COULD SAVE MONEY.
Chicago Loses Million Year Un.
necessarily.

Chicago. March s.-Chicago loses up
ward of $1,OO0,0 900 in real money every
year by not properly aiding in the pre-
vention of preventable disease, avoid
able accidents and unnecessary loss of
life.
This is the assertion of DR.. Emil G.
TIirsch. in a hearty Endorsement of
the health sermons Health Commits
sioner Evans has been preaching for
two years.
I'VE built the drainage canal at
enormous expense" says DR.. Hirsch,
''but at a real saving for Chicago.
Typhoid fever has become almost a
curiosity in this city except as it
comes in through the milk supply. IL
that is properly supervised and watch
ed typhoid will almost completely dis
appear.
Consumption is largely caused by
greed. and the state should curb such
greed. You will find consumption in
the tenement houses. Why do men
build tenements? Because they are
good investments; they bring in rents.
large quantities because of the num-
ber of persons crowded into the houses.
1.-THE state should say that such greed
of the landlord does not fall under the
rights of property. The owner who
has no higher moral conscience than
to contribute to the number of victims
of preventable disease should fall under
the harsh hand of the state, as he does
in many states of Europe"

WOMAN ACQUITTED.
Mrs. Euphemia James Not Guilty of
Parsons Robberies.

Oswego, Kan, March S.-The jury in
| the sensational case of the state
against Mrs. Euphemia James has
brought in a verdict of not guilty after
an hour of deliberation.
This is one of the cases arising out
of the robbery of the Strasburger de-
partment store at Parsons last Novem-
ber when several thousand dollars of
silks, furS and dresses were stolen.
Within forty-eight hours the author
tiles had in custody Paul Weggen, as
sistant chief of police of Parsons, to-
gether with Harry Claughley and Mrs.
James.
In few hours Mrs. James had con-
fessed to receiving the stolen property
and concealing it in her residence.
Weggen was put on trial at the No
vember term of court after escaping
twice and being recaptured each time,
and was then convicted and sentenced
to the penitentiary, his co-defendant,
Claughley, going on the witness stand
against Weggen.
Mrs. James refused to testify.
Claughley again went on the stand in
the James case with his story, but the
eloquence of E. L. Burton, the attor-
ney for Mrs. James, apparently secured
her acuuitaal.

MURDOCH MENTIONED.
Kansas Congressman Mentioned as
Successor to Cannon.

Washington, March S.-A special
sent out from here says: Victor
Murdoch of Kansas is being men
toned" as a possible candidate for
speaker of the house should the
Democrats decide on a coalition with
the 1nSurgent Republicans.
The whole matter is in the air as
vet, but some of the enthusiastic
Democrats are suggesting the ad-
visibility of following the example of
the Illinois Democrats who united
with insurgent Republicans and
elected a speaker of the lower house
of the state legislature. They have
suggested Murdoch as the most avail
able candidate by reason of the
leadership in the fight on the rules
The Kansas congressman said that
he was not a party to any plan of
the sort.
But whatever the outcome in re-
gard to the speakership fight, the in
surgents are greatly encouraged over
the outlook for a real revision of the
rules They have learned that
Speaker Cannon is much worried and
that he has retained James Watson,
eX-Republican whip of the house, to
round up new members for the or
ganization.

Proposed Church Auction of Un-
employed Called OFF.

New York. March S.-The pro-
posed 'sale'' of unemployed men at
the Parkside Presbyterian church in
the Flatbush section of Brooklyn was
not held last night because of police
interference. 1t had been announced
that twenty men with their faces
covered by masks to avoid the
humiliation, would be auctioned off
from the pulpit to the highest bidder.
A similar sale had recently been held
successfully and the Rev. John d.
Long interested himself in the mat
ter and decided to procure employ
ment for other destitute men in this
way.
The police stopped the sale by vir-
tue of section of the penal code
which says that IAN assemblage in
public houses, or other places of
three or more persons disguised by
having their faces painted, discolored.
coIored or concealed, is unlawful
Although it was not an absolute neceS-
sity to have the men masked when
the church authorities saw the police
on hand they decided to call the auc-
ton off.

Store friends, as a rule, understand
the raison d'etre of this Furniture Sale.
1t had its origin in preparation for
Spring closing out the odd pieces and
getting stock in ship-shape for the in
coming carloads of new pieces.
So the Annual March Furniture Sale
has grown to be one of the greatest of
store events - greatest in its total of
merchandise distributed and greatest in
money-saving possibilities.
To merely say that Furniture is re-
duced in price, or even that it is excep-
tionally low, is really not enough.
But to say that regular $3.50, solid oak
Chiffonieres are selling for $5. 81; that
full-size regular $2.5 Iron Beds are
selling for $1.69; that regular $3.50
golden oak Rockers are selling for So. IL;
that regular LOO Dining Chairs are sell
ing for 79c; that $1,000, solid mahog-
any Dresser is priced $685. so; that 709
pieces of Furniture are reduced from 21c
to $41.50 each-gives one some idea of
the economies possible in this sale.
Those are the kind of bargains you
may expect Look for the GOLDEN
OPPORTUNITY Tags-they tell which
pieces are reduced; and honestly, how
much.

trouble. Capital hangs back when
a government is not certain to last
forty-eight hours, like many Of the
South American Republics.
The United States made no
promise TO Cubans when she took
up their cause. In fact the Gu
bans were in the long grass. True,
the Senate passed resolution
whereby they disclaimed any in
tention of annexing the island.
Why they did SO no one can tell.
There would be no breach of faith
if they were not to live up to it.
There was no second party to that
mad compact. Only the ghost of
Patrick Henry which takes up
lot of the Senate's time at the ex-
pense of the people who are alive
today. Anyway the island would
be of immense value to the United
States and the Cubans cannot give
good reason why they should
stand alone.
On the other hand, business
men can give a hundred good rea-
sons why Cuba shouldi be under
the control of sound government.
There would be more sense in
leaving the Philippines where the
American is not or ever was want
ed. At the same time | would not
only stick 20 the Philippines but
to Cuba us we'll. By doing SO
America will be true to her trust
and raise inferior races higher
than they could get by themselves.
It is beside the question: but what
man can say there is any doubt
that Egypt has not been lifted out
of the mire by Britain. The diff
ference seen in Egypt for the bet
! ter during the last fifteen years is
pronounced marvellous by those
who know and the worst thing the
States can do for Cuba is to leave
it to govern itself. A. G.
