HOLDING LIFE CHEAPLY

Why man who has killed three
people with an automobile under most
aggravated circumstances, should be
given a term of from six to ten years
in the penitentiary when he would have
been given twenty-five years to life and
possibly executed for killing any one
of them with pistol or an axe, is hard
to see. Yet that is what has been done
in Philadelphia.
The man who drove the automobile
was Henry G. Brock, a wealthy banker
of Philadelphia who made himself drunk
last winter. While drunk he proceeded
to drive his powerful machine through
the streets at high rate of speed. At
one point where a number of people
were standing, waiting for street-car,
Block deliberately plunged through the
crowd without giving them the slightest
warning or any chance of escape. He
killed three people, two of whom were
women. He struck them with such
force that blood and portions Of their
bodies were smeared all over his car.
For this triple murder, for which there
is not the slightest excuse or palllauon,
this man is given the ridiculous term
of from six to ten years in the peniten-
tiary. If ever man merited the death
penalty it was he.
What made the murder of the three
people all the more atrocious was the
fact that Brock, after running them
down, drove away without paying the
slightest attention to his victims. That
fact alone should have brought him the
sentence he has received for taking
three lives. He should, in fact, have
been sent to prison because of his ac-
ton in attempting to drive an automo-
bile while drunk.
Two to three years for human life.
Evidently magistrates in Philadelphia
hold the lives of the people of that city
to be something exceedingly cheap.

How woman will wear shoes that

of a custom that has set great part
of that city's feminine population by the
ears and that has recently gone to their
heads
1t became fashionable in good old
Lunnon for women to wear heavy ear
rings Not the small, "cute" kind; not
pearls that used to magnify the beauty
of cheeks that loved to be touched; not
diamonds that almost matched the spar
kle of Milady's eager eyes. None of

would suffice. For Milady's earrings

and mass.
The weights varied But no earring
was acceptable in polite society unless
it responded nightly to the call of grav-
ity. Heavy? More than. They pulled
Milady's ear lobes down so far and so
rapidly as to interfere not only with
her dancing-shoulder-shaking is not
unknown in London, too-but also with
her gait as pedestrian.
Still she wore then,-until she went
to an ear specialist, or some such nui-
sance, and wanted her ears unstretched.
Then she was wroth, indeed. Such in
compctents! What were they paid for,
anyway?
The disfiguration. said the specialists,
would be permanent. There was no
known way to restore Milady's ears to
their natural compass and size. Milady
was up against it!
Yes? Well, then, she would keep her
houn' dawg ears, and exc the gypsy
earrings. She would simply transfer
the latter to her hat, giving them con-

VOTE AGAINST THEM
Ea&
KxT-

When the So-called Citizens" Ticket
was formed it was at first proposed to
make E. G. LeStourgeon the candi-
date for tax commissioner. It was final
~ decided that he would not be an
acceptable candidate for that position be-
tause of the views he holds on the ques-
hon of taxation.
| In other words, the hackers of the
Citizens Ticket did not dare put forth
LeStourgeon as a proper man to be
tax commissioner.
! The reason for their fear was that
LeStourgeon is believer in the theory
pf Single tax"
"Single tax" means that all taxation
bhall be abolished except upon land If

the members of the Legislature eight
different propositions, all of them in

ble of this state. There is deficit in

10 Governor Neff it is necessary to have
more money with which to meet the
Shortage. He therefore proposes that
The people of this state shall be more
heavily taxed than at present.
If LeStourgeon had his way, all these
lakes would be piled upon the owners
II real estate. alone. They would be
I}ompelled to pay all the existing taxes
Ind every dollar of those which may
be added to the burdens we now have.
| The recent history of taxation in
Pexar county is we'll known to every
body. The pledge of Mayor Black was
That "taxes will be reduced" The out
I4ome of his singularly inefficient admin
lisration was that taxes were not only
not reduced but increased.
If LeStourgeon has his way, all these
Increased taxes will be dumped upon the
owners of land.
This means that every owner of real
estate in San Antonio would instantly
be confronted by an enormous increase
in taxation. The money must come from
somewhere and under LeStourgeon's
theory the only place from which it could
come would be from the pockets of men
who own land.
The result would be that every small
landowner in San Antonio, every mar
who owns small home, every man who
owns a lot, would be compelled to pay
tremendous increase in taxes.
Do the people of San Antonio wish tc
elect as commissioner a man who hold:
such ideas as those? Do they consider
him a safe man to entrust with the con
duct of their affairs?
If he is not safe man to trust will

claim that he is safe man to trust
Are they, in their turn, safe people?

it was at first intended?
Because they did not dare to do it.
They knew that his record as a "singl
taxer" would bring about his utter de
feat. They knew that every landowne
would vote against him.

PRESIDENT OF

Correspondent

PEKING, June l5.-Ex-President
Iii Yuan Hung, who fled from Pek-
ing and resigned his office upon
threat of mutiny of the army,
is now arranging to recall his re-
signation.
Ii Yuang Hung declares he will
continue his fight and will seek to
re-establish himself in power
The expresident is telling wild
tales about the manner in which
he was forced out of office. He
declares that the police conspired
with his servants in refusing to give
him food or water. which is untrue,
because visitors had lunch and tea
with him daily after the militarists
announced they would no longer sup
port him.
Reports that Ii Yuan Hung was
captured by opposition troops are
untrue. Upon his arrival at Tient-
sin after his flight from Peking the
provincial governor welcomed him
with a body guard and explained
that Peking officers were anxiously
inouiring about the great seals of
China. The governor advised the
fugitive president to surrender them.
