GERS blunder as. pulling off another
bonehead stunt
Upon this point the court said:
1T is in evidence that the term
fly cop does not mean an officious
policeman, as might be inferred from
the ordinary meaning of the slang
adjective fly We are informed
that a fly cop sometimes called a
shadow bull or a tee means Moth
ing more or less than a 'plain-clothes
man.. a sleuth detective.
1t appears that to spear a per-
son. in the figurative or metaphorical
sense in which the expression was
used in the article complained of

as by throwing a harpoon or gaff
into him: and we understand that

nothing more or less than TO COM
nit a blunder
The newspaper reporter. in this
instance credited the plaintiff with
a keener sense Of humor than he
possessed. but we are not convinced
that there was malice in the publ
cation. Stories of detectives es-
capades are read by men who en-
JOY a little nonsense now and then
and it would take much of the fla

of such proceedings if we should re-
quire that they be written up IN a
dignified manner of the opinion and
judgments of this court.
For example, although we might
deem it more appropriate TO say, in
commenting upon what we consid-

1T islnot a pleasant task 70 criti-

r. VI. LaFaollette in LaFollette's Mag
azine But Mr.. LaFoHette did criti-
else his party's action. He wro.e
frankly ;his opinion of the platform
adopted at Chicago. He said he
was compelled to do so BY his con-
victions.
The platform adopted by the re-
publican convention at Chicago"
said the senator, cannot fail to be
a disappointment to the great ma
jority OF the party" He continued:
The reactionary element OF the
party were in control OF the conven-
ton. Supplied with unlimited funds
the national committee can perpet-
uate its control when it represents
but a small minority of the voters.
More than four million progress
sive republican voters left the party

no confidence in the political integ-
rity of Roosevelt refused 10 aban-
don the sparty and follow him at that
time. Together with those who Join
ed the third party, they constitute an
overwhelming majority Of the total
membership of the republican party.
The great mass of these voters are
men OF deep convictions. They are

The senator said that it was upon
the subject Of railway regulation
that the trainers OF the platform
gave the scountry its greatest sur

Wounds of the Heart.

In wounds of the heart itself the es-
cape of blood is never in large quanti-
ty, and the lethal consequences are
due to the fact that the escape of blood
from within it's cavity of cavities into
the surrounding sac of the pericardium
mechanically interrupts the alternate
contraction and expansion by which
it's pumping action is maintained. Ac-
cordingly the results of the wound of
the heart are usually identical With
those Of gradual suffocation. = Ex-
