TRYING 10 FIND A GOAT"

n NE of the local newspapers which has no
~ love for Mr. Handy tries to make him the
goat in the Ferris School investigation matter
and intmates that he called the attention of the
trustees of the school to the charges OF alleged
i-treatment of the boys with the hope of adj
vancing his political interests.
We see no reason why any one should be put
in the role of the sgoat,' and we don't believe
that Mr.. Handy had any idea that his political
fortunes would be helped or hurt by any action
he might take. 1t has become a regular thing
for the Democratic State Convention to nomi-
nate Mr.. Handy for some office and we presume
that this practice will be kept up until MIR.
Handy departs or the party decides that there
is chance OF eecting the ticket So therefore,
we do not sec how his political fortunes are con-
cerned.
Another criticism is that Mr. Handy should
have whispered what he knew to the trustees in-
stead OF bawling his information from the top
of the Ford Building. But it will be recall
ed that Judge Cochran in the City Court crit
cised the school and there were plenty OF
whispers heard, but the trustees were not very
keen in starting the inquiry. Probably Mr.
Handy thought that the only way TO an
investigation was to make the outcry that he
did.
Those who know something of the life of Mr..
Handy have difficulty in arriving at a rea-
son why he interested himself in the matter. Mr.
Handy in early life school teacher-a good
one-and had considerable experience in train
ing boys When he heard of the practices at the
school his sympathes were aroused because the
methods Of correcting boys was so different from
the manner in which he had treated refractory
Youngsters. The practices at the school, seem
ed cruel to him, and he therefore took up the
subject. We cannot imagine any other reason
syhy Mr.. Handy should have called attention to
the school He certainly didn't need an inves-
tgation like this TO bring himself before the
public because Mr.. Handy possesses sufficient
lung power 10 make loud noise and cause folks
TO bend their cars whenever he feels like do

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
Vigil Of Love That Killed a
Great Scientist
BY "HoII,ud."

Two years ago in December, the
cable brought the news TO this coun-
try, where he was widely known and
loved, that Lord Kelvin, the great Brit
ish physicist, had died after a brief
illness. A day or so later the cabled
accounts Of mis- funeral told that the
only flowers on his casl1et at the fu-
neral was a wreath from Lady Kel-
win. How Lord Kelyins great love
for his wife really led to his death is
here told for the first time, and the
story is youched for by Mr.. George
Westinghouse of Pittsburg, who was
one of Lord Kelvin's most intimate
friends.
when Lady Kelvin accompanied
Lord Kelvin to America" said MIR.
Westinghouse. everybody who met
the two we're invariably impressed
with their deep devotion to each 9TH
er. It was easily apparent that Lady
Kelvin was not only a sharer in her
husbands interests in mechanics,
physics, industrial development, and
all science, in fact-of which he was
In so great degree a master-but also
that their domestic relations we're
Ideal, she constantly looking to his
comfort and ministering to him, and
he responding with gentle carresses.
During Lord Kelvin's last visit to
this country, his friends here learned
that he was deeply solicitious regard
ing the state of Lady Kelvin's health.
Some time after his return to Eng
land, word was received that Lady
Kelvin had, in fact, become a hope
less invalid. Then came the report
that Lord Kelvin himself was serious
ly Ill. and within a week or two the
announcement Of his death followed.
1T was his solicitude for the com
fort Of his invalid wife-his helpmeet
of a life time-that really killed him.
Though he was a man of advanced
years, and had need to husband his
strength, from the day that Lady Kel-
win became an invalid he was in con-
stant attendance upon her. He could
scarcely be prevailed upon to leave
her for a few minutes, even; he
seemed to feel that that time was
wasted which he could not devote to
the care of his wife. He was con.
vinced that her illness was mortal
and to those who endeavored to per.
suade him to rest now and then. he re.
piled that during the time left to him
and to Lady Kelvin to be together. he
felt that he ought to give her his con
slant attention. And so. hour after
hour, he sat by his wife's bedside
holding her hand and talking with
her.
At last there happened what Lord
Kelvin's friends had feared all alone
the strain of his constant vigil OF
love broke him down completely. ano
having no surplus vitality to rely upor
for recuperation, he passed away.
To-day Lady Kelvin fingers on, ;

to deprive corrupt city councils Of the
power to make political capital out OF

ashamed, by placing the authority to
grant licenses beyond the reach of such
miserable city councils, and thus re-
moving the saloon from politics. The
situation in Utah seems to require some
such drastic measure. Before the saloon
rule is abolished there is little chance
of the prevalence of popular rule.
