EVIDENTLY HAD HIS DOUBTS
ofactory Evidence offered Up by
Serious Minded Old-Tlmo
Circuit Rider.

A typical old.time Circuit rider"
died recently in Alabama man
whose godly unselhsh life will long
be remembered Many were the co
centricities OF this rugged old man.
and many anecdotes are current
among the Methodist ministers OF the
state concerning him. He was noted
for two things-his denunciation OF
sin in no uncertain tones, and the
familiarity with which he addressed
the Lord In prayer.
On ono occasion he had been preach.
ing In log meeting house in the piny
woods OF north Alabama. There were
several young fellows on hand who
had been celebrating by patronizing q
stu hard by. After long. fiery ser
mon, tho preacher made a call for
mourners. and soon the rude altar
was filed mostly by the afore-nen'
toned young fellows. Tho old man
looked them over for a moment, and
with keen intuition felt that It was
perhaps q lark" on the boys part
but he knelt TO pray.
20 Lord" no began. here's q crowd
OF young fellows kneeling round your
altar, They've been cussin' and
swoarin' and drinkin' and spendin'
their time in riotous Twin, but they've

They look like penitents, Lord, and
hope they are. They weep like peni'
tents, Lord. and l hopo you'll forgive

An Ornlthologlcal Pest.

The invasion OF our shores by the
English starting is causing great
deal OF comment in pathological cir
cles.
Have we another English sparrow
pest on our hands7 people are every
where beginning to inquire. This is
a question which can hardly yet be
answered with certainty by direct
yes or no. The federal government is
making careful scientlhc investiga-
lions and has not yet reported its
decision. 1t is safe, however. to say
this, that the startling is liable to be-
come a great pest and nuisance in
this country through pressure OF mum.
bsrs, though II haS useful traits, and
Is in some ways q beautiful and inter-
estIng bird, far superior TO the Eng.
lish sparrow.
The sum and substance OF the mat.
ter, as far as we have gone at pres
emit, seems to be that II the starting
could remain IN only moderate num-
bers in locality. its presence would
not be particularly Objectionable. but
that II, after spreading out all over
the country. 1t locally increases to
great numbers and immense 1ooks. as
It gives every promise o. doing. II
will become q very serious menace,
both to cur useful native birds and to
agriculture.-Herbert X. Job, In Out.

all, does a woman's hat serve to cover

May Arrest White
For Killing Boy
Murderous Speeding
of Autos Must Stop

H. N. White, president of the Standard Paper
Co., is said to be sick in bed from the shock OF see
ing the auto he driving run down boy and kill
him.
1t must be a terrible thing to witness.
The Times, however reserves the big bulk of its
sympathy for the mother of the dead boy who saw
him dragged down to terrible death just as he turned
to help her off the street car.
Whites four children are safe and WELL
Nothing he can do nor that the law can do will
restore that bright, promising boy, Charles Van
Horn to his mothers arms.
White must have fair trial, of course. If, as
his friends assert, he running slowly and care
fully, if he did all that could to avert the acc
dent then he must be acquitted.
But if White, as other witnesses say, was driv
ing at speed of from 20 to 35 miles hour through
a crowded downtown street; if, as these other men
say his auto skidded for from 20 to 80 feet after
striking the boy so great was it's momentum, THEN
WHITE SHOULD BE JAILED FOR MAN
SLAUGHTER.
1t may be, indeed, that White and his friends
took little longer to get around the Country Club
golf course than they expected, and that they
late for dinner, and had to hurry.
But we can't remove from our mind the picture
of this other mother and her lonely arms-of that
little home out in South Tacoma with Charleys dis
carded clothes and playthings about everywhere
a terrible reminder every hour that the boy will
never come back.
Those screams of agony uttered by the boy rang
for blocks, terrible the pain. 1t will be long
time before Mrs Van Horn can forget that-her boy
suffering so fearfully
1t won't help Mrs. Van Horn to have White
sentenced to jail for manslaughter. 1t won't give
her her boy again.
But it may hammer little sense into the heads
of some other Tacoma autoists.
This is the second fatal accident within month
Mrs. Mary Curtz, widow, saw her little girl killed
before her eyes just a short time ago by an auto
One damage is now in the courts from fast

RECIPROCITY
BEATEN To
FRAGILE
{I,y United Press Leased Wire.)

I,y United Press Leased Wire.)
OTTAWA, Sept. 22.-With a
majority of from As to so, the
greatest within the recent history
of the country, Canada's coming
premier, Robert l.. Borden, today
stands committed to a policy OF
trade under the flag" as the re-
suit Of the sweeping defeat of Sir
Wilfrid Laurier's government
which for Is years has guided the
destinies of "Our Lady of the
Shows"
Trade concessions only to Great
Britain and her colonies Will be
the policy of Canada. All more in
innate relations with the United
States will be tabooed and the
whole efforts of the Dominion Will
be bent toward building up trade
within it's own borders.
The victory of Borden is tri-
umph for the imperialistic policy
of trade preferences, which aims
to consolidate the British colonies
by commercial connection and to
establish a practical "all red" of
commercial communities around
the world.
Returns of the landslide today
are still Incomplete. So far they
indicate that the next parliament
will be compdsed of 130 conserva-
tives and sc liberals.
The conservatives in Ontario
carried II of the 85 seats of the
province. The big feature of the
ple3tion was the gain by the con-
servatives of two seats in Sas-
katchewan, which was supposed to
be unanimous for reciprocity.
Annexation Bogey Worked.
There is little doubt expressed
today that one of the principal
causes of the defeat of the Laur-
Ter government was the annexa-
ton cry raised when Speaker
Champ Clark, in the American
house of Representatives declared
that he hoped one day to see one
flag flying from the Gulf of Mex
leo to the North Pole.
The defeat of the liberals, the
most sweeping since confederation
of the Dominion of Canada, means
the final retirement from public
life of Sir Wilfrld Laurier, for
nearly a score OF years one of the
promi1 ent colonial figures In the
British empire. The defeated lib
erAl leader, who is 70 years old.
was greatly disappointed at the re-
suit of the election.
