A GREAT JOURNALIST

Goldwin Smith was a most wonder
full journalist, says the Westminster
Gazette. 1t is nearly fifty years since
he took part in founding the Saturday
Review, to which he was the most
brilliant contributor. When in the
eighties his pen was still busy, and
his style was as trenchant, brilliant,
and easy as it ever was. He did not
seem to care where he wrote or wheth-
er he got an audience or not. For
years he was satisfied to publish his
thoughts in a magazine, first month
ly, and then quarterly, the whole of
which he wrote himself. In recent
years he contributed weekly to pap
er called the Weekly Sun, published
at Toronto.

Montpelier, VT, July 21-The inter-
est of the nation will be centered on
Vermont early in September, at which
time the state election will be held. 1t
will be the first state election of the
year and consequently the results will
be closely analyzed as affording test
of the relative strength of the two
leading parties in the general con-
gressional elections to follow two
months later. The Democrats already
are making strenuous exertions with
view to cutting down the lead of the
Republican candidates for Congress.

AUTO
Gospel Wagon To Be A New

ingS This Year
ALI | 0

There will be a new attraction at
the Camp Sychar meetings in this
city on August 5-15 this year. This at
traction will be an auto gospel from
Cincinnati with about fifteen workers,
including preachers, soloists and cor
netists. This is probably the only
auto in the world especially built for
religious services and formally dedi-
Gated to that work.
Miss Millie Lawhead, who has
charge of the auto service in and
about Cincinnati, will superintend the
auto service here. Surely this body of

NEGRO CHAUFFEUR JAILED
AS SUSPECT IN RAWN CASE
He Is Alleged To Have Threatened
Life Of Railroad President, Who
Was Shot In Home.

CHICAGO, July 23.-Ernest Holt
man, a Negro chauffeur, formerly en-
ployed by Ira G. Rawn, was arrested
here late yesterday as a suspect in
connection with the railroad presi-
dents death. Hoffman was discharged
in December last, and as late as last
May is declared to have threatened
Mr.. Rawn's life.
Although too i'll to attend her hus-
bands funeral, Mrs. Ira G. Rawn late
today made a detailed statement TO a
stenographer of the shooting OF Mr..
Rawn at his summer home In Winnet'
ka early last Wednesday morning.
In a general way, this statement
bears out the story OF the death OF
Mr.. Rawn as told by the dead mans
son-in-law, r. G. Coburn. Mrs. Rawn
says she and her husband were awak.
ened by a noise on the first floor OF
the house, that Mr.. Rawn picked up
his revolver and started downstairs.
Then, says Mrs. Rawn, she heard a
noise OF some sort, apparently on the
stairway, and shot or shots.
The police, however, have seized on
three points in Mrs. Rawn's statement
that they consider of Importance Ia
connection with the investigation of
the mysterious death.
The first is the declaration by Mrs.
Rawn that she is certain OF having
heard but one shot; the second is her
assertion that Mr.. Coburn, her SON
in-law, preceded her downstairs and
that he had turned on the lights be-
fore she reached her husbands body,
and the third Is the statement that
Mr.. Rawn was found lying squarely on
his back.
The police say these three points
support their statement that Mr.. Rawn
killed himself. Friends of the Rawn
family insist that Mrs. Rawn's descrip-
ton OF what occurred Wednesday
morning is further evidence that Mr..
Rawn was murdered

COUNCIL GROVE, Kan, July 23.--
! Senator Albert B. Cummins, of Iowa
in speech before ChautauQus
audience here last night asserted thai
the pledge of the Republican nationa

and never intended to keep the
pledges OF the party.
Senator Cummins came into the

congressmen-Rep. James NJ. Miller
TO give this message. The senator was
cheered when he started his speech.
Cannon and Aldrich, he declared
and other stand-pat leaders were drfv
ing the nation into socialism, or CO
operative control and away from the
individual or competitive theory.
II am an exponent of the progress

lieve that the Republican party can be
made the most progressive party or
