Soothing Syrups Dangerous.

Mr.. Clarence H. Poe, editor Of The
Progressive Farmer, Raleigh, N. c..
who is to take part in the delibera-
tions Of the South Carolina Press as
sociation next week, is real friend
of the people who read his paper, and
of their children, as well. 1t Is no
ticeable that Mr.. Poe's paper contains
no advertisements Of the numerous
patent medicines" which fill too
many of the columns Of papers read
by country people.
In the current issue Of The Progress
sive Farmer, the editor Of the home
page" gives this advice to mothers:
"Avoid soothing syrups and sooth-
ing teas Keep in mind that So
called soothing syrups advertised as
harmless all contain morphine. opium,
cocaine or other harmful drugs In
dangerous quantities"
This statement is borne out by the
investigations made by the depart
ment OF agriculture, reports Of which
are contained in a bulletin entitled
Habit Forming Drugs" No doubt the
statement is based on the informa-
ton contained in that bulletin. 1t Is
terrible commentary upon the de-
pravity of some modern business con-
Germs, as pointed out by the secretary
of agriculture. that will deliberately
concOct and advertise to the world as
harmless" drugs that carry away
yearly numbers of children, sacrifices
upon the altar Of ignorance on the
part of the mothers and the altar Of
greed on the part Of the patent med
icine manufacturers

"have you heard the news? There

people hurt; Jim Benson Killed.
Poor old Jim," echoed the crowd.
Nearly all the men on the road knew

1T was lucky that l did, for the

the car sailed safely to the top of the
pile, taking the rods with It, and when
everything was quiet, I was sitting
on top of the car-which lay bottom

and knowing that his only chance lay
in feigning dcath-for the slightest
movement would have drawn Kents
fire on him again-he awaited his
chance of a decisive shot at the out
law. His bullet. however. did not
bring JEFF Kent down, for he took n
flying leap into the darkness and dis
appeared. Perry was on his feet in
an instant, but very wisely decided
not to follow up his man, knowing
quite well that it would have been
absolutely foOlhardy to risk running
into an ambush in the blackness of
the night. Moreover. as he grimly
declared. he knew that Kent was too
badly hit to go far. We then turned
our attention to the unfortunate dep
uty. who was lying unconscious on the
floor. We did all we could for him,
but his case was hopeless from the
first, and he expired in few hours
Early the next morning Jeff Kent
was discovered lying in the house of
a friend of his close by. He was dy-
ing. 1t appears that he had rushed
in and collapsed Immediately after he
got inside the door, gasping out as he
did so, I've killed the sheriff; I'm
sorry for the other one, but I was
forced to do it,"
He was told later on that the dep
uty was dead, but that Perry was
alive and unhurt, and this so en-
ragged him that, although he was sink
ing fast. he made a desperate effort
to get out of bed and go after the
sheriff, but fell back exhausted and
died soon after. And that was the
end Of Jeff Kent, plucky fellow gone

VALUABLE MAP IS
TAKEN By SUAVE
YOUNG ATHLETE
Bogus Check and Insurance
Policy Receipt Are Left as
Security for Document.

United States Commissioner S.
Howell Jones Is mourning the loss of
a map of Newark which he had reas-
ured for a number of years. It's just
ten days ago that a well-dressed, ath-
letic-looking young man walked into
the commissioners office on the fifth
fioor of the Globe building and carried
the map away. He introduced himself
as Charles S. Norton, son of Daniel f.
Norton, of AT Market street, Philadel-
phia. He told h commissioner that
he was representing a Western beef
company and was eager to secure a site
in this city for a large slaughter house.
Norton left a receipt for a life in
surance policy on the life of l.. II.
Smith for $4,000 as a pledge for the
return of the map. The amount of the
premium was $3.50. 1t was in the
Equitable Life Assurance Society OF
the United States and was signed by
L. Casper, the general agent of the
New York Office.
Commissioners Jones concluded today
to communicate with Mr.. Casper and
was told over the phone that the check
of $3.50 for the payment of the premium
on the insurance policy was a bogus
one on a printed check of the SECOND
National Bank Of Chicago. Mr.. Casper
declared hat there was no such bank
In the Windy City.
Another Victim Reported.
The amount was paid October 6 last
Mr.. Casper told Commissioners Jones
that the man fieeced a friend of his
connected with the Northwestern Life
Of $45.
'IIe looked like the second basemar
of a college nine to me-" said the
commissioner. HE talked in a way
that kept me guessing. He said they
wanted the site right ava as they
had a contract with the government
and would slaughter 1000 head of cat
tie a day"
The commissioner mailed the receipt
to MFR. Casper this afternoon. In re-
spouse to a letter he forwarded to
Philadelphia the commissioner re-
ceived word that no such person as
Daniel F. Norton, the strangers sup
posed father. lived there.

CREDIT MEN HEAR
DIRECTOR OF THE
NATIONAL SOCIETY
Howard Marshall Addresses
Meeting of State 0rganiza-
tiOn Following Luncheon.

The Credit Mems Association gave
their monthly luncheon at the Hotel
Broad today and about 100 of the
members were present. Frederick G.
Crane, chairman of the arrangement
committee for the luncheon, at tho
close Of the repast introduced How
ard Marshall, president &C the New
Jersey State Commuters League, 'and
director of the National Association of
Credit Men. Mr.. Marshall gave a
brief talk on individual Response
bility."
Mr.. Marshall wanted all to under
stand in the beginning of his talk that
his was not q political speech and that
said speech was not made in the sup
port of either Woodrow Wilson or
Vivian M. Lewis, the Democratic and
Republican candidates for Governor.
The speaker stated hat about four
months ago an increase from 20 to 40
per cent. was made in the railroad
rates.
AS there are at present no airships to
carry the commuter to his destination.
Mr.. Marshall declared, the increase was
thought to be unjust. 1t was shown
that when the railroad rates were made
forty years ago, a god profit was made
by the transportation companies and
the residents of New Jersey were salts
fed, also.
Railroad Incomes Growing.
Mr.. Marshall declared that statistics
show tina the income of h railroads
is greater today than 1t ever was, and
the ems less. The speaker stated
that Governor Fort expressed himself
as being In favor of the suspension OF
increased rates until a full n fair
| Investigation could be made of the mat
ter by a competent body of men. The
| governor promised TO do all In MS
power to relieve the situation and
agreed that the Legislature should nave
| the power to state what the proper n
Just railroad rates should be. The gov
| ernor told him, Mr.. Marshall stated.
that he had been waiting for those men
who had been elected to he Legisla-
ture to come forward and declare
themselves as being in favor of COM
plying with commuters wishes, but
they remained silent.
The commuters have created a public
utilities bill which will cover the en-
tire situation. according to the speaker.
This bill was presented to the candi-
dates of both parties after the primary
election and a great many have de-
clared themselves as being in favor OF
it. Woodrow Wilson and Vivian M.
Lewis have both expressed themselves
in favor of the bill. Mr.. Marshall
stated. But other candidates have not
answered the questions put to them on
this subject. The Democratic candi-
dates nave come out in favor of the
bills. but the Republican ofice-seekers
have not satisfactorily answered the
question put to them by the Comnu-
ters' League, according to the speaker
Mr.. Marshall asked all present to help
In raising the $1,000 that will be re-
quired to enable the commuters to be
represented by expert lawyers then q
hearing is given on the subject, No
vember IA. II everyone does his part In
assisting to raise this fund and helping
along the cause of h Commuters

objections and gives to such reports a
definite public aspect and clothes them
with a distinct public interest. II the
objection of the companies are thus
answered 1t does not seem to lie with
the taxing officers to set up a right of
privacy that, IL 1t existed, does not
appertain to them.
Fasan's Right Amounts to Duty.
"As a member of the Hudson County
Board of Taxation the relator has a
right amounting to a public duty to
make himself acquainted with the con-
tents of these records of the State
Board of Assessors, as an aid that may
be indispensable to the proper and COM
piete administration of his public office.
AS a citizen and a taxpayer he has
that abiding interest In the admins
%tration of his government and OF every
department of it that affects him or his
fellows that marks the difference be-
tween a citizen and a subject.
1T Is to the failure of the citizen to
assert these rights that we must look
for those evils that are incident to our
form of government rather h to a
superabundant zeal in this respect.
1t would be unfortunate in the extreme
for the courts of a republic to erect
technical barriers by which these duties
of citizenship were discouraged or
denied; and no more effectual barrier
could be set UP than the rule that
records required by public law for the
performance of their public duties by
public servants are possessed of a
privacy in which the mere citizen, how
ever patriotic his purposes. may not in
quire."
