RESPITE FOR HARRINGTON
The Bogus Lord Was to be Hanged
July IS.
Gov. Folk Of Missouri Granted stay Of
Exeeutlon-May Commute Sen
tence 10 Life Imprisonment.

jefferson City, July "a Gov. Foil
granted a respite Of 80 days Tuesday
to Lord Frederick Seymore Barring
ton, under sentence to be hanged in
Clayton, Mo-, July rs for the murder
of James P. Mccain.
Gov Folk gave as his reason for
granting the respite to harrington
that he desired to have time to fully
investigate and consider the petition
presented by Judge Graves and Judge
Valiant OF the state supreme court
for the Communication Of Barrington's
death sentence.
There is q question In the gov
errors mind in the identification OF
the body claimed to be that OF Nc
Cam because Of the lapse of time be-
tween his disappearance and the re-
covery Of the dead body in the pond
in st. Louis county Eleven days had
elapsed and there was some expert
testimony at the trail to the effect
that Identification was impossible at
that time.
After Gov. Folk had granted re-
spite Of 80 days to Darlington 1t was
discovered the end of the respite
would eliminate on Sunday August
rs. The governor thereupon added
one day more Of grace to make the
execution fall on Monday, August rs.
James P. Mccain, whom Barring
ton Is accused Of numbering, was St,
Louis horseman, who took the bogus
lord into his home after harrington
had been released from the work
house where he had spent. term as
q result of his marriage to Miss Grace
Wilhelmina Cochrane Of Kansas City,
Kan, while posing as titled English
officer. Mr.. Mccain and harrington
went out one night to see some
friends In st. Louis county.
harrington came back wearing Nc
Cams hat and coat. His story about
a fight with two men and McCann's
driving away with two women didn't
hang together very well and Barring
ton was arrested. Later the body of
MoCann was found in a quarry pond
harrington insisted that the body was
not that of Mccain and that he was
innocent. He said Mccain would re-
turn some time. The wife OIL Mccain
for time believed Darlington, but
later asserted that she believed the
body to be that Of her husband.

DANGER ON THE SANTA FE

There were two locomotive boilers
exploded recently on the Santa Fe
railway; one at Needles, Cal, where
tho fireman was killed and three of
the train crew injured. Tho other
boiler went up at Los Vegas, N. M.
which killed the engineer, fireman and
brakeman. This makes three engine
explosions on the Santa Fe since the
first of the year.
The trouble with the engines on the
Santa Fe is that the maehinists and
boiler makers are on strike against
the premium system and other griev-
ances. The railroad cannot get good
mechanics to scab, although they have
secured the country far and wide to
obtain them. The scabs who are en-
ployed by the Santa Fe are anything
but boiler makers and maehinists
The result Of all this is great number
of wrecks and boiler explosions; it
is safe TO say that there are more
wrecs on the Santa Fe for tonnage
hauled than on any other railroad in
the country. Ninety per cent of the
wrecks on that road are caused by
defective motive power or rolling

Peace Instead of War

Socialism is very simple, very easy
to understand by any one who has
not an animal mind or capitalist
mind, or a mind incapable of com
pretending a cooperative or fighting
barbarism.
There is no good reason why a
workingman should not be Socialist.
There is every reason why he should
be Socialist
The appeal of socialism is so strong
that some capitalists have acquired
the minds of classconscious working.
men. They have renounccd their class
and come over into the working class,
not literally, but in their minds and
hearts. They are thinking and acting
as IL they were workingmen. But
these cannot save the workingman
from wage slavery There are not
enough of them. workingmcn must
save themselves, by thinking and vot-
ing for themselves aud by casting their
ballots for the Socialist party, under
the emblem Of the torch on the official
ballot next election.

Low Wages

If you have no thoughts on the sub
ject of your place in life, but, when
election day comes around, you vote
the Republican or Democratic ticket,
you belong to the capitalist class, for
both these are capitalist parties. These
parties represent the wage system.
They advocate child labor, wife labor
and man labor for the cheapest pos
sible wage.
The saddest thing in the world is
a working man with a capitalist mind.
He is not to be blamed, for we are all
the creatures of circumstances, but he
is to be pitied and saved, IL possible.
