MRS. CODY'S STORY IS TOLD
MANY WITNESSES TETSIFY TO
THE WOMAN'S GOOD
CHARACTER.
One of the Poison Stories Explained
She Was Kind to Buffalo

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 21.-In the
Cody divorce case. Banker Macarthur,
of North Platte, testified that at a
banquet at North Platte in 1908, Cody
called for coffee, but the chef gave
him whiskey instead, which made
him dreadfully sick. This was one of
the occasions on which Cody alleges
his wife gave him poison. Witnesses
for the defense today testified that
Mrs. Cody never used prOfane, or vul-
gar language, never drank or kept
liquors about the place. She was
kind and induigent with Cody and
members of her family and always
treated Cody's guests with considera-
ton.

MEETS AN AWFUL DEATH.
Aged Man Sewers Artery and Throws
Himself In Front of Train.

TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 21.-With a
sharp penknife Henry Buschmann, an
aged German, living at Orting, cut the
main artery in his left wrist and then
after replacing the knife in his pocket
staggered out to the Northern Pacific
main line tracks and, as a freight
passed along. threw himself in front
of the onrushing train. The body of
the unfortunate man was carried for
fully thirty feet along the track on
the front of the cowcatcher, before be-
ing ground under the wheels.
The right leg was severed below the
knee and the left leg badly mangled
and crushed. Both arms were broken
and the body torn and bruised under
the wheels of the train. Pieces of the
body were strewn along the track for
several hundred feet.
1t was nearly o'clock in the morn
ing when the suicide was discovered.
Employees of the Northern Pacific rail-
way, walking along the track on an
inspection trip, came across blood
stains near the water tank and a lit
tie farther on came across portions of
the unfortunate mans body. The re-
mains were gathered up and taken in
charge by an undertaken at Orting.

The worlds progress in liberty during
the hundred years that have elapsed
since the French revolution completed
its work of leveling human conditions
is indicated by the situation in Europe
today All Europe took up arms to
quell the uprising of the French
masses at the closing of the eighteenth
century At the beginning of the twen-
tieth century the governments and the
peoples of Europe unite in wishing
we'll of the struggles Of the Russian
masses to share the liberty which their
civilized neighbors enjoy.
For many years. but more especially
during the last few months, observers
Of events in st. Petersburg. Moscow
and other centers Of Russian popula-
ton have recalled the situation in
France from, say, 1856 to the over
throw Of the monarchy. There is
parallel in the matter of land mOnOpo-
ly, in a corrupt or Indifferent bureau
cracy, in royal favoritism, in financial
distress, in unequal privileges. in the
abuse Of one man power. A parallel
in personnel as well as in conditions
must exist in order to harvest the Op-
portunities which the folly Of rulers
has placed in the path of liberty. RevO-
luton was seething in France for
years before the storm burst, and it
took two years more to gain force.
The times, the environment were
against it. Kings hated it, and well
wishers of liberty distrusted the meth
DDS of her newest apostles and cham
pions.
Those who look for a true parallel of
the French revolution in Russia may
not be disappointed, but Russia is not
France and ST. Petersburg is not Paris.
However, since counterfeits of liberty
take on different guises, so real liberty
may appear in various forms. The
Russian form when it dawns may sur
prise the world with the manner of its
coming and by the largeness Of it's ap-
plication. Civilization has made won
derful strides since 1850, and, Russia
has advanced at least little bit.

Well, you may be right and you may

This fact was brought out during

A USELESS LAW.

& ENATE BILL No. %, introduced by
- Senator Park, by request. is a
measure that the American Association
OF Dramatists wants every legislature
in the country to enact into law. The
b:ll provides that any individual who
C uses to be performed in public or rep
resented for profit "any unpublished or
undedicated dramatic composition or
musical composition known as an OPP
era, without the consent of its owner
shall be guilty of a misde-
meanor, and. upon conviction thereof
shall be fined not less than fifty dol
lars, and not more than three hundred
collars, or be imprisoned not less than
thirty days nor more than three
months, or both"
The purpose of the law is, of course,
TO protect authors of plays and operas
from managerial pirates. There have
been cases in which mana gers to whom
have been sent manuscripts have sto-
len them bodily and used them with
out giving either credit or money to the
authors. Such cases are, however. COM
p2ratively rare. And when they do
occur the author has ample protection
az law. He may sue the offending man
aSer and recover such amounts as he
las been defrauded of by the steal.
In the second place we have a copy
right law that also throws protection
around authors. A play that it worth
trying on a manager. especially on a
manager in whom the author has no
confidence, is worth copyrighting. The
cost of cOpyrighting manuscript is
not great. 1t is SO small, in fact. that
nc author with brains enough to write
a meritorious production viii neglect
the precaution.
The placing of the bill on the statute
books may do no particular harm, but
T. ither will it do any good. and a bill
that does no good has no place on any
statute book We have superabund-
ance of useless laws as il is.

HAPPY MANS PRIZE.

4 CYNICAL NEW YORK bachelor
u has wagered 81 zoe with a friend
that there is not one happy married
man in all the length and breadth of
the metropolis. If he loses the bet the
winner agrees to give the money to the
hs ppy married man. Already applicants
by the hundred have sprung up and the
difficulty of reaching a decision has be-
come apparent. A thousand dollars is
a lot of money. Almost any married
man would say he was happy for that
sum.
Cne of the conditions is that the ap-
plicant must testify that at no time
even for d single moment has he re-
Sretted his marriage. Mighty few men.
we are free TO admit, could stand that
test Understand, this is no barrier to
ha ppiness nor is it any reflection on the
married men. The best husbands some
times. when business has gone wrong.
when poverty pinches. when they see
the mother OF their children and the
children themselves denied little COM
forts and Injuries, question the wisdom
of their marriage.
If this constitutes unhappiness there
is whole lot of it for married men.
As for actually regretting the wedding
cay; well. that is another matter. We
believe that in vast majority of mar
ried lives the good so far outweighs
tie bad that serious regret is out of the
question. If that prize were offered IN
Salt Lake City we could point out at
least thousand married men who
would be entitled to a share in it. The
upshot of the whole business will be
that the cynical bachelor will find SO
many happy married men that he'll
conclude he ought to get married him
self.

THE HIDE TARIFF,

ONE OF THE MATTERS that should
" engage the attention of the tariff
revisionists when, if ever they get
down to work. is the duty on hides.
At present there is a tariff of l. per
cent ad valOrem on every hide brought
into the United States from foreign
countries. At Il meeting OF the New
England Shoe ard Leather association
in Boston some days ago the imme-
date repeal of the duty on hides was
demanded. A resolution to this effect
vas adopted.
1t was shown that. although it was
rot pretended that the tariff was
placed on hides for the purpose of rails
ing a revenue, nearly s., SOC. 900 was
collected in duties on them during the
last fiscal year. This means that two
and one-half millions of dollars were
tackled on to the prices OF shoes worn
l. American consumers. Certainly
tGe manufacturer did not pay the duty.
The middle man didn't pay it. The re-
taller didn't pay it. 1t was paid by
the people that wore shoes.
The next question is: Who would
be hurt by the repeal of the hide duty ?
Some Of our Republican friends will
promptly reply that the farmer and
the stockraiser viii be hurt Is that
II ue? Do you know n single farmer
or cattleman who would lose as much
as 50 a year without a duty on hides?
We know of none. The loser would be
the meat trust. for the meat trust
through the leather trust, controls the
hide market of the country. Very few
farmers sell hides to any extent. They
sell their cattle by weight, without
reference to hides. and so do the stock
men. The hide is a meat trust per-
quisite.
The great gamers would be the Amer
lean people. W. L. Douglas. governor
Of Massachusetts and the biggest in
dividual shoemaker in the United
States, is authority for the statement
taat the price of shoes would be ma
tcrialIy reduced il the tariff were
taken off Of hides. Mr.. Douglas pays
an average of $3.50 900 2 year to the
government in duties on hides. He
would reduce the price of his annual
output of shoes by just that amount
If the tariff should be. taken off OF
hides
There is an absolute mathematical
demonstration that ought to interest
congress as well as the people. II
every body who wears shoes should pc
triton congress for the removal of this
duty there wouldn't be room enough fl
Washington for the storage of the me-
MORALS.
