No Motive Known.
Officers we're puzzled early today
as to the motive of the crime and
the identity of the slayer. Although

on the case, 1t was said that nothing
could be ascertained until Mrs.
Morau regained consciousness and
related her story of the attack on
the aged couple and herself.
AS far as known here no person
had any grievances against the Good

He Who Puts His Faith
In Political Platforms Is
Always Sure of a Jolt,

Platforms may be necessary adJuncts
of political parties and platforms can be
built of nothing but planks. but, in the
latter, we have no more faith than the
proverbial grain of mustard seed, which
we are told, is required for personal sal
walton. There are planks and planks and
each is capable of an Interpretation as
broad as the land and as deep as the
sea, which will meet any requirement
that may arise.
The Republicans have inserted suf-
1rage plank which is white and beautiful,
but there is trap door under 1.-THE
right of states to settle this matter-and
Just as the women climb fairly upon it,
the trap is sprung and down they go into
the dungeon, where they have been right
along, with the familiar boyle states
rights, as jailor. This was very clever
Of the Republicans, for it answers two
purposes-it pleases the suffragists and
pIacates the south.
And who is to decide just what
~Americanism" is?
Our strenuous friend, COL Roosevelt,
has delegated to himself that task, all
I unsolicited. 1t seems to consist largely
ii being ready to fight at the least provo,
cation; to have large families whether
We can care for them or noD, and to all
i0in in the chorus of 1.-THE Star Spangled
Banner" But there are others who be-
ljeve differently and they happen to have
had forbears in the revolutionary war
and to have served their country in vari-
Gus and peaceful capacities. These same
are slightly peeved at being classed with
towards, and persons lacking spinal YER
tebrae. They even are American enough
10 think that they have rights to their
own opinions, all of which is very bad
form.
What the colonel would have US do is
to subscribe to an American autocracy
whose reins he would hold in his good
right hand A flick of the whip on the
one hand, or a slap of the reins on the
other and away we would go at merry
\ gait, saving the nation.
This same Americanism is to keeI
close tab on when "our honor and inhu
ence have been assailed" and here, again
II the colonel were the arbiter we woulC
soon find ourselves in hot water.

Your Place In the Sun.

home without windows was built Tor the
blind in certain English community sclen-
tiic heating and ventilation were PROVIDED out
the architects and trustees reasoned that hght
was not necessary in a house for sightless people
So they erected their windowless institution
and installed its occupants. And then they dls-
covered that human beings. like plants, dwindle
and die when deprived of the light OF the sun
And they had 10 remodel their buildings, and
let in the suns rays, in order 10 keep thelr
blind people alive.
Since the invention Of the electric light, we
have all treated sunlight with amazing indiIer-
ence. In summer, especially, We spend much
time, thought energy and money protecting our
selves from the sun.
And in doing. we are often acting not much
more wisely than the committee who ouilded a
house without light for the blind In summer,
for instance. we try 70 escape the sun as the
worst OF all nuisances, when We actually need
its services in the cause OF our own good health.
So take your work and your play out Of doors
when possible Don't risk sunstroke, but don't
be afraid Of sweat and tan
