PRESIDENTIAL scBoolRoom.

The women suffrage advocates
should be satisfied with President VIII
sons attitude toward their demands.
He boldly says that he, as an individ-
ual, is for suffrage but as a leader Of
great organization Of men ne is en-
gagged in a campaign for other very
specific things at present Concent-a-
ton OF purpose Is necessary to the ac-
compIshment Of any big thing. With
out this kind OF leadership in the
White House the democrats would
never have reduced the tariff and
would not now De within a thousand
miles Of banking reform.
A business man must have concen-
xration Of purpose and center his ener-
gies upon w hat ne considers of para
mount Importance if he ever amounts
to anything in MS business.
Just now the president is not trying
to, lead his party into acceptance Of
new ideas. He is not seeking for oene-
fetal legislation that congress may
take up if it will. He is trying as
leader to hold his troops together until
the specific things are accomplished
for which the army set out. The
moment he scat.ers he is lost.
1t was even necessary 70 adopt
cloture rules in the special session to
force a tariff bill thru and not another
BIZ vas permitted 10 get il the way.
Nothing now VIII be done until the
banking bin is out IF the way. With
these things disposed Of the president

and let congress go out in the yard and

TRAIN HITS AN AUTO.
One Boy Held His Little Dead
Brother on Engine Pilot
Until Train Stopped.

Eagle Grove, Ia, July 21.-A
frightful automobile accident took
place here yesterday afternoon when
{. little six year old son of n. H..
Adams was killed and several other
members Of the family badly injur-
ed A Chicago, Great Western pas
senger train crashed into the auto
as it was pulling into the depot from
the south. Mr.. Adams is said to be
careless driver at times, although
he is a dealer in autos here and a
we'll known business man among the
people of this community.
The child who was killed had its
head badly smashed and was thrown
on the pilot of the engine. Another
brother, a little older, was also
thrown on the pilot of the engine
and altho considerably bruised up
and hurt he held his little dead
brother on the pilot until the train
came to a stop. A sister and a
third brother were also in the car
at the time of the accident, and al
tho they are seriously injured and
suffering from broken bones and
bruises, it is thought that they will
recover. Mr. Adams, who was driv-
ing the car, was not injured much,
but the car was completely demol-
ishei.

A Harmless Accident.

When returning from DEBORAH
Sunday night Earl Henry witnessed
an automobile accident in which no
one was injured but which might
have proved very serious. About 6
miles out of Cresco, near the Beuch-
er farm he met an auto driven by
Mr. Libby mail carrier at Ridge
way, which was going at high rate
OF speed. Mr.. Henry turned to one
side OF the road and seeing that the
other car did not turn, he stopped
his own car as he feared collision.
Mr.. Libby did not slacken speed and
when he drew near the Henry car
turned out so quickly that the auto
overturned and slid along the road
side for several feet, dragging its
six occupants. When Mr. Henry and
his companions righted the Libby
auto it was found that no one was
injured. Mr.. Libby says that he could
Tot see the other car being blinded
by its strong lights and did not
think to slacken speed.-Howard

BABE SAVED FROM FIRE.
Taken From Upstairs Window
When Flames Cover House.

La Porte City, Ia, July 21.---The
farm home of Jerry Witt, Jr., about
six miles west of La Porte City, was
destroyed by fire Monday afternoon
about 800 o'clock. AS near as
can be learned at this time, Mr..
Witt was at work in the field and
Mrs. Witt was doing the washing in
a small building near the house. The
first that was learned of the fire was
when a neighbor living nearby ran
over to the Witt home and gave the
alarm. 1t appears that the fire had
gained considerable Roadway by that
time, and it was at once seen that it
would be impossible to save the
house.
The little child of Mr.. and Mrs.
Witt was asleep in an upstairs room
al the time, and in trying to gain an
entrance to the house from the low
er floor in order to rescue the little
one, Mrs. Witt was quite severely
burned about the hands and arms.
Ladders were finally procured and
raised to an upper window, and in
this manner the babe was taken from
the burning house. The house was
burned to the ground, nothing being
saved but the baby and a few bed
clothes upon which it was sleepin
Work will be started upon a new
house as soon as possible.
