Master of Mmde,~ Mysteries

der. Protesting against the inclusion Of
his mistress in the charge, he confessed
that he had waited for Thompson, told
him he must separate from his wife;
and that in the resultant fight he had
used knife. Another fatal admission
Meantime, Wensley's men had searched
Bywaters' "ditty box" on board his ship,
and found letters which contained, en-
tangled among passionate endearments,
grim hints at conspiracy to murder
the husband Wensley handed to the
public prosecutors office the whole pic
ture of what had happened in that dark
street at dead of night. The young hus-
band walking along by his wife's side.
The wife chatting easily to hold his
attention while waiting for the MUIR
derous attack which she knew was to
come (unless her lover lost his nerve).
The Stealthy rush in and the first muir
derous stab in the back. The fierce
struggle between the wounded man and
his treacherous asSailant The woman
holding her shrieks until her husband
had fallen and the murderer had fled.
The protracted attempt, lasting q hours
and calling for mastery acting, to keep
the truth from Wensley. The jury
found them both guilty, and both were
hanged.
Wensley subsequently observed that
Edith Thompson's acting nearly sue
ceeded in its purpose. If another IL
hours had elapsed before he got hint
of the existence of a lover, Bywaters
would have destroyed the evidence
which alone secu' ed the conviction both
of himself and Of his mistress.
And now Wensley has come out of
retirement to tackle another battling
case. But this time the clews are cold,
and much of the evidence may be de-
stroyed. VIII the iron man" of Scot

stantial. They could not take Bywaters
into court on what they had. They had
not even evidence that Bywaters was
on the spot at the time of the crime.
But Wensley had still an ace in the
hole. He knows the human heart as
few men do.
All this time Bywaters and Edith
Thompson had been carefully kept
apart. Neither knew that the other was
detained. But if this knowledge came
to one or the other, might not the
contact produce a nervous explosion
which would blast away some of the
obstacles in the way of the truth?
Mrs Thompson was being kept in the
matron's room and interrogated in the
c. I. D. Office. To get from this Office
to the station house one had to traverse
a yard. From this yard the library of
the police was plainly visible through its
big window, and in the library Bywaters
was being held, not yet having been
formally arrested and charged. Passing
through the yard now With the police
captain, after her last interrogation by
Wensley, Edith Thompson saw through
the window the figure of her lover. So
they had got him! They knew all. Her
nerve crumbled. How did she stand?
She stammered: "Oh, God! Why did he
do it must tell the truth"
IA /ENSLEY was still in his chair when
she was brought back And now
she talked. A man had rushed at her
husband in that dark street, there had
been struggle, she had seen the man
running away. He was Bywaters. Fatal
admission, on which there was no turn
ing back! Bywaters was then told that
they would both be charged with mur-

Clubs. the Junior League of America and now
the League Of American Pen Women to say
nothing of those representing work produced

mention is made in these columns at this time.
BECAUSE of his close association with local
art organizations and former residence in

A Wider Outlook

Although many writers deplore the alleged lower
standard of current magazines which are extremely
popular with certain class of people, reports from
booksellers and librarians declare that there is a
growing demand for the better sort of literature.
Works dealing with travel history and biogra-
ply are being called for in increasing numbers, es-
pecially those pertaining to foreign countries
There is no doubt that the war and the important
events which have followed it have given the Amer-
can people wider outlook on the world and de-
sire to of the countries and peoples which
are playing such important parts in its affairs.
Newspapers, generally both dailies and weeklies,
find that their readers interested in wider range
of topics than formerly and giving more space
to news and editorials dealing with national and in
ternational matters.
This all means that the people of America, and
particularly the rural population outgrowin the
narrow provincalism of the past and are eager for
contact with the rest of the world through books
newspapers moving pictures and the radio

''No Better Will Be Made"

Looking back only comparatively few years
we may remember or have called to mind many
things which taken seriously then but which
cause smile today.
Such a smile may be evoked by an advertisement
appearing in the Review of Reviews in 1899
Properly displayed and accompanied with an IL
lustration that looks very much like an ordinary
rubber-tired runabout buggy without a tongue the
advertisement said in part:
"The latest and best Horseless Carriage Com
Dimes all requirements for ideal and practical
pleasure business vehicle. No better will be made
Time cannot improve it. $500 Delivery in sixty DAYS
Send for illustrated catalogue and interesting read
ing matter about sef-propelled vehicles"
The fellow who wrote that advertisement took in
quite lot of territory. mo better will be made
Time can not improve it." Think of that's years
ago.

Why Not Boost High School Football?

Inc attendance at football games, since the in
auguraton of this sport in the athletic program of
the Public School, has not been as good as should
be- 1t is rather disconcerting to those charge and
1t is certainly no encouragement to the boys on the
eleven To produce winning team it is necessary
to have the support of the entire community and to
have good material. Fridays game showed that
there is no lack of material and also proved that
the necessary support is sadly lacking Of course it
is true, there many who attend afternoon
football games, owing to their work And that brings
us to the point in question: lighted football field.
Night football is said to be profitable and it GER
tainy encourages great increase in attendance
at least that is the opinion of those who have attend
ed some of the night games at Glenwood and other
Places where night football has become the most
popular of sports Owing to the fact that we have
no lighted field, support is necessary at the af
ternoon games. Your attendance this next Fridat
afternoon when alexandria and the Locals meet on
the gridiron, will be greatly appreciated and will
give the boys an added incentive to win.

levy has increased more than 30
per cent since Governor Olson and
the Farmer-Labor administration
came into office officials of the Unit
ed Minnesota Voters in a commu-
nication addressed to voters here
this week asked all citizens to OPP
pose the government ownership
program of the Farmer-Labor party
if they wish to avoid further huge
tax increases.
Declaring that adoption of the
communistic platform of the Farm
er-Labor party will increase taxes
to the point where homes and
farms will be confiscated, the state
ment asked taxpayers to enroll in
the United Minnesota Voters and
aid in this nonpartisan effort to
prevent adoption of the wholesale
government ownership plan pro-
posed by the ,Farmer-Labor Party.
Carl w. Cummins, of st. Paul, and
Arthur M. Nelson, of aFirmont are
co-chairmen, and oliver T. Skellet,
of st. Paul, is secretary Of the or
ganization.
"The state tax levy for 1880 was
only $40 mills" the statement adj
kvised local voters. Governor Oh
son took office in 1881, and the state
tax levy has been climbing ever
since. The levy for 1888, which we
are paying this year, was 11.06 mills,
or the highest in the history Of the
state, and the levy for next year
must be higher yet.
1--WE have deficit OF $4,000, 900 in
the general revenue fund now, and
the tax levy for 1885 and succeed
ing years will have to be increased
to make up for this.
con top of al this, the Farmer-La-
Dor platform proposes that the
state take over and operate packing
plants, factories, transportation,
and communication systems, mines
and insurance companies. This will
mean immense loss in property val
uations and, taken with the loss in
operations which is sure to result
| from government ownership of all
these basic industries soon will raise
taxes to the point where all homes
and farms will be confscated."
Few persons appreciate how
much state taxes have increased,
the statement pointed out. The
state tax is not separated on the
tax statement, and the average tax
payer does not take the trouble to
figure it out.
1.-THE man with a 5000 farm paid
$11.4 in state taxes when he paid
his 1880 taxes" Mr.. Cummins said.
''The man who owns farm of the
same value today is asked to con-
tribute $2212 in state taxes when
he pays his 1888 taxes. Though ex-
penditures of the local units of
! government have reduced, the state
tax levy has increased steadily.
How much more the state tax would
be increased if the state goes into
the operation of vast business en-
terprises as the Farmer-Labor plat
form proposes, no one can guess
but certainly homes and farms soon
would be eonfiscated by the tax bur-
den"
The United Minnesota Voters are
, enrolling citizens who are opposed
to the Farmer-Labor platform and
conducting referendum among
them to determine whether Martin

or John e. Regain, the democratic

(By r. w. Hitchcock)
In a statement given out to the
press by the highway department
in June of this year, and given wide
circulation throughout the state, it
was shown that unless the legisla-
ture Immediately raised the motor
vehicle license rates, there would
be no money available for construc-
ton in 1885. The statement esti-
mated total receipts of the highway
oOPoA IAiSAC 1OI 4OCO dL @4S,OOO,UOUs
OF this 100000 would be required
for maintenance, bonds and inter-
est. OF the balance, said the de-
partment, 100000 must be used for
the motor vehicle department, cur
rent expenses and partial payment
on past expenses, while 1850, 900
must be allotted for engineering
and administration expense, and ST.
O00OO for right of way expense.
This leaves just exactly nothing for
construction. If there is to be no
spend 81 100000 for engineering and
administration expense? "a still
greater puzzle is why, with no con-
struction, 81, 100000 is needed for
right of way expenses.
How does it happen, if Governor
Olson is so high in favor at Wash
ington, that Maine, smaller state
than Minnesota gets $147, 10000 of
federal funds, while Minnesota is
| allotted only $45,O0O,000? Or is it
possible that Governor Olson is
holding out on us? Do you sup
pose he thinks he could use the
other $102, Zoo, 900 to better advant-
age in October
The. Nelson keynote speech was
severe arraignment of the Olson
administration and a critical analy-
sis and condemnation of the farm
er-labor platform, but the governor
says it was nothing much but mud
singing" Perhaps the governor is
| peeved because Mr.. Nelson never
once mentioned him by name.
Still what the governor gets, to
| spend without let hindrance or ac-
counting, is nothing to be sneezed
at, especially along about election
time. No king, emperor or car
ever had more absolute control over
millions of other peoples money
than has Floyd B. Olson. No won

derisively when some taxpayer tim
| idly inquiries what is being done
with the money. During the first
half of September these driblets
trickled into the governors hands:

Der 18th, $2,50O,00O; September 18th,
I $47, 1854; September 18th, $1,000,-

didate for office and have nearly

where it would do the most good?

PRESS COMMENT

Do you realize that the national,
state and local governments re-
quire Of US American citizens that
we spend more for taxes than we
spend for food. The tax bill for
government Is nine billions of dol
lars. Government costs three times
AS much as 1t costs to- run the
automobiles Of the country, three
times as much as people pay for the
rent of their homes or for raiment.
The tax bill is four times what we
pay for heat and light. One dollar
out Of every five that we earn goes
to government. How long is it go
ing to take US to spend ourselves
rich? Morris Tribune.

People fall for lot Of things
these days, but to suppose that the
people of Minnesota will fall for
some Of the statements coming
from Mr. Townley is almost beyond
belief. He has made the statement
that Gov. Floyd B. Olson received
$4,000 for appointment of Julius
Olson to the Supreme court bench
and that he received a still larger
sum for appointment Of John P.
Devaney as chief justice. He also
makes the statement that Gov.
Olson was responsible for the shoot
ing recently of Mr.. II. A. Guilford.
Mr.. Townley has always been
more or less a little off, but that
he should expect people to believe
statements of that kind makes him
more luny than we thought he was
Olson has gone far in many things,
He has done things that the ordin-
airy fellow would not be accused OF
and Mr.. Townley very likely be
lieves that in Olson's case almost
ANYTHING can be made to stick. II
is rather poor comment on at
fairs in Minnesota that two men
who are considered as having some
influence and standing in the state
should be either the accuser or the
accused in such cases. -Glenwood
