Needed the Bath.

Muskegon officers brought a wild
man into town. He had been in the
woods for several weeks. He was
scantily clad, long hair matted and
filled with filth fell over his shoulders
and he had beard like Father Noah.
He was barefooted and his feet were
shaped like a tree-climbing animal.
He was arraigned in court and SEN
fenced to 80 days in Jail as vagrant.
He was comparatively tame" through
it all, up to the time the jailer an
nounced he must take a bath. Then
he went wild sure enough. He raved
and stormed and he jailer was COM
PEELED to tear his clothes off to dis
robe him. The sight of water and a
porcelain bath tub nearly caused him
to faint. Then the jailer had fainting
symptoms. The stencil caused that.
So he went to a grocery store and
bought 81 worth of brown sugar,
which he burned in the room. while
he turned the hose on the wild man
and washed the thickest off,

Parker Released.

George w. Parker, slayer Of James
Moore, his brother-in-law, who was
convicted Of manslaughter in Detroit,
is set at liberty by decision of the
supreme court.
In the opinion, which was by Jus
tice Grant, the circumstances of
Parker's trial are recalled. the third
jury in the case being discharged by
Judge Phelan owing to charges made
against the panel, and all the names
in the jury box were destroyed by his
order. One hundred and fifty new
names were ordered put into the box
and new jury was secured which
convicted Parker.
The jury was discharged after the
people had rested their case and the
respondent had entered upon his de-
tense. The judges Investigations into
the charges against the Jurors were
held to be ex pate and they had no
chance to defend themselves.
Under the facts of this case both
the accused and the people were en-
titled TO have the case submitted to
that jury" says the opinion.

WANTS NO CHANGE.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT STANDS
WITH THE STAND PATTERS.
On the Subjects of Tariff Revision and
Moderation and Conservatism
for the Present as the
Wisest Course.

IN the form of letter to Congress-
man Watson, of Indiana, President
Roosevelt makes a strong appeal for
the continued control of the house of
representatives by the Republican par
ty. The letter, dating from Oyster
Bay, August IS, dwells at length upon
the work accomplished by the Fifty
ninth congress and upon the impor-
lance of the work yet to be accom-
plished. Among the unfinished meas
ures which he hopes and believes will
be brought to completion at next win
ter's session he mentions specifically
the bill to lower the duties on i'm
ports from the Philippine islands" On
the subject of tariff revision and OF
the relation of the tariff to the trusts,
the president says:
I'VE stand unequivocally for a pro-
tective tariff, and we feel that the
phenomenal industrial prosperity
which we are now enjoying is not
lightly to be jeopardized. for it would
be to the last degree foolish to secure
here and there a small benefit at the
cost of general business depression.
But whenever a given rate or schedule
becomes evidently disadvantageous to
the nation because of the changes
which go on from year to year in our
conditions, and where it is feasible
to change this rate or schedule with
out too much dislocation of the sys-
tenn, it will be done; while general
revision of the rates and schedules
will be undertaken whenever it shall
appear to the sober business sense of
our people that on the whole the ben
efits to be derived from making such
changes will outweigh the disadvan-
tages; that is, when the revision will
do more good than harm.
Let me add one word of caution,
however. The question of revising
the tariff stands wholly apart from
the question of dealing with the So
called "trusts"-that is, with the con-
troll Of monopolies, and with the SUI
pervision of great wealth in bust
ness, especially in corporate form
The only way in which it is possible
TO deal with these trusts and mo-
nopolies and this great corporate
wealth is by action along the line
of the laws enacted by the present
congress and it's immediate predeces-
sors. The cry that the problem can
be met by any change in the tariff
represents, whether consciously or I'M
consciously, an effort to divert the
public attention from the only meth
cd of taking effective action

Sufficiently Radical.

A forecast of the attitude which Mr.
Bryan will assume on the tariff APP
pears in recent issue of the Com
mOner
ct was proved repeatedly in the
house and senate that American man.
ufacturers were selling goods abroad
cheaper than at home and that the
high protective tariff provides shelter
to the trusts while they prey upon the
people. But the Republican congress
refused TO give the people relief on
mand for tariff revision comes as
mand for tariff revision comes as
strongly from a considerable portion
of the rank and file of the Republican
party as ii does from members OF other
parties. Promising in its platforms
and through its stump speakers that
the tariff would be revised by its
friends the Republican party through
it's congress insisted upon standing
pat which phrase was coined by rep
resentatives of the trust system and
being interpreted means that the Re-
publican party will be faithful to the
men who provide it with campaign
funds"
We think the free trade newspapers
of "the enemy's country" have no
cause to worry about Mr.. Bryan's tar
If views. They will be found suffi-
GENTLY radical to suit the most ardent
haters Of protection.

Smith and Mrs. Swank Given the
Third Degree Without Result.

Third Degree without HesuIt.
Two Pinkerton. detectives and
Sheriff Tenant failed to wrest con-
fession from Smith that he murdered
Lloyd A. Dynes, the Galien telegraph
operator, or an admission of guilty
knowledge from Mrs. Cordia Swank.
Each was "sweated" for two hours in
the county Jail. Smiths whereabouts
on the night of the murder remain a
mystery. He is known to have spent
the early part of the evening at the
home of cousin. He is said to have
been asleep on lounge in his
cousins house at 10 o'clock. After
that hour nothing is known of where
he went. His relatives have not as
sisted him so far in establishing an
alibi.
Mrs. SwanlS did not learn of Dynes'
murder until between and o'clock
on the morning after the night he
was killed. II is denied that she be-
came hysterical. A girl who was with
her says that she showed no unusual
excitement on hearing of the crime.
This girl says that she heard Smith
make threats against Clyde Swank,
being jealous of Mrs. Swank's hus-
band. Mrs. Swank was on friendly
terms with Lloyd Dynes.

Made Fortunes and Lost Them.

BY far the most interesting phase
or the late Aaron T. Bliss many-sided
activities was his business career,
comprising as it did a range of 80
years of strife, success and advers-
fty alternating like the seasons. Al
though he engaged in many financial
undertakings his fortunes were in the
main made and lost in timber. In
1898 Bliss became associated with
Gen. Alger in some extensive land
transactions which brought him excel
lent returns, and ii is said by his sur
viving business associates that the
close of the century found the COVER
nor in probably the most prosperous
condition Of his life.
Possibly at this time he was worth
between 100000 and 100000. But
in the brief time between 1900 and
his death, extending over his guberna-
torial terms. he again lost the bulk
OF his fortune, through business &C.
commodations, Improbable business
ventures and the spreading of his
money out over multitude Of under
takingS which he was unable to swing
One single loss a few years ago Is
said to have been $4,000, while his
investment in 1dahoan irrigation lands
required heavy outlay of money and
proved Improbable.
1t is said, though this cannot be
certified. that Bliss estate outside Of
his life insurance, which is about
100000, will hardly pay all outstand-
ing mortgages, notes and other obli-
cations. 1t has also been gossiped
that friends during very recent
period have been paying the premiums
on part of his life insurance. How
ever this may be, it is certain that his
clear estate will be but fraction of
the fortune he at several times pos
sessed, lost, regained and lost again.
His widow will have q competence
the remainder Of her life, but not
much more.

TRUSTS AND DEMOCRACY.
Party When in Power Made No Move
Against Them.

The Herald is much exercised over
the trusts, charges them all to the
tariff, even Standard Oil, and closes
with dire threat or prediction that
the Republican party, which made the
trusts possible, will be hurled from
power by the outraged people. Incl.
dentally it delivers a panegyric on
Mr.. Lincoln, the only trouble being
that the great man was obliged to die
before any Democrat discovered eth
er greatness or common honesty in
the glorified man.
But the writer in the Herald for.
got one thing. When the people over.
throw the Republican party, into what
hands will it commit the destinies OF
the country? Will it be the Democ.
racy? That is rather a momentous
question. Will the 1892 trick be tried
again? In that year the Democracy
put in its plank a furious arraign.
ment of the Republican partys record,
demanded that it should be utterly
overthrown, and then the trusts
Clipped in and elected their presi.
dent and both houses of congress.
The results were somewhat disap.
pointing. The traditional bull in the
china shop was but sucking calf
by comparison.
The country had four years of 1t,
and when it had run a course, had
trusts been for sale at two-bits apiece,
they would have gone begging; there
was 70 money left in the land to
make the purchases.
Since then the people have fought a
little shy of putting their trust in a
party so filled with promises before
election, so impotent in performances
after election. The Republicans had
passed an antitrust law just prior to
the great Democratic victory, but Mr..
Cleveland's attorney general could
see nothing in it. The trusts were
mind readers that year. They knew
in advance that, no matter who Mr..
Cleveland might appoint attorney gen.
eral, he would be color blind and
would see nothing compelling in the
law.-Salt Lake City Telegram.

The status of the wearer Of the
army dress is up, and the New York
Times thinks that the uniform of the
enlisted man, whether in the army or
the navy, is the badge of the wearer's
subordinate employment in an honor
able and useful government service
one of many such and one of the least.
1t gives him certain special rights in
his garrison or on his ship and de-
prives him of many individual free
doms there and elsewhere. 1t oper-
ates not at all to increase his merely
civic privileges. Off duty and out
side his garrison he counts merely as
a man. Least of all is his uniform a
social passport.

1se2-1eo6.

Enemies of protection in 1906 are
using precisely the same arguments
against the Dingley tariff that were
used against the Mckinley tariff in
1892. In spite of the splendid work
being done for labor and production
by the Mckinley tariff the cry was
raised that prices were too high. That
is the cry to-day of free traders, tariff
reformers and tariff revisionists. Then,
as now, the demand was for free raw
materials. Well, the revised tariff
of 1894 provided free raw materials,
and n large part of the mills and fac
tories that were thus favored either
went out of business or went into
bankruptcy. The country was given
all the advantages of increased for
eign competition as a means of
breaking down domestic prices, and
idleness, ruin, disaster and soup
houses were the result. Again the
talk of free raw materials and of in
creased foreign competition through
reciprocity and tariff revision down
ward. Thirteen years is not very
long time, but il is long enough to
bring forgetfulness to a large number
of people who ought to know better
than to forget the awful consequences
of trying to revise protection out of
the tariff. Protectionists should pull
themselves together. and use all pos
sible diligence in trying to prevent
recurrence of the awful blunder o.
1892.

TWO BANKS DYNAMITED
Ex-Governor Bliss DIED Poor Man;
Made Fortunes and Then Lost
Them Again.
Robbers Got $4,000.

The safe of the Newaygo County
bank, of st. Cloud, was dynamited
early Thursday morning and between
1000 and $4,000 taken. An attempt
was made to rob the r. Cannon pri-
vate bank in the same manner, but
the vaults and safe withstood the
blasts of dynamite, and the robbers
were scared away.
Eight masked men rode into the
village between midnight and 1
o'clock in the morning. They sur
rounded both banks. The Newaygo
County bank was the first entered.
Two charges were exploded before
the vaults gave way. Several charges
were then exploded in the safe of the
Cannon bank, but the steel safety de-
post could not be broken.
BY this time many of the villagers,
hearing the noise, were hurrying to-
ward the scene, and the masked men
hastily mounted their horses and rode
away 1t Is thought that they went
in a southerly direction.
George Rosenberg and family, liv-
ing above the store next to the Can
non bank, looked out of their win
dows. They were ordered to take
their heads in or they would be shot
of. The Rosenberg home was guard
ed front and rear.
The village is aroused with excite
ment and terribly wrought up over
the affair. 1t is not definitely known
the exact amount of money secured,
as the Newaygo County bank is SO
wrecked that in its condition thor
ough investigation is practically inn
possible.

A TypicaI Revisionist.

1t is gratifying to note that at least
one Massachusetts tariff tinker is pre-
pared to furnish bill of particulars.
Congressman Gardner has thought II
all out, and has reached the sapient
conclusion that revision must be
practicable" So he names free hides
and free sole leather. Practicable,
surely, from the customary Massachu-
sets viewpoint. But how about the
viewpoint OF cattle growing sections
which contribute several million votes
to the Republican column? What will
they have to say to the selfish and
silly proposition that they shall make
sacrifices In behalf of the millionaire
shoemakers of Massachusetts? Con.

RACE RIOT.
Many Negroes in Atlanta Beaten to
Death and Many Injured.

Many Negroes In Atlanta beaten 10
Death and Many Injured.
Saturday evening rioting began IN
Atlanta. Ca, the negro population be-
ing the victims, the alleged cause DO
ing the numerous assaults on white
women. At midnight Gov. Terrell is
sued an order calling out eight COM
panies of the Fifth infantry and one
battery of light artillery. This order
was not issued until Il . re negroes had
been killed and fifteen Laksl to hospi-
tails, five of whom will die.
The mob began its work early In
the evening, pulling negroes from
street cars and beating them with
clubs. bricks and stones. Negro men
and women, riding to their homes al
ter the work of the day were ruthless
ly torn from the cars or attacked on
the streets.
In a few cases negroes retaliated
during the early part of the night, puI
after 10 o'clock they were scarce In
public places. The fire department
was called out to dispense the mob
on Decatur street, street much ire
quented by negroes, and for a time
seemed to hold the crowd at bay.
The police reserves were called out
to hold the situation until tbe troops
could be modified. The mob seemed
to lack leadership and this doubtless
prevented more slaughter. The re-
ports gave the number of known dead
as fifteen and it was thought that
thirty, perhaps more, were either
killed outright or so injured that death
will follow.
