Mr.. posT's ARTICLE,

The Grafton Republican has the
following to say concerning Nn inter-
esting article by we'll known West
Virginia author:
One of the best articles we have
ever read from the pen of Melville
DAVIDSON Post, the well known West
Virginia author, is that to be found
in the current number Of Persons
Magazine. entitled "shall We Burn
the Court House?" In this article
Mr.. Post departs from his engaging
storytelling and confines himself to
a discussion of tae question OF wheth-
err the law really serves the rich and
fails the poor. Doubtless a good
many judges who have read the arti.
Gle will not take kindly to It. The
article Is one OF considerable length,
but, containing as 1t does, solid trutss,
intermingled and interviewer with
some very droll tales OF courts Of law,
ut Is at once sparkling, witty. sound.
impressive and interesting withal. We

AGREES WITH MR.. BRYAN

For once the New York World en-
tertains views similar to those ex-
pressed by Hon. William Jennings
Bryan, of Lincoln, Nebraska, whose
name our readers have no doubt seen
in print before. The World says:
Mr.. Bryan in Kansas City inter
view has made the following state
ment relative to his political future:
While hope that my party win not
find it necessary to call for me as
Presidential candidate in the next
campaign. make the emphatic state
ment that have no intention of re-
firing from politics. began to fight
for Democratic principles long before
my party heard Of me. and as live i
shall continue it as long as | have
strength"
The World is pleased to find itself
in accord with Mr.. Bryan on all these
points.
We hope 1T will not be necessary l3r.
his party to nominate him again for
President.
We hope he will not retire from
politics.
We hope he will continue to fight
for Democratic principles, and the
more Democratic they are the better.
1t is the great misfortune of the
Democratic party that during the last
thirteen years too many Democrats re-
tired from politics, and too many Dem
ocrats ceased to fight for Democratic
principles.

BOYLE SEEKS
TO CHEAT Pen
MAKES ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE
AND FRIENDS TRY TO LIRER.
ATE HIM.

MERCER, Pa, April 23.-The Mer.
Ger county authorities are greatly
worried over an ailsged attempt of
James H. Boyle, the whitla hdnap.
per, to commit suicide, and later a
welI.planned attempt on the part of
supposed friends on the outside to lib.
crate the prisoner from the 1ail here.
While both affairs We're frustrated,
their successful conclusion seems to
have been ayerted by the narrowest
margin.
Late yesterday afternoon It was.
learned that early yesterday morning
Boyle became suddenly Ill. He was
found lying on the floor of his cell in
the agontes Of commissions. Doctors
were hurriedly summoned and worked
with the abductor until late in the
night, when his condition improved.
Boyle is very sick man, but no dan.
ger of serious consequences is feared.
Excepting that his illness was such as
would be caused by some powerful
drug, nothing can be learned.
Plot to Rescue.
A few minutes after last midnight
an attempt to l!berate Boyle failed on
account Of the prisoners illness. At
that hour guards found a twenty,foot
ladder in position at window in
Boyleis cell. The supposition is that
the men who were to free Boyle climb
ed this ladder and then found his cell
empty, the prisoner being in tine jail
hospital becaues of illness.
That Boyle is making every effort
to escape is indicated by letter found
on his person addressed to Sharon,
Pa, in which he describes to parties
not generally known the best way to
effect his liberty. 1t is explained that
Boyle wrote this letter some time ago,
but could find no way to mail 1t. The
authorities are investigating the mat.
tie rand developments are expected at
Sharon.
At nearly every turn snerln Chess
is said ITO uncover suspicious traces of
an attempted escape on the part of
Boyle, and for this reason extra guards
are now on duty.
