KILLS STEPFATKER
WITH An AXE
I2-YeaT- Old Girl Says He Threat
Gned to Beat Her TO Death,

Raleigh, n. c., July 1.-THE second
of two of the most distressing killings
bv children scarcely in their teens Is
reported from the back woods OF
Johnston county. Joseph Pulley. an
elderly farmer, residing three miles
from the town Of Selma, was killed by
his stepdaughter, Maria. The girl, who
is not yet twelve years old. struck
him on the head with an axe while
he was asleep.
The girl says that her stepfather
had treated her cruelty for years, and
threatened TO beat her TO death,
when he awoke. He never awoke TO
carry out the threat The officers say
that Pulley has been married three
times. and that the child who killed
him is the illegitimate daughter OF his
second wife. who is dead. The coron-
ers jury has partly exonerated the
girl although she has been committed
to Jail for trial.
Less than a week ago, in the same
part of the same county, a boy OF
twelve years. murdered his father
while the father was chastising his
mother. the latter having called upon
the boy for help.

Election For Senators.

Lincoln. Neb.. July 14.-William J.
Bryan addressed a letter to President
Taft. asking him to allow the people
to vote on popular election OF sena-
tors. Mr.. Bryan says.
president Taft-NOw that the
states are going to vote on the rati-
fcation of the amendment specifically
authorizing an income tax. why not
give them chance 10 vote on an
amendment providing for the election
of United States senators by popular
vote?
in your speech Of acceptance you
said that you were personally inclined
10 favor such a change in the consti-
tuition.
Would this not be an opportune
time to present the subject to con
gress? Two constitutional amend
ments. one authorizing income tax and
the other providing for the popular
election of senators. would make your
administration memorable, and |
pledge You whatever assistance l can
render i'm securing the ratification OF
these amendments. With great re-
spect. | am. yours truly

IDEAL GOVERNMENT

In this age Of the mere politicians
who are wise (? in all things especi-
ally in the science OF Government It
is refreshing to turn to one OF Macau-
laws pages and get this glimpse oil
GOOD government: Our rulers will
best promote the improvement OF the
people by strictly confining them
selves to their own legitimate duties
by leaving capital to find its most lu-
crative course, commodities their FAR
price. industry and intelligence their
natural reward, idleness and folly
their natural punishment; by main
tanning peace, by defending property
by diminishing the price OF law and
by observing strict economy in every
department of the State. Let the
government do this-the people viii
assuredly do the rest.
