BAkIsHED
Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cot.
fee even after they know 1t is doing
them harm, is puzzler. :. But 1t is an
easy matter to give It up for good,
when Postum Food Coffee is properly
made and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been
suffering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
"One day asked her why she did
not give. up coffee as cousin Of mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But Mother was such slave to coffee
she thought 1t would be terrible to
give 1t up.
Finally, one day, >she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
While she was drinking Postum SO
freely and with such relish asked for
a taste.
"That started me on Postum and l
! now, drink 1t more freely than did
coffee, which never comes Into our
house now.
"a girl friend OF mine, one day, saw
me drinking Postum and asked II 1t
was coffee. l told her it was Postum
and gave her some to take home, but
forgot to tell her how to make 1t.
THE next day she said she did not
see how could drink Postum. Hound
she had made It like ordinary coffee.
( So told her how to make 1t right
and gave her a cupful made, after
boiling 1t fifteen minutes. She said
she never drank any coffee that tasted
as good, and now coffee Is banished

oneN Editor,a ADVICE

A western editor in recent number
of his paper says: I'VE again desire
to cali our readers attention to the
fact that they should buy everything
they use from home merchants, and
not aid in. building up large establish
ments in a distant city. Did you ever
stop to think that every cent you buy
at home aids the city in which you
live, and all you send away drains the
city OF that much OF the medium of ex-
change that should remain at home?
The stability Of your home institutions
depends upon you and you alone. You
do not believe that, but remember
when you speak Of other persons 1t is
said as you, and when thus explained
means you. Your trade at home will
make better mercantile establish
ments and a better city. The next
time you are possessed with spirit
Of getting something away from home,
gently call a halt and go to your home
merchants and call for what you want
and In nine cases out of ten you will
find the desired article, but should you
fail, ask the merchant to get it for
you and see how rapidly he will &C.
commodate you, and when the price is
named and you compare 1t with tho
catalogue you will be agreeably. sur
prised Discard the idea that you
must get something from distance.
but instead buy at home and every
citizen become an advertising medium.
and you will be surprised at the result.
Don't say That article does not apply
to me. for what little I get away from
home does not amount to anything
You are mistaken, for every little put

The Country Editor.

II conscientious effort and merit

son why the country editor should
not expect to- swear golden crown

surely one in which his usefulness is
limited only by his ability to work.
1t may be a debatable question wheth

the town does for the editor. 1t may
be true that one of. the greatest sins
that can be laid at his door Is that OF
poyerty-not poverty of brain but OF

eminent of an unappreciative people,

HARRISBURG GRAFT CASE.
End of First Conspiracy Trial Ex
pected at Close of Week.

HARRISBURG. Pa, March 9.-When
court opened for the seventh week in the
capitol conspiracy trial Percy Allen Rose
began his address in behalf of James Shu-
maker. former superintendent of public
grounds and buildings. Mr.. Rose contended
that no conspiracy had been proved and
that Shumaker had not been connected
with any wrongdoing.
Lawyers for the defendants in the capl-
tol contract trial have arranged to limit
their speeches to the jury as much as
possible. SO that the case may be closed
before Friday. In order to give them ex-
ira time, an agreement was announced
this morning extending the hours of court.
There will be five more speeches on be-
half of the defendants and it is hoped
to complete them by Tuesday night SO
that the commonwealth may have Wed!
nesday and part of Thursday for it's sum-
ming up Judge Kunkel will deliver his
charge on Thursday afternoon, if this plan
can be carried out
There was definite announcement that
the next case to be tried would be made
known by the end of this week although
counsel for the defendants are anxious
for earlier information. The next trial
will begin March 23, and lawyers for both
sides say they do not desire postpone

CLOSE RACE IN IOWA.
Cummins and Allison Factions Strug.
Cling for Control.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DE,S MOLNES Iowa, March 3.-The I'll
tanic struggle between the Allison and
Cummins factions was carried over halt
way to its final termination by the hold
ing of eighteen county conventions Sat
urday afternoon. Fifty-five out of Iowa s
ninety-nine counties have thus far held
conventions. The balance will be held
this week These conventions are for the
electing of delegates to the state conven-
ton, which is to determine the factional
complexion Of the Iowa delegation to the
national convention.
The senatorial issue is not involved but
the two factions are fighting for the con-
troll of the convention, believing the out
come may have an important bearing
upon the senatorial primaries to be held
in June.
The state convention will be composed
of .1S} delegates. The Allison forces ap-
pear to have :sSo delegates thus far and
the Cummins forces a3S. The remaining
counties are believed to be quite evenly
divided. with the chances somewhat in
Alison'S favor.
One of the surprises of Saturday was
the split in the Des Moines county con-
vention at Burlington. the home of ]. w.
Blythe. the Burlington railway politician.
and the sending of two delegations to the
state convention. This was supposed to be
an Allison stronghold. On the other hand

PRIEST MURDERER IS TRIED
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST VIO-
LENCE IN DENVER.
Spectators Closely Scrutinized and
All Suspicious Characters Ex-
cluded From Court

DENVER, March 9.-Anticpating the
presence of a large crowd at the opening
of the trial today of Giuseppe Ala. the
Siciian who in cold blood murdered
Father Leo Heinrichs of ST. Elizabeth S
Church while he was giving the sacra-
ment Sunday, February 23, Sheriff Alex
ander Nisbet had stationed deputies along
the walks and in the entranceways lead
ing from the Jail to the courtroom, and
also in the courtroom itself This pre-
caution was taken to Illustrate any at
tempt at mob violence, although the au-
thorities, do not look for any real out
break of this kind.
Alias case was the first on the Grim
inaf docket and Judge GreeIy NJ. White
ford, who is taking his turn on the GRIM
inal bench. had ordered present an open
panel of 100 veniremen.
Plans of the Defense.
1t was expected that the defense Of
fered by R. II. Widdecomb. represe nting
Ala by appointment of the court. would
advance the theory of insanity, and to
be prepared for combating this defense
the prosecution has summoned eight. of
the most skillful brain specialists in the
city to be present for the purpose of OBJ
serving the defendant and thus be in
readiness to give expert opinion as to his
sanity.
The defense had arranged also for three
alienists to serve their side
Attorney Widdecomb indicated early in
the examination of veniremen that he
would make the question of a prospective
juryman's allegiance to the Roman Cath
olic faith the cause for challenging him
as to his qualification to serve.
When Ala was taken from the Jail to
the courthouse he was under guard of
Sheriff Nisbet and four deputies, each
armed with brace of revolvers. Each
man was given explicit instructions to
keep the jail grounds clear. and to arrest
any one who showed any evidence of in
tention to attack the prisoner. or any one
that might be trying to stir up the crowd
to making a demonstration. Spectators
in the courtroom were ordered to be
closely scrutinized. and all suspicious
characters were excluded from the build
ing. The trial was called promptly at

might repeat those criticisms in detail
and thus make each answer the other:
but I believe ! can employ the time of
the Senate better in exposing the fallacy
OF both.
Il am as much opposed TO initiation as
any living man: and | am opposed to il
both as a matter of principle and Il
matter of duty to my constituents. The
intelligent and Industrious men in Texas
who are engaged in the cultivation of cot
ton would suffer much by an initiation of
the currency, which would increase the
price OF almost every article which they
buy: and they would not benefit by the
general rise of prices thus produced. be-
cause the price OF their cotton is fixed in
the great markets of the world where the
currency of the United States eXerts no
influence over prices.
1T is universally accepted as an axiom
that the currency of a country can only
anect the prices of those commodities
whose prices are fixed in the local mar
keis of that country: and no amount of
currency issued in this country can affect
the price of commodities in other coun-
tries. except so far. and only far. as
the use of that currency may diminish
our demand for gold. This is only another
way of stating the obvious economic truth

CANAL OF LITTLE GOOD
FORMER PANAMA ENGINEER
SEES NO VALUE IN 1T.

NEW HAVEN. Conn. March 9.-John
F. Stevens. vice president of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad
Company. and former chief engineer
Of the Panama canal, has issued state
ment regarding the latter enterprise. in
which he prophesies failure of the under
taking. Mr.. Stevens says that the canal
will not help the United States in its
trade with South America. as practically
all the nha bitants of the southern con-
tinent are on the east of the Andes.
Mr. Stevens also says that in our COM
mercial relations with the islands of. the
Pacific and the far east the canal will
be of little value. Our coal and wheat
centers are inland Their products have
to be started on their way by rail. When
once loaded. cars it would not be
cheaper to ship to the Atlantic and then
ship to the east by the way of the canal
than it would be to send directly to the
on board ship. Furthermore. Mr..
Stevens believes that our coal supply is
fast diminishing and that China will be
the source of future coal supply.
Siberia. he says. will be the wheat
country of the future, with India as a
close second
Mr. Stevens maintains that the Panama
canal will not meet expenses, and 1t will
cost more than is expected. 1t Will be
an advantage but an advantage to Euro
pean countries. and not to us. The date
of the finishing of the canal he fixes as
January, 1915.
The idea of the canal being of great
value to us in times of warfare. since our
naval forces can be quickly sent from
one coast to the other. he says. is absurd.
1t would take days for the ships to get
around and during that time hostile
shells could have done their work. Mr..
Stevens believes that 1t would be far
wiser plan of defense to put the money
that the canal will cost into greater
navy.

CURBIRG THE ANARCHISTS
DISCIPLE OF EMMA GOLDMAN
ARRESTED IN CHICAGO.
Sermons Against the Terrorists in
Many Pulpits Yesterday-All
Creeds Agree.

CHICAGO. March 9.-The police yester-
day arrested Emmanuel Loebe, aged
thirty-five. a garment presser who was
found distributing some of Emma Gold
mans anarchistic circulars at 14th and
Halstead streets. The circulars attacked
Chief Shippy for killing Averbuch and de-
manded right of free speech. The police
contiscated several hundred of them. Aft
a quantity of anarchistic literature was
found.
Assistant Chief Schuettler has obtained
a sample of Averbuch's handwriting. 1t
corresponds in every particular with the
writing on the envelope containing the
decoy letter. that the assassin had taken
to Chief Shippy's house, indicating that
Averbuch had written it,
Anarchy Assailed in Pulpits.
Anarchy was assailed by Protestant.
Roman Catholic and Jewish divines in

characterization of the doctrine of vio-
lence. with the Car of Russia held re-
sponsible for it's world wide spread. 4
menace. to the world was another.
What repeatedly was referred to as the
American nations pressing problem was
approached from various standpoints. The
two extremes were represented by those
who maintained that even repressive
measures in dealing with the condition
were folly. and by one who declared that
manifestations of anarchy and even the
preaching of its principles should be made
crimes punishable with death.

Senator Bailey of Texas, to whose sub
stitute for the Aldrch emergency cur
rency bill the democrats are expected tc
rally when it comes time to vote. ad
dressed the Senate this afternoon on the
pending bill and on the general subject
of finance. He gave notice last week
that he would speak at o'clock this aft
ernoon and the galleries were crowded
In view of the fact that he is looked upon
as the leader of the minority in the
present financial debate. there was also
an unusually large attendance of senators
in the chamber.
Favors Change of Law.
In voicing his views on the currency
question Senator Bailey devoted himself
chiefly to a consideration of the Aldrici
bill and of his own substitute for that
bill. He did not disagree with the pur-
pose of the measure of the Rhode Island
senator. but did find fault with many OF
its proposed methods of meeting finan-
cial strngency. He favored the issuance
Of paper money by the government in
stead of by the banks. the changing of
the law with regard to reserves and the
enactment of the law throwing more linn
itations around the banks in the matter
of the contracting of the currency.
President Roosevelt also received atten-
tion from the senator from Texas during
his speech. He declared the President S
utterances had not caused the recent
panic but he also paid his respects to
Mr.. Roosevelt in terms that were Tar
from entirely complimentary.
Under any financial system said
Senator Bailey in opening his argument,
'.it will always happen in new and
rapidly developing country like ours that
extraordinary situations will arise and
extraordinary provision must be made
to meet them.
Would Prevent Panics.
He then went on to say that it is enough
to know that panics occur in this country
often enough to make the enactment OF
laws to prevent them. or to help to pre-
vent them, necessary. Such laws have
been enacted by the great nations of Eu
rope, he said. with the result that panics
are less frequent in these countries. Con.
tinuing, he said i'm part:
Both the bill of the majority and the
substitute or the minority provide for ar
issue of $500 200. 900: and they have beer
assailed from opposite directions and with
opposite arguments. Some critics de-
nounce them as dangerous initiation: anC
others declare that they will fail to give
any relief. because they are too exactine
in the security which they require. =.

Comments in certain newspapers misrep-

was not within the province of the COM
