CARELESSNESS BY v
PARENTS CHARGED
School Physicians Find Sew
eral Bad Cases of Eye
Trouble Recently.

Negligence by parents of their chill
dren's health SO appealing as to al
most amount to criminality has been
discovered in several of the schools
of the city by the medical examiners
appointed by the school board. The
medical examiners have found cases
where total blindness would result in
a short time if prompt steps to effect
cures are not taken.
Eight more children in the grade
schools with eyes SO badly affected
that their condition was pitiful have
been discovered and the cases refer
red to the parents with instructions
to attend to the cases referred to the
parents with instructions to attend to
the cases Immediately. Two were
found in the Vaile school, three in
the Whitewater school and three more
in the Starr school.
A good example of the difficulties
under which some of the pupils have
been laboring Is shown by the expert
ence of one small boy. His eyes were
examined. They were found deficient
Glasses were recommended by spe'
Cialist to whom the lad was taken. He
wore them, and for the first time saw
pigeons in flight and saw the tops OF
building. The lads entire life has
been changed. Before he was unable
to recognize a person on the opposite
side of a street. Now his eyesight. aid
ed with the spectacles, has improved
to a wonderful extent.
One girl. whose parents are we'll to
do, and whose eyes were known by
the parents to be deficient, had never
been in consultation with an eye spe
cialist. Her case was discovered by
the examiners. She will be supplied
with glasses, and her study work is
expected to show the effects of the
proper treatment.
One little girl in the public schools
whose ability as student showed UP
we'll in comparison with the other stu
dents in oral work. failed and failed
dismally in her written work. Her eyes
were found to be deficient. Her errors
in her school work were due to imper
! feet sight.
Two girls at the Starr school were
rescued from what in short time
would have been total blindness by the
inspection which disclosed the fact
that they were affected with short
sightedness. This affection OF the eyes
Is progressive. 1t never gets better
except with treatment and glasses
and in a short time without attention
the girls without a doubt would have
been blind

SPRINGFIELD, Neb., March %


SPRINGFIELD, Neb., March 29.-
Threats of lynching were openly made
at the coroner's inquest into the death
of Roy Blunt, the young farmer seized
as hostage by convicts Morley, Dowd
and Grey. The inquest was held in the
opera house. Blunt was killed in the
battle between the sheriff's posse and
the convicts. 1t is alleged that Chief
of Police Briggs of South Omaha
killed Blunt. The crowd threatened to
lynch the man found responsible by
the coroner for Blunt's death. More
than one thousand farmers came to
Springfield to attend the inquest.
Briggs came to Springfield with
eighteen of his friends, who were all
heavily armed. These friends formed
circle about the police chief as he
entered the opera house waiting to be
summoned as witness. The clothing
worn by Blunt at the time of his death
was brought in as an exhibit. Mrs.
Blunt tainted and was carried from the
room. The sight of the clothes so en-.
gagged the crowd that after a brief in.
spection by the coroner's jury they
were removed from sight. There were
audible mutterings throughout the
room when the exhibit was held up for
view.

Ex-President Stands for Pro-
tective Tariff, but for a
Squarer Deal for Farmers
and the Workmen.
FARMERS MUST NOT
BEAR WHOLE BURDEN
And Prosperity Must Get
Down Past the Office and
Be Distributed Among the
Wage Farmers.
(National News Association)


ALBERTLEA, Mimi. March %
Taking the tariff as his subject Col.
Roosevelt spoke here today deliver
ing the third set speech Of his western
trip. He called for a square deal for
the farmer and wage worker. saying.
I'VE believe this country Is committed
TO the principles Of the protected tar
In, treated honestly as a principle and
not as bundle OF preferences so that
the benefits and burdens may be thor
oughly and evenly distributed. and
special privilege eliminated. We do not
believe In any unwarranted profit for
anybody, but we do believe in a stand
ard Of protection adequate to maintain
the high standard of living maintained
by American citizens. The prime need
OF any future revision Of the sched-
ules or In any future arrangement
whatsoever affecting the tariff is to
protect the interests of the farmers
and wage earners. There must be no
alteration of the tariff which compels
the farmer to bear the whole burden.
The welfare Of the man who lives by
tilling the soil is vital to the welfare
of the nation. and everything that can
strengthen him in his social and indus
trial life should be done. The Ameri-
can farmer is willing to bear his fair
share OF whatever Is done, but he
must not be asked to do more.
The Wage Farmers.
I'm any manufacturing. or mining or
similar interest the welfare of the
workers should be the prime test Of
the working Of the tariff.
I'VE wish to see prosperity come to
all our great industries, but unless the
prosperity gets down past the Office
then 1t IL not the right kind Of pros.
perity. in other words while the wage
worker IL glad to have his employer
get his full share of the prosperity, yet
in return the wage worker has the
right to insist, and we do insist for
him, that fair share Of the prosperity
gets down past the ONCE to be distrib-
uted among the men who work with
their hands"
The ex.president quoted extensively
from a speech he delivered at Sioux
Falls on September 8, 1910. In this he
said in part:
1T has been conclusively shown by
experiments repeated again and again
that the methods of tariff making by
congress-. which have obtained for
many years. cannot from the very ma.
ture Of the case bring really satisfac-
tory results. With the present tariff
made by the same methods as it's pred.
ecessor and that predecessors prede-
cessor, there Is great dissatisfaction
The people know that there are some
things in 1t which are not right and
therefore tend to suspect. as l think
more numerous things in it which are

A Dramatic incident.
The Taft defeat yesterday was due
