It is pity that some such law

After the assassination of President
Mckinley 1t may be recalled that an
endeavor was made to secure the en-
actment Of national law providing
death for the attempt upon the life Of
any chief magistrate of the United
States. The measure failed to secure
enactment on the plea that the at
tempted assassination of the president
was no more serious than murder
Gus attack upon an ordinary citizen.
But an attempt upon the life of the
president is crime not against an
individual but against the nation, and
should be punished as such by special
national law just as the counterfeit
ing of money, postal frauds, and
smuggling.
The law should be extended to safe
guard in similar fashion the mem
bers of the cabinet and the officials
of the federal government and in the
same way each state should take steps

with this Conference an exhibition or
and inventions designed TO
the condition of animals.
This will involve the subject of hu-

horses, the transportation of live
stock, and hundreds of little-known
devices which have been produced for
the benefit of our animal friends.

mary announcement of the meeting.
This will be sent to any person who
may apply for the same by address

POLITICS BECOME WARM
IN VILLAGE OF lAURIUM
Friends of Joseph Wills Urging
Him to Enter Race for
the Presidency.
MANY SEEK IREASURERSHIP

Village politics i'm Laurium are
nearly at the boiling point. During
the last few days several aspirants
for office announced their candidates..
Probably the most important is the
announcement by friends of Joseph
Wills of Laurium ex-sheriff, that he
will be a candidate for the office OF
president of the village, now held by
William j. Reynolds, who has an
nounced himself for reelection.
When asked concerning the state
ment, Mr.. Wills stated that he had
been urged to run, but that as yet he
was undecided. IF the people Of
Laurium want me for their presl-
dent, l will accept the Office" said
Mr.. Wills. but / will not act until
convinced that l am wanted" Mr.
Wills seemingly is in the nature of
receptive candidate.
Another rumor current this morn
ing was to the effect that Harry
Hermann would be n candidate for
the position OF president, and that n
three cornered fight was promised.
Mr.. Hermann when approached by The
News was most emphatic in the
statement that he would not allow
his name to come before the electors
for the office. stating that he is per-
fectly satisfied with the present add
ministration.
Two candidates have appeared i'm
the field for the office of village
assessor, Bert Bray and Peter Braun.
Both have held the office during pre-
vious terms, and believe they are
again entitled to it. Should no other
come forward one of these
two men will surely fiji the office for
a second term.
There are no less than eight avow-
ed candidates i'm the field for the Of
flee of village treasurer to succeed
Frank Baggiore. They are John T.
Rowe, Fred J. Sherman, Frank To-
Matt Gipp. ST., Mike Jaerling,
William Was and William Lahore
All are long residents of the village
and will find much support at the eau
Gus and polls.
The retiring councilmon are NJ. z.
O'Brien, w. r. Vivian and James Tor
reano. AS yet only one candidate has |
been mentioned to contest for one of |
these seats. He is John MacLean an |
Mr.. MacLean is as
yet undecided as TO whether ne will |
make the run or not but Is being |
urged to do so by several of his :
friends.

TRAGEDY OF WoMANHooD.
Helpless Women Who Never Have
Learned Self Support.


Tragedy? / think the tragedy oi
womanhood Is the number of women
who don't know how to put food into
their mouths, and haven't anybody tC
put IT there for them. The most help
less, hopeless creature on earth is q
middle-aged woman who has lived all
her life i'm affluence. has lost her mon
ey and has never earned dollar in
her life.
"She Is a great deal more helpless
than a working girl. No matter how
Ill paid the work is or how scarce the
jobs, the working girl can do the work
If she can get It TO do. But the wom-
an who has seen better days can't.
Are women crazy. l wonder, that
they don't learn to take care of money
and fathers think they do enough for
their women folks when they leave
them money without elementary train,
ing in looking after it?
/. "a father would think he had COM
mitted a crime If he brought up a son
without the faintest idea of how to
make a living or how to look after
property that was left to him. Yet
ninety-nine fathers out of 100 in the
propertied classes will do exactly that
with their daughters.
"Girls in wel-to-do families get ex-
pensive Quotations and are left with.
out particle Of practical training IN
looking after the money they are go
ing to have. The girls have brains
enough to learn how to look after their
property too, If it were the custom for
them to do it. | consider it a crime
for parents to bring their daughters
up without knowing some trade, pro-
fession or business.
"If you could see the helpless train
Of we'll born, well-bred. penniless
women who have passed through this
house. and If you could know the
amount Of semi starvation that is GO
ing on among such women all the time
in New York, you would think so too;
and think husbands and wives should
be partners in their happiness, as they
are in France, so that If the husband
dies the wife can carry 1t on.
II think the wife that lives for years
without acquiring the slightest insight
into her husbands business is a fool;
and / think the husband and father
who does not insist on his wife getting
some such insight is just as culpable
as though he made no effort to leave
his family provided for in case OF his
death"-A New York Charity Worker

the Wallace II. Hopkins brokerage Of

who was indicted with Hopkins in
the United States court for Illinois
two years ago, has been honorably

the Hopkins fraud. This action was
taken on motion of Assistant United
States District Attorney Robert w.
Childs. Mr.. Childs informed Judge
lands that there was no evidence to
support the allegations against Mr..
Delahunt. on the contrary, Mr..
Childs said the evidence taken at the
Delahunt had done everything in his
power To keep the affairs of the
Hopkins corporation straight and
square. In no instance, Mr.. Childs in
formed the court, was Mr.. Delahunt
party to the frauds for which Hopkins
was found guilty. The evidence, fur
thermore, disclosed the fact that the
transactions which led 10 Hopkins
trial and conviction were in every in
stance carried through during Mr..
Delahunt's absence from Chicago and
particularly while Mr.. Delahunt was
confined in a Milwaukee hospital re-
covering from n serious operation.

will go to Dollar Bay where they will
play the last game of the season i'm the
interscholastic pennant race.
Although Calumet is behind in hook
ey this year il has a peerless basket

of Lake Linden by the locals last
week, Calumet again forged TO the
front. The Calumet and L'Anse fives
may play game on neutral floor be-
fore the race is over. such a game
most likely would be played at Hough-
ton.
Some changes have been made in |
the local team because OF the absence /
Of LAYERS and McClelland. Capt Phil |
lips however, claims that the team is /
not weakened and gives the following /
as the probable lineup: Phillips. CEN
ter; James. guard; Weir. guard; Fri

Gals will play the Lake Linden highs /
in Calumet during the week of Feb. %.
and will close the season with the
Hancock five on the latter's floor dur

Hopkins Meteoric Career.
Wallace II. Hopkins had n meteoric
career as a frenzied fnancier. Begin
ming in a small way as a mining bro
ker he worked up large business and
at the time the United States gov
eminent began investigating his trans
actions he had branch offices in
nearly all the large cities of the
northwest That was in 1907. When
the crash came Hopkins fed and
was not apprehended for several
after his indictment. Hopkins
was found guilty a few months ago
and sentenced to four and one-half
years in the federal prison at Leaven
worth, Kas.
one of the frauds charged against
was that he represented in
his advertising that he controlled OPP
tons on valuable lead and zinc mines
in Wisconsin. When these adver-
tisements were investigated Mr..
Delahunt was Intercepted and he
said that he never heard Of such OPP
tons and did not believe that they
we're in existence. Mr.. Delehunt was
an employee of the Hopkins corpora

STATE CANNOT OPEN EXTRA
EMPLOYMENT BUREAUS

Nearly 100 letters from farmers and
upper peninsula. asking for state free
employment bureaus in their clties OF
the cities nearest Their. have been re-
ceived by the state labor commission
or during the past month.
Although warmly I'm favor OF having
a state bureau established i'm every city
OF Michigan where the population is
over 10000. the state commission says
that there Is no probability of more
than six offices being opened during
the next two years. In order to main
tain the six proposed bureaus the de-
partment has discovered that ii will
take nearer $4,000 annually than SlO,-
600 and the state legislature will be
requested to appropriate the larger
amount
An abstract from a letter written
TO the department by a Detroit manu-
facturer reads: Before the state free
employment bureaus were established
our concern accepted about one out OF
ten applicants. About so per cent Of
the people accepted were found inef-
helent and admitted that they had in
formed the bureau Of their inability To
perform the work eX-
pected of them. During the last year
we secured our help wholly from the
state bureau. We turned down about
a dozen applications out of perhaps a
hundred and were only forced TO dis
charge two men for inefficiency."
