REAsoNs ZOE PUNIsHMENT.

First, the guilty is punished TO miti-
gate, to alleviate, to assuage the feel
ings Of the victim of his act, the ag-
grieved. Secondly, TO produce whole
some fear and dread in the mind of
those who would likewise do wrong.
And thirdly. the guilty is punished for
his own good, for correction. Any pun
ishment inflicted, not embracing these
three principles, Is without foundation
in reason. IL the first be omitted, then
the law Furnishes without respect 20 the
aggrieved. If the second be omitted,
the evil-dOer Is invited 70 do wrong, and
II the last principle be not comprehend
ed, the law presumes 10 be forever an
cry and unappeased. The first purpose
Is for the benefit Of the injured; the
second for the protection Of others, and
the third for the good of the guilty. A
punishment, therefore, which does not
include hope 70 the guilty is not based
on reason. When these requirements
have been complied with the Pardoning
BOsrd are righteous to extend 10 the
punished criminal the full measure Of
mercy.
For "the quality of mercy Is not
strained, 1t droppeth as the gentle rain
from heaven upon the place beneath; Il
Is twice blessed; Il blesseth him that
gives, and him that takes. It's might
lest in the mighty; It becomes the
throned monarch better than bis crown;
his seepter shows the force OF temporal
power, the attribute 10 awe and males
ty wherein doth sit the dead and fear
Of kings; but mercy Il above this scep-
tered sway; tits enthroned In the hearts
Of kings, It is an attribute 70 God him
self, and earthly power doth then show
iikest Gods when mercy seasons JUS
tice." jos KING, JR.

Concerning the weeks business the
Iron Trade Review said: With the
exception of some activity in the cas-,
including the Buffalo district, the pig
iron market has been very quiet, and
in the Pittsburg district there is a
tendency toward weakness. In the
south several leading interests have
advanced their quotations to s13, Birm-
ingham, and are practically out of the
market, in which $3.50 car still be
done.
steel making iron is in light demand
in the Pittsburg district and quota
tions are somewhat lower The pro-
duction of coke in the Connellsville
region has increased until the leading
interest is operating 60 per cent of its
oven capacity.
THE present low cost of building
cars and lake vessels has been an i'm
portant factor in encouraging the
placing of orders for two large lake
vessels, requiring about 10000 tons OF
steel. and 1900 freight cars calling
for about $4,000 tons of steel"

STRANGER KILLED
BY WABASH TRAIN
Wabash Flyer Runs For
eigner Down Near Gary
Last Night.
TOP OF HEAD IS GUT OFF
Body Is Brought to Hammond and
Removed to Stewards
Morgue.

An unidentified foreigner, about 30
years of age, was killed east of Gary
by the Wabash passenger train which
leaves Gary at S:27 p. m. and arrives
in Hammond at 1852. He was picked
mp and brought to Hammond where I'm
dertaker Stewart took charge of the
body and is holding 1t until Deputy
Coroner ShanlkIin can secure the testi-
mony of the train crew.
The accident happened about a mile
and quarter east of Gary and as near
ly as can be determined the foreigner
was walking down the track in the di-
rection of Gary when the passenger
train ran him down and killed him
instantly.
The entire top of the mans head
above the eyebrows was cut off and
his brains were spread over the track
for a hundred yards. One hand was
mangled, the legs were ground into
pulp, the arms were broken in several
places and the victim of theaccident
must have been killed instantly.
May Be Suicide.
There are two theories regarding his
death One is that he was intoxicated
know enough to get off the track and
the other that he deliberately faced the
engine with suicidal intent.
The victim of the accident was a
comparatively young man who was ap-
parently a foreign laborer. He was
dressed in workingmen's cloths and did
not have anything on his person to
identify him.
The reason why it is thought that
the foreigner was either drunk or a
suicide is the fact that the headlight
| of the engine which killed him could
be seen for mile down the track.
| An effort of the Gary working men
may know who is the unfortunate.

NEW VALVE BY ". f. JONES
Is Designed to Prevent Loss of Thous.

Especial to THE TrMEs.)

East Chicago, Ill, Aug. 29.-Follow- |
ing the report of the finding by Chem !
list Joseph NJ. Ness, of the German Am
erican Tank Line, of a new method of
cleaning tank cars, as told in THE TIMES
of Thursday evening, comes the report
that the city of East Chicago will ex-
pertinent with Mr.. Ness solution. The
city has several tank cars used for
sprinkling the much disputed Westru-
mite. The inside of these are in
filthy condition and Mayor DeBraie
upon seeing the article in THE TIMES,
communicated with Mr.. Ness. The So
luton. which will be exploited through
out the country by company to be or
ganized by Mr.. Ness, will not injure
the wooden tanks and in fact will as
sist in their preservation.
Working on Patent.
The German-American Tank line is
one of the many progressive companies
operating in East Chicago. Their local
superintendent, William E. Jones, has
been engaged in making experiments
in various methods of car building for
the past two years. He is now on the
verge of success and in a few weeks
will obtain a patent on a new valve
for tank cars. This valve will be so
CONSTRUCTED that it will screw into the
seat instead of being raisable. This
will prevent the loss, in many instances,
of thousands of gallons of expensive
oils, and Mr.. Jones believes that his
patent will be used by many car build
lers throughout the country.
Designed New Frame.
Mr.. Jones has also designed a new
frame for tank cars, details of which
will be interesting to local mechanics
THE new car is fitted with four springs
Ia inches in diameter, so placed that
they will absorb a shock to the car OF
, l1,150, 900 pounds. This will assist
greatly in the prevention of railroad
accidents to freight shipments.

for mere love of conquest and lust for
empire of the weak subjected to the
strong.
This conception was true of past en-
pires, but are we justified III thinking it
is true to any extent of the empires Of
today" Clearly not. The march of civ
ilization has so changed this institution
that scarcely more than tho name re-
mains unchanged. Motives for and meth
DDS of empire building are entirely chang
ed. Injustice and oppression no longer
characterize colonial policies.
The second mi:;conccption comes from
the common idea of the relation of inn
periaiism to tho United States. II is "on-
orally thought that the Sranish-Ameri-
of empires. but in reality We began en-
pire building nearly q century before. In
the purchase of Louisiana and tic accui-
sitions of Texas and Hawaii we took
definite steps in this direction. Another
misconce option is found in the fear that
further development of our impcrialistic
tendency will endanecr our democratic
institutions. There IS no evidence in his
tory Of modern empires to warrant such
an assumption. Rather will an empire of
18th century ideals ensure our future
and unite our states more frNly together.

Make Your Milk Dishes
With Whole Milk.

You don't get the whole milk when
you buy from the milkman. The reason
is this:
Milk that stands awhile separates.
The butter fat rises and the solids fall.
So you get all the butter fat only when
served from the top of the can.
Thus you are surprised, when you first
cook with Van Camps, at the delicious
flavor it gives to a milk dish You won
der what we have added--what we have
done-to make the milk seem so good.
We have added nothing at all. Van
Camps is simply the whole, rich milk,
Just as it comes from the COW. You get
all of the butter fat, all of the solids.
You never get them all in raw milk.
That flavor belongs to your cooking.
You will get it every time in milk dishes
made with Van Camps.

how to make all sorts of milk dishes,
