MOTHER SENT FOR
Boy Fatally Hurt in Milwaukee Home
Has Mother Here.

Directors of the Children s Home in
Milwaukee are looking for Mrs. Jennie
Watts, now in Minneapolis, that she
may 90 to the bedside Of her little son,
fatally injured there Saturday morning.
The little fellow fell four stories down
an elevator shaft and his back was
broken.
Guy and his little chum at the home
were playing in the attic on the fourth
floor. Both wanted to get to the base
ment quickly, and were racing for the
stairway. Suddenly Guy thought of a
scheme to win the race, and jumped on
a little dummy elevator used for carry
ing small bundles. AS he threw his
weight on the car, the rope snapped
and the boy dropped to the basement
with the car. Altho he is now making
plucky fight for life, the physicians
have little hope for his recovery.
His mother, Mrs. Jennie Watts, lives
with married sister in Minneapolis,
and telegram telling of the accident
has been sent to her at the general de-
livery department at the postoffce.

One Of the speakers at recent home
coming jubilee in honor of the senator
and representatives from that district
in the state legislature is reported as
saying:
I have always advocated the send
ing Of men to the legislature who
are in sympathy with the railroads,
so that at any time something Of in
terest to their district with reference
to securing appropriations is wanted,
they may be in a position to get it,
and this I am pleased has now come
about. You are now represented by that
class Of men and you are now reaping
the reward.
Every once in while this familiar
old argument hobs up. It is the same
sort Of theory on which a Doodle alder
man used to be praised by his friends as
"a good man for the ward. When

Deep, Mysterious Caverns Appear in

A Form of Intoxication.

Mr.. James 3. Dill, the well-known
corporation lawyer, who is also an en-
thusiastic automobilist, has come out
in a strong statement advocating jail
sentences for reckless drivers. This IS
/ the same kind of treatment that some
{ people advocate for reckless rebaters,
but possibly Mr.. Dill would not want
to go that far. 49,.
However, he is right as far as he
goes. The reckless cardriver apparent
" cannot be subdued by fines. He
has lost all sense Of proportion and
puts value upon speed which it does
not of itself deserve. When horses
were the prevailing motive power for
pleasure driving, the whole plan was
not to see how fast one could get over
the ground The rich took as much
pride in the character Of their turn
out, the breed of their animals and
the grace of their carriages as they
i did in the mere matter of speed. The
automobilist has excluded from his
view every consideration but speed
He has lost nearly every idea of pro-
priety. The rights and courtesies of
the road are become a blank to him.
The men who are doing these idiotic
things with eng ines are not idiots. They
are the same men who, with thei1
] horses few years ago, were the gen
tlemen of the road. They have sim
ply become intoxicated with new
emotion. The yearning for speed, which
i is in itself sensual, and neither artistic
{ nor comfortable, has taken possession
of them. The same trouble came will
the bicycle. The scorcher and tn
coaster ran his course and in time die
out. All the American people are no
permanently fools. The automobil
scorcher,- however, must be considere
! in proportion to the power for destruc
ton he wields-a power much in eS
cess Of anything the bicycle scorche
could attain to. He is mounted upon
machine that has within it the possi
bilities of destruction compared wit
which the bicyclist was but as a fireh
to a Frankenstein.
/ Nobody thinks automobile scorche1
are cruel, malicious, or even indiffel
ent. They are simply men and brotl
$ers laboring under an intoxicatio1
They are subject to the same remedie
as the law applies to other forms c
drunkenness. If fines will not sobe
the drunkard, the court at last impose
imprisonment or even decree an art
fetal cure. It may come to this wit
the automobilist.

A New Pretorian Guard.

3 Sir John Primrose, the lord provost of
Glasgow, while a staunch believer in
municipal ownership, is under no illu-
ssions. While he favors the system he
understands it's dangers and he has the
courage to point them out. One of the
dangers he sees looming up on the hori-
ZION in Glasgow is the creation Of an
army of city employees who may in
4time be able to dictate to the govern
sment. He pointed out in recent inter
view given an American correspondent
sthat city employees might combine to
vote themselves special favors as to
wages and treatment and be successful
in it. How easily successful he showed
sby an instance that fell out in Glas-
gov.
81 A certain councillor, impelled by a
sense of duty and not by any personal
Sgrudge, felt obliged to take a position
which brought down upon him the wrath
sof the police force. About fifty Of the
constables were residents Of his ward
and by organizing against him they beat
him for reelection. Such power in the
hands Of salaried stockholders Of the
corporation might in time destroy. the
independence of the Glasgow council
and with its independence would go its
economics and business frugality which
make municipal ownership a. success
Erect the offceholders into a Pretorian
Rguard and the council soon becomes the
counterpart of the puppet Roman EN-

To avert this danger Sir John Primrose
has actually advocated publicly the tax

city employees.

Out of Business.

If the retirement from the ring Of
the champion pugilist Jeffries really
"goes'' it will mark an epoch in the
history of boxing. No worlds cham
pion before him has ever retired until
he was beaten. They all Jagged too
long upon their stage and were kicked
off by younger and ADLER men. JEFF
fries proposes to retire without having
tasted defeat, and when there is not a
man living who approaches him in
physical proves. He proposes to retire
from the stage also, which makes his
action all the more commendable.
But the decision of the biggest
bruiser in the world to quit his trade
may not be so entirely voluntary. The
fact is that there has come over the
public opinion Of this country re
markable change, a change which has
been inimical to the interests Of pu
