SUDDEN DEATH OF BABY

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. J. M
Burns was saddened last Tuesday
when death. without warning, claimed
their little daughter, Alice, aged two
years, and six months The little girl
was taken i'll in the morning, and be
ing feverish, the mother put her to
bed and she seemed quietly to go to
sleep. Some time after the noon
hour the mother approached the bed
side of the child to see how she was
and was shocked to find that the lit
tie daughter was dead As the child
did not seem to be suffering seri-
ously when put to bed. the end was
totally unexpected. The cause OF
leath is supposed to have been mea-
sles. and is the first fatal case in Yer
'ngton since the epidemic began. The
;amily are but recent arrivals in Yer
ngton. and they have the sympathy
IF the entire community in their be

When Governor Steunenberg oil
Idaho called upon federal aid to con-
troll the Occur d Elaine strike nearly
twenty years ago, dire threats were
made that his life would pay the pen
alty. Steunenberg retired from the
office of Governor. and several years
afterwards. while entering his YARD,
he was assassinated by the explosion
of a bomb. The threats were Jul.
filled. When Governor Spry stood
firm and enforced the law year ago
in the Hillstrom case, similar threats
were made that he would pay the con
SEQUENCES of his disregard OF the de-
mands of the l. w. w. The latter
threatened to kill not only Governor
Spry. but his entire family. The

the horror of violence prevails every
where. 1t does not require violence
on the part of a community to i'm
press the malefactor with the fear o
the law. The suppression OF mis-
placed and maudlin sentiment for thu
law breaker goes far towards the sup
preston of crime. The man wh'
Furnishes crime and not the crimina
deserves the sympathy OF the commu
nifty. Without sympathy no othce

The automobile and its immediate
predecessor, the bicycle, have done
more for good roads in this country
than any other convenience OF loco
motion ever invented. Long before
the advent of the bicycle the self-pro'
PEELED vehicle was the dream OF the
PEELED vehicle was tn dream of the
inventor. The first practical selt-pro-
pelling wagon road machine was the
thresher engine. Several years after
steam took the place of horse power
to run the threahing machine, an
engine was made that would propel
itself and haul the threshing machine
The other accessories were hauled
by teams After few years the trac"
ton engine was so complete that no
teams were employed to transport
the outfit from farm to farm. The
heavy outfit would frequently break
through the makeshift bridges and
culverts, and following the advent OF
the bicycle about twenty-five years
ago, the thdeshing machine trac-
tor engine became the primary
teacher" of the value of good roads
When the automobile was in its eN-
detrimental stage, those who had
the foresight to believe it would ac-
complish more than take one some
place, stop, and let one walk home,
also saw the benefit it would accom-
plish by the good roads that would
follow. The question of the value OF
roads has been settled for all time IN
this country Every community Is
now awake to their necessity. Towns
counties and states are now consld
cred not alone for their products, but
for their good or bad roads as well
In MANY parts of the country the hrst
inducement to build roads was the
convenience that the farmer could not
dispense with and exist the steam
thresher. In another generation
the automobile and the good road
will be so indispensable that the
thresher, in comparison, will seem an
almost superhuous luxury.

If any mere men" who, two years

The Family Look,

No eloQuence of tongue, nothing that
stands written in any book, may sway
the heart as does that elusive quality
the race mark in face. And this is
true less of the obvious physical aspect
than of its thousand secret connota-
lions. All the world knows the Haps-
burg lip, the jaw line of the Bona
parties, the subtler marks of clanship
keep their eloquence for their own.
Consciously or not, each family group
stands before these symbols as the
small company OF the learned might
before some inscription on a desert
ruin Mere strokes and scratches to
you and me- To the few who under
stand here is the key that unlocks the
past.
So the family look. In the arch of
an eye orbit the curve of chin, we
read the signature of race. Chance
imprint maybe maybe seal Of some
struggle so profound as to have set
our lips at this particular angle, or
through dimming attenuations to per-
petuate gesture born a thousand
years ago in Joy or in some stark
agony OF body or of soul
The family look. The first we re-
member; the last we shall forget

No lnvulnerable Forts.

1t will continue to be physically pos
slble no doubt TO build fort so strong
that no shell could penetrate 1t, wheth.
er fired directly at high angles or to
fall upon 1t vertically from the clouds
1t would require merely to calculate
the force of explosives and the resist
ance of steel and concrete and make
the steel and concrete thick enough.
But It may have ceased to be worth
while. A fort would still be vulnera
BILE from below ground. Its foundation
could not be laid so deep that an en-.
envy might not drive tunnel under 1t,
and then it would be necessary only to
put enough high explosive there to
blow the fort away. So perhaps in the
future military strategy will adjust It
self to the idea that Notifications cal'
not be permanent, wherefore they fnad
better be even more impermSnent,
serving only as temporary bulwarks
against an oncOming cnemy.-New York
