SEES HOPE FOR
DR.. NJ NAUCHTON
Colonel SaffoId Thinks Mrs.
Flanders Trial viii Clear
Condemned Physician.

Colonel Frank Sanold. of SWANS
boro. one of Dr. McNaughton attor-
news. talked most interestingly today Of
the famous poisoning case, and the di-
rection to be given it by the prison
board. after having heard the plea for
executive clemency.
Colonel Saffold said
An we ask is justice for Dr. Nc
Naughton. and we are gratiied beyond
measure that the prison board is to
recommend that the doctor be respited
until his alleged accompHce can be
tried. and that the governor IS 10 lend
a favorable ear TO the recommenda-
ton
DIR McNaughton can not be guilty
of poisoning Fred Flanders, unless the
woman jointly indicted with him also is
guilty. II the state can not convict her,
it must have erred in convicting the
doctor Her trial will throw a bright
and illuminating light on the Nc
Naughton case. 1t may-and ! believe
will-clear the doctor absolutely Of all
suspicion of crime.
DIR. McNaughton should be kept
alive at least until after the trial of
Mrs. Flanders. in order that he may tes-
tify, If necessary, in the case against
the woman. We realize that we have
lost the doctors case in many courts,
but we invariably have lost on techni-
cal points Of law, and not on the facts.
II is for Just such cases that the rem
edy OF executive clemenCy is provided.
THE prison board and the governor
will be rendering the state. which
stands for exact and impartial justice.
a high and patriotic service in insisting
that McNaughton be not executed in
any event, until his alleged accomplce
in crime, who never has been called to
account. and who is now at large on a
paltry $4,000 bond, has been convicted
or acquitted
Ii is understood. in view of the d.
recton to be given the McNaughton
case by the prison board and the gov
ernor, that a strenuous effort will be
made to call Mrs. Minnie Flanders to
trial at once-possibly within the next
two weeks
II there is no violent opposition to
that and her trial may be brought
about without further delay, the famous
McNaughton case may be, at least.
nearing its end

SO long as the case against the woman

While men are trying to eradicate
graft and protected vice from New
York, Philadelphia and other great
cities the example of Virginia Brooks.
of West Hammond, Ind, should not be
overlooked.
Miss Brooks is only girl in her
twenties, who inherited property in
West Hammond. At the time she was
a resident Of Chicago. In looking after
her Inheritance she discovered that the
assessment was very high and went to
trail Of graft. The 5000 inhabitants of
the town are nearly all poor people,
most OF whom have an imperfect
knowledge Of English and the grafters
found them easy marks Practically
single handed and alone, the girl be-
gan to investigate and soon found that
thousands OF dollars were being taken
annually from the taxpayers. Vice and
gambling were protected and fiourished
on the main streets; the town was
overrun by saloons; the white slave
traffic was in full force, and generally
the place was not only wide open, "
but the bosses were reaping the profits.
Girl Elects Reform Mayor.
Miss Brooks made her first trip to
West Hammond only about a year ago,
and yet recently through her efforts, a
reform mayor and alderman were
elected. and vigorous attempt s. going
forward to clean up the town Through
letters to the Chicago papers and by
other means this young girl has gone
forward in a task that many strong
men would have hesitated to undertake.
Best of all she is winning out We
need Virginia Brooks in every city in
the land
The first thing behind any great
movement must be public opinion

create men. Never yet was there a
great occasion, great opportunity but
some hero arose to MI the place de-

People sometimes ask What leader

This is the Children's Century," SAYS

advocated by members of both parties.
There were few on both sides who OPP
posed it. But as there seemed to be no
other way out of the difficulty, both
houses agreed to the measure creating
the commission. Morrill, said that if
either house had thought the fifteenth
member would not be non-partisan, the
measure could not have passed. Senator
ingalls, said afterward that the commits
sion was device favored by each party
in the belief that it would cheat the
other. and which resulted in defrauding
both.
Briefly. the commission was to be made
up of three democrats from the House,
two from the Senate and two from the
Supreme Court, with three republicans
from the Senate, two from the House and
two from the Supreme Court. The four
justices of the Supreme Court were to
choose the fifth member. The democrats
thought it would be David Davis when
they allowed the bill to pass, and the
republicans thought it would be Bradley.
And Bradley it was He said he thought
it almost too much to expect him to be

bitter one. Hayes was a somewhat COL
orless candidate, and no one foresaw any,
thing but smooth finish to a somewhat
indifferent campaign. The night the re-
turns came in every one conceded the
election to Tilden. and but for a chance
inquiry it might have gone that way.
But this inquiry, coming from the demo-
cratic headquarters to a republican news
paper, indicated doubt and Chairman
Chandler of the republican national com
mittee promptly capitalized that doubt
with orders to his aids to claim every
thing. And they did.
Tilden received the greatest popular
majority ever received by a defeated
presidential candidate, having more than
quarter of a million votes in the
November election than Hayes. But by
claiming the votes of several southern
states-South Carolina, Louisiana and
FlOrida-the republican candidate could
count 1S5 electoral votes to 1S4 for the
democratic candidate. The democrats
insisted that the votes belonged to them,
and with a democratic House and a re-
of either accepting the views of the
other.
The outlook for the settlement of the
controversy was dark. There was dan
ger of civil war. Senator
Danger of Edmunds afterward drew
o..,u graphic picture of the
0A'AA wa situation as it threatened
to be. He said that a democratic House
would have declared Tilden elected and a
republican Senate would have pronounced
Hayes the successful candidate. Each
would have tried to assume the reins of
government with his partisans behind
him. Hayes could not have performed
the functions of the office, because the
democratic House would not pass the nee
essary appropriation bills permitting him
to carry on the administration. On the
other hand, Tilden would have been as
badly handicapped, as a republican Sem
ate would have refused to confirm his
appointments and the government could
not be manned by administrative officers.
With each taking the oath of Office and
attempting to exercise it's duties, the SOL
emn ceremony of taking the oath and
the inaugural pageant would have been
but the prelude to an awful tragedy of
anarchy and civil war, which would have
continued until the next election and per-
haps thereafter, since no proper machin-
cry for nationwide election would have
been possible.
