Attack of Suicidal Mania.

When Sims, who had been under treat.
ment for nervousness, called at the Of
flee of the physician and was ushered
into the reception room there was moth
ing abnormal about his appearance and
conduct. When he left the reception
room and entered the Office to consult the
physician, however, he became violent.
Taking from his pocket farewell note
he had written his wife, the envelope also
containing so bill, he threw it upon
the table.
Following this unusual conduct, Sims
pulled at his hair, beat himself about
his body and tore off his clothing from
his waist up. He drew from his pocket
loaded revolver and proceeded to make
an effort to take his life. But DR.. Young
was too quick for him, and with the as
sistance Of two other men he soon sue
ceeded in disarming the apparently in
sane man.
AS soon as Sims had been disarmed the
physician telephoned to the police Of the
second precinct for assistance. The auto
patrol wagon was hurried to the N street
address, and in few moments Sims was
on his way to the hospital. He was
quoted by the physicians at the hos
pital, and this morning his condition was

The Tariff.

Regarding the tariff the platform said:
We denounce the republican party in
the nation for its gross and Willful be-
travail OF the trust reposed in 1t by the
people and point out that the declared
and expressed promise to revise the tariff
downward. upon which the republicans
obtained office. has been wiilfully dlsre-
garded and ignored.
The Payne-Aldrich tariff law. pro-
nounced by President Taft to be the best
tariff that the republican party ever
passed. was a fragrant breach OF faith
by the republican party. The bill even
increased the eXactions of former republic
can tariffs and has placed great additional
burdens upon the shoulders of the average
man. thereby largely contributing to the
present high cost of living, d cost out of
all proportion to the earning capacity OF
the great mass of the people.
We declare our belief that only by
an honest revision downward of the tariff.
with proper regard for the welfare of
the American workinSman. a reform
which will be effected only by the demo-
cratic party, can this excessive cost of
living be lessened and the necessaries of
life again be brought within the reasona-
BILE reach of the people of the country. The
time has come when special privileges to
favored classes should be abolished.

Public School Notes.

Attention of parents is called to a
new book in the public library by Jane
Adams, for twenty years at the head
of Hull House" social settlement
in Chicago. The title of the book is
"The Spirit of Youth and the City
Streets" While it seems to have been
written with Chicago in mind, a great
deal of it applies to any city, and those
who are interested in the welfare of
the children and young people may
profit by careful reading of this plain
and straightforward statement of pres
ent conditions. The purpose of the
book is, That it may prove of value
to those groups of people who in many
cities are making a gallant effort to
minimize the dangers which surround
the young people and to provide them
with opportunities for recreation.
Another quotation viii help to an un.
derstanding of the purpose of the
book: 'By all means let US preserve
the safety of the home, but let us alsC
make safe the street in which the
majority of our young people find then

on Easter Sunday, and to say that it

Father Weyer delivered two very elo-

in English. The Sisters decorated the

and the sight was one Of grandeur.
Many were the words Of praise from

THOMAS A LEADER.

Fate plays strange tricks with the
best regulated political organiza'
tions. The state senator, who fail
ed to align himself with the "regu'
lars" at Frankfort was considered
outside party consideration, and Sen
ator Thomas of Bourbon county
banker and lawyer, student and trav-
eler, was one OF these. Perfectly
harmless, because he had no pull
with the organization, and lacking
Influence, they thought, for the same
reason, he has suddenly sprung into
the limelight. by boldly opposing the
revolutionary methods of the desper-
ate lobby to railroad the Louisville
ripper bill through the senate, and
his words: II am Democrat; but l
don't have to do Il. Praise God, and
/ won't do IL either" may well be-
come the battle cry of those inde-
pendent Democrats, whose manhood
revolts at being subjected to the
domination of the Louisville ring.
And we assure the gentlemen COM
posing that ring, that there are
thousands OF independent voters In
the state, who are looking for a
leader and a battle cry.
