Everybody knew that the World
Herald would find some way to take
back all it had said favorable to Prof
Crabtree and to call upon the voters
to turn him down in favor Of the dem
ocratie nominee for state superin-
tendent, but most OF us thought #
would do a better job. 1t wanted Mr.
Crabtree retained at the head OF the
Peru Normal as a tribute TO his eff
cheney and a rebuke to partisanship.
and now it wants him rejected for
state superintendent because he is NOT
enough OF a nonpartisan. The real
explanation, however, is the old one
that the World-Herald, while always
ready to praise republicans making
trouble within their own party, is mot
in the habit Of supporting republicans
for oface." no matter how incompe-
tent or disreputable opposing demo
cratic candidates may be.

FOR RAILROAD SAFETY.
Agreement for Uniformity in safety
Appliances.


Agreement for Uniformity in safety
Appliances.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Following the enactment at the last SEES
sion OF congress OF laws giving the Inter
state Commerce commission ampler powers
to define the needed safety appliances for
the prevention of accidents 20 employees
and passengers. and. after a hearing to
require their adoption. the commission ap-
pointed a committee OF fifteen, equally dl-
Wded between representatives OF the rail-
roads, the railroad operatives and safety
appliance inspectors OF the commission 10
recommend standard appliances. News
from Washington reports the agreement o.
this committee upon definite standards an
agreement that happily was unanimous, al
though there had been, as naturally would
be surmised radical differences OF opin. on
and judgment before satisfactory conces
sionB were reached.
How these differences Of opinion, even
among the railroad companies themselves
INSTRUCTED the adoption Of the automatic
coupler Is a familiar story and the adop-
ton by unanimous agreement Of set stand
ards for these other appliances is the more
welcome. The Recommendations formulated
deal chiefly with the equipment OF cara
with secure sin steps, effective hand
brakes. and. where necessary. ladders and
running boards with proper hand holds or
grab irons. The agreement will, OF course,
apply only 20 new equipment, but with this
basis II will be the purpose OF the commits
SION to determine later what must be done
TO make existing equipment equally safe.
The decision means a great deal as a step
TOWARD the reduction. II not ultimate
elimination. Of the heavy loss OF life among
railroad operatives owing TO the absence
OF such safety Appliances

SECURING FARM ICE SUPPLY
Frozen Chunks as Workable as Wood
and Can Easily Be Cut Into
Any Size Desired.

Ice is as workable as wood. so can
be either split or sawed into desir-
able sections for handling and stor-
ing. Commercial ice making is gener-
ally carried on with an eye single to
rapidity rather than accuracy in cake
dimensions. so the ice plow is used
and the cakes split of, thus leaving
the under side of each cake irregular,
making close storage impossible The
slower and better process for the
farmer is the ice saw. or. in lieu of
this, the common cross-cut saw, which
is found on nearly all farms, writes Il.
l.. Keasey, in Orange Judd Farmer.
Lake or pond ice has the preference
over river ice. due to the fact that
there is no current beneath Pond

KILLED BY "BLACK HAND"
Clothing Merchant Is Murdered for
Failure to Comply with Demands
for Money.

Chicago. Jan. 7.-Benedetto Senena,
60 years old, an Italian, owner of a
clothing store at 500 West Oak street
was shot twice. once through the
heart and once in the left hip, and in.
stantly killed in mysterious circum.
stances as he lay asleep in a rear room
of his store. The murder was commit.
ted by three men and is believed to be
the outcome of Senena's failure to
comply with demand for $1,000 con.
tanned in four letters signed "The
Black Hand" which he received
through the mail over a year ago.
The assailants fed from the store
and escaped. Detectives began a
search in the North side Italian colony
for the guilty men. Of whom there
were three, though only two partici-
pated in the actual shooting.
Mrs. Rose Senena 81 years old, wife
of the slain man, had opened the cloth.

near the stove when three men rushed
into the place. Two had revolvers

crouched beneath 1t. The three men
then rushed into the rear room, where

Order Of Dismissal Comes After All.

Says Deposed officer Had De.
stroyed His Usefulness.

Washington, Jan. 8-Gifford Pin
chot chief forester of the United
States, was discharged from the serv-
ice by Secretary Wilson of the agri-
cultural department. The dismissal
was at the order of President Taft,
after an all-day session of the cabinet
on the subject of Mr.. Pinchots letter
read in the senate by Senator Dolli-
YER.
Technically the dismissal is for vio-
Iation of executive order 1142, issued
November 26. 1909, by President Taft
forbidding subordinates in depart
ments to communicate directly with
congress.
Affair Far Reaching.
But the president realizes that the
affair has assumed much greater i'm
portance than discipline of a govern
ment employe. Pinchots letter was
the defiance of the Roosevelt or
Back from Elba" adherents. and Mr..
Taft was loath to start a fight that is
destined, he believes, perhaps to make
the next house Democratic and TO en-.
hhhbNl Ni' DltothN dliOI AT
the next election. That is why he has
been lenient and dilatory in spite OF
the aggression of Pinchot and his re.
gret was expressed in these final
paragraphs of his letter:
II should be glad to regard what
has happened only as a personal re
ffection, so that could pass It over
and take no official cognizance of IT,
But other and higher considerations
must govern me. When the people
Of the United States elected me pres.
ident they placed me in an office OF
the highest dignity and charged me
with the duty Of maintaining that due
and proper respect for the office on
the part of my subordlnates More.
over. If | were to pass over this mat
ter in silence, II would be most de.
moralizing to the discipline of the
executive branch of the government.
Usefulness Is Destroyed
BY your own conduct you have de
stroyed your usefulness as helpful
subordinate of the government and II
therefore now becomes my duty. to
direct the secretary of agriculture to
remove you from your Office as the
forester. Very sincerely yours,
