STANLEY kETCHEL
MYSTER|0USLY SHOT

Springfield, Mo.-Stanley Ketchel,
champion middleweight pugiliet of the
world, died as the result of a wound
by bullet fired from a rifle in the
hands of Walter A. Hurtz, a laborer
on the ranch of R. P. Dickerson, mil
lionaire ranchman and sportsman,
near Conway, Mo.
Hurtz was later captured at the
home of Thomas Haggard, one mile
from Niangua, Mo-, and was taken to
the Webster County Jail at Marsh
field, where he is being guarded.
After being placed in his cell the
prisoner made confession in which
he declared he shot Ketchel in self
defense. He said he ordered the
prizefghter to throw up his hands and
fred when Ketchel refused to obey.
Conscious until near the end, Ket III
ell refused to make any statement re
garding the shooting.
The part played by the woman in
the case, Fannie Hurtz, who claims
Ketchel's murderer as her husband
is not clear. From statements made
by officers at Conway, it is believed
she is suspected of Turing Ketchel tc

Mr.. Taft broke out again, not in new
place, but on what is becoming his perennial
theme-defense of the tariff.
TAFTs His New York speech was
AN AWFUL greeted with laughter when
CIRCULATION he attempted to hold up the
TO THE Payne-Aldrich humbug as a
PARTY. fulfllment of the pledge for
downward division'. It is a
hopeful sign, perhaps-this laughter. Mr..
Taft, grinning and grimacing, has had the
stage too long, and Mr. Taft, laughed at,
thoroughly exposed to the ridicule he de-
serves, is an appropriate turning of the ia
bles If "the Party" really wants to cement
the split and get itself in harmonious trim
by next fall, it should gag the President, or
confne him to his favorite amusement of
waltzing upon the waxed floor Socially, the
or even politician with thimbleful of dis
cretion, he is evidently impossible.
From the same speech, it is gathered that
he is dropping his insistence upon Federal
incorporation bill, and settling down to ask
ing for what it is possible he may manage to
obtain, before the session adjourns,- the Pos
tai Savings Bank bill, with perhaps some
tinkering toward conservation of resources
and the interstate commerce court. It is i'm
probable however, that anything will be &C
tually accomplished. Too many Representa-
tives and Senators must be elected this year
for the present ncumbents to risk their
chances of reelection by getting unduly busy.
Their constituents must be pacifed, and as
few interests as possible antagonlzed. 1t will
be case Of "get it over as quickly as posi-
BILE" and rush back home to explain to ''the
boys that Cannon's gag-rules prevented the
Hon. NJ. G. from doing anything for his dis
trict, but that if "the boys" will only re-elect
him, THEN, things will be doing! And 'the
boys" will stop blowing long enough, doubt
less, to be convinced by the plausible NJ c.
maybe. But it is safe gamble that only the
insurgent will have a smooth and easy time
chatting with the home-folks.
Speaking of records, how is Brantley going
to get his sufficiently disinfected and rejuve-
mated to pass muster? There is going to be
a strong fight against him, and already one
good candidate,-Jett Bowden, of Waycross
has announced for the race.

Kentucky and South Carolina are in the
column of States ratifying the Income Tax
amendment. Governor
THE PROG Hughes, of New York, has

intellectual skill as a law
yer, but not very creditabIe to his preten-
sions to popular leadership. IF he can man
age to swing New York against it-some-
thing that will be very easy to do, since it
could hardly be hoped that any Of the East
ern States would ratify-it will not count in
his favor in 1912. Governor Hughes may be
an honest man, but his extreme narrowness
becomes continually more apparent. Senator
Root, singular to relate, has taken another
reef in his sails and proposes to support the
amendment. The "deadly parallel" drawn
upon him when the bill was undergoing de-
bate showed that he favored the measure in
the earlier days, when there was no proba-
bility of it's ever slipping through Congress-
and that when it was about to accomplish
that remarkable slide, he battled against it.

Of these "nice respectable" men, you know
the smooth, sleek sort who would probably
be Mortified if he thought he had forgotten
to pay bill, or hadn't contributed his quota
in the way of various subscriptions to church
and charity, and yet there appears to be no
shadow Of doubt but that IN competition be-
tween bridge-builders for contracts, he de-
manded the coin-and got it, as Senatorial
perquislte.
The bridge companies we're simply held up
-blaclzmailed. And, having to bribe legis-
lators in order to stand any show to get
contract, what result could that have upon
the KIND of work they did, and the MA
TERLALS they used?
Defective bridges are nice things, aren't
they? It is a reassuring thought to know
that the train upon which helpless human be-
ings are riding must pass over bridge after
bridge that is an absolute menace by it's
frall construction, by its cheap material. In
the last lysis, the rottenness in legislatures
is paid for in human lives, unnecessarily
wiped out, human usefulness wantoply de-
stroyed and human happiness turned to wall
ing and despair.
But you never get the smooth, slack prac-
tical politician Of the Aldrich type to see it.
They are always the conservative, safe and
sound gentlemen who are the quickest to

Nausea supervenes when one speaks of this
regiment of vile blacks, but the present in
stance cannot be passed unnoticed Those
brutes, degrading the uniform of United
States soldiers, went to the lonely, unpro-
tected little border town of Brownsville, with
the avowed intention not only of intimi-
dating its inhabitants, generally, but to 'get
the women. Evidently, they are still at the
pursuit, considering the assault upon the
venerable lady near Seattle where the regi-
ment, allowed to re-enlist, is now stationed.
And yet there are still frantic negrophiles
who care more for the filthy beasts than they
do for the lives and honor of helpless, limo

that he cannot long steer the ship of state, in
