Little Girl.

Little girl, you look so small,
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear no shimmy-skirt,
Don't you wear no petty-skirt-
Just your corset and your hose,
Are those all of your underclothes?
Little girl, when on the street,
You appear to be all feet,
With your dress so very tight
You surely are an awful sight;
Nothing on to keep you warm,
Crazy, just to show your form!
Little girl, you won't live long,
Just because you dress all wrong;
Can't you wear more underclothes
Than your corset and your hose?
After awhile, | do believe,
You will dress like Mother Eve!

Papers and Politicians.

The Bowling Green Messenger thus
explains its views as to the attitude of
newspapers in political contests:
One of Kentucky's prosperous papers
announces that it has not printed or ac-
cepted for printing any paid matter for
candidates for Office, and takes the po-
sition that newspaper should advocate
the cause of the man it believes best fit
ted for the place.
This is as you look at it. The news
paper man is no more called upon to
take sides in a fight and to give his space
in the campaign than would any other
business man. OF course there is de-
partment in every paper that should not
be for sale, and that is the editorial col
umns, where opinions are expressed
These should be unpurchased and I'M
purchasable. If the editor wants to give
space for the advocacy of this mans
cause, it is his right. but not his boun-
den duty. In the matter of party pa
pers, it would be we'll always for the ed
itor to steer clear in factional fight in
order the more easily TO adjust himself
to support the nominee of his party"
The Messengers position is absolutely
right and proper. 1t is the position that
should be taken by every newspaper that
purposes to run on business principles.
A newspaper has just as much right to
sell its space to candidates as to men in
other lines of business or enterprise.
Judg ment should be exercised in this as
IN any class of advertising, but so long
as the politicians ''ad' is legitimate
and ''open and above board" there is no
reason why publisher shouldn't accept
it at the regular space rates. In the past
the newspapers permitted the politicians
to work" them to death with free adj
vertising, which helped the politicians
but did the papers no good. The State
Journal is glad to see that the ed.
itorial point of view has changed to the
extent that in most newspaper offices
the candidates are paying for what they
get.-Frankfort State Journal.

MILITANT RUINS
MASTERPIECE BY
AMERICAN ARTIST
Portrait of Henry James Is
Slashed-Gandstand Burned
in Ulster.

LONDON, May 4.-The portrait OF
Henry James, the novelist, by John
| Singer Sargent, the American artist,
hanging in one fthe galleries of the
Royal Academy. was ruined this aft
ernoon by a suffragette.
The woman who committed the out
rage gave her name as Mrs. Wood.
She belongs to the group of mill
tants called "the wild women"
Carrying a butchers cleaver under
her cloak, Mrs. Wood approached the
painting in a casual manner While
the attendant was in another part
of the room she whipped out the
cleaver and with swift, sure strokes
slashed the picture repeatedly before
bystanders seized and stopped her
RMS. Wood was accompanied by
man who attempted to impede those
who restrained her. The crowd
turned on him and gave him a beat
ing.
When the police appeared on the
scene Mrs. Wood was turned over to
them.
The Academy was opened to the
public today. The picture damaged
by Mrs Woods was considered one OF
Sargent's masterpieces, and was one
o fthe most prominent canVases at
the exhibition. 1t is badly gashed,
one of the marks of the cleaver be-
ing across the face.

70 WITNESSES
AGAINST BECKER
Whitman viii Present Many
New Persons in Second
Murder Trial.

NEW YORK, May 4.-For the sec
ond trial of Charles Becker former
police lieutenant, on charge of haV-
ing instigated the murder of Her
man Rosenthal which will begin on
Wednesday, District Attorney Charles
S. Whitman, will call seventy wit
nesses. Many new faces, it is said,
will be seen in the witness chair, and
several witnesses prominent in the
first trial will not appear.
As at the first trial, the States
case will be made around the story
of Jack Rose, which will be CORA
borated by "Bridgie" Webber and
Harry Vallon. The other member of
the quartette made famous in the
previous trial is Sam Schepps. but
the ruling of the Court of Appeals
in granting Becker a new trial dis
credited his testimony and made il
valueless at the coming trial The
feature of the first Becker
trial too, will be missing. The death
in the electric chair in Sing Sing
prison on Easter Monday of the four
gunmen convicted of the actual mur-
der of Rosenthal removed them from
the scene and prevented a repetition
of the drama enacted when they were
led into the courtroom to be identified
by witnesses as the murderers.
For the defense Martin T. Manton
persists in a policy of silence as TO
his plans. 1t is said, however. that
Becker is anxious to take the stand
in his own behalf and that Manton
may permit him to do So
1t is expected that several DAYS Will
be occupied in securing a jury. The
trial will probably occupy three
weeks or a month.
