FpON OTHER PENS

PUBLIC SENTIMENT AT FAULT.
There is evidently a screw loose
somewhere in the administration of
our criminal law. Churches abound
and hardly anywhere in the world is
there public school system SO gener-
ously awaited of. Yet our annual rec
ord of crimes of violence shocks the
civilized world and impeaches our in
situations. At the bottom of the trou-
BILE, of course, is some defect of public
sentiment. The laws delay and heed
less or mawkish levity in the admins
tration of the criminal law would dis
appear fast enough if aroused public
sentiment would insist on it. A lynch
ing in England or Germany is we'll
nigh unthinkable. The regular ma
chinery of justice does it's work and
the work it is intended for is left to it
as a matter of course.-Milwaukee

Just now he is in the midst of his straw

to 1400 gallons all gathered from a
third OF an acre, for which he will re-
ceive at the very least $3.50. He will
also have from 400 to 500 crates OF

Just as good as Peach Blossom. "
This is a remark one often hears made
by merchants who sell -four on which
they make larger profit than Peach
Blossom bears. That is just it; Peach
Blossom is recognized as the best and
if -four is represented just as good as
Peach Blossom they think that ought
to satisfy the customer. Do not be
deceived. No other -four is quite SO
good, else Peach Blossom would not
have been awarded the prize at the
St. Louis exposition over all others. l3ti

Chairman of Board Of Directors Ex-
poets the Country to Be Prosper
GUS After Big Crops Are
ScId
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-E H. Gary.
chairman of the board of directors of
the United States steel corporation,
took an optimistic view of the business
outlook in an interview today. He
declared that a general quickening of
business will follow the sale of seven
billion dollars worth of crops. which
he expects to take place in a few weeks
If the weather remains favorable.
In the near future, he added, the
public will realize that not in years has
it had such chance to pick up good
securities. When that time. comes. he
said, companies will be enabled to raise
funds for renewals and extension. Mr..
Gary continued: ITO me, the general
situation is this: the country was in
neer of between $500, 100000 and
| $1,000, 100000 additional capital and
could not get it. If the favorable
weather continues for the next two OF
three weeks we'll all get seven billion
dollars for our crops. That will keep
the railroads busy. The railroads must
order new cars and rails. A general
quickening of business will follow. In
my opinion, the Forthcoming presiden-
tial election has been discounted earlier
| than usual and it has been reflected In
| the securities market"

TOURS WORLD ON FOOT
FOR WAGER OF $4,000
Young Russian Student Under Agree
ment to Walk Around the Globe
Within Space of Eight
Years

LONDON, Sept. 16.-"Behold, M'sieu,
student Russian who walk around the
world in eight years for 94OOO!'
Such an introduction has already car
ried Alexandra Kaufman from Cologne
to London, and Monsieur Alexandra has
sufficient confidence in it to believe that
it will carry him through all the rest of
his globe trotting.
Alexandre's appearance also earns him
much useful attention. With his long,
luxuriant black locks he looks like a
picture out of Dumas. 1t was with just
the sort of hat that he wears that DAT
tagnan set out on his yellow horse for
Paris and Destiny. Only M. Alexandre's
hat has no feather in it. Instead of his
fathers sword, he carries stick, which
he conveniently hangs from his waistcoat.
For the rest he is as brown as berry
and as sleek as an alderman. And If he
holds on his way past the terrors of
Siberia and the frozen wastes of the polar
and other regions that $4,000 will be his in
eight years.
He walked into a newspaper office the
other evening to have his record book
stamped In this and other respects he
has observed all the well-worn traditions
of all the other freak globe trotters. The
postoffice and other stamps show that ne
has visited Cologne, Versailles, Paris,
Plymouth, Bristol and London. His next
stopping places will be Italy, Bulgaria
Turkey, Russia, Siberia, Alaska, the Behr-
ing straits, Canada and the United states.
To be sure, youth is the season OF
dreams. Alexandra is but 2 He was
born in Odessa. At IT he was medl-

ACCUSE LAWYER OF
MCITzNG PERJURY
ATTORNEY J. w. DANFoRTH is
ARRESTED
"Spite Work." Says Accused, Declaring
Assistant District Attorney
North Has Been "Gun-
ming" for Him

Attorney ]. W. Danforth was arrested
last evening at $50 on warrant charg
ing him with melting perjury in connec'
ton with the Cline-Drake suit, which
was decided in favor of the plaintiff by
Judge Monroe.
Early in June E. R. Cline, through his
attorney, Eugene Overton, brought suit
against H. j.. Drake to recover $500
which he claimed was due on fishing
boat that Drake had bought of him. In
the trial it developed that Drake had
made his answer TO the complaint from
oral agreements which he remembered.
Later he was said to have found con-
tract which was included in his an
swer in an amended form, but he lost
the suit, Cline getting judgment for the
full amount. Before the suit had been
brought Drake had resold the boat to L.
V. Marsh, but Cline attached the boat
and took possession
Marsh then came back with suit on
the bonds which Cline gave at the time
of the seizure to insure Marsh that he
would lose nothing if he could prove
ownership of the boat
In the second suit Cline lost, the court
giving Marsh judgment for the amount
he had invested in the transaction. One
of Cline's bopdsmen was mis- step-father
]. Brown, who yesterday swore to the
complaint against Danforth.
1T is all spite work." declared Attor'
ney Danforth when seen late last even
ing.
II have been told by several persons
lately that Assistant District Attorney
North, who drew up the complain, ha6
said he didn't hope to convict Drake, but
he was cunning for me-
Last Saturday, in Norths office, the
latter is said to have offered Drake i'm
munity from further prosecution If he
would incriminate me-" continued Mr..
Danforth, "and that is the underlying
motive in the whole affair
''If there is any perjury connected with
this affair. why didn't the district attor-
ney's office get Cline's witness, Squires
Instead they gave him a chance to get
away, and row he can't be found in the
state.
Now, if this isn't all spite work, why
did they wait until after o'clock before
ordering my arrest?''
When asked what he meant by spite
work, Mr.. Danforth said:
This thing started three years ago
when l took the stump for Ona Morton
against Congressman McLachlan. who
was running at that time 1t was said
ther that 1 would suffer for It, and this
is the result"
