moods again today. Both again pro-
tested their innocence. Eastlake said:
There is only one justice and that
is supreme justice. There is only
one person besides myself who knows
that did not kill her and that is my
wife herself. For the whole rest of
1t l do not care 4 shred. 1 do not
care what they do with me nor what
the newspapers say about the case,
and whether they put the blame on

that could worry me would be my
children. But 1 know they are in
good hands and are being taken

SENATE TO MEET AT
 NIGHT, HASTE URGED
Day Sessions Will Also Con-
 menCe One Hour Earlier

Washington, Sept 2S.-With a view to expediting action on the peace treaties with Germany, Austria and Hungary and on tax revision legisla- ton, republican leaders planned today to put through program calling not only for night sessions of the senate but for the beginning of the day ses- sions ar hour earlier than usual. The tax Dill would be considered during the day and the treaties at night.
 There is a desire to dispose of the treaties before the beginning of the conference on the limitation of arma- ments and since the three pacts must be acted upon separately leaders plan to lose TO time in getting their con- sideration fully under way.
 Chairman Penrose of the, finance committee is determined to push the tax bill as fast as possible. Opposition to some features apparently has taken on a wider range than at first was expected
 Aside from the tax measures and the treaties, many other measures of importance are awaiting action. There IS an agreement to vote on the Pan anna canal tolls repeal bill on October 10 and Senator Sterling, republican, South Dakota, in charge ot the beer bill has given notice that after the tax bin and the treaties are out of the way he will insist that the conference repors on the beer measure be dis posed of without interruption.
 Other matters pending include the railroad refunding bill and the meas ure authorizing the secretary of the treasury to fund into long time securi- ties the debts owed the United States by its former associates in the world war.
 After the tax bill is passed, Senator Penrose plans to have his committee resume consideration of the permanent tariff bilk
 The emergency law expires on Mo- vember 27 and representatives of agri- cultural interests already have asked that the finance committee report a bill continuing its life.

WITH EDUCATION.

It Is generally conceded that edu- ta ion Is coming into it's day. Talk with the rpan who has been den.ed the. privilege of college education or any sort of higher training. yoI will dis cover that he does not intend 10 have his boy begin where he began. Ho intends that his boy shall start ii:c free from the handicap of ignor- aEce.
 Not exactly alongside of education but bound 10 it by a tie that will af- feet the ordinary individual in the coming years. will be a keener ap- 9reciation of the value Of courtesy and decency and polltcnoss.
 The educated man fattets himself. perhaps subeonsciously. that he Ls recognized as such because of his good manners and kindliness and courtesy.

THE DENTAL CLINIC.

The dental clinic has at Inst become something tangible. Plans arc under way to make 1t possible for children to grow up with clean. strong teeth. and when older persons may have some of the attcgtioH long needed.
 The Health Board. the dental asso- ciation and tho welfare associations arc interested in this matter-perhaps tho dentists themselvos have shown a remarkably unsclash attitude.
 IL Is tho wish to raisc compara- lively small amount or money at this time to keep the clinic which win be established. going until Aprll. when an appropriation will be sought from and probably granted by the city.

He speaks correctly; the tone of his 7oice is inevitably moderate; he does not shout and wave his arms when excited.
 Of course much of this may be ac- quired through contact with a very rough world. Moreover many mis- take education" as something requir- ing a special knowledge of books. It does require a knowledge gleaned from teachers. but also it requires a cultivation of mind that must be shown to some degree in physical action.-in good manners, for instance
 But those who have decided wisely that the era of education is at hand. must remember that other things .han 'book-learning" are included in the term and that they must not be sighted Much of this change will come with the growth of the sort of education taken from books and from association with others who,, too, seek tkat sort of education.
 But the example of the father and the mother and others about the home will help as the one being edu- cated will help those denied the thing popularly called education.
 Education will leaven all life.

health. IL is almost impossible to con- vince n child. or even some older per sons that the bad condition of the teeth causes much pain of body; that many of the bad feelings and much of the sickness in the world is caused by defective teeth.
 In the homes of the wealthy. where means are sought out to take the best care of a child that Is possible. the child is so brought Up that he does not feel right" all day unless he has brushed his teeth. Many people never sit down to a meal without having brushed the teeth. and repeat the little operation afterwards.
 Adults and little people have sore gums and suffer therefrom. They are then apt to realize that they have not attended to the teeth properly. But when the little child or the older per- son. ignorant of the importance of care of the teeth. is sick of body and is able to find no cause, he is apt to laugh at the physician who tells him he is able to do nothing for him until he has had his teeth taken care of.
 It is to be hoped that the teaching of and attending to the teeth of the children and adults, unable to pay for dental service. will be begun as soon as possible. It is just as much a Safety First movement, if not a greater one. than was observed last week.
