A thing that happens once may be an ac-

There is a big SOMETHING at the bot

NO man can live unto himself, nor can
a town live unto itself nor upon itself.
Towns never are where the surrounding
country can't support them, for towns are
merely the clearing house for the country.
The more country that clears through a
town, the bigger the town, in order to accom-
modate the business The richer and more
active the country becomes, the iercer and
stronger becomes the rush of business

Atlanta-the Rairoads-reach far over the

Our Southland has overcome the devasta-

to learn new ways to increase the produc-

But even vet, think Of the miles Of idle lands,
the dormant minerals. the vet baby manu-

1t may seem fal-fetched to talk about
these things in boosting Atlanta dirt but
these very things are the sure foundations of

There is no way to limit the growth of

factions Of the party.
The convention first met at Charles.
ton April 20. After wrangling for sew.
eral days and nights over the slavery
question the convention was unable
to agree on a declaration of prin.

withdrew, and on account of the two
thirds rule those who remained failed
to nominate ticket. The convention
adjourned on the tenth day to meet
at Baltimore June IS.
There was further secession OF
delegates from the border states fol-

the Charleston convention, joined by
those from the Baltimore convention
nominated John C. Breckenridge and
Joseph Lane. Both conventions re
affirmed the platform of 1856.
The only differences grew out of the
slavery question. The Douglas plat.

TAFT AND THE SOLDIERS.

Vinton Eagle: The much published
canard that President Taft is luke
warm toward the old civil war veter-
ans was badly exploded by his visit
to Ohio the first Of the week. His
first stop was at Cleveland and he
was cordially greeted by the old vet
Grams and the TippecanOe club The
attitude of President Taft toward the
cid soldier was settled, so far as
Iowa is concerned, by Secretary
Hilles in a letter to ali Old veteran
in the western part of the state in
which he stated in unequivocal Ian.
guage that President Taft was in
sympathy with every movement tend
ing to benefit the old soldier and was
in favor of just pension law. The
decalogue itself wouldn't hold the
list of misrepresentation spread
broadcast against President Taft.

Learned economists have written
volumes explaining the reasons for
the present high cost of living. Now
comes a wag and with few strokes
of his pencil dashes off the whole
thing in few lines. The author is
a Cincinnati butcher and here is his
version of the case:

The father behind the pillow,
The mother under the COW,
The daughter feeding the SOW,
The son up in the NOV.
TODAY 1T is.
The father in the automobile,
The mother in silk and satin,
The daughter playing the piano,
The son learning Greek and Latin.

Crime When Arraigned
In Court.

Chicago, Feb 2O.-Special: Fred
Boneham, one of the four men charg-
ed with the murder ofWAIns2d hdMund
Kaufman, last December, 2 as she was
returning from the theatre with her
husband, pleaded guilty today when
the case was called for trial before
Judge Kersten in the criminal court.
Before entering the plea of guilty
the court asked Boneham if he knew
that his plea would render him liable
to the extreme penalty of the law.
IL understand that perfectly. | am
guilty and | want to make that plea"
replied Boneham.
The plea will probably result in the
defendants being tried separately.
The substance of the charge against
tho men is that they took an auto
mobile the night of December 2, 1911,
and rode around the city seeking vie
tins to rob. They encountered kauf-
man and his wife. In the attack Mrs.
Kaufman was shot and killed. Chan
nell was arrested in Chicago, Bone
ham in Paris, H., and Stacey and
Rabenau in Los Angeles.
Mr.. Kaufman, husband of the dead
woman, is a brother of Eli Kaufman,
of Knoxville, Iowa.

My sister Jane Amanda's beau,
That skinny Percy Brown, you know,
Took sis to see picture show,
And when | asked If could go,
They wasn't slow in sayin' no.
But soon as | went up to bed,
Then sis came up to me and said
That Skinny Brown was nearly dead
With 'pendicitis in his head,
And so she'd let me go instead.
| never saw a show before
Where sixteen thousand mice or more
Came running out of every door,
And fan-tailed wood chucks by the
score
We're playing marbles on the floor.
And then fish held up it's hand
And fifty more came out on land
And stood up straight just like a band
And played tune there on the sand,
And Jimmy! II sounded grand.
And then an owl that run by steam
Came dancing In to boot and scream.
And after that, siX-hOrse team
Came prancing gaily down the stream
With loads of apple pie and cream.
And fifty Indians, big and strong,
Who had their blankets on all wrong,
Came out in front to sing a song;
And then an airship came along
And blew it's horn and rang it's gong
And then | heard a donkey crow
Just like a rooster does, you know;
While fifty steamboats, in a row
Came marching in and stopped the
show,
And everybody had to go.

Resolved by the Iowa Retail

HER COURT oE LAST APPEAL

| A woman of "a died as a charity
patient in an Iowa hospital one day
last week, a woman whose brothers
denied her, whose sisters never spoke
her name to their children and whose
father had cast her off. The minister
who said the short service over her
corpse appealed to Gods mercy for
the worst of sinners and read the
story of Christ and the scarlet wo.
man as a message of hope. For this
was a lost woman, who had lived in
disrepute and died of her sins, who
had seen the inside of reformatories
and jails, had eaten vicious bread and
| faunted in silks won with shameful
wage. Men judged and condemned
her. The respectable family, OF which
she was an unmentiOned member,
drew a sigh OF relief when the sodden
cemetery clay had hidden its disgrace.
Judge and jury, they agreed in the
verdict and its penalty here and here
after. 1t was the easiest way. She
had no advocate to plead for her.
1T is good TO believe that her case
will come before the Supreme Judge
on appeal for this earthly verdict and
its penalty lacked much of justice"

hired girl had charge of the house

public dance halls and the cheap

She walked with others like her past
the hotel verandas to flirt with the
travelling men. She fingered near the
depots. And when she was II it hap
pened. The rest OF it is, LIKE the be.
ginning, the old story told over and
over unavailingly.
Perhaps when the Court of Last
Resort considers her case and those
| of others like her, ii will include in
the Indictment a multitude OF .acces-
series before the fact. AS a just
court it must consider the mothers
who prefer vanity above their own
! flesh and blood, who frivol while the
souls God granted to their care in
the sacredness of motherhood wither
and rot, fathers who indirectly con-
nived to the downfall of their own
daughters or looked on smiling and
Indifferent while other mems daugh.
tiers went out into the outer darkness.
When the facts come out in that
hall proprietor who lined innocence
to its death with music and colored
lights and the counterfeit OF gayety
go clear Of the Supreme Law; and
will We, the common citizens, who
guard our own girls be adjudged free
Of blood-guiltiness for innocence slain
under our Indifferent eyes? Even the
common law adjudges criminal he
who promotes or permits murder or
suicide which he might have prevent

God is just. When He inquiries in.
to this girls case the facts will all

fplead Il am not my brothers keeper"

the most sensational SANDER cases
ever filed in Henry county, Miss Lucy
e., Bowman, of Winfield, the alleged
victim of assault there recently has
brought suit against DR.. G.. w. Gard
ner, of Winfield, for a total of $4,000
damages. The suit was filed today
and sets out in nine separate state
ments of DR.. Gardner, all of which
are to the effect that no crime had
been committed, and that the story
of Miss Bowman in regard to the
criminal assault, was fake.
Case Creates Excitement.
II is safe to say that no case which
has been tried here in years will
create so much excitement and in
terest. Sentiment in Winfield is bad
ly divided. the town being split into
two factions over the matter. Both
Dr. Gardner and Miss Bowman have
many friends, and The case will be fol
lowed with interest.
1t is understood that Dr. Gardner
the defendant in the case, mayor Of
Winfield, and well known physician
of the county, expects to fight the
charges made against him with al
his might. Some of his friends claim
that they are glad that opportunity
is to be given to tell the facts about
the case.
