An ancient japanese custom was
revived in that country a few days
ago when General Nogi, the hero of
Port Arthur and military councillor
of the empire, together with his wife,
the countess Nogi, committed suicide
as a final tribute to their departed
emperor and friend whose funeral
ceremonies were then in progress.
Their plans had been carefully
prepared in advance. The general
first wrote a letter to the new emperor,
which was later found beside Ills
body a portrait of the late emperor
wa draped in mourning after which
the general and his wife dressed them
selves in full Japanese costume and
sat down to await the signal they had
agreed upon for their leave taking.
As a gun in the palace yard doomed
out the announcement that the body
of the dead emperor was starting on
the funeral car for it's last resting
place the general grasped a short
sword and plunged it into his throat,
while the countess stabbed herself
through the body.

RECOMMENDED TO GOVERNOR
MCGOVERN.

The frank avowal by Gov. Hadley
of his reasons for remaining in the
republican party q standing square
~ On the national platform may
properly be recommended to G vernon
McGovern.
The Missouri executive is q sound
a progressive" as the governor of
this state and he fought as v~aliantly
for "progressive' principles at the
Chicago convention.
But Gov. Hadley. once the ques-
ton arose as to the loyalty of the
Roosevelt supporters who remained
in the republican party tc that party
and it's ticket, did not hesitate to
declare just where he stood and he
does so again today, for nation wide
consumption, in a signed article.
In spite Of all that may be charged
against certain elements in the re-
publican party, Gov. Hadley will
not concede that it "has ceased 10 be
a useful agency for good govern
ment." He says:
[ believe a large majority of the re-
publican voters believe in progress
siVe politics and principles of
government, and that those voters can
make their opinions effective through
the existing party machinery. And
l believe that the success Of progress
sive principles can be more promptly
and effectively accomplished through
the republican party than by the
organization of a third party.
After praising the republican plat
form for it's progressiveness, the
governor concludes:
These considerations in favor Of
remaining in the republican party are
general and apply in the case of any
member of the party. Speaking from
a personal standpoint, I have felt that
as the head of the republican party in
the fifth largest republican state in
the union and the largest republican
state west of the Mississippi. as the
captain of the ship for the time being,
not be among the first to
abandon it. and that l should not
abandon it at all unless fully con
WINGED that it is going down.
This is straightforward, candid,
talk it is the kind of talk which
republicans. third termers and the
people as a whole have a right to
hear from a republican executive in
his political year of grace, especially
if he is running for reelection on the
republican ticket. - Milwaukee Free

SAILOR BOYS DROWNED
SIX NAVY RECRUITS LOSE LIFE
IN LAKE MICHIGAN.
Hundreds See Lads Die in Waves Al
most in Reach as Their Boat
Capsizes.

Chicago, Sept. 16.-Six boys, re-
cruits at the United States naval
training station at North Chicago. lost
their lives in a Lake Michigan
tragedy.
The dead:W. E. Antrobus, Chica-
go; r. c. Harlan, Memphis, Tenn; /.
L. Southworth, Nashville, Tenn; John
Wallace; John Patten, petty officer,
Detroit, Mich; A. L. Raymond.
Twenty-three boys, one able sea.
man, who was a petty officer, and an
other petty officer, set forth early for
4 pleasure sail. They became help
less in a gale, fought their way al
most to the shore, and the tragedy oc-
Cured within n hundred feet OF
frantic people OF the beach.
All but one was able to swim IN
der Ordinary conditions, but could DO
nothing against the high wind and
heavy surf.
One man, who battled ~valiantly
against the storm and saved two lives
besides his own, is raving in delirium,
declaring that he was responsible for
he loss OF life. That was William
Negus, petty officer and able seaman.
1T was my fault" he cried. 4 could
have saved them. l could have
oeached the boat, and they would all
nave reached Shore
But Captain w. f. Fullam. COM
ilandant of the station, who saw the
tragedy, declared that Negus did all
that he could have done when he
dropped anchor near the short.
Hundreds See Boys Drown.
In full view of hundreds of people
along the shore the boa& capsized.
The lake was alive with struggling
boys. Many of them had never been
in rough water before. They were
Of the newest recruits.
They struck out strongly for the
shore, but there was an undertow in
addition to the heavy waves. Three
boys got almost within arms reach
of rescuers when they were snatched
back by the sea and went down.

AS goes Maine. so. goes the union"
IS an old political proyerb which has
in many campaigns proven true. The
Maine state election is held earlier
than those of other states. and the
test of political strength in numerous
campaigns has frequently been measur-
ed there and found a true barometer
of how the country was going to go a
few weeks later. Two years ago
Maine went democratic by a decisive
majority and a democratic wave swept
over the country to an extent that
wiped out the republican majority
in the lower house Of congress and
made that branch strongly democratic,
thus rendering it impossible for
President Taft's policies to be carried
out as planned. 1t was also the
foundation for the new courage Great
ed for democratic chances of victory
In the s5nt campaign. Great
efforts hav, Jeen made b7 both of the
old political parties to secure the
victory in Maine this year and speak
ers of national reputation have
stumped the state from one end to the
other Leading democratic papers
frankly accepted in advance the
omen that the Maine result would
5~Toreshadow the national verdict in
November, banking on the great
personal popularity of Gov. Plaisted
to again carry him to victory. In
the electi(n of last week the republi-
can candidate for governor, Haines.
defeated Plaisted by a decisive !
majority n of the two congressional
districts lost by the republicans two
years ago was won back and the
Legislature will again be republican,
[nsuring another republican .. S.
senator. Whether or not the old
omen will again hold good. as it has
SO often done, republicans have much
reason for encouragement in the way
Maine has last spoken.

ANOTHER STATE TICKET PRO
BABLE.

The Bull Moosers held treir state
convention in Milwaukee last week
with a small attendance. The sensa.
tional attacks upon Senator LaFol-
lette, which it had been announced
would be made by Senator Poindexter
of Washington and Gov. Johnson, Of
California. were not forthcoming,
although there we've yelled illusions
and a few slaps upon the wrist
administered by Medill Mccormick.
No state ticket vas placed in nomina-
ton, but a state committee was
selected and it was directed to hold a
meeting not later than Sept. 90, fol-
lowing the state republican platform
convention of yesterday and today, and
in case no stats ticket was in the field
at that time which the Bull MooseEs
can consistently support in whole or
in part, then the said committee is
authorized and directed to make such
nominations as to insure a complete
state ticket, every candidate of which
will support the candidates OF the Bull
Moose party and be in sympathy with
the principles thereof.
This means. as was stated by n of
che leading figures in the convention,
that unless McGovern and other candi-
dates on the republican ticket come
out squarely in favor of Roosevelt,
a ticket will be placed in the field
against them as was done by the Bull
Moosers in Illinois. While it is COM
monty believed that Gov. McGovern
is in sympathy with the Roosevelt
movement, conditions ARE such that
it is not considered probable that ne
will care to come out in support there
of. Should he do so there is strong
reason to believe that the Taft sup
porters will also place a ticket in the
field against him. This all means
that the republican platform conven
tion will be a most interesting affair

The Acquiring of Women

From the Commercial Tribune
One hardly knows whether to IN
graduate men on the fact that it is
almost impossible to get a jury to
convict a woman of d capital offense
or to despair with the public prose-
cutors in several states that alleged
female malefactors escape the penalties
the laws prescribe.
This is said without reference to
several recent trials of women for
murder in which they were acquitted
by iuries. The wisdom Of a trial by
jury and of the Anglo-Saxon custom
that a person is to be considered in
nocent until proven guilty is too
manifest to make any comment ap-
plicable t. certain cases.
But while we can appreciate the
despair of a prosecutor who has work
ed hard and conscientiouslv in build
ing up a case" when he finds that
he cannot secure a conviction, OF the
whole we believe that it is for the
best that men should require an I'M
usual strength of evidence before they
convict d N At any rate it
shows what respect the men have for
the other sex, and how unwilling they
are to believe reports derogatory to
their character.
It is unquestionably true that it is
much easier to ~convicG a mar before
a jury than a woman, and for that
matter it should be. It is not senti-
m%entalism, no sympathy with the sob
SQUAD, that leads men to act in this
manner when trying a woman, but an
ingrained, deep.seated belief that the
fair sex is better than a man morally
at least and that the motives by
which they judge men are not to be
applied in judging women.
True, there seems to be quite an
epidemic of feminine crime running
around the country of late, but then
crime does usually in cycles.
The prosecutors should not despair.
| They have done their duty, but they
have run up against an element that
is not taught in the books nor provid'
/ ed for in the laws-and n that
never will be, an element cal led
human nature.

counted the struggle of Mate Negus
and ONE of his crew to save the thir-
ty-foot cutter when it was driven
before a f1fty-mile gale, past the basin
of the naval academy and onto a sand
bar near Lake Bluff.
No additional bodies were recov-
cred when the capsized boat was
righted by seamen who reached it in
the motor boat attached to the train
ing station.
Survivors of the fatal trip who an
swered to roll call are:
]. B. Nelson, w. L. Wyatt. M. N.
Stuckman, w E. Fisher, w. L. Early.
E. c. Wilde, w. K. Jackson. w. P.

H. Stanley, Fl. P. Shorrock, A. v. Kan
man, w. Pullen.
Rescued by Lake Bluff Boys.
That there were not at least three
additional fatalities was due to the
heroism of three young men. residents
of Lake Bluff-Stuart Grant. seven
teen years old; Leo Putnam, nineteen
years old, and Dwight Budd, also nine
teen years old. The young men were
walking along the shore when they
saw the cutter capsize. Without wait
ing to throw off all their clothes they
plunged into the surf and swan to the
spot where the naval apprentices were
struggling in the water.
Each Of the young ~rescuers seized
a boy and swan with him to the
shore. Grant, although pretty well
winded, again swan out to the cutter.
He headed for a boy who was hanging
onto a spar and was within ten feet of
him when the boys hold was broken
by the force Of the undertow, and he
was swept away and drowned. Grant
vas exhausted when he finally reached
the beach, but in a short time he was
aiding his companions in efforts to
revive those who had been rescued.
Negus Intended No Wrong.
Captain w. S. Fullam, commandant
at the station, said:
con Saturdays, Sundays and holi-
days the boys are permitted to use the
boats for amusement, provided they
get permission from the officer of the
day. Negus and the boys did not get
permission. Most of the boys had just
come to the station and they begged
for a boat ride. Negus finally agreed
to take them. He { int intend to do
anything wrong.
"The Loaf stuck on a sand bar while
Negus was trying to make a landing
and it was overturned. Negus saved
then went back to save others and
was drowned"
COmmandant Fullam summoned the
board Of inquest, consisting of Com,
mander w. Smith, Surgeon Stops and
Boatswain Oils.
