Would Mean Big Saving.

Prom the Treasury Department point
of view, the proposed reduction would re-
suit i'm an estimated saving to the gov
ernment of $6l2,GO3 every year. This
economy would be gained from various
sources. For example, We would print
five notes where We print four now, and
the increased production of - per cent
more notes with the same labor as at
present, carried through all the various
processes Of wetting. examining, count
ing. drying. numbering, sealing. separat-
ing, etc, would save more than 100000
a year alone.
THE saving in the cost of paper would
be almost 100000, and the decrease In
the cost Of plate printing would amount
to almost S270OO0. These. with q posi-

III IL Is decided to remodel our paper
currency along the lines proposed, / am
sure that I'm doing so we can make great
improvements in the quality of the de-
signs through 'the elimination of many
incoherent and meaningless features
which now are confused without order
on most of our notes, and by seeing to it
that the various features are arranged
more tremendously and are drawn with a
finer sense of proportion and selection
than at present. While the actual en-
craving of our present notes leaves moth
ing to be desired. the designing of the
notes indicates little more appreciation
for harmonious composition than the or
binary letter headings of most ccmmer-
cial firms. As these designs on the paper
currency are reproduced millions of times
and pass through the hands Of nearly
100000 people, it is worth while for US
to take pains to make them models not
merely of engraving but of design.

cation Of the designs for United States

reduction I'm the size of paper currency.
While no special legislation on the sab
ject Is necessary the work would cost
about 100000, and at the coming session
OF Congress it is probable that an appro-
priation Of this size for the purpose In
question will be requested.

ment yesterday Secretary Of the Treasury
MacVeagh says in part:
II am hopeful that the public will con-
slider favorably. as the Treasury Depart
ment Is inclined to consider favorably.

which would result ultimately from the
use of a somewhat smaller paper cur
rency. The present size of paper cur
rency is 3.O4 inches wide by rs inches

notes be reduced to oi2 inches wide by Q

PHYSICIAN FACES
GRAVE CHARGE
Aged Man on Trial for Muir
der of Young Woman
and Son.

Santa Rosa, Calf, Nov. 29.-One
of the most sensational criminal trials
that has taken place here in many
years is promised in the case OF DR..
Willard P Burke, who was brought
into court today to answer the charge
of having attempted to murder Miss
Lu Eta Smith and her eleven-months-
old son of whom DR.. Burke is said
to be the father.
The wealth and prominence of the
accused physician, the unusual meth
Cd which he is said to have employed
in his alleged attempt at double muir
der, and the subsequent flight of the
intended victim to Japan to avoid
testifying at the trial are some of the
remarkable elements. in Il case that
has already attracted wide attention
and the trial of which will undoubt-
eddy be followed with much interest.
Dr. Burke, who is man we'll along
in years, is the proprietor of a large
sanitarium at Alturas, five miles to
the north of this city. On the night
of February fifth last the patients
and attendants Of the sanitarium
were startled by loud explosion in
the sanitarium grounds. Upon in
vestigation it was found that the eX-
plosion had occurred beside house
tent in which slept Miss LII Eta
Smith and her infant son. Further
investigation showed that the explo-
sion had undoubtedly been caused
by stick of dynamite. The perpe-
traitor of the outrage, however, had
made a poor calculation in placing
the explosive The lives of the in
tended victims were spared. though
it was many weeks before the woman
recovered from the snCck.
Miss Lu Eta Smith, the intended
victim, was a student at the Univer-
sity Of California when she met DR..
Burke Later she went to live at
the sanitarium, where her child was

rectory, followed by a banquet at
which the valuable services which
Father Pauwelyn has rendered to the
church during the last quarter CEN
fury were discussed.

Statements Of that character, how
ever. are part of the stock in trade
of this particular brand of fanatics,
who see red only, and who agitate
the country over; occasionally fall
ing itno the hands of the Federal au-
thorities for the misuse of the mails,
as did Fred D. Warren, editor of the
Appeal TO Reason, or into the hands
of the municipal authorities for dis
orderly conduct, as the police records
Of the city will show.
The party which maintains a Sc
verely critical attitude toward the
world in general, thereby challenges
criticism of itself, both as to theory
and practice. Especially is this the
case in regard 10 a group that en-
deevors to bring about a revolution
of governmental methods that will
involve the destruction of present
values and radical changes in social
relations.
1t is so much the delight Of rep
resentative Socialists to hold the
statements of the leaders in the reg
ular parties up to the ridicule of the
audiences of the disconnected that
gather to hear their gospel, that the
impulse on the part of non-Socialists

orators is irresistible and indubita-

bly, the platform men lay themselves
open to unfavorable criticism ON the
score of clear thinking and candid
speaking.
At recent so-callod rallyin New
York (at q, and SO cents seat) a
well known writer on social topics
who has cast in his lot as leader of
this group, gravely assured his au-
dience that thu increase in the num-
Der of insane was due to the high
cost of living, vixen as a matter OF
fact, the reason can be found in the
annual report of the state depart
ment of lunacy of New York, where
the subject is promin ntly featured.
These officials who are charged with
the care of the insane are at pains
to state again and again that the
startling increase is contributed by
the immigrants, and the authorities
are urged to devise means for put

What is to be thought of the integ-
rity of a speaker who in a formal adj
dress so misinterprets facts?
The underlying principles or inner
tenets of the so-called Socialist par
ty are in the main untenable, in fact
they are such that no self respecting
citizen of the United States can sub
scribe to them. They are opposed
to all forms of religion and all secret
or politically organized society.
They are opposed to all modern
forms OF organized commercial indus
try, maintaining that these indus
tries should be acquired peaceably;
if not peacably then by force.
They regard the members of the
army, navy and militia as so many
hired assassins and would in the end
replace the stars and stripes with the
red rag Of anarchy and the national
anthem with the Marseillaise.
In the final analysis, Socialism
means chaos and ruin.
Organized labor has refused time
and again to have anything in COM
mon with the Socialist party.
Their deliberate attempts to slim
ulate discomfort and to foster unjust
views of existing institutions and sys-
TENS, are dangerous. They are ad-
dressed to audiences made up large
~ of aliens that have not the Anglo
Saxon self-respectinG independence.
Because of the prosecutions and re,
strictions endured in the old world,
ihmigrants arrive here embittered
against authority. They offer q
fruitful soil for any doctrine of
spoilation. especially one that re-
lieves them Of all responsibility for
their untoward acts. and sooner or
later the community will have to
reckon with this organized and large
~ misinformed clement of discon-
tent.

born. The child was named Willard
P. Burke Smith.
The investigation by the authori-
ties following the explosion led to the
arrest of DR.. Burke and his indict-
ment on the charge of attempted
murder. The officers claim to have
ascertained that, few days before
the explosion, DR.. Burke obtained a
quantity of dynamite and took it
with him on his return to Santa Rosa
from visit to the Phoenix mine, at
Oroville, which he owns.
One of the peculiar features of the
case was the disappearance of Miss
Smith when the date set for DR..
Burkes trial approached and her
subsequent return Sometime after
the dynamiting episode the woman
left this vicinity and went to Berke-
ley. Subsequently she left Berkeley,
and was next located in Japan. Ac
cording to report she was given sum
of money sufficient to take her and
her child to Japan and was promised
regular remittances as long as she
remained there. But it is said that
the promised remittances failed TO
materialize and the result was that
through the generosity of some Amer
leans whom she met in Toxic she
was enabled to return to California.
However this may be, it is certain
that she placed herself in communi-
cation with the authorities here and
is now in readiness to appear as the
principal witness for the prosecu-
ton. Struggling to the end with all
the resources of a man possessed of
wealth and unusual cunning the aged
physician now realizes the serious
ness of his position under the SER
ious charges made against him.

Okanogan, the future Wenatchee,
is now making rapid strides in the
development Of fruit growing. She
boasts Of apples equal to any grown
and carried away "a per cent Of all
plate prizes against the entire north

Okanogan is known as the one spot
where frost is unknown.
Okanogan is growing by leaps and
bounds. Nothing can hold her back.
Railroad transportation is in sight
and orchards are being planted very
rapidly.
Prices Of land today in Okanogan
are very cheap compared with We
natchee lands. Yet our productions
are equal TO any i'll the northwest.
Our $50 acre project is composed Of
the very best of soil and lays as fine
as any piece Of land can do, facing

frightened ran from their rooms. They
were quieted with the information that
the Olympians were at work and would
do no harm. In fact, the only harm
done was to the Olympic club itself.
