THIS ONES ABOUT FRED.

Not long ago Frederic J. Haskin, the newspaper syndicate writer, published long line of articles exposing the evils of the tipping system and pointing out that any man who permitted himself to be separated from tips was loose in the head and not fit to travel without guardian.
 Well, Haskin," Vice President sherman told him, soon after the publication of the articles, T suppose you live up to what you write, and never give a tip?' Well, not exactly" exclaimed Hasl1in All the bell hops and hotel walters re- member my name now, and as soon as register at Q hotel, they begin to show me that tips are indispensable. They have converted me. Whenever I enter hotel now, begin by tipping the man who takes my grip, and my progress through the house is a rain of silver ccins. '-The Popular Magazine.

The Effect on Rank and File

Those politicians who defend the enor- nous increases in tax assessments in Jefferson county have way of speaking of 'big business with a sheer just as if this whole community and the entire population of the United States, as for that matter, were not dependent in very large measure on the prosperity of the captains of industry" said a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
 T have always been able to make good living, but I have not accumulated much realty. But the excessive taxation in this county hurts me. because it hurts the taxpayer who employs me. Taken in its broad sense, everything that has tendency to retard business is felt by the individual, be he rich or poor The recent tax increases unquestionably affect inju- riously the rank and file-restaurant walters, common laborers, and the great army of wage workers in mines, mills and factories.
 All the citizens of this district should take the same view and unite in any eff fort to oppose legally the proposed in- creases."

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Appreciation of Underwood

During my three weeks trip east l met many representative business men who spoke in strong praise of Oscar Un- derwood,' said Col. w. B. Leedy.
 At Atlantic City I met many Under wood admirers. I am not one of those who think that if Roosevelt is the re- publican nominee for President he will sweep the country. I found very solid sentiment among business men who vote, but take no active part in party politics. They said they would not vote for Roose- welt, but that they would gladly vote for Underwood. These are the men who usually vote the republican ticket"
 Colonel Leedy returns looking younger. He is the picture of health.

Files fin Hotel Cafe

T am a stranger passing through Bir- mingham. and had breakfast at fash ionable hotel cafe" said person of cul- ture and extensive travel.
 ''It gives one a poor idea of the city to have flies swarming over the food, soiled menu cards and worn linen. If flies were thick in the dining room, what must they be in the kitchen? In this age of hygiene and sanitation, flies should not be toler- ated in any first class public house. Cheap restaurants should be fiyless, or practically so, and as for places charging good prices there is no excuse for flies swarmng in the cafe"

The Church and Reform Movements

Few American periodicals measure up
 in popularity to Life" said a professional
 man. "Lifes editorials are always spark
 ling. They are often cynical, but the cynicism is directed at shams and Is nearly always relished.
 Tn this weeks Life. however. cynicism is very much over done in the article entitled, The Church and the Social Evh, Jane Addams, in her recent address on the Social Evil, refers to the attitude or both society and the church towards the evil in question as having always been 'irreligious.' Life says that Jane Addams is right In stating that the church has never taken any active interest in any reform measure that would be of practical benefit to the human race It says fur ther that the church deals with unknown quantities. that the known quantities are too trivial to notice.
 Such remarks are not only unl1ind, but they convey a glaring untruth. The church from the earliest times has been engag ged in charity work, or as it might be called today, social service. Every considerable denomination or organization of Christians, or what is termed the church, has been conspicuous in benefac- tons. and in various sorts of moral work. Infidels and cynics who sheer at the church are not the men who are doing much for ethical progress. If the doors of all the churches of the world were closed tomorrow never to be opened again, it would be only a question of time when society would relapse into barbarian.
 Many men any many women, who are not connected with any church, are nu- manitarians and do untold good in anaeliorating the conditions of the poor and afflicted, but that institution known as the Christian church is the center from which all benevolent acts spring either directly or indirectly. It was ever so."

being the case, and the fact coming
forth that the officials OF Milwaukee
are charged with "hurrying John
Schrank to the penitentiary,' 1t also
, becomes evident that the laws of the
nation, those governing freedom OF
speech" are in immediate need OF
being revised and amended. II
John Schrank Is insane, so was Gui-
teau and so was Czolgosz and the
same evident reasons which led to
their mental sickness has been the
founder of his mental sickness.
Just so long as the street corners
OF Americas cities fester with anar-
chy, just so long as people assemble
to listen to disgruntled mental inc
briates attack the laws and
the constitution of the country, just
that long will be weaker minded OF
anarchistic tendencies succumb to the
alurements of the red flag while the
germ of assassination enters the cells
of their diseased brains and imbues
them with the insane idea that they
are the chosen of God to free this
world from the evils with which it Is
threatened.
The attack upon the officials OF
Milwaukee over the manner in which
the insane would-be assassin OF
Theodore Roosevelt is being prelim-
inarily tried, is unjust and uncalled
for. 1t emanates from the source
peopled with those who cry out
against the administration of all JUS
tice and declaim against all govern
ments.
The assassination of Garfield, the |
assassination of Mckinley, the at
assassination OF Roosevelt |
and the present cry that Schrank Is |
being "railroaded without fair
trial all cry loudly to the national |
lawmakers for an amendment to our |
laws which will regulate the free
dom of anarchistic speech.

WILL SCARANK BE RAlLRoADED

l. L
DISPATCHES from Milwaukee, Wis,
state that it is charged that the OIL
ficials of Milwaukee county are hur-
rying John Schrank, the confessed
would-be assassin of Theodore Roose-
welt. TO the penitentiary, through
form of hearing without giving him
n fair trial. Because of these charg-
es, Municipal Judge A. C. Bachus
has directed that the five allenlsts
who have been selected to inquire in
to Schranks sanity be given further
time in which to conduct the "lun-
itico inquirendo.
Judge Bachus is quoted as saying:
THE appointment of the alienlsts
was an extra measure to insure the
fendant that he may have every
safeguard of his rights thrown about
him"
The same Judge has, also, appointed
one of the leading members Of the
Milwaukee bar to lefend the man and
so far as the unbiased an can see, has
done all in his power to see that he
receives a fair trial in court OF
iustice-a trial such as would have
been given him were he on trial for
feionious assault committed upon the
person of one of the humblest Of AM
erlcas citizens.
1t seems to persons of unbiased 1udg-
men that the man who, either through
mental debility or pure depravlty,
sought to act as Judge. jury, and eX-
ecutioner Of one of Americas great
citizens, Is being afforded every fair
means of escaping the punishment
which he evidently so richly deserves.
The fact that he seeminly belongs
to that fanatic element of the GRIM
inal world. fostered and made pos
sible by the lax American laws oil
freedom of speech to all, Is not
being brought to bear against him III
his preliminary fight for freedom.
A fair minded and impartial Judge has
it seems, Selected for him an able
and a talented member of the Milwau-
kee bar and has seen that com
mission of experts in mental ailments
have been given all the latitude nee
essary in examining his mental con-
dition.
While there can be little if any,
doubt of the seeming fact that John
Schrank is a mental nonenity, 1t is
also evident that. if such be the case
ne belongs to the class that are
known as dangerously insane. This

PROGRESS Of
JEFFR|ES TRIAL
STATE EXPECTED TO SPRING
SURPRISE TODAY BY PRODUC-
ING HUSBAND OF DEAD WOMAN

Claremore, Okla, Nov. lit Is
expected that the states attorney in
the Jeffries murder trial will spring
a surprise when the case is called
again Monday morning, by producing
as witness Len Goheen, husband OF
the dead woman, whom the defense
has alleged may be the man who &C
tually committed the murder. -
Attorney Tillo,son of Nowata, one
of the prosecutors, admitted Satur-
day evening that Goheen had been
located at Trinidad, Colo, and that
transportation and expense money
had been wired him. He stated that
The state had every reason to sus-
pect that Goheen will be on hand
when the trial opens Monday morn
ing.
Just what the state expects to show
by Goheens testimony is not known
and the attorneys would let drop no
hint of what line of questioning would
be taken up when the man is placed
on the stand. Those Interested in
the trial are all agog with excitement
and anxious to see what new devel-
opments his testimony will uncover.
During the trial of the case Satur-
day before adjournment, tracks found
in the field at the time the body was
discovered were introduced in evil
dence for the purpose of showing the
kind of soil in the field.

Love is the publication of the heart

motive and nobler aim to every ac-

and the power to love truly and devot-
edly is the noblest gift with which a

is sacred fire that must not be burnt
