Charleroi in the mining region an at
tempt was made today to blow up the
residence Of a rich mining operator.
Reports from Mons say that consider
able property in that commune has

OF Kansas.

The militant insurgent from Wichita
was speaking Of ideas which he had
gained. not as the result Of swivel
chaic eogitations about the House office
building. not even as the result of
much mixing with his House colleagues
about the cloak;rooms. but as the re-
suit of much going to and fro through
the land this spring in political cam
paigns.
Roosevelt Worker.
The fact Is that some of the hardest
blows struck for Roosevelt in recent
months have been struck by Murdoch.
He has done much speaking in Ohio
and in New Jersey, as we'll as in other
States. In the course Of his campaign
ing in the primary tights, he has been
busily engaged in his favorits occupa-
tion of finding out what the plain folks
are thinking about.
And one Of the convictions that have
been forced on Murdock's mind is that
the progressive movement has come for
q long stay. He does not believe 1t Ii
a mere passing wave, something ephem-
eral, to be succeeded by reaction tomor-
row. He looks rather for a steady iE.
sistence by the people for human rights
Therefore, he thinks the people are moi
only going TO vote for the man they
think progressive next fall, but thai
they are going to- hold him and the
party back of him up to a high stand
ard Of performance.
Of Great Importance.
Congressman Murdoch feels that under
the circumstances the Republican plat
form Is Of great Importance. He be
lieves it should be something new IL
the way Of platform productions, ant
that 1t should be so short, plain, anC
simple that everybody will understand
it's meaning.
Most platforms are too long," says tn
Kansas statesman. They are too ap
ing. Everybody wants to hitch some
thing on here and something else there
and the result Is likely to be a mer
patchwork. Some one ought to write
platform OF about a thousand word
which would sum up in the cleares
way possible just what the party stand
for"
illustrating the aroused sentiment fl
the country on the subject Of progress
sivism. Congressman Murdoch said h.
had never seen such campaign a.
the recent one. in New Jersey.

I have never before seen them, even II

Fbody OF Sigrid Eckstrom. a six-year-
old school girl in the basement of a
building at 1917 Ogden avenue. the
Bronx, next door to her home. Her
body had been horribly mangled.
Belief that mad man is prowling
about that section Is strengthened by
the fact that within the past ten days
eight mysterious fires OF incendiary orr
gin have been started in the vicinity.
A crude effort had been made by the
supposed maniac to hide the body of
his little victim Rocks were piled
around the body and pieces of wood
were driven into the ground about the
remains.

PUBLIC OPINION

BRIDGE Company Does Not Fix Rates.
To the Editor of The Gate City:
In your issue of the 21st appears
an article, inspired, presume. N
which by inference the Bridge Com
#pany is placed in the attitude OF hold
ing up business by an increase OF
tolls.
Let me say as plainly as can word
it that the Bridge Company have no
voice in fixing any kind of tolls. The
ordinance fixes them for highway
travel and the various railroads or
this section fix the tolls by agreement
for the bridges from Quincy to Bur
lington and in doing so do not SO
much as say to the bridge companies,
s-by your leave
Let me illustrate. II you viii re-
fer to Western Trunk Line Tariff
No. SIS you will find that tolls on coal
are fixed for this section at 30 cents
per ton If you go farther and in
vestigate you will find that coal
from Buffalo, N Y, to Hamilton, H.,
lis carried for s2.79 per ton but if it
comes over to Keolsuk that thirty
cents is added.
Not one solitary commodity can be
named on which the railroads do not
fix toll higher by a considerable
amount than the Bridge Company
ask them to pay as a fair proportion
of what they have already collected
! from their customers. 1t is true the
/ Wabash are routing coal in here via
Hannibal but that is for punishment
to the Bridge Company for presuming
to ask a reasonable divide Of what
/ they charge.
4 However when you remember that
lin thus diverting the coal they are
hauling coal for nearly 10 miles in
to Hannibai some of it for less than
50 cents a ton and that the C. B.
10. bring coal from Hannibal to Keo
kuk for less than thirty cents per tor
you may ask yourself whether the
4 consumers in Keckuk are not beins
severely punished when called on t
pay s1.00 per ton for the 125 mil,
haul from Springfield.
If coal can be hauled from Blue
Mound, H., into st. Louis, distance
of 100 miles for go cents and q
, cents tolls be paid there, why can
it be hauled into Keokuk from Spring
field for less than s1.00 when they d,
, not pay the bridge company anythin!
like that toll?
Yours respectfully,
]. H. COLE.

Let your boys be boys.
Don't cram religion down their
throats, but let them absorb It.
Don't deny them any legitimate
sport consistent with their proper
physical and moral development.
If boy has stubborn disposition
direct that stubborness into the right
channels and he will make name fol-
himself.
Incuicate habits of cleanliness, fol
a healthy body Is a great help TO

/ 1t is sometimes good thing to put

What our Ex-Presidents Did.

Kansas City Times: 1t is taken fo1
granted that Mr.. Taft will resume the
practice OF law in Cincinnati after
March 4. Fortunately he is under
stood to have enough private re-
sources to enable him to live com
Portable irrespective of his practice.
AS President Roosevelt suggested
several years ago in discussing the
problem of the ex-president, man
who has been out Of the regular work
of his profession long enough to be-
come President is usually out of touch
with it's developments and is not in a
position to do work of the first order.
I"Pecple may employ him occasion
ally Mr.. Roosevelt said, ION account
of his name. But they usually have
somebody else to do the real work"
President Harrison was one con
| spicuous exception TO this rule He
was able to take up the practice of
law successfully after the expiration
| of his term. In trying one case an
opposing lawyer remarked that he
hoped that his distinguished op-
ponent's political honors might not
have undue influence. The ex-presi.
dent replied with a bow that he hoped
so, too.
General Grant tried to make liv-
1 ing in Wall street after he had return
ed from his tour around the world
The disastrous results are still fresh
lin mems minds.
4 1t was the good fortune Of Presi
dent Hayes to have sufficient private
resources to maintain him, and he de
voted himself to the development oil
his estate in Ohio, and to educational
and philanthropic activities after his
term had expired
Mr. Cleveland supplemented his in
come after his retirement by writing
magazine articles before he accepted
the position of trustee for the Equit
able Life.
