THE HOUSE CLEANING.

lWepster CITY freeman Journal
The Freeman-Journal Is not going
to attempt to defend any state officer
who INDUCES in questionable methods
and who uses his influence to pro-
mote unsound financial ventures, but
1t protests against the attempt of
anybody to hold the Hon. N . Il.
Kendall, republican candidate for
governor Of Iowa, in any way re-
sponsible for anything Of question
able nature that has taken place in
this state in which state officers are
involved. Mr.. Kendall has been be-
fore the people for many years, as
member Of the state legislature and
Of congress, and no breath of suspic-
lon has ever attached to any part Of
his record. He is q clean man per-
sonally and publicly and IL entitled
to be considered solely upon his own
merit. We believe the people Of Iowa
are fair enough to consider Mr.. Ken
dalis candidacy from that viewpoint.

GRAFT AND BUSINESS.

The channels OF business are SUI
fering today because of the democrat
ization which entered the lives OF
many promotion stock sellers. Stock
selling has wrecked homes and
destroyed families. The poor investor
is wondering what to do: Is wonder
ing whether to throw good dollars
after bad ones. II there is some way
to make every stock selling agent pay
back to the poor purchaser Of stock

Now that George Messenger has
been broken down, some state sena-
tors boast that If he hadn't resigned
as state bank commissioner, "the leg
islature would have been after him."
The legislature had it's chance to
clean up at the state house and laid
down on the job. Now that someone
else has started the cleaning the leg

ACCIDENTS THEN AND NOW.
FDayenpOrt Times

davenport Times.1
There Is much talk these days
about automobile accidents. It seems
to be assumed that fatal accidents
OF travel on highways were practi-
cally unknown in this country until
the automobiles became numerous.
One would infer from occasional dis
'cussions that accidents at grade cross
ings have developed since the mach
ines have come into common use. And
Yet those who are older know that
fatal accidents on the streets and on
the highways are not recent develop
ments. In the days when the horse
was used altogether for drawing We
hicles there We're many fatal acct
dents. Scracely week went by in
any village that some team dId not
run away and crash into a wagon
or buggy or the corner of a house
Teams ran away In crowded streets.
On the country roads runaways were
common. And the drivers Of buggies
and wagons were just as careless at
railway crossings as are the auto
mobile drivers today. Fatal acct
dents on the streets and on the high
ways are not new, and IL there Is any
increase in the number it is due not
to the method of transportation but
rather to the increased volume Of
traffic.

Slayer Of Infa1at
 Pays On GaIlOuDs

Tupelo, Miss, Aug. 20.-Charlie Marshall. Monroe county farmer, was hanged in the jail enclosure here shortly after l o'clock this afternoon for the murder of hls illegitimate son, William Miller, In- fant grandchild of Robert Miller and youngest of four members o1 the Miller family who were shot or clubbed to death at Miller's farm house near Amory, Miss, on the night of January 15. Marshall was hanged at 1:16 o'clock. Only the witnesses required by law were ad- mitted within the enclosure. The condemned man went to gallows without making any statement con corning the tragedy. He bore up we'll throughout the forenoon, and was but slightly nervous. He reach ed here from Aberdeen this morn ing at seven o'clock in the custody of Sheriff J. B. Lewis of Monroe county. The prisoner was hustled quickly from the railway station to the Lee county jail and surrend- cred to Sheriff Inman. ,,
 The crime for which Marshall was hanged was described by Jus tice Holden of the Mississippi Su- preme Court, in announcing the courts decision affirming the death sentence, as "one of fiendish bru- tality-unparalleled in the criminal history of the state"
 Miller and his son and daughter the latter the mother of the in fant were shot and the baby clubbed to death, and their bodies burned Tn fire which destroyed the Miller home. Their charred bodies were found in the ruins. :.
 Charlie Marshall, a neighbor of the Millers, and alleged to have been the father of the infant Miller. was accused of the killing by Pearl May Miller, IA years old, daughter of the man killed and only member of the family who escaped. At Mar shall's trial held in Tupelo on change of venue from Monroe coun- ty, she told of watching the work of the slayer from a place of con cealment where she sought safety after the house had been party de- stroyed by dynamite. She escap- ed just before the slayer applied the torch to the building.
 Owing to intense public feeling Mershall was removed to Jackson for safekeeping shortly after his arrest and during his arraign- ment at Aberdeen and trial here state troops stood guard over the courthouse.
 J. E. Marshall, the father of Charles Marshall, and the latter's brother, Felix Marshall, also were indicted in connection with the murder. The eldest Marshall was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment, but on appeal to the State Supreme Court the verdict of the lower court was set aside and the charge on which he was tried was ordered dismissed. Felix Marshall has not been tried.

NECROE SCULPTURE

Give Bell, a London critic, in his regular contribution to Arts and Decorations, writes about negro sculpture and tells how he measures it's worth. It may help some of us lot in recognizing the value of primitive works of art. MT. Bell says:
 "Beacuse, in the past, negro art has been treated with absurd con- tempt, we are all inclined now to. overpraise it, and because 1 mean to keep my head 1 shall doubtless, by my best friends, be called a fool. Judging from the available data no great stock, by the way-l should say that negro art was en- titled to a place among the great schools, but that it was not matched for the greatest. With the greatest I would compared it; would com pare it with the art of the supreme Chinese periods (from Han to Sung) with Mohamedan, which, for archae- ological purposes, begins under the Sassanians a hundred years and more before the birth of the proph- ct; would compare it with Roman esque and early Italian (from Giot- to to RaffaeD, but l would place it below all these. On the other hand when consider the whole corpus of black art known to us, and compare it with Assyrian, Ro- man, Indian, true Gothic (not Ro- manesque, that is to say), or late Renaissance, it seems to me that the blacks have the best of it.
 And, on the whole, l should be inclined to place west and central African art, at any rate, on a level with Egyptian. Such sweeping classifications, however, are not to be taken too seriously.
 All want to say is that though the capital achievements of the greatest schools do seem to me to have an absolute superiority ov- CT anything negro l have seen yet the finest black sculpture is so rich in artistic qualities that it is entitled to place beside them.

"I was in bed for six long months with stomach trouble and rheuma- tism and Tanlac alone deserves the credit for my recovery" said George Gregoire, popular longshore- man, of 2718 3rd Avenue, Seattle, Wash. 'I have gained twenty pounds and feel like 1 was never sick day in my life," he contin- ued.
 "My trouble started year ago. My appetite left me and what forced myself to eat would cause a severe pain in my stomach and shortness of breath. Meats were almost like poison to my system; got as weak as a kitten and rheu- matism laid hold of me so bad could hardly drag myself about. My kidneys seemed to give way, too, and my back hurt so I couldn't stoop over. My head ached like it would split and l would get so dizzy had to hold to something to keep from falling. I lost sleep and weight and was completely down and out.
 "Tanlac helped me so much that I was out of bed in three weeks and now I am like a different mar All my troubles are entirely gone I am back at work every day and do my work so easily l surprise the men who work with me. l never felt better in my life and 1 give Tanlac all the credit for my splen. did health."
