lions connected with the merchant ma

that the Eastland disaster at Chicago
was due to laNity on the part OF the
Steamboat Inspection Service. In his
statement Col. Hannah says:
1T requires some great calamity
like the Eastland to drive home the
need of stringent laws to curb the
greed of men and to properly safe
guard human life.
The Chicago tragedy is directly at
tributable to the looseness of our in

tions provided by the Steamboat In

Petrograd, July 25.-Never before have
the superb tenacity and morale of the

advantage than during the last few days

Signs are not wanting that the plan Of

the stone wall of the Russian defensive,
that the German munitions are not so
plentiful, and that the Germans are fore
ing the pace on the less important fronts

Brooklyn today. He had been i'll
for three weeks from a complied

Members of his family were
with him when he died. For a

A strenuous month Of work, 1t
is believed, caused the breakdown
which resulted in his death.
John Bunny was 81 years old.
He had been before the footlights
twenty-nine years before he en-
tered the moving picture filed for
years ago. He had leading roles
with many old-time stars, among
them Annie Russell. He had at
tanned country wide popularity
as an actor before he achieved
his greatest success Oh the screen.
Mr.. Bunny was born in New
York City Of English parents, was
educated in the Brooklyn public
schools and was clerk in a gen
eral store until he went on the
stage at the age of nineteen. In
the moving picture world he was
regarded for time as LEADING

TO OPPOSE THE
GOVERNOR.
Advertisement.I

When the Governor of this
state favors proposition, it is
safe to put it down that certain
individuals and newspapers will
oppose it, and vice versa. This
was again demonstrated on the
question Of constitutional con-
vention. Before Governor Hall
made the definite announcement
that constitutional convention
would be one of the subjects SUD
mitted at the approaching special
session of the Legislature, there
was a loud demand for one III
certain quarters, but now that
His ExceIlencv has taken the pre-
liminary steps looking to the
holding Of constitutional con
vention, the same crowd is now
bowling against a constitutional
convention at this time. They
have suddenly changed their
minds.
This gives Pretty fair idea
Of what IA Governor or any man
in public life has to contend with
when his enemies start out to
waste energy. All they want 10
do is throw obstacles in the way
and try their level best to dis
credit men who are doing what
they believe is best for the public
good st. Bernard Voice.
