Baily Farmer Meets Tragic Death.

John Kruse, a farmer on the Gaboy
farm between BaiIy and Meyer, met
with terrible death recently from an
explosion of gasoline in an engine
which he was working with
The unfortunate man was trying to
get his engine to run, the water tank
having frozen through the night. He
soaked corn cob.in kerosene and after
lighting it held it under the tank to
thaw it out. 1t is thought that drop
of the flaming oil dropped into small
hole connected with the gasoline TANK
and sudden explosion followed. The
man was at once covered with flames;
he threw himself in some long grass
and rolled around, trying to extinguish
the flames, then tore most of his. clothes
off, his wife coming to his assistance,
but the burning cloths still chung to his
body. In doing this pieces of his flesh
were torn off with the clothes and his
body was left in terrible condition.
After a bitter fight, he was compelled
to give up and lost consciousness, dying
a few hours afterwards. Mrs..Kruse's
hands were badly burned also in her
efforts to put out the fire that was kill
ing her husband. -.
Mr.. Kruse had moved onto the farm

reads of the killing going on in the
country by auto drivers it would seem
as if one of the qualifications for al
lowing a license to run machine
should be, full understanding of the
words of this command Thou shalt
not kill"
The command against adultery is
usually passed over quickly in the
Sunday school class, but more and
more is the age demanding some plain
talk along this line. Licentiousness,
infidelity of husband and wife are ter
rible in their consequences on children
and the home. Just now the reports
from California tell of young men who
basely turned from wives and children
to lives of shameless men. Because
of the high social position of the young
men, much has been made IF their con-
duct, but similar things occur daily
among people in all stations of life.
Disease, shame, humiliation, will GER
tainly come to men and women who
against it as pollution of the body
which is the dwelling place of the
spirit of the living God.
The command not to steal like that
not to kill is so often broken Divine
and human laws condemn stealing. 1t
might be said that it is stealing to
take property by indirect methods as
by sieZing it boldly. Whoever takes
advantage of his neighbor to become
possessed of his property without
proper recompense breaks the eighth
commandment.
The next commandment says we
must not bear false witness against
our neighbor. This applies not only to
false testimony in courts of Justice
but to stories passed from mouth to
mouth. which may ruin the character

Sept 1.-THE Ten Commandments

Sept. 14-The Ten Commandments.
Exodus 20, 1924.
We have this week for our lesson
six of the ten commandments given
the Jews by God at Mt. Sinai, and to
us, in the pages of the bible. Without
setting up to say which are the most
important of these commandments, we
will give thought to the opinion that
the last six touch our daily lives very
closely, and thus are much more be-
fore US than some of the others.
Our attention is first called to the
command Honor thy father and moth
err" 1t is said of us as a nation, that
this command is sadly neglected. AS
compared with the obedience said to
be shown by the sons and daughters
of China this may be true, but for our
part. we are satisfied with the honor
paid by child to parent because of
love, rather than from blind custom
and superstition, that to do otherwise
will bring torments from evil spirits.
ment. Obedience and honor to father
and mother, give to one crown OF
worth which is recognized the world
round. The father and mother who
sacrificed comfort, money, strength,
ambitions, for the child are certainly
entitled to the return Of obedience
and honor. This should be given glad
| ly, freely. prompted by love and de-
sire to recompense for what has been
received 1t is not enough however to
give words of love to the face, and
| then pursue course of conduct which
will bring disgrace and humiliation on
parents. Honor to parents is best civ
en- by leading such an upright life that
they can take pleasure and honor call
| ing you their son or daughter.
The great Apostle Paul in Cor. 3,
20-2l gave command that children
obey their parents. He adds however
like command, Fathers provoke not
your children to anger" 1t is a faV-
orte cry of parents calling for rever,
ence from their children. and seem
ingly without thought that this in truth
should be deserved. How can father
expect obedience when he dishonors
his child by drunkenness, profanity
intense anger and discredited stand
ing before his fellow men? How can
child honor parents who seldom
does his offspring justice, but is ever
finding fault and unappreciative OF
good qualities. Toll, self sacrifice
count. but so do kindness, gentleness,
qualities in parents deserving honor
The command not to kill, strange to
say, is alarmingly broken. Those who
heard the able address Of Judge kav
anagh at the recent chautauqua were
amazed at the number of murders com
mitted in this country. gained from
actual count. 1t is simply appalling
to contemplate. Bible law, human
law, danger of severe punishment
seem not to deter the reckless taking
of human life. Jesus said in Matthew
521. that it is the same as murder to
be angry at another without cause,
and in | John 3. Is it is said who
ever hateth his brother is g murderer

to be covered by the sixth command

in the meantime, whether we get it or
not we want the best roads we can

help us get the Lincoln highway:

who drives a car to be without one OF
these certificates (and incidentally
there is no reason why the people who
will drive cars next year or the year
after should be left OUT. Let us quit
kidding ourselves and put our roads
in shape, paying first attention to
the Transcontinental, but not neglect
ing the other highways and byways.
And let us at all times remember
that there really is going to be con-
crete coast to coast highway within
the next three or four years, and that

is never best, and a liar is always de
spised.
The last commandment declares
against coveting. This means the
very strong desire to possess the prop
erty of others. This leads to envy
jealousy, discomfort, a criminal desire
to have what is not ones own. All
this means unhappiness, driving out
of the spirit of God from the heart
and is certainly not helpful to right
living
1t is we'll in this connection to call
attention to the Golden Rule that we
do unto others what we would wish
them to do to us. This used as a test
of our conduct will always tell us
what is right. Let us not think that

eral for Information on
Caminetti Case.
COMPLIANCE Is EXPECTED

cratic Control.
COMPLIANCE Is EXPECTED

The House Judiciary Committee will
take up and probably report today the
Kahn resolution calling upon the Attor-
ney General to transmit to the House
all the papers in his possession relating
to the Caminetti-Diggs white slave case.
Such resolutions of inquiry are usually
reported by committees and passed by
the House as a matter of form. The
rule is not likely to oe waived in this
case. The resolution will ask the At
torney General to forward all documents
and papers bearing on the Caminetti-
Diggs affair IF not compatible with the
public interest"
1t is the expectation of the House
leaders that the Attorney General will
promptly comply with the request
No Immediate action is contemplated
by the House Committee on Rules on
the Hinebaugh resolution directing the
Judiciary Committee to make an inquiry
into the case. The chances are that this
measure will be pigeon-holed.
No Necessity TO Act.
The leaders see no necessity at this
time of action on the Hinebaugh resolu-
ton inasmuch as the administration has
directed that there shall be no further
delay in the prosecution.
The course of the RepubncanS IN the
case will not be determined until Attor-
ney General McReynolds replies to the
Kahn resolution. Representative Mann
of Illinois, the Republican leader, an
nounced early in the week that he would
insist upon the Passage of resolution
of inquiry II will depend altogether up
on the nature of Attorney General Nc
REYNOLDS reply whether the Republicans
will press the matter further. There is
a disposition among Republicans to air
the matter fully, but as the Democrats
are in control of all the House COM
mittees their hands are tied unless the
party leaders believe that suppression of
resolutions OF inquiry might further en-
barrass the administration.
Representative Hinebsugh of Illi-
nois. who introduced the resolution
an inquiry, now pending in
the Rules Committee, probably will
ask for a report on the measure. Rep
resentative Henry of Texas, chairman
of the Rules Committee, had confer
ence yesterday with President Wilson.
1t is believed that the Caminetti-Diggs
case had something to do with the
conference.
Up to date no arrangements have
been made for a hearing on the Hine-
baugh resolution before the Rules
Committee.
I'VE have not even discussed the
matter in committee" said Chairman
Henry. i am not prepared to say at
this time whether or not any action
will be taken. The question will be
decided later"

Several Are Missing and May Have

Scotch Woman Heroine.

Ottawa, Ont. June .5.-Thirteen Scotch
and Irish immigrants are known to have
been killed and more than forty others
were seriously injured when the Imperial
Limited of the Canadian Pacific Railroad
was wrecked three miles east of here to-
day. Several persons are missing. and
II is believed they are in the wreckage
of the train, part of which was burned.
Nearly all of the dead were Sctoch and
Irish immigrants who were on their way
to the Canadian Northwest.
Railroad officials said tonight the acct
dent was caused by the spreading of the
rails at a point which was being re-
paired. The track gang had neglected
to set a caution signal and the engineer
of the train, which Is one OF the fastest
on the road, was running about fifty
miles an hour when he struck the weak
ened track.
The engine and five cars rolled down
an embankment and into the river.
Nearly all of the known dead were
drowned. while many were injured in the
cars which piled up along the bank OF
the river.
Several persons showed great heroism
in saving the lives of those thrown into
the river and of others beneath the
wreckage. One OF these was a Mrs. Mac
farland, Scotch immigrant. She saved
the lives of her own younger sisters by
keeping them afioat in the river until
aid could reach them. After being taken

With the advent of summer time and its
bountiful supply of sizzling weather. the
public parks of the city are once more
becoming popular among all-night dwell
ers in the open.
Every night-unless It Is raining-you
can see them, no matter what hour 1t is,
lounging and nodding and yawning and
snoring and enjoying the faint night
breeze that blows when the city has gone
to sleep.
Some cities complain of their public
reservations being lonely and drear and
dangerous for women to pass through
after darkness has spread abroad its veil,
but no such charge can be brought
against the parks of Washington. You
can pick out almost any one Of them
containing nice, comfortable benches, to
test the accuracy of this statement; but
If most convincing argument is de-
sired, you should select the park in the
center Of which the Public Library is
