MOB RAIDS GLASGOW,
HUNDREDS INJURED
With Clubs and RevolverS
Police Finally Dis
perse Rioters.

GLASGOW, Sept 10. - gulioyving a
night OF riotlng between a mob of 1000
OF Glasgow's unemployed Ind an aug
mented force OF mounted aud foot po-
hcemen, the city today clearly shows
the effect Of one o. the Rildest ex-
periencos in it's history.
The streets are uttered. scores OF
houses are damaged. wiz LdoWs smashed.
and hundreds Of terror stricken citizens
are guarding their properly with arms,
fearing a reoccurence Of IKE outbreak.
Beginning at midnight, Woeu the mob
Of unemployed, under the leadership of
SOcialistic agitators. attempted to make
a raid on the aristocratic residential dis
trict OF the city, and continuing until
dawn. the police were an a constant
clash with the mob, which broke up in
to scores Of small detachments at the
first attack BY the mounted police
These detachments were pursued all
over ths city, the police remorselessly y
clubbing the rioters wherever an out
rage was attempted.
Hundreds Hurt.
The city is still in a chaotic condition,
and it is not known how many were in
5ured in the prolonged melee. The mob
carried away hundreds Of men who were
injured by the police, and several deaths
will undoubtedly result from the fierce
tactics the police were forced 10 adopt
Many of the mob were dubbed and
shots were frequently fired
The entire city was awakened by the
commotion. and citizens everywhere
armed themselves, fearing attacks from
the mob.
At dawn the rioters dispersed and
comparative quiet was resumed.
Patrolling City.
The entire police force Of the city, with
hundreds Of reserves, is patroIling the
streets. The situation Is the most Sc
riOus that mas confronted the city in
years. Thousands Of people are out Of
employment. the estimates running ali
the way from 5000 to IS00GG Social
istic agitAtors have seized the occasion
to stir up a dangerous strife, and the
officials are alarmed at tho prospect Of
future demonstrations.

ALL OHIO LAUGHING
At GEORGE B. cox
Cincinnati Boss" Changes
Front and Takes Up
Taft's Fight.
By JAMES HAY. R

CINCINNATI. Ohio, Sept. lO.-Ceorge
B. Cox, Republican boss Of Cincinps+i
and the county of Hamilton, sits in his
office in the Cincinnati Trust Building
today and hears an Ohio laughing ar
the satirical drama Of politics In which
he is presenting himself and a select
group Of players.
Denounced by Taft three years ago
as the head of a ring" whose candi-
dates did not deserve support from the
voters, Cox has had himself and his
two right-hand men appointed a com
mittee of three to conduct Taft's cam
paign in this city and county. When
Judge Taft was told Of this action, he
old not look pleased and said he did
not suppose the committee would have
much TO do as It had probably been
speeches, which had been planned but
now abandoned.
Forgets the Past.
But Cox would not accept this rebuff
He said this morning that he and his
two lieutenants were on the ground TO
cooperate with Judge Taft ia the con-
duct of the whole campaign in this
city and county. II was at Akron.
Ohio. in 1905. that Taft denounced Cox
and mis- crew in Hamilton county in
such emphatic and foTcible terms as to
leave them no room to doubt of his
disapproval and dislike OF them. Ever
since then, Cox has posed as the sworn
foe of Taft. New he comes forward 10
embaTrass the Presidential candidate
with the profIer OF aid. which he knows
Taft Goes not want.
Some of the Independent Republicans
here go so far as to say that Cox has
taken this action with a view to htrt-
ing Taft, as the candidates grear
strength throughout Ohio is built on
his opposition to the ring rlie" of
this county, and. II he mads a COM
pact with the ring the independents
might turn from hina. Others say Cox
is sctuatec by a desire fo- revenge
and wants Taft to make peace with
him personally.
Taft Rot Enthusiastic.
Taft has not welcomed the satiricaI
play with any enthusiasm. From one
Of his close personal friends comes the
Information that he viii make no I'D
yances to Cox. and that he will rake no

A CRANKY NOTION. {.

Thomas A Edison is genius and q great inventor. but it would not be safe to be guided by some of his ec- centric ideas For example. he Is quoted as saying recently: "There Is absolutely no reason why we should sleep except that our prehistoric an- cestors got into the habit of sleeping and we have never broken ourselves of it."
 This is the opinion of a genius, and we might add that it is also the idea of a crank. He Is said to sleep on an average of only four or i've hours out of the twenty-four. but he evidently must have that or he would go to pieces. He has trained himself to get along with about half the sleep that men usually require, and we suppose if one were to ask him why he sleeps little every night he would charge 1t all to his prehistoric ancestors. And we suppose If he were asked why all animal nature. from insect to elephant, also sleeps part of the time. he would attribute that also to those same an- cestors. Ancestors. by the way, are convenient subjects to lay blame on. Why does he not go back and give us some idea of when this sleep habit be- gan to develop itself on the part of our ancestral exemplars!
 The truth seems to be that in this matter Mir. Edison, like almost every other man of undoubted genius. has a crank in his head. There is nothing to show that our prehistoric ancestors if we ever possessed such--ever lived without sleep. or to show when they got into the habit of 1t. So far as he or any one else can produce testi- mony to the contrary. all living crea- lures have been compelled to sleep a portion of the time. and the habit was not acquired but was one of the orig inal laws of nature which has never been violated with impunity, and can not be.
 Mr. Edison does not need to tell us that most strong and healthy people could safely accustom themselves 10 do with less sleep than they usually in- dulge in, nor do we need to tell him of the disastrous effects which fnvar- iably follow when for any reason a human being is entirely barred from sleep for even two or three times the period they usually remain awake. He knows ali this. and it is idle to tell us that sleep Is merely an acquired or Ar- tinciaI habit. The world knows bet- ter, however much respect we all may have for his inventive genius.

BABY GIRL CRIED
 AND SCRATCHED
All the Time -Torturing Eczema Covered Her Body Could Not Sleep Doctor Said Sores Would
 Last for Years Skin Now Clear.
CURED IN THREE MONTHS
 BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

"I take great pleasure in telling you what great help 1t was for me to use Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for my baby niece. She was suffering from that terrible torture, eczema. It was all over her body but the worst was on her face and hands. Her hands were 60 bad that she could not hold anything. She cried and scratched all the time and could not sleep night or day from the scratching. I had her under the doc tors care for @ year and half and he seemed to do hes no good. I took her to the best doctor in the city and he said that she would have the sores until she was six years old. But if had de- pended on the doctor my baby would have lost her mind and died from the want of aid.
 II used all the remedies that every body told me about and I tortured the child almost to death. Then I saw in the paper how Cuticura was the thing for irritating skin. bathed her with warm water and Cuticura Soap and used the Cuticura Ointment. She was cured in three months. Now her skin is as clear and smooth as it could be. shan recommend the use of Cuticura wherever I sec the skin in bad condition. Alice l..

SATURDAY. FEBRUARY IS. 1908.

We do not know that it would be en regle or anything of the kind. but If the young King of Portugal wants to get some easy money just let him an- nounce that he is open to a leap-year proposal from some American girl with several million good American dollars to settle on him. The number of pro- posaIs he would receive might be more or less embarrassing but he might ind some way of settling that problem to the satisfaction of all concerned. As we said, we do not know that the young man is in need of money, nor do we know if he would be allowed to select a wife not born in the purple, as they say, and merely make these sug- gestions to him in case he is allowed to choose his own wife and wants a rich one.

THE CHARGE HURTS.

We are passing Into regime of ir- responsible plutocracy." declares secre- tary Taft with more truth than policy. He is correct. but we are surprised that he should have made the assertion in public, for he knows that his own par ty is responsible for the condition ne affects to condemn. That party has been the nurse and the protector of ali that makes plutocracy rampant and almost dominating. 50 long as Taft stands for privilege in any form" says The Houston Post, The can not escape his share of responsibility for the "ir- responsible plutocracy." His overlord, who might have done something great for the relief of the public by making an issue with the standpatters of his party, has failed to do anything but denounce and what does denunciasion amount to? The people as we'll as the irresponsible plutoerats taught at it."
 And that remark of Taft's, by the way, is causing some worry among the truly loyal brethren of his party, who are not satisfied as to the object of the big mans aim. The Kansas City Jour nal, as an example. doesn't at all like such general charge and wants spec ifcations. It wants to know just when this alleged regime of irresponsible pIutocracy" began. declaring that it was not under Cleveland or Mckinley, and goes on in this way:
 It would be a great comfort to the inquiring minds of those who love their country and who ardently desire to be warned of every danger that con- fronts the American people, if Sec retary Taft. or President Roosevelt. whose spokesman he Is. would lift the veil of mystery and doubt and inform their countrymen as to how and when the regime of irresponsible plutoc- racy" has manifested itself in the ad- ministration Of the affairs of the Ma tion. It would also clear the atmos- phere considerably, and aid materially In a practical way, if President Roose- welt would tell the country who the spiring to discredit his policies in or, der to cover up their own tracks and enable themselves to enjoy unmolested inc fruits of their crimes" The only practical way is to catch and punish these indicators, and this can not be done until the President presents his evidence to a grand jury. And as long as only indiscriminate threats and objurgations are indulged in the peo- ple will necessarily remain in state of doubt and distrust, with free rein to their passions and prejudices against rich men and great corporations in general. The present course may serve excellently to inspire and arouse class hatreds, but 1t can not possibly accom- plish any practical good purpose.
 Plainly The Journal looks on this general accusation as really charge against the present administration and isn't pleased at 1t. Had it not come from the upholder and mouth piece of the President we should have regard ed Taft's expression as a plain and di- rect indictment of the administration, of his head official and chief booster, and We are pretty sure that a disinter- ested public will regard it in that light, notwithstanding Its source

In Florida the Federal officeholders have selected a Taft delegation to Chicago and the other Republicans have chosen an anti-Taft delegatation, and this causes The New Bedford Standard to remark:
 Something like this is apparently 90 ing to happen in most of the South err States, which are not going to give the Republican electoral ticket any votes but which are going to loom large a. trouble makers in the National Con vention. The hunt for delegates ir that section Is one of the least in spiring things in the present situation of the Republican Party, unless 1t be the inspiration of disgust.
