Cleveland, Taft and Bryan

The country is not surprised. Mr..
Cleveland could see In Bryan only a
demagogGe risen to fame chiefly on
the power OF his attack upon Cleve-
lands policies. Mr.. Cleveland had
nothing In common with Mr.. Bryan
except honesty. The Cleveland presi-
denotes marked the end of the Demo
cracy OF superficialism. Cleveland
stood for mugwumpery and the re-
spectability OF the property classes
and their parasites In the great pro-
fessions. He wasn't democratic at all,
except as 10 the tartff. and he ignored
that issue for the sound money issue.
Democracy became radical, chose
Bryan for leader. and renowned
Cleveland. Democracy moved onward.
Mr.. Cleveland was left behind. And
there he found Taft a congenial spirit
big, blum. kindly enough, solid mind
ed, welded TO precedent, and fond of
old set forms and idolatrous OF ef-
ficiency, but out OF touch with the
spirit OF the people. Taft is the man
that Cleveland naturally would like.
They have much in common, not the
least conspicuous similarity between
them being a ponderously otiose dis
approval OF movements emanating
from the mass and working toward
equality. They both have dread OF
the group OF toll They may be re-
corded as criticising. more or less

tain times are "in the air" He fights

government as a creation of man,
rather than men the wards Of q

The Cannon Canker.

The North American is no blind par
tisan. We see in Cannon a peril TO
the election of Taft. Yet whenever
Mr.. Bryan assails Cannon or any of
Cannon's clique In the right and not
the wrong way we shall approve his
censure and uphold his hands to the
best OF our ability. Because whenever
Bryan does such work he is serving
real Republicanism and strengthening
the hands of Taft, Hughes and all
other of the real Republicans who be.
lieve In Rooseveltism
There Is no use 10 blind ourselves
to a danger before our eyes. There
is a sentiment that is not healthy
among the masses OF Republican vot-
ers. 1t Is not apathy. IL Is disgust

state nor section. II is as strong on
the Pacific coast as in Illinois: as
strong in New York as In the baili-
wick OF La Toilette. 1t is wrong. But
none the less 1t Is strong.
It Is based on impatience-on the
old haste of wanting Rome built in a

That feeling is due to knowledge OF

IL Is due TO the blocking of many of
the plans OF the Roosevelt administra-

CALCUTTA TERRORIZED BY
MANY POLITICAL CRIMES
Attempt to Stay Lieutenant Governor
of Bengal Is Followed by
Murder of a De-
tectlVe

CALCUTTA, Nov. 10.-This city is
terrorized by an outbreak of political
crimes. The attempt made three days
ago on the life of Sir Andrew H. L.
Fraser, the lieutenant governor of Ben
gal was followed by a murder last
evening.
A Bengal detective who had been act
i've in trailing the revolutionists, was
shot down on a crowded street by three
men, who riddled his body with bull
lets.
The people fear to give information
concerning the criminals lest vengeance
be visited upon them.
The police are powerless. One of the
natives who was found guilty of muir
dering a man named Gossans last sum-
mer was hanged today. Gossans was
native, who turned states evidence
against a number of conspirators, and
was killed in a cell of the Alipur Jail
by two fellow prisoners.
All the police reserves of the city
have been ordered on duty to prevent
sympathetic demonstrations.
In the course of trial at Midnapur,
Bengal, in connection with discovery
of arms and explosives. police in
former testified that one of the ac-
cused had told him that many cases of
rifles and revolvers had been shipped
from America to Bombay under the
guise of sewing machines and cotton
goods

MURDERER TALKS
FROM THE GRAVE
CORONER RECORDS VOICES ON
PH0NOGRAPH
System Introduced In Chicago Where

the GaIows Can Be
Preserved

CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-That grewsome
figure of speech, Listening to a voice
from the grave has become a start
ling reality.
Any unbeliever to verify this state
ment has only to visit the office of
Coroner Hoffman some time in the
near future and hear the voices Of
murderers making their last denials
or detailed confessions, after they have
paid the p~nalty for their misdeeds.
These voices of the dead are to be-
come a portion of the county records.
They will take their place among the
musty files of the coroner's office and
when necessary may he used in court.
The verbal statement of man who
is dead seldom finds it's way into
court at present, except as repeated
by another, but this is one of the
promises of the new system.
The phonograph has already been
used in one important murder case
that of Mrs. Fannie Thompson, who
was strangled in a Michigan avenue
roomlng house.
The story of Luman c. Mann, ac-
cused of being the mysterious Ray
mond' who rented the room in which
the woman was murdered, has been
transferred to one of the records and
may be heard among tl-o other voices
which the coroner is preserving in
monographs.

FOUR KILLED IN
RED BLUFF AUTO
TRAIN CRASHES INTO PARTY
AT HIGH Sized
Three Women and Man Meet Instant
Death, and Another Victim,
Girl Aged IA, Is Badly
Injured
[Rs Associated Press.l

RED BLUFF, Nov. 10.-Four persons
were instantly killed and young girl
was injured near here today when a
special train bearing division officials
of the Southern Pacific railroad
crashed into an automobile at the
crossing of the county road and the
railroad, while running at a high rate
of speed.
The victims of the disaster were all
occupants of the touring car and were
hurled 200 feet through the air when
the engine struck the machine, as 1t
was half way across the track. The
dead are:
George X. willard.
Mrs. willard.
Miss Olive willard.
Mrs. Irene Hayes Of Wallace. San Joa-
quin county.
Imogene Willard, the 14-year-old
daughter of the Willards, was found
clinging to the cowcatcher of the en-
gine, badly cut and bruised, but other
wise unhurt.
Was Slightly Deaf
Mr.. Willard, who was so years old,
and a retired merchant was slightly
deaf and as he was 1t the wheel OF
the wrecked machine, which belonged
to him, the accident is attributed to
his affliction.
The engineer of the tran saw the
danger at once but it was too late TO
stop, and the engine struck the auto
mobile about in the center, lifting 1t
into the air by the force of the blow
and strewing it, a scattered mass OF
wreckage, along the right of way, while
the occupants of the machine were shot
xrrifh a fOTrn that
hurled them 200 feet away, where they
struck in crumpled heaps beside the
track.
Superintendent on Scene
AS soon as the train could be brought
to a standstill General Superintendent
Young of the road, with other officials
of the Sacramento, Western Coast and
Shasta divisions of the road, occupied
the special and hurried back to the
scene of the disaster, accompanied by
the train crew.
They came first upon the bodies of
Mr.. Willard, his wife and daughter,
and that of Miss Hayes. but they were
beyond all human aid. The officials
then looked at the front of the engine,
and, elinging to the iron work about
the cowcatcher, they found, lmogene
Willard dazed with fright and cut ana
bruised on the head and face, but with
out serious hurt.
The bodies were gathered up and
placed aboard the train and everything
possible was done for the injured girl.
Then the half mile run to this city
was made.
According to the train crew OF the
special, the automobile carried no
lights and the engineer did not see 1t
until 1t was too late to check the mo-.
mentum of the train.
Mr.. Willard was a prominent hgure
in commercial circles in this city Tor
over fifty years, having but eight
months ago sold his flour mills and
general merchandise business. After
his retirement he determined TO axe
the rest of his life easily, and pur-
chased the automobile in which ne was
killed as a means to this end. He was
so years old.
Mrs. Hayes was the postmistross, at
Wallace and was visiting cousin nv
ing in this city, Mrs. w. H: Fisher
She expected to return to her nome to-
morrow.
