Girls Don't Talk Back.

A telephone central without a sin
gle bell, but with all the signals made
by lights of different colors, and with
lug cords of red, green and white to
match the lights. are some of the latest
developments of the mechanical end
o. telephoning, which tend to increase
the speed and at the same time to
decrease the nervous strain on the
hello girls
At the same time that the electri-
clans are inventing new things the pub
lie is doing it's share of the relief work,
for, according to an official report,
the habit of addressing profanity to
central is dying out. While sever

they did not get their connections

FOUND DEAD IN ALLEY.
Bits of Murdered Girls Clothing
Strewn a Distance of Two Blocks.

Cairo, Ill, Nov. 10.-Evidences that
Miss Annie Policy, a Cairo shop girl,
fought through a terrific struggle be-
fore succumbing to brutal assailants,
has been discovered. Bits of torn
clothing strew the alleyway in which
children found her disfigured corpse,
these mute evidences of the girls love
for life and purity revealing that she
fought against her murderers for two
blocks.
That her fight was destined to be a
losing one was evidenced by the care
fully prepared gag and the heavy cls h
bands with which her cries for aid were
stifed and her strength of resistance
overcome. Miss Policy was a country
girl of rather unusual strength and the
authorities are inclined to believe that
more than one person was involved il
the attack upon her.
Thus far, except for the gag and the
strips of toweling used by the muir
derers, there has been almost no clue to
their identity. Bloodhounds were
put on the trail but they led the police
only two blocks and a half from the
scene of the crimes.
The dogs picked up the scent when
the body was found and went eastward
through the alley to Sycamore street
sixth street and along that thorough
fare one block to Poplar street There
the scent was lost. 1t is thought that
the murderers boarded a car at this
point.
Every police officer in the city is at
work on the case which has caused q
tremendous sensation in this vicinity
Mayor Parsons has offered a reward of
5000 for the arrest of the murderers
The victim of the crime was "a years
old. She came here few months ago
from Anna, ILL.,, and has been living
with married sister on Twenty sixth
street. Because of her frequent habit
of spending the night with girl friends,
no fear was felt by her relatives when
Miss Policy failed to return home She
was on her way to take a car from her
work in a local dry goods store when
last seen by friends and it is though.
the crime occurred early in the even
ing, at least twelve hours before the
body was found

QUOTES OLD AUTHORS
Tendency Of Party Spirit to
Support Error
"One of Gravest Dangers to the
Republic"
QUOTES OLD AUTHORS

To the Editor of the State Journal:
NV attention has recently been chal-
lensed to a statement of Mr.. derpert
made in his letter of october 25th, pub
lished in the State Journal as part OF
his discussion with Mr.. McNeal l
wish to disclaim any interest In the
controversy of which Mr.. Herbert's let
ter IS a part, but while making such
disclaimer 1 desire to notice the state
ment in the letter which reads:
.sThe man who turns traitor to his
,.our+rv isn't much worse than the
traitor to his party"
Such a statement ought to surprise
anv one of sense in the state. BY it /
understand that because McNeal is dis
nosed to advocate his convictions and
to criticise some of the recent acts OF
the political party with which he is
affiliated. he is to be likened to traitor
to his country. The making OF sucn q
statement and comparison should give
its author the seat OF emlnence IN any
meeting of partisans.
It demonstrates that he puts party
rpon an equality with country
craftsmanship with patriotism. and that
to raise the voice against party actlon
is the same as giving aid to the enemies s
of ones country. Such rot makes
doutly evident the truth announced by
st. Pierre that, Party standards are
the cemeteries where patriotism is
buried" 1t also gives voice to the
sentiment of that large number OF Of
fceholders whose seven political cardi-
nal principles are the five loaVes ana
two fishes. r.
It cannot possibly be bad thing for
either state or nation that kansas
possesses men of the temper OF HoraCe
Mann who said, zone thing I certainly
never was made for, and that is to put
principle on and off at the dictation OF
a party, as lackey changes his livery
at his masters command" Marrow
people may desire the lackey brand Dur
I am convinced that the masses of Kan
sas will follow the temper and spirit OF
Horace Mann.
Whateley took long and intelligent
view into the future and saw Herbert 5
class when he wrote: 1.-The tendency of
party spirit has ever been to disguise,
propagate and support error" He may
feel complimented by the fact that

ton when he wrote, IF we mean to

David, few years ago started what
he called newspaper at Weippe, which
he later moved to Greer, and then to
some other place. David, it was, who
disappeared from the journalistic hor-
lion for time, and then notice of his
death appeared in paper published in
the Occur d'Alenes. This notice libel
ously referred to David as "a promi-

sounded altogether like his own.

as to secure Joe Sugars, of Orogrande,
to give our readers, each week, the
news from Orogrande and the tributary
mining country. Our readers can de-
pend upon what Mr.. Sugars writes. He
is mining man of great deal of ex-
perience, he knows the. districts and
properties about which be writes, and,
hest of all, in him is such inherent hon
esty that he will not digress from the
truth to make things have boomy APP
pearance. Mining men who want to
keep posted on the Orogrande section
will find much in Mr.. Sugars letters.
