The Elections.

The elections of Tuesday carried
many surprises. In San Francisco
Schmitz the labor union candidate
was reelected by decisive majority.
He was opposed by both the Repub!i-
can and Democratic alliance AMI
beat them both. Nearly all the San
Francisco papers were against him
which was a great help.
In New York the candidacy of W.
H. Hearst was not seriously consid-
cred by the politicians. He oppose i
the Democratic and Republican or
CARNATIONS and last accounts indi-
cate that it is almost an even thing
between him and Mcclellan. He has
fought the corporations and stood for
straight municipal ownership. His
phenomenal run show that the people
like it. He has been opposed by the
municipal grafters the thievmg cor
porations and the rotten insurance
companies and is so near winner
that he will contest the count.
In Philadelphia the people won out
and in Ohio the indications are that
the state has gone democratic.

Is Machinery Anticipated


Recently President Roosevelt de-
clared that ''the machinery of the de-
partment of justice has been strained
to the utmost in an effort to punish
the beef trust. The Kansas City jour
nal, staunchly Republican organ re-
marks that if the statement of the
ent that the machinery of justice IS
entirely too antiquated and clumsy to
protect society,"
The Journals point may not be well
taken says the Commoner. There is
an old adage to the effect that "a
poor workman blames his tools" and
there is a general belief on the part of
the people that the machinery is
adequate but that the engineers AMI
operators lack either training or dis
position to use the machinery as il
tended by those who constructed il.
The machinery of the department of
justice works smoothly enough when
a little criminal is to be ground be-
tween the wheels, and it would seem
equally easy to grind big criminal
through by merely adjusting the run
ming gear.
1t would seem that the trouble lie:
in the fact that lawyers who are re-
tanned to defend the criminals take
more interest in the work than the
lawyers who are retained by the pub
lie to protect society. If the machin-
cry of justice is in disrepute if the
people are losing confidence in the
courts. lawyers owe to themselves
and to their profession to so conduct
themselves as to bring about a be-
ter condition of affairs and give tn.
people visible proofs that the court:

CARELESS of the wealth or social posi-
ton of the prisoners at the bar.
1t is hardly possible that the ma.
chinery of justice is antiquated. It
is more than possible that some of
its engineers are more interested in
holding sinecures than they are in
getting genuine good work out of thS
machine

An Auto Driver Fined.

DR.. L. A. Flesher, travelling
optician, who has been making Great
Bend, being here several weeks ago
the last time, and who is a friend Of
W, G. Merritt and family, got into a
little expensive trouble at Lyons last
week.. He had sold his auto which he
had with him here, and was on the
way to deliver it. While enroute he
came up behind a buggy occupied
and driven by a young lady, whose
horse became unmanageable, aud it
seems that the doctor instead OF stop
ping went right on by and the young
lady was thrown violently to the
ground. He did not stop to see
whether she was injured, but deliver
ed his machine, and Immediately
hired a livery rig and drove to Nc
Pherson. Here he was arrested on
orders of the Lyons authorities, and
taken back to Lyons, where he was
fined $50 and costs.

Charlie DODGE Couldn't Dodge.

Saturday being Charlie Dodge's
birthday, and also his wedding an
niversary, his wife and children
planned neat little ,urprise for him.
They invited the court house officials
and a few close friends, and had
them on hand at seven o'clock.
Then Charlie was sent for, and when
he got home he was all in. He was
not able TO express himself, at any
time during the evening, and you all
know that is something new for
him. About the time the first part Of
the surprise had worn off, Mr.. Solder
strom, on behalf Of those present, in,
troduced him to nice large easy
rocking chair. Mrs. Dodge served
an excellent five course dinner. after
which the guests amused themselves
by playing cards and finch, until a
late hour. The affair was very neat
ly planned and executed. The three
Oldest children at home footed the
bill, and therefore Charlie is relieved
of the usual after-clap in affairs Of
this kind. When the guests depart
ed he was as risky as he had ever
been, apparently.

ROY PUTNAM
TRIES SUICIDE
Shuts H Room
And Turns on Gas.
Room
DEATH MAY BE THE RESULT

The Topeka Capital Of tbs morn
ing, the Both, says: 30
Roy Putnam, until recently EN-
ployed as a street car conductor on
the city railway, was yesterday after-
noon at about 1870 O'Clock found in
an unconscious condition in a room
in the Savoy hotel. Gas was escaping
from jet turned full on. Apparently
it had been turned on with suicidal
intent. Putnam has had family trouble
and this is supposed to have been the
Cause Of the act.
The odor of escaping gas was first
discovered by the chambermaid. She
called the porter and he attempted to
open the door and found it locked.
He called to the clerk in the hotel
Office and then climbed through the
transom.-
The porter'Sannouncement created
considerable excitement in the hotel
and a number Of people rushed to the
room.
The porter threw open a. window,
turned of the gas and unlocked the
door. Putnam was found undreSsed
in the bed with his head under the
bed covers. He was unconscious and
no pulse could be detected. C. P. King
of 32l Kansas avenue. who was one
of the first to enter the room and who
knew Putnam, assisted in moving him
to room where the air was pure and
worked with him until the arrival OF
DR.. H. H. Keith. He had succeeded
in restoring respiration before the ar
rival of the doctor. He was removed
to Keith's hospital. Last night DIR.
Keith said that it was very. doubtful if
Putnam would recover.
There was no evidence that anyone
other than Mr.. Putnam had occupied
the room. The door was locked and
the key waSin the door on the inside.
AT late hour last night Mr.. Putnam
was still unconscious and DR.. Keith
enertaned only slight hope of his
recovery.

AN ABANDONED BABE.
Son Of John WEIGH, the Fair Ground.
Shootist, is Deserted.

There seems to be at present from
what we can gather a first class chance
for some one to adopt boy. About
three weeks ago John WEIGH and wife
left here, leaving their three year old
son in the care of a sister of Mrs. Ed.
Hotchkiss. Just how long they we're
10 be gone or where they weat We do
not know, but on Thursday Mayor
Moses was notified that be must pro.
vide another stopping place for the
boy, and finally succeeded in getting
Mrs. Thornburg to take him in. He
tried to get the grandparents, Her
man WEIGH aud wife, to take the boy,
butthey positively refused. None of
the other relatives Of the couple would
have anything to do with the child,
an ! therefore it is, from present in
dlcailonS, cast upon the world. The
opinion prevails that the Welch's will
not return, for it will be remembered
that ne is out under bond for the
shooting at the fair grounds. And as
it is cash bono, and the general rep.
utation of the parties concerned is SO
well known, it is reasonable to believe
he has gone for good. We hope the
people are mistaken in the belief. but
all indications point that they are not.
1t will be remembered that a certain
citizen whose name was not given
contributed an article some time ago
on the insignifcantly small amount of
the bond in this case. Time will tell
that he was right. This class of
people. are the ones that give a com.
munity a hard name, and they can not
be TOO severely dealt with under the
law.

A SAFE INVESTMENT.

Few people doubt the value of a bus
mess education, but not many regard
it in the light of an investment. No
investment, however that a young man
can make is equal to it in sure re-
turns or benefits received. His money
comes back to him many fold during
life, and, better still, it places him on
a higher plane among business men.
He mas the knowledge that gives abil-
ity and with ability comes the confid
ence that wins success, not only in dol
lars but in position and influence.
The Empire Business College enrolls
many young men as pupils who have
worked through haying and harvest
to earn money for a business education.
Such young men not only make wise
investment of their hard earned money,
but display qualities that will make of
them educated forces in the business
community 1t is possible for every
young man and young woman who is
willing and able to work to secure such
an education. Are you determined to
make this investment. You can if you
will.
