support in the earlier stage of 8 campaign, why is he not worthy clear through to the finish? If you are not man of fidelity to the cause and the man which you first espoused then are you g political trimmer, pure and sim pie? If you are bandwagon chaser you are a joke as citizen of your state, because you would sooner add your vote in a place where it is not needed in order to be on the winning side than you would to submit to defeat in the ranks of the man who in the beginning you believed would best serve your state and who stood for a principle in which you believed. The shifting of your vote at the last moment to prevent the nomination of an un- worthy or corrupt or rincompetent man is altogether different proposition, however, from mere- ly letting go all holds and taking a header into the bandwagon. Principles that have to be bitter ly contended for to finally win them, are never won by this class of citizens. A vote cast for a good principle is never thrown away.-Ft. Smith Southwest American.

MANY RELATING CASES ARE TO
BE PROSECUTED; HARRi-
MAN is EXEMPT.
WRECKED BY TORNADO.
Pittsburg Suffers From Fiood-Vsr'-
Gus Matters Of More or Less Mo-
ment Briefly Told.

The interstate commerce commits
sion has made public its report on the
investigation of the charges against
western railroad companies for dis
elimination in rates and has recon-
mended that the offenders be prose-
cuted. But T. II. Hartman is exempt.
One of the members of the commits
sion said that it was the opinion or
the commission that Mr.. Hartman
was directly responsible for the re-
bates and other violations OF the laws,
but that minor officers Of the COM
panies who, it is alleged have been vio-
lating the laws. will be the target OF
the district attorneys in the efforts
to criminally prosecute the Offenders.
This means that the employees Of the
companies who made the rate and ar
ranged for the rebates will be the
ones to suffer.
This is the beginning of an investi-
cation throughout the United States
of railroad companies that have been
violating the railroad laws. IL is UNI
derstood that roads operating in Mich
igan have been flagrantly violating the
law.
United States District Attorneys
Frank Watson and George B. Coville
will receive communication from the
department OF justice instructing
them to make investigations.
1t may be necessary for them TO
request their respectige United States
judges to call a federal jury for the
investigation of what the district at
torneys may conclude to be misde-
meanors on the part of certain rail-
road officials.
The test case probably will take
place in Los Angeles and then will be
carried to the United States supreme
court.

Family Broken Up.

In an outburst of rage Frank Owens,
an inmate of the Kalamazoo county
house, attacked Keeper Briggs Sunday
with a pocket knife. The keeper was
taken unawares. He turned just in
time to catch Owens hand and Crap
ping, the two rolled on the floor and
struggled for the possession of the
knife. A panic ensued among the other
inmates, but a number of other attend
ants came to Briggs assistance and
Owens was overpowered.
A complaint was made against
Owens. but as il appears he is insane,
an order has been issued for his re-
moval TO the asylum. BY the complaint
against Owens a peculiar state of af-
fairs existing in his family was brought
to light.
Owens wife and small child are
confined in the county house, and an
other child is attending the free
school at Coldwater The little family
were placed in the county house last
fall after one of their children had
died 1t is thought that dependency
deranged Owens mind.

Pittsbura's Heavy Loss.

The water is below the 22-foot or
danger line, and the inundated territ-
tory is a sea of mud Conservative
estimates place the damage at $1,000

Over 10000 men are temporarily
thrown out of work, and this great
number so suddenly added to the army
of the unemployed is resulting in wide
spread suffering. Thousands of people
are living in the second floor of their
homes and patrolmen in skiffs are dis
tributing the necessities of life.
In one of the homes a woman gave
birth to a child today, and IL has been

and ladder.
The body of one man was found
floating in the river today, and two

SPRING FLOODS
QUICKLY PASSED
RIVER RAIsIN ON RAMPAGE AND
MONROE SUFFERS FROM
FLOOD.
OTHER PLACES AFFECTED
Flood Came and Ended Quicker Than
Ever Before and Water Reached
Highest Point Ever Recorded.

The 1908 flood of the River Raisin
has passed into history, going as rap
idly as it came, but leaving path OF
desolation, damage and ice cakes be-
hind it. Cattle, pigs and poultry have
been swept away on the flood and
drowned, fences were carried away,
buildings surrounded and isolated,
residents fed from their homes and
abandoned their property until the
food recedes. In many parts of the
city rowboats were the only means of
transportation. as the water was so
deep that II was impossible to send
horses through the streets. The break
ing of the big dam at Manchester,
letting loose the immense amount of
water so suddenly, is blamed for most
of the food.
The real food came without warn
ing. At $50 p. m the gorge that
formed two miles north of the city
and another 1000 feet from the bust
ness center gave way under the pres
sure For more than an hour the ice
passed. Then it jammed between the
bridges of the Lake Shore and the
Michigan Central railroads, spreading
over the lowlands, in some instances
the StCOuu uOOi vi Duliulh5 b.
1t came and went quicker than any
other flood that the oldest inhabitant
can remember, and subsidized just as
1t was beginning to attack the fires in
the furnaces of business houses which
stand near the river bank in the cen
ter of the city. The water was also
the highest ever known, reaching TO
the Orders of the Macomb street
bridge. which is six feet higher than
the old bridge which was carried away
some years ago. On Front street 1t
reached to the bottoms of windows in
residences, and at the Office of c. +.
Beck & Sons lumber yard the water
was several inches above the bottom
stills of the windows both in the office
and planning mill. While the water
is still high, the danger is undoubt-
eddy passed for this year, unless the
river again freezes over.
From all over Monroe county come
reports of high water, with roads i'm
| passible for miles. Some creeks that
are ordinarily only large bitches are
| from a half TO mile wide.
The River Raisin rose again during
Sunday night and flooded another
small section in the eastern part oil
the city. The gorge is still holding
solid below the docks, and that section
is still under water A repetition oil

the next warm spell.

Tornado Torn.

Four whole buildings and two halves
of buildings are habitable in Moss
vile, Miss. The remainder of the
structures were blown down and many
of them swept outside of the town by
a tornado. Two people were killed
and a dozen or more injured. Inhab-
itants of Mossville claim that their
village was scattered at least over
four miles OF territory. A Ratchet
picked up by farmer four miles from
the village was from the stock of the
general store. The tornado cut a
swath several miles long through the
timber and almost every other OBJ
struction on the face of the country.
The loss will reach several hundred
thousand dollars. The towns of $3.50
and Service were wrecked by the
same tornado and another small town,
Epps. was badly damaged. Owing to
swollen streams, washed-out bridges
and fallen wires few definite reports
have come from these places. At Ser
vice a small daughter of Isaac Hollo-
way was killed, and it is reported that
a man, woman and two children also
were killed.
A tornado swept through Tyler
Tex, and cut a wide swath through
the main residence section of the city.
Four were killed. forty injured and
