SAVED FROM ITS
own IGNORANT ACT
European War Has Served to OFF,
set Effects Of Free-Trade
Party Domination.

II ever a political party was saved
from its own economic ignorance or
perversity by an outside event, this
European war has saved the Demo-
cratic party of our day from the
plain evidence of it's own folly.
The war has been a double life
preserver for the Wilson administra-
ton In this case. It has not only
operated exactly as a protective Tar
If would have operated in the matter
of imports. by holding them down to
reasonable and non-competitive pro-
portions but has greatly enlarged our
balance of trade against Europe by
reason OF the enlarged demand from
Europe for our eatable things. which
we happen to have in abundance, and
for munitions of war. Thus wholly
fOrtuitous combination of circum-
stances. with which the Wilson ad-
ministration had no more to do than
with the tides of the Bay Fundy, 1t
has secured all the advantages here
at home of Protective Tariff. ex
cept the public revenue which it lost
by making as nearly a Free-Trade
Tariff as 1t could. and all the advan-
tages of increased sales in the for
eign markets, in spite of its sys-
tematic effort to secure an increased
sale of foreign goods in our market.
To speak about the grave disturb
ances caused by the gigantic Euro
pean war" as Mr.. McAdoo does, as II
It had been an obstacle to such pros
perity as we now have. when obvious
ly 1t has been the main cause Of keep
ing American producers out Of the
pit. which the Wilson administration
carefully and Obstinately dug for
them, is pure frivolity; while for Mr..
Redfield to speak of chose who have
brought the country through the most
commercial shock in its his
tory. and landed her safe and strong
upon the peaceful shores of pros
perity and influence" is no more
than an ostrich-like effort to claim
for the Wilson administration some
occult and magnetic power over oper-
alive forces and events with which
this administration has had no more
IN do than Julius Caesar To saw
such things now is Democratic bust
ness. and all the Washington oracles
are hard at It with straight faces,
but It is a foolish effort.

The NEBRASKA
TORPEDO victim

English Convoy Vessel To Port
Of Liverpool When Exam
E. ination Is Made.

London. May 26.-The American
steamer Nebraskan. Captain Green,
Mom Liverpool. May "a. for Dele
ware Breakwater. was torpedoed to-
day by a submarine at a point forty
miles west of Fastnet. off the south
coast OF Ireland.
The sea was calm at the time. The
crew at once took to the boats and
stood by the steamer.
II was soon ascertained that the
Nebraskan was not seriously damag-
ed. She had been struck forward
and her foreholds we're full of water.
No Lives Lost.
The crew returned on board and
got the vessel under way. No lives
were lost among the crew. The Ne
braskan did not carry any passen-
gers.
The foregoing Information was re-
ceived today by the British Admir-
atty in London and II was at once
communicated to the American En-
bassy.
II was learned today that the sub
marine was seen last night of the
Southern coast of Ireland. She was
sighted shortly after 3 p. m, near
Galley Cove. which is about ten miles
from Fastnet. No connection has
been established between this Incl
dent and the mishap to the steamer
Nebraskan. which is reported to have
occurred shortly before 3 o'clock at
a point about forty miles from Fast
net
A steamer was seen outside Crook
haven. which lies just north of Gal
ley Cove, at about . o'clock last
night. As she approached in the d.
-yection of the lighthouse two loud
reports OF a gun were heard. A boat
in Crookhaven harbor went In the d.
rectioa OF the steamer. which put
about and was lost to sight.
Shots Fired At Craft.
Several residents OF Crookhaven
turned out and went along the shore
keeping a sharp lookout. They sight
ed a submarine OF Galley Cove, near
the mouth Of Little Greek.
One of the men on shore fired two
shots with a ride at the men in the
coming tower Of the submarine. The
submersible dived Immediately, but
soon rose again farther out. Three
more shots were fired at her and
she again disappeared.

The reports taat Judge ]. s.
Glenn's friends are receiving relative
to his race for the Democratic nom
ination for Circuit Judge are very
flattering. He first visited Hancock
County, last week ne completed the
trip through Mclean County. and Is
now campaigning in Daviess. These
reports indicate majority for him
In these three Counties. In Ohio
County II is certain his majority will
exceed l,0ee.
These reports are peculiarly graft
flying to Judge Glenn's host of friends
who know of his integrity as man
and high order of the qualifications
which he possesses and which are so
essential to fill a judicial position
acceptably.

|BECKER'S DOOM
IS now SEALED
Must Pay Death Penalty
For Murder.
Former Lieutenant's Only Hope
Hangs On Governor
Whitman.

Albany N. Y. May 25.-The second
conviction Of former Police Lieuten-
ant Charles Becker for instigating
the murder of Herman ROsenthal, the
New York gambler, was upheld by
the Court of Appeals. Becker now
must die unless he can obtain exec
utive clemency from Gov. Whitman
who, is District Attorney of New
York, prosecuted him, or can obtain
reversal by the United States Su-
preme Court.
The Chief Judge, willard Bartlett,
wrote the prevailing opinion, and
Judges Hiscock, Chase. Collin. Cud-
deback and Cardozo concurred.
Judge Hogan dissented. Judge Sam
uel Seabury, who is a Supreme Court
Justice, and presided at Becker's
second trial. did not sit on the CASE
in the higher court.
The opinion held that the testi-
mony of Bridge" Weber and Bald
Jack Rose, regarding the so-called
Harlem conference" at which the
murder of Rosenthal was said to
have been planned, was true and that
it was corroborated on the SECOND
trial by James Marshall, a negro.
The testimony of Deputy Police
Commissioner George A. Dopgherty
and Charles B. Pitt. commonly
known as "Becker's press agent, al
so was held to be true.
Judge Bartlett held that although
the first judgement Of death against
the defendant was reversed because
he did not have a fair trial, the sec
ond judgement sis not assailabIe on
that ground"
Extensive as Is the power of re-
view vested in this court on a judg-
ment of death, the law does not IN
tend to substitute the conclusions Of
fact which may be drawn by seven
Judges for the conclusions of fact
which have been drawn from the EVIL
dence by twelve jurors. unless we are
clear that the view of the facts taken
by the jury is wrong. 1t is our duty
to affirm II the trial was fair and
without legal error and the verdict
was not against the weight Of EVIL
dence. We are to see to 1t that the
trial was fair and that there was sui
ficient evidence with recognized ruies
of law to support the verdict; this
done. the responsibility for the result
rests with the jurors. Guiding our ae-
ton by these established principles
of criminal procedure in capital cases
we do not feel justified in interfering
with the verdict"

SO many other things are taking
place in the world that the news OF
a revolution in Portugal is only oiv
tarcsaue: II seems eddy income
ouential. Port0gal's area is about
equal to that of Indiana. II contains
only a few more people than live in

male population would hardly fill
the fighting trenches across the Elan
ders. The outside world is as little
concerned about a civil war among
the Portuguese as the Portuguese are
concerned with the great present
affair of Europe.
And yet 500 years ago (the span
OF a few generations) Portugal was
the greatest maritime power, pre-
ceding Great Britain in that emf
nence. The Portuguese first explor-
ed the two coasts of Africa. The
Cape of Good Hope was doubled by

Real Life Story Of the Red Man Has
Not Been Properly Set Forth
by White Writers.

II has been pointed out more than
once that If one could but get at the
facts" of the history of the Indian
tribes 1t would be of interest to COM
pare these with what is related as the
fortune of most civilized nations. 1t
Is only in tradition that the history of
the Indian lives, and only one ver-
sion of the story is ever heard. Some
times this is SO true to nature that no
room for doubt can be found. Such is
the following chapter from the annals
OF the Beavers, Canadian tribe:
One day a young chief shot his ar.
row through dog belonging to an.
other brave. The brave revenged the
death of his dog, and instantly a hun
dred bows were drawn. Before night
had fallen some eighty lay dead
around the camp, the pine woods rang
with the lamentations Of the women
the tribe had lost its bravest men.
There was temporary truce. The
friends of the chief whose arrow had
killed the dog yet numbered some
sixty people, and it was agreed that
they should separate from the tribe and
seek their fortune in the vast wilder
ness lying to the south.
In the night they began their march
Sullenly their brethren saw them de
part, never to return. They went
their way to the shores of the Lesser
Slave lake, toward the great plains
which were said tosbe far southwark,
by the banks of the swift-rolling Sas
katchewan.
The tribe of the Beavers never saw
this exiled band again, but hundred
years later Beaver Indian. who fol
lowed the fortunes OF white fur
hunter, found himself in one of the
forts Of the Saskatchewan. Strange
Indians were camped about the pal
isades; they were members of the
great Blackfoot tribe. whose hunting
grounds lay south Of the Saskatche
wan. Among them we're few braves
who, when they conversed, spoke 6
language different from that of the
others. and in this language the
Beaver Indian recognized his owl
tongue.
