WHY THEY CAN'T CONVICT A
WoMAN.-They convict a woman in
Chicago and Cook county for steal
ing a few little things and sentence
her to II years, but is not a human
life worth more than anything worth
stealing? Why, then, don't they
convict a woman who deliberately
murders a man? Are the men Of
Chicago to be led by sobs ofjustice?
Any woman can murder a human
being and the evidence clearly show
that she is guilty. Why, then, do
twelve Women-struck men find her
not guilty? She then laughs, after
the verdict is read, at what she put
over on some Weak-minded Chicago
men. She knows all the time she is
guilty, but she knows that to convict
a woman in Chicago is as difficult as
it is to squeeze blood out of a turniD.
Women will continue to commit
murder as long as the Chicago men
are to be led by sobs, not by evidence
and even when she confesses to be-
ing a murderess. Something ought
to be done regarding this, but cannot
be done and man is led by what he
thinks is correct.
It is just as States Atty Hoyne
says; cit is going to be hard to con-
Wet the first woman in Cook county,
but it is going to be done. and when
it is done women thereafter viii have
little more respect for the law"

duced or consumed on the farm.
The men who pay the freight have
an equity in this dispute, which
neither the railroad trainmen nor
the railroad managers have au-
thority to represent. If it is your
intention to personally dispose Of
the matter we ask that you post
lUne further consideration until q
committee of farmers can prepare
Information and data to present
their side of the case. If you con-
clude to settle by arbitration, then
the organized farmers should
have representation on any arbi-
tratiOn committee that may be
formed to dispose Of this question;
for the men who pay should have
representation as well as the men
who receive it.
We again urge that all ques-
tions involved be settled by arbi-
tratioE, where all parties and all
interests can be heard and the
subject dealt with aside from
haste and intimidation

Charles Il. Hughes, who left Lincoln
for his second days campaigning in
Nebraska, told crowd Of farmers in
his speech here that the Democratic
Administration had ignored the agri-
cultural interests of the country in
urging the enactment of the Adamson
law. The nominee, in support Of his
contention, cited q telegram from
President II. n. Pope of the Texas
Farmers Union to President Wilson
,queSting that the farmers be per-
United to submit data in arbitration
proceedings between the railroads and
the brOtherhOods. He said:

LOSES HIS LEG
Michael Mccoy of Metamora Suffers
Amputation of Right Leg at Wau-
seOn Hospital-Result of Freezing
his Foot During Recent Cold
Weather.

Michael Mccoy, aged about seventy
Of Metamora was brought to the Wau-
seon hospital last Monday morning
and Monday afternoon the Doctors
Murbach of Archbold amputated his
right leg above the knee.
The amputation was made neces-
sary by a case of gangrene which
follow the freezing of McCoy's right
foot during the recent cold weather.
Mr.. Mccoy who lives in a house by
himself in Metamora returned from
Toledo supposedly intoxicated, he
went to his home and went imme-
diately to bed but in some way failed
to cover up his right foot which was
slightly frozen when he was found
in his house, gangrene followed and
progressed so rapidly that his life
was endangered and amputation of
the limb was found necessary in or
der to save his life.
Superintendent Egnew went over
to Metamora Monday and brought Mr.
Mccoy accompanied by Mayor Morse
and Mr.. Viers of Metamora to Wau-
seon with him. Mr.. Mccoy is with
out any living relatives, in former
years he was known as one of the
most efficient stone masons in the
community; he was an ex-soldier of
the civil war and for many years he
has lived alone in Metamora,

PRACTICAL INSTITUTE
Clinton Township Farmers Educational Institute Held
in Court Room at Wauseon Last Week, Proved
Intensely Interesting and Practical

State Board of Health and an instruc-
tor in the Medical College Of Ohio
State University gave an address
Friday evening, the precepts OF which
if applied in the schools on the farms
and in the homes of this county would
mean the saving Of thousands Of dol
lars and the decrease of the death
rate with corresponding increase in
health happiness and prosperity. DR..
Boudreau dealt in dry facts but he
made them intensely interesting. He
spoke of the American achievement
in constructing the Panama Canal
where the French nation so signally
failed, as due to the discovery and
elimination of the cause of yellow
fever in the mosquito. His references
to the work of Pasteur and Koch in
the field of bacteriology were so
plain that school children could un-
derstand. Startling were the an
nouncements substantiated by statis-
ties that Bovine tuberculosis is trans
mitted through milk to human beings
and that there are hundreds of chill
dren in the state who are crippled for
life or condemned to lives of invalid
ism in consequence of this disease be-
ing permitted to infect the dairy cat
tie. There is more typhoid fever in
the rural districts of Ohio than in
the cities; 1900 deaths per year from
this disease in Ohio, and here milk
figures prominently as a carrier of
this disease. One case in an Ohio
town was the source of 1873 cases and
the medium of transmission was milk.
Next to milk the fly figures as a
spreader of this disease, hence the
need of cleaning up all breeding
places for flies as well as taking care
to keep the milk supply clean and
pure. Eighty-six per cent. of all the
deaths of American soldiers in the
Sanish American War was due to ty.
phoid fever; at present there is prac-
tically no typhoid among the soldiers
of the United States Army for the
reason that the men have been immun-
lied by vaccination. The State of
| Ohio furnishes to all physicians in the
state the typhoid vaccine and any one
who desires may be rendered immune
(, to this deadly disease. Diptheria
| claims 100 victims every year in
| Ohio and Dr. Boudreau declared that
anti toxin will cure every case if given
as soon as the symptoms of the dis
ease make their appearance. Scarlet
fever, whooping cough, measles and
infantile paralysis were each discuss
ed by DR.. Boudreau and we regret that
we can not give more space to his
statements and advice as touching this
subject of so vital Importance to the
community. When one stops to con-
slider that with a birth rate of 100,-
900 per annum in Ohio there is NOR

WATCHFUL WAITING

Where are we going and whittier
are we drifting?
Our flag has been insulted both in
Mexico and in Europe.
Our citizens murdered on the high
seas and tortured to death in the
southern Anarchy. No one has salut-

fully waiting. Like the little General
of olden times we shipped our Troops
TO Vera CRUZ then shipped them
back again. And still we are watch
ing and waiting.

money to his Attache, Won Papen who
IN turn hired the destruction of lives
and property within the borders of
our own country; some one must be
sacrificed and Won Papen was sent

Our mails have been held ND by the
English and the only protest has been
a note telling them it was naughty to
do such thing.
Cargoes destined for Neutral Ports

and no protest made at all.
Insult after insult has been added
to injury all because the Administra-

Although on account of the preva-
lence of grip the attendance at the
session of the Clinton township Farm
ers Educational Institute was far
from being as large as the character
of the program deserved, yet the in
stitute proved to be OF great practical
value to those who did attend and
through them to the community.
Friday morning and afternoon ses-
sions were devoted to the practical
problems of farming. Mr.. Charles
Allen of Toledo presented the gospel
of alfalfa on every farm in which
he certainly believes with all his
heart and also the question of "Get-
ting The Best out of Fulton County
matter in which he is enthusiastic
ally interested.
Jay Burr gave very practical ad-
dress on Dairy Cattle and Their
Management" and the fact that Mr.
Burr's knowledge of his subject has
been obtained by years of practical ex-
perience made his address doubly in
teresting and valuable. Prof. Stilson
State Manager of the Ancient Order
of Cleaners struck new note fol
Farmers Institute discussions with
his presentation of "The Business Emo
of Farming"
Mr.. Stilson's real subject seems te
be the awakening and developing OF
the business sense of the Farmer; te
get him to- use some of his mental
ability in marketing his crops instead
of devoting all Of it to raising them
70 IaalJ of+ar ,11 II
political interests as well as the in.
terests of his land and live stock. In
Friday evenings talk Mr.. Stilson gave
expression to the following maxim
at is not what we eat but what we
digest that keeps up our vitality anC
strength; it is not what we read but
what we remember that makes u.
wise and it is not the volume of crops
that the farmer raises but the prices
he gets for them that makes him pro
sperous," Mr.. StilsOn referred tt
the courts of the present not as dis
pensers of justice but as interpreter:
of the law. The laws of this coun
try are the will of the sovereign peo
pie and the farmers form large par
of that sovereign people" they hav,
neglected to use their voice and in
fiuence in making the laws and they
must bear the responsible for made
quate and inequitable laws. He re
ferred at some length to the law which
makes the boundary of farm land
come to the middle of the public high
way; an aggregate of 5184 acres O
land in Fulton county upon which tn,
owners pay taxes must maintain AM
! keep open for the public without get
ting any use from whatever. Th
Farmers said Mr.. Stilson are "lon,
suffering and mighty patient" bu
"they neglect to go and look afte
their own business"
