-Supt. lie onard.

Parents who permit their children
to become disobedient and willful are
training criminals and fostering an
archists," declared James A. Leonard,
superintendent of the Mansfield re-
formatory, in the First Methodist
church Sunday evening.
TOO often," he continued, sit could
be said with truth that America is the
land of the free and the home of the
lawless. The high school boys in
Cleveland who have rebelIed against
their instructors are headed straight
for Mansfield, and their obstinacy is
a disgrace to the homes from which
they come and the city of Cleveland"
TT requires the highest type of civ
ilization to be a true father; and if a
boy has true father, don't see how
he can possibly go wrong. There is
too great tendency for fathers to
abandon the training of their sons
to mothers and the street. l can see
an excuse for this from the railroad
engineer and others who must be
away, but the professional man who
can find time for anything rather
than his boy has no excuse"

Oklahoma City, okla, Nov 1.-THE
dead body of Roy d. Cannon, thirty
years of age, a wealthy real estate
man, was discovered by his girl stem
ographer this afternoon hanging from
the roof of the fourteen story Office
building known as the Campbell build
ing.
Cannon had been dead several hours
and the police are confronted with the
most mysterious southwestern crime in
recent years. A package containing
$1,000 in currency which Cannon drew
from a bank Saturday is missing.
After Cannon was beaten into insen-
sibility a moose was formed from a
piece of rope and with the aid of a
piece of iron the rope was twisted
about his neck almost severing his
head. The secret service department
is seeking a blonde woman with whom
Cannon was seen on the streets here
in an auto late Saturday afternoon.
Cannon came here several years
ago from Lexington, KY, and was one
of the leading real estate men of Ok
lahoma.

TAFT To START SOON
ON HIS MESSAGE
By Sun Leased Wire.

BY Sun Leased Wire.
Augusta, Ga, Nov 7.--President Taft
will begin the preparation of his mes
sage to congress soon after his return
to Washington on Wednesday. He
has indicated clearly enough in his
speeches what that message will be.
1t will recommend an unusually long
program fer congress and one that IS
likely to revive a good deal of the
hostility shown to the Roosevelt ad-
ministration on the score of railroad
rate legislation.
That the president has been looking
forward to the possibility of serious
opposition within the ranks of his own
party is indicated by his recent
speeches. On several occasions he has
warned the public that congress not
the president, is to be blamed for fail
ure to enact laws clinChing the Roose-
welt policies.

CAS- WELL MUCH BETTER
THAN WAS SUPPOSED

Canton capitalists, who recently
drilled in gas well at Summerield,
Noble county, o., have struck much
larger one than they at first supposed.
A test well by gas experts shows a
rock pressure of 900 pounds and a
flow of one and one-half million feet
of gas every twenty-four hours or
enough to supply the city Of Canton,
Several gas companies are after the
well to increase their supplies. More
wells may be drilled in later as the
men owning this well have a large
amount of acreage under lease in the
immediate vicinity.

Chicago, Nov. Two persons, a

were plunged into the Chicago river
at Jackson Boulevard late tonight,
when an auto ran into an open draw
bridge.
1t is believed that all three occupants
of the car were drowned. Watchmen
ON the bridge heard screams and saw
a man swimming down stream with a
woman clinging to his neck after the
touring car had disappeared beneath
the surface The cries soon ceased
and in a moment the swimmer and
his burden were lost to sight in the
darkness.
Policemen and firemen on the fire
boat Graeme Stewart began a search
for the victims of the accident within
a few moments after the alarm was
given and preparations were made to
drag the river.
The accident occurred at 10 o'clock
when the bridge swung open to allow
a tug to pass through. One auto was
halted at the approach of the bridge
when a small touring car bearing a
man and a woman in the front seat, ap-
preached at high speed. Although the
watchmen say the danger signal lights
were burning and the warning bell
ringing the car did not slacken it's
speed. When it got near the watch

rection of Miss Sarah LAWN, sang

George Jackson of the First Presby-
terian charch delivered the invoca-
ton, and Rev. Floyd Beckwith of the
First Baptist church gave the bene-
diction.
Mrs Kate Waller Barrett, national
president Of the Florence Crlttenton
Mission of Alexandria, Va, lectureu
first on "The Friendless Girl"
Girls are friendless, or at least do
not have good friends, because other
people are not always made of the
right stuff" she said There are
only too many people who are always
asking themselves the question, what
can l get out of the world, and not
what can l give the world. There
are always seeds of tragedy, the per-
petrators as well as others, in that
selfish spirit which knows not the
| rights of others.
Three fourths of our fallen girls
come from the domestic service, and
so l disapprove of any plan of trying
10 reform them by putting them back
in the service in which they fell. No,
these girls need a friend above all
things who can sympathize with her
sufferings and lead her into better
| life"
Prof. Henderson Speaks.
Prof. Charles Richmond Henderson
of the University of Chicago, president
of the International Prison commits
sion. spoke on the ounce of Preven-

"Imbeciles," said he. "are almost
always children of feeble-minded par
ents, and the only way to free the
world from them forever is to prevent
the intermarriaee of imbeciles.
There was a time when the world
vindictively punished it's criminals,
when the offender was either executed
or placed in vile dungeon and prac-
tically outlawed. Even theology taught
that strange doctrine, out today we
are beginning more and more to see
| that instead of punishment, we should
attempt reform and make possible a
useful and happy life for the fallen.
