Can the steeple jack who stole 654 pounds of copper from n church steeple be convicted of highway robbery ? Smuggling is one of those amusements which ought to be left to the ridiculously rich who do not mind expense. Do we sufficiently appreciate those aviators who are falling from perilous heights that the rest of us may learn to fly? Thus far. we believe, tho life lnsu'ranee companies are inclined to regard aviation as one of the more or 'less hazardous occupations. In learning how to manage a flying machine the principal drawback is 'that you can't rest tho machine on anything solid while you are doing It. In addition to the hot water geysers in Yellowstone park an ice cold geyser has been discovered. The Yellowstone has nearly all the modern Improvements. If a man Is willing to mortgage his house and lot to buy nn automobile he shouldn't kick if he has to mortgage his furniture In order to pay his repair bills. One consoling thought during the hot weather is that we are all free and untrammeled American citizens and we will have a bunch of men coming around telling us, about It until some lime in November.

It departed from Savannah, which winks and nods now wilc New York takes the money and the glory. Tho air of Savannah Is h(yivy with Ianguoros perfume. The air of New York 1s often heavy with perfume, too. which Is not languorous, but of a sort to keep people awake. New York suspended business while a boy sailed a dirigible balloon over City Hall park. Elsewhere throughout the country the dirigible is only a country fair sideshow nowadays. Some real good use for the flashing electric Btgro has been discovered at last in New York. A squad of policemen retcued ten persons from death In a burning tenement by using the bulb sockets as a ladder. Otherwise these contrivances aro chiefly betiecial to tho oculists and optlcluis.

COLLAPSES SPEAKER'S MIND CLOUDS NEAR THE CLOSE OF KANSAS ADDRESS. REVIVES, THANKS AUDITORS Defends Tariff, Attacks Press and Takes Fling at "Insurgents" Heat Overcomes "Uncle Joe," But Recovers and Makes Second Address. Wlnflold. Kan. Speaker Josoph G. Cannon collapsed Saturday afternoon ! while delivering a speech which be bad prepared, attacking the Insurgents In congress before the Wlnfleld Chautauqua. Prompt aid prevented him from fainting, but he was unablo to continue his address, and. sneaking with the greatest dilllculty. be begged the audience to excuse him. The intense heat affected him. and brought on the sudden sinking spell. Ico water and fresh air partially revived him. and he haltingly thanked the audience for listening to bim for j so great a length of time. Then he was led away by his friends and taken to the home of J. T. Lafferty. where he was a guest , Accompanied by Congressman PhilHp Campbell, and declaring he was "not a bit sick." Mr. Cannon departed i later for Arkansas City, where Satur- I day evening he delivered a brief j speech. The speaker had recovered j from his collapse and insisted upon j making the trip. , Dr. L. A. Tarabus pronounced Mr. j Cannon's heart action good and said he probably would suffer no further ill effects. Speaker Cannon's physicians urged him to abandon his Kansas speaking tour. The speaker, however. Is determined to continue it as he feels that the collapse was due only to the excessively warm weather. Mr. Cannon said that after speaking at Emporia he would fill two other ! dates as scheduled, after which tho j coadition of the weather and his health would determine his future acj tions. j "Discontent of- a people." said Speaker Cannon, in his address here. ! "is not measured by complaints In the , press. It is measured in a more slgnlfirent manner and makes more Inj delible Impression than that of a pen- ' ny paper bought, perused, thrown away and forgotten. " 'The pocket nerve is one of the most sensitive nerves In our civilization, and that nerve always Is the first affected by any general discontent or want of confidence. " "The pocket nerve' was never in better condition than it is today, and that is the real evidence of confidence on the part of the American people in the economic policies of the gov- j eminent. Speaker Cannon declared the opponents of protection have misrepresented the tnriff. lied about Its schedules and resorted to every conceivable trick to keep the tariff In politics. "The demagogue." said he, "may pick out an Item here and there and say that duties are too high, but the law Is to be tested by all Its provisions and not by an Isolated Item here and there." Mr. Cannon denounced the Insurgents in congress and paid his respects to Senator Brlstow, declaring the latter was seeking notoriety. Somewhat In the way of a reply to an address made by Senator Ilrlstow in Wlnfleld a woek ago. Speaker Cannon disputed the statements made by tho Kansan emphatically. Mr. Bristow had made sensational charges concerning the rubber schedule of the tariff bill. WOMAN SLAYS GAME WARDEN Confesses She Killed John O'Connor Because He Tried to Break Up Her Home. Springfield. Ill Mrs. Frank Stout confessed that she had fired the shot which resulted In the death of Deputy State Warden Game John O'Connor. Mrs. Stout Is In Jail here and will be held to await the action of the grand Jury without bond. The woman appeared before the coroner's Jury Sunday at her own request O'Connor was shot Friday night at his home by some one who fired through an open door. In an antemortem statement he declared that Frank Stout had threatened to kill him, but Stout, when arrested, proved an alibi. Later Mrs. Stout was arrested and. in her confesslnn. declared O'Connor had annoyed her and "had tried to break up her home." The woman admitted whllo on the witness stand that she telephoned O'Connor a few days before his death and asked him if he intended to quit coming to her home. This admission Is taken by authorities to mean that the woman was in love with O'Connor and that Jealousy may have prompted her In her act Baseball Magnate Expires. Rockford. III. James P.
