Discusses
Election Laus
Judge Mason read his charge to the
grand jury yesterday afternoon. The
charge was as follows:
Election Laws.

The law makes it the duty of the
court to call the attention Of the
grand Jury to the election laws OF the
State. All lava are alike to this
court. 1t Is Just as much my duty to
enforce one law as another. The
courts have no discretion In this re-
spect. But without disregarding any
other branch Of toe criminal Laws,
may say that | am exceedingly anx.
tous to have strictly enforced, all laws
enacted for the protection of the cleo.
tion franchise. This is government
OF the people. We express our prefer.
ence for man and policies at the bal.
lot box. If we cheat each other In this
respect we weaken the principles
upon which the government rests. The
man who loep It. is inota good citizen.
I know there 10 q common belief that
man may be dishenest In politics
and perfectly honest IN all other rela.
tons. This isa mistake: Men are not
honest in spots. They are honest or
dishonest. The man VINO viii cheat
his neighbor out of his vote will cheat
him out Of his money If he can con.
ceal It. The man who violates the
election laws does not deserve to be
called a Republican or a Democrat OF
by any other reputable name. He is a
law4breaker and criminal and should
be so regarded. He belongs to no par.
ty. He simply acts with that party
which for the time. affords him oppor.

II you are thin. your heath Is not
what 1t should be. If you are losing
weight steadily. there is something
wrong that should be attended to at
once. You cannot b. healthy and
strong. II you are thin.
This makes the thin and scrawny,
plump and robust; It mikes with the
food SO that ali OF the elements that
make solid bone. Arm muscle and
good flesh are thoroughly asRin1llatea

food thTt restores thin people to a
normal condition Of good healthy flesh.
There are thousands OF unhappy,
nervous thin people who would look

were only fat and plump. Let them
use sanlose and they will soon notice
remarkable results. Il
These statements are confirmed by

COMPARISONS ARE ODIoUs."
Bryan Showed Great Superiority Over
Taft at Banquet.

Chicago, Oct, Robustness men of
Chicago and the Mississippi Valley
States have had occasion to measure
Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Taft by the same
standard. Their appearance at the
banquet Of the Chicago Association
OF Commerce afforded that opportu-
nifty, and the result was decidedly to
the advantage OF the NebraSkan
While the event was entirely non-par-
tisan, Mr. Bryan showed his ability
to grasp and handle the situation
much better than did Mr.. Taft. His
remarks dealing with business con-
ditions and economies. production
and commerce and exchange upon
broad general principles convinced
his hearers that he was no mere aca-
demic student of affairs, but that he
had given deep study aud thou Eht
TO those subjects. He spoke freely
enlivening his address with pleasan-
tries which showed his marked ver-
sat.!ity, and the applause which his
telling points made showed clearly
that he had made a profound i'm
preston upon his distinguished audi
Nnce, composed as it was of both
Democrats and Republicans Mr..
Bryan spoke with perfect ease and
evidence Of sincerity, in marked con-
opponent, who, although he was
greeted with loud applause when he
arose to speak, proved disappoint-
ment even to his warmest admirers.
While Mr.. Bryan addressed himself
to line Of thought which was in
Keeping with the occasion, and which
was one Of interest to those gathered
at the dinner. MIR. Taft, after a few
pleasantries in opening, digressed to
discussion Of court procedure
which had little or nothing to do
with economic conditions. In fact
it was worked over. revamped edi-
tion OF previous address which he
made to the State Bar Association
in Virginia at the opening of the
campaign. 1t was heavy and lum-
ering and by reason Of the fact that
he was forced to read 1t, lost much
OF the effect which it might other
wist have produced. While Mr.
Bryan held the undivided interest
and attention OF his listeners
throughout, because Of the earnest
ness with which he presented his
views, Mr.. Taft's remarks following
threw wet blanket over the entire
proceedings.
Those who had gathered at the
dinner were at the outset ready to
aullll tnat MT. Iaft as an orator was
not In the same class with Mr.. Bryan,
but they were happily surprised at
the evidence of superiority which Mr..
Bryan displayed over Mr.. Taft in
treating his subject. and in his grasp
OF the fundamental principles under
lying business conditions. These
business men Of Chicago and their
guests from States Of the Missssippi
valley formed an opinion of Mr..
Bryan as a statesman, a view which
many of them had never been able
to comprehend before.
The result was great triumph
TOR the Democratic candidate. as
thoSe in attendance were able to
compare him with his political op-
ponent, and the general opinion was
that Mr.. Bryan made a much more
favorable impression than did Mr..
Taft.

game, and stated to the captain that
he had failed to escape because he
did not have time.
After Capt Gradick got Williams
| again In custody, the prisoner was
placed in another cell, untampered
with and closely guarded, until it
was time to take him ovel to the
! court room. He Is now under a
heavy guard, and will not be un-
watched while the Charleston au-
thorities have him in charge.
The story Of Williams plan of
the escape is interesting. 1t is
thought that he had assistance from
the outside, or within the jail. Sus-
picion points to a white man recently
sentenced to the gang for vagrancy,
stranger here, who has been sick
for the past two days and stayed in
| the Jail.
Williams used a picklock not yet
found to open the lock which held
down the cell lever to let him into
the cage. TO get out Of the cell cage
he sawed through the lock ring on
the cage door outside with a steel
saw made from corset rib. And to
unlock the corridor door that admit
ted him into the main hallway to the
trap door he used an ingeniously con.
trived wooden key that worked to
perfection. Taking his canvas cell
!,
strips and knotted "a stout rope.
Wrenching off a piece OF iron from
his washstand, he bent it into the
shape Of the letter S and had hook
attached to the rope, by which he
could grip the edge of the trap door
above him in the main hall and pull
himself into the loft. A tiny three
sided file was found on him with
which he made the saw teeth.
He must have worked for hours
on his job but Capt. Gradick, leav-
ing him at midnight and coming
back at $50, did not give the yegg-
man time to perfect his escape. His
plan was to make his way to the
roof and find or saw out an opening
and then let himself down into the
Jail yard and scale the wall with his
rope and hook. He carried along
two extra hammocks to lengthen his
rope with. The hook and hammocks
were found to-day in the Jail loft by
Assistant Jailer Rice.
The steel saw used by Williams Is
only about five inches long, with
some three inches of teeth cut into
one edge on the corset stay or rib.
The key used to unlock the corridor
door is Of hickory, with one end
rounded for the stem and pin. The
ward is made of two pieces of wood
closely fitted into slit cut into the
stem and tied with cord. The ward
and stem were waXed. 1t is thought
that Williams or a confederate OBJ
tanned a wax impression of the door
key, which Is carried sometimes by
trusty. The corset rib and file were
probably handed to Williams by a
confederate.
Not since the successful escape of
Woody has the decorum Of the Char
lesion Jail been so disturbed.
There Is no liz it to a sentence
for the offense committed by Will
liams. He was defended by Watson
G. Finger, who did as we'll as he
could with a bad case and a guilty
client. Williams was taken to CO.
lumbia this afternoon to begin the
serving of his sentence
