WHISKY NO EXCUSE FOR CRIME

So long as the whiskey habit does
not place men in the clutches of the
law they indulge in it. We mean by
this, certain class of men who are
addicted to the improper use of whis-
key. The moment such men find
prison doors staring them in the face
they plead the influence of drink as
an excuse for their crime.
Were drunkenness always accept
ed in palliation of crime the popu-
lation of the prisons of the LAM
would be very much less than it now
is, and an increasingly large number
of men who ought to be locked up
would be at liberty. 1t is one of the
safeguards of society that crime COM
mitted by drunken man shall be
considered just as necessary of pun
ishment as when the perpetratOr is
sober. Otherwise all that man
need do if he has murder in his
heart or is planning robbery is 10
take a drink of whiskey and plead
that he was drunk
The annals of the courts show
that leniency has at times been shown
when drunkenness was pleaded, but
public opinion has seldom or never
approved of it.
Whiskey is no excuse for crime at
all. If man undermines his moral
and mental powers through the use
of whiskey and so blunts his sense
of right and wrong TO CONT crime
he alone is to blame.

Those critics of the administration
who resent the vigorous prosecution
of the Standard Oil company appear
to forget that this concern is an old
offender whose sins are almost as
numerous as the sands of the sea-
shore and whose ability TO employ
expert legal talent, if not. TO corrupt
prosecuting officers, has enabled it
heretofore to escape the consequence
of it's acts The purpose of the adj
ministration is not to wreck Ven
geance but to demonstrate to the
Standard, and 10 other great corpora
tions, that persistent violations Of
the law is unprofitable; in other
words that honesty is the best policy.
Were it not for the Elkins act, some
of the Standard officials would Ger
tainly be imprisoned.

WHY KILL WILD ANIMALS?

Homer Davenport the well known
cartoonist is making campaign
against the wrongful killing Of wild
animals The following is one OF the
many short articles from his pen:
A few days ago a news item APP
peared in the daily papers saying
a certain very rich young man was
off for the far North with spec
tally EQUIPPED ship for hunt among
the polar bears; that he had killed
all kinds Of harmless game, but had
not killed polar bears, so was off TO
satisfy his desires in that line.
am doubtful whether the reader
believe any testimony but that of the
camera, when | say that few others
than a thoughtless savage would XIII
so beautiful and harmless a creature
as zebra. If nature ever created
a finer animal than a zebra, when
on its native grazing plains, it would
be hard to conceive such; still, TINS
same man who now wants To kill
polar bears took pleasure in killing
a splendid zebra. Imagine man
having the wealth necessary for big
hunting trip in Central Africa, or to
fit out ship for the Far North.
where the polar bear lives; imagine,
| say. what an education for others
and a pleasure for himself. it would
be it. instead of going on long, ex-
pensiye journeys just to kill these
beautiful specimens, he caught them
alive, which would require real
shrewd thought, brought them to his
zoo and. there was able to see them
multiply, and they would be source
Of education for thousands of children
who could see them. He could tell
in detail on printed cards how he
caught this, that and the other of
these almost extinct animals. and all
the other particulars concerning
them
Could you imagine more fascin-
ating life than to have ample means
to go to Central Africa and there
catch the hippOpotamus, or rhinocer-
os. or zebra, or any of the rarer wild
animals. and bring them out alive
and settle them in ponds or paddocks
as nearly like the places you saw
them in as possible? How much
more pleasure, if it is pleasure. it
would be than to go to your studio
and there Sc the head of a once live
zebra that recalls the day in distant
Africa when you saw this picturesque
creature feeding knee deep in the
wild grasses, leading harmless life,
from the gaze of the lion in the
moonlight. and after watching him
feed for a moment from ambush
you shot and killed as beautiful a
creature as nature was ever known
to produce-all this done that you
might stand with an expression of
pride and be photographed as the
victor.
You didn't want the meat: you
only wanted the skin as a souvenir,
and to get it you thought nothing of
taking a life that was happy in the
enjoyment of the things within its
isolated pastures in the heart OF
widest Afica.
1t should even be depressing TO
anyone as he sees the beautiful ant
elope, gazelles, zebras and other OF
the African animals feeding on the
vast stretches of grass there to think
of the time when civilization will
crowd them Off Compare the living
creatures with those that have been
slain, and ask yourself which you
would rather have been responsible
for. Imagine having caught the

BLOW HARD
AND QUICK
If Mexico Has to Shed
Blood
WITH THE GUATEMALANS
PRESIDENT DIAz OF MEXICO
GIVES OUT CLEAR AND CON-
cIsE STATEMENT OF FEELING
BETWEEN TWO COUNTRIES
WAR WILL BE SHORT ONE.

New York May 13.-In the course
of lengthy interview in the city OF
Mexico, published in The Herald here
today, President Diaz gave a statement
of the feeling of Mexico towards Guat-
emala and his ideas for remedying the
condition prevailing IN some of the
Central American republics Mexico"
he said, "has. throughout all this trou-
bic with Guatemala, which came so
near forcing us into war, maintained
an attitude of a friendly power
That attitude is still maintained.
We do not want to shed blood to show
the Guatemalan government the error
of their ways and will not resort 10
that extreme measure unless some
over tact or insult be committed which
will demand the infliction by Mexico
of a short, sharp punishment. If it be-
comes necessary to have war we will
make 1t a very brief one Mexico's
present wonderful development and
progress must not be hindered by
long drawn out conflict The blow IL
struck will be hard and quick"

Eleven men viii be in the box when

None have been finally accepted by

STRIKERS SEVERAL MILLIONS
THOUSANDS OF OTHER UNION
MEN TO STRIKE.

New York, May 13.-There is no
change for the better in the dock sit
uation caused by the strike of the long
shoremen. Freight is piling up at an
enormous rate at all the docks and APP
parently the steamship companies have
but few men to move it. The blockade
is causing much inconvenience to the
shippers and merchants. The trans
portation companies and strikers are
losing thousands of dollars daily
The loss to the shipping interests
alone Is said to aggregate $4,000, 600
thus far while the loss in wages to the
also runs into seven fig
ures Neither side has thus far shown
anw disposition to surrender, but the
was made that one side or
the other must soon give way as the
strike is paralyzing the ocean freight
traffic Of the port, a condition that
merchants cannot long permit to con-
tinue.
According to the strike leaders 10000
are on strike In Manhattan,
Brooklyn and Hoboken President Com
nors, OF the Longshoreinens union,
says he expects the tide water boat
men. who tow the coal barges from the
pockets to the steamers, to strike in
today. He also expects that
the grain elevator men will strike to-
day. Should these movements occur
the shipping embargo will become more
serious than ever

Haywood Case Second to

DECLARES U. S. SENATOR
SPECIAL COUNSEL FOR PROSE-
cuTIoN IN ACTION AGAINST
MINE LEADER SAYS THAT
STARTLING STORY is FORTH
COMING.

Boise Idaho, May 13.-Senator w. L.
Borah has got more to think about than
anybody He has large law practice,
is special counsel for the state in the
Haywood case, counsel for the defend
ants in some land fraud cases set for
trial in the northern part of the state
this month, and, it has been reported.
a grand jury has voted an indictment
against him on account of some al
legged government land irregularities.
No official announcement of such an
Indictment has been made but Borah,
the United States district attorney and
the federal judge have recently visited
the president for the discussion of that
subject.
Withal he's not prey to worry. A
call at his office disclosed him in a
room lined from floor to ceiling VITA
law books, shaping up authorities for
the Haywood case. When / asked him
as to the status of the trial he said:
1T is not possible to forecast with
any certainty the length of the trial,
but in the absence of the unexpected
should consider 1t fair guess that
the end will be reached in the first
week of July.
You are going to hear wonderful
story when the jury is finally secured, :"
continued the senator II looked it
over again last night, and it is beyond
anything l ever read. The matters in
volved are suggestive of the work of
the Molly Maguires, but their methods,
like other things in the world have
been subject to evolution, and here
we have their latest development.
have never said that the men under
arrest committed these offenses; that
is matter for the jury to determine.
All that ! say is that somebody did
commit them, and that the disclosure
will startle the entire country"
With regard to the charges against
him Borah has said that he would be
ready to meet any Indictment against
