some one asks. Well, it does
not make much difference where
it came from, it contains more
truth than poetry.
But some one says. What
has honoring parents to do with
a long life?" In many cases it
has a whole lot to do with it..
Parents forbid their children to
do those things which tend to
shorten life. And worry is one
of the main things that brings
people to premature graves.

Ex-Governor Stubs of Kansas
in a speech at a Progressive
party meeting at Topeka last
week, said that ROOSEVELT is the
only man that can defeat Pres
ident Wilson for reelection.
While Wilson is making a very
good president, it is rather early
for any man to be making
predictions. Both of these men
may be dead before the next
presidential election.
The Progressive party Is thor
oughly organizing for battle in

A BATTLESH|P
RESCUES CREW
BURNING SHIP
Steamer Scotsdyke Carrying
Thirty Passengers ~
Crew Was Burning When
Big Iron Duke" Arrived
Just in Time.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Nov. 19.-The British ba t.
tleShip Iron Duke effected timely
rescue of the thirty passengers and
crew of the steamer SCotsdyke while
the steamer was burning in the Eng
lish channel early today. The steamer,
bound from Mediterranean ports for
Sunderland. caught fire off the Isle of
Wight shortly after midnight The
blaze started in a deck cargo of grass
and spread so rapidly through this in
tlammable material that the crew was
unatIe to stay its progress and it at
tackled the ships bridge and a number
of life boats, which were destroyed.
Owing to the heavy sea, it was impos-
sible to launch the few remaining life
boats.
The panic stricken passengers and
the crew were forced to retire to the
steamers stern. The battIeship Iron
Duke was carrying out trials in the
channel during the night and when the
burning steamer was sighted, sailors
from the warship put off in boats to
the rescue. The fore part of the Scots
dyke was a mass of flames when the
boats reached the scene and the help
less persons aboard were huddled to-
gether aft. The Iron Duke played her
searchlight upon the stern of the
doomed ship while the rescue crew
took all hands safely off.

AN INSANE Man
Hans Schmidt Was Called
for Trial Yesterday, But
Case Went Over for Week
by Consent of Both Sides.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

New York, Nov. 19.-After having
been called for trial today the case of
Hans Schmidt, slayer of Anna, Au-
muller. was put over by consent of
both sides until November 25.
Schnidt's counsel based his request
for a postponement on the plea that
he had not had time to prepare the
case because Schmidt had refused to
confer with him.
'I contend that my client is insane
and it viii be slaughter to try him.
the lawyer told the court. He is un-
able to confer with counsel. He told
me that all he wanted to do was to
plead guilty, and that he did not want
a trial. Although he is guilty Of a
brutal and most heinous murder, il is
my desire to arrive at the real truth
as to his mental condition
New and important evidence has
been discovered in Germany through a
Dr. Herman, which has an important
bearing on Schmidt's sanity It will
be impossible to get that evidence for
at least a week"
DR. Herman was the only witness, it
was said, who refused TO testify be-
fore the commission sent to Germany
by District Attorney Whitman to in
veSngate Schmldts sanity.
