THE PLEDGE

How about that promise of legis-
lative candidates to vote for the
peoples choice of U. 8. senator?
The declarations of candidacy to
be filed with the county auditor

been overlooked. No filings can be
made until tomorrow morning but
in the drawings for place that have
already been held no mention was
made of the senatorial pledge In
the form to be used.

of the tariff would be unwise. This
assertion has been repeated in ad-
vance of every election since the
enactment of the Dingley law and
surly the country will not again be
deceived by republican promises
to revise the tariff after the cleo
ton.
Their appeal to the people is
this: Give-us-another chance to
make you a promise and the prom
ise will be made.
What does protection mean?
Under the republican policy OF
protection, the people, the consum-
ers, while paying little over $780,
900 900 per year into the treasury
through import duties on foreign
goods, pay between $1,250,000,0 900
and 1880, 100000 a year in the
enhanced price of home produced
goods. 1t is safe to say that the
people pay at least SIS to the al
ready wealthy beneficiaries Of pro-
tectionism for every dollar that Is
paid into the treasury. Behind the
wall Of high protection, which in
some cases Is altogether prohibit
i've, the trusts levy enormous tri-
butte on the people. This amounted
to not less than $4,000, 10000 in
the last decade"

Commissioner Wetzel explains
that Wolf claims he sprinkled out

claim Is accepted. Thousands of

Another discrimination has been

been granted the right to sprinkle

Those are the hours when house

Chas. Wolf, head of the White

before the water commissioner on
a charge of unlawfully using city
water to irrigate six acres OF White

MURDER OF PRETTY TEACHER
BATTLES CHICAGO DETECTIVES

Special Correspondence to The Press
CHICAGO, July 9.--Mystery in
the death of Mrs. Frances Thomp-
son, school teacher of Fargo, N.
D., is furnishing one Of the most
battling murder cases Chicago de-
tectives have worked on In months.
A beautiful young woman MUIR
dered by a stranger, who used a
small cord such as Is used by the
garroters Of Paris-this is an out
line of the mystery as 1t presents
itself to the police.
Puzzled as TO the motive for the
crime, puzzled rs to the identity Of
the murderer or murderers, the po-
lice are almost hopeless of pene-
trating the mystery.
The victims nude body was
found In a rooming house at 1919
Michigan avenue. She had been
bound hand and foot with the same
kind of cord used to choke her to
death. A mans finger prints were
on the neck of the corpse. A heavy
towel and mans handkerchief,
with the initials "B" embroidered
in one corner, had been showed
down the womans throat, effectual-
ly sitting her death cries.
A tall, thin, misunderstanding man,
who wore glasses and posed as the
woman's husband, is the principal
suspect. His real identity is UNI
known. He accompanied Mrs.
Thompson to the rooming house.
He disappeared before the body was
found.
Mrs. Thompson lived with her
husband, Edward H. Thompson, in
Fargo, for six months after being
marriage. Then she left him and
came to Chicago. The police con-
slider it possible he followed her,

0bEyS LAW BUT
WHAT'S USE?

What are you going to do in a
case where you turn the hydrant
off at p. m. and can prove that
you did so; yet find the water shut
off and a $3.50 fine to pay in the
morning because somebody got a
drink at the hydrant in the night
and left it running?
This is the problem propounded
by p. b. Martin, who lives at Fifth
and Allen. His hydrant is handy
to the railroad yards and every sort
of thirsty creature from brakemen
to bum quench their thirst at Mar
tins expense. He says he can
prove that he obeyed the ordinance
last night, but an inspector hap
pened along while Martin was
sleeping and found the water run
ming. The water department de-
clined to take jurisdiction beyond
the simple conclusion that Mar
tins hydrant was running out of
hours and Martin must pay the
penalty. The city couldn't be re-
sponsible for night providers who
might trifie with the hydrant. They
made Martin pay and what he
wants to know now is whether he
is expected to place guard over
the hydrant night and day in order
to avoid regular fines. This is a
matter the water department is
willing to leave up TO him. Ii is
his hydrant AMI he is accountable
for its conduct.
