grimly, unmindful apparently that he

A MORAL DEGENERATE,

Harry Thaw has finally secured his
liberty after nine years of almost con-
slant litigation. He can probably tes-
tity that he knows "the way Of the
transgressor is hard" In a fit of ieal-
ousy or as the result of an insane de-
fusion, he killed Stanford White and
afterwards was, prosecuted and finally
acquitted on the ground of insanity.
1t was expected by Mr.. Thaw and his
friends that his acquittal would re-
suit in his almost immediate dis
charge from custody. but the author-
ties insisted that if he was insane
when he did the deed, he should be
held to be insane after the deed was
done and have contested his discharge
on every occasion when he has made
an effort to be released.
The trouble with Harry Thaw was
that he was too much OF the type OF
the man whom he murdered and per-
haps as much of moral degenerai
as his victim. We are of the opinion
that he should not have been ex
cused for killing Mr.. White on the
ground of insanity because we do not
believe that he was mentally ire
sponsible, unless on account of intoXi
cation and that would not amount to a
legal excuse. We sincerely hope that
we have heard the last of Harry Thaw
and that he may settle down to make
amends as far as he can for his pasti
conduct.

A sensational revelation was made
in connection with the management Of
the public schools Of Chicago a few
days ago. A proceeding was started
to investigate the method OF making
estimates for the pay roll OF teachers.
Mrs. Young, the head OF the schools,
testified that in the estimate prepared
by one of the departments there were
carried the names OF teachers then de-
ceased and other parties who were not
engaged in teaching were placed on
the pay roll 1t is said that about
twenty-four thousand dollars of the
peoples money would have. been di-
verified according to this estimate.
Mrs. Young mentions the names of
some of the members of the school
board who were apparently enlisted
in an attempt to pad the pay roll. She
does not make this, claim, but the in
timation is strongly made that at least
one member Of the board was less
concerned about the public welfare
than the interests of certain individ
uals. She claims that she. protested
against the procedure and there is nc
doubt but what she is a woman whose
honesty could not be called in ques
ton. 1t will not be surprising if the
grand jury of Cook county may have
something to investigate before this
matter is concluded.

SEN. cuMMlNs' TROUBLES.

Senator Cummins is having oceans
of trouble on account of some legisla.
ton which he secured some time ago
in congress. He thought at the time
the legislation was enacted that 1t
would boost him in favor with the
people and against the railroads, but
before tue bill became a law, either
by reason of amendment or on &C.
count of it's original composition, it
turned out that its purpose was just
the reverse of what the senator intend
ed. His friends launded him through
out the country after the bill became
a law and associated his name with
the measure SO far that it is found
now very difficult to get rid of the eff
fects of it. The senator is having all
the advertising he wishes and more,
and his newspapers are having the
time of their lives explaining how It
was not the senator's fault that the
measure was passed as it was. 1t is
too bad that when the senator was
thinking he was making ten stroke,
it should turn out to be boomerang
and to threaten his popularity in case
he should enter the list of candidates
for the nomination of president.

The Nonpareil of yesterday com
ments etlitorally on the condition OF
the Lincoln highway through Carroll
and Crawford counties. and Miscloses
some of the experiences that tourists
are having in passing from Carroll to
Council Bluffs. 1t is said that just
west of Dow City there is short
stretch of new grade in such condi-
ton that travel is practically impos-
sible. The charge is made that the
Indifference of workmen engaged in
building the grade is responsible for
the trouble. This is a severe indict-
ment to be lodged against the highway
authorities in the county and we sim
cerely hope that the party responsible
for the condition OF the highway west
of Dow City will take notice and sec
that the road is put in proper condi-
ton.
Another stretch of road complained
of is east of Denison some three miles.
This trouble seems to have come from
the earth washing down from the field
across the highway until the result is
mud hole of such a character that a
White automobile was delayed two or
three hours recently in trying to get
over this portion of tliC road.
The Denison authorities have had
their attention called to this deplor-
able condition east of town and we
are pleased to say that gravel is being
HAULED to repair the road and that
tourists are passing over The road
without any trouble whatever. When
the trouble east of town became known
the road authorities here made every
effort to see the road was repaired.

The latest dispatches indicate that
the Germans are smashing their way
toward WARSAW and that it is only a
question of few days until this an
cient capital of Poland will be wrcst-
ed from the possession OF the Rus
SLAMS. The Germans are in force COM
ing from the south and from the
north toward Poland and at the rate
of progress they are making, it can
only be short time until the city will
be completely surrounded. England
seems TO appreciate that the Russians
are giving up another one Of their
many strongholds. 1t is not only the
prestige which the Germans acquire
in taking Poland and driving the Rus
SLAMS back into their own territory,
but it insures arelea5e Of a large por-
tion of the German army TO be taken
to the west front in France to be used
against the allies there. If a consid-
cradle portion of the German army
can be released in Poland and should
return to the western front il will be
difficult to predict just what the result
will be in the immediate future. If
the allies are only able to hold the
German force now opposed to them in
France, the probabilities are that with
this force greatly augmented that the
allies will be driven back and that
Paris will probably fall into the hands
Of the Germans.

New York Sept. 3, Wall~St., 10:30 a. m.-Further irregularity was noted in today's early trading, gains in some specialties and investment issues being offset by declines in the same groups. This confusion wasrattributed to developments in London, where exchange on New York was reported to have made further recovery of ten cents. On the other hand, all inn portant American stocks were lower in London by one to over two points. At the outset here the only notable active issue was United States Steel, which on it's first sale of 2,500 shares showed a loss of 5-8 at "A 43-S.
