TREASON UNDER ANOTHER NAME


From the New York World.
or the 11e men sentenced by
Judge Anderson yesterday at In
dianapolis for election frauds at
Terre Haute, so pleading guilty and the
others convicted by trial, the mayor of
the city was condemned to Imprisonment
for six years, the circuit judge-elect and
the sheriff of Vigo county to five years,
the city judge the president of the board
of public works and the secretary of the
democratic county committee to three
years, Various other officeholders and pol
iticians to two years and the remainder
to penalties of lesser degree.
Severe as these punishments may seem
to partisans accustomed to political trick
cry, too often winked at by complacent
courts, when the nature of the offense
is considered it must be agreed that they
are mild. Self-government is properly re-
garded as our most valued political right.
Those who sought to deprive us of it by
certain forms of conspiracy would G ac-
cused of treason and sent to the gallows.
In time of war they would not even have
civil trial.
The Terre Haute offenders sold their
country, their state, their county, their
city their party, for money. Some of them
were already in office, the oath of which
they violated Others were cheap mer-
cenaries, tempted by pittance to be-
tray their citizenship and themselves.
What they are to suffer is nothing in COM
parson with what Americans generally
would suffer if such methods were to pre-
vail.
This was no case for sentimentality or
for mercy, and Judge Anderson's stern
ness in dealing with it is in keeping with
his reputation as a learned and fearless
magistrate.

The Iron Market

1.-The continued upward trend of all
forces is a source of satisfaction to the
iron trade" say Rogers, Brown G. Co..
ir their Cincinnati report. Locally dur
ing the week sales were for last-half de-
livery, the favorites being slvery and
special IRONS the regular foundry grades
not being neglected. There is good in
qury pending and each day produces in
dications of renewed serious interest on
the part of consumers. This is the di-
rect Indication locally of the multitude
of favorable influences working through
out the country. No week for months
has been as productive of. pleasureable
events in the line of improvement as the
week past On every hand in commerce,
finance and agriculture proof Of better
things appears. Most marked has been
the regeneration of the stock market and
the advance in metal securities. Wall
street has at last apparently positively
shaken off it's attitude of distrust and
criticism and turned its face to the light.
Every sign of improvement in business
should be satisfaction and eagerly de-
sired, but the betterment of most value
is that which will continue, and any
movement which is artificial and for the
moment, however sizeable, is to be re.

He Died a Hero

In an obscure Chicago hotel, alone
and almost penniless, hero died
few days ago.
He had never been on a military fir
ing line, he had never won laurels in
thrilling rescue work and he had never
risked his life in spectacular hunting
chase. He was just plain business
man-yet, he was a real hero, never
theless.
His name was Wiley o. CoX--a ma
tive of Mississippi. Only few years
ago he was president of bank in
Kansas City. He was also director in
a railroad company and owned the
Kansas City Times, then most in
fluential morning newspaper.
When Wiley O. Cox died he was
employed in a clerical capacity at
salary of $500 a year, and all the
money he left was a pay check for
one weeks service-the last week he
worked.
Now comes the skeptic asking what
there is heroic about a bank president
descending to mere clerical position
and dying in want and obscurity.
Here's where the heroism comes in;
Wiley o. Cox gave up riches that
he might preserve his honor, and
made the sacrifice at an age when
the odds were strongly against his
ever being able to retrieve his lost
fortune.
1t came about this way:
Through the failure of another Mis-
souri, bank the Cox bank in Kansas
City became involved for more than
it could meet. At the same time,
there was an upheaval in railroad
stocks and the road in which Mr.. Cox
was interested fell into the hands
of unfriendly interests. The Cox news
paper had for sometime been a costly
enterprise. So, the combination over
whelmed Mr.. Cox and he was forced
into distressing financial position.
He could, however, have saved him
self in money way, except for the
fact that he preferred to protect the
depositors in his bank. So, he sold his
palatial home, converted everything
else he had into cash and paid out as
far as he could But, he still lacked
some of paying his entire debt. Then
he hunted job, got it and went to
work, promising to pay the balance
Of his obligation as rapidly as pos
sible.
A little later, through the sudden
rise in value of some hitherto worth,
less land, Mr.. Cox came into unex-
pected possession of $4,000, which
with what he had already paid, was
enough to set him entirely free from
debt.
Thus redeemed, he worked on ant
on for a mere living until the enc
came-but he died with the conscious
ness that he had been a square man
and that to him no doubt, was more
comfort in his dying hour than all tn,
riches of Wall street.
Now you know why Wiley o. Co,
is catalogued as a business hero. TIT
man who does what he did is just al
much a hero as the soldier who faces
death on the battlefield.

IN FAIRYLAND

Alice S. Allen in the Youths Companion
If there are little fairies
That no one ever Sees
Who walk about, and talk about
Whatever things they please,
Each sturdy stalk of goldenrod,
In breeze and sunshine growing
Far o err their heads, must see to them
A golden elm tree blowing.
If there are little fairies
Who sometimes sit them down
To stay awhile and play awhile
Among the leaflets brown;
If close at hand some toadstool gray
Should happen to be showing,
Tt ey'd surely think that up for them
Big circus tents we're going!
