He landed on the brick pavement, a distance of 50 feet below and was picked up ill an unconscious condition, but was later revived, but refused to make any statement concerning himself or his people, or giving any reason why he had taken this method of ending his life.
 The body was taken to a local un- dertaker, where it will be held, while the police department endeavors to locate some of his relatives.
 Chief of Police Moore has wired the police at Tampa and enlisted their aid in locating the relatives of Waters.
 Investigation developed that before taking his leap to death Waters had locked the door of his room and de- stroyed a quantity of papers, so that nothing was left by which he might be identified, with the exception of his name on the hotel register.

ThimbIe-Rigging in Three States

In Ohio, the Democrats carried the
State, and the Republicans are planning
20 create vacancies in the State offices,
fill them before the expiration of their
governors term, and thus cheat he
voters who elected the new governor.
In Indiana, the Democrats carried the
State, and the Republicans are planning
10 change the rules of the Legislature
while they are yet in power, fill the
offices, and thus cheat the voters who
elected the new Legislature and the
new governor.
In Oregon, Democratic candidate for
the United States Senate carried the
State, and the Republicans are propos-
ing every fool kind of "welching" to
persuade Republican legislators - ex-
plicitly directed by their constituents
to vote for the Democrat - to cheat
the people who elected the new Senator.
All this might have gone twenty
years ago, or ten. But it will not 20
now. If the Republican leaders have

Sealed Proposals for Eternal Life.

The aspiration Of mankind fc- long
life, which seems to have prevailed ever
since history began, has its logical ex-
FOUNDER now in a philosopher who of
fers methods whereby man should live
forever. The prospect he raises is al
Turing and his explanation. though not
given, must surely be logical.
There does not appear at first sight
any especial reason why generation
after generation of mankind should be
born, grow, wither and die, to be shed
like the leaves of the oak. But so it is
with man as with all living things.
Simply because it is so, however, may
not necessarily be a good reason why
st must always continue so. Assuming
also that generation by generation men
improve, could not the same generation
remain on earth continuously and i'm
prove equally. We must assume. of
course, that the vigor of life continue
undated. the functions remain unim-
paired, and the full supply of .ltality
be undiminished.
If man may really overcome the habit
of death-the decay, the accident, the
swapping of the vital cord, the law, the
rule, or whatever it may be, and en-
able himself to stride about the sur.
face of this planetary habitation in
definitely, what are to be considered
the probable conditions Of his stay
First, of course. he will then be the sole
generation-the embodiment of all the
generations-an must cease marrying
or giving in marriage The birth Of one
generation means, of course, either con
stantly rivalry with or the death of
its predecessor. If the predecessor is
never to die, the successor ought not to
be born. And so might end childhood
and old age, and with them would go
parental care and filial affection, for
there would be neither parents nor
children.
Sure of an endless tenure. what
would become Of the tenant? Would
he have motive for struggle and as
piration! Would he suffer as willingly
and struggle as earnestly, without &
child to provide for and receive the
legacy of his efforts? Would he be as
sincere, as self-sacrifcing! Would life
be as beautiful, as sublime?
Hardly! Life IL beauteous in pro
portion as it prepares itself for death
