THE OUNCE OF PREVENTION
(Hartford Times)

A thirteen-year-old youngster died Of
tetanus in Brooklyn. He stepped on a
rusty nail, covered the wound with ad-
hesive plaster and went about his
play while the dread disease developed.
This moves a physician to call atten-
ton to the fact that the tetanus germ
can develop only where the air is ex-
cluded, and that had the wound been
washed with an antiseptic and kept
open the boy would have, in all prob
ability, escaped. How many lives have
ended in agony because this simple
little fact was not known.

MEDITATIONS OF UNCLE JOSH

] wonder what the dear old boys
mean when they throw fit about the
tax levy rate of .916 mills not going to
be used in 1915, but later in 1914?
We all agree that they are not very
familiar with the law. But from the
way Mr.. Cromley renders opinions he
ought to know, and they should con-
suit him. Show him a little respect,
as he has only few more months
to live as advisor and then he will be
a common citizen like the rest of us.
The role of common citizen may not
suit, but it will be restful. There is
only one way for him to keep in the
lime light and that will be to get a
job with some of these big tax dodg.
ers and help them to dodge their share
of the tax. He would get the support
and sympathy of lot of people who
have been letting the little tax payer
do it all.
Honest Abe Lincoln said, God loved
the common peole for he made so
many of them" The G. o. p. boss
says, eve love the common people be-
fore election and when they help us to
win we will get our love back again"
Love with the G. o. p. boss means
money, and when he is drawing love
out OF a public treasury he is all
smiles, but when he can't he has indi-
gestion and is a first class crouch.
The G. o. p. has been so busy try
ing to make us believe there is panic
that they are neglecting their wives
and babies. Now, if they don't get
busy pretty soon there will be panis
when the women find out why they
are being neglected. Just see what
the women Of England are doing, if
you don't believe it.
Thirty times will the Republican
voter be visited this summer by can
didates of their own color and a won
derful bunch will they be from Mister
Want-to-Be Continued to Mister Want.
to-Get-Back, Has-Been and Would
Like-to-Be? How is Mr.. Republican
Voter going to get through it all? The
and caterwauling will be
beyond description
The Republicans can't get over the
fact that wool is higher under free
trade" than with protection, but it is
pretty hard shedding to get the farmer
to listen when he can walk up and get
good, hard money for his wool and
dozen buyers for every clip. Rip
Van Winkle has been asleep a long
time and it will be sometime before
he can get used to government by the
people instead of few bosses.
The Republican pie counter is as
bare as is the Sahara desert and when
the Weary Willie smell around and
don't even find a bone they howl so
dismal-like and look so mournful that
one does not have the heart to take
them up for vagrancy.

GOMPERS FREE OF CONTEMPT
Charges Against Federation Presi-

missed in Supreme Court.

Washington, D. C.-Conviction of
President Gompers, ex-Vice-President
Mitchell and Secretary Morrison of
the American Federation of Labor
of contempt of court in the celebrat-
ed Bucks Stove and Ranage case has
been set aside by the Supreme Court.
The highest tribunal said that the
statute of limitations barred prosecu-
ton. A Jail sentence of thirty days
imposed upon Gompers and fines of
$500 given the others were set aside.
Justice Holmes, in beginning the
opinion, said that contempts were
not to be treated as coonspiracies, a
point urged upon the court in behalf
of the labor leaders. He said the case
turned on the point that the contempt
proceedings should have been started
within three years from the date of
the committing of the offenses. He
said that proceedings for contempt
should be speedy and thus come with
in the purpose of the statute of limi-
tations, which requires prosecutions
within three years
Justices Pitney and Vandevanter
dissented.

139 Die IN QUAKE
Hundreds of SiciIians Suffer
Injuries by Eruption of
Mount Etna.
ENTIRE vILLAGEsDEsTROYED
In Linera Alone ITO Persons Are Dead
and 500 Badly Hurt-Rodies of
Victims Line Roadways.

Catania, Sieily-A great earthquake
has brought death and destruction to
many villages near Mount Etna. The
number of dead is officially placed at
139, with about $50 injured, but as
yet large part of the devastated ter
ritory has not been inspected. Later
reports tended to show that those es-
Inmates would be increased.
The affected zone extends from Zaf-
farana, the highest village on Mount
Etna, to the sea between Aoi Reale
ON the south and Ciarre on the north.
1t includes Linera, the center of the
disturbance; Pisano and Santa Ven
erina.
In L1nera alone Ito persons were
killed and three hundred injured. In
the village of Bongardio thirteen dead
and twenty-seven injured have been
taken from the ruins. At Cosentini
sixteen were killed and many injured.
These villages and many smaller
places were practically leveled.
Motor Glars which made the trip
through the devastated region were
often forced to make long detour
owing to the deep assures across the
road. The enormous force of the
earthquake was evident everywhere,
and the entire district presented a
spectacle of desolation, ruin and
death.
Peasants rushed TO meet the cars,
imploring aid. From the debris ag-
onizing cries could still be heard.
Others asked that their injured reia-
tives be transported to Cantania as
all train service has been abandoned
owing to the collapse of bridges,
broken tracks and INSTRUCTED tunnels
Throughout the night rescue parties,
surgeons, Red Cross attendants, SOL
diers and priests worked among the
ruins of the villages on the eastern
slope of Mount Etna, which were de-
vastated by the earthquake. The list
of known dead and injured remains
about the same as yesterday, but it
is believed many are still under the
wreckage of houses.
Surgeons performed operations in
the open by torchlight Peasants
whose relatives are missing still
hoped to unearth them alive, and
urged the rescuing parties to hasten
the work of excavation.
Professor Paci of the Mount Etna
Observatory says that the Intensity
of this earthquake was greater than
that at Messina in 1908.
