Clark of the democrats.
Taft and LaFollette are fight

The result followed the hottest

lette was the only candidate per-
sonally in the field though each
candidate had large speaking
force. 4.
In Los Angeles Roosevelt won
8 to over Taft, and to l over

Was 1t heredity, environment
or the panic of '93 that put Rob-
ert l.. Lee into the railway busi-
ness?
He doesn't know and it really
doesn't matter, but anybody that
ever goes into the local Hartman
ticket office can see at a glance
that he is in 1t all over.
In the first place Lees father
was a railway engineer. But like
many a brave fellow he stuck to
his post and went down in a
wreck and died when little Robert
was three. This was back in
Wilkesbarre, Pa, and his mother
moved to California and young
Robert started to school.
Watched Stage Coach.
Every night and morning the
stage coach came dashing through
the little town of Sommersville,
With blast of bugie and crack OF
whip the coach rolled. in, the pas
sengers jumped off, the mail
pouch dropped and then with a
hurrah the stage swept down the
hill again In a cloud of dust.
The stage coach business al
ways brought the children to the
windows. Young Robert longed
to be on it and be going. 1t may
have been the blood of the engi-
neer in him.
At IL he got as close as he
could to that stage by working in
the postoffice nights and morn
ings and going to school. AS he
grew older he gravitated to the
express office, getting a little
nearer the railway business. Then
as part of the express office
work he got to selling tickets.
He grew to manhood, saved
couple of thousand dollars and
heard about the boom in Tacoma.
He landed here in 1890. Drop
ped his $4,000 into a bunch of
real estate, sold 1t out few days
later and began duplicating the
trick. Before he knew it he was
out of the railway business into

will society have its revenge for
a crime which made civilization
shudder.
1t is not a pleasant duty to re-
count Richeson's perfidy and in
human acts. All that Is sensitive
and good in ones nature gags at
the mans infamy. Ordained to
preach of spiritual life and to
better human conditions, he be-
trayed and then stilled a loving
heart, and did 1t with brutal de-
liberation and fiendish genius.
Through the mistakes and evil
of others, however, society learns
that the rewards of virtue are
real.
There could be no more
pointed proof that the wages
of sin is death than is found
in the case of this Boston
minister.
Scientists like the great Dar-
win declare that morality, hatred
OF indecency, is a modern virtue
sprung from civilizations power
to command self, through inheri-
tance, habit, instruction and re-
ligion. There is no recent par
allel to this remarkable case of
reversion from the highest plane
OF civilization to depth of alb
solute savagery.

The poisoning of Miss Avis Lin
nell, Oct. IA, 1911, the detec-
ton and arrest of Richeson six
days later, his terrible act of self
mutilation, Dec. 20, and his
amazing confession. Jan. 8, are
we'll known.
Those facts stamped Richeson
as a remarkable criminal, but
but the lesson that his case
teaches is more to be found in
the smaller Incidents. These show
how, inch by inch, he tore down
with lustful hands the moral fab
ric of his once spiritually en-
dowed soul.
From the time Richeson first
began to live double life two
mean motives seem to have con-
trolled him-selfishness and van
ity. His baser nature continu-
ally cried me !me! mel"
Lust, greed, consuming
selfishness, vanity, made him
first a liar, then a hypocrite,
then a thief and finally the
wOlfish monster that knew
no reason and respected no
law.
Richeson's early history shows
him to have been a clever, earn
est student. Spiritually in
clined and delighting in oratory,
he naturally accepted the minis

the flock allowed his own ideals
to wither and his mind to degen-

The tall, slender, dark Vir-
ginian, with the features of
an Apollo, somber in his
sacred garb, was the man of
the hour. No wonder that
whoIe-souIed, merry-eyed,
