HUSBAND TRICKS AN ADMIRER
Demands $4CO of Convent in Name of
Man of Whom He Was Jealous
Police Arrest Him.

Rome-The personal columns Of the
Giornale d'Italia recently contained an
imprisoned appeal by a man who i'm
plored a woman to write to him at the
address, alexander, 60 Poste Res
tante." The message aroused the sus-
picions of jealous husband, who de-
termined to punish it's author. He ac-
cordingly wrote a threatening letter
to the superior general of the Servants
of Mary, stating that unless the sum
of $500 were sent to Alexander, so
Poste Restante," the church and con,
vent would be blown up by dynamite.
This missive was promptly commune
Gated to the police, who set a trap at
the central postoffice for the supposed
desperate. The latter turned out to
be nervous young man, who almost
tainted when he was arrested. He
was released later, with a warning
against paying court to other mems
wives.

SYCOPHANTS

The investigation, by the senate
committee, Of the Vaccinations IF
attorney Lauterbach and Lamar, the
wolf of Wall street. has already
established the fact that these men
are the real culprits. They were
more using than used by, the powerful
men Of the street. They were play
ing their own game, as men of their
type have always done. The military
chieftains Of the praetorian guards in
ancient Rome, the eunuchs of the cor
rupt and decadent Byzantine empire,
the designing cleric guilty CT simony,
the selfish courtiers who followed
English princes to London from their
French possessions and robbed the ma
tional exchequer, the kings friends
in the time of the Georges, the cor
rupt cOurtiers and courtesans about
the French coUrt-all these, down to
the men whose confessions and in
examinations stir this nation, make up
one long lineage Of sycophants that
have ever lowered near the seats of
power seeking only their own profit.
1t has always been the wonder of
the moralist and the jest of the bitter
satyrist that men of power have put
faith in the services of these creatures.
However substantial their influence
may have seemed to the blinded eyes
of those who have exchanged favors
with them-when the inevitable crash
has come and eyes have been opened
the utter spineless parasitism of these
leeches has been revealed. History is
full of examples; still men of IN
fuence again and again will surround
themselves with these blood sucking
fatterers. Such is the sense of in
security that gnaws at the heart of
power that it will lean upon hollow
reed and make a confdant Of snake
that it takes to its bosom. milwaukee

McCumher.

Senator McCumber. of North
Dakota, opened the republican assault
upon the tariff bill Monday in the
senate. He vigorously attacked the
feature of the bill which puts the
farmers products upon the free list
and brings them in direct competition
with the foreign products coming from
cheaper lands and cheaper labor. He
says the great American sense of fair
ness is grossly insulted and that the
bill has seemingly been conceived
in animosity against every American
industry that needed protection, with
the American farmer as the special
object of it's choler and hate. He
contends that should this bill become
a law as it is now proposed it will
compel the farmer to sell his products
at much lower price and yet, by
the time they reach the consumer he
will find the price he has to pay is
no lower.

How Senator LaFollette will vote
on the new tariff bill. which has just
been reported to the senate, has been
fruitful subject Of agitation of late
in the minds of democratic editors
and politicians, it being we'll
known fact that he was violently
opposed to the republican Payne
Aldricn bill passed during the Taft
administration. In spite of the ap-
peals made to him to support the
democratic measure it is now an.
nounced that Mr. LaFollette has
prepared an entire substitute bill
which he will report at later date
and that he will not vote for the
Underwood measure unless it is so
radically amended as to substar TALLY
conform to his ideas of what the
schedules should be. Senator LaFoI-
lette has always had a large element
of democratic support which finds
little comfort III his present attitude.

The Underwood tariff bill which

The Underwood tariff bill, which
was introduced in the present special
session of Congress on April and
which passed the house on May s,
was reported to the senate last Friday
10y the senate finance committee, and
will now be the chief subject for
discussion by the senate for several
weeks to come. The finance com
mittee has made numerous changes
in the bill, although the main provi-
sions Of the bill as it came from the
house are retained and those parti-
cularly advanced by President Will
son-free raw wool and a provision
that sugar shall be free after May 1.
1916 The measure was secretly
discussed for a week in the demo
cratic caucus, where sweeping changes
were made in the administrative
features Of the bill and many further
reductions in rates made, notably
in metal wool and agricultural
schedules. Cattle and wheat have
been added to the free list. The
democratic leaders think they will be
able to line up enough votes to pass
the bill substantially as reported by
about the first of September.

GET RID OF M'REYNOLDS.

Despite the efforts of the demo-
cratic press to defend Attorney Gem
eral McReynolds, newspaper dis
that Attorney General MeReynolds
had full knowledge of the almost in
credible depravity of the Caminetti-
Diggs white slave cases before he
ordered the postponement of the
trials and that he was implored by
United States District Attorney Nc
Nab of San Francisco not to counte-
nance delay is revealed by the records
which were suppressed in the report
of the Attorney General to the Presi-
dent and made public from the White
House and again later suppressed by
the House Judiciary Committee.
The hidden records furnish the
most vital part of the correspondence

port to the President as an APPARENTLY

cago officials of a railway were in
dcted after two persons had been
slain on a crossing. The day of hold
ing human life cheaply has passed
THE TIMES predicts that the time
will come when even officials of in
dustrial corporations will have to
face criminal charges for unnecessary
deaths among employees. There are
so it is asserted by competent au-
thority, mills where cheap and un-
skilled labor is placed in charge of
complicated machinery so that costs
can be reduced. To be sure, the exc
cutives responsible for this may be
the greates- exDcnents of safety and
they may take every step possible to
avoid accidents. But, nevertheless
they occur and it is mainly because
of unskilled labor Though not in
tentionally responsible many officials
are morally cupable for deaths and
accidents that cripple because of
their ambitions to lower costs records.
This is going to be stopped. There is
an aroused sentiment against it and
the day is not far away when the
Official who entrusts complicated
tasks to cheap labor is going to be
held responsible for the blood that is
spilled and it will be in a criminal
court that the answer will have to be
made.

FIGURES WORK BOTH WAYS.

The people of Gary shouldn't OBJ
ject so much when the federal census
showing a population of 1892 is
used TO reckon statistics, thereby Civ
ing the city the appearance of having
an abnormal death, birth, health, or
crme rate. 1t is estimated that the
present population is $4,000.
State statistician has used the 1913
valuation and the 1910 population
and the result is that Gary is listed
as having the greatest wealth per
capita in the state. So, sometimes
