THE WORK OF TaE: uETO-
GRAPH

A special from Indianapolis Says
that for nearly three months Frank
M. Ryan, president, aHlf Herbart s
HockEn, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of the I'm
ternauional Associations of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers, talked i'm a
heart to heart manner unkmwingfy
before the photograph placed i'm the
headquarters by representatives OF
the federal government, who were
conducting the investigation of the
MeNamara dynamite conspiracy.
The photograph entered Rngeni0usly
into the inner cirale of the alleged
higher ups of the Mcnamara con
spiracy. 1t was planted art the rear
of Ryan's desk and just under the
top, so that Ryan, if sitting. could
not miss talking into it.
The wires from the photograph an
nunciator ran from Ryan's desk down
through the floor and into a room be
low, rented by the government. Here
sat every day two stenographers, I'm
der the direction of Rowland Evans
official stenographer of the fedora,
court, with the receiving apparatus:
at their ears. The stenographer:
worked Ia relays except at such time.
when it. was desired to take doubl,

The Miami Herald ably defends
Frank Clark for his vote in favor of
the Sherwood pension bill, for the
following reasons: The bill was in
troduced by a democrat; was unani-
moLsly reported fa7orably by demo
cratic committee; was given right of
way by a democratic majority; was
supported by the democratic leaders,
including Speaker Champ Clark and
Hon. James t. Lloyde, chairman of
the democratic national congression-
al committee; five of the seven Con-
federate members of congress voted
for the bill. which was democratic
party measure. voted for by the en-.
tire delegations of three southern
states. That ought to hold the crit
les for a while.

In our opinion Hon. w. v. Knott
VIII make mistake if he accepts
the office of comptroller to which he
has been appointed by Governor Gin
christ. His commission as state
treasurer was from the peooie OF
Florida, and we do not believe that
he has the right to surrender that
commission to accept anothe.. of a
similar nature except by the express
ed wish of the people. II for any
reason Mr.. Knott should desire TO re-
sign from the office of treasurer or if
for cause he should be removed from
office. it would be different prop,-
sition. We do not believe that the
state house variety of progressive
democracy" will meet with the ap-
proval of the people of Florida

AN UNJUST DECISION

The decision of the supreme court
OF the United States to the effect that
execution by law voids life insurance
policies may be based on good law
but certainly not on justice.
The man who invests in life insur
ance does so for the benefit of his
family, his heirs or assigns. If he
commits a capital crime and is exc
cuted therefor, the court holds that
his heirs cannot collect the policy, al
though they. may be entirely blame
less in the premises.
This is injustice on it's face
In the event the victim of the law
is innocent of the crime for which he
is executed, the injustice becomes
more pronounced
At any rate, the beneficiaries of his
policy, the innocent ones who are de.
prived of his support, however base
and despicable a criminal he may be
are entitled to the proceeds of his
forethought in their behalf.
This may not be law, but it is COM
man sense.-Tampa Tribune

FRANK cLARk's JOKE ON BRYAN

Representative Clark of Florida,
who stirred up the Everglades inyes-
tigation, the New York World says, is
the originator, promoter and presi-
dent of the TELLS How-to-v Vote
Club, with Representative Garrett of
Tennessee as secretary, and is cor
railing members at a rapid rate. Said
Mr.. Clark recently:
Whenever it appears that the DEM
ocratic majority will have to settle
some grave question of national inn
portance, such as raising the pay of
a page or allowing one of the minor
committees to take on an additional
clerk at SIS per month, we shall
deem IL our duty to ask w. J. Bryan
TO lend us his aid in voting on the
question.
When the psychological moment
arrives we will send him wire
something like this: The interests
are at work, we have reason to be-
lieve. Suspicious looking man trying

mittee. He may be in the employ of
some of the people who are trying to

eminent. Can you help us? Shall we
vote for or against his appointment?
We are in dire straits. Help"

HARMON IN KENTUCKY

Governor Harmon of Ohio wasS a
guest of the Kentucky Legislature an
Tuesday and made an address befofe
t.
We make the following extract:
The demand for direct legislation
10 aimed at the lawmakers ass a
body" he said, -and the recall at the
individual Legislators, as well as at
executive officers and judges. And
Il may fairly be said the support
these devices receive varies with the
real or supposed need of them, as
well as with opinions about tie hal
ance of advantage in them.
II belive the reform most sorely
needed now is in administration and
better results at less expense.
1T ought not to cost billion dol
lars a year. or over s11 for each man.
woman and child in the country to
maintain the federal governments with
its limited functions.
Administrative duties of the state,
county and city which are much more
numerous and expensive. cost rogeth-
er but little more per head, and that
Is far too much.
Federal expenses bear more heav
lily on the people than state and 10
cal expenses, because the latter are
raised by taxes on property only
while the former are chiefly raised
by the tariff on articles consumed.

THE HuzzARD AS A scAvENcER


The buzzard is not to be given a
high character as pet in the parlor
or at the dinner table. His value az
a scavenger has been overrated, per-
haps. Florida and South Carolina
and Louisiana and Mississippi specif-
ically protect him as public bene-
factor. Since no man is absolutely
white or entirely black, is it not pos
sible that the character of the buz.
card lies between the extremes of
praise and blame accorded him?
The enemies of the buzzard charge
that he is an active agent in the dis
semination of the germs of hog chol-
era-that having dined on the corpse
of the late diseased animal they be-
gin journey and provide new feasts
for coming days in like deaths from
the same cause. Since this is the
only charge set against the good rep
utation of the buzzard as a scaven-
ger, let us be careful how the aceus-
ed is condemned. 1t is of evidence
that, during the civil war, when the
epidemic of hog cholera in the south
threatened the sources of supply for
our armies in the field and thousands
of corpses were in evidence, the buzz
card had dfsappeared-his refusal to
feed on the tainted meat was ac-
knowledged as the reason although it
is possible that his greed occasionesi
his extinction; if so, why was nJt
his corpse in evidence?
The deer of the south ere some
times exterminated by a mysterious
malady locally known as the black
tongue in given locality. Men who
have eaten of the infected meat have
died or suffered desperate Illness; the
of the buZzard from
the woods is' accepted as the first in
fication that the deer have contract
ed the diseases. The first hunter in
the old days who noted the absence
Of the buZzard sent out warnings, and |

Lighters Being Repaired.

To be put in condition, lighter
belonging to Herbert Bryants Son of
Alexandria has been taken to Deans
railway. The lighter was used in the
transportation of oyster shells from
Washington to the crushing plant az
Alexandria, and in the spring, while
loaded, she sprang leak and sank
at the wharf Of her owner.
The big lighter of the Alexandria
Fertilizer and Chemical Company usea
in the transportation of iron pyrites
from Quantico to the sulphuric acid
plant at Alexandria was so badly dam
aged when it sank at the wharf Of its
owners that it was found to be unfit
to rebuild 1t is to be replaced with
new lighter, and contract for the
building of one has been placed with

sum of S17,O61.22 for the same pur-
pose.
Adding this s17,O61.22 expended out
of this gas fund to the $66,53O.27 ex-
pended by the city upon our puolic
SS3.591.49 as the total amount eX-
pended by the ticy upon our public
property during the fiscal years
l902-12.
n addition to the considerable sums,
before mentioned expended by the
CITY School Board for repairs to our
school property during the fiscal year
l9O2-12 considerable sums have been
likewise expended for the purpose OF
improving our other public property
out of both the general fund and the
ras fund. As these expenditures
about cover the usual wear and de-
probation of real property they add
nothing to the present value OF our
public property, and for the purpose
of this article they are ignored.
When we remember how compara-
lively small is the amount of our gross
income left after we provide for the
citv's fixed charges, and likewise re-
member our considerable outlay for
streets and sewers during the fiscal

DROP IN TEMPERATURE
Oyereoats and Wraps About to Take
the Place of Summer
Gearing

The rainy weather which set in at
the beginning of the week is giving
place to clearing conditions and cool
wave. The wind this morning was
from the north with a decided fall In
the temperature Fires were rekind-
led today in many house and overcoats
were again brought into requisition
The month of September, 1912, will
soon be pass into history. The first
half was marked by sultry conditions,
but the rain of the present week and
northeasterly winds has eliminated ali
traces of the past summer. and we are
now in the fall season once more.
There is a cold wave in the north
west which is forging its way toward
this section of the country.
Overcoats in Offices threatened to
become the rule among Chicago busl-
ness men yesterday. From Y al
noon Wednesday, the mercury fell at
the rate Of degree and a half an
hour, and rapidly approached the
freezing point. AS leases IN sky
scrape,s and apartment houses fix Oc-
tober as the time for beginning
steam heat, the cold affected people IN
thousands.
With the thermometer down to 50
in Minneapolis yesterday, the first
heavy frost of the season was recorded
bv government weather officials.
The first snow of the season in north
ern Michigan fell at Whoa early yes
terday. The fall was light, but 1t was

The School Board annually expends
a considerable sum for the repair
of our school buildings; for the sin
gle wear of 1910 it amounted to tie
sum of S1,640.41. These sums are e.
pended by the Board from the money
