PLUNGES into
CROWD

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. g.
Just as Colonel Roosevelt began
speaking at the fair grounds in
Hamline, near here today, a run
away horse plunged into the
crowd about the stand. Seven
persons were injured and were
taken to hospitals. Thirty others
were knocked down and suffered
lesser injuries.
More than thirty men, women
and children were trampled by
the maddened horse within few
feet of where Colonel Roosevelt
was speaking. Roosevelt SEEM
ed unmoved by the tumult and
continued his address in an effort
to reassure the throng. The horse
stopped plunging when the crowd
became so dense that 1t could not
proceed further and was dragged
down by a dozen hands. None
of the injured is expected to die.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Annie Raj

whose face has been described as
that of the Madonna, is free to-
day. through the humanitarianism
of Judge Hines of the charge
which might have sent her to the
renitentiary. She recently came
here from her country home to
throw acid in the face of her lover
who had given his love to another
girl.
She told a story of love and
sacrifice that brought tears to the
eyes of the Judge and prosecutor
and appealed to a higher law than
man had made. This is her story.
Annie Raffleson first looked
Romance in the face when she
was 16. To her fathers farm i'll
Sheboygan, Mich, came a Russian
peasant boy named Abraham Mil
zenmacher.
He was hungry and penniless.
Annie gave him food and her
father gave him employment. He
wore old, ill-fitting clothes, aid
had the slouch of the peasant,
but the romantic girl looked
deeper and saw strength and
fineness and beauty.
Then began Annie Rafflescn's S

my life to him.

his days work on the farm was
done, we would sit together by
lamplight, far into the night.
"He was eager to learn, and ]
was SO happy to help him! We
went through the primary school
books, and soon he was able to
enter the higher grades of the
country school.
"He loved me then. The les

Is A Sacred Thing.
Spokesman Review).

Personality is sacred thing.
Whether one accept or reject the the
ory that God created man in his own
image and likeness and pronounced
his work good, whether one believe OF
doubt that there is a divine element
in men, practically all Americans
hold to the divineness and sacredness
of man as man.
These qualities pass over from men
to the works of men. Society and
political institutions have sacred
ness of their own.
The presidency of the American
democracy, the headship of more than
80 900 900 self-governinR people, is
clothed with real sanctity.
1t is sacred because it expresses and
incarnates the sovereignty Of the peo-
Pile, who are the fount of authority
and the source of law and power.
The sacredness of personality en-
bodied in the supreme Office that en-
bodies the personal authority of over
80, 600 900 Americans who have dele
gated their sovereignty to one man
for four years.
The American presidency is the
most august of human authorities in
the sphere Of secular government.
Not even the king of England nor
the emperor of Russia compares in
this respect with the president of the
United States They represent mere
lv the tradition of inherited and exter-
nal authority over their subjects. He
stands forth as the people themselves
through their fellow citizen exercising
sovereignty. Lack of respect for the
presidency would result in loss of
reverence for he people.
The presidency has been glori6ed
by the craftsmanship Of Washington
and sanctified by the martyrdom Of
Lincoln.
1t has been held up by Jefferson
end Madison, by Roosevelt and Taft,
as presidents. to the lofty level to
which the father and the saviour of
his country each lifted it.
A president is not merely the first
citizen of the United States, but is
that plus the public and Official citi-
zenship of all Americans as embodied
in his high Office.
1t ought therefore to be held in rev.
erence by every, citizen, for IL ex-
presses him at his largest and best as
an American.
Loss of reverence for what the
presidency stands for would inflict
grave damage on American character
and American life.

THE DANDELION
Many Lawns In Heppner
Badly Infested.

Having noted that many of the
lawns of Heppner are being taken by
dandelion, our friend, J. T. Knappen-
berg, of lone, sends up the following :
The most effective and practicable
method OF clearing dandelion infest-
u lawn, other than by hand digging,
is by the use of iron sulphate applied
as spray. The writer has succeeded
with three applications in entirely
killing all plants Of this common lawn
pest without iniuIing the grass. A
portion Of the lawn SO badly infested
that hardly anything but dandelions
was visible year ago is now without
a single plant and the grass has thick
ened good deal in consequence.
A solution of copperas or iron sui.
phate made by dissolving at the rate
of Ia pounds of the salt in gallon
of water should be applied to the
lawn with sprav pump so as to wet
every. plant. 1t will not do to use a
common sprinkler. The solution must
be put on in the form Of fine spray
applied with some force to be most
effective. A common bucket spray
pump, or even a hand atomizer. for
very small areas. is suitable, provid-
ing it makes a fine, forcible spray.
Dc not try to hit the dandelions only,
but cover every square inch of the
lawn. In this way all Seeding plants
will be killed. Put on a second ap-
plication in two to three weeks and
third and possibly fourth late in the
summer il any of the dandelions start
into growth. The grass will be black
ened for short time, but soon recov-H
ers and after a watering and moving
will appear darker green than before.
DO not allow the solution to get on
cement or stone walks as it produces
rather permanent yellow stain.
