He's the dad and protector of
Tacoma's boys and girls who
would otherwise be neglected

of the boys and girls who have
run a little too wild. or have got
ten into trouble.

They come to him with their
troubles and he gives them faith

In other words. he is the jul

duties
Educated Himself
More than 400 Of these chill
dren of Tacoma have come under
his protection during the last
year. They all say he makes a
pretty good dad. Perhaps it's
because he, too, has plenty of
young blood in his veins.
Judge Card ought to be able
to hand out some fairly solid ad-
vice to ambitious youngsters,
too. He started making his own
way in the world when he was
little more than a shaver him
self.
In 1889, when he was only IL
years old, he was selling papers
on Tacoma streets and packing
books In law office. and be-
tween office hours he was work.
ing to get educated.
Goes to College
Card might nab anybody for
contempt of court who said that
he was young marvel, but any
way he went through the Ia
coma high school four year
course in two years.
Then he went to Stanford uni
versity for four years. He was
plugging his way through. He
stayed out of school a year to
work In single mill and get
financial backing for himself.
But he wasn't satisfied to end
at Stanford. He went to Cornell
university, where he took his law
degree after another three years.
Then he returned to Tacoma.

chosen justice of the peace for
Tacoma, position he held for
two terms.
Youngest in State
So, in 1910, when he became
a candidate for the superior
court, the biggest complaint of
his opponents was that he was a
young man, very young man,
to be Judge.
These opponents had a sur
prise coming.
So many Tacoma citizens de-
cided they liked the idea of hav-
ing young blood injected into
the Pierce county courts, that
they gave him more votes I'm the
primary than any other county
candidate
Judge Card was elected. He
was the youngest Judge in the
state. And for all that, he Shout
dered one of the toughest jobs
of the lot-that of judge of the
criminal court.
Keeps Young Still
Much of the work was new to
him. The civil, rather than the
criminal department, was more
to his liking. But he made the
most of it. He made some mis-
takes-he never claimed to be
infallible-but he sought to prof
1t by them.
He was reelected In 1912 and

The insurance companies have $1,500,000,0OO invested in rail- way securities, representing 30,O00,00O policy holders; the savings banks or the country have $SO0,000,00 invest ed in railway securities, and there are about 11,000,000 depositors in these banks. So, there are 41,000,0O0 peo- pie who are vitally interested, either as holders of insurance policies or de- positors in savings banks, in the suc- cess of this great piece of machinery. It is well to remember this momentous fact in considering this very difficult transportation problem.

ELLIOTT ASSERTS RAILROADS RATES MUST BE BOOSTED
New Haven Head Sees This Result of Granting Eight
 Hour Day.

Washington, D. C., Aug. 26-Presi- New Haven & Hartford Railroad Co.,, chairman of the board of directors. who is here attending the conference of railroad presidents in the effort to arrive at satisfactory adjustment of the demands of the Big Four" Rail- road Brotherhoods, in statement is- sued today, said:
 Personally, as well as officially, have believed and I still believe that a question of such great importance as the eight-hour one should be set tied only after all it's aspects have been carefully considered by a tri- bunal free from prejudices and parti- sanship. The 100,000,000 of our peo. ple can have, of course, the kind of laws, working hours and railroads they desire If they want growing and efficient railroads and believe they can have them on the basis of an eight hour day they must be willing to con- tinuously pay higher rates for trans portation and in that event the devel- opment of the railroad system of our country will be checked. With a de- cline in our railroad development all other industrial as we'll as agricultural growth will be checked. To my mind the true patriotic policy for the well fare of the whole country at this time Is for every man to do all he can to advance it's growth rather than to check and to reduce it's output. We are far behind other countries in

 SLAIN IN MACON
 CAMP BY WOMAN
Wife of Laundryman Says Guardsman- Physician Did
 Her Great Wrong.

Macon, Ga, Aug. 26-Capt. Ed
 gar J. Sprattling of Company F, Fifth
 Georgia Infantry, one of the best
 known physicians of Atlanta, was
 shot and killed at the mobilization
 camp here yesterday morning by Mrs. H. c. Adams, wife of an Atlanta laun- dryman. She arrived at the camp at 11:S0 o'clock, and the shooting oc- cured a few minutes later.
 The woman gave herself up imme- diately to the military authorities. When she had regained her com posture she told who she was and said her husband and three children lived | in Atlanta. Mrs. Adams, who will soon give birth to another child, de- l clined to explain her deed and. spent ] the afternoon reading magazines in | her cell.
 Capt. Spratling was at dinner when
 the woman appeared. His brother of-
 ficers say that she approached them
 and pointing to him asked if he was
 Capt. Spratling. Info: med that he was she drew a revolver and fired twice. One of the bullets struck him
 in the face and another in the throat According to Lieut.. Samuel A. kysor | the woman shouted as she shot: "1 Gu have ruined my home!'' kysor seized tie woman, who of- fered no resistance, and immediately | became hysterical. She declared she had never before seen Spratling in | uniform, but that she had been under his care for a nervous disorder. "I decided there was but one thing
 for me to do," she said, "and I did it. When the testimony comes out I feel sure the public will be with me-" After she was surrendered to the
 civil authorities and lodged in Bibb
 county jail she sent the following tele-
 gram to her husband:
 | Daddy, I am in jail. Do what l you can. MATTE" | Captain Spratling was AZ years old
 and married. He had been a member
 of the Georgia National Guard for 15
 years. Flags were put at half-mast in
 Camp Harris and preparations were
 made to take the officers body to At
 lanta under military escort
 l Mrs. Adams said last night that
 Spratling had taken advantage of her
 while she was being attended by him
 and that she had confided to her hus-
 band the relations between her and | the physician.

many ways and we have great task beSore us in the next 10 years to keep our proper place in the world. l hope, therefore, very much that in the ln- terest of all our 00.0OO,OOO people some solution of the present situation may be found rather than it should be settled off-hand and solely in the interest of the 100000 who are now pressing their demands.
 "All thinking people agree that the United States should have good rall- ways, well equipped with sufficient ia cilities to do the total business of the great population with safety and dis patch.
 Nearly all agree that the railways should increase their capacity to fur nish transportation as fast as the pop ulation increases. if not faster.
 'Tn other words, it is to the interest of the public that the railways be ready to serve at all times and able in times of emergency to carry the peak load This is not the case to- day, and the fact that it is not is a serious menace to the present and fu- ture welfare of the United States.
 To-day there are 10O,0OO.00O people
  sheltered, kept warm, many of them travel for health, pressure ana pus1- ness. The railway systems are in many places overtaxed in doing this work
 There are at least 100000 owners of the securities of our American railways It is fair to assume that dependent upon these owners are four other persons and in that case this would mean 6.0OO,00O people.
 "There are 1,sO0,oOO men, approxi- mately, employed in the railway ser vice, and if you allow nve persons to be depending upon each, that would mean 9,OOO,O0O. There are at least 1000, 900 workers in industrial plants directly dependent upon railway oper- ation-such as coal mines, rail mills car shops and so on. They represent another 5,OOO,O00 people.
 Thus you have about 20,00O,000 people out of a total population of 1O0, 100000 who depend very largely for their daily bread and butter upon
