No Arsenic I'm EInnr.

Columbus. Jan. 17.-state Chemist
o. S. Marckworth, attached to Dairy
and Food Commissioner S. Il. Strode's
office, yesterday, reported there was
no arsenic in the flour used by Mr.
and Mrs. Clinton Boerstler, OF Lam
caster. The pancake -four was sent
to the department at the instance OF
Attorney J. w. Denenbach. who rep
resents Mrs. Nancy Hail. who is ac-
cused of murder In connection with
the arsenic poisoning of her daughter
Ruth, who died several weeks ago
after eating pancakes.
The chemists report viii be used
by Prosecutor Courtright of Fairfield
County in presenting the Hall case TO
the grand jury, now in session. At
torney Deffenbach had thought II pos
sible there was arsenic in the flour
used by the Boerstlers, which was OF
the same brand as that used in the
Hall family. The result OF the test
knocks out the defense theory OF
Mrs. Halls attorney.

right. 1t would be better to say their
insults and their evasions and their
plain lying on the witness stand were
and are a national disgrace Car
negie's pretense that he did not know
what the Sherman law was and is
when he has been working with the
smartest attorneys in the country to
override and ignore It while'violating
its provisions whenever necessary to
attain his ends is frightful sample
of lawlessness and inveracity. That
law has stared in the face every trust
magnate in the country for twenty
one years. 1t is as plain as a pike
staff and nobody can ever make the
common American citizen believe that
these law-breakers and their attorneys
did not know that that law was there
and did not comprehend its provisions.
That law is a plain, simple document
of not more than 400 words and any
lawyer in Marion or any intelligent
layman on careful reading can inter-
pret its mandates and inhibitions.
Now. for men to go on the witness
stand and pretend they do not know
what that law inhibits is species
of falsehood and perjury that tenn
perate language fails to characterize.
1t shows the recklessness of great
wealth which assumes to be bound by
no law, circumscribed by no morals.
held In leash by no principles, guard
ed by no patriotism, tempered by no
religion. Here Is case where all
conventions are fouted and the golden
calf Is set up and worshipped and
made the supreme test Of all things
to be desired. And the Stanley COM
notice permitted this open quip and
Joke and monkey-shlne to dodge the
truth and make lie or silence
answer; it permitted its sittlngs to
be converted into a circus that its
witnesses might avoid testifying to the
truth. The committee did not do its
duty and ought to be lashed for its
failure to stand these witnesses up
and make them tell the truth or send
them to Jail. If they had been poor
men the committee would never have
permitted the brass OF Perkins nor
the evasion Of Carnegie minute.
Why should there be one law for the
poor ana another for the rich?

MONROE DOCTRINE
AND ARBITRATION.

One Of the arguments most vocifer-
ously adduced in opposition to the
proposed treaties with France and
Great Britain is that any controversy
involving the Monroe doctrine could
not be arbitrated. This statement Is
believed by some to be such a poser
that no advocate Of the peace agree
ments ought to attempt to answer
1t.
AS a matter Of fact the only trou-
blesome difference that ever arose
from the Monroe doctrine was sub
mittea to arbitration, and the award
was not wholly satisfactory to Amer
lean claims. When President Cleve-
land ordered Great Britain to take
her hands off Venezuela there were
only two possible outcomes-war and
arbitration. OF course. Great Britain
could not meelsIy submit and obey
the American command. President
Cleveland's tone was bellicose and
provocative. The Monroe doctrine
was clearly at stake. and must be
sustained at all hazards. Yet. in the
end, II was not wholly sustained, and
no one in the United States felt pc
culiarly aggrleved. The award was
Just enough, and even had 1t been
obviously in favor Of Great Britain
this nation would not have been
greatly excited.
Manifestly the Monroe doctrine is
one Of the things that can and must
be subject to arbitration. 1t cannot
be upheld otherwise. The men of the
American republic wiz never be Will
ing to go to war in behalf of some
I.atin-American state that has got
itself into trouble with a European
power. The only way for the United
States to make the Monroe doctrine
really effective is to demand arbitra-
ton in all such cases and trust to the
business of the decision. only If a
European power should refuse to arbi-
trate Is 1t to he imagined that this
country would contemplate the posi-
biiity of war.
Instead Of being an argument
against the peace treaties the Mon
roe doctrine is in reality a strong
reason for the desirabillty Of their rat
incation.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

tion between the telegraph and along

far as the Western Union and Bell
telephone are concerned. Whether
all this is legal and whether the pub
lie will stand IL remains TO be seen.
The Postal company is the only thing
left. If that should stop then the
government certainly would take over
the telegram lines.
"There is another thing. When
governments buy large properties
they generally pay exorbnant prices
just as when a city buys land for
park. The English government
paid out enormous sums for the tele-
graph lines and then found to. It's sur
prise that it had to settle with rail-
roads with which the telegraph COM
panies had contracts. I happen to
know that this disturbed the govern
ment very much But the governs
ment was in for it and had to carry II
through-always at the expense OF
the taxpayers. The Western Union
has thousands Of contracts with rail-
roads in this country and If the gov-
ernment should take over the tele-
graph lines 1t would have to settle
for those also. on the whole l guess
the American government will not
buy the telegraph lines so long as the
Postal keeps up competition.

The matter of the prlze-hght, or

cussed at length by the union mem-
bers, with the foregoing result.
At the beginning of the meeting tho
program was carried out in the fol-
lowing order:
The services were in charge of Mrs.
j. 10. Wise, superintendent of the
mothers department. Mrs. Charles
Mcguire read a paper. the subject
of which was "Don'ts for Mothers"
The Rights of Children" discussed
by Mrs. l.. A. Kaufman, was most IN
teresting and helpful TO the members.
A beautiful tribute to Mothers" was
read by Mrs. A. r. Hutchinson, who
was requested by the society to re-
read the paper at some open meeting
of the society. A vocal duet was sung
by Harold Wise and Leroy DeTurk,
accompanied at the plaao by Miss
Lois Wise. In closing, Mrs. Wise
talked Of her department, and plans
for It's future.

New York, N. Y, Jan. 17.-Clar-

General Hitchcock that the govern

said:
This would lead to taking over
the telephone lines also. The British
government found this to be so and
two weeks ago 1t took over the tele-
phone lines in England at an enor-
nous expense.
THE telegraph and telephone
lines I'm this country are worth from
81. 900, 100000 to $4,000, 900, 900. This
would include the Independent tele-

to say that they would be. operated
by the government at great annual
loss, just as in Great Britain, where
the losses on the telegraphs alone

moreover, the government would then
be employing hundreds of thousands
of clerks. telephone girls, telegraph
operators, managers, etc. 1t would
be n colossal political machine.
IL have reason for saying that taxi
ing over the telegraph lines would
mean also taking over the telephone
