SENATOR LINDSAY
Addresses the Virginia Bar ASSO-
citation on MAN and COrpO-
ration"

At the Virginia Bar Association
in session at Hot Springs, Va,
the address of former Senator
William Lindsay, of Kentucky, on
THE Man and Corporation"
evoked considerable enthusiasm.
Mr.. Lindsay pointed out that it
was the duty of the States to REM
edy what he regarded as the pres
ent day evil of corporation su-
premacy over the individual. The
States, he maintained, created the
corporation, and it was their duty
to control their creatures. This
course, he said, would relieve the
Federal Government from inter-
ference, which interference he re-
garded as not only of doubtful con-
stitutionality, but doubtful expe-
diency.

Tariff Revision.

Information comes from the
financial and industrial centres to
the effect that the most important
manufacturing enterprises have
long forseen an inevitable revision
of the tariff and that they have
long been getting ready for such
a readjustment as this will involve.
The United States Steel Company
is perhaps the largest single bene-
ficiary of the protective tariff.
II is contended that the United
States Steel corporation can pro-
duce steel at $13 ton and that a
price of $14 would give it a mod
crate profit. The price it actually
asks is $2S, or profit of SIS a
ton. Other prices for steel and
iron products are in proportion. -

Says Taft Cannot Win.

Ten shadows on Taft's path
way to the White House," is the
official title Rev. Il. NJ. Hissey, of
Cleveland, Ohio, at one time Mark
Hanna's confidential lieutenant,
gives to his list of reasons why
w. H. Taft cannot be elected.
Hissey is studying the political
situation. He has travelled over
the country and State and is pre-
dieting defeat.
REASONS FOR HIS BELIEF.
His reasons for his belief in a
Democratic victory are:
ILLUMINATION of Foraker as a
Senator will hurt the party.
latitude of the negro vote
and Taft's connection with the
Brownsville affair was unfortunate.
3-Attitude of the labor vote.
Laboring men, whether right or
wrong, regard Taft as the father
of the injunction.
Attitude of the foreign-born
population. They reason that, if
Roosevelt can select his successor,
Taft can select his also, and will
establish a political succession
the same as the hereditary mon
archial succession in foreign couL-
tries.
latitude of the G. A. r..
Vote. The veterans are incensed
at Taft's remarks on Memorial
Day over Grants monument.
latitude of the Jewish vote.
which is incensed at Taft's visit to
the Russian Gar.
Attitude of the Protestant
churches, which are opposed to
Taft because of his friendliness to
Catholics in the Philippines.
S-Attitude of the Antisaloon
League, which opposes Taft be-
cause he was Endorsed by the
National Brewers and Distillers.
9-Taft's avOwed intention to
revise the tariff. This frightens
the old ''stand-patters," who are
chiefly manufacturers and contrib
ute to campaign funds heavily.
1O-The bottom has fallen out
of the full dinner pail, under IA
Republican administration.

Lover Kills Rival and Himself,

When James Kelley, a 19-year-
old boy, met his sweetheart, Miss
Eva Sleeter, and Link James,
driving near Metropolis, ILL.,, on
Sunday night, crazed with jeal-
ousy, Kelley pulled a gun and
killed James, and shot the girl in
the abdomen and blew out his
own brains.
Young Kelley was driving with
Miss Lena Oliver, when they
heard a buggy come up behind
them. Kelley knew who those
behind were, for he quickly turned
his horse. Leaping to the ground
he began firing. James was killed
at the first shot. Miss Sleeter was
shot in the abdomen.
Standing in the road, Kelley
turned the gun on himself and al
most blew off the top of his head.

Governor Wilson on August 4
pardoned Carey Holly, who was
sent to the penitentiary in 1896 to
serve Is years for murder in
Breathitt county. The Governors
grounds for the pardon are that
new evidence was discovered after
his trial that under the conditions
which were existing in Breathitt
county at the time of his cOnvic-
ton, it was practically impossible
to have a fair trial.

AVOID BEER
AND WHISKY; DRINK WAFER.
Rule Given to Prevent Heat
PrOStrdtiOn.

By VIM. A. Evans. NJ. D., Health Commission'r
The prevention of sunstrolke is
something that everyone ought to
consider during these hot, sultry
summer days. The observance of
a few simple rules would prevent
a large number of the heat pros
trations.
The most important single piece
of advice that | can give to those
who would avoid heat prostration
is to leave beer and whisky alone.
A large percentage of prostrations
occur among drinking men. A
common instance is that of the
man who tries to work after hav-
ing been on spree the night be-
fore. He is apt to get sunstroke.
But man does not have to get
drunk to make himself liable to
prostration. The man who takes
an occasional single glass of beer
is not therefore in danger, but any
one who INDUCES more than this
is taking risk. Especially is it
bad to stop work frequently to
drink liquor of any kind. Plain
water drunk in large quantities is
an excellent preventive of sun
stroke.
Next to drinking the most i'm
portant thing is eating. A large
part of our food is devoted to the
heating of the body. 1t would
seem clearly evident that we need
less of such heating food in the
summer than in the winter.
When the temperature is over
100 degrees in the sun or 80 de-
grees in the shade, we need no
heating food. For this reason
meat should not be eaten more
than twice or three times a week.
A diet of vegetables, fruits and
buttermilk should replace it. To
all intents and purposes we are
living in the tropics in such
weather as we have been having
lately, and this being the case we
should make our diet conform
with that of jewellers in the equa-
tOrial regions.
Another important matter is the
keeping of the bowels open. This
is much more important in sum-
mer than in winter. We should
also keep our skins so clean that
every pore will be open and free
to perspire. We should drink
plenty of water and then give it an
opportunity to work out through
our skins.
We wear clothes to keep the
Leaf of our body in. That is OF e
of the principle reasons for the
phenomena of clothing. But in
summer this reason has no force,
and we should therefore wear
clothes light enough to let the heat
of our bodies out.
lastly, don't worry! Don't
look at the thermometer! If it is
hot you can safely assume that the
other fellow knows it. And it is
certain that to tell him of it will
make both of you several degrees
hotter.
These rules are for those that
are well. The man who is below
par needs other precautions.
People with affections of the heart
or kidneys or other diseases that
lower the vitality should be eau
tiOus about putting a strain on the
weakened part. Ia most of the
cases of ordinary heat prostration
the heat is nothing more than the
straw that broke the camel's back.

TORN BY A DOG.
FrightfuI Accident to Child Near
Calhoun Bluffs.
Two Year Old Daughter of Ed
ward Murphy the Victim.
ONE EYE Is PUT OUT.
Face and Arm Are Also HOrri-
bly, Mangled.
Father Kills the Brute With an
Axe.

The 2year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Edward Murphy who live on
farm near Calhoun Bluffs was attacked
by the family dog this morning about
Z o'clock and SO severely bitten that
her recovery is considered doubtful. The
mother was busy with the breakfast
dishes and the little child was playing
in the yard near the door when the
mothers attention was attracted by her
screams.
The dog which had been the playmate
of the little child had gone suddenly
mad and attacked the little girl and
before she was rescued was so fright
fully injured that her recovery is con-
sidered doubtful even though rabies do
not result. The mother rushed to the
rescue of her little daughter and she
too suffered from the attacks of the
savage animal, nearly all of her cloth
ing being torn from her body.
Mrs. Murphy was powerlesS to save
the little girl as the dog returned to his
attacks and it would undoubtedly have
killed the child had not the father who
was at the barn heard the disturbance
and come to the rescue. He seized an
AK and finally killed the dog as he re-
turned to again attack the child and
its mother.
During the few moments that the
er came to the rescue it bit her in doz-
ems of places. Her right arm is fright
fully mangled and almost the entire
left side of her face torn and the left
eye entirely torn from it's socket. DR..
Keith was called and went to the scene
Immediately and dressed the wounds OF
the little girl and she will be brought
| to the Keith hospital tomorrow morn
| ing for treatment.
This is the worst case that 1 have
ever seen during my experience as a
practitioner" said DR.. Keith. 1.-THE
| child's face, right arm and head are
| literally chewed to pieces and 1t was
necessary to take % stitches in re-
pairing the damages this morning and
much more work Is necessary if the
life of the patient can be saved. The
head of the little victim is one mass of
bites and it is hard to tell what the
result will be.
| "I cannot say that the dog was mad
but everything indicates that it was.
The dog and child were the best OF
| friends and had played together ever
since the victim was a baby and had
never shown any signs of viciousness,
| The fact that 1t returned to the attack
| even after the father and mother were
| fighting it away indicates that it must
have had a mad fit of some kind.
1 "Mr. and Mrs. Murphy as well as
the neighbors who knew the habits OF
the dog fear that IT went suddenly
mad and may send the child to a Pas
teur institute for treatment. I have
| seen a great many horrible and pitt
full sights during my practice, bu,
none worse than this and If the child
lrecovers it will be frightfully scared
for life as the result of the encoun.

STRIKE IS STILL ON.
j. ID. Buckalew Says Machinists Have
Not Given Up.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
1 notice in your issue of June 80
statement that the machinists' strike
on the Santa Fe of four years dura-
ton had been called off and the ma
chinists were going back as nonunion
men. In other words, the long fight
the men have had was all for naught.
AS the article had my name in as the
party who called the strike and as I
lust came to the city on a visit, this
being Tny home now. the men who are
on strike rather think 1 had something
to do with the statement published in
YOUR paper, therefore / desire to say
that 1 know nothing of the facts given
yol In regard to the trouble of the
boilermakers, but want to say the ma
chinists have not call off the strike.
and from what I know they are not
going to, at least that is not the policy
of the association. 1 am not at the
present time handling the strike on
the santa Fe, but being a grand lodge
officer. 1 am always consulted on
these matters, and would know if any
such action had been taken.
From my point of view I think it a
had policy to call off a strike OF this
magnitude at this time. We have the
men schooled to handle the matter in
a conservative way which Is very
important matter in these large rail-
without a settlement with the COM
pany would mean at some future time
the same thing would have to be done
over again with the task of reorganiz-
ing our picket forces and necessary
finances that takes to carry on the
large strikes. We have all this now
and are in a position financially to
carry on the strike indefinitely. which
will be done for the purpose OF keep
ing union men away and getting all
the nonunion men out of the shops
possible until the management of the
road desires to treat with organized
labor: that will in my opinion be the
only way the strike will ever be
settled j. D. BUCKALEw,

LAST OF THE 1907 CONTRACTS.
Paving Business for Preceding Year
Is Wound Up.

The last of the paving contracts let
by the city in 1907 have been COM
pleted this week. This represents the
paving of Jefferson street from Third
to Fourth streets, Seventh street from
Tyler to Topeka avenue; alley bound
ed by Topeka avenue, Harrison,
Eighth and Ninth streets
The final estimates, payments. Will
be allowed by the city council on Mon
day for this week. Never before has
the paving dragged so as this year
for it is usual that the last of the paw
ing of one year is completed before
April of the year following at least.
Delay in granting the contracts by the
council and bad weather were condi-
tions which all Contributed towards
delay.
