SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM WAS KILEY’S COESCIENCE BOTHERING HIM? The Grand Rapids Herald-Review | man (who is always around handy i when anyone in the “Rapids” wants arich brown roast handed out) has taken unto himself the task of trying to discredit the Pioneer among its readers, and place us an a level with Kiley’s own unsavory reputation. Recently Kiley wrote the sub- joined article; and we would ask him if he was thinking of himself when he penned it. Kiley bas seen fit to insinuate that anyone who opposed B. F. Wright at the general election is a “graiter,” etc. . The article which Kiey wrote, and to which reference is made above is given herewith: When you know a man who habit- ually uses the word “'grafter”—one who pretends to think all men are dishonest ard all women immoral, just stop and look him over. What business is he in? What language does be use? - What has he done for the com- ’ munity in which he lives? Just write to the country or state from whence he came; to the clerk of court and see what lawsuits he has hadjto the state penitentiary and see if he has served time and what for, and in nine cases out of ten you will find that he has abu.ed,divorced or killed his wife, been indicted for theft, arson, highway robbery, mur- der or some other crime; or been convicted of some other crime, or is living in open defiance of law— in a word the “grafter shouters” are nine out of ten of them criminals whose past records if exposed now would drive them from the country. CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] \ , . As a stimulus, failure is the only real success. Platonic love is a good deal like the gun we didn’t know was loaded. Some give according to their means; some according to their meanness. s The things we oughtn’t to do ~~ seem to be the only ones that make life worth living. An impossible thing for any man to do is to tell the truth about how many cigars he smokes a day. And then there is many a man who helps himself to stay poor by his determination to maintain his reputation as a good fellow. 3 WATTERSON'S SON KILLED Falls From Nineteenth Floor of New York Building. New York, Nov. 1,—Harvey M. Watterson, a lawyer and younger son of Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, plunged to his death from the nineteenth floor of his office building at 37 Wall street. His body shot downward for 110 feet and landed on the roof of a ten-story bullding adjoining. Almost every bone was broken and the head crushed and death was practically instantane- ous. ‘While there were no eyewitnesses to the tragedy evidently it was accl- dental. Mr. Watterson's hat and overcoat were on his closed desk. Presumably he had attempted to lower the window and, either stumbling over the radiator which was in front of the low sill or losing his footing in some manner unknown, pitched for- ward and down to death on the roof below. Mr. Watterson was thirty years old and married. He was junior member of the law firm of Wing, Russell & ‘Watterson. I Captured After Long Search. I Chicago, Nov. 1.—After a search covering not only the United States, but islands of the Caribbean sea, Rob- ert Curry, alias Robert Grant, was ar- rested in this city. Curry was appre- hended on a fugitive warrant sworn out at San Francisco, where, it is al- leged, he is charged with forgeries aggregating $10,000. The gapture oc- curred in the postoffice, where, it is sald, Curry was accustomed to go to receive letters from his sweetheart in California. Destroys Savings, Then Suicides. Helena, Mont., Nov. 1;—Albert Rer- ger, a former Alaska miner, just be- fore committing sulcide at Canyon Ferry threw $2,000 in postoffice money orders payable to himself in the stove, declaring that the money was in the hands of the government and no one would quarrel over it after he was dead. 7 Given Five Years 'n Prison. Milwaukee,” Nov. 1}—Harvey T. | Wells, a former cashier of a Kenosha (Wis.) bank, came before Judge ‘ ¥ Quarles in the Unitéd States district g court, pleaded guilty to embezzlement of funds from the bank and was sen- tenced to five years at the Fort Leavenworth (Kan.) federal prison. DEFICIT LARGEST IN TS HISTORY Postoffice I)epartmenit Short Nearly $17,000,000. PLAN TO MAKE IT PAY Postmaster General Meyer Recom. mends a Special Local Parcel Post, Confined to Rural Routes, and As. serts Such a Scheme, If Adopted, Would Put the Department on a Paying Basis., Washington, Nov. 1L.\—Postmaster General Meyer announces that the postal deficit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1908, amounted to $16,910, 279. The receipts were $191,478,663 (being $7,893,657 greater than the previous year) and the expenditures $208,351,856. The deficit is the largest in the his- tory of the postoffice department. An' analysis of the figures shows that $9,7 891,321 represents the advance in the rate of compensation authorized by congress for employes of the railway mail service, rural delivery service, city delivery service and assistant postmasters and clerks in postoffices. The normal increase in the revenue for several years was about 9 per cent and in 1908 4.29 per cent, the falling off in the rate of growth be- ing due to the financial depression. The postmaster general said that 1 his annual report he would call the attention of congress to the fact that he is “firmly convinced that the estab- lishment of a special local parcel post, confined to rural routes, would tend to wipe out the postal deficit and would finally make the rural delivery sclf-yustaining, besides being of con- venience to the farmer and a boon to the retail country merchant.” A There are now in operation more than 39,000 rural routes, he said, serving a population of about 18,000, 000 people, and should an average o fifty-five pounds of merchandise be carried by the rural carriers on each trip throughout the year it is esti- mated that $15,000,000 would be rea- lized. The rate would be 5 cents for the first pound and 2 cents for each additional pound up to eleven pounds, the maximum weight of a package. With the exception of a small per- centage paid to the postmasters of the fourth class for increased cancella- tion, he said, all revenues from this parcel post would be clear gain, as there would be no railroad transporta- tion whatever, the service being con- fined to packages mailed by bona fide merchants and patrons of the rural routes. NO CURRENCY LEGISLATION But Banking Laws May Be Amended at Coming Session. ‘Washington, Nov. 1;—Congressman John W. Weeks of Boston, chairman of the sub-committee on banking laws of the congressional joint currency commission, talked with the presi- dent. He expressed the opinion when leaving the White House that there would be no currency legislation passed at the coming session of con- gress, but said it was not unlikely that a bill changing the banking laws would be introduced. He believed certain changes in'the national bank- Ing act, based on recommendations of the comptroller of the currency and experienced bankers, would be em- bodied in the measure. He thought the bill might not be passed at this session, but its introduction would afford time for full consideration and clear the way for its passage at the next session. WOMAN KILLS MANY WOLVES Young Homesteader Knocks Down Fourteen of the Beasts. ‘Williston, N. D., Nov. 1. .—Miss Bu- genia Halstead of McKenzie county shot and killed fourteen wolves near her homestead shack. The animals had been attracted to the vicinity by a fine lot of chickens, but Miss Hal- stead picked off the wolves one by one. She missed two shots in her campaign of extermination. She had never seen a wolf before her coming to North Dakota, but she quickly be- came acquainted and manifests a marked ability to hold her own in any emergency. Follows Child to Grave. Freeport, IlL, Nov. 1 —After spend- ing the night in the forest praying forgiveness for some great unpardon- able sin he claimed to have committed John Busker, a well known local law- yer, cut his throat from ear to ear, upon being discovered by his brother and son. Busker's only daughter, Anna, aged eighteen, died ten days ago and since then he has been de- spondent and apparently becoming in- sane. He regarded the girl’s death as a punishment to him. Magness Placed on Trial. Philadelphia, Nov. 1 .—Charged Wwith desertion from the United States navy Charles J. Magness, husband of ‘Ada Gorman, daughter of the late United States Senator ‘Gorman of | Maryland, was placed on trial before a courtmartial tribunal at the Phila- delphia navyyard. Following the al- leged desertion Magness married Miss Gorman. He was arrested, however, at the instance of the government and brought back to this city. 3 Receivers for Traction Company.

NO ONE SEZRICUSLY INJURED Thres Cars of Fast Train Hurled From the Track. cars in the easthound Twentieth Cen- tury limited, the New York Central’s fastest tratn, were thrown from -the rails at Blossom' Road$ Crossing, just east of the city, but strangely enough not one of the many pzssengers-that were hurled from their berths was badly injured. A broken rail is sald to have caused the accident. The train had made ite vBual two-minute stop at Rochester and In gathering momentum for its run eastward it had attained a-speed estimated to have been about twenty- five miles an hour when the break came. The train consisted of six Pullman coaches and the three:that were: hurled from the tracks and turned on their sides constituted ‘the last half of the train. The third car in the train was not ditched, although its trucks were broken. It was the next three in line that suffered the brunt of the shock. All the sleeping passengers were thrown from their berths, but no one was scriously injured. Men and women scrambled through windows and doors with no thought of clothing other than that which they wore when they turned in for the night. Many of the passengers com- 1lained of bad bruises and jolts. GREAT BRITAIN PLANS MANY NEW WARSHIPS Must Maintain Two-Power Stand- ard of Naval Strength, London, Nov. 1'—Premier Asquith set forth in the house of commons what was meant by the two-power standard of naval strength of Great Britain and his announcement brought out hearty cheers from all sides. Up to the present time Mr. Asquith has been non-committal concerning a radical definition of this standard, which the government is pledged to The premier informed Arthur Lee, Conservative member of the house, that the government accepted the two-power standard as meaning a pre- ponderance of 10 per cent over the combined strength in capital ships of the two next strongest naval powers. This statement is taken to confirm the belief held in naval circles that at least six and perhaps seven addi tional warships of the Dreadnought type will be provided for in the next naval estimates. Fly to Pole in Balloon. Zurich, Nov. 13.—The Zeppelin Air- ship company, headed by Count Zep- pelin, has announced its intention of seeking the North pole by means ot a dirigible balloon.
