We often wonder why it is so
many young men can be seen loafiing
upon our streets until a late hour of
night. Many of them are from our
best homes. The fathers of these
young men, many of them at least,
are numbered among our best citizens.
If their COW or their horse or even
their favorite dog was away from
home after dark they would be out on
a search, but their own children can
roam the town all night with appar-
ent no effort being made to find them.
The boy seems to be turned loose at q
tender age to wander at will into the
paths of sin and vice and then we
wonder where all our tramps and
worthless specimens of humanity come
from. 1t Is regrettable fact that
too many of them come from seed
germinated in good homes and then
sown in careless manner upon our
streets and back alleys. Reader, is
your boy wasting his time upon our
streets? If so had you not, at least,
look after him as carefully at night
fall as you would your horse and COW.
We do not intimate that this evil ex-
lists to greater extent in this COM
munity than in our sister towns, but
the evil seems universal and increases
in magnitude as the years roll by.

TRUE
FRIEND.

If you would have friends, your
self must be friendly.
Friendship is a very common senti-
ment, yet very great and important
one. 1t enters into every life and
continually affects it at every period
from childhood to old age.
Friendship in its strictest sence
should be limited in its manifestations,
for the human heart and life can
scarcely have more than one ideal
friendship. Friendship means con-
fidence, and he who takes many into
his confidence and gives them a
knowledge of his real self and life
commits serious folly. We may
have many friends who esteem and
respect us, but among them all there
should be one above all others" "the
friend who sticketh closer than a
BROTHER" the one TO whom we intrust
ourselves even more entirely than to
one bound to us by the ties of blood.
David and Johnathan had doubtless
many friendly companions, but only
their "two souls were knit together. J"
The elements of true friendship are
commonly known-constancy, ga
friend in need," faithfulness in sacred
ly guarding every confidence intrusted
to us. No viler or more contemplate
person exists than the one who betrays
the confidence of friendship or deserts
friend in the hour of trouble. But
besides human friend, we have the
opportunity of a divine friendship.
In Jesus Christ the Son of God, we
may find II friend upon condition of
conformity to His divine will. eye
are my friends if ye do whatsoever l
command you." The best of earthly
friends will fail us, but Christ will
never fail.

"A REMARKABLE record has Just

"A REMARKABLE record has Just
been made by the steamer Goldmonth,
belonging to an English line, which
arrived at Rotterdam few days ago
from Singapore, a British city in the
East Indies, by the Cape of Good
Hope route, a distance of 11,791
miles, in fifty-two days, without once
stopping her engines or checking the
making of steam in her boilers, max
ing 226 miles daily, on an average.
The vessel burned liquid fuel, and
with such economy that she had en-
ough left upon her arrival for twenty
days steaming. This record is un-
rivalled.

Notwithstanding the crookedne

Notwithstanding the crookedness
and unevenness of the street crossing
at the intersection of Bloom and Wal
nut streets, it is a great improvement
over the old one. A number of other
crossings need similar attention, but
for pity sake try to get them in
straight. There are number of side
walks in all quarters of the city that
need repairs, too.

comes to the masse

MISERY comes to the masses
mainly from two phases of inequal-
ity---inequality in property and in
equality in political rights. Both
kinds of inequality are growing with
tremendous rapidity under the Re-
publican regime. Equality is the
basis of every just government, and
Democracy stands for equality.

| BRYAN PICTURED
AS CONSERVATIVE
After Democratic Leader Leaves
London for Tour of Britain
ex Congressman Levy
Exploits Political
Possibilities
Here.

London, July 15.- William J.
Bryan left London today. He will
visit Oxford, Stratford- Avon, Ed
inburgh, Glasgow, Belfast, Cork and
Dublin. He will return to London
July %, when he will go to Haw-
arden.
With the endless speculation which
is being indulged in as to the plat
form which Mr. Bryan will adopt
should he become the Democratic
nominee for President, the opinion
held by Jefferson M. Levy, a former
Democratic Representative from New
York, who is now in London, is of
much interest, because it brings to
light new phase of the reforms which
the Nebraska leader is seeking to ac-
complish. Looking at the situation
from the standpoint of a banker, Mr..
Levy believes that Mr.. Bryan's prob
able campaign will appeal to the con-
servative financial interests of the
United States through the prospect of
the financial system being regulated
in manner which will preclude the
possibility of such upheavals as fol-
low change of administration every
four years.
INFLUENCE FOR STABILITY.
"Nothing is more menacing to the
prosperity of the country" said Mr..
Levy, ethan the upheavals which
threaten to occur after each' Presi-
Dental election. What we need is to
have our methods so systematized that
commercial, industrial and financial
interests need stand in no fear of be-
ing interfered with by any change in
the administration. Washington, ur-
der the present arrangement, is too
much of a weather vane on the coun-
try's business methods. There is
every reason to believe that Mr..
Bryan would bend his energies to-
ward bringing about more stability in
the form of government.
"Blessed with sound business sense,
he favors conservative financial sys.
tenn and he has skill to put peg here
and a peg there, so that our method,
would soon be on firm basis. This
is an opportunity which he would un.
questionably avail himself of if he
were to become the next incumbent
of the White House. His conduct il
Office, | think, would be the embodi.
ment of conservatism.
ERA OF demonstration.
81 do not believe he would try tc
interfere with the Constitution of the
United States, but, at the same time,
he would work for national better
ment. Exposures of rottenness il
many quarters which have been made
in the last year or two have formed &
basis for an era of reorganization
which he would take advantage OF
and erect on it staple structure o1
safe, sane methods.
Mr.. Levy predicts a Democratic
victory at the next Presidential cleo
ton.

MURDERER OF FIVE
HANGED TWICE
Rope Breaks at Execution
of Young Farmland and
the Trap Is Again Sprung
AGONY RACKS BODY

HOUSTON, Mo-, Dec. 21-The execu-
ton here today of Joda Hamilton, aged
20, farmland, for the murder Of five
members of the family of Barney Par
sons, farmer, was q horrible affair.
Two attempts were necessary before
the hanging proved successful. The
first rope broke.
At the first attempt Hamilton shot
through the trap with a jerk and the
spectators were Mortified to see tho
rope part. Hamilton dropped to the
ground and lay there writhing In
pain. Partly conscious, he was picked
up quickly and carried back to the
scaffold. The rope was hurriedly placed
about the boys neck and the trap again
sprung. This time 1t was successful.
The trap was first sprung at HOS.
It required some time to repair the
rope and 1t was 11:10 before the trap
was sprung the second time. The at
tending physician expressed the belief
that Hamilton was fatally injured by
the first fall and died before he dropped
the second time. The body was turned
over to Hamilton's father.

ASSASSIN
ATTACKS JUDGE
Defeated Litigant Fires
Shot at Jurist Who
Refused to Reopen Case
FIGHTS DESPERATELY

CHICAGO, Dec. 21--A desperate ef-
fort was made today to slay Judge
Charles s. Cutting Of the Probate Court
by Frank F. Ellerbrock Of this city.
The assassin is believed to be insane.
Judge Cutting escaped injury by q
hairsbreadth and overpowered his as
sailant after a fierce fight.
AS the Judge entered the Criminal
Courts building on his way to his
chambers Ellerbrock, who was stand
ing In the hallway, stepped forward
and when but two feet distant drew a
revolver and fired at the Judge. Judge
Cutting turned and struck his assail-
ant a heavy blow in the face, almost
knocking him down.. Before Ellerbrock
could recover Judge Cutting grabbed
him by the throat and threw him back
ward over steam radiator, where he
held him.
Two deputy sherifrs FASTENED to the
assistance of the Judge and wrested
the revolver from Ellerbrock. Judge
Cutting then allowed him to rise from
the radiator and the man attempted to
attack him once more. The two men
struggled back and forth across the
sistance of the deputy sheriffs, finally
hurled Ellerbrock to the floor. The
man still continued to struggle until
exhausted. He then commenced to beg
for mercy, saying, please don't hurt
me-"
Ellerbrock has been laboring under
the hallucination that the Probate
Court had deprived him of his rights
to a share in the estate of his deceased
sister. He had repeatedly appealed to
Judge Cutting to reopen the case. At
the police station Ellerbrock talked in
coherently to the effect that he could
get no satisfaction in the courts and he
decided to kill the Judge before whom
the matter was pending.

RUSH To GRAPP[E
WITH COLORADO
Men From Many Points
Hurry at Signal to Dam
Flood That Menaces Land
ROCK TRAINS MOVING

IMPERIAL, Dec. 21.-Responding to
the call made by President Roosevelt
on b. H. Hartman yesterday to proceed
to close the break in the bank OF the
Colorado River, orders to begin work
at once were received here last night
by General Manager Cory.
Not minutes time was lost. Every
preparation had been made in antici-
patton Of the order. The engineering
problem had been worked out and the
equipment in the form OF pile drivers,
piles. steam shovels, gravel trains and
locomotives was being held in readi-
ness. Many cars were even already
laden with gravel. When the word
came kilograms were flashed to a score
Of points in the Southwest, where
rock was to be obtained. Shovels be-
gan to fly and before midnight the
gravel trains were actually on the
way to tho break. Special trains have
started with machinery and men and
q large army Of employees is expected
to be on the ground in few hours.
The plan is to build three trestles
across the break, dumping heavy rock
from each and filing in the inter
stices with gravel and clay. The lower
one Of these dams will raise the water
three feet, the next one three more
and the upper one will raise it high
enough to flow down the old channel.
MS Sduhc InetnOu was uSeO III the pre-
vious closure.
Owing to the sluicing out of the old
channel, there is three and half less
lift than before. Investigation just
made indicates that there is no prob
ability of an interruption of the irri-
cation supply before the break can
be closed, which is now considered SIM
ply matter of expense.
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 21.-The San Diego
Chamber of commerce is making ef--
forts to secure an appropriation of
S2,500,000 for the purpose of corraling
the water of the Colorado River and
preventing 1t from overlooking I'M
perial Valley. kilograms were sent to
Senators Perkins and Flint and to
Congressman Smith. asking them. to
use their influence toward securing
the appropriation. kilograms were re-
ceived from the valley towns asking
the Chamber of Commerce to help the
good work.
