THURSDAY. AUGUST 4. 1910.
DOMINATE VILLA M S.

The Democratic nomination for
United States senator ought to go to
Burt Williams of Ashland. He highly
deserves the honor, and his nomination
would strengthen the party. His speech
delivered before the Jefferson Club of
Milwaukee is a good platform on which
to base his candidacy. Nominate Mr..
Williams and there will be no room for
doubt that the Democrats of Wisconsin
are sound and progressive.

The multiplication of theaters and
picture shows and the increasing at
tendance of children at such places are
causing moralists to think and write
upon the subject of the encouragement
and proper supervision of these and
other forms of instruction and amuse-
ment. The Springfield Mass Repub-
lican in considering this subject says:
"That great body of moral instruction
which will endure being cast into life
like mold, and which when presented
in dramatic form will reveal itself to
the commonest understanding as thor
>oughly responsive to the realities Of life
certainly merits this formal presentation
particularly to the young. And this
incontrovertible proposition brings one
Immediately to the moral instruction OF
children under the conditions of modern
life"
The Republican goes on to state that
the stage is still practically an unused
agency in the moral training of the
rising generation of this country as
we'll as of other countries, and holds
that the church of the future, with its
old UNCONVENTIONAL feuds eliminated,
cannot afford to leave, unutilized the
immensely important agency of the
stage, which today remains almost a
source of frivolous, popular amusement
often degrading in it's influence upon
society.
Whatever may be the form of amuse-
ment provided for the young there is
need of careful oversight and super
vision on the part of parents and guar
dams. That the boys and girls be KEEP
from the evil should be the prayer of all
And it is just as necessary for parents
to watch and to guard against evil, as i
is to pray. The happiness of the hom
and the welfare of society demand tina
parental duties be not set aside. You'll
demands care and instruction, and en-
tertainment under supervision whicl
will in after years prove to have bee
wise and salutary. No greater problem
presents itself today than the prope
oversight of those who are to be the me
and women of the coming generation.

The trial of William Majors, the rail- road fireman charged with wrecking Louisville and Nashville passenger No. 1 at Cunningham switch last December and causing the death of William Young and Harry Wilson. is drawing to a close in the first division of the criminal court where the case has been on trial during the last two weeks

E. Fort who will be succeeded shortly by Frank Cahalan. elected to that office In the recent election.
 Nothing of importance was divulged in the examination of Majors and the others placed on the stand yesterday. The de- fendant continued to deny guilt of any complicty in the Cunningham and De- catur wrecks, and stated that he had never made any threats about wrecking a train. He said that he was absent from his engine at the Cunningham siding for only a few minutes before the wreck Of No. 1, and made the assertion that he was at all times within speaking distance of Engineer Harrison, who was in the cab He denied having made a remark to Engineer Cobb to the effect that the switches at Siluria and Blount Springs were good places" for wrecks.
 With the examination of the defendant the defense closed its case. Among the witnesses called in rebuttal by the state was Mrs. Barbara Brown. a relative of the defendant, who testified as to a visit to Majors Decatur home.

Armstrong's Slayer Is
 Given Death Penalty

, out for about three hours, last night returned a verdict of guilty and rec
 commended the death penalty.
 Seay's trial was very short. The
 state had a clear case against him of willful and deliberate murder and there was practically no ground for defense. The case went to the jury yesterday at the close of the afternoon session of the court, and the verdict was rendered after supper. The only disagreement among the members of the jury, 1t is understood, was on the question of whether the penalty should be life Imprisonment or hanging.
 Seay's sentence is the first sentence of death passed in the criminal court this fall. The date of his execution will be set by Judge Weaver tomor- row, which is sentence day in the crim- inal court. Assistant Solicitor Ed Win ston conducted the prosecution of Seay and the negro was defended by At- torney J. T. Roach.
 The murder of J. G. Armstrong by the negro caused much indignation. MT. Armstrong was popular employe of the Tennessee company and was en- gagged on the day of the shooting in paying off the men at Ishkooda. Seay applied to Armstrong for his brother
 in-law's money and the paymaster told him he could not get it without a writ
 ten order. The negro went away grumbling and returning a short time later fired through the open window.
 The shot took effect in Armstrong; s
 neck and proved fatal more than a
 month later. when the wounded man
 died at local infirmary after a long battle for life.
 l It is understood there is no ground
 for appeal of the case or for new | trial and Seay will probably be hanged
 on the date set by Judge Weaver.
