NEW YORK, Oct. 5.--In the Nation al League New York emphasized her possibility of tieing Chicago for the pennant by winning the first of a series of three games with Boston.

"Who is Hisgen?" is the question
that has been asked about the Massa-
chusetts man who has been talked of
as the possible candidate Of the newly
organized Independence party for pres
ident of the United States. Briefly an
swered, Mr.. uisgen is the man who as
president Of the Four Brothers indie
pendent OIL company had the nerve to
defy the Standard Oil trust and who
won in this struggle and who later as
the nominee of the Independence league
for governor of Massachusetts polled
the largest vote ever given an indie
pendent candidate for that office.
Getting down to details, it may be
added that Thomas L. Hisgen was
born in Petersburg. Ind. Nov. &c. 1853,
and is Il son of William Hisgen, a
somewhat eccentric German who first
located in Albany. n. u. and then mi
grated to Indiana. where he carried on
a country store. Thomas was the fifth

question Of the open door in that coun.
try In the matter Of trade. There has
been talk to the effect that Japan and
Russia practically have seized Man
churia for trade purposes, ignoring the
rights of China and not permitting the
Chinese government to shape an open
door policy in accordance with its
agreements. Because Of the action
Of Japan and Russia, it is said, Ameri-

1t is believed that President Roose-

due to the Alanchurian situation and
his belief that peace in the orient
would he promoted by keeping a strong

~HE Peoples party has the honor
Of being first in the field with a
presidential candidate in the
campaign Of 1908, and the
head Of its ticket is Thomas e. Wat
son Of Georgia. The candidate for vice
president is Samuel w. Williams of
Indiana. Mr.. Watson was nominated
for vice president by the Peoples par
ty in 1896 and for the presidency in
1901. He is politician, journalist, au-
thor, lecturer and lawyer. He start
ed out as a poor boy and In spite of the
many obstacles in his path succeeded
In obtaining an education, in building
up a good law practice and in accumu-
lating al independence. He has also
made a success in literature and has
produced several historical works of
importance. He has served in the Geor-
gia legislature and been a member Of
congress, and 1t was Watson who in
trOduced the resolution censuring Con-
gresham Cobb Of Alabama for intoxi-

Ct Cd Results Follow Modified Form Of
Koch Toxin Cure.
The Koch "cure" for tuberculosis Las
been 50 modified recently by the med
ical profession that 1t is considered an
important factor in the treatment Of
the dread disease in conjunction with
the fresh air and dietary treatment.
The toxin is being used at the Phipp
dispensary, Johns Hopkins hospital.
and has been found a valuable ad-
junct to the treatment in resisting and
throwing off the tubercular germ.
While the toxin does not affect ad-
vanced cases Of tuberculosis to a large
degree, it has shown remarkable re-
suits in premature cases.
Many persons afflicted with the dis
ease visit the dispensary every day.
and the toxin Is injected into their sys-
TENS. The effect Is to stimulate the pa
tent. who, believing that he Is receiv-
ing much good from the serum, takes
more interest in life and is unusually
careful about his habits and sanitary
conditions. The use of the toxin is
valueless. 1t is said, unless the patient
takes fresh air treatment, lives In n.y.
gienic environments and looks care
fully after his diet and food.
The effect Of the toxin to the patient
Is similar to that Of the antitoxin
treatment for diphtheria. While the
scientists who are doing research work
in bringing about a cur for tuberculo-
sis through the use Of the modified tox-
In have not attained the end they hope
to reach, it is believed It will not be

AS TO MACHINE CONTROL.

There are two sides to every ques-
ton. Much has been printed on one
side of the Kentucky senatorial cleo
ton, the Philadelphia Ledger takes
this view:
The election of republican Uni
ted States senator in Kentucky has
no important partisan significance,
and in these days only a small party
value. The defeat of Beckham has a
deeper meaning than the elevation
of Bradley. Beckham was the heir of
Goebel, the continuation of ruth
less political oligarchy which raped
elections, trod down democratic
thought and sayagely forbade pro-
test. 1t was in league with disorder
ly elements, at outs with liberal in
teligence, selfish, cruel and unscru-
pulous.
IF the fall of Beckham is his
elimination, if Kentucky has disper-
sed a combine which merits the
name of gang, the state has redeem
ed its reputation and taken a place
among the friends of political ad
vancement. The fetch of democracy
and the fetch of republicanism no
longer mean enough to excite any
where regret over Beckham or jubi
lation over Bradley. 1t would be in
opportune ingenuity which would
look for partisan benefit or loss in
the partisan action of the Kentucky
legislature. If these must be a par
tisan gain, the most decent view is
that the democratic party is strong
er for the rebuke of terrorist cap
tain of swashbucklers
In personal qualities Bradley and
Beckham are not unequal. Both are
clever, good speakers and adroit at
handling men. The senate would be
as well off with one as with the 9th
err The whole of Kentuckys junior
senatorship is in the useful lesson
of the capacity of Americans to
crush a gang when it presumes too
far.

CRIMINALS AND THE LAW.

The action of the Harris county
district attorney who recently claim
ed that it was useless to try Grimm
ais in the courts of that county be-
turn them loose has occasioned a
lively discussion, and commenting
editorially on existing conditions the
Houston Post says;
1T is not necessary to mention the
scores and scores of instances where
justice has failed because of the in
difference of juries to crime or
through technicalities.
The cold-blooded murders that
have gone unpublished as well as
hundreds of crimes of lesser degree,
admonish US that something ought to
be done to vindicate the law and pro-
tect life and property in the com
munity We do not charge that all
the fault rests with the juries, for it
does not Much of the trouble is due
to laws that seem to have been enac-
ted for the express purpose of reliev-
ing criminals from the penalties of
the law.
THE district attorney declares it
to be his purpose to enforce the
law, and it is to be hoped that he
may succeed, but unless the juries
do their duty he can accomplish lit
tie. Many people are inclined to at
tribute much of the trouble to the
court of criminal appeals, but We
shall assume that the appellate
judges construe the law as they find
it and that most of the criticism di
rected against them properly rests
against the legislature.
Despite any of the alleged short
comings of the court of appeals, and
despite the loopholes in the law,
much Improvement is possible if the
juries go into the box with a single
purpose to mete out justice and vim
dictate the laws. We can never ap-
proach that stage of civilization to
which we aspire SO long as criminals
are turned loose upon the communi
ty. Without the swift, certain pun
ishment of crime, life can never be
safe in a community and thieves will
ply their vocation so long as the jul
ries for any reason whatsoever re-
frain from inflicting the penalties of
the law
