William H. Taft were mentioned by

MURDERED
So Claims Mother Of Enlisted
Man Who Was Killed in
Escaping From the Guard
House !

San Francisco, CAL, Aug. 12.-Mrs.
Mary English, mother of Private En-
glish of the coast artillery, who was
shot and killed by sentry while at
tempting to escape from the guard
house at the Preside last Wednes-
day, declares that she will bring a
murder charge against Private Ryan,
who did the shooting, and also in
stitute suit for damages in the sum
of 100000 against the United States
government.
English, according to his mother
statement, had not recovered from
an illness which led to his treatment
at the insane ward prior to his hon
orable discharge in January. He
later re-enlisted but Mrs. English
says that his troubles came back
and that he should have been sent
to the hospital, not to the guard
house. Private Ryan is now being
tried by the court martial for the
shooting of English, this being the
military practice in such cases. ST.

Jap official Says His Coun.

Into Building Big Navy

p. r. ( Fss-Z 4
Toxic, Aug. 12.-Count Okuma, in
an interview published by the Hochi,
attributes the present naval expan-
sion policy of the United States to the
sudden rise of Japan to the import
ance of a world power. The inter-
view says in part:
Judging from the fragmentary
speeches of President Roosevelt as
they have been transmitter here, II
is not difficult to infer that the aug.
nentation of the United States navy
in the Pacific is directed at JAPAN
Count Okunaa doubts, however, that
the views and ideas of President
Roosevelt will long continue to gov.
ern public opinion in America.

The Prohibition nominee for the
presidency will make an extended
tour Of the country and is booked for
four places in North Dakota, at Far
go, Hillsboro, Valley City and Bis
marck, appearing at the latter place
on the evening of August 26. We
do not recall that North Dakota has
been honored before with an address
by a Prohibition candidate for the
presidency, and while the vote of the
state will not be cast for him, he
will receive an interested and re-
spectful hearing. 1t is the general
opinion that prohibition alone can
not be made such an issue as will
carry majoriey of the ELECTORAL
votes of the country. There must
be a harmonious concord of moral,
social, industrial and economic is
sues upon which to build party of
national weight and influence. At
fthe same time the Prohibition party
keeps up a solid organization of the
people of the country who look up
'on liquor as the chief evil and the
of the traffic as the chief
good. And an address from the head
OF that party will be worth hearing
and should contain much that is of
interest and benefit.

VOLCANO AS A GAS RANGE.

How Mrs. E. O. Hovey Made Mount
PeIee Cook Her Meals.
Camping on a volcanoes edge and
cooking over crater is the experience
of Mrs. Edmund Otis Hovey, wife of
the assistant curator Of the geological
department of the American Museum
of Natural History in New York. They
recently returned from Martinique and
Mount Pelee. Mrs. Hovey is the first
woman to spend a night on the noun
tain since the eruption of 1902.
"Our camp was on the top Of the
mountain and about $50 feet from the
crater" said DR.. Hovey. MRS. Hovey
entered into the spirit Of our campaign
with great energy. The crater sup
piled us with heat equal to that of a
gas range, and we cooked from huge
vents, the steam registering about
1000 degrees.
"Mrs. Hovey insisted upon accom-
panying me, even on my most perilous
journeys. We went to the cone Of
Mount Pe1ee, and danger attended the
climb, as the slope is covered with
loose stones and rocks. Around the
cone revolves a constant gale.
1.-THE volcano has been steadily de-
creasing in activity since 1902, and this
has encouraged the natives to fresh eff
forts of restoration and agriculture on
the eastern side.
after breaking camp at Mount Pc
lee we started for st. Vincent, where
La Sourriere was in eruption at the
time Of the Pelee disaster. This vol
cano has suspended. A, ST. Pierre the
ruins were picturesque, and the place
looked like ruin Of hundred years
ago. A few houses had been cleared

Grass and weeds grow over the walls

years ago. Our first camp was pitched
about 1000 feet above sea level. The
cone of Mount Pelee. which was 1,00(
feet above the mountain In 1908, has
broken off, and the new cone is 50t
feet lower"

Safety Waive FOR vesssvius.

An Italian scientist proposes to sup
ply safety valve for yesuvius by
boring tunnel In the base OF the
mountain and letting the lava escape
into the sea. His idea Is to bore the
tunnel while the crater is In a state
OF coma. and he believes that when
the volcano becomes active such a
channel would be sufficient TO carry
away the lava, says Popular Mechan-
les for August. His whole proposal,
however. Is not to lat the lave escape
altogether, but to run It into molds
and make It into blocks for use IN the
streets and quays OF Naples.

We have had something to say
from time to time with regard to the
American Society of Equity, and
have expressed the belief that no CO.
operation of growers would succeed
in fixing the price Of such staple
as wheat. We have suggested, how
ever, that there were practical ways
in which a union of the producing
interests would be beneficial and one
of them is suggested in the proposed
terminal elevators to be conducted
by the society and run in the in
terests of the producers. Such in
situations. properly financed and op-
Grated ought to do away with great
source of complaint regarding the
weighing, inspecting, dockage and
price of grain, and should result in
substantial advantage to the shipper
and producer. There have always
been grave charges made against
private terminal concerns. It has
been held that the producer is cheat
ed both in the dockage and grade,
and naturally, all purchasing inter-
ests being in private hands, he is in
a great degree helpless. If cooper
ative terminal elevators can be finan-
ced and managed so that the pro-
Queer gets the benefit, the expense
being limited to fixed charges and
salaries, the Society of Equity ought
to be of substantial benefit to the
producers. 1t seems to us there is
a much more promising field in these
practical works than in sitting about
waiting for theoretical combination
to raise the price of wheat through
a corner rather than through a Ie
Ultimate demand.
