Kidnapper VS.. Newspaper.

It seems that there is one class of
crime in whose detection newspapers
play grateful role. The newspapers
of Philadelphia have been formally
thanked by the mayor and chief of de-
toctives for their part in restoring the
kidnapped Eddie Muth. The part that
the press played in the matter was to
keep up such a racket of publicity with
pictures of the boy and the rest Of the
family that they turned the wholescity
of Philadelphia into a posse looking for
the kidnapper. Under the circumstances
it was almost impossible. for the scoun-
drel to either conceal the victim or
to carry on negotiations to blackmail
the parents. The outcome was that the
thief's hiding place was uncovered,
himself arrested and the boy restored
to his parents. 81 gs A$Ss
Superhuman persons of the detective
breed would probably say this might be
all right in a kidnapping case, but it
| would not work when traces were being
| sought of missing murderer or en-
bezzler. Perhaps the. detective mind
| knows an essential difference between
the cases, but to the lay observer it is
all one whether it is a kidnapper or a
forger. What is wanted is to make his
features known and reduce, the number
of safe hiding places by publishing free
ly the places where he has been OF
might be expected. It is said that the
criminal is thus aided to thwart justice
by shifting with the tide Of pursuit
But the difficulty with this program il
that when the whole community is
aroused the suspect never knows from
what direction the tide will set. He
is just as likely to run into an indie
pendent branch of the posse assto ge1
| away from the official side Of it.
Of course there are some criminals
who get away with or without publicity
in the search. Some of them battle tn
most skilful manhunters on the metro
politan police forces. Some Of then
manage to hide while universal hui
and cry is on. But on the whole i
seems more reasonable to suppose tina
the criminal must find it hard to dodg
the pursuit of the whole community plu
the detectives than the detective
alone. s~..-v.ss'

his method of treatment for year and
has effected cures in ten out Of twelve

:, In describing the new treatment, DR..
Goldsmith said last night that, hereto
fore, opium or some derivative of opium
has been used to relieve the congestion.
His method is to employ baths Of ITO
degrees in temperature for fifteen min
utes at time. These draw the blood
away from the internal organs to the
surface and relieve the congestion and
subject the blood to a process, Of radia-
ton. "A vigorous rubbing is employed
during the bath to relieve its depressing
effect, and drug treatment, consisting
of secale cornutum, equalizes the cir.
cu1ation. BY this. method, Motel Asi1is.

The Nevada Peril.

Those Nevada people seems to be in.
earnest in their desire to- be represented
in the United States senate by Charles
M. Schwab, deposed head. of the steel
trust, whose chief title to fame now
rests in his monkeyshines at Monte
Carlo. The Nevadans who are talking
Schwab may not represent the senti-
ment Of the other alkali drinkers, but
it Is more than likely that they will be
able to deliver the goods when it comes
to .electing, q senator. Nevada bears
the reputation Of a. rotten & borough,
ready to send@to the senate the mil
lionaire who seems able to do the most
for Nevada. In behalf Of Schwab they
are urging that he will be able to get
appropriations for irrigation work, and
thru, his connection with eastern CAPT
tai will. be; able to promote railroad
building. and mining In the state.
Just so; and with Schwab in the
senate the steel trust, railroad, and other
corporate: influence will have another
trusty" adherent. Representing O
constituency of 10000, his vote will
offset that Of ala Follette,. a Knoz
or Nelson. He will represent eastern
capital chiefly, and, Nevada only Incl
dentally. Newlands, the democratic
senator on whose seat schwab has de
signs, is also a millionaire. but witha

for the: man as well as the dollar. I
will make little difference to Nevada
but che nation would make a bad trad
