1t was n splendid meeting which was
held by the Y. NJ. c. A. at Fern hall

A Rough-and- Tough Platform.

Abolish the Senate, demands the
labor party. Is that reply to the
provision contained in the Senate's
railroad measure forbidding strikes by
railroad employees or is it merely a
step in the direction of abolishing
Congress? There are advocates of
such proposition. They suggest
nothing as a substitute. They seem
to think the country could do with
out lawmaking body. The Senate
needs no defender. Intended as re-
viewer of the work of the House,
which is sometimes performed with
undue haste, the Senate has justified
its existence at every session of every
Congress since the country set up in
business for itself. 1t has improved
many House measures, and killed some
Others And as a reviewer of the
Presidents work in matters of trea-
ties and appointments it has on many
occasions rendered most important
service.
Abolish the life tenure of federal
judges, and elect all of them for short
terms, demands the labor party. Is

less to shocking degree. The streets
of Washington are not safe. Pedes-
trians do not sufficiently safeguard
themselves in seeing that the way is
clear before leaving the curb, and
many motorists run their cars with
utter indifference to the rules or to
the dangers that attend in poorly light
ed places and street ear stops.
A few days ago little girl was
killed at car stop because the rule
which requires vehicles to be halted
at least fifteen feet behind a car that
is stopped or is stopping was violated.
This tragedy should have warned
motorists to be more strictly on their
guard. And yet these nine mishaps
have occurred since then, with two
fatalities, and perhaps more, resulting.
Some degree of responsibility should
rest in all cases upon the driver of
the vehicle, who has charge of a dan
gerous machine and who, despite the
eccentricities of pedestrians, must be
on guard against the possibility of
sudden invasion Of his right of way.
In some cities no person whose ma
chine inficts serious injury upon
a pedestrian while in his own control
is ever again permitted to operate
motor car. This rule should be con
sidered for local adoption.

not conditions become, and remain,
so unsettled that all interests would

These are but 4 few planks taken
from the labor party's platform. The
others are of like amazing quality.
The whole is of kind that would
give the public pause if it stood any
chance of approval at the polls. But
it does not. The people are greatly
disturbed, but not enough so to take
refuge in any such program as the
Fitzpatrick Foster wing of the labor
ties is offering.
This business is but an elaboration
of the old Tillman- Blease cry, "To
hades with the Constitution" These
men would, if they could, make way
with the great charter, as something
out -of date-certainly something very
much in the way of their schemes for
securing control and running the
country after their half baked and
disordered notions.

The Press Agent.


The press agent sits in his Office so
cozy. He writes in a manner
both rapid and rosy,
Or dictates the stuff by the mile,
Discussing the merits of every dis
sension from a treaty to the
old fourth dimension,
In highly felicitous style.
He will take young lady just out of
the chorus, and under his guild
ance she'll set out before US
Opinions on ethics and art,
Until we are sure it would be a great
blunder to let such a rare in
tellectual wonder
Perform subordinate part.
If a man who has toiled to financial
position desires to be known for
his great erudition
He can turn to his faithful P. A.
And turn out long pages of classic
conniptions, concerning free
verse or Hebraic inscriptions
At moderate stipend per day.
Fame swiftly attends on a sage or a
singer, an automobile or a pat
ent clothes-wringer,
Or a new form of edible bran,
L they can be handled without inter
ference by this prudent pro-
lessor of print perseverance,
The wonderful press agent man!

MeXico's Reply.

! Mexico's note in response to the de-
mand of the United States for the re
| lease of Consular Agent Jenkins rem
ders an emphatic rejoinder imperative,
unless this government is willing to
! concede the reasonableness of the
Mexican reply, which would be tan
tamount to an abandonment of the
case.
In none of the points advanced by
the Carranza government is there any
ground for abating American insist
ence upon release of the accused and
imprisoned consular officer. The Mex
lean constitution itself provides for a
federal rather than local jurisdic
ton over all cases of this character,
fact which is deliberately ignored
or distorted in the present reply. The
claim that the government at Mexico
City cannot intervene to effect Jen
kins' release, therefore, is groundless.
Moreover, the statement that jenkins
could at any time have effected his
release by giving bail is wholly be-
side the mark. Had Jenkins applied
for release on these terms he would
have in sense acknowledged the
rGhtfulness of the procedure and rem
dered it difficult for the United States
to act in his behalf. 1t does not nee
essarily follow, from the present
statement of the Carranza govern
ment, that Jenkins could have secured
release on bail, that a demand to this
effect at the outset by him would
have resulted in his restoration to
liberty. This bail item appears to be
an afterthought, interjected to con
fuse the issues of the case.
Mexico, in effect, asks the United
States to withhold it's demand until
Jenkins has been tried and his guilt
| or innocence of the charge brought
against him established. That begs
the whole question. The United States
is proceeding on the ground that Jen-
kins is unjustly accused 1t is, more
over, proceeding with full knowledge of
the fact that he would not be given
fair trial in the Mexican courts if
their jurisdiction over his case were
admitted, which it is not.
1t must be admitted that the Mex
lean reply is shrewdly drawn in such
terms as to permit the final yielding
to the American demand on the basis
of submission to coercion. CarranZa
is playing politics. He will go as far
as he dares toward defiance and re-
sistance, and will probably then yield
to an imperative requisition for Jen-
kins' release couched in terms of an
ultimatum. 1t is to be expected that
when the American note of rejoinder
is framed it will contain a complete
and convincing refutation of the soph-
istries and exposure of the evasions
of the reply just received

OF tho forty club to ascertain how,
when. where and why.
The trouble all started q week ago
when some one opened q freight car
standing on the siding. In this CITY.
and started a grab fest which ended
In. the stealing of some TOO watermel-
ons consigned to Biando Bros, Tenth
avenue and Ninth street. Someone
made away with melon then some
one else heard about It and. soon q reg
ular flock of people crowded to the car
and each brought sack or small
wagon or some means of conveyance
to carry the melons. that they got for
nothing, home. ... W-a.
At the investigation It was ascer-
tained that someone had spread the
rumor. that the oar of melons had
been condemned and that anyone who
wanted them could have them. The
Riddles heard the grand news and they
made rush for the freight car patch.
Not only the Riddles, both boys and
girls, hut also kids grown up, gather
ed like bees around honey and the
strange feature Of the case Is that no
one caught them at 1t.
After some 700 melons had been TAX
en- the crowd dispersed and SOON the
theft was made known and investiga-
tons began. One small lad csught,
told his story and then told Of anoth-
er small lad and that Is the way that
the detectives followed thru until they
had the names of all those implicated.
1t appears that the theft was the re-
suit OF malice on the part Of SOM
firm in this city who is opposed to the
Biando company, and they had spread
the rumor that the melons had been
condemned for the purpose of starting
just such a melee as followed in order
that the market price might not be
lowered by anyone buying melons from
the outside.
1t was laughable to hear some Of
the excuses that were given.
Such things as, well, yu amt got
nuthin' on me. cause I didn't take
anything from the cur, cause y'u see
they just handed pe the melons, out
of the car. I didn't steal EN-" and
II didn't steal any, you see my boy
he took them and I just helped him
carry them home" and "Why did We
all take dem melons? oh, golly,
everybody was jes' helping theyselves
and we'uns did. too" were the most
common explanations.
Little black faced urchins rolled
their eyes and lowed" they just
naturally were not going to stand
around and be cheated out Of their
share of the pickings.
All Of the older members Of the
melon snitchers were taken to Justice.
LightneTs court and they there paid
for their melons and were also fined
and asked to pay the costs only. The
younger tots will be arraigned in the
Juvenile court Wednesday.

Escaped From Officers,
[By Associated Press

heilerton, July 30-Roy Emerson. of
erosion, recently convicted Of murder
Ing his mother, early this morning es-
caped prom guards who were taking
MIN to the Rnggold county Jail and
committed suicide by hanging himself
under bridge. He used a belt and a
piece Of barbed wire TO hang himself.
Emerson was convicted of second de-
gree murder at Mount Ayr on July 1e
and sentenced to lift imprisonment. A
lew days later he was released on bail
pending appeal to the supreme court.
Accompanied by his wife Emerson
went to Des Moines and tried to Sc
cure work. Last night word was re-
ceived that VIII Wallace had repudia-
ted part of his bond. Emerson was re-
arrested and under guard Of Henry
Rainer, sheriff of Union county, and
VIII Mcfarland started to Mount Ayr
in an auto. When near Keilerton the
machine broke down anud while re-
pairs were being made Emerson es-
capped.
Within a few minutes the entire
community E'as sea=ccA.!.E,s the Coua-
try and the alarm was spread over the
entire southwest part Of the state. No
trace Of Emerson was found until a
farmer reported that he had seen a
man go under bridge. The searchers
went there and found Emerson's body
hanging there. Emerson made his es-
cape about o'clock and his body was
found in about thirty minutes. Dr..
The coroner simply read the verdict,
ately summoned a jury and held an
inquest under the bridge, the scene
of The suicide.
The coroner simply read the verdict,
death by hanging. Testimony Of
Emersons guards was to the effect
that only one of them was armed and
that while the auto was being repaired
Emerson was allowed to get out and
| walk around. He wandered around for
| several minutes and then suddenly
| dashed into some underbrush. The
| body is being held here pending the
arrival Of Emerson's wife. The bridge
is only nine feet high and had the
barbed wire been a few feet longer
Emerson would have touched the
| ground.
| "lnnocent, But Stuck"
| Emerson's last words were spoken
just few seconds before his escape.
81 am innocent, but stuck" he re-
marked to Mcfarland, and q moment
| later dashed away.
