Chicago is making great record for auto
mobile accidents. During the past seven months
ffty-one persons have been killed in that city by
automobiles and Io48 injured. And the long rec
ord of motor car accidents is certain to continue
unless some method can be found to make the
reckless users of cars more careful. The only
way in which some of them could be made more
careful would be a term in prison. Accidents
happen, there is talk for time, more care is ex-
ercised for a while, and then the old pace is re-
sumed The unfair part of it is that the public
is disposed to blame all motorists for the sins
of few

KILLS WIFE, DAUGHTER. SELF.
Barron, Wis, Farmer Commits Afro.
clous Crime.

Barron, Wis, Aug. 9.-When the
older children of Christ Hanson en-
tered their farm home near Cameron,
on returning from picking berries in
the field, they stumbled in the dark
over the dead body Of their mother.
On lighting lamp 1t was found that
the woman's throat had been cut from
ear to ear.
In horror the children ran from the
house and walked to Cameron, two
miles distant, for help. The village
marshal and doctor returned to the
farm house with them.
Besides the body Of Mrs. Hanson,
the corpse of 6-year-old daughter
was found in manger in the barn,
with the head nearly severed. In the
hayloft Hanson's remains were found,
also with the throat cut.
No motive for the crimes is known,
but Hanson has been regarded as men,
tally unbalanced for some time. If not
actually insane. Recently he sold a
fine large barn near Barron for less
than half Its value and has otherwise
acted strangely. He was in good fin
ancial circumstances and owned two
farms in Barron county and one In the
state Of Iowa.

TWO KILLED IN NIGHT FIRE
CAUSED BY LIVE WIRE FAILING

Yards Destroyed.

Minneapolis, Aug. 1.-TWO men
were killed by live wire and third
had his hands severely burned as a
result of a fire in lumber yards be-
tween Minneapolis and st. Paul.
The men were leaning against q
barb wire fence and watching the fire
when an electric feed wire fell to the
ground after the flames had melted
its fasteings. In falling it came in
contact with the barb wire and sent
a charge of 1900 volts of electricity
through Gust Walstrom, aged 81 and
Charles Baker, aged As, killing them
instantly. E. Peterson escaped with
severe burns on his hands.
The fire destroyed the yards of the
Minnesota Transfer and the H. B.
Waite Lumber companies. The H.
B. Waite company is the heaviest los
er. The total loss is estimated at
$4,000. The fire started from sparks
thrown out by a passing locomotive.
The loss of the H. B. Waite COM
pany will amount to about 100000.
two-thirds of which is protected by
insurance. The Minnesota Transfer
Lumber company's loss will also
amount to around 100000. but it could
not be learned whether protected by
insurance or not.

SENTENCE SUSPENDED. DIES.
Former Mayor Of Davenport Dies En-
Route to His Family.

Des Moines. Iowa. Aug. 9.-Samuel
Francis Smith. embezzler, former
mayor of Davenport and son of the
man who wrote America" died in
hospital at Toronto, Canada.
He was taken from train bearing
him to Newton Center, Mass, where
his wife and daughter awaited his
coming after five years. separation.
Smith was released last Thursday
from the state reformatory at Ana
mosa, on orders from Governor Car
roll. His sentence was suspended be-
cause of his old age. He had served
five years of an IL years. sentence.
Samuel Francis Smith was one of
the most highly respected citizens of
Iowa. A former mayor of Davenport,
a brilliant lawyer, a banker, active in
church work, he had many friends
and no enemies. Son and namesake
of the man who penned the words Of
Americas national hymn, he was an
honored member of the Sons of the
American Revolution. Sprung from
proud New England stock Mr.. Smith
and his wife were among the most
prominent people Of Davenport. They
had one child, an invalid daughter on
whom they lavished their wealth.
Suddenly whispers began to spread
followed by open charges. Smith was
placed under arrest. Examination Of
his books showed that he was a de-
faulter to the extent of 100000 of
trust funds entrusted to him.
He admitted his guilt and asked for
speedy trial.
He did not ask for mercy. Mrs.
Smith sold her mansion in Davenport

DEEDS OF JESUS ou1DoNE.
Or. Fisher, President of Lombard Col
lege, Compares Miracles and
Modern Works.

Galesburg, Ill.-Taking for his
theme the words of Jesus that those
who believe in him can do greater
works than he, President Fisher in
his baccalaureate sermon to the
seniors of Lombard college the other
day contended that it is possible for
Christians to do greater work than
did Jesus through the exercise of a
right belief.
DR.. Fisher compared to what Christ
did the achievements of modern
physicians and surgeons who have
made the art of healing universal and
performed remarkable cures. To the
changing of water into wine he COM
pared the irrigation schemes of the
west, by which water is transformed
into products of the fields and or
chards. Walking on water the
speaker declared too slow, and
he compared this to the mod
ern wireless telegraph, by which
speedy ships go to the relief of the
vessel in distress.
H. H. Rogers, he said, left all he
made and went only with what he
was. The man who makes two blades
grow where one grew and puts both
IN his own mouth was declared I'M
Christly.

The Tariff Tragedy

Not least among the tragedies of
American history is the tragedy of the
tariff. Greatest of all tariff tragedies
IS that which has just been enacted at
Washington and endorsed by the presi-
dent of these United States.
The tragedies of the poor are always
terrible, and this new tariff, conceived
in sin and greed, is essentially TRACE
dy of the poor. 1t decreases the poor
mans earning power by increasing the
cost of living. Every extra penny
taxed upon the burden of the poor is
tragedy in thousands of humble homes.
Time and again during the campaign
of 1908 The Journal warned it's readers
that tariff reduction could never be Sc
cured except by electing democratic
congressman, that tariff revision with
republican congress and republican
president would be farce.
Today proves the Journals warnings
we'll founded. The working masses of
this country are now to be sacrificed
on the altar of New England greed.
High tariff vultures and buzzards from
the idle east hasten to the feast.
The toiling west, where the coun try's
real wealth is created, must be serf to
tariff overlords from New England.
Western workers, their wives, their
daughters, their little children are
bound to the wheels of the protection
juggernaut, to cushion the daily journey
of New England mill bosses and their
profiigate families.
Annually the toilers must pay
billion-dollar tariff tax, not to the gov
eminent, but to the mill bosses of New
England; not to higher wages for New
England mill-hands, but to supply
worthless titles for daughters of tariff
barons and degenerate orgies for their
drunken sons.
These barons of modern feudalism,
by trickery and dishonesty have riveted
IRON fetters on western industry. By
fraudulent and crooked legislation they
have enslaved the west.
The only hope now lies in the cleo
ton of honest democrats to congress in
1910. The country should give Mr..
Taft democratic majority in the low
er branch. Then, by radically reducing
appropriations, tariff concessions can
be forced from an unwilling senate and
cOmplaisant president. Chicago Daily

WHITE WAS A DEGENERATE
ACCORDING TO LATEST EVIL
DENCE in THAW CASE.
Mrs. Thaw Takes the Stand In Her
Sons Behalf and Makes Good
Witness.

White Plains, N. Y. Aug. 6.-More
OF those stories which have stained
the memory of the eminent architect,
Stanford White, stories that paralleled
the tale of the Madison Square tower
room as told by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw,
were related at the Thaw sanity hear
ing. They were told first by witnesses
called in Thaw's behalf and then by
Thaw himself, who took the stand
hoping to show that what he knew
about White were not "delusions," as
the state commended, and that this
phase of the states attack on his san
ity is unfounded.
Between these unSavory accounts,
like a jewel up to view between soiled
fingers, came in illustration of mother
love and filial affection that brought
tears even to the eyes of those eager
faced women who had refused to leave
the courtroom when warned of the
kind of testimony that was to come.
This was the appearance on the stand
of Mrs. Mary Copyley Thaw, the pris-
oner's white-haired mother
Thaw Talks Eagerly.
1t was the. beginning of the aft
ernoon session that Thaw took the
stand. Then the New York district
attorney seemed anxious to let him
tell all he knew and he led him thru
one sorbid story after another, evil
IDENTIFY with the hope that the witness
palpable eagerness to talk on this
theme would show Justice Mills that
he was insane on the subject.
Mothers Appearances Pathetic.
The aged Mrs. Thaw's appearance on
the stand was pathetic. Before she
had spoken two minutes her feelings
overcame her and she paused. De-
spite her tears she insisted on "hav-
ing it over" Mrs. Thaw told why
her son dismissed Dolphin M. Delmas,
his chief counsel in the first case
Delmas was engaged mainly for the
summing up she said, and with that
his work was done.
Twice during her testimony Mrs.
Thaw seemed about to break down.
The first time Thaw left his chair by
his attorney and went to her side.
Several minutes later the mother was
obliged to stop and cover her face with
her fan.
Jerome did not cross-examine Mrs.
Thaw.

Taft Defends Himself.
President Taft gave out a state
ment embodying his views of the new
tariff act, which he designates off
cially as the Payne BILL" in accord
ance with past custom of giving first
recognition to the Trainer of the mea-
sure In the house of representatives.
Il have signed the Payne tariff be-
cause l believe 1t to be the result Of
sincere effort on the part of the Re-
publican party to make downward
revision. and to comply with the prom
Uses Of the platform as they have been
generally understood, and l interpre-
ted them in the campaign before cleo
ton
This is not a perfect tariff bill, or
a complete compliance with the prom
ises made strictly interpreted. but a
fulfillment free from criticism in re-
many schedules and thousands of arti-
cles, could not be expected. 1t suffices
to say that except with regard to
whisky. liquors and wines, and in re-
gard to silks and to some high classes
Of cottons-all of which may be treat
ed as Injuries aud proper subjects of
revenue tariff-there have been very
few increases in rates.
Many Real Decreases.
There have been great number
Of real decreases in rates, and they
constitute a sufficient amount to justi-
fly the statement that this bill Is a
substantial downward revision and a
reduction of excessive rates.
This is not free trade BILL It
was not intended to be. The Repub-
lican party did not promise to make a
free trade bill.
1T promised to make the rates pro-
tective, but to reduce them when they
exceeded the difference between the
cost of production abroad and here,
making allowances for the greater nor
NAL profit on active investments here.
l believe that while this excess has
not been reduced in number of cas-
es, in great majority the rates are
such as are necessary to protect Am
erican industries, but are low enough,
in case of abnormal increase of de.
mand, and raising in prices, to per.
init the possibility Of the importation
of the foreign article and thus to pre-.
vent excessive prices.
