The great loss of life by fire in the
Triangle Shirtwaist company's fac.
tory in New York city last week is but
another instance directly attributable
to culpable negligence. Men whose
duty it was to inspect the building
and see that adequate fire protection
was afforded permitted doors which
opened inward to be used as we'll as
practically useless fire escapes.
When the fire broke out over 700 girls
we're entrapped, and it is indeed
miraculous that only 143 of them lost
their lives. An investigation is being
made by the authorities, but this will
prove little consolation to the rela.
tives of the poor girls whose lives
were sacrificed.

A plan has been adopted by the Soc
road for the sale and settlement of its
Wisconsin lands which will prove OF
much benefit to the settler, while the
railroad company will get its reward
in increased business and enhanced
value of the land it retains. The plan
is to clear off a portion of each farm,
build road into it and sink a we'll.
This will enable the settler to at once
begin raising crops, which assures
him of a living while he clears the
remainder of his farm during his
spare time. AS it is now settler in
a wooded country must have unusual
resources, for it is impossible to raise
any crops of Importance during the
first year. The scheme is good one
and it seems to us that the railroads
running through northern Minnesota
could adopt it to advantage.

William P. Harrison of Cincinnati,
millionaire, and head of. the World
Manufacturing company and it's sub
sidiary concerns, has been convicted
upon seven counts for fraudulent use
of the mails. HARRISON, in his cata-
logues, misrepresented vacuum car
pet sweeper and the secret service men
caught him at his game. His convic-
tion makes possible total prison
sentence of thirty-fve years or fines
on each count ranging from $1,000 to
SIS, 900. The postofice departments
field for prosecutions of this sort is
practically unlimited, for, if We mis-
take not, in every catalogue sent out
by the big mail order houses misrep-
resentations are made.

The people of Milwaukee appear
to be already firing of their socialist
administration. At any rate the
primary election in the beer city last
week for school directors showed a
heavy falling off of the vote for that
party as compared with the ballot
cast a year ago, when Emil Seidel
was indorsed for mayor. Only two
out of four socialist candidates we're
nominated and these ran sixth and
ninth on list of ten. Some of the
papers say that Seidel has failed to
make good-that he has plunged the
city over ears in, debt-and this may
be the reason that socialism is wan
ing. However, he is not charged with
being corrupt as we're the Dave Rose
administrations which we're virtually
controlled by the brewery interests. :

It is stated in a dispatch from
Washington that the attorney gen.
erals recommendations in the cases
of Chas. W. Morse and John r.
Walsh, the convicted bankers who
have petitioned for a pardon, are
averse to granting the request and
that President Taft will undoubtedly
act in accordance Herewith. In view
of the fact that these defaulters re.
ceived light sentences in comparison
with the magnitude of their crimes,
the attorney general is entitled to
credit for recommending that pardons
be denied them.

There are 40 ground whatever for
the rumor that Japan is preparing for
war with the United States, but the
best authorities tell us that she is
nevertheless preparing for war on a
large scale against a great power.
What really concerns Japan is the
mastery Of the Asiatic mainland, to
be specific. China. It may take her
years to conquer China, but. she will
do so just,as sure as she whipped the

1t was my part for months to use a

noyances. l have waited for half an
hour at time while two women dis
cussed domestic problem or bit OF
scandal before being able to call ur
some one with whom needed to con,

My telephone is in the upper hall,
near my bedroom. One night was
awakened by sharp ring. Jumping
out of bed, went to the telephone and
took up the receiver.
"Well?" l said.
No reply
'Hello, central!'
No reply.
"Hello! Hello! Did you call me up?"
Then there was a lot Of clicking, at
the end of which woman's voice
said:

message was not for me, but some one
was in trouble, and realized the i'm.
portance of getting the address

"Where shall Gomez" I asked.
''Why. I'm Ethel. I'm at home"
''Where is your homer"
"Oh, dear-S5 Merton avenue!'
There was click, but as the con.
nection was not broken I inferred that
the receiver had been dropped rather
than shut off. Then heard dialogue
between a man and the woman who
had been talking to me. The man

The good old 81. hoss-trading pro-
fession received severe joltsthe other
day when Chicago judge ruled that
the man who cheats another when fol-
lowing the above calling is no better
than thief and as such he may be
punished: While the judge is prob
ably right in his decision it is not
likely that the majority of "hoss
traders" will pay any attention to it,
for the whole spice of the business lies
in cheating one another-that's the
only satisfaction the "hossmen" get.

Judge Lands of Chicago has [not
forgotten how to impose a good stiff
sentence when he has an opportunity.
He last week sent three fellows to

affixing the necessary government

MAccABEEs TO BOOST RATES

PORT HURON, Mich, Sept. 12.--
The special session of the great camp
of the Knights of the Modern Mac
cabees, called to take action on the
proposed increase in assessment rates,
opened today with every prospect Of Il
lively meeting. Like other fraternal
insurance orders the Maccabees has
reached that stage of it's career when
an increase in rates appears necessary
to meet the losses resulting from the
maturity of the first class of certifi-
Gates issued to the early members and
carrying old age annuity as well as
death benefit. A considerable element
OF the membership is strenuously op-
posed to the increase in assessments.
Their Representatives will introduce a
resolution to meet the loss not by a
raise in rates but by abolishing num-
ber of highly paid Offices that are de-
clared to be sinecures and by other
wise reducing the expenses of main
tanning the order.

GIRL IN sLAvER'S HANDS.

PITTSBURG, Kas., Sept. 1.-THE
authorities of this county, private de-
tectives and the Anti Horse Thief as
sociation are searching for Goldie
Jump, Ia years old, and two other
girls, who are believed to have been
kidnapped by white slavers and held
prisoners. Two persons are under
surveillance and it is likely arrests will
follow.
Goldie Jump left her home ten days
ago, after having gained her mothers
permission to visit Sunday school
teacher. A little later she telephoncd
her mother that the teacher was GO
ing to spend week in the country,
and again gained her mothers permis-
sion to accompany the teacher. The
latter returned to Pittsburg Sunday,
but without Goldie. She said she had
not seen her.
Thus far the investigation has de-
veloped that two other girls, Rosa and

spectively, disappeared the same day
that Goldie left home. Goldie told hei
