and did not stop until this city was
reached.
The dog made a journey homeward
alone over, a strange road. Arriving
at the clubhouse he jumped upon Jo-

club, until the official noticed the
note. He read it hurriedly. Then,
accompanied by the mascot, he start
ed for the scene of the breakdown in
an automobile. He reached the
stranded ball players in less than
three hours from the time the dog
had left the scene.

Having been cleared Of the charge

1t was accepted as certain from the
time the jury was empanelled in this

DEMOCRACY and efficiency
IS CONGRESSMAN KENT's Them

! Our American democracy has thus
far been incoherently operated, and,
as money is the sign OF coherent
power, it is largely plutocratic in It's
tendencies. This is not to be Won
dered at, for wealth peans comfort
and leisure and the things that men
most desire, if not given to ideals.
If creature comforts and measure
of independence may be obtained
through governmental agencies, there
is naturally strong pressure TO Sc
cure them in that way.
In speaking of woman's suffrage.
a very intelligent and high-minded
man recently said that he saw no rea-
son why women should vote; that he
believed they had plenty of other du-
ties fos perform; that it would appear
that there might be proper "diyi-
sion OF labor, between the sexes as
concerned politics. This typical illus
tration shows an entire ignorance OF
the Fundamental idea OF democracy.
There can no more be division OF
labor in exercising the functions OF
self-government than there can be a
division of labor in those necessary
bodily functions of breathing, diges-
ton, or the action OF the heart.
In sense, all government Is OBJ
iectionable from the standpoint Of the
individual It is objectionable because
liz means restraint and the form this
restraint shall take Is just as much a
choice of evils as we make when We
choose between the spells system,
with its greater hypothetical effcien-
cy, and the merit system, with its nee.
.essary elimination Of executive ability,
or when We choose between theoret-
ically perfect medium Of exchange In
irredeemable paper money or the
wasteful and extrayagant gold stand
ard. or when we choose between pri-
vately owned and operated public util-
tiles, supposedly free from politics,
and the same enterprises owned and
operated by the public and for the
public, with the waste and ineffciency
that accompany scattered and sporadic
management. And yet. in the public
interest, we are obliged to choose the
merit system, the gold standard and,
I believe, shall be obliged to choose
publicly owned and operated utilities
as the lesser evil or as the greater
good. We must shift our viewpoint
from the narrow confines and the brief
life of the individual to the breadth
and duration of society. before we can
think even in terms of the individual.

Old-Time Punishments.

A mode of punishment in the early days was that of performing penance in church. Bishop Meade, in his His tory of the Virginia Church" tells how offenders would stand in church, wrapped in white sheets, with white wands in their hands. In 1881, in Sa- lem, Mass, two women were so adorned in white and placed on stools in the center of the aisle of the meet ing-house, having on their heads a paper bearing the name of their crime. A popular punishment for the drunk ard was to place him in large-sized barrel, with the bottom removed, and two places made on the sides for his hands to come through, and the victim of Bacchus thus walked through the streets with his head and legs alone showing from a huge barrel.

They are reported to have been repulsed in night attack on the highway Desdames in the vi- cinity of Craonne, where the number of killed and wounded Germans was about 2,000, while the French loss was only about 100 killed and wound ed.
 It is also reported that the French troops in the Woevre region are main taining their advance in the forests between Aprimont and St. Mihiel, and in the forests of Le Pretore.

BRIDGES OF DEAD.
Yser Filled With Bodies of German
 Soldiers.

London, Oct 2S-At -11 o'clock an official statement from Paris received here announces that two furious night attacks by the Germans on the allies line in the region of Dixmude were repulsed, and that all along the front from Newport to Dixmude the Ger mans seem to have lessened theeir eff forts, while the allies, continuing their offensive to the north of Ypres, also have been successful farther to the south, making slight progress on the line between LeBassee and Lens.
 It is indicated from this statement and also from the statement issued by the French war office this after noon that the kaiser's generals have almost abandoned hope of advancing to Dunkirk and Calais.
 The correspondent of the Evening News wired that the Germans are falling back, but there is nothing in the other reports from the front to confirm this. Other reports are that the enemy is short of ammunition And yet they have crossed the river Yser seve ntimes and seven times have been driven back. The losses were terrible and at some points bridges across the river were actually formed by the bodies of dead German soldiers piled up in the sluggish current.
 Advices from Bruges and Ostend and other points in Belgium indicate that the Germans are stripping that territory of all soldiers except the barest garrisons, and are rushing all achievements possible to the army that is trying to break through the British -Belgian-French line that is guarding the approaches to Dunkirk and Calais.
 Further encouragement came from the press bureau of the Belgian gov ernment at Havre tonight in state- ment saying that the condition of the allied troops on the Yser was improv- ing, while the enemy's artillery fire was elackening and in some places
