MRS. gRApLsYs CASE.

The case of Mrs. Annie Fl. Brad
lev. on trial for killing United States
senator, whose mistress she had been
for years. is drawing the attention
that notorious and salacious cases OF
its kind never fail to attract. The
story is the old one, familiar to every
age and generation. She went to her
paramour, who had tired of her, to
plead for herself and her children who
were his also. It is said that he re-
fused her plea and she shot and killed
him. The evidence that is being de-
yeloped in court Is the usual story OF
such men and women. 1t is story
too common in Washington to attract
much attention until murder combines
with immortality to secure it publicity.
The old insanity dodge comes to
the front in the Bradley case as in 9TH
ers. The woman was crazed by her
wrongs; the man a scoundrel, and a
brute She sits shrinking and fearful

this with reference to the enforcement
of the mulct law in Davenport. They
are also watching closely the attitude
of prominent daily in Iowa hereto
fore very friendly to Governor Cum
minis. From what comes to the writer,
the source being from three counties,
fair statement of public opinion
would be, that the voters want the
law enforced in Davenport the same as
elsewhere, and to do this think every
bit of state legal machinery should be
used, and furthermore, if 1T is nee

The MOTTO AND THE FACT.

Generally we make much fuss over
small ond unimportant things to the
neglect of great matters. The protest
that has arisen over the coinage OF
new gold pieces without the motto
TN God We Trust" Is an instance Oh
this popularity in human nature. a
stranger from another planet might
naturally gain the impression that tali-
IRE to say SO on a gold piece included
complete failure of trust In the Gre
ator.
Not to go into the matter too deeply
how much does the motto on the coin
mean? The banker doesn't mana out
gold without a previous TRANSACTION
that largely relieves him from the
trustfulness mentioned in the motto'
at least so far as getting his principal
and the interest back again. In mat
tiers of money and business we pay
mighty small attention to mottos ana
take mortgages very seriously. me
motto is but the eagles stamp. What-
ever it may say it says alike 10 the
miser and the philanthropist. 1t goes
with the coin into the contribution
box and the saloon. The COLDS the goo
for all Of the motto. 1t represents
something that we need or desire. we
don't read the motto, but the value ol
the coin. or all the professors perhaps
not three out of ten know just what
coins have carried it.
Trust in God? Underneath all the
cruelty Of business and the frivollty
of fashion this nation trusts in God.
At the bottom we are religious peo-
ple and faith in God endures IN the
heart of all Americans. 1t is not neces-
sary to emboss our coins or print on

plays on every string of sympathy,
prejudice and pity, to charm verdict
Of acquittal from emotional jurYmen.
Back of all. is the general admission
that men like United States Senator
Brown are unfit to live. Mrs. Bradley
is in no serious danger of death or
long Imprisonment.
Still. here was Senator Brown,
man acknowledgedly unfit to sit at table
with the decent family Of a day laborer.
filling one Of the highest offices In the
gift Of state, sitting above clean
handed men, pompous in official sta
ton, sought in society, but a libertine
and common scoundrel. Politicians
at home knew 1t, thousands of voters
knew 1t, the other members of the
senate knew 1t; for such things are
common knowledge in Washington. NO
man on earth could hold the school
SUPPLEMENTARY Of county or remain
in charge of country school house Tor
a single day and live like Brown did.
1t is possible for man to be
United States senator and common
scoundrel, so base and degraded that
men turn from where he wallows IN
his death agony, with little sorrow for
the man who was killed and without
great resentment against the woman
who shot him down.
But Mrs Bradley ought not to es-
cape punishment If Brown represent
ed type OF mankind without whom
resents the female complement of her
type. Those illegitimate children are
hers as well as his. She is equally
guilty OF crime against society. 1t IS
too late for her to pose as the sinned
against and not as the SHINING. She
was simply the mistress OF the man she
killed. Doubtless the thought OF her
deserted children impelled her, but the
overwhelming impulse that sent the
bullet to Browns life was rage ana re-
sentiment against the man who scorned
her. Brown is dead and out Of the way.
The woman should be sent to the PEN
itentiary.
The story of United States Senator
Brown suggests that voters should take
some notice of the private lives OF their
representatives in Washington. Lib
crimes, drnnkards and gamblers are
unfit to represent the American people
at the seal of government. 1t is not
wise to wait for murder to impress
the fact that men who are unfit to
hold the lowest representative office
are unfit to hold the highest.

Mr.. Fairbanks Cocktails.

The president and vice president
have been under fire lately on account
of the alleged use of cocktails and
champagne. The cocktail story has
had wide circulation and is reported
to have not only political results, but
to have caused Mr.. Fairbanks defeat
as lay delegate to the approaching
general conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal church. The cocktails, it is
reported, were ordered by neighbor
who was assisting in the preparation
OF the luncheon given by the vice
president, and the host himself was
not informed Of her purpose. Not un-
til he came to the table did he know
of the presence Of the drinks. Ac-
cording to statement by his pastor

cate (Methodist, Chicago). Mr.. Fair

ference were supposed to be leopard

utterly Indifferent to the larger inter-
ests Of the church in being represented

ton. To this end persistent personal
canvass was made Of the delegates

thus obtained was greatly regretted by
the presiding bishop the official Wis
itors to the conference, and most Of

The Western Christian Advocate
methodist, CincinnatD has these
words to say upon the situation,
which involves, It declares, not only
Mr.. Fairbanks reputation and honor,
which are at stake" but "the character
and standing of our Methodism itself"
This journal observes:
'Tt is unfortunately true that when
a man, however high in principles and
conduct. is embarked here in America
in politics, he must expect all sorts Of
newspaper attacks, however unscrupu-
lous and damaging. His opponents will

PANIC IS OVER IN COUNTRY.

The City National Bank, which, Ike
the other banks in MarshalltoWn, car
ries deposits made by many small
banks In the towns surrounding
Marshalltown, received shipment OF
currency today from a small bank up
the branch" with the following letter:
eve are sending you by today's ex-
press $1,000 in currency We ma we
have more currency than we usually
carry and from present outlook and the
experience of the past three weeks
there seems to be no need to retain
our usual supply" 1
This is looked upon as the return
movement which will rapidly unwind
the financial snarl. Already the banks
in Des Moines have waived their $25
limit by agreeing to allow people to
receive On demand and in kind all
deposits which they may make from
now on. That is, people who deposit
currency from now on can draw out
nj any time the same amount of cur
rency they deposit. 1t is believed that
another week will see the whole money
blockade removed SO far as they coun-
try districts are concerned and New
York ought to be on easy street by the
first Of the year.
The Iowa Central officials, who made
a trip over their lines this week, re-
ported that Marshalltown was the first
town on their road from the north
down in which any limitation at all
was placed upon currency withdrawals.
The country districts in Iowa are able
to get along without currency from the
cities AS soon as the banks that
carry the reserves for other banks are
sure of this the trouble will be over.
In Marshalltown the deposits of local
people have actually gained during the
past two weeks, and the country banks
are returning their balances gradually.

HOW MONEY GROWS.

An interesting Illustration or the
value of bank savings accounts mas
lust come to Milwaukee from Connec-
tieut, says the Journal of the former
civ In 1852 a Mr.. Bush deposited
s5 in a savings bank Of Meriden to the
credit Of his grandson. The deposit
book was lost, but a few days ago the
owner OF the account succeeded IN
proving his claim to it and the accum-
u,ated proceeds of the diminutfve &C
connt we're turned over to him. Inc
account had not been disturbed since
1852 either by additions or deductions
The original IS was found to have IN
creased to no less than s7s.O1, or more
than fourteen times the original prin-
cipal in only fifty-tive years. The
n,incipal had doubled on the average
every four years.
The computation is carried a little
further. The deposit of 500 at that
time instead of IS would have caused a
accumulation Of $1,46o.20. A deposit OF
ST 900 would have produced the prince
ly sum of $14,6o2. Many people be-
lieye that every fortune is the result
Of great shrewdness and financial abil-
ity and acumen. It is pointed out that
here is an instance where money ace
cumulated at q tremendous rate and
without a moment of attention on the
part of the owner of the deposit =
everything was attended to by the
banker.
Why wouldn't 1t be good plan to
mt $50 in bank and lose the book
for period Of twenty-five years. Bet
ter in the bank than to drop it where
it can never be found again.
