THANKS COOPER CASE AUDIENCE

Judge Hart From Bench Commends Decorum Observed.

ARGUMENT LASTS 5 HOURS

Captain Fltzhugh In Opening For the State Says Defense Will Point to the Colonel aa a Gentleman of the Old School, “At the Last Flower of Old Southern Chivalry”—Then He Refers to the Widow of the Slain Carmack and His Ten-Year-Old Son.

Nashville, Tenn., March 9.—After Captain C. T. Fitzhugh completed the opening argument for the state in the case against Colonel Duncan B. and Bolin J. Cooper and John D. Sharp, charged with the murder of former United States Senator E. W. Carmack, Judge William Hart ordered the jury withdrawn and said: “I want to thank the audience for the splendid order preserved. In spite of the splendid bursts of eloquence iiom the speaker there has not been a single demonstration, and the court is thankful to you for makin'g his task an easy one. “Remember the warning I gave you holds good today, too.” Fitzhugh is a dramatic orator and his exertions left hint nearly a physical wreck when he concluded. He spoke for five hours. Talks of Widow and Her Son. “There will be many arguments made to you.'' he said, “to touch your hearts. You will he asked to be generous and sympathetic. They will talk to you of this 'boy.' Why, gentlemen, be is twenty-B{?\en years old and some of the greatest achievements of men have been accomplished before n man is thirty, and they will point to Colopel Cooper as a gentleman of the old school, as the ‘last flower of the old southern chivalry.’ Do you believe ft? Was he a gentleman when he used that awful language in the presence of Miss Lee? And when they talk to you of sympathy, just look over there. You see in sable garments the widow of E. W. Carmack. You see on her arm the ten-year-old boy who was the pride of E. W. Carmack’s life. Did Duncan Cooper or Robin think of this widow or this boy when they shot down the husband or the father? Would it not have been better if Robin Cooper, instead of shooting the senator, had said to his father: ‘Father do not kill the father of this little boy; do not slay the husband of this fond wife,’ but he did not.

Mentions Duty of Press. "Harrlman, Rockefeller and Morgan are private citizens. They never held an office, but we know they exercise a powerful control In public affairs. Their names appear dally In the public press. Yet 'who ever heard one of these men demand that his name be omitted? Who ever heard of one of these men hunting down an editor and assassinating him on the street? It is the duty of the press to keep the public informed, and when he went into politics Colonel*Cooper made it the duty of the press to watch him." The Democrat and tne Indianapolis Dally News, each a full year for only $3.60.

JAILED BANKERS Flit. PRISON BOOK WRONG

Apparent Shortage of $26,000 Located by Convicts.

Pittsburgh March 9. Convicted bankers, now prisoners in the western penitentiary here, have discovered an apparent discrepancy of more than $26,000 tn the accounts of the prison. The board of visitors appointed Henry Reiber, formerly paying teller of the Farmers’ Deposit National bank, now a convict, to audit the books of the institution. Finding an apparent discrepancy and being unwilling to assume all responsibility, Reiber obtained the assistance of William Montgomery, former cashier of the Allegheny National bank, and J. B. F. Rinehart, former cashier of the Farmers’ and Drovers’ National bank of Waynesburg, Pa., both serving time. They agreed with him in his findings. Warden William Johnson Is absent on leave.

Some Brief Proper Names.

In the Zuyder Zee there is a bay called Y. and Amsterdam has the river Y. while, strange to say, In quite another part of the earth, In China, the same brief name Is given to a town. Elsewhere In the Flowery Kingdom, In the province of Honan, there Is a .c'lty called U. ami In France there is a river and In Sweden a town rejoicing In the name of A. \ Proper names of this brief nature are not, however, monopolized by places, instances are on record where Individuals have been similarly named. Some years ago there was a shop kept on the Rue de Louvan, Brussels, by Theresa O, and there Is a Mme. O In Paris, who Is well known as the proprietor of a.popular case. An amusing Incident Is recounted In conection with the impressment Into the military service of the son of this Mme. O. The young man could not write and so signed his name on the military papers with a cross. It not occurring to him nor to any of the officials how easily he could have written his name.—Boston Post.

Needed Making Over.

_ A girl in her teens Met a man in blue Jeans, And he said to her: “Ah, there, my treasure! . May I ask you to wed?” But the little girl said, “Get some garments first cut to your measure.”

Installment Offender.

“You are charged here with assault and battery, and I will have to fine you,” said the judge severely. “Charged, Is it?” asked the prisoner cheerfully. “Yes, charged.” “Well, charge the fine.”

STOMACH DISTRESS.

And all Misery from Indigestion Vanishes Five Minutes Later. Every family here ought to keep some Dlapepsin in the house, as any one of you may have an attack of Indigestion or Stomach trouble at any time, day or night. This harmless preparation willdigest anything you eat and overcome a sour stomach five minutes afterwards. If your meals don’t tempt you, or what little you eat seems to fill you, or lays like a lump of lead in your stomach, or if you have heartburn, that is a sign of Indigestion. Ask your Pharmacist for a 50c.ent case of Pape’s Dlapepsin and take one triangule after supper tonight. There will be no sour risings, no belching of undigested food mixed with acid, no stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or heavy feeling in the stomach, Nausea, Debilitating Headaches, Dizziness or Intestinal griping. This will all go, and, besides, there will be no sour food left over in the stomach to poison your breath with nauseous odors.

Pape’s Dlapepsin is a certain cure for all stomach misery, because it will take hold of your food and digest it just the same as if your stomach wasn’t there. Actual, prompt relief for all your stomach fhlsery Is at your Pharmacist, waiting for you. These large 60-cent cases contain more than sufficient to cure a case of Dyspepsia or Indesgestlon.

fHave Permanent Experts to Manage Public Positions* • • • • • By A. LAWRENCE LOWELL of Harvard University. ; | •••*****♦ HE administration of a great city cannot be conducted !! < > efficiently and at the same time be kept in touch !» y t with public needs without a COMBINATION OF o V, o THE EXPERT AND THE REPRESENTATIVE o OF OUTSIDE OPINION, and the relation that ♦ *#*♦♦♦**<* ought to exist between these two is plain. THE CURRENT MANAGEMENT AND THE INITIATIVE IN THE MAIN OUGHT TO LIE WITH THE EXPERT, BUT HE OUGHT TO WORK UNDER THE CONBTANT OVERSIGHT AND CONTROL OF NONPROFESSIONAL MEN. Such a relation has grown up spontaneously in our great commercial And educational bodies, in the PRESIDENT AND DIRECTORS of a railroad or a bank, in the PRESIDENT AND TRUSTEES of a university or college, for example, and it could be introduced into almost any form of city government, for it is not inconsistent either with the plan of boards of commissioners or with that of a mayor’s cabinet. In order to set up the proper relation between the expert and the nonprofessional representative of the public it is NOT NECESSARY TO PRESCRIBE THEIR DUTIES BY LAW, but to make the distinction must be based upon the ESSENTIAL DIFFERENCE IN THE FUNCTIONS TO BE PERFORMED. THE EXPERT IS EXPECTED TO MAKE HIS PUBLIC WORK HIS CAREER. HE SHOULD DEVOTE HIS WHOLE TIME TO IT, RECEIVE A LIBERAL SALARY AND BE PROTECTED FROM REMOVAL EXCEPT FOR -CAUSE. THE NONPROFESSIONAL IS NOT TO MANAGE HIS DEPARTMENT, BUT TO SEE THAT IT IS PROPERLY MANAGED. HE OUGHT NOT TO BE EXPECTED TO GIVE A GREAT DEAL OF TIME TO IT, OUGHT TO BE PAID NOTHING OR A MUCH LOWER SALARY THAN THE EXPERT AND OUGHT TO GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF HIS STEWARDSHIP BY COMING UP FOR REAPPOINTMENT OR ELECTION AT FIXED INTERVALS. Care For Orphans, but Prevent Jw The Killing of Parents. By BENJAMIN B. LINDSEY. Judge of the Children'* Court of Denver, Colo. CHERE is something more in this problem of the dependent children than merely caring for the children. There is the problem of stopping the NEEDLESS MANUFACTURE OF ORPHANS. IT 18 IMPORTANT TO CARE FOR ORPHANS, BUT IT IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT TO STOP THE KILLING OF THE PARENTS OF THESE ORPHANS. THE STATE IS RESPONSIBLE, IN A MEABURE, FOR THE CARE OF DEPENDENT CHILDREN, BUT THE STATE OUGHT TO FEEL ITS RESPONSIBILITY IN A LARGER MEASURE FOR THE PREVENTION OF NEEDLESS KILLINGS AND MAIMINGS IN OUR INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITIES. Take the children left each year by fathers killed in coal mines. At a conservative estimate there are of these 2,000 children. It is estimated that the period of dependency of these children is sixteen years. In a single generation there are at a conservative estimate FORTY THOUSAND CHILDREN THROWN UPON THE CARE OF THE STATE OR PRIVATE CHARITIES JUST AS A RESULT OF COAL MINING ACCIDENTS. Think of it. And this only in a single industry. But a third of such accidents could be prevented. If reasonable precautions—proper legislation—could avert a third of these killings, could prevent the creation of a third of these orphans and otherwise dependent children, then it is an AWFUL RESPONSIBILITY ASSUMED BY THE STATE WHEN IT PERMITS THIS SLAUGHTER TO GO ON. In every industry there is a fixed rate of accidental deaths. In some that rate COULD BE REDUCED. In others the consequences of the accidental death or injury COULD BE FORESEEN and made the subject of a proper compensation. INSTEAD OF A LAWSUIT THERE OUGHT TO *BE AN AUTOMATIC PROCESS BY WHICH THE WIDOW OF THE KILLED AND THE DEPENDENT CHILDREN WOULD SECURE THE COMPENSATION FOR THAT DEATH. THEN THE BURDEN OF THE CHILDREN WOULD NOT FALL ON THE STATI. IN FACT, THEY WOULD NOT BE DEPENDENT CHILDREN. Charity Is Poor Repayment For Wrongdoing In Business. By LESLIE WILLIS SPRAGUI, Social Reformer, of New York. IT is small repayment when one who has conducted his business so as to IMPOVERISH OTHERS gives to charity. It is , no return for having denuded the forests and robbed the earth of beauty to give a landscape to the institute. He who has made the city ugly with smoke and grime~from factory poorly repays by presenting the city wit h a park. THE TRUE ENDS OF LIFE ARE SERVED ONLY WHEN EACH INDIVIDUAL STRIVES TO THE UTMOST OF HIS POWER IN AND Through his vocation to make the city beautiful, the PEOPLE PROSPEROUS BEYOND THE NEED OF CHARITY, THE GOVERNMENT INCORRUPTIBLE, THE LIFE OF MANKIND TRUE AND WORTHY. Stage Is Worse Now Than : „ In Days of Paganism. By Archbishop JOHN M. FARLEY of New York. CHE stage is WORSE TODAY than it was in dayß of paganism. All about us men and women are SETTING EVIL EXAMPLES. Men hoary with age often inspire with evil the minds of the young. They go to the public places and to the theaters in shamelessness, and they bring with them youngsters who cannot escape corruption. WE SEE TODAY MEN AND WOMEN WHO OUGHT TO KNOW BETTER BRINGING THE YOUNG TO THESE ORGIES OF OBSCENITY.
