LONDON, oct. 22.-"Indian forces will soon be taking their places on the firing line beside their British comrades" said Lord Crewe, secre- tary of state for India. in an ad- dress delivered last Tuesday and just released by the censor.
 The enemy makes 1t d matter of reproach that we are using Asiatic troops in Europe. I reply in the words of the famous sentence over the gateway of the University of Ab- erdeen:
 "' They say-what they say. Let them say

Despite Chill of Air in Bis bee, Outdoor Progressive Meeting Well Attended and the Candidates We'll Received
 IS ATTACKED
Governor Young Says Pres ent Administration is In efficient and Extravagant and Specifics Wherein These Conditions Exist
Special to The Republican,

BISBEE, Oct. 22.-There was a chill in the air here tonight but none in Bisbee progessivism. The meeting at which Candidates Young and Alexander spoke was well at tended. There was a crowd of sev- eral hundred and notwithstanding remained throughout and literally applauded the speakers. The meet ing was presided over by MT. Noble, one of the candidates for the legis- lature from Cochise.
 The address of George U. Young vas the best he has made in the campaign, clear cut and convincing. He was interrupted by several ques
 tions, offered by socialist, but he answered them good -humoredly and to the evident satisfaction of the audience.
 He said that the progressive party was concerned about only one thing and that was good government. It had no quarrel with the rank and file of either the democratic or the republican party; that it was as much to the interest of the average
 member of either party as it was to rrogressives, that there should be
 good government to which the prog
 ressive party is pledged.
 MT Young concluded with an at tack upon the inefficiency and extra nf hn nrf cit ministration, specifying wherein it had been extravagant and incompe- tent.
 Captain J. L. B. Alexander devoted the first half of his speech to the state government, to it's failure of accomplishment of anything that it had promised it's disregard of the laws. It had been, he said, law
 unto itself. He alluded to the big white state car and the use the governor was making of that trophy
 of war for the purposes of his cam
 paign. That costly vehicle, Captain Alexander said, had been placed at the disposal of Madame Tingley and her Buddhist band to electioneer for the governor in the guise of carry ing on a propaganda against capital punishment.
 Captain Alexander addressed him.
 self especially to the dry amendment
 which the progressive party had en-
 dorsed and for which it was now

Wife of Freeport Physician Makes Good Witness ill Her Own Behalf, Appar- ently Answering Cues tions With Frankness
 ADMITS SOME POINTS
 OF PROSECUTION Does Not Deny She Install ed Telephone Device in Husbands Office, But Says She Was Not In sanely Jealous of Him

MINEOLA, N. Y, Oct 22.-Mrs. Florence COnklin Carman took the witness stand in her own defense in the supreme court late today to enter a sweeping denial of the charge that she murdered Mrs. Louise Bailey Item by item she went over the story of Celia Coleman. a negress in her employ at the time of the tragedy in the Carmen home at FreepOrt last June, and declared false every accu- satiOn made against her by her for mer maid. She will be cross-eXa inted tomorrow
 A fabrication from beginning to end was, in essence, her characteri- zatiOn of the maids narrative of the night Mrs. Bailey was shot and killed in the office of Edwin Carman husband of the defendant, and of subsequent happenings in the Carman home.
 The story told by the girl was of fered by the prosecution as tending directly to connect Mrs. Carman with the shooting, and the efforts of Mrs Carman's counse lin questioning their client were designed chiefly to dis credit the servants testimony. Mrs Carman responded with alacrity and seemingly with entire frankness to the questions of her attorney. Her demeanor was that of a woman in complete command of herself.
 On occasion she smiled. Again her face wore an expression of sadness, as when she mentioned her visit to the morgue to view the body of the woman the state claims she killed. She looked into the faces of the jurors with steady eyes when she desired to impress them with some particular point, and she seemed resentful when certain points in the story of the negress were un- der discussion. Mrs Carman was on the stand nearly an hour under di- rect examination.
 The wife of the Freeport physician admitted that she had installed a telephone instrument in her husbands S office, but flatly denied that she was "insanely jealous" She said she had heard people ask her husband how all his girls were" Sometimes he stayed out all night
 Because of her daughter, she said she did not want to obtain divorce, but if her husband was as bad as he had been painted to her, she wanted to know it.
 If she found what she had heard was true, she said, she had deter mined to live in the same house with him as if nothing had happened. but she would never speak to him again. Then, on the morning after the mur der she declared she tore out the device that the district attorney had termed a mechanical eavesdropper" because she thought her husband ai ready had enough to bother him. She explained her every action.
 Mrs Carman even corroborated some of the states witnesses by ad- hitting that on the evening of the murder she called to her daughter Elizabeth, to stop playing the piano, But she did this, she swore, because she had a headache, and not, as the prosecution had intimated, because she wanted to listen over the me- chanical eavesdropper to what her husband was saying to some woman in the office.

Naturally therefore, all the
men and women everywhere who
profit out of these things are
at one in Directing to the plays
and performances which expose
them. This we can understand.
What Is also clear is that men
and women who have no profit in
such evil. but. while themselves
entirely honest persons, have per
suaded themselves that the toll
Grafton of vice is necessary in
our cities, or, more probably, have
accepted without thought this
doctrine from a past generation,
and can sit through the average
vaudeville suggestiveness with
out discomfort, join in opposition
to the policy of letting in the
light. They are consistent with
themselves.
1t is perfectly consistent for an
honest police official to tolerate a
segregated district and censor a
play which attacks it. No dis
honor is involved. Such an Of
fetal only stands for the con
sistency of folly.
Some few men, and fewer Wo-
men, whose lives have been de-
voted TO this warfare against
wrong, unite with the others in
an attempt to censor a perform
ance which would bring TO the
light the evils they are fighting.
Some of these censors have
grown old. Some, like Anthony
Comstock, have grown extreme
ly tiresome.
And some have not yet caught
the inspiration of the new age
which is upon us. They need
time. There is plenty of lime.
And in time the men and women
who were brought up to believe
that you can not touch pitch
without being defiled'- will learn
that innocence is the gift of God
which enables His children to
touch pitch without being de-
