: A NOTABLE SPEECH. Every
once in a while it is given some man
to rise to the heights, to display a
nobility not only of utterance, but
also of sentiment There has been
no saner, finer speech made about
the war than that delivered by EIihu
Root before the Republican club in
New York city the other night It
was a noble echo of the immortal
war address by President Wilson.
There have been Republican mar
plots who were unwilling to accept
the verdict of the country when it
reelected Wilson. They have rent
the air with their cries that Secretary
of War Baker and Secretary of the
Navy Daniels must go; that coaH-
ton cabinet must be formed; and
that men like Root must be called in
by the president.
Root has now made specific an
sWer to this Unpatriotic noise:
I'VE Republicans were defeated at
the last election and now our first
duty is to control ourselves, to BAN
ish from our hearts every feeling of
party prejudice, and to filI them with
a strong love of country and a strong
desire to do our duty for our country.
We need no coalition government to
make US loyal. We must make a
coalition of ourselves, a coalition of
all our people to hold up the hands
of the government of the United
States"
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-04-20

Nor was that all. Root has heard
the malicious criticism of Daniels. He
has heard the sneers at Baker who
all the time was giving his best en-
ergies to developing a plan for a
great army. He remembered that in
Lincoln's day there was the same
kind of criticism and sneering at
Secretary Of War Stanton and Secre-
tary of the Navy WeIles.
Root knows that during that great
conflict when mistakes were made,
when generals and admirals failed to
win hoped-for victories, there were
bitter complaints And to forestal
and cOUnteract all this, he uttered
these words, which all Of US might
take to heart in the weeks and
months, perhaps years Of war ahead
Of US:
There is one other thing of which
would sound a warning, the danger
from the first dying down of en-
thUsiasm. The United States has
never had a war without its bungling
and its mistakes, Do not let US Re-
pubIicans join in the band of faint
hearts, who, when criticism comes,
withhold their support. The newt
able shortcomings of a democracy
in preparing for war will come. Then
will be the time for the stout hearts
to stand by our country and say: NO
matter what mistakes have been
made we are for our government and
our country Let US do this when
the faint-hearted and the scurriIous
are crying down our government Let
US stand by as we stood by Lincoln
when the faint hearts were saying,
The war is a failure
I'm i'll repute, success or failure
come what may, let Us stand BY"

Staying MYSTERY
Gray Hairs Clasped in Death
Struggle Strong Evidence.
Business Partner Charged With
Killing Family of Three.

Johnstown, Pa, July 16.-Deepest
mystery surrounds the motive for the
murder of Edmund HUMPHREYS, Sr.,
his wife and their % year old son,
Edmund, near Carrolltown, this coun-
ty, Sunday morning. George Tomp-
kins, a business associate of Humph-
ries is a prisoner in the county jail
at Ebensburg, charged with the crime.
The police are proceeding with
their investigation on the theory that
business differences were the motive
for the crime. Information has
reached the authorities from a source
that has not been divulged, that
HUMPHREYS was dissatisfied with the
manner in which Tompkins had been
conducting the Philadelphia business
of the Newbern Coal company, in
which both were interested. Tomp-
kins had come to Carrolltown to be-
come a member of the company, but
a pending deal made necessary the re-
turn of both men to Philadelphia,
where they were to have negotiated
certain contracts today.
Denies Trouble Between Them.
1t is said the men quarreled Satur-
day night, but Tompkins denies this.
asserting that there had never been
tenaciously to his original story that
the crime was committed by masked
bandits.
The murder of Mrs. HUMPHREYS and
Il0T SOn is dSCTlDeQ ny the
to a desire of the slayer to cover up
the murder of HUMPHREYS.
The revolver with which the muir
6ers were committed was found by
county police officials today near the
scene of the crime. s7
Before God, I'm innocent. My
hands are clean of this" exclaimed
Tompkins when arraigned toby on
charge of murder. lie pleaded not
guilty.
Tompkins's version of the treble
killing is that while he was riding
with the HUMPHREYS family in their
machine four masked men attacked
He said he tripped and fell over
stone SO the gunner thought him
dead and continued shooting at Hum
phries, who fled. Humphries's body
was later found in a cornfield and
Tompkins carried all three corpses
to Carrolltown.
Evidence of Struggle.
Attic Tompkins said the shots were
fired from a distance of sixty feet,
powder burns were found by the coro-
ner on the victims clothing. There
were other alleged discrepancies in
the accused mans statement
That there had been a terrific
struggle before HUMPHREYS was done
to death was evident The tall grass
of the field was trampled, the victims
clothing was torn and, in addition to
the bullet wounds in his head, the
skull had been beaten by a blunt in
strument, evidently the butt of the
revolver with which he was shot
Tightly clutched in one of Hum
phries's hands the police found sew
eral gray hairs. These were of the
same shade as Tompkins's hair and
will be an important exhibit in the
trial of the case.

PLANS DISCUSSED TODAY
Financial Institutions Repre-

Funds Will Be Pledged at a
Later Date.
PLANS DISCUSSED TODAY

Details of the two million dollar
seed wheat fund campaign were to-
day unfolded to representatives Oh
railroads, harvester companies, mil
lers bankers, elevator men, lumber
men and other financial representa-
tives. The meeting in Governor Cap
per's office adjourned without formal
subscriptions being placed The seed
fund plan, it was stated by business
and financial representatives would
be presented to boards of directors.
Representatives of the Santa Fe,
Rock Island, Union Pacific, and Mis-
souri, Pacific railroads attended the
meeting. The International Harvester
company, the Millers' association, sew
eral boards of trade, banking organ
izations, lumbermen's associations and
kindred interests attended the meet
ing They listened to lengthy discus
sions of details for the maximum
wheat acreage plan They heard a
proposal for a distribution among
various interests of the two million
dollar seed fund, but took no formal
or final action.
Railroads Favor Plan.
Speaking as a railroad man and not
for his railroad or committing 1t TO
any positive position, j. X hoontz'
general freight agent for the santa re,
declared that the plan for more wheat
naturally appealed to railroad men
also declared that the plan for more
grain was one to arouse the patriotic
spirit of Americans and the element
of speculation aroused the investor
Other railroad men endorsed the
Koontz statement Then they told the
defense council that they would lay
the program for funds before their re-
spective boards of directors.
The plan outlined at todays meet
ing covered the same ground traced by
the council in former sessions. 1t pro-
cided thru utilization of medium
wheat acreage by advancement of
funds an a basis of one-fifth net crop
return to the investor. In each county
where seed is furnished, it was stated,
local organizations would be compell-
ed to place investments, direct plant
ing and harvesting of crops and put
UP 20 to so per cent of the gross
funds.
In the campaign to locate seed
wheat and to work out plans for
prompt movement of seed and crops,
the railroad men promised co-opera-
ton and assistance. Subscriptions by
the railroads. as weH as other inter-
cSts, will be made at a later date.
Immediate action will be taken by
the council, it was declared. to direct
the collection of fund sufficient to
meet the needs. Pamphlets are now
being prepared showing the detailed
plans of the council in the seed wheat
drive. These pamphlets will be
placed with all interests which may
be induced to invest money in the
campaign. Original plans of the
council may be extended not only to
include the individual investor and
the giant Kansas corporations, but
also the automobile manufacturers,
states which profit thru the harvest
ing of a big crop in Kansas
