There must be few laughs left in
the aged frame of Hank O'Day, who
landed the Reds in fourth place and
lost his Job. and the Cubs in third and
lost another. Hank proved that he
could go back to the mask and mitt and
make his living: but the Cubs and
Rhinelanders are far from the flesh
pots.
Eddie Plank's announcement that he
is going to retire Is heard again. Fans
hope he won't. They are curious to see
how long he can keep on pitching win
ming ball. He's only forty-two years
of age and it seems folly for him to
talk of quithng the game when he is
just reaching his best.

an investigation and denunciation Of

Wiley Opposes WilSOn-Dr. Harvey
W. Wiley, the man who has done more

failed to enforce the Pure Food and
Drugs Act. DR.. Wiley says, 81 favor
the election of Mr.. Hughes, not be-
cause of Mr.. Wilson's Mexican policy,
or his foreign policy and for any of
the usual reasons, but because he has
shown absolute indifference to the wei
fare of our own people by his failure
to enforce the Pure Food Law. Ben
zoate of soda is still regnant, the
fumes of burning sulphur march on
undisturbed and Coca Colya, declared
by the Supreme Court to be misbrand-
ed and amenable to the Pure Food
law, has not been molested Even the
repeal of the Mixed Flour law-that
splendid safeguard to the purity of our
daily bread-has been tacitly approved
by the Treasury Department. while
not even a pretense of enforcing the
law against the bleaching of -four has
been made. / should expect Mr.
Hughes, as President, TO maintain the
same high attitude toward the Pure
Food and rug Law that he has as
Judge on the bench, and to appoint
Secretary of Agriculture who would
be conscientious and earnest in his
enforcement of the Pure Food law for
the benefit Of the mental, moral and
physical welfare of our people. For
that reason, | cordially support Mr.

explained:

more consideration for me, because |

The magistrate was equal to his
duty and fined the man $50. instead of
500. on the ground that the native
born offender should have known
enough to obey the law. The case is
fairly typical one How many ma

ASSASSINATION OF srUERekH
Shooting OF Austrian Premier Purely
Political.

Vienna, oct. 23.-The assassination
of the Austrian premier, Count Karl
Stuergkh. was purely political and was
induced by his refusal to convene Par
lament according to the admission of
Dr. Friedrich Adler, his assailant,
soon after his arrest. DR. Adler is an
eccentric and suDerradical socialist,
sometimes known as the 'Liebknecht
OF Austria" He is editor of Der
Kamp.
Dr. Adler's arrest was not accom-
plished without the wounding of two
men who leaped at him after he had
fired on County Stuergkh. He dis
charged the two remaining chambers
OF his revolver at these men before
Austrian and German officers, with
drawn sabers, overpoweTed him. The
wounded men, who were injured
slightly. are Baron Aehrentahal, broth
er of the late foreign minister. and
the head waiter Of the Hotel Meis-
sund Schadn, in which the shooting
occurred.
Count Stuergkh arrived at the ho-
tel at 1.30 o'clock. With him at lunch.
con were Baron AehIenthal. Count
Toggenburg, governor of the Tyrol
Herr Jacobson. prominent Vienna
musician and an actor from the Court
theater At o'clock a man unknown
to the premier arrived and took
seat three tables away. He ate lunch
con and paid for the meal. but linger-
ed at the table. Just after o'clock
he arose advanced rapidly toward the
premier and fired three shots. The
first missed. The next two struck the
premier in the head. Without word
Count Stuergkh fell back lifeless in
his chair.
The assassin who is 80 is son
of DR.. Victor Adler Reichsrat depu-
ty and a socialist of mild type l'y
a strange coincidence the father was
speaking before the Reichsrat in 1911
when Count Stuergkh was shot at
six times by the Dalmatian socialist
Vakusch. On that occasion the count
was unnjured
