DEATH IN The HANDS
OF GOD. NOT MAN

Is any person justified in put
ting to death Il sufferer afflicted
with appare ntly hopeless illness.
That question, so often deb ated,
has been answered in the affirm
ative in Florida. In the Shaker
colony near Kisimmpe, Fla. Sadie
Marchant lay in the last stages of
disease. She suffered sorely and
Came to fear the pain more THAI
she did death. Her friends
believed she had only few more
days to live. and when she begged
them to put AN end to her suffer
ings they administered chloroform
and ended her life. The authori-
ties issued war. ant for the ar
rest Of Egbert Gillette and Eliza
beth Sears. Both promptly con-
frssed that they had administered
the fatal drug. "Shc plead with
ua to end her life," Gillette ex-
planned, "Sister Sears ind I
prayed over the matter for hours
and the answer came that 1t would
be right for US to end the agony
Of Sister Marchant. She blessed
us as we did 80. We feel that we
were doing Gods work"
The supplemented Shnkers will
find defenders. Perphas they will
escape punishment because the
de ed was done not in mslice bat in
misguided kindness. But no person
has the right to Judge when
an"ther's time has come. The

JUDGED BY THE FRUIT

When you see acrons growing
on a tree you know that tree is not
an apple tree. When you see a
man elected as a peoples repre-
sentative, working for the private
interests of a few men and against
the interests Of the people, you
know that man does not represent
the people.
The people cannot control the
acts of the men they elect IA
representatives unless they have
the initiative. referendum and
recall. AS results of the lack of
control over the public servants,
the people have a mixture of
judicial inscription executive neglect
or incompetence legislative bribery
and misrepresentation.
No man with any sense turn his
business over to his employees and
gives up the right to control their
acts. No sensible man hires a
lawyer or a clerk for two or four
years and makes contract that
during that time he shall lave
nothing to say about what is done
by the clerk or the lawyer. But
this is the system we use in gov
eminent.
The people want good fruit from
the government tree. They can
get it by taking control through
the initiative, referendum and
recalls. F. Star.

GRAIN SHOCKING MACHINE

The days Of shocking grain by
hand are numbered if a report
from Centerville, Iowa, is correct.
Newspaper reports have it that
G. r. Raney of that city has in
vented an attachment for binder
which does the work succe ssfully.
The following is a description of
the device:
The machine is attached to the
binder, runs on two wheels and
follows directly behind where the
sheaves are thrown from the
knotter. An arm relieves the
sheaf on point spikes, and carries
it back in semi-circle. placing it
IN the holder where the shock is
formed, butts back. When the
holder is full it dumps automati-
cally, turning the shock up on end
and firmly placing it on tire
ground. The shock is ii cd about
with piece of binder Irvine before
being dumped. 1t thus stands
securely in all winds and the heads
being held firmly together and
they do not bleach out or take
water in case of rain. Farmers
say it will NOR. than pay for
Irvine required in the grain saved
from scattering out by tue old
method. Those who saw it work are
confident Mr.. Raney has a practicl
invention which will soon be used
on all binders. 1t weighs about
400 pounds and seems to be just
II e thing to take of the side draft
and steady the binder.
