THE BRAVE MANS PRAYER,

Chicago News.)
I am human, Lord-no more; I'm lucky
to be that.
I've boosted oft, with poor excuse; in
mourning sackcloth I've sat.
My cosmos much to ego runs; when
disciplined 1 chafe and yelp,
And. like the rest of humankind, I've
frequent hunger for your help.
But, heed me, Lord, that l may put in
to this plea my utmost zest.
Please do not start assisting me until
you see I've done my best.
Many time and yet again I've fooled
myself along this line
Have thought myself exhausted quite
and sore in need of strength divine.
Until within me something stirred
some hidden power sprang to light
And, like Paul Jones, my spirit cried
I'VE have not yet begun to fight
Help me remember this. dear Lord
when l come whining round the
throne
Lend not your everlasting arm while
there's a stroke left in my own.
You know, o Lord. just what l mean;
l need not choose my words with
you.
You know full we'll if what l say with
what is in my heart rings true.
do not ask because fear if ask not
you will not give
You taught me fatherhood; my child
need never plead the right to live
But from my soul the cry ascends and
gushes from my very lips in speech
Give me no aid howe'er 1 plead. for
tasks within my mortal reach.

If portion of your turnips are too
small to pare boil them first and then
rub the skins off with your hands.
The next time you use gasoline to
clean any delicate fabric add a little
cornmeal The meal will scour out all
the spots.
If food is scorched in the cooking re-
move the pan from the stove and
place it in a larger pan OF cold water
Then place a dish towel over the pan
The towel will absorb all the score he'd
taste from the steam and when placed
on the table there will be no taste OF
the scorching.
If you have never tasted potatoes
baked in the following manner then
you have never really tasted baked no
tatoes- Before baking let them stand
in pan OF cold water for about an
hour. then place them in the oven
and bake in the usual manner The
steam so generated will make them
cook more rapidly.
Though the average housekeeper ap-
parently isn't aware Of the fact that a
waste basket In the kitchen is q use

Try one under your kitchen table in
which to throw all wrappers from par
GELS and other odds and ends that can
not be placed in the garbage or in the

hang small bag over the kitchen ia

and ends of string and cord.

WE ARE GLAD TO SAY

We call the attention of Mr. Harry
Paschke of speeding fame to the man.
ner in which Mr.. John F. Davenport
averted an accident the other night
by smashing the front end of his car
to avoid running into two people. Mr..
Paschke when sojourning in this city
did not show the consideration for
others which marked the actions of
Mr.. Davenport or any other careful
driver. In fact If he had been up
against the same proposition and had
to choose between smashing his car
or running over the people he in all
probability would have had no chance
to display his presence of mind-the
momentum of the car would have done
the rest
The Palladium takes this occasion
not only to compliment a very meri-
torious performance on the part of Mr..
John F. Davenport but to make good
our assertion that the drivers of cars
are as rule careful. The car. of Mr.
Davenport was under complete control
as events proved. The Palladium is
particularly glad to call to public no.
tice the careful drivers as we'll as the
speed maniacs and their machines.

RIFE

Yesterday. Rife, tried by a jury OF
twelve Of his peers and sentenced to
electrocution without any recommen-
dation for leniency, stands ready for
the chair, with no appeal for a new tri-
al. That is an unusual occurrence in
this day and generation. Golfers
Weekly has just been calling attention
to the difference in judicial proceed
ure. particularly in murder cases, in
England and America. The affair
would have been commonplace in En-
glish courts, 1t is noteworthy in COM
parison with the abortions of Justice

cold and judicial manner of a man.

according to the traditions of our an
ccstors and the apparent common good.
is it not a far healthier attitude than
the sham and tinsel sentimentality
over criminals and the weakening of
the respect for law and order which
Is becoming more and more apparent?
Whatever one may think of the ques-
ton as to whether or not Thaw Ia
guilty or innocent, even those who be-
lieve him guiltless can not defend a
system which makes farce out of the
provision for the criminally insane If
a man Is guilty-let him have the full
ness Of the law and not maunder
over it in q white livered fashion and
release him or commit him to an in
sane asylum.
It is relief. therefore. from this
point Of view. to think that local con-
ditions are such that a definite decis-
ion tree from technicalities. employed
by skillfnl attorneys, has been hon.
estly and incisively arrived at.
For when courts do hazy and half
hearted work. 1t does not mean the re-
moval Of cloud from q mans repu-
tation when the courts free him.

Lucius futile Declares Need
Of Many Reforms Is

MERGE SHOULD NOT BE COM.
PEELED TO GO OUT AND WORK
UP MOST OF CASES.

Beverly, Mass, Sept 4.-That the
railroads of the United States will be
behind President Taft in many of the
reforms which he proposes as amend
ments to the Interstate Commerce act
is the conviction of Mr. Lucius Tuttle.
president of the Boston and Maine
Railroad and one of the best known
railroad men in New England.
Mr.. futile is not in sympathy with
all of the reforms which the President
has directed his law commission, head
ed by Attorney General wickersham,
to investigate. AS practical rail-
road manager he doubts the feasibility
of accomplishing some OF the changes
which have been suggested. In an in
terview with a correspondent Mr..
futile said:
Most Harmless PART
From my point Of view the most
harmful part Of the Interstate Com

investigation. detective service and in
other ways the cases which they will
try. The law makes it necessary for
them to do this in the line OF their
duty. The commission is In all prac-
teal ways court. A railroad goes
before it, and, in a way. the rules of
evidence are observed, and it deals
with the road as a court and makes
decision. This decision is the law
until it is upset through an appeal.
1T is well known that no man can
Investigate complaint in an ex parte
way without forming an opinion and
practically arriving at decision. One
able and Influential member of the
commission said to me not long ago
that most of the cases they were called
upon to try were prejudged before
they were heard. He did not mean
that the opinions Of the Commission
ers could be changed, but that they
start in at a hearing with them al
ready formed. This is not fair to the
Commissioners, the railroad or the
complainant
IF the President can find some plan
by which cases can be worked UP by
the Department of Justice and decided
by the Commissioners he will have
produced nearer absolute Justice than
can otherwise come. We do not COM

THE TED CHARITIES

We should like to see the appeal Of
the Associated Charities answered in
very substantial manner by the eiti-
Gems OF Richmond. Every one must
know that the price Of household COM
modities has gone up, taxes are going
up, which also eventually means high
er rent. clothing is higher In price.
Wages, which were good few years
ago are not what they once were in
actual buying power. These are facts.
We are promised good times and
things are already getting better.
But ~r...-,..~..
The simple fact Is that there are
many people In this town whose in.
comes are SO deIicateIy adjusted that
an unusual expense such as sickness,
child birth, or few days Of enforced
ldIsness means much. II may mean
the loan shark or other difficuIties-
It may mean seml-starvation IL the
man docs not want to get into debt
It may mean that he will be started
down the wrong path. These people
are not paupers and we should resent
Just as they do any imputation that
they belong to such a class.
These people need just sucl, treat
