J terns Gathered in From Far and Near

BEFORE DAWN.

"Remember the Maine." From the Boston Traveler. Twelve years ago next Tuesday the Maine was sunk in Havana harbor, by an explosion. The war that followed has long passed Ined into history. The shattered hull of the battleship still lies where it sank, an impediment to navigation and a disgraceful monument to a forgetful nation. It is the duty of this nation to raise the maine and give decent burial to the bones of the brave sailors who went down with their ship. The cost will not be tremendous; if it were, that would be no reason why such a manifest duty should go unperformed. The American people today unite in demanding of congress in the language of the tocsin which called the young men to war a dozen years ago, that it "remember the Maine!"

Nuisance of Waste Paper. From the Providence Journal. The waste paper nuisance on streets in the business center should be abolished. There is no reason whatever for permitting sidewalks and pavements to be used as dumping grounds. The practice Is costing the city large amounts of money; the increase since 1007 is about $t-,(MH. The careless and slovenly practices of individuals thus are directly accountable for the additional burden placed upon taxpayers. In foreign cities the person who throws a scrap of paper on the street is arrested and prosecuted.

Up Against the Real Thing. From the Indianapolis News. After Mr. Wade II. Ellis has put in a few of his best licks unifying the Ohio republicans doubtless trust-busting will appear to be a very simple task to him.

Cost of Living Increasing. From the St. Paul Dispatch. The price of diamonds has been increased 10 per cent. It appears impossible for the poor man to get in on the ground floor anywhere.

Optimist Defined. From the Syracuse Post-Standard. An optimist is a fellow who remarks when the slush is three inches deep on the walks, that it's fine weather overhead.

Boycott It, Ladies! From the St. Joseph Gazette. Now that the price of chewing gum is going up, it Is sincerely hoped that our boycotting friends will turn their attention in that direction.

Rest. From the Boston Transcript. John Wesley Gaines of Tennessee tells a New York reporter that he never knew what rest was until he left Congress. Neither did Congress.

Joy in the Jungle. From he' Newark News. The few lions and things that are left in Africa will joyously hail the announcement that 'the Smithsonian African Expedition" has concluded its labors.

7 WINKLES

(By Philander Johnson) Consolation. "That candidate insists that he was defeated by the trusts." "Yes," answered Senator Sorghum, "whenever a man gets the worst of it he likes to console himself with the idea that he had a mighty big antagonist."

Excitement. "People do not iiy as much attention to studied oratory- as they used to," said one statesman. "No," replied the other, "in modern legislation studied oratory is frequently less exciting than the roll call."

Comparison. No more we laugh at rural woes Our customed jibes are wholly lost.

It Is not unnatural that some of you will think that things are looking pretty black and without hope. You have eeen pass before your eyes the story of the Sugar Trust scandals. There is a nasty stench arising in the New York legislature. Out in San Francisco, Heney has been battling with some monsters of outward respectability. You have seen a tariff bill go through, against the protests of a few honest men, which, contained schedules which Mr. Taft mildly said "were indefensible." You who have voted the Republican ticket for over a generation have seen it perverted by Cannon and Aldrich from the principles of its conscience-led founders. And you who are Democrats have seen the reactionaries of your party ready to assist the agents of special privilege in that same great fight over the tariff.

Every way you turn you will find this sort of thing, unpleasant to contemplate. Even in our own midst we have had some dealings with the men of special privilege. There was a franchise yes, and another one. There has been a stir in the community over some conditions at the County Infirmary. Things which you, and things which we do not think the best possible conditions though there is not a suspicion of graft in it, are being told which do not look well when put on paper. And so it goes

And one of you will say, 'it's just the newspapers." Another "Why don't they tell us something pleasant." "Oh, things are not so bad!" "Things are worse than they ever were before!" And so let's talk it over. Conditions are undeniably bad, but they were far worse before anything was said about them. If a defaulter covers up his stealings on the books for years and years, as Warrinier did, his exposure is the only thing that will stop the theft. $100,000,000 worth of your coal land in Alaska might be at this moment in the clutches of a great syndicate and we would have been spared the national humiliation of an investigation of the conduct of a cabinet officer. We might at this moment be declaring that the Aldrich-Cannon Tariff is the best tariff that the Republican party has ever passed and marshal the glittering figures advanced by Jim Watson, who lobbied for it. If you believed it, what would it aid toward getting a better tariff the next time? What would it aid toward getting an early revision of that tariff along the lines which are not a farce?

We might tell you that conditions are such out at the county infirmary that you ought to live riotously and spend your dying days there. But we believe that the recommendations for changes, made by the committee of investigation, are sufficient proof that things might be improved. And we think those conditions would not have been changed in any other way, than by the very way in which the recommendations came about. Suppose we were to tell you that you have lost two very good chances to make terms with the Richmond City Water Works and the Richmond Natural Gas Company. You might never know the difference, but the years would show.

It is therefore, no doubt, very simple minded and childish to believe, as we do, that things are getting better, and that the surest proof of it is that there is such a spirit of interest among the people. We should feel that things were pretty badly off if there were not such exposures and investigations going on. The whited sepulchre and metallic coffin have never been as effective as peroxide of hydrogen and bi-chlorlde in the treatment of corruption. In other words, we believe that while the dirt is being dug out of places it is getting cleaner.

REMEMBER CHERRY. There is a bill before Congress that ought to pass. Do you remember Cherry? Dead: 354.

REMEMBER CHERRY.

A bill to create a Bureau of Mines, whose duty shall be "to foster, promote, and develop the mining industries of the United States especially in relation to the safety of miners," has passed the House and is now before the Senate. That bill ought to pass. It ought to pass from a humanitarian point of view. In round numbers 25,000 coal miners have been killed and 50,000 men crippled in the last fourteen years. That is about eq.ual to the number of men in our standing army. We would have heard something about it before this, and something would have been done, if those men had been killed in any other way than by the making of their daily bread. You know the fight that Roosevelt had to make in order to get the Employer's Liability Act through the gauntlet of the reactionaries of both parties. This is the same kind of bill. And now both of the great national parties have given their sanction to this measure by the introduction of planks in both their platforms in 190S. The bill that has languished and been neglected has passed in the House. It ought not to stop there. 2,450 men, yes men, were killed in the mines last year. Cherry: Dead: 354.

When this bill is passed for it will be passed sometime in response to an aroused people that has stood back of Roosevelt and the men now called Insurgents in their fight for common every day men and not for privilege. When this bill is passed, there will have to be a care taken. In the hands of a man with a heart this bill will be a means of saving many human lives. With the right man at the head of this bureau our mines will not kill 22,716 men as they did in the last thirteen years. But this bureau can be made a farce. This Bureau of Mines will be under the management of the Department of the Interior. R. A. Chilles Ballinger is at the head of that department. In view of the fact that he lias shown some very decided sympathies with the largest mining syndicates in this country, how much can be expected of him in the protection of the every day average citizen? It will be of benefit to all of us to have investigations of coal and tell us how much carrido there is in it but if these investigations are made for the "development" of mines only; if the point of the bill is lost, "especially in relation to the safety of miners" then

DISCHARGED VIOLINIST SHOOTS ORCHESTRA LEADER. WHO WRESTS GUN FROM ASSAILANT AND SLAYS HIM.

Indianapolis. Feb . 17. Fatally

wounded by two bullets from the pistol of Adolph H. Cassau, second violinist at the Empire theater, Louis Ostendorf, 217i North Illinois street, manager of the orchestra and well known as a musician, overpowered his assailant and, wresting the revolver from his hand, fired two bullets through

Cassau's bead, killing him instantly, at;

the rear entrance of the theater at 7:5-" last night. Ostendorf died at the Deaconness Hospital one hour later. The cause of the chootlng is said to

have been personal, Ostendorf having

discharged the violinist two days ago. The audience at the empire was kept in ignorance of the double tragedy until after the performance was completed. Gives Up Smoking Weapon. The first intimation that anything

was wrong was when Carl Smart, an employe of the theater, heard a shot fired in the alley and gave the alarm. A moment later Ostendorf burst into the rear entrance to the theater, stumbled up to Stage Manager Harry Capi-

to, and handing him a smoking revolver, cried: "For God's sake, Harry, get a doctor for me quick! He Bhot me twice in the stomach and I took the gun away from him and shot him." Ostendorf then fell in a heap on the floor and was lifted to a box of scenery, where he lay suffering until the ambulance came. Rushing out of the back door of the theater to the alley, Capito and other employes of the place, found the body of Cassau lying about ten feet from the door. He was dead when found, having two bullet holes in his head, both of which took effect in his right temple. Ostendorf was rushed to the Deaconness hospital and died just as the doctors were in readiness to operate on him. He made no statement whatever after crying for help as he stumbled into the theater after the shooting. According to his physician, Ostendorf left his office in the Pythian Building just about ten minutes before the shooting took place. Cassau, it is said, had been drinking for several weeks and had disagreed with Ostendorf about some music Tuesday afternoon. It is thought he waited for Ostendorf at the rear entrance with the express intention of quarreling with him.
