1~HROuGH- the arrest Of Mrs. Florence Conln Car
the slayer Of Mrs. Louise Bailey who
shot to death in Dr. Carman's office in Freeport
T. T. another celebrated murder that has attract
worldwide attention bids fair of solution. It would
ground that merely because she is under suspicion
and arrest she committed the crime. There arc, how
ever, circumstances surrounding the which
to place her in exceedingly dangerous position In
fact it may be difficult for her to explain them
before proper tribunal
The theory of the prosecution is that Mrs. Carman
intensely jealous o. her husband and that she
viewed with suspicion and dlsfavor all prepossessng
who went TO his Office for professional atten-
ton The extent 10 which she permitted her jealousy
carry her IS shown by the admitted fact that she
placed photograph in her husbands office that she
might know what passed between him and his
patients II also that she quarroed with and
struck a woman with whom her husband had had
transactions OF o financial nature. The public officials
also have found a witness who swears that he heard
tho shot that killed Mrs. Bailey and that he
woman walk away from the window through which
that shot fred The stories told by Mrs. Cafman
and daughter also conflict in essential particulars.
In short there seems TO be much ground in support
theory that ieelousy prompted the crime and that
Mrs. Carman committed It. Il may be, however that
in the murder trial that TO be inevitable the
woman will be able to prove her innocence. or
ono thing she may rest assured. That is that she
will have fair trial and ample opportunity 70 try
to explain away these things which make her

The Presidential Defense
In The Philadelphia Address
CFrom The washington Post.l

The address OF the President at
Philadelphia on the 4th instant was
from start TO finish defense Of his
administrative policies
That some OF them required this
attempt at defense was evidently not
doubted by the President. but the
weakness of any possible defense of
the repeal of the tolls exemption law
and Of the variegated and fabooed
Mexican policy was demonstrated IN
the feeble and illogical effort al Phil
adelphia.
No one has doubted the patriotism
or integrity Of the President, but that
cannot be said of the popular view OF
his Judgment IN State affairs nor OF
that view Of the practioability OF
some Of his methods or his policies.
His definition Of the rights OF man
could not be fuller than the declara-
tions Of the great instrument OF July
A, 1876
Rights OF men are qualified and
rightly limited, MS the President well
knows, by the capacity Of races and
Of individuals to properly use those
rights

that truth

Democracy On The Defensive

It is little wonder that the Repub-
Leans look forward with eagerness
and with confidence TO the Congress

racy has been given It's oppor-
tunity to prove whether or not il has
changed its habits from the time
When II was last in control OF the
Government That was many year
ago, but the memory or conditions
that Democratic rule brought about in
the country still exists Since thar
time the party has posed as a critic
and promiser II has also been busy
in declaring that IL had changed its
old habits, and was now a party that
could be trusted with the reins OF
power.
Il has had its chance and it has
failed. The same lack of constructive
ability Is still in evidence It Is still
the party that enacts into legislation
the prejudice and the ignorance of
its leaders. II has neither knowledge
Of business conditions nor desire 10
know the truth concerning them. It
legislates for the section. not for the
nation. Its standards are narrow
and petty, and its methods those Of
darkness and secrecy.
The appeal Of the Democratic party
has ever been to the army OF the dis
satisfied. ITS call has been to those
who have not prospered under exist
ing conditions, even though the fault
has been that of the individual him
self. 1t has waved high the banner
of class. Its gospel has been to
preach to the man who lahors that his
Interests lie in opposing the man who

dignity with which Mr. Paul N. War

The Sun has no doubt that Mr.. War
burg will be more than contented to
remain in the useful station in private
life where he has won the esteem OF
all men who know anything about him.
The trying circumstances which have
combined to keep him out OF public life
have also brought to him the eompen-

has received in the Senate.
There seem to be no defenders of the

WILLIAMS AND FAIRGROUNDS.
To the Editor Of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir Since paper Of Sunday took oc
casion to place Councilman Albert n.
Williams, Of the Twelfth ward, in the
position OF fighting what that paper
deems a wonderful offer for Fairgrounds
without reason, il seems TO me that it
might be well il the public should be
informed at least regarding part Of
that playground business, when it may
develop that Mr.. Williams, instead Of
retarding progress, is looking a long
way into the future, and being q real
hencfactor 10 lhe city.
| wonder if the public knows that for
months and months there has been
/ persistent effort on the part OF some Of
the friends Of the present owners to
( have this dump lot "taken oil the
hands of Sayers and the rest" the quo
tation being the exact words Of one Of
the most active lobbyists on this ques-
tion, as he stated them to me, in an
oft t.repeated effort to induce me to get
Mr. Williams TO bring the matter up
before the Council?
! wonder if the public knows that
word has been sent to Mr.. Williams,
time after time, that 'if he will get in
behind this playground the Democrats
Of the Twelfth ward will get behind him
next year and send him back to Coun-
ell, but if he does not, that ends him
forever politically in the Twelfth
ward 2"
| wonder if they know that Fall he
has to do is to lay il on the kids" Most
i anybody viii fall for the chilren.' was
another argument sent him TO cover up
| the real issue, namely, TO take this
/ white elephant "oii the hands Of Sayers
and the rest y
| wondo' if the public knows Of the
threats race that IF they don't take

/ ward playground or any other alleged

/ has dumped a lot of "wildernessn land

invaluable settlement house, kindergar-
ten, etc.
Why does not William p Bancroft
buy that lot and present il to the city
! ii he is so anxious for the city to own
il. without proposing ''trade-off,
which, to the uninitiated seems to be
the entering wedge toward the pur-
chase Of that immense strip from with

pike, in which Mr. Bancroft and one or
two others were SO vitality interested
some time ago, and which is even

The right and the capacity are two
separate and distinct propositions,
and both are necessary to warrant

The poems in Mexico have the right

Haiti. OF Santo Domingo. Have they
the capacity, Mr.. President? Are they

able rights are often possessed by
those untitled TO exercise them Ev-
cry sane person has right to trans
act business in this country. but the
records Of trade and the knowledge
Of individuals reveal the unfortunate
fact that some are not fitted to earn
even a living.

II was wide door the President
opened in his address at Philadelphia,
and the broad statements as to high
ideals. dreams, and visions that he in
dulged in will be found singularly un-
fitted for the practical conditions that
he has to meet in endeayoring to OBJ
tain practical results for his country
through his work of administration
on domestic problems and foreign
complications.
The clearest and best defined idea
in the entire address was that the
President realized that his tolls ex-
emption repeal and his Mexican mud
die policy are in dire need of de-
fense, Proclaiming the broad rights
of man Is no defense to the surren-
der Of the rights of the American peo-
pie in the canal

been one Of the closest friends Of the
long seeing Mr. Peter j. Ford. although
this same man states that Mr.. Ford has
mo interest in it.? Who, then, are
the rest?n Why such p strong effort
TO get this property deal through Mr.
Williams that even the solid vote Of
the Democratic party in the Twelfth
ward is offered as a reward for pull
ing it through and putting it on the
children77
What has changed Mr.. Bancroft2 He
objected TO the acquisition of the Nc
Kay property because it was SO close
to the Delamore Park and vet he
strongly advocates the purchase of this
place, which is even closer? Why did
he decline to sign the request for the
Third ward playground site?
And why the effort to blame all this
on Mr. Williams, simply because he APP
puently does not want to be a party
to what he has reason to believe is an
unloading game, even though he is
threatened with political annihilation
II he does not "como across2" IL
seems to me that five public play
grounds in one ward are about enough
for the Twelfth ward, and that the
people there know and appreciate it.
The Tenth ward has a new playground
that is admittedly large enough, and
so located that it will be of the great
est benefit to the residents Of that
ward. The Eleventh ward has Della
more Park, within one block of this
proposed UNLOAD. ? and there is no sem
timent for the acquisition Of the Say
ers tract among the people in that
ward, although a number Of them
signed a petition for the purchase Of the
land, mainly because it was circulated
by former Councilman John ,. McGov-
ern among his political friends in that
ward.
In my opinion, Mr. Williams is to be
commended for declining to be a party
to any such scheme. and ! think the
public will see through It. too, later on,
when there are the inevitable afterde
veloplnents. What the Twelfth ward
needs is streets that are not seas Of
mud. and not six Fairgrounds, and il
is for this that Mr.. Williams has evi-
