The Suicide of.New YorkS Treasurer

Political circles have had no greater sensation
within recent years than the suicide of John j. Ken
nedy, New York State Treasurer, who cut his throat
from ear to ear, recently. in a Buffalo hotel, after. he
had been to appear before District At.
torney Whitman in the statewide graft inquiry. The
motive OF Kennedy's suicide has been the occasion
Of much speculation.
The New York Tribune blames the political sys.
tenn" for Mr.. K%ennedy's death, and AYERS that:
His death Is an awful warning to- the people of
this sCNew York; state against the scope and power
OF Murphyism. Mr.. Kennedy was a kindly, warm
hearted man, a loyal friend, a doting father, a loving
husband, a good son Of his church. His home life
was exemplary. He had all the human virtues"
He was well to do financially. His accounts as State
Treasurer seem to have been accurate. District
Attorney Whitman says that he had no evidence Of
dishonesty. or graft against him. Thus, there ex.
listed none of the customary reasons for suicide.
Dragged into the cesspool of graft which boss
control made of recent state administrations, Ken.
nedy was faithful to the end. In the face Of this
death how futile seems talk Of. reorganising the

!, Cdpturino the Markets 0fthe World

The Democrats have had much to say about cap
turing the markets Of the world, and the phrase
has become one of jest about the country. In a
warm discussion in the Senate, the other day" the
subject was preached, when Senator Humphrey of
Washington made use of the following remarks, which
are timely, and go to show how the Democrats new
tariff law is succeeding in the capturing business.
Mr.. Humphrey said: .:,
mi. Chairman, one Of the favorite claims of our
Democratic friends has been that We ought to place
the new tariff law on the statute books In order
that we might &c, out and capture the markets Of
the world. That is a great catch phrase of our
Democratic friends. We have had a little experience
with that law, and, wish just briefly to submit a
few figures to show how we have been capturing the
markets rOf the world under this Democratic tariff
law aA ~.
I ""That great efficiency expert at the head Of the
Department of Commerce, Mr.. Redfeld, day before
yesterday submitted some figures for publication on
our foreign trade, but he gave the. entire years 1Sl2
and 1913. l want to show the effect since the pres
ent law has been IN force. l take the last figures |
have been-able TO obtain. ! will give some>of them.
Our imports for December, 1912, were 1854, 100000;
for December: 1918; 1874, 100000. We captured the
markets there by !$29,00O,000 in favor Of the Tor.
eiguer.: The exports for December; 1912, we're $3.50.
100000, and for December, 1918, $685. 100000.
There the foreigners captured. our market to the
extent of $17,o0O,0o0, or, in other. words, in Deem
Der the loss Of trade by. us was $46,0o9,Qoo, the. first
time that this has been true in the; history Of this
nation since the old Wilson tariff law went OF the
statute books. Applause on the Republican side.)
The. customs receiptsSfor December, 1912, we're 81
100000; for December, 1918; $2l,0o0.0oo, a loss OF
a little. over, 81, 900, 900. Customs receipts for Janu.
ary, 1918, were $4,000, 900; for January, 1914, $23,.
100000, q loss OF. about ;e,ooo,O0o. What a familiar
story that Isl For the first, time since the old Wilson
tariff law disappeared this nation is running in debt!
Every day that the new tariff law has been upon
the statute books our loss Of trade has been more
than, 32,0oo,OoO. Every day that law has been upon
the statute. books this nation has run in debt over
q half . million dollars. That is the way we are
capturing the markets Of the world"

enIndidn Probate Affairs

~ Cato Sells, United States Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, has announced the appointment Of a large
number aofe probate attorneys to look after the inter-
iests Of indian minors In eastern Oklahoma, following
the revelation Of an unfortunate condition of affairs.
This partsaf Oklahoma is unique In the world, in the
large percentage of the land owned by minors. At
the. beginning of statehood a~bouts55 per cent Of the
allotted area In what was Indian Territory was own.
ed by minors. OF course, the percentage growssless
all the time, as tho minors reach their majority, but
tits stiff large. The; reason. for the remarkable. con
dttion was4,the, fact that prior to liked dates every,
every lndian child was entitled to anasallotment OF
land and . per capita interest, In the undivided
moneys Ana |property44of the tribest 70 which he be.
longed, ~: ass n Il, Stss ss..
:. With. the exception of a few reservations this
condition did not prevail on the west side Of the
new state. The trainers of the constitution, although
their attention was called to the need, did not pro.
vide any special PROBATE machinery to care for the
unusual condition on the eastern side of the state.
Under. the.,law the parent of an Indian minor Is his
natural Guardian and has the right to appointment
MS legal guardian unless he valves 1t. The parent
may himself be treated as a ward of the government
and he denied the right to handle his own estate,
but he can act as guardian for a houseful Of children,
each with as much property as he has himself That
such a method OF conserving the property Of minors
would prove unsatisfactory might. have been fore
seen. No, matter how careful the county Judge. who
is also the judge Ia probate, may be, he cannot
personally familiarize himself with the condition Of
each estate. but must rely on evidence, some Of
which iss neither expert: nor dlsinterested.
s.: If thet1ndian Rights association had been a prac,
tical organization 1t would have provided machinery
for conserving the estate of these Indian minors.
This could have been done by wholesale guardian
ships, managed by salaried agents, selected for
their ability and character. It would have been q
great aid, not only 10 the Indian minors, but to the
country i'm general, for a large company, representing
many estates, would have been able to locate desir-
able tenants on desirable lands, one Of the chief
difficulties in developing that country agriculturaly.
The association has painted lufid pictures Of the con.
dition o.. The Indian minors and has caused investi.
cations galore, but. for some unaccountable reason
has failed to adopt a practical plan Of relief. Prac-
tically all the county judges have done all they could
to conserve minors estates and have welcomed aid
rendered by district Indian agents. But their work
has %beenilimited to preventing gross frauds. They
have been unable to bring about the actual. develop
ment of the minors estates. as could have been done
under the plan suggested. @ E

Orioles are limited to certain areas, but there is
land enough everywhere to give every wife flower
bed if it were only properly distributed
Throughout the country one marriage In every
eleven ends in the divorce courts, and IN some states
the ratio is one in seven.
Alarmed at this high percentage of domestic IN
felicity, the Presbyterian General Assembly has
gone on record for federal divorce law to make cou
pies stay married when unhappy
Laws my help some, but flower beds are better.
Babies and flower beds make home worth while.
1t takes so little room to make flower bed.
In Minneapolis the other day investigator
found 81 personsthe father, the mother, six chill
dren and 13 Misunderstanding in three stuffy rooms

could speak English
Yet Minneapolis isn't a crowded city. 1t has acres
and acres of parks, lawns and lakes-room enough
for every family to have fine garden and number
of flower beds
Is it because you're too poor that wife hasn't a
flower bed?
Then that's unfortunate and you have our sym

Or is it that you expect her to do so much drudg-
ing work indoors that she hasn't time strength to
