Chicago. Oct, 2a. a.-John R. Walsh. former head of the Chicago Nation al Banle lied at his home here to- day.
 He lived only nine days to enjoy the liberty of his parole from the federal penitentiary at Leayenworth Kas., gained by the continuous eff forts of his friends, since his incar- ceration of one year, eight months and 26 days.

 The banker was 74 years old.
 Members of his family attributed the immediate cause Of his death 10 his Imprisonment and charged Pres ident Taft anl Attorney Genera. Wickersham with responsibility in failing to arrange the parole earlier.
 They wanted the last ounce Of blood', said Oryille F. Babcock, son in-law of Mir. Walsh.
 "Who do you mean by they?"
 fThe president and Attorney Gen. eral Wickersham" he replied.
 We presentel them with state ment by Dr. Frank Billings and Dr. Joseph A. capp, stating that Mir Walsh was dangerously ill and that iitrther confinement mean his ieath. They ignored these medical statements and his death resultea from the long delay in obtaining his release"
 Mr. Walsh entered the Leaven- worth penitentlary in January, 1910, to begin five year sentence His health began to fail. After his re- lease he was probably further weak ened by twenty-six mile automobile ride in the cold from the prison to Kansas City.
 Mir. Walsh was convicted of mis- appropriatIng fun IS from the bank for the use of his other properties. All depositors were paid in full.
 He is survived by his willow Mrs. Mary l.. Walsh. three daughters, Mrs. l.. Blake Ba a'dwin, Mrs. orviIle iA. Babcock. Miss Mary Walsh and two sons, John w. and Richard w
 Mir. Walsh was born in County Cork. Ireland and came here more than GO years ago.

GAODAY THE VOTERS Of oklahoma are called ON
for the third time to register their judgment
with respect to the feature Of the constitution
49, which forbds foreign road from purchasing,
leasing or operating domestic Inns to avail itself OF
the right Of eminent domain In constructing line Of It's
own within the state.
The purpose Of this provision to force all rail-
roads domestoatc, that s to take out state charters
and thus come directly within the jurisdiction OF the
state courts The effect Of the provision has Aoen to
hold up all railroad construction. A dozen roads
and extensions were projected at the timo statehood
came TO us Those projects have either lain dormant
over since hayc been given up altogether. 1t has
been stated by railroad promoters constructors and H.
nanccrs that mile Of road could be built in
Oklahoma long this provision stands In the con
stituton only fair state that this provision
several other rcgulatyc provisions hinge.
Twice the people Of the STAKE have voted down n
proposal to repeal the Objectionable provision \ ma
jory of those voting proposition at the last cleo
ton favored It's repeal hut this majority less than
a majority of tho whole number voting ON governor and
the proposal lost
It is not the purpose Of the World TO counsel tho
voters how 10 act this matter but each and

one of tho benefits Of tho rcterendum-to act I'M

Of the commonwealth with respect thereto is to be- 1t
follows that unless the individual voter docs his fun duty

OkLNHOMA'S BIRTHDAY.

! some time ago with respect to the arrogance
| c'inccd by some Of tho West Side institutions.
49, the esteemed Obdahoman persists I'm fixing tho
birth of the state tho date when the first run oc-
cured ut1 what was later Oklahoma Territory aud In
observing that date the birthday of the State y that
method Of reckoning oklahoma was twenty two years
old yesterday.
But no such an assumption go unrcbukcd, and
no such mathematics become established IN okla
homa. II the birthday Of the state be thus fixed
then 1ot the birthday Of oklahoma be fixed on that
date when Congress established these reservations and
ordered the tribes TO here from Mississippi Ala
bama and the old reservations east Of tho Mississippi 1t
was from these reservations that Oklahoma territory
carved, and the state mover existed IN fact until
the balance Of the rcservaons added therctothe
whole being crowned with statehood only little more
than three years ago.
Tho birth Of the state OF oklahoma that
day In November 1907, when the Presidents procla-
nation made It member Of tho Union It is absurd to
attempt to fix tho age Of the state at 22 when a
matter Of fact It is less than four The latter date
ognzed by stotscans everywhere, Why should anyone
IN oklahoma seek to change Il?

ABOUT SALARIES.

Congressman Jameson saved fully
$4,000 out of the $4,000 he drew
during the two years, and had sense
enough to quit before the demand for
him had evaporated. He can now en-
joy quiet life at his home in Shen-
Naturalization Patriot-Herald.
Col. Pete Hepburn and many other
congressman said they couldn't live
in Washington on $4,000 a year, but
it appears that Mr.. Jameson could
live there two years for $4,000.
Hepburn was congressman for
twenty years. He was a poor man
when he went there; he is now one
of the wealthy men of the state.
Jameson saved $4,000 in two years.
What occupation could either of
these gentlemen have engaged in
here at home that would have been
so profitable?
The last Iowa legislature raised
the salaries of members of the legis-
lature from $3.50 to $1,000. The
former price was probably too low
when the cost of living is considered
and a raise of $500 or $3.50 might
have been justifiable, but $1,000
paid for three or four months work
is not justifable.
One of the greatest evils of the
times is the tendency for the crea-
ton of new offices and big salaries

EVIDENTLY A LOSING BUSINESS

A correspondent of The Tribune
is panied by it's assertion that the
duties on raw wool are too high. He
says-and, being in the sheep in
dustry, he thinks he ought to know
that without them the wool in
dustry would perish and sheep be-
come as scarce in America as snakes
in Ireland.
A wool grower, he says, sis
obliged to take care of two sheep for
an entire year to get the wool need
ed for one suit of clothes. For this
wool the sheepman receives $3.50,
and it has cost him in the meantime
on an average of $6.SS to take care
of the two sheep"
The only conclusion one can draw
from this is that the wool raiser is
in an extremely Improbable bust
ness, which he had better get out of
as soon as possible. It would seem
as if nothing but disinterested love
for sheep could induce him to stay
in it. 1t would take duty of in
credible proportions to make his bust
ness a paying one.
The condition of this wool grower,
struggling along heroically under an
annual deficit of $5.3S, is not so bad
as the correspondent would have us
believe. The time when sheep were
raised almost exclusively for their
wool has gone by. They are raised
now chiefly because they bring forth
lambs and make mutton. The wool is
merely a by-product. Americans have
learned to eat mutton, now they are
getting it of better quality than of
old.
This shepherd who is said to be
out of pocket through patriotic ef-
forts to provide an all-wool suit of
clothes for some American is no
argument against the downward re-
vision of schedule K. He is an argu-
ment for it. Neither he nor the other
man should call on the government
to back him up in a losing business.
The theory that an American who
has gone into some industry where
natural conditions are adverse and
success prOblematical has right to
demand sufficient tariff protection
to make his business profitable is not
in favor among the men and women
who have to pay outrageous prices
for clothing and blankets which have
more shoddy and cotton to them
than they have wool.-Chicago Trib-

ROOSEVELT AND TAFT.

Mr.. Roosevelt, with no chance of
nomination and not the slightest pos
sibility of election If nominated,
made it understood that he would
not be a candidate for the head of
the national republican ticket.
The self-abnegation and fortitude
of such a position will be appreci-
ated by an intelligent public.
Also, it was announced that the
ex-president would support Mr.. Taft
for denomination and reelection.
Already Mr.. Taft has had occasion
to pray to be delivered from some of
his friends.
Now comes Mr.. Roosevelt's denial
of having made any promise to- help
the president to secure the nomina-
ton.
And the world will move right
along in it's ancient course, regard
less of what Mr.. Roosevelt may say

The family with young children that Is
without sickness in the house now and
then is rare, and SO it is important that
the head Of the house should know what
to do in the little emergencies that arise
a child with serious ailment needs a
doctor, it is true, but in the majority Of
instances, as any doctor knows. the child
suffers from some intestinal trouble,
usually constipation.
There is no sense in giving It pill or
a remedy containing an opiate, nor Is
flushing Of the bowels to be always recon-
mended. Rather give it a small dose Of
q mild, gentle laxative tonic like DR..
Caldweil's Syrup Pepsin, which. by clean
ing out the bowels and strengthening the
little stomach muscles. will Immediately
correct the trouble.

THE NEW STATES RIGHTS.

When Governor Woodrow Wilson
in his long and interesting elliptlcal
trip across the continent and back
reached Nebraska, he gave an in
depreciation of the new doctrine OF
States rights that is as pralseWorthy
as any other utterance made during
this notable journey.
The right of the citizen is no long
er regarded as an individual per-
uuisite to be defended and upheld
because of it's usefulness in serving
individuals and selfish ends. In a
similar view the rights OF the states
are to be thought of not as some
thing over which doctrinaries are to
split hairs but as obligations imposed
under our scheme of government to
perform advantageous service, as OPP
portunities for assisting in the solu-
ton of great national problems. Mr..
Wilson finds in Quickened sense OF
the responsibility of the states a
promise of values that never could
be realized under the old dogmatic
theory of states rights.
The states haven't been toting fair.
They have been showing the burden
along the stick until Uncle Sam has
had much more than his share. The
fact that Uncle Sam has seemed will
ing to assume more than his
strength is equal to has not dis
guised the injudicious character of
the arrangement. The state govern
ments can enlist activities that could
never be enlisted from far off Wash
ington. They can look after details
that would escape attention in the
more diffused and distant perspec-
tive of the general government.
Late events in Mexico are not with
out instruction. If the state govern
ments there had been permitted to
fulfill under the federated principle
If while strongly centralized gov
eminent was maintained at Mexico
City, there had been latitude in ex-
preston at the state capitals, full
opportunity to give representation to
local ideas and local sentiment
some of the things we have lately
seen happen would never have hap
pened But that most important phase
of the federated system which COM
templates the assumption by local
authority of responsibilities just as
important in their way as those of
the central authority was ignored.
Government at the state capitals was
compelled to exemplify the precise

Attorney General Cosson has writ
ten letter to county attorneys
which should result in better roads
in Iowa by reason of activity of the
road drag. The dragging law is to be
enforced and those charged with the
duty of executing it are thus notified.
The intent of the legislature was
plain enough. 1t meant to have the
road dragged and the dragging paid
for 1t also meant that those who
have the work to do should be under
legal obligations to see that it is
done Mr.. Cosson is simply doing his
plain duty when he sets the machin-
cry of enforcement in operation.
1t will be we'll for township Of
ficials to heed the warning. The
county attorneys have no choice but
to obey the law and see that it is en-
forced. The day of special favor from
the county attorneys office is past.
1t is quite within reasonable expec-
tation that mandamus proceedings
may stir the activity of sluggish or
neglectful road officials. And there
are' costs generally where legal ma
chinery operates to force conformity
Townships should take the atti-
tude that this is their law, not the
county attorneys or the attorney
generals. 1t was made by the repre-
sentatives of the whole people and
urged as strongly by rural represent
atives as by those from the cities.
Now that it is decided to be good
law, as it is good sense, there should
be immediate and cheerful compli-
ance with it's provisions. Individuals
should assist the operation of the
law by taking on their share of the
work. No trustee should find it neces-
sary to search long for men and
teams to do the dragging for the
wage specified. We have been APPROX
ing the road drag and arguing it's
efficiency for years; let's drag as we
talk for year or so.
Mr.. Cossons letter should start
activity on more than 100000 miles
of Iowa highways. 1t is of infinitely

WHOSE LAWS ARE WE LIVING
UNDER.

Ask the republican farmer who
tells you that the democratic party is
responsible in the slump in the price
of live stock to put his finger upon a
democratic law or policy in force in
this country. The Payne-Aldrich tar
if law is still in force; the republic
can president is still enforcing re-
publican laws and measures; there
has been no change of administration
or policies. The slump, like the panic,
is a child of the republican party.
That's the stubborn truth around
which you cannot get, Mr.. Republi-
can.-Atchison County Mail.
