JULES BOIS' TRAGIC ROMANCE

When Jules Bots, the distin-
guished man of letters of France, was
in America last spri2g those who were
familiar with his life recalled the
tragic romance of his early years that
accounts for his deep interest in the
advancement of woman.
In his youth M. Bots fell in love
with woman who, loving him in re-
turn, was bound by marriage I'M
fortunate and at the same time, I'M
der the French law, indissoluble. The
woman died in reality of broken
heart and NJ. Bots, moved at once by
her sad fate and his own sorrow.
vowed his life to the cause of the
emancipation of woman. 1t is from
this standpoint that he views the war
of the nations, concerning which he
has the idea that the outcome will
be for the woman what the revolution
was for France. 1t is, he says, the
"'S9 maternelle"-the date of the
rights of mothers.

old piling must be removed. This is
done by steamer in the following

to the prov of the steamer, which has
been lowered as much as possible.
After this Is done the stern of the

A large number of women composed

FIGHTING ARCHIE" HUNTER

Sir Archibald Hunter, whom
Lord Kitchener placed In command OF
the third British army, has built up,
during his forty years of service,
reputation for valor which the most
seasoned campaigner might envy;
moreover, he is loved and trusted by
his soldiers, who know him as Fight

His brilliant career began with
the Nile expedition, and later in the
Sudan campaign he was severely
wounded at Guiss, and was reward
for his services with the ID. s. 0.
In Egypt Sir Archibald Hunter was
Lord Kitchener's right-hand man, and
he commanded a division which was

Sweden issued what was popularity
called distress coins" Wars had de-
pleted the national treasury, and $780,
900 copper coins were issued In place
of so many silver dollars. worth about
fifty-four cents. The business men did
not accept the copper coins at their
face value, and the government had no
end of trouble in getting out of the diff
ficulty 1t was Baron George Henrik
won Gortz who was responsible for
this way of building up the credit of
the country. The king, Karl XII, seems
to have realized the shakiness of the
Gortz plan. but he finally Endorsed 1t
in half-hearted way. But neither the
picture of the king nor the arms of
Sweden appeared on the coins. At
this day, 200 years later, Sweden has
no war Of her own. But even now the
war amongst her neighbors has af-

that the present bills are entirely DIFF

In all places where he has gone, he has

as to virtually vouch for every sander that
was published against us, during the last
year Of his administration.
Just as he, 0ur g0rer11Or, was silent when
Burns, Connolly, Hearst, Ochs, Pulitzer and

He could not defend the State which had

by a lying propaganda, we're hailing him as
hero, the Man of Georgia who had re-

To accept the praise and act the part he
was obliged to represent the State as having
been entirely in the wrong, and he himself
entirely in the right.
Before the outside world he posed, gran
diosely and garrulously, as the champion OF
Law and Order, who had riszed his precious
life to prevent the State from committing
what John Cohen was the first to say would
be judicial murder.
He even went so far as to say, that the

erent the Frank case erer came before him as
Governor of the State, Rosser was to have
absolutely nothing to do with the prceelta-
ton of the case before the Governor"
Heavens above These crooks never seem
to know when they are furnishing evidence
of their own villalny
Here, we are told, was an agreement about
the Frank case IN Jmse, 1913, when Fya,tA
had not been tried, much less convicted.
Franks trial did not begin until July,
and yet We are asked to believe that Slaton
and Rosser foresaw that he would be con-
vlcted, and would have to apply to olaton
for clemency!
They have already begged the people to
believe that the Law of Partnership dill not
apply to Rcsser and Slaton.
They have demanded that we accept their
assurance that, while there acas a partner
ship, there ac0s1a't.
They declare vehemently that, while they
were paying for advertisements which de-
scrlbed themselves as partners, they were not
partners.
They were paying for the advertisements,
because that was an easy way to dispose Of
superfluous cash; ana they were financing
these lies, just for the fun of it, and to keep
their hands in
Was the Frank case the only felony case
Rosser had, when he and Slaton became part
ners?
Didn't Rosser have quite large criminal
practice, and did he not have, in June 1913,
quite a number of clients who might be con-
victed, and who might need Governor Sla-
tons clemency?
Was anything agreed on about these casesy
Why was Franks case especially men
toned, when Franks trial was not to begin
until some weeks later?
These two prophets, Slaton and Rosser,
ask you to believe that they foresaw the APP
pearance of the case before Governor Sla-
ton, and that they made Partner Rosser give
his word not to plead the case before Part
ner Slaton.
They foresaw that Rosser would lose be-
fore the jury, lose before the Supreme Court,
lose before every other tribunal, save the
Governor; and they agreed that Rosser
should have nothing whatever to do with
the presentation before the Governor

Shall we not enroll Dr. G. B. Wilmer and

We shall.
But the brave of the braves was John NJ

He was proclaimed throughout the North
and the West by that proud title, and he
wore it with modesty Of he-goat, and
the grace of kangaroo.
And this Ney of France, this Richard

cowardly assassins who lynched his client;
and that he will see to it that any man who
condones what the lynchers did, shall be

He is too difident; he should run for Pres
