterday. The judgment was in favor
of Charles L. Hale.
Hale paid the company last Febru-
airy $125 to buy 5000 bushels of wheat.
This was done and the wheat sold at a
profit of S6S,75 several days later. The
total was then invested in 20 shares of
United States Steel company's prefer
red stock, on which a profit of $2.25
was made. The total was then again
invested in wheat at a loss Of SIS.
Plaintiff then demanded the net pro-
ceeds, $166.25, but payment was re-
fused. Suit was brought and judg-
ment secured by default.

ON GUARD

he ldDOT OIL lIllS Sldlc
and of every state are deeply inter-
ested in the question of prison labor.
1t is necessary that they should be on
guard in Minnesota, unless they wish
the work done in past years along this
line and accepted by all sides to be
completely nullified.
A bill is before the legislature for
the repeal Of the law preventing the
employment of convicts in the state
penitentiary or reformatory in any one
occupation to the amount of more than
10 per cent of all those engaged in the
same occupation in the state. This has
been a reasonable Limitation. 1t has
prevented hurtful competition Of prison
with free labor. 1t has avoided ex-
tremes on both sides. 1t has saved
| Minnesota from the dreadful expert
ence of New York, Illinois and other
states, alternating between a general
industries, to the distress of honest
workingmen, and the total cessation Of
all prison labor involving punishment
to the convict more cruel and more
deadly than torture. Why disturb this
satisfactory relation?
The only reason for the proposition
now made is to open the way to the es-
tablishment at Saltwater Of plant for
the manufacture Of agricultural imple-
ments. This is the subject of another
bill, approved by the board of control,
and having far-reaching secret ramifi-
cations as we believe. Some attention
to this measure has already been paid
in our news columns. 1t is enough to
say here that the plan could be carried
out only by the expenditure of a vast
amount Of money by the state, that IT
would probably prove an economical
and industrial failure and that past
experience warns us steadily against
this particular project. Any Industrial
idea that requires as a requisite the
purchase Of a complicated and expen-
sive plant ought to be barred from the
prison field.
AT the present time 1t is sufficient to
note that even If the state were to ap-
prove the proposed scheme, which we
hope it will not. that would afford the
slightest excuse for the repeal of the
law relating to labor. 1t would be, in
any event, many years before the plant
suggested could be established. The
site must be obtained, buildings erect
ed and more money spent than is now
in sight or likely to be appropriated.
All this must take place before a sim
gle convict could be engaged in the
new occupation. 1t is time enough to
cross bridge when we come to it.
The repeal of the general prison limi-
tation at this time would not free the
hands Of the state in any particular,
while it would permit the prison au-
thorities to introduce other industries
at their pleasure and to inf1ict severe
hardships upon honest labor. This is
at once a public question and a ques-
ton in which labor organizations have
deep and intimate interest They
should make their opinion and their in
fiuence felt.
