SAVED BY A HUMAN CHAIN
Boys and Girls Joined Hands and Res
eued Lad From Drowning.

RICHFTBLD. n. j., Dec. 266-Frank
Crawford, II years old. had a narrow
escape from drowning in the Norris
canal yesterday while skating. He
owes his life 70 the presence Of mind
OF Henry de Vita, an Italian, had. of
the same age. who formed a chain
made up OF boys and girls and pulled
Crawford out. The lad, in spite of re-
peated warnings from the less venture
some persisted IN skating in a basin
used 10 quarter oid canal boats. II is
the deepest part of the canal between
Jersey City and Easton. Pa. and Sow
eral persons have lost their lives there.
While he was doing some fancy slxat-
ing he backed into an airhole and the
ice gave way around him. He sank but
reappeared and shouted for help. De
Vita and the other skaters were
some distance up the canal toward
Centreville, hut they skated to where
Crawford was struggling for life.
1t was dangerous for all to go too
close TO Crawford, so De Vita quickly
formed a life line. and he lay down on
the ice while another boy seized him by
I the ankles and propelled him toward
I Crawford. The second boys ankles
were seized by third. Then "a Girl
made the fourth in a human chain.
other boys and girls completed IT,
Just as De Vita was about to seize
Crawford the latter let go his hold on
the ice, and again disappeared. II
I seemed as II he would never come ur
again. but when he did De Vita seized
him by the shoulders. and then at HIS
command the human chain moved
backward. The ice cracked several
times but the rescuers did not bolt un.
til they had pulled the almost uncon.

A REVOLVING SIN
Why Premeditated Self Destruction
Should Excite More Horror Than
Any Other Murder.

As to its moral aspect suicide IS
manifestly forbidden b. the divine law.
one Of the Commandments Of the
Decalogue declares: Thou shalt not
kill" To make tho law as comprc-
henslve as possible. it is not said.
Thou shalt not kin thy neignbor %
which qualifying phrase is employed
in some OF the other Commandments.
as for instance. Thou shalt not bear
false witness against thy nelghbor' :
house" The prohibition TO kill is
therefore absolute. II forbids the taxi
ing Of human life, whether by suicide
or homicide.
There is another Commandment
which says: Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as myself" Now, the love
which we owe TO our neighbor forbids
us to slny him, and therefore. the love
which we owe TO ourselves forbils ns
10 compass our own death. II the law
allowed us TO kill ourselves. while for
bidding US TO kill our neighbor would
not be equal. but superior. 10 our love
for ourselves.
Nay. hold that suicide is a more
revolving sin than the killing OF an
other. The closer the ties OF relation
ship between the murderer and his
victim, the more atrocious is the crime
IN the estimation Of mankind. a patri.
eide. or matricide, or fratricide. oi
uxorcide is a more shocking crimina
than an ordinary homicide. And a.
man has more intimate relations I,
himself than TO a parent, or brother
or wife, his deliberate self-destructiol
should excite more horror than tn
murder Of a parent, brother or wife. =

Footwear DOn'ts

Don't wear the same shoe in the

Don't buy ridiculous, highheeled
shoes II your work necessitates much
walking or much standing on your feet.
Don't buy them under any circum-

Don't wear thin stockings and low

Don't buy your shoes too small. You

DEALERS
FEEL "SHAKEY"
Temperance People Said to

System
BELIEVED TO BE UNFAIR

There is a class Of saloon men through

little apprehension upon the coming scs-
sion Of the Legislature, their cause CT
fear being that some adverse action may
be taken regarding the two-bar-under-the-
same roof system.
Naturally advocates Of temperance are
averso to the sale OF Intoxicating liquors
under any and all conditions and II Is not
Improbable that a strenuous effort Will
be made by them to cause the enactment
operating two bars under one license even
though they be protected by the same
roof clause in the present law.
They Have Sympathy.
Nor is this class OF legislation favored
by the temperance people alone There
IS any number Of saloon men in tho civ
and State who arc not favored with house
accommodations which will permit them
to operate two bars and these. although
not openly. are favoring tho enactment

EDIT o RIAL
THE DOWNFALL OF PERKINS.

Up to this time the Review has
given serious consideration to the
candidacy of Mr.. Geo. u. Perkins fol
Governor. We were not inclined to
commit ourselves at this early stage
of the contest, but our intimate ac-
quaintance, our knowledge of his long
and brilliant editorial career, his
standing as congressman and as d
leader of his party during it's troub-
lous days, the strong stand he took in
favor of Gov. Larabee during his adj
ministration and his frank declaration
in favor of Roosevelt's policies, all
these things lead us to ac
cept Mr.. Perkins candidacy in good
faith and to file it away for serious
consideration when the proper time
should come.
But now, as with the sage of Spirit
Lake, we have come to the parting of
the ways. Like Mr.. Funk, we have
trusted Mr.. Perkins and he has be-
trayed the trust. Out of the columns
of his own paper comes his condemna-
ton, evidence as conclusive and as
damning as any that ever served to
send Pickwick to prison cell.
Boldly, and with an effrontery which
can but be painful to any independent
republican, Mr.. Perkins reproduces
in his own paper, fac smile of a
letter of high approval from Robert j.
Burdette Mr.. Burdette is now a
preacher, he has torn off the mask of
mirth and donned the cloth of his
church. The letter appears as but
an innocent expression of good will,
but when it is known that in his
younger and more frivolous days, Bob
Burdette was employed on the Bur-
lington Hawkeye, the true inwardness
of this insidious attack upon the lib
critics of the people is at once re-
vealed. Mr.. Burdette is a Reserva-
zionist, as writer for the Hawkeye
he must have been base, corrupt and
corrupting corporation tool. 1t is
true that he has strayed from the
reservation, that he is in sense once
more free and independent Indian of
the blanket variety. But is not the
proof inclusive that in his unre-
deemed days he was part and parcel
of a corrupt machine, and that during
that time he was hand in glove with
George D. Perkins?
We can see the two men at work, one
in Burlington, one in Sioux City,
one writing with sparkling humor,
the other employing the sharper darts
of sarcasm, but back of both the
sinister shadow of Blythe and the
machine. 1t is for Mr.. Perkins tc
explain, retract and apologize if he
expects the suffrage of intelligent re-
publicans.
