City detectives were puzzled We'd
nesday by the death of Mrs. Matte
Woodley, whose body was found late
Tuesday in vacant lot near 3450 Fox
street. The woman, who lived at
2340 Market street, had been
strangled. Her belt had been knotted
about her neck and drawn tight. She
apparently had been dead for at least
twelve hours. Two Negro men, with
whom the woman was believd to have
quarreled, were questioned Wednesday
by Detectives Mulligan and Rinker,
but were not held. 1t was believed
she was drugged and then strangled
in a house near the place where her
body was found, and then carried to
the vacant lot.

RAGOUT MAKES SAVORY DISH
With Veal, or Any Other Meat, French
Cook Turns OUT Concoction That
Is Triumph.

A writer in French newspaper
lauds ragout of veal Tor other meaD.
declaring it as savory and nourishing
dish as any one could desire. 1t
is also said to be a most economical
dish for a family, and this is how
the French cook prepares it:
She uses about two pounds of the
shoulder of veal, which she cooks for
20 minutes or SO in small iron pot,
with salt, pepper and butter. until
1t is well Drowned. She turns ii over
from time to time. Once she adds a
small wineglassful of water to prevent
burning (She is very chary of spoil
ing good things by water dilution. and
in the iron pot there is little dan
ger of burning) She then sprinkles
and stirs in well two teaspoonfuls OF
tiour-that is, she sprinkles it over
the meat and turns the meat over and
over; then she adds four large car
rots cut into small dice. four onions
| (sliced). several pieces of parsley,
about two cupfuls of peas and glass
full of water. She cooks plateful of
small, uncooked potatoes, cut in half.
From time to time she stirs it, and
the savory steam that arises at each
removal of the lid is a promise amply
fulfilled when partaking of it later,
Other meats than veal can be used,
and leftover vegetables of any sore;
but what makes it good is the way
it is done.

Men OF Convictions.

BRADSHAW, Neb., April ito the
Editor OF The Bee: what the world is
in most need OF today OF men Of strong
convictions in the pulpit" The foregoing
was clipped from religious periodical,
which goes on to say:
We are living in days OF unrest doubt
and Hkeptioism. The spirit of doubt and
unbelief seems TO pervade the very air we
breathe.
II men OF strong convictions are needed
for the pulpit in these days OF unsettled
conditions. is II not OF equal Importance
that we have men OF strong convictions
in our public offices OF the county, state
and nation? This "unsettlement and un-
rest" Is not confined to the pulpit alone
not by any means. but looms up in It's
most dangerous forms in our govern
mental affairs. Selfishness, coupled with
the egotistical IT." so to speak. are also
in the very air We breathe. Partisan
blindness is contributing its full share OF
agitation and unrest and is destroying
much good and is keeping up a constant
war that is working like the hidden
lenven in the body polite to the destruc-
tion of our best form OF government.
Yes men OF strong convictions, n they
are established upon correct theories. are
and state. The only speech that moves
men to action is the speech born OF con-
vicuons. and the only preaching that
cCmes with the power that will save men
must be the preaching born OF a whole
hearted and assured faith in the eternal
gospel OF Christ. Give us men of honest
and unselfish convictions and both our
pulpit and civil government will be safe.
just now the time is opportune for a
discussion along the line we have mapped
out in the foregoing; when we behold
men with ability and without ability
with proper convictions and in many cases
without either convictions or judgment.

Platform Experts.

Secretary Bryan's statement attempting to
reconcile the administrators demand for toll
exemption repeal with the psrty's national plat
form declarations is characterized by the inter
esting explanation that while platform planks
are binding, they should be considered as only
advisory when they refer to international Ques-
tions. Presumably, II the administration
needed just the opposite platform construction
or definition to help 1t out OF it's present embar-
rassment IL would be forthcoming.
The Baltimore platform specifically demands
free canal tolls for American coastwise ships
The president elected on that platform, together
with his cabinet premier. who dictated IT, are
now leaving no stone unturned in an effort to
repeal toll exemption in repudiation of the plat
form. No wonder they find It necessary to re-
sort to all the plauslbility Of rhetoric to
their action.
But, after all. the country Is apt to discount
what both the president and Mr. Bryan may saw
Of platforms and their binding effect. IT has
been recalled that seventeen years ago the pres
ident, writing to a magazine said: Platforms
win end in broken powers" Mr.. Bryans fam
oua dietum that platform are binding as much
for what they omit as for what they contain" is
still more fresh in the public mind. On what
can the arbitrary view now rest that one plank
in a platform, because II happens 20 involve a
foreign policy as incidental to a strictly domes-
tic subject, Is to be considered advisory" while
the others are to be taken literally for what
they say? Any platform plank found 10 be clash
ing with the purpose Of the administration, o.
the party in action now or later, may safely be
put down as merely advisory"

What Of the State Banksl

The new federal banking law includes an
invitation to state banks TO join in the federal
reserve system. What are the state banks go
ing to do about Il?
Obviously, ~ all the banks we're to qualify
under the federal act the various state banking
systems would eventually be self-eliminated and
we would have throughout the country a single
uniform system of banking subject to exclusive
federal regulation and Jurisdiction. Whether
this would be a good thing or desirable thing
is decidedly debatable. II might be favored by
those who believe in going the limit OF central
ization In government industry and finance, but
It would be bitterly opposed from the states
rights viewpoint the greatest step yet pro-
posed toward stamping out state lines.
The prospect however s that the state
banks will not be stampeded into the national
organization by the new federal law unless some
foreseen contingency should arise The latest
information available is that thus far only
seventy-three out of total Of 21 ,7S4 state bank
ing institutions have Joined the federal system.
II these banks saw nothing in the old national
banking act sufficient to make them take out
national charters, the new law holding out II
anything, fewer inducements, 1t is urged, will
be no more powerful TO pull them over. In
states like Nebraska. where state banks
compelled to contribute to deposit guaranty
funds, the guaranty law presumably forced into
the national system practically all the state
banks that we're wayering between the two.
We're II not for the exactons OF the guaranty
fund II is even possible that some OF the
tional banks might prefer to give up their char
ters and become state banks--something they
will not do, however, under existing onerous
conditions
Taking it altogether, it would seem only
reasonable to expect the new federal banking
law to leave the state banks and the state bank
ing systems in relatively unchanged positions.

Intemperance in Speech.

Although during the fight in which Chair
man Underwood defeated Congressman Hob
son for the Alabama senatorial nomination,
Hobson denounced his opponent as the tool OF
the liquor interests, on the day after the cleo
tion he wired him:
Accept my congratulations upon your nomination
As the democratic nominee, you can count on my
loyal support In the general election.
Now, in Alabama, where a democratic NOM
ination is tantamount to election, such promise
means little. Underwood is as good as elected
senator, as. OF course. Hobson knows for all
that the general election will do win be TO ratfy
what has already been donei
But Hobson's message raises another more
interesting point II Underwood be really the
tool OF the liquor interests. how can Hobson, as
the exponent Of prohibition, ttuitify himself by
endorsing and supporting him? Possibly Un-
derwood ia not as bad in this regard as he has
been painted, or possibly Hobson did not know
what he was talking about and did not care.
