Third of Blind Children Victims OF
Careless Physician, Says Expert.
Springfield, Ill, Aug. 1.-One-third
of the blind children of this country
are victims of careless physicians.
This isl the startling charge that
Superintendent George w. Jones of
the Illinois school for the blind makes
in an article in the forthcoming issue
of the bulletin of the state board of
charities. Superintendent Jones says:
inflammation of the eyes of the
newborn is an acute affection of the
eyes occurring from one to three days
after birth. A 2 per cent solution OF
silver nitrate is an absolute specific for
this disease and a 1 per cent solution
can be administered without danger by
the most unframed person"

HEARST REAps IN BRYAN FIELD
slnde pendence Ticket to Cut Into Com
r,oner's Preserves.

ndependence Ticket to Cut Into Com.
ntoner's Preserves.
Washington, Aug. 1.-The Independ-
cnce league has put a presidential
ticket into the field, and some of the
plans Of Mr. Bryan and his friends are
thus knocked in the head. Up to the
time of the Denver convention hopes
were still entertained at Fairview that
Mr.. Hearst might see the error of his
yvays and again come over to the sup
mort of the democratic ticket, as he did
In 1896 and in 1900. These hopes were
nairrored in editorials in the Commoner
Immediately preceding the Denver con-
yention-editorials expressing the hope
that Mr.. Hearst would be good, and
pointing out to him how much he had
tD gain by riding in the democratic
wagon.
But Hearst was not to be cajoled.
Last Feb. % the independence league
held q meeting in Chicago, and decided
that it would put national ticket In
the field this year. The convention re-
Gently held was in furtherance of that
decision, and Mr. Bryan's mistake was
made when he assumed that anytnlng
he might say would change 1t.
There will be much speculation from
this time forward to election day con-
cerning the voting strength OF the
Hearst organization, and whether 1t
will hurt the democratic party enough
to affect the result. Either Taft or
Bryan will undoubtedly draw more
heavily from the latter than from the
former, and these drafts will be made,
for the most part, in the large centers
of population, particularly within the
sphere of the Hearst newspapers. But
will they give to Taft states which
otherwise might be Bryan's? That is
the question which will engage the at
tention of the politicians for the next
ninety days.
Holds Balance of Power?
In 1904 Mr.. Roosevelt received 81
per cent of the total vote of the coun-
try, and Judge Parker 38 per cent of 1t.
The remaining 5 per cent was divided
between the candidates of the social
list, populist, prohibitionist and social
ist-labor tickets This year, in addi-
tion to all Of these, there will be tha
Hearst party to be reckoned with Both
the old parties, more particularly the
democratic, will thus be compelled to
arrange to meet opposition from a new
source. In 1905 the Hearst party came
within 5000 votes of electing a mayor
Of Greater New York. 1t forced the
democrats to accept Hearst as their
candidate for governo Or in 1906, and as
such candidate he polled 100000 votes.
In 1907 the Hearst party polled $4,000
votes for its candidates for the court
of appeals in New York state, in the
face of dem ocratic- republican fusion;
In the same year the Hearst party put
the democratic party in third place in
assachusetts, and it cast $4,000 votes
In California. besides which it devel-
oped unexpected strength in many cit

Des Moines lawyers are somewhat
wrought over report that has gained
currency here to the effect that the
state board of paroles and pardons mas
advised prisoners seeking liberty from
the state penitentiaries not to retan
attorneys. Or at least, that prisoners
have been discouraged in the practlce
that has always prevailed Of securing
LAWYERS to assist them i'm presenting
their claims to the board.
1t appears that local attorney who
is one of the best known lawyers IN the
state. received letter from a prisoner
whom he had been seeking to have pa
rolled. The prisoner wrote that the
board had advised that he dismiss the
attorney and try it on his own respon-
sibility. The tone of his letter 1rldl-
Gated that other seekers of paroles aad
been given similar advice. Yesterday
afternoon, the attorney called up Par
don Secretary Garrett, who prac:1c-
ally confirmed the prisoners statement.
Many times attorneys in these cases
serve without compensation and from
a sense of seing prisoner treated
fairly. Or because they defended him
when he was sent up and feel it a duty
to stick by him. Lawyers were
discussing the alleged action Of
the board all over the city last night.
The recent decision of Attorney
General Byers in the case of the Sioux
City Oil Company may considerably
affect the Standard, the Republic and
other oil companies in Iowa.
This case involved the inspection OF
oil which was stopped in Sioux City
and then reconsigned to points in
Nebraska, sometimes in car load lots,
and other times by the barrel. The
oil company held that the Oil could
not be inspected by the Iowa inspector
as it was intended only for Nebraska
use. and was therefore interstate bust
ness: but General Byers claimed 1t
had stopped in Iowa and was there
fore under the Iowa law and must be
inspected.
The Nebraska law grants greater
leniency with oil than Iowa and the
oil companies take advantage of this
and send their poorer grades to the
western state. This ruling of Byers
will either compel them to desist that
practice or else consign the oil straight
thru to final destination without stop
