The New York Idea"

Another big story has come
out OF New York. A murderous
lunatic has escaped from Matlea-
wan. The crime TOR which he was
sent to the asylum was committed
IN the white light" district OF
New York. and consequently was
given more publicity than any otner
crime in history. Judging from
che number of words printed. the
assassination of julius Caesar must
De reckOned as Of considerably less
importance than the assassination
VI STANFORD White.
But 1t was New York story.
and 1t seems TO be the commonly
accepted idea in Journalistic cir
cles that when New YOrk's fever
shoots up several degrees. the rest
OF the country must get feverish
too. II the Thaw crime had hap
pened in Chicago or any other city
1t would not have secured a frac-
sAOAA0A PoAs oA tAS ateSAeAoA tAot
was given it simply because it hap
pened in New York.
There is another big New York
story" on right now. That is the
Sulzer case From the New YorK
editorial viewpoint that is the
biggest thing since the impeach-
ment Of President johnson. Any
other governor In any other state
could be impeached under circum-
stances just as dramatic. and would
get only a small portion OF the
space that Is being devoted by the
press generally to the Suizsr case.
Actually It r . row in . local dem
ocratic organization and little more
and just why the entire nation
should be expected to have fit
over every development In the case
IL past comprehension.
As q matter OF fact the people
who live outside New York are at
heart NO more interested in New
York affairs than that city IL inter-
ested In Affairs In Colorado or In
any other section OF the pro
vinces." New York papers give
precious little space to the affairs
concerning the outside world. in
comparison with the amount Of To-
cal news they carry. This Is
in accordance with the idea that
OF interest to New York
y of interest to the world at large.
But much Of this socallsd world
interest IL stimulated by the
New York press and the news
agencies which abound in that city.
Probably II matters were left to a
general vote among the readers of
outside papers. there would be a
declaration in favor Of cutting out
much of the frenzied material from
New York and the substitution Of
matter OF greater interest at home.
But 1t IL to New York's interest
to feed this frenzy about the New
York news. 1t Is all good adver-
tising, In a way, for 1t keeps alive
that general impression among the
York" is the only place where
that ''little oil New
things really happen, and that life
outside the most self-centered city
in the universe II only a form of
camping out.-Denver Republican.

tor of the cowardly attack on
pretty Miss Leda Prince during

bons by an unknown assailant
with razor. While she is in a
serious condition it is said, how
ever, that she will recover.
Miss Prince is the daughter of

Herrill denies any connection
with the case.
Miss Prince was attacked

tween Harper and Eccles. She
fought her assailant with the fe.
rocity of a tigress and in the
struggle finally succeeded in TAX
ing the razor from the man.
She tried in turn to WELD the
razor on him but he escaped.
DR.. J. A. Campbell placed SO
stitches in the girls face, which
will be horribly disfgured. Her
hands were also badly cut as a
result Of her efforts to disarm

uncommon for them to escape injury

Thought StryChnine was Candy

Fairmont, July Is. Little Dor
is Kathleen Stretchberry, aged
four, is dead, as the result of
eating strychnine tablets, which
she secured from the kitchen
cabinet when in quest of sugar.
The child, who was the daughter
of Harland Stretchberry, of Nor
wood, a few miles from the city,
asked her mother for sugar.
The mother told her to climb
on a chair and get it from the
cabinet. The child instead of Sc
curing sugar, found a box con-
tanning strychnine tablets and
ate ten or twelve from the box.
The mother seeing the empty
box on the floor, inquired con-
corning it, and when told by the
child she had eaten the contents,
at once gave her an emetic and
summoned a physician. When
the physician arrived the child
was past help and died early this
morning. She was an only child.
