EUGENE scHMITz. CONVICT

From leader of a theater orchestra
to the mayoralty chair, from the may.
orally chair to a prison cell. and all
this in the space of three years, Is
rapid transition for Eugene Schmitz;
and the shifting sands of time have
brought to the phenomenal city OF
the Golden Gate strange experiences,
in the rise of the politico-labor move
ment, the earthquake and the arrest
and conviction of her mayor on the
charge of eXtortion.
Mayor Schmitz was elected as pro
test to the usurpation of municipal
authority by selfish Influences. but he
was not elected by the better element
of union labor, which is identical
with the better element of the bust
ness and professional world. He rep
resented the spirit of the mob; his
instincts were predatory, and his adj
ministration supplanted the greed of
gainful enterprises, with the greed
of the extortioner; the mal-adminis-
tration of the political tool with the
depredations of the common thief.
Yet. Mayor Schmtz may have been
a good musician. Left in the realm
for which he was fitted. and which is
as honorable as any calling on earth,
he might have remained. to all in
tents, an honest man. He is not a
monster. He Is just human. and he
fell victim to a very human tempta-
ton to steal according to his lights
and gifts. Had his scquisitive train
ing and his observation been other
wise he might have stolen in a more
conventional and approved fashion.
and even now been enjoying the
fruits OF his assiduity and the es-
teen Of his fellOwmen.
Let us not Judge eugene Schmitz.
convict, too harshly for his mistakes
His experience may but warn other
thieves to be more careful.

that somebody, the humane officer
for instance, be appointed probation
officer, to look after these boys ani
their guardians. II will cost little.
m 1t should cost thousands ana save
one embryo criminal, who light
otherwise have Developed into a MIR
derer or robber, Paducah woIld be
the gamer. But it Will not cost
enough to be missed, and we are pos
tive that the system, instituted on a
small scale will eventually prove so
meritorious that 1t will be extended,
so as to comprehend the surveillance
of children, not as yet brought before
the court for actual criminal prac-
tises.
II is wicked. cruel and unjust to
punish boys. who go wrong because of
physical defects, or improper home
training and influence, when their
physical defects might be corrected,
and their natural guardians compell-
ed to do their duty by the youths. II
will avail us nothing to punish people
for wrong doing, when they may re
turn at the expiration of their period
of punishment, instructed in crime,
and hearts filled with hate against
their own kind, who spurn them as
branded criminals, to prey on society
again. It is cheaper and better to
take them in hand and correct them
while young, If we look only to the
material, selfish side of the question.
On the other hand, these boys have
q, right to demand an even chance in
the world. Under adverse conditions
they don't have that chance. Judge
Gross has made his duties and obliga-
tions and work an hundred fold more
difficult and complex by his expert
ment, but having taken the step he
must not turn back; and, who knows.
there may be more substantial re-
wards for the man whose labors make
the Paducah city court an institution
of Justice to the unfortunate, instead
of a mill to stamp the worlds cruel
on its victims.

No DISADVANTAGES IN NAVY.
Proposed Yankee Warships Of ENclu-
si,c Class and Excel British.

Washington, ID. c July 9.--"There
Is no such thing as an American
Dreadnought' nor is any projected"
said a naval officer today. He was re-
ferring to the two great 10000 ton
battleships. contracts for which have
just been Professionally awarded. and
which were mentioned in the congress
sionaI debates and newspapers as Of
the DreadnouEht class.
THE new ships should be called
the Delaware class. as the first vessel
of the kind usually fixes the name OF
the class.
"The i2 inch guns OF the British
vessels are carried in two turrets on
the central lines from bow to stern
and In two waist or side turets.
Guns of the Delaware type are placed
IN four turets In line with the keel.
The advantage of the latter ar
rangement Is the ability to bring ev-
cry one OF the guns of the primary
batteries of the shir to bear upon an
opponent on either side. while rs per
cent of the British FIRE would be
masked under like circumstances.
There are also numerous changes
In the Interior arrangements. and. on
the whole save from the fact that the
tonnage OF the two classes are alike
and turbine machinery is TO he used
for the propeller's power. the Ameri-
can Delaware does not resemble the
Dreadnought. nj

JUDGE CROSS OPPORTUNITY.

In releasing two youths, guilty of
a bizarre sort of robbery, on their
recognizance to remain under sur
VIGILANCE of the court until they have
justified their promises of reformation
to the courts satisfaction, Police
Judge ID. A. Cross, has, perhaps,
saved two boys from lives of crime,
and society from the future depreda-
tions of two grown criminals. I'm
qfestionably. the lesson of their ar
pest will have made lasting impress

'of their natural guardians will be re
doubled Had they gone to the re-
form CD school, their criminal car

Engineer SwansOn's Nerve and
Luck Save Passengers
Engine Wheel Cast Tire Going nj
Full Speed and Split Switch
i'm Safety.
PASSENGERS ARE THANKFUL

Sticking to his post, knowing that
every second might mean certain
death, Engineer Carl Swanson stop
ped passenger train, No. 1903, run
ming south from Louisville on the IL
illinois Central, shortly after O'Clock
this morning at Bratchet, a station
125 miles north of Paducah, prevent
ing what would doubtless have been
the most serious passenger wreck in
years. Flying at the rate of 60 miles
an hour. his engine cast OFF tire,
and splitting a switch, took to a sid
ling. Swanson with rare presence of
mind worked his throttle shut, APP
piled air and sand and waited for
either the crash or grinding stop
of the wheels.
The train, which was pulled by en-
CINE, No. 2,0O3, was in charge of
Engineer Carl Swanson. Fireman H..
Il. Dycus, Conductor Kenney and
Flagman j. d. Gilmore. The train
stopped at Horse Branch, and had
gotten fully under way agy8n when
Bratchet station was approached. No
stop is made here, and Swanson was
working his engine to her capacity
to make up lost time. Suddenly
there was a ringing sound, and a sud
den swerve and bump of the big en-
CINE. Knowing too well what had
happened, Swanson damned his
throttle shut, applied air and sand
and waited.
Suddenly with a violent swerving
motion that nearly threw Swanson
and his fireman from the cab. the big
engine took the siding. Swanson
realized that the switch had been
split by the cast of tire. The. afr
took hold and soon the speed slack
ened. and by the time the entire
train had cleared the main line and
was on the siding, she came to a
stop.
The tire on the right rear driver
had been cast off. Nine times out OF
ten such an accident would have
meant the engine being ditched, the
rolling stock reduced to kindllng
wood, and passengers lives snufied
tout.
When passengers. Tudely awakened
from their slumbers. alighted from
the trai nto investigate. Engineer
Swanson was the center of attraction
and the hand shaking lasted for many
minutes.
Freight engine, No. 237. was dis
patched from Horse Branch and
pulled the train to Paducah. The
passenger engine was left on the sid
ing, and the train pulled into Padu-
cah two hours and a half late.
