A NEW MUNICIPAL IDEA.

The numerous investigations of vice
and crime which have been held Of
late in this and other cities bring home
sense of something lacking in oul
city governments. At one time it is
the aldermanic body that investigates
vice. At another senatorial commits
sion is carrying on such Investigations
Vital facts are uncovered. But what
use is made of these facts? And
where and what is that particular
body in the city government that
should take hold of these facts and
make them the foundation for re-
forms?
The city Of Schenectady, ~ Y,
thinks it has discovered what that
something lacking is and has supplied
it. Mayor Lunn of Schenectady has
created recently new city depart
ment known as the board of public
welfare. The function of this board is
to act as clearing house of the
city's efforts to make itself cleaner,
sounder, and happier" 1t studies the
problems of poverty, vice, and crime.
After the facts have been ascertained
it proceeds to find a remedy and form
ulates definite lines of action.
This step, while taken by a socialist
executive, is far from being either
utopian or revolutionary. In fact it
is thoroughly in accord with the larg-
er aims and purposes of Goth cen

MODELS FORCED
TO POSE ON ROOF

| MUNICH, March 19.-Ferdinant
Holders picture, 'Das Mutage Webb
c"The Courageous Woman'), has been
much discussed in art circles, espe-
cially in Switzerland the home of the
artist.
The look of terror on the wOman's
face is lifelike. The story of how
the artist got the facial effects, de-
|picting fright and determination, is
as follows:
Four models came to his studio to
sit for the picture. He asked them
in turn to wear an expression such as
they would have on jumping into a
li6eboat from sinking ship in a
storm. Not satisfied with the results
he took them up on the fiat loaded
roof of his house, which is five stor-
les high, and placed chair on the
extreme edge. The poor models were
dreadfully frightened and each in turn
sat. wide-eyed on tho forward edge of
the chair, too nervous to look in any
direction but straight forward.
He chose one of the women and
took his easel and rapidly sketched
in the face and the upper part of the
figure, though not at all too rapidly
for. the sitter.

CONYICTS KILL
SELVES IN PRISON

| LONDON, March 19.-By their sui
eide in Maidstone prison two convicts
|Sidney Bunyan and Harry Fincl
Southcliffe, have carried out the com
pacts they made with the sweetheartE
whom they killed.
Southcliffe was convicted of the
murder of girl named Burchill a
Portsmouth, and had served five years
the death sentence having been com
muted to penal servitude for life
The dead girl left letter stating that
he had killed her at her own request
1t was also alleged that Southcliffe
had promised he would follow her
shortly, and that he had attempted to
cut his own throat.
Bunyan had been barman at ISL
ington, and gave himself up to the po-
lice at Enfield, declaring he had MUIR
dered Lucy Smith. The girls body
was in this case found in a field near
Enfield highway, and Bunyan said
they had agreed to die together. He
also was sentenced to death, and aft
erward reprieved.
How the two men came together in
Southclif6e's cell lis still unknown.
But the officers of the prison are able
to offer suggestion that probably
solves the mystery. When the con-
victs return from work they are al
lowed to proceed to their cells, and
are supposed to slam the doors, the
locks of which are self-acting.
A little later the evening meal is
served, one warden going along and
opening the cell doors and second
following with the food. Usually the
doors do not open more than few
inches, just enough to allow the food
@ be passed to the prisoner, who is
hen instructed to again shut his door. |
t is supposed that on the night of
lis death Bunyan made dash across
,outhcliffe, slamming his own door,
md thus avoiding suspicion.
The weapon with which both mems
Wounds were inflicted was a crude
ort of knife manufactured by one of
hem in odd moments. Probably it
yas made by Bunyan, who was en-
loyed in the tin-working shop.
There he had access to tools, scrap
'on and a grindstone. And there is
tile doubt that he took the oppor-
unity of grinding up four or five
lch length to an edge sharp enough
, cut his throat. He may have told
that he intended to carry
ut his promise to the girl Smith, and
his fellow prisoner asked
i'm for the loan of the weapon to fol-
w his example. In order that the
.heme should be carried out success
lily it was imperative that the first
die should be close to the other in
der that the transfer of the weapon
light be made.
The men were prison friends, and as
result of good conduct had earned
ivileges which included permission
r a weekly talk with another pris 4
er of their own choosing. Bunyan
d Southcliffe had in this way OPP
rtunity for arranging their double
icide.

nutrient character Carbohydrates,
alcohols, acetone) into the plant cell
heightens its resistance to cold. even
in the case of tropical plants. Differ
ent substances protect in different
degrees. The sugars stand highest,

Edgefield County Good Section
For Stock Raising.

Mr.. Charles II. Everson, of Wei
lington Ohio, is visiting at Clark's
Hill for several weeks, where his
firm of Everson Brothers are en-
gagged in raising fine berkshires for
southern farms in connection with
the Middleton farms. Mr.. Howard
Everson of Wellington is residing
permanently at Clark's Hill in su-
perintendence of the fine hoe farm.
The M.essrs. Everson are enthu-
sias,ic on the possibilities of hog
and other stock raising in this coun-
ty. where they say the conditions
are almost ideal on account of cll-
mate, ability to raise grains, clover
and vetches for winter grazing, etc.
Mr.. Chas. Everson who has also
been engaged in stock raising in
west and northwest, speaking of
Edgefeld county says 1T is much
easier to raise all kinds of stock
here than it is in the west and north
west, where we have to contend
with billiards. in winter and e1-
treme dry weather in summer. Your
plentiful water supply here and
general rainfall make the best pos
sible conditions for raising cattle,
hogs and other stock.
This industry will also build up
the land. I think this section will
become as noted in time for it's beef
cattle as Texas. The western
ranges are giving out. [ would
prefer the Shorthorn, or Herford
breeds. A baby beef" Shorthorn
or Herford at two years old will
weigh 1900 to 400 pounds, and
bring from sc to l0c per pound,
the Chicago market having been lOc
for sometime for prime steers. You
can raise such stock very cheaply
here on your abundant land. The
northwestern cattle raiser figures on
a loss OF 90 to 40 per cent of his
cattle in winter on account Of
freezes. Last year the loss was
about 40 per cent. You should be
able to raise sheep and horses prof
itably here also. No country with
the grasses, water supply and good
climate that you have can fail to be
a good stock country. We are find
ing that we can raise hogs here bet
Ter than in Ohio.

Concerning the Money Trust" "

Twenty-Five and one-quarter bill
lions of dollars under the practical
control of three men. The start
ling fact stated recently by Mr..
George F. Baker before the Pujo
committee at Washington may be
sifted down to that almost incredl-
BILE proposition.
Mr.. Baker, toward the close of
his testimony, declared frankly: !
think it has gone far enough. 1t
might not be dangerous, but still it
has gone about far enough. In
good hands, l do not see that it
would do any harm. If ii got into
bad hands it would be very bad"
There are altogether one hundred
and twelve corporations, admins
tered by three hundred and forty
one directors, in the group at whose
head stand the three fnanciers par
amount, J. p. Morgan, James Still
man and George F. Baker. Mr..
Stillman is sixty three years old, Mr..
Baker seventy, Mr.. Morgan seventy
three. The American people must
face with the most intense serious
ness the question:: Who will con-
troll this almost incomprehenslbly
great sum of money when these
men are gone?"
1t appears perfectly self-evident
that some plan must be devised for
preventing further concentration Of
the nations wealth. SO long as
compeLlon remains the basis OF our
commercial system, legislation
should prevent the possibility of the
same men controlling the policy and
and detail management OF compel
ing banks, trust companies, and, to
an increasing extent, the various
enterprises of manufacture, trans
portation, and barter. There should
be full publicity of the methods,
control and conditions of banks and
trust companies.
Other reforms will suggest them
selves. Meanwhile the nation must
be finding its way to saner and
mole righteous economic system.
All thoughtful people realize that
we are in a period of transition.
This startling concentration has
been, perhaps, an almost necessary
outcome of the conditions III der
winch we have been working. But
these conditions are not final; the
social evolution is / a ling us be-
yond them. There need be no rev.
olution; there need be no disastrous
unseltllng of business conditions.
But there mus. be change, and this
change must be the result Of brave,
patient, sane, just, philanthropic
thinking and doing. Christian

Honeysuckles for Stopping Gul-

(From Progressive Farmer
The foundation for good farming
in the south is good land. The origi-
nal forest land in our hill country
was once fertile and very produc-
tive. The only thing for our fore
fathers to solve was, to get this fer
tile land cleared; this was done, a
little at time; then, certain field
began to wash, new field was
cleared and the quilted ones given
up. This process was carried on for
many years, but little attention
being paid to the care and upbuild-
ing of the soil, until finally there
was no original forest land to clear.
So this generation of farmers has
three great questions to solve, ~
how To stop the gullies that were
made by .'oor farming. ~ how to
keep the land from washing, (3)
how to improve the fertility of the
soil.
Ny method of stopping big, deep
gullies is to make dams with
brush at intervals in bottom, throw
inc some rocks or chunks, if con-
venicnt, to hold brush down, then
a few shovels of earth. After gull
lies are we'll damned, plant white
honeysuckle just above the dams.
In a year or so the honeysuckles
will completely cover every barren
spot and you can rest assured that
the gullies will never wash out.
After you once get your gullles
checked from further washing, they
can be filled from time to time by
using drag scrapes, plows, etc. Ihe
main point is to stop them, don t
let them yet deeper or wider, hold
what you have-use a scotch" and
this scotching cannot be better done
than by planting white honeysuckle.
