CARRIE NATION DEAD.
Famous Saloon Smasher Dies at
Leayenworth, Kansas.

Carrie Nation, the Kansas saloon
smasher, died at Leavenworth, Kan
sas Friday night.
Mrs. Nation was born in Kentucky
in 1916. Her maiden name was Car
RE Moore. In her early life she mar
ried a man addicted to the use of
intoxicants which created in her an
intense aversion to the saloon. When
he died she determined to devote her
life TO the suppression of the liquor
traffic.
Later she moved to Kansas and
married David Nation who sympath-
lied with her temperance principles.
Mrs. Nations first saloon smashing
was done in the barroom of the Cary
hotel at Wichita, December 81, 1900.
She was arrested and remained sew
eral days in Jail before she was re-
leased on bond.
On January 21, 1901, armed with
her fayorite weapon, Ratchet, Mrs.
Nation made another raid in Wich-
ita. This time she smashed two
joints.
During the next three months Mrs.
Nation appeared in various Kansas
towns leaving a trail of ruined bar
room fixtures wherever she went
She was assaulted and severely hurt
while wrecking joint at Enterprise,
Kansas. Soon after her activities in
Kansas she became a lecturer and
published paper called the Smash
ers Mail. In New York she created
a sensation by appearing at the horse
show in Madison Square garden and
demanding that the occupants of the
Vanderbilt box contribute money for
home for drunkards' wives which
she founded in Kansas City, Kansas.
The home recently was taken over
by the Associated Charities in Kan
sas City, Missouri.

Cement Factory Erection.

West Union, June 12.-Ground
was broken today for the frame
building which will be occupied as
the factory of the West Union Ce-
ment company. The location is north
of the Rock Island tracks about sew
enty-five yards east of the depot, and
just east of Dwyer & Tamblyn's coal
sheds. As soon as it was learned
that this location could be secured
the idea was abandoned of building
near the elevator, west of Vine ST.,
sa much expense of grading and fill
ing will be avoided by taking the To-
cation east of the tracks. The change
of location was decided on at meet
ing of the directors held on Monday.
The principal building is to be 40x40
feet in size t

RECoMPENSE FOR 10TH.

II will be remembered that some time
ago a shocking case was developed in
Pennsylvania, where an alien, Andrew
10th, had been convicted of murder
and sentenced to life Imprisonment in
the State penitentiary. He served
twenty years of that sentence, and then
An emigrant who had returned from
Hungary made the death bed confes-
sion that he himself was the real mur-
derer in the case, and not 10th. 1t
transplred, on investigation, that 10th
did not know anything of the English
language at the time that he was con-
victed; he was in court, but did not
know what was said. He had no idea
that he was being tried for murder, and
his defense was therefore nothing. His
sentence was Imprisonment rather than
death, because of his apparent stolidity
and non comprehension of the gravity
of the offense he was alleged to have
committed.
1t was supposed that the legislature
of Pennsylvania, which has been In
session since the facts developed, but
which has recently adjourned. would
make some provision by way Of caring
for this man 10th. upon whom the State
had inflicted such calamitous injury.
Here was a man who had spent the best
twenty years of his life, sent to the
penitentiary as felon, and his life
wasted, and all the time he was limo
cent Of the commission of any crime.
Clearly the State owed him repara-
tion; but stolidly the State refused to
grant it. Ii was such scandalous
case Of personal injury that there was
talk at the time that Mr. Carnegie
would come to the relief of 10th in case
the Legislature did not; and so it is
announced now that Mr.. Carnegie has
put 10th on his private pension roll at
$40 d month. 10th will use the first
money he receives TO visit Hungary TO
see his wife, whom he has not seen
since his unjust conviction a score of
years ago.
1t is something that Mr. Carnegie has
stepped to the front to remedy the ap-
parently willful omission Of the legis-
lature of Pennsylvania; but, after all,
that does not really meet the case. 1t
is Pennsylvania that should come to
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1911-08-09

10th 3 relief, for it is Pennsylvania
that has done 10th the injury. 1t is not
enough that Mr.. Carnegie OF anybody
else shall come forward and pay q
pension TO 10th. The State of Pennsyl-
vania owes 10th reparation. Any State
that would infict the same injury upon
an innocent man owes that man fit re-
paration for that injury.
A good deal has been done in the
past fifty years for the hmelioratlon
and bettermcnt OF the condition OF
prisoners, and for the mildcr discipline
to which they must be subject, But
here is noteworthy and singular omis
sion to do what is plainly the right and
lust thing towards one upon whom the
State had inflicted lrreporable injury
1t is not ease for philanthropy, but fol
Justice. The State cannot be sued and
compelled to do Justice or make repair
alton, but it should none the less be
ready to do Justice, and to make such
reparation as is possible for the injury
il has inflicted. It is decidedly dis
creditablc to the legislature OF Penn
sylvsnia that it adjourned without TAX
ing any notice Of this case; and we
think that the 10th ease might well
serve as "a notice to all the States that
they should pass remedial statutes de-
signed to cover such cases as this

THE NICARAGUAN TREATY.

The loan convention between the
United States and Nicaragua, which was
signed at Washington on June 9th last
is similar to the Honduran convention
now pending in the United States Sen
ate. and follows the general policy first
applied by this Government in the Do
minican Republic in 1905 with such
admirable results, and which provides
for the placing of loan with respon-
sible bankers in the United States
secured by the customs revenues col
lected and administered by a Collector
General approved by the President of
the United States, both Governments
taking note of the terms of the con
tract and giving it requisite protee-
ton.
On June 18th the National Assembly
of Nicaragua, after thorough discus
sion and some minor amendments, aP'
proved the convention, and President
Diaz Of that country made urgent rep
reservations to the United States Gov
ernment to expedite the negotiations
because he considered them the strong
est if not the only means for estab'
fishing and maintaining peace and or"
der in that revolution-ridden republic.
The advantages to be gained by Near
aqua from the convention are that the
interest on its foreign debt will be re-
duced from six to five per cent; It's
long-standing internal Indebtedness will
be taken up; its numerous obligations
met; cash will be provided for honest
expenditures in the building of neces-
sary railroads from the interior to the
Caribbean; the violent fluctuation or
exchange will thereafter be avoided
the country will be relieved of un-
necessary expense in the suppression
of revolutions, thus permitting it to
reduce its army; and the custom houses,
which are the main incentive for revo'
lutions, being removed from the polit-
ical control. the country will be en-
abled to obtain permanent public tran
quillity; thereupon the government may
devote its energies to the develop
ment of Nicaragua IS material resources
The corresponding advantages to the
United States are that this Govern
ment will be relieved of the necessity
of constantly interfering in the in
ternal affairs Of Nicaragua for the pro.
lection of American interests aud for
the restoration of law and order, and
will no longer be under the necessity,
as heretofore, of landing marines and
sending war vessels to both coasts
from time to time. The convention is
intended to create situation in which
such action will be unnecessary, or, If
necessary. will be by invitation. It is
also believed that the industry of the
filibuster will be destroyed and the
United States relieved of the odium
Of having certain of its ports used by
Adventures and self~seekers for hos.
tile attacks against the Central Amer
lean republics. AT the same time the
Governments of Europe will no longer
be afforded any occasion for interfer-
ence in Central America in behalf of
the collection of claims held by their
subjects or citizens. And finally, it is
believed that with peace restored a
great field will be opened for Amer.
lean enterprise.
