Is worse than anything Bryan has
proposed, worse than anything Re-

worse than anything Jaures has
tried to carry into effect in France
worse even than the simple So
clalism Of Debs. Carried to its
logical conclusion it would mean
the annihiation of the judiciary

re-establishment as a political semi

The World cannot believe that
Mr.. Roosevelt wishes such col
ossal upheaval of the whole fabric
of government, society and bust
ness; therefore it assumes that he
will not seek to repeat the To
bacco Trust experiment in this
case.
But what will he do? Follow
merely the same line of procedure
he took in the Northern Securities
case2 Or will he insist on the crimi-
nal prosecution Of Mr.. Hartman,
regardless of the effect upon Wall
street and stock speculation? Will
he demand that "the one respon-
sible man" be sent to jail? Will
he vindicate his own promise in
his indianapolis speech: "Wherever
evil-doers can be they shall be
brought TO Justice, and no criminal,
high or low, whom we can reach
will receive immmity?"
AN the Obligations however, do
not rest upon Mr.. Roosevelt. The
directors Of the Union Pacific are
responsible for Mr.. Hartman They
can remove him from the control
of the properties. They have the
power. They have the official rec
opd of his lawbreaking and his
financial swindles.
They have been dummies in the
cast. They allowed him to make
them accessories before the fact. .

main as President they become ac-

IL was in 1869 that Mr.. Murphy
became converted, at time when his
affairs were greatly involved and when
he, as he stated himself, did not care
whether he lived or died. He began to
speak at local temperance meetings.
His speeches, based on his own exper-
ience, had so much humor and pathos
that hey made deep impression
Friends urged him to take up the
cause of temperance as life work.

particularly enthusiastic.
In America there was not a citv of
any size that was not visited by Mr..
Murphy. and there are many men who
now hold respected and even prom

the influence exerted on their lives

sion Sees Evils.
There is a big surprise in store for
people who have been expecting the
interstate commerce commission to
recommend to the attorney general
the prosecution of E. H. Hartman and
his associates and the dissolution of
the railroad combination for violation
of the Sherman antitrust law.
At a recent conference at the White
House the fact was brought out that
in the opinion of leading members of
the commission, no law has been vio-
lated by Mr.. Hartman. Grace evils
have been discovered which warrant
the enactment of laws to prevent their
recurrence. But SO far as the commits
sion's investigations have established
neither the federal nor state law was
broken by the financial operations con-
nected with the exploitation of the
Chicago & Alton. nor was there any
infringement of the law caused by the
raising of dividends of Union Pacific
to 10 per cent per annum in spite Of
the peculiar circumstances surround
ing this step.

TIGER
GOT LOSE

Twin Falls, Idaho, May ga
tiger escaped from the menagerie of
the Sells-Floto circus here killed a
little girl and Shetland pony and
was finally dispatched by a brave
spectator armed with 32-caliber re-
vOlver.
The tiger broke down the door of
his cage by beating it with his paws.
He first sprang upon a pony. A
keeper drove him of with an iron
bar. The beast attacked a second
and a third pony and when driven
away by the keeper leaped into the
crowd. Tho guns kept for emergencies
like this were too far away to be
available.
A panic followed. Women grasped
their children and dragged them from
the path of the maddened animal.
The screams of the frightened spec
tators mingled with the. trumpeting
Of the elephants and the cries Of the
excited animals in the cages.
Through the crowd the tiger rushed
toward the main entrance. Mrs. s. E.
Resell and her year old daughter
Ruth could not get out of the way and
were knocked down. Holding the
mother with his paws the tiger sank
it's teeth in the neck of the child, who
died two hours later.

Mrs. Resell. Thrusting his family
aside, Bell drew his revolver and
opened fire at distance Of three feet.
When the first bullet struck the ami
mai in the shoulder he WINGED, growled
angrily and dashed his tail against the
wall of spectators. The second shot
caused him to release Mrs. Resell
and at the third he took to flight.
Bell followed and sent three more
bullets into the beast as it ran outside
the tent. In the open air it crawled
some distance; then in a final rally

had reloaded his weapon and was
ready to renew the combat, but the
tiger was MORALLY wounded. He
reeled over on the ground and, snarl-
ing and biting, died.
