I don't know whether 1 was born so, or learned so,
or what happened to me, but know this, that the
deepest conviction L have, arising out of observa
tion and experience is that that would rather take
the Judgment of the rang and file than the judgment
OF the men who have become absorbed and success
full leaders in great undertakings.
And L want to ask these gentlemen this query::
What sustains business in the United States? What
is it that makes the United States prosperous? Is it
that we have great captains of industry? What
would they do without the cunning and skill, the
muscle and the indomitable aspiring hope of the
American people? If these people were to find hope
dying out of their hearts, they would become dumb
driven beasts, and your enterprises would fail for
lack of the very breath that sustans them
If you want to find whether a nation is prosperous
ask the men who are on the make what they hope
and what they fear Go to the country districts and
ask anxious fathers, who are looking for openings
for their sons, where they expect to get them in,
where they find doors open and where they find
doors shut. Go through the places where men are
making earnings and see whether they dread or con-
fidently look forward to the future, and then you
will find whether America is waxing or waning, for

EXPLOSION

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
= SA NANTONIO, Tex, March
18.-Fourteen persons are known
to be dead as u result of the ex-
plosion Oh locomotive i'm the
Southern Pacific yards here today.
Parts of some of the bodies were
blown several hundred feet.
Southern Pacific officials admit
that II were killed. Other esti-
mates place the number of dead as
high as 25 and 30.
The shopmen employed in the
Southern Pacific yards where the
explosion occurred are mostly
strike-breakers. The cause of the
accident has not been ascertained
and it is charged that dynamite is
responsible.
The machine and cooper shops
and a portion of the roundhouse
In which the engine was standing
were wrecked. A number of 9TH
er engines in the building were
smashed. The exploded locomo-
tive was demolished, the boiler
jacket, weighing half a ton, be-
ing block away, while 1.-The ten
der was blown hundreds of feet.
Most of the dead are so badly
mangled that they probably nev-
er will be identified. Fragments
of their bodies were blown blocks
away.
Ambulances and doctors of the
Fort Houston hospital corps were
rushed to the scene, the rescue
corps removing the corpses in
pieces. Not one whole body was
found. The injured are terribly
manned and probably the deathlist
will be increased greatly. The
explosion shattered the glas sin
hundreds of houses. The round
house took fire following the dis
aster, increasing the horror.

Here's the Story.


The Crashules, neither Of whom
can read nor write English, ara
out $500.
How bitterly earned that $500
was may be guessed from the fact
that Crashules never made more
than $1.50 day, from the fact
that they live now in shack on
land they have squatted on, In the
direst poverty.
Mrs. Crashules did, as she adj
mits, break into this empty house
and take some sticks OF furniture.
She did wrong, but she did II In
Ignorance. The shack was there,
unused. She didn't realize.
Perhaps she should be punished
for this. Ii Is greatly TO be doubt
ed II society should demand $500
of her savings. That would be
equivalent 10 at least a year, per-
haps two years in Jail.
And society did not demand this
from her.
The woman has never been ar
raigned, never been tried.
But she and her husband stand
today in deadly fear Of the law,
lest they be thrown back into .
cell again.
Attorney Sheriff., who received
the money. says he earned II as
attorneys fees.
What possible legal services
could Sherill have performed for
this couple, who never faced
court, that would be worth $500?
The woman being guilty, how
could Sherill have got her out OF
q bad scrape," as he says, by her
paying $500?
For the theory Of the law is
that people go free from jail by
proving their innocence. That
$500, nor $5,000,000 could free a
guilty man. That's the theory at
least.
Were representations made to
Crasilules, as he asserts, that he
could go free ii he would get his
wife to dig up $500 and that he
tried to beat the gfure down to
$500?
The grand Jury might ask this
question.
Roasted of Deed.
There are men In this town who
assert that at least two men figure
tried to beat the figure down %
Crashules, and that one of them
boasted how he got the woman
out, then split the money with his
confederate.
The grand jury could learn who
this statement was made to, and
force the men in question to ex-
plain.
According to T. ]. Anderson,
cashier of the First Bank Of
Wilkeson, the order for the wom-
ans money was endorsed to 6her-
i'll and In Sherill's writing, the
woman signing with a cross.
Made Her Sign.
According to the Crashules this
order was not sufficient unless
Mrs. Crashules appeared at the
bank with Sheriff.. Two days after
her release from jail here, Sheriff.
and a deputy sheriff met her on
the street, she asserts and told her
that IL she didn't go at once with
Sherill to the bank and sign over
that money, that she would be
thrown into jail again.
The woman knew the power OF
the law by this time. she went.
For she asserts that it was only
after she had refused ON May o
to sign over the $500 demanded
for her husbands release, that sho
herself was put in jail.
Was she thrown In jail because
the county officials believed her
guilty, or because she wouldn't
sign over the money!

LINCOLN, Neb., March 18.--
Fugitive convicts Gray, Morley
and Dowd met death in gun bat
tie near Gretna this afternoon, q

ing the death of Warden Dela-
hunty, Deputy Warden Charles
Wagner and Usher A. g. Heilman,
who were shot down last Thurs
day by the convicts at the Nebras-
ka state peni$tentiary.
Hemmed in barn by posses of
detectives armed with repeating
rifles, the three convicts met
death. Gray was the first to fall.
After only a few shots had been
exchanged. Then Dowd, convinced
there was no possibility of escape,
committed suicide. Morley, the
most desperate of the trio, alone
kept up the fight. For nearly an
hour his rifles cracked lonely re-
ply to the vOlleys of the posse and
when at last il became silent the
officers entered the barn and
found him dying, literally shot to
pieces.
Only limited details of the bat
tie have as yet been received here.
1t is reported that Sheriff Me-
Shane of Omaha, who was in
charge of one of the posses, was
killed in the fight.

FIRST PaE5BYTE E7IAN5
To BUILD CHURCH.

a congregational meeting was hrld
At the First Presbyterian church sun
day afternoon, attended by a goodIy
number Of influential members. The
main question discussed was The build,
ng of a new church. It was decided
to build a church-that was the princi-
pal object Of the meeting.
The question Of the location of the
new building was not brought up and
decided. There will be more argu-
ment on this matter, since the church
now owns the preseut property ahd
although it is more or less generally
admitted to be at present a somewhat
undesirable location, the question o.
increased cost of purchasing new
site is one to be considered. 1t is set
tied, however, that an excellent mod
ern editice will be erected right away.
Probably $35, 600 or $40 eco will be ex-
pended on the building.
A decided impetus is being given to
the upbuilding Of the church in all re-
speets by the untiring energy displayed
by Rev. Gilbert Glass, the pastor, un-
der whose pastorate the church is
widening its work and influence and
progressing generally to n noticeable
degree.
