GIRL LIVES LONG UNDER ICE.

100 Yards AWAY

wv al 10 away
Denver, Colo, Dec. 14.-Della Krug,
II years old, risked her life and nearly
lost it in rescuing her pet spaniel from
drowning. She was swept under the
ice on the Mullin mill ditch in the su-
burbs of the city and carried 100 yards
down stream.
dozen men who had seen the acct
dent rushed upon the ice searching for
a trace of the child and one Of them
finally caught sight of her bright color
ed dress thru the ice. All seized bars
and pieces of iron pipe and breaking
thru the. ice, brought the girl to the
surface.
She was unconscious and was re-
vived with difficulty. The dog, still
clasped in her arms, seemed little the
worse for it's experience.

upon party fortunes. 1t Is not TO be

and state authorities have from the be-

with the men and so avoid an issue re-
curing the use OF force.
It has been often pointed out. on the
strength Of repeated experiences. that the
most merciful method in such disturb
ances of industrial relations is to use
force first and to use it, always in the
name OF law. without compromise or
mistaken tenderness. When the late
jeremiah Rusk was governor of Wis
consin about score of years ago he
was confronted by serious strike stu
alton in one of the larger cities of the
state. When 1t became apparent that
the local authorities could not control
the situation he ordered state troops TO
the scene and gave them specific IN
structions that upon the first sign OF
lawiessness they were to shoot, and that
any man who shot deliberately over the
heads Of the crowd would be court-mar-
tailed If detected. Very shortly after
the arrival of the troops on the scene
trouble did occur. and volley was
ordered. with the result that several OF
the rioters were killed in the first en-
gagement. The mob dispersed and never
gathered again. The few lives that were
then sacrificed unquestionably saved many
others.
It may be a cruel doctrine, but IL is
nevertheless true and sound, that the
most humane method of procedure IN
such situation is to insist from the be-
ginning upon law enforcement, win
every man who raises his hand TO break
the law subject to the penalty of death
after warning is given. II this country

1t is the favorite pastime of the Cana

the corrupt governments of American
municipalities and to strike a 'holier

line and all officials We're honest aud eff
ficient on the other. Now. let us have
no more of that hypocritical braggadocio.

misgovernment while concealing their
own. Now it has been unveiled. For
particulars read the story of the yenality
which has been rife in Montreal. Read

The Currencv Problem.

The exchange of personalities between
Representative Fowler and Speaker Can
non Is regrettable, but not important
Both men are old enough to know better.
Neither mans estimate of the other will
be accepted by the, country Mr.. Cannon
il not conspirato- against the public
welfare nor ignorant and corrupt. nor
lis the New Jersey man a chuckiehead.
Both have spoken under the spell or
an ger. AS Mr. Cannon was replying to
an attack. he Is the less censlrable. But
he could have afforded silence. He had
nothing to gain By adopting Mr.. Fowier's
tone. Answering a man. according to
his anger never pays.
But We get a line on what the cur
rency problem Is going to develop from
Mr.. Fovler's example in going to the
Congressional Record for material There
will be good deal Of that sort of
thing done when the ball opens in Con-
sress. Old files are being industriously
searched by men. senators as well as
representatives, who expect to take. part
In framing the new currency legislation.
Statesmen with records must prepare to
face them. What they said and how
they voted years ago will be laid-in
some cases arrassingly-bcfore the
country and their own eyes.
1t is long story. going back to war
times Many eminent men-some Of them
still In actfon-have crossed their own
tracks as to both paper money and metal
money. Theories without number have
been advanced about divorcing the gov
eminent from the banking business
Other theories have done duty bearing
on improving the. circulation Of the cur
rency-how to expand when expansion Is
required, and how to contract when con-
traction Is advisable
What the country really wants, and
needs, is improved legislation based upon
what present day conditions disclose. But
before we get new iegis,a tion we snail
be obliged to go through a welter of talk.
largely political, about the past. That is
inevitable. As in all things with US, poll
tics enters into the question and must
be reckoned with The congressional
campaign of next year will resound with
charges and counter charges about what
the, one party and then the other, and
what this man and that, said and did
years ago and recently as to currency,
ana coinage and all kindred matters.
We have just had an exhibition OF how
men have crossed their own tracks on
the tariff question. The same thing is
coming as to the currency question. When
Mr. Aldrich brings In a currency bill
based upon Investigations made In this
country and in Europe and offers a CON-
mittee report In support of u, period OF
very warm discussion. in Congress and
cut, will be inaugul ated, with the result
