General Result of Recent Elections

The President wins. He gave his support to Field
er in New Jersey, to Walsh in Massachusetts, to
Mitchell in New York, and to Lee in Maryland, and all
four romped home in their races. What is theirs is
his, and what is his is his own.
strengthened thus in his position, and in his asser-
ton Of party leadership, what will Mr.. Wilson do
with his triumph? First of all, what will be the effect
on the currency problem?
As we all know, democratic reverses yesterday
would have been quoted against Mr.. Wilson, and his
opponents encouraged to insist on their currency
views. Will he not now quote his successes against
them, and insist on his views? What more natural?
What more logical, as logic is applied in everyday
politics?
It will be little to the point for Mr.. Wilson's op-
ponents to reply that in only one case did national
issues figure directly. In Maryland Mr.. Bryan asked
for the election Of Mr.. Lee for the reason that the
latters vote in the Senate would be SO much to the
good for the presidential policies. Presumably, then,
Mr.: Lee in the Senate will be a Wilson man.
But both at home and abroad the results will be
accepted in their broader aspects; and these will
inure to MI. Wilson's benefit. That Massachusetts,
while Democratic on the state ticket, is Republican
on legislative control; that New York, while heavily
a~nti-Tammany in the ~mayoralty matter will be Repub-
lican in the state assembly; that New Jersey did not
show as heavy Democratic support for the legislative
as for the state tickets, will not be taken into the
general account. That account is that in all those
states the leading candidates, relying largely on Mr..
Wilson's Endorsement, were elected.
Again is presented the story and the lesson OF the
Republican divisions. Signal as they are, the tri-
umphs Of Mr.. Fielder and Mr.. Walsh are minority
triumphs. II the voters In New Jersey and Massa-
chusetts who are opposed to Democratic policies,
state and national, had stood together yesterday,
neither Mr.. Fielder nor Mr.. Walso would have come
within sunshot OF goal. Both would have been badly
Aesten. But with their opponents lighting among

had but 20 spread their blankets and good things fell
into them.
Is this policy to continue? Mr.. Roosevelt advises
1t, and announces that he has just begun to fight. In
that event next years result may be easily forecast.
In close congressional districts a thousand or so Bull
Moosers supporting candidates Of their own against
the Republican candidates will be able to bring in the
Democratic candidates, and thus insure another term
for Mr.. Clark in the Speakers chair and another
Democratic leader OF the House on the eve Of the next
presidential election.-Washington Star. &

The Kiep Ritual Murder Trial

In Kiev, Russia, a Jew, Mendel Eeilis by name. is
being tried upon the charge of numbering a Russian
child for the purpose of obtaining Christian blood to
use in the ritual OF the Jewish Passover. This is .,
revival of a %barbarous superstition of the Middle
Ages. that Jews use Christian blood in the makins
of unleavened bread for their Passover. The case
has attracted the attention Of the entire civiiizce
world and protests against the base accusation have
been made by thousands Of the worlds most distlr:-
guished scholars and statesmen.
The facts in the case are these: On the 25th OF
March, 1911, a 13-yearold boy, named Andrew Yus;,-
%schinski. living in Kiev, mysteriously disappeared
while on his way to school. Nine days later his nu,.
dered body was found in a cave in the suburbs OF
Kiev, together with his school books and everything
he had when he started from home. The body was
almost bloodless and had been stabbed or pierced in
more than forty places with some sharp-pointed in
strument like a poinard or heavy awl. The boy had
evidently been killed elsewhere and brought to the
cave when life was extinct, because there were nc
traces of blood in the vicinity. No attempt had been
made to conceal the Identification of the body, for
the boys school books had been placed beside linn
and a belt bearing his name had been laid across his
legs.
The great number of wounds and the %bloodlsss
condition of the body suggested a crime of unusual
nature. The Jew hater at once raised the cry OF

would convict him and at the same time incriminate
the Jews of using Christian blood for the purpos.
stated. The case is being tried in Kiev before :
bench Of four judges and a duly impaneled jury. 1;
Is evidently not so much the purpose OF the Russian
government to convict Bells as to engender hatred
against the Jewish race.
That the Russian Jews have been systematically
prosecuted and oppressed is a matter of common
knowledge. A government Of a proscriptive and des.
potic character must frequently press into its service
the most %fortuitous incidents and give them an arbi-
trary Interpretation in order to justify it's tyranny. If
the Jews advocated or perpetrated such crimes as
ritual murder the vigilant spies Of the Car would
have discovered the fact, long ago and promptly made
1t known to the world. A more shallow pretense for
the purpose of creating prejudice could not be devised.

PuzzlinQ the Postwar

Postmaster General Burleson has inaugurated a
wholesome reform in deciding to ignore the freak
addresses on letters of a kind which have caused
no small amount of annoyance in the past. Every
now and then we hear of the ingenuity of some
alleged humorist who sends an illustrated rebus
through the mails in the form of an address on an
envelope. These achievements no doubt crafty the
vanity Of the sender and possibly afford some pleasure
to the recipient, but they sadly disturb the equanim-
ity of the %postofice experts who are compelled to
spend valuable time in deciphering the meaning OF
the funny business"
The ~postofice department is not an institution
primarily designed to develop the national humor.
A cartoon is not an address, according to the die
tionary or according to the reasonable Interpretation
Of the postal regulations. There is no sensible reason
why the time of ~postofice officials, high or low, which
they are in all fairness obligated to devote to the
business of the general public and which is pretty
we'll occupied in discharging this duty, should be
consumed in bringing order out of the pictorial chaos
of persons suffering from attacks of perverted humor.
Postal clerks are not employed as nut crackers"
or puzzle solvers, and hereafter they will be abso;ved
from performing such childish duties. The letters
with puzzle addresses will go to the dead letter office.

Burr Harris Trial

(By United Press Associations
Los Angeles, Nov. 13-Burr Harris,
negro, on the stand in his own trial,
told the details of his murder of Mrs.
Rebecca Gay, Christian Science prac-
titioner. He appeared sane. The de-
fense is based on insanity.
The big crowd in the court room
leaned forward eagerly and listened
to the bloody details of the crime. He
denied that he was paid for killing
the woman, saying his statement to
that effect was suggested to him by
questions asked by the police. He
seemed to enjoy the excitement he
created among the spectators. lie
said: 81 entered Mrs. Gays office
while two women were there. When
the woman went, she started to wash
her hands. I told her the telephone
tinkled. She sat on a chair before it
to answer and l struck her with an
iron pipe, then again and again. The
blood seemed to have a peculiar
sound, when it flowed. l tried to
push the chair with the body on it to
window, but the body fell out. Then
I tried to carry the body, but it was
too heavy. Then l threw papers on
it and washed the blood from the walls
with a towel. l washed my hands
with a rubber sponge. While wash
ing, someone tried the door of the of
flee, then went away. l tried to get
work at several garages, still wear
ing the clothes l wore when I killed
the woman. later changed them
and took advantage of an excursion to
San Diego. By that time l had for
gotten all about the murder. ! never
thought of it again until l was al
rested in San Diego"
Under questions by his attorney,
Harris said he went to MIS-. Gays of-
flee looking for Mrs. Wallace. He
didn't know who Mrs. Wallace was,
but said he had been told he must look
out for her, and that it was best to
kill her.

Bribery is Charged

San Bernardino, Nov. 13.-Alleging
that he was offered 500 by a Red
lands man and half that sum by San
Bernardino man if he would secure
the escape of Irene Fortin and Belle
Dustin from the county detention
home, young man by name of Byers
is being held by the police. The two
girls are the complaining witnesses in
the cases against F. t. Hendee and
C. A. Greenleaf, who are charged with
contributing to their delinquency and
whose preliminary hearing is set for
Thursday.
Byers and some companions visited
the home late last night and were
to attract the attention of
the girls when Superintendent Bige-
low discovered and fired several shots
at them. Byers was caught later. A
thorough investigation of the story
is to be made.

Normal Weather Returns
To the Coast After Period
Of Deficient Rainfall

fell from July until the same date
last year was only 81 of an inch,
showing 90 of an inch more to have
fallen in Approximately six hours yes
terday than soaked the community
in four and half months in 1912.
The addition of six hours rain yes
terday Increased this seasons total
to 1.16 inches, regarded as extraordi-
nary. The normal average for the
past twenty-five years has been LII
inches each season to this time, SO
it is possible the figures will be en-
larged by tonight.
A cloudy muggy morning greeted
the city yesterday, and after threat
ening for several hours the first
shower commenced at 9:54. For six
minutes the water fell in semi
downpour, stopping at 10 o'clock. The
skies remained dull and at 1:1O the
rain began afresh, this time lasting
till la. Only lapse of twenty-five
minutes intervened before the clouds
opened again and flooded the streets.
The rain fell in heavy sheets and i'm
peded vehicles and pedestrians alike.
The showers continued at short in
tervals throughout the evening, and
Weather Forecaster Ford Carpenter
predicted continuance all night and
most of today.
Late rain such as fell yesterday is
a symptom of a warm winter, so that
little discomfort arose from Los An
geles people, particularly from the
newly arrived colonists who have
come here to evade the chill winds
and blizzards of the east and middle
west.
The showers proved an immense
benefit to the crops and fruits of the
surrounding country as they were un-
accompanied by high winds. While
at times the water fell violently it did
no damage.

bitten, shivering and weak from hun

Mandan, Keweenaw county, where
they were given warm clothing and
medical attention until they could be
brought here.
Members of the crew believe that
the Turret Chief will be total loss, as
her position is such that she cannot
be removed before the waves pound
her to pieces. The steamer was bound

Loss Of Life by
Storm is Growing
(Rx United Press Associationsl

Chicago, Nov. 13-Estimates of the
number drowned of Sundays and Mon
days storms on the lakes reached $50
today. At least twenty-five big
steamers were lost, and many smaller
crafts. 1t is impossible to estimate
accurately the number lost. The dam
age, exclusive of shipping, was prob
ably more than five million dollars,
the greater part of this at Cleveland.
A majority of the fatalities were on
Lake Huron, along the west shore,
which usually is safest in storms. A
shift of wind, however, gave the US
ually sheltered coast the worst of the
storm. The seas are rapidly subsid-
ing today. A systematic search has
begun for wreckage. Scores of corps
es have washed on the shore of Huron
and Superior.

Strikes Good Well on Yuma Road

Holtville Tribune: L. F. Gray on
Tuesday finished digging the first we'll
on the road between Holtville and Yu-
ma on the Ocean-to-o highway at
a point five miles east of town. He
will now proceed to a point near the
sand hills and sink another well, so
that the travellers by this route will
be able to find plenty of water on the
road.
Water was struck in the first well
at a depth Of fifty-four feet, and it is
expected that the second will be about
the same depth. Mr.. Gray is hurry
ing the work along as fast as possible
so that the road may be opened for
traffic at the earliest possible moment.
1t is proposed to start a stage be-
tween here and Yuma inside the next
thirty days, and in another two
months the road will be ready for
cross-country travellers who wish to
take the shortest route to the coast.

Eugenics and Romance

Chicago Inter-Ocean: Disabusing
the minds of those who fear that
common sense applied to marriage
will result in the destruction of love
and romance, DR.. Evangeline Young
of Pittsburg, founder of the school of
eugenics, the only institution of the
kind in America, uttered words of
wisdom in an address at a banquet
of women's clubs in Pittsburg when
she said: "We apostles of eugenic
marriages have not forgotten, as has
often been charged, that there is such
81 thing as romance. This will always
be so long as there are men and
women. Other things than love and
propinquity enter largely IN the mod
ern marriage, such as money, con-
venience and social position. Why
not, then, let plain common sense play
a part? Surely it wilk not kill ro-
nance for girl to choose the father

Union Bible for Africans

London Daily News: In West AT
RIGA there are no fewer than 400 diff
ferent forms of native speech, and
the traveller soon finds that dialect
by which he can make himself under
stood in one village is practically use
less in another only a few miles
away. The natives themselves are in
a similar difficulty, and civilization
generally is delayed.
Recently something has been done to
unity four of the 400 dialects. There
are four forms of Ido-Isuama, Delta,
Niger and Unwana-and each varia-
tion has always been jealously pre-
served But the British and Foreign
Bible Society has just published
Union Ibo Bible in a form of Ibo
speech, which was arrived at after
many heated discussions between the
negro supporters Of the different dia-
lects. 1t is expected that the circula-
tion of this compromise will do much
to make inter-tribal intercourse and
civilization generally a good deal cas-
ier.
The translation was difficult task.
Representative of the different dia-
lects were invited to meet Archdeacon
E. Dannis of the C. M. S. Niger Mis-
sion, and nearly every word was dis
cussed before compromise could be
agreed upon.
The most heated discussion of all
was round the word "God." The Tho
word is Chi, but it is applied to sc
many, many objects of worship that
the Supreme Being has to be disting-
uished from the rest by some adjec-
tive or appellation. The Initshas call
him "the great Chill" the Ungwana
people "Chi uku okike." Eventually
the translator persuaded the repre-
sentatives of the rival dialects to
agree to Chi-neke, which means God
the Creator, and could be understood
by all the tribes.

Champions the Crow

Pittsburg Dispatch: The excessive
ly scrupulous individual who has been
objecting to the "swat the fly" cru
sade on the theory that there is a
good reason for every work of crea-
ton, although we may be wholly at
loss to find or even to imagine it, will
consider himself justified by what has
happened to the crow. The fy-swat-
ter is a comparatively modern device
compared to the scare-crow. Genera
tions that have known nothing of the
deadly possibilities of the disease
spreading fly have been firmly
grouped in the belief that the crow
is an enemy to man, to be scared off
or shot at sight. Yet, if the bureau
of biology in the department of agri-
culture is right, that has been al
wrong. The crow is not alone not
an enemy, but positive aid to the
very class that has been most anxious
to extirpate it.
Biological examination of the
crows menu has proved beyond a
doubt that instead of ravaging the
seed-filled soil the crow finds its chief
sustenance in grasshoppers, cut
worms, white grubs and other injuri-
Gus insects that menace the crops
1t is admitted that crows destroy
young birds and bird eggs, but this
is accounted a trivial offense com
pared to the incalculable good ac-
complished in the destruction of crop
pests. Hereafter if the farmer heeds
the official advice from Washington
when he hears the "caw, cav" of the
crow, instead of running for his gun
he will take to the barn and set out
banquet for the visitor. In time, if
your imagination is strong enough
you may conceive the possibility of
pet crows riding on the farmers
shoulder as he does his plowing.
