MAN WITHOUT A PAIN.
Hurrah for the man without a pain!
If be Is not the salt of the earth, then
the earth must surely remain unsalt
d. He feels no Inward burning ne
cessity of breaking Into newspapers
with constant declarations as to the
badness of men and things. He Is not
full of suppressed resolutions as to the
wickedness of everybody else, says the
Chicago Inter-Ocean. He has no spe
cial yearning to ascend Chautauqua
platforms and feed full the listening
throngs with all the horrors of exist
ence. In private life he Is the cltl
fa who looks after bis family, who
Is regarded as a good neighbor and
who gulns and deserves the respect of
all those who know him. In the busi
ness world he Is the man who does his
work without a lot of noise and wasted
motion and thereby earns the grati
tude of his associates or employers. In
puLllc life he Is the man who sees
that the business of government gets
attended to and leaves to louder states
men the honors of big headlines and
Chautauqua lectureships. After hear
ing or reading the studied and labori
ous complainings of the other variety,
the thought of him is like the murmur
of pleasant waters. It cools, refreshes
and strengthens the Jaded spirit. It
reminds one that everythlU3 Is far
from being lost, that the world's work
Is still being efficiently done, that the.
republic Is safe, and that the sun Is
still shining.
A Boston restaurant keeper kept a
green turtle on its back In his win
dow and was tried on a charge of cru
elty to animals. A Harvard university
professor testified that the turtle was
more nearly related to the birds than
the fishes, but the defense took the
ground that It was not an animal, but
a fish, and the Judge Instructed the
Jury to bring in a verdict of not
entity. Whatever Intellectual Boston
may bold as to the status of the rep
tiles, there Is no good reason why the
taws forbidding cruelty to animals
should not be broad enough to cover
more than warm-blooded animals.
An Oak Park professor is advocat

Tbe sick friend Is serving useful

excuse for the belated homefarer who

to his loving friends If by some mis
chance this convenient scapegoat
should suddenly recover.
That Pennsylvania farmer who took
a club and proceeded to batter up an
automobile whose driver refused to

ably on the road or who ignore the
lights of pedestrians.

PRESIDENT TAFT
FOR LOVVERTARIFF
Protection Against Canada is
Unnecessary.
TAFT SPEAKS ON THE TARIFF.
Adresses Au Stance at Provldence.Say
Ing That Before an Industry He
celvee Proteoion Now it Must
Demonstrate Neeo of It.
Providence, R. I. President Taft
told an audience In Providence with
regard to the tariff and reciprocity
that "the time for the Chinese wall
is gone."
The President followed his trend
of thought first expressed at Spring
field, 111., In January last, when he
sounded a retreat from the Payne
Aldrlch tariff, but he went further
this time and in plainer terms.
"We must recognize," said the
President, "that the time for the
Chinese wall Is gone. Before an In
dustry receives protection now It
must demonstrate the need of that
protection and It must not ask for
more protection than it needB."
Going from his views upon tariff
generally, he considered the need of
a tariff with regard to Canada. He
cited the Industries In the East and
the farms of the West and con
cluded: "I do not think any industry
needs protection against Canadb. My
heart Is full of reciprocity and I
wanted to talk."

In Fall River the President visited

Fall River maintains for the training
of Its future workmen, motored
about the city and through tbe
French and Portuguese sections,
where he was cheered wildly, and
ended with a little chat to 100,000
people out of doors.
Though the Mayflower had enter
ed Narratansett Bay an hour and a
half late, the President clung to his
schedule In Fall River. He spent
considerable time and seemed much
Interested In the textile exhibition.
Every product of the Massachusetts
mills was displayed at every stage of
manufacture. The models posed at
the President passed, but exhibited
their ultimate femininity In tremb

FEDERAL AID IN ROAD BUILDING
8na!or Simmon of North Caro

Before Senate.
Washington. In a eulogy of the
farmer and the Importance of agri
culture to the country Senator Sim
mons (Dem., N. C), In the Senate,
made an argument in favor of gov
ernment aid for the Improvement of
rural highways. In part, be said:
"By far the most pressing need of
the farmer and the most pressing
need of the country Is good roads and
Improved highways. We have the
finest railways In the world and the
poorest highways. The government
has helped to build these railroads.
Why should It not help to build the
equally Important system or short
distance transportation the coun
try highways over which the prod
ucts of the farm must be hauled be
fore they reach these national high
ways? "Does not the fact that transpor
tation from the farm to the station Is
30 times higher than from the sta
tion to the point of ultimate distri
bution appeal for remedy?
"There can be no doubt about the
constitutional power of the govern
ment to aid In the construction and
maintenance of our public roads.
"Of the 2.150,000 miles of dirt
roads In this country the government
Is today using over 1.000.000 miles
for star routes and rural delivery
rvlee. It has established tnem Into
post roads and It Is actually using
them every day In the year, except
Sundays and holidays, to carry the
malls."

TO PREVENT FALSE CLAIMS.
Result of Discussion In Johnson
Cas Menu acturere of Legiti

Approva the Mae.ege.
Washington. Although absent
from the city, President Taft direct
ed to be sent to Congress a special
message, in which he urged that at
this session the Pure Food and Drug
Law be so amended as to strengthen
that act In vital points of weakness
recently pointed out by decisions of
the United States Supreme Court in
tbe esse of O. A. Johnson. Tbe Su
premo Court held In effect that If a
manufacturer of a patent medicine
states the true contents of bis medi
cine, he has complied-with the law,
and that he Is at liberty to claim
curative properties to what degree
he cares.
A bill was Introduced In the House
by Representative Sherley, of Ken
tucky, to carry out the recommenda
tions of Mr. Taft's message, and the
Senate Is likewise favorable to
amending the law.
Manufacturers of legitimate prop
rietary medicines the country over
are strongly In favor of such legisla
tion. Pu pose of the law.
The President's message follows:
"To the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives: "Your attention Is respectfully
called to the necessity of passing at
this session an amendment to the
Food and Drugs Act of Juno 30,
1906, which will supplement exist
ing law and prevent the shipment In
Interstate and foreign commerce and
the manufacture and sale wi'hln the
territories anu the District of Co
lumbia of worthless nostrums label
ed with misstatements of fact as to
their physiological action misstate
ments false and misleading even In
the knowledge of those who make
them.
"On June 30, 1906. after an agita
tion of 20 years, the Food and Drugs
Act, passed by the Fifty-ninth Con
gress, received the approval of the
President and became law. Vhe pur
pose of the measure was twofold
first, to prevent the adulteration of
foods and drugs within the Jurisdic
tion of the federal government, and
erond. to prevent any false labeling
of foods and drugs that will deceive
the people Into the belief that they
are securing other than that for
which they ask and which they have
the right to get.
Law Vlgorou y En'oroed.
"The law was received with gen
eral satisfaction and has been vigor
ously enforced. More than 2,000
cases have been prepared for crimi
nal prosecution against the shippers of
adulterated or mlsbranded foods and
drugs, and seizures have been made
of more than TOO shipments of such
articles. More than two-thirds of
these cases nave been begun since
March 4, 1909. Of the criminal
cases more than 800 have terminated
favorably to the government, and of
the shipments seized more than 450
have been condemned and either re
labeled or destroyed. In every case:
In which the food seized was dele
terious to henlth It was destroyed.
A large number of cases are now
pending.

statute does not by Its terms extend

them, may ship In Interstate com

substances possessing any slight

"An evil which menaces the gen
eral health of the people strikes at
the life of the nation. In my opin
ion the sale of dangerously adulter
ated drugs or the sale of drugs un
der knowingly false claims as to
their effect In disease constitutes
such an evil and warrants me In
calling the matter to the attention of
the Congress.
"Fraudulent misrepresentations of
the curative value of nostrums not
only operate to defraud purchasers,
hut are a distinct menace to the
public health. There are none so
credulous a sufferers from disease.
The need Is urgent for legislation
which will prevent the raising of
false hopes of speedy cures of seri
ous ailments by misstatements, of
fact as to worthless mixtures on
which the sick will rely whllo their
diseases progress unchecked. The
statute can be easily amended to In
clude the evil I have described. I
recommend that ' this be done at
once as a matter of emergency."

ods are to be amenable to punishment
hereafter, if a bill which Representa

Representative Boehne would also
make It a crime for any corporation
to display on Its factory walls plac
ards and signs "hinting" that em
ployes shall vote such and such a
ticket If they wish to retain their po
sitions. During the debate on the Free, List
Bill Representative Underwood, of
Alabama, startled the House by a
statement that the Steel Trust had at
tempted to dictate what stand he
should take on tariff revision. The
bill put woven wire on the free list,
and Just before the bill came to a
vote In the House Representative Un
derwood received notice by telegraph
that the Steel Trust had ordered the
work stopped on an Immense new
plant In the course of construction In
the Alabama representative's district.
It was declared that the action of
the corporation wns because of Mr.
Underwood's tariff views as a mem

House Committee on Ways and
Means. Representative Und'rwood
recognized this as a direct effort to
Influence legislation and flung a de

would not change his views. The
Boehne Hill Is believed to have
grown out of this Incident.
WHITECAPS PUNISHMENT
The Victim May Dla or Lose tha

Wooster, O. Either death or
blindness In both eyes Is facing Mi
chael Heilman, of Fredericksburg, as
a result of brutal treatment given
him Tuesday night by a band of 20
men and women disguised as white
caps. The authorities are awaiting
the outcome before making arrests.
Heilman was taken from his home,
stripped of his clothing, lashed with
a whip until his flesh was raw, and
then successive coating of a carbolic
acid solution, red pepper, hot tar and
feathers were applied to his bruised
flesh. The red pepier was also
thrown Into his eyes.
In this condition he was ridden on
a rail and finally turned loose with
orders to run. For ten miles he ran
as fast ashe could, screaming In
agony, and then fell unconscious near
this city, where he was picked up and
brought to a physician's office.
The mobbing was brought about
because of his alleged relations with
a Mis. Rebecca Volk, the mother of
seven children.
Heilman declared that he recog
nized several women In the mob and
has glvn the names of other mem
bers of the band to the authorities.

All the way from Newport to Prov

One boat made a considerable run

MORSE RENEWS HIS
FIGHT FOR LIBERTY
Banker Says He Was Not Con
victed as a Felon.
WRIT OrHABEAS CORPUS.
Aska For Re'eaio on Ground That
Atlanta Penltantlary Waa In
tented For Men Doom
el to Hard Labor.
Atlanta, Ga. That the reading of
a newspajier story led Charles W.
Morse to apply for a writ of habeas
corpus In an effort to secure his re
lease from the Federal prison here
developed Saturday In the hearing of
the application before Judge New
man, iu the United States District
Court. Morse is serving a 15-year
sentence for violation ot the nation
al banking luws.
Aiorae read that seven men con
victed and sentenced in Federal
courts would not be Bent to the At
lanta prison because they had not
Leu n sentenced to "hard labor" and
because the act authorizing tne con
struction of the prison here specific
ally slated that It was to be a prison
for felons. He determined that these
facts lilted his own cane, and when
Prtsldent Taft recently denied bis
application for a pardon he Imme
diately took steps to have filed a
petition lor a habeas corpus writ.
The petition demanded a hearing
ou two grounds. It contended that
as Morse was convicted on a mis
demeanor charge he cannot be In
carcerated lawfully in a prison erect
ed solely for felons. It Is contended
fui titer that the 15-year sentence is
excessive In that the law limits the
sentence to 10 years on any one
count on the offense charged against
Morse.
Morse originally was convicted on
68 counts, but the Court of Appeals
sustained only 14, all charging false
entry. As no mention was made of
the counts by the court In passing
sentence, Morse's attorney contends
It must be construed as being on one
count only, and therefore excessive.
The government fiet Morse's con
tention by recalling a case where a
man convicted In a Federal court on
a misdemeanor charge had been sent
to a State prlcon for felons. Morse's
attorneys replied that the rases were
not similar. Judge Newman will
hear further argument later.
SUICIDE A PRIVATE AFFAIR
Physician Urge That New
papara Stop Publishing
Stories.
Los Angeles, Cal. "Suicide la a
pilvate affair. There Is no more
Justification for the publication of
such accounts than there Is for pub
lishing other private niatterB." This
Is the assertion of a, committee of
the American Academy of Medicine,
which Investigated the questioning
of suicide, and making Its report
here requested the press of America
to refrain from further publication
of such affairs. "If, however," the
report declares, "the members of the
press are still skeptical as to the fact
that they are now accessories to
crime, we suggest that they assist In
the study of the conditions."" A num
ber of suggestions In this respect
are made, and it is also proposed that
If the papers Insist upon printing
scandals and news of suicides It be
limited to a separate sheet of dis
tinct yellow color, so "clean minds
may avoid the corruption. If such a
method Is desirable for athletic news,
why not extend Its use?
"Your committee finds that alien
ists are practically unanimous In the
opinion that the suggestive effect of
the reading of details of suicides Is
a powerful factor In the causation of
suicides among susceptible indi
viduals. "Newspaper men, while admitting
that the alienists are of the opinion
that such publications are a cause of
the crime, and even admitting that
there may be some truth In the opin
ion, reply that It Is the province of
the papers to publish the news. At
tempt! to prevent such publication
are Invasions of the liberty of the
press. They say that the people de
mand the news and It must be given
them.
"The present decadent condition
of the press of the United States Is
often mentioned. There Is hardly a
dally Issued which Is an honor to
this century. Much of the 'news'
Is such as might make be left un
published. The papers make domes
tic scandal and divorce popular, as
If considered highly respectable.
