police Lieutenant Charles Becker.
They must die by electrocution some
time next week, probably Monday.
The names of the gunmen are

Rosenberg and Jacob Seidenshner.
Their nick names respectively are

He said the case of the gun men did
not depend on the, result Of the Becker
case.

Well-Know Short Story and
Verse Writer Stricken
With Paralysis During
Winter, fingered a Long
Time, Succunbing in
Chicago.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Chicago, April 7.-Cy Warman, poet
and short story writer, died today
after a long illness.

look was unfavorable from the first.
He was removed to a hospital a few
weeks ago. where he continued to sink
until the end today.
Cy Warman was known as the "poet

the school Of railroad literature. His
stories about railroad men were based
where in the early eighties he worked
as a wiper, a fireman, and a locomo-
tive engineer. After a few years of
railroading he became i'll and was COM
PEELED to seek other employment.
He went to Denver and became a
newspaper reporter. He later began
publishing railway journal, but it
did not prove a success. Meantime he
was writing short poems and bits of
prose but there seemed to be no sale
for them One day when he was feel
ing unusually downhearted he wrote.
But there's a consolation
In the thought that when were dead,
If we have written something good
Our efforts will be read;
And friends will plant forget -me-nots s
And come and sit and sigh.
And irrigate our grave with tears
When we go off and die"
This attracted attention and his sue
cess thereafter was continuous, after
the publication in a New York paper
of column of his verse.
Warman was born in 1855 near
Greenup, Ill, on a homestead presente ed
TO his father by the government for
gallant service in the Mexican war.
The poet later met and was married
to Miss Marie Myrtle Jones who in
spired the lines for Sweet Marie a
song which became a great success.

THE DEATH OF MOLOCH.

NF GREAT INTEREST in considering
\ the question of the wars effect upon
peace, is an editorial by General Har-
rison Gray Otis in his paper, the Los An
geles Times. In recent issue, he says:
"Those Of us who were in the flesh dur
ing the awful days of the terrible Civil War
that ragged in America from the early spring
of 1861 to 1865, will recall probably an old
war song Of the day whose refrain ran thus:
" Many are the hearts that are weary to-
night, waiting fog the dawn Of peace.
"The struggle was awful and the battles
strenuously fought. on both sides. To that
time it was the most destructive Of human
life ever fought upon the earth, and con-
tinued so until the present conflict now
raging along the French frontier where the
Germans are finding every step of their ad-
vance contested fiercely by the French and
the British soldiers.
"The new war is but month old at this
writing, and yet there are millions of hearts
weary waiting for the dawn of.peace in that
war-torn continent, hearts bleeding with an
guish for those who are exposed to the dan
gers Of war.
1T is generally recognized that there was
no valid foundation for the conflict now
raging, that it is disgrace to humanity and
an awful menace to modern civilization. 1t
is impossible to conceive that mankind will
much longer tolerate the existence of such
wars as are now cursing Europe.
"Women will not go on much longer en-
during the pains of childbirth, the anxiety
of rearing children, the expense of training
them for life, lavishing love, toll and money
on their sons, to have them made food for
powder and balls. Already there are low,
deep mutterngs that forebode evil in the
future for the man who raises word in
favor of war The day of the fierce war god
Moloch, who mounted the cone of burning
mountain in hell and shouted: My voice is
still for war is about at an end among
mankind, and it is quite time it was So"

THE COUNTY FAIR.

\ FARMER owes himself an outing or
~ vacation of at least one week a year
He owes it to his family, he owes it
to his business to keep in touch with up to-
date ideas, to be progressive The county
fair points the way
The real object of the fairs should be,
first Of all, educational. Then amusements
should be furnished so as to give the farmer
or others attending change and rest after
the long months of hard work "All work
and no play is no better for the farmer
than for anyone else.
All classes can be equally benefited by
attending the fair no matter whether poor
or wealthy; whether farmer or mechanic; /;
whether private citizen or public official.
Thus the entire state must profit.
The fair helps the farmer boy and the
farmer girl because no bright boy or girl can
attend an agricultural fair without broad
ening their ideas, and inspiring in them high
er ambitions for success in their work. They
enjoy much honest amusement and absorb
vast amount of general information from
the fair and all its departments.
The fair helps the farmers hired man be-
cause it teaches him how the simple appli-
cation of "brains" can reduce the amount
of labor needed to accomplish the farmers
task. He may own farm himself some day
and the more he can comprehend and prac-
tice science in his work, or make brains
save the labor of his hands, the greater will
be his success.
In fact, no man, woman or child can at
tend good county or interstate or state fair
without going homo with better under
standing of the work, better equipped in
mind and body to meet every emergency.

world peace will come true-much

war Though the war was the one thing this
learned man believed could not occur and
one thing which he must view with unutter-

probably advances the peace propaganda of

inhumanity. There are those who say that
this war will set back the world centuries.
1t may do so in the progress of fine arts
and sciences, but will it in the growth of
human brotherhood?
