WEEK AFTER PAROLE

Wednesday. He was so glad to be
home, he insisted on being up and
around the house."
He is survived by his widow, three
daughters, Mrs. L. Blake Baldwin Mrs.
Orville Babcock and Miss Mary Walsh
and his two sons, John and Richard.
Grew Rich From Humble Start
He was born in Cork county, Ire
land, and had lived in Chicago for more
than sixty years. He was of humble
origin, and on his arrival here worked
first as newsboy, gradually holding
better positions until he became at
tached to bank. Later when he had
acquired wealth his chief business con.
Germ was his group Of Chicago banks,
the Chicago National, the Equitable
Trust Co., and the Home Savings bank
Among his other properties were
the Bedford Quarries Co., the Indiana
Southern Coal Co., the Southern Indi-
ana railway, the Chicago Chronicle
and the Northwestern Gas Light and
Coke Co.
Withdrawal of money from his banks
to finance these other enterprises re-
suited in an indictment following the
closing of the banks in 1907. He was
found guilty and December 3, 1909 was
placed in custody.
Son-in-Law Scores Administration,
A sensational sidelight on the bank
ers death was thrown by Orville E.
Babcock. a son-in-law, who declared
that Mr.. Walsh's death was due to de-
lay in extending Walsh release from
prison. M. Babcock held President Taft
and Attorney General Wickersham re-
sponsible for that delay
"They wanted the last ounce Of
blood" said Mr.. Babcock
Who do you mean by they?"
Why President Taft and Attorney
General Wickersham' he replied. I'VE
presented them with statements made
by DR.. Frank Billings and DR.. Joseph
A. Capp stating Mr. Walsh was dan
gerously i'll and the further confine-
ment might mean his death. They sim
ply ignored these medical statements,
and the long delay in extending his re-
lease resulted.

Lightning Rods

w. F. Massey, in Starkville (Miss.) Progressive Farmer.
 Will 1t pay to use lightning rods on building that is surrounded by trees" I have seen many houses that were rod ~ ded but struck with lightning" A badly constructed rod may be worse than none, while a well fixed rod is a good protection. The rod should have good platinum points, and should be perfectly continuous to perfectly damp soil in the ground. Never use the old fashioned glass insulators on the roof, connect the rod with the tin rain water gutters. Consult reliable dealer. and do not let a travelling lightning rod man swindle you, as most of these travelling fellows will. Study what the leading dealers say in regard to their rods, and then buy 1t and put 1t up yourself2 making sure that the earth connection is deep enough to have the rod always in damp ground.

BROWN SAILOR HATS LIKED

Almost as popular as the black sail

its close kin, that of burnt straw. 1t
is especially we'll liked for wear with
the popular brown linen suit-for
brown seems to be having quite q
vogue this season.
Newest Of course, are the small sail
or with the large head size, the small
or medium sized brim and the rather
high crown. These are somewhat try
ing to many types OF women. but look
exceedingly we'll on the girls who are
'tailorish" enough to don them.
On the black and dark brown hats
white bands are the most approved
and fashionable style. while the burnt
straw hats are encircled by bands OF
darker brown.
And the smartest hats. OF course.
are those OF the extreme straws-

Protect the Mayor.

Alderman Burke would honor May.
or Parsons by remaining portion
Of Washington avenue Parsons
Boulevard. In resolution sub
mitted at Tuesday nights session
of the City Council, the alderman
says it is his opinion that the citi-
zens should show their appreciation
Of the city's chief executive by con
ferring this honor upon him.
1t Is probable some of the citizens
will not agree with the alderman
so far as the plan to change the
name of any portion of Washington
avenue is concerned. However, ii
is reasonable to believe, majority
of the citizens will agree with Burke
when he says something should be
done to show the city's gratitude.
III the citizens of Cairo wish to
pay tribute to Mayor Parsons, they
can do so by defending him from his
enemies, who have been working
overtime since the publication of
Burke's resolution.
Although the mayor was not pres
ent at the meeting Tuesday night
and still isabsent from the city, he
has not only been ridiculed, but has
also been subjected to published In
sults-the kind the average citizen
would resent with force.
1t is not fair to attack one mar
for the actions OF another.
Perhaps Mayor Parsons will de-
cline the proposed honor eyenbefore
the City Council members have an
opportunity to consider Alderman
Burke's resolution, and no doubt he
will take such action Immediately

much oppostion-not because the
mayor is not worthy of such an
honor, but more because of the CON
fusion that would result.
Mayor Parsons has taken great
pride in the care of Washington

the many improvements he has caus-
ed to be made on the thoroughfare
many at his own expense.
Other improvements have been
