There is no beating about the bush in the report of the Interstate Com- merce Commission as the result of its investigation of the financial opera- tionis of the New Haven system. It hits out straight from the evidence which it received and it hits hard at the directors of the New Haven road for the manner in which they conducted and expanded that system during the decade from 1903 to 1913. Not only is it found that they violated the law and were negligent in the di- rection of the finances, but the finding is of criminal negligence and glaring maladministration, and the twenty- two instances cited where the in- fluence of the few led the many are Characteristic of the policy of the old regime, In additien to golng 80 far as to encourage action for the recovery of A& part at least of the unwarrantably wasted sixty to ninety million dol- lars of other people’s money, the com- mission took advantage of the oppor- tufiity to score directors who are faithless to theéir stewardship, the so- called dummy directors. They are a menace to every board where they fail to act even as a balance for the rad- fedl ideas which may be advanced. It is not putting the case any too strong when the commission declares that! “directors should be made individually liadle to civil and criminal laws for the manner in which they discharge their trust. It should be just as grave a crime to plunder stockholders or the public through a raflroad corporation ae it is to personally rob an indivi- dual” Nothing In recent years has served to bring this more glaringly to the attention of the public than the rev- elations which have come from the in- vestigation of the New Haven system. In connection with this dereliction of duty the recommendation of suits for recovery are likely to have a whole- Eome effect. 2 An encouraging feature of the re- port is that it gives a clean bill of health to ‘the new managément and the expression of relief than honest and sificient management will restors it to its former standing. — - AN UNWISE PROPOSAL, An effort which appears to be well @irected s that which is being made by the national civil service reform, league in opposition to that pertion o2 the Moon Bill now befare congress ‘which, if passed; will require 2,400 as- sistant posttnasters, now on the classi- fled list, to undérgo competitive éx- aminations to retain their standing. can be no other interpreta- tion from such a move as this than another direct drive towards Bspoils, and as such it deserves the strongest kind of discouragement. It is & well known fact that it {s upon the aséjst- ant postmasters that reliance I8 placed for maintaining the efciency of the government system under the present method of changihg postmas- tars. Now to make it possible to re- move these important men for the purpose of increasing the yisld of the plum tree is ridiculous and the plan desérves defeat. Concerning this the wneld Republican properly says: it this would mean of demoral- zation and injustice the civil service league has set forth in a letter sent t8 members of the national house. Bven the wayfaring man can under- stand that this is a step which the demséerats cannet afford.to take. They are ‘In bad enough’ with the business world as things now stand, and there must be a limit beyond which polit- jeal folly will not go.” The record of this administration in behalf of civil service is already weak, but such a step would knock out amy friendship that was ever pro- fessed for civil service reform.

Agitation as to what to do vith the Philippines continues in con- @ and Representative Jones again és & ®olution through a new bill which declares that it is the in- tention of the States to recog- nize the independence of the islands 4s soon as a stable government can be established there. Such 18 and has been the purpose of this country from the time when it assumed its large task and burden, and such a declaration carries no greater assurance except what may be gained from a repetition. It is far preferable to the idea of fixing a definite date When the islands would be abandoned to_the results in the islands, but only such steps should be taken regarding any | had eves that were kindly toward Mat- | added changes in its government as are ju: tified by the existing conditions.

There was a hollow in the apple tree and Mattie's shy answers. Aunt 'Liza tie and hawk-lke toward Mattie's big, good-natured lover.

Though there was much criticlsm at the time of the appointment of Horace Harmon Lurton to the bench of the United States suprdine court, because of his age at that time, the service which he has rendered as a jurist hag shown the wisdom of the act. His death causes a distinct loss to the highest tribunal in the land, robbing it as it does of one who had made a particular study of the Sher- law and who was a specialist in its interpretation. His five years’ service have been marked by the skill- ful rendition of eminent Service. This affords President Wilson his firat ‘opportunity for appointment to the supreme bench and Justice Lur- ton’s health has made it a matter to be anticipated. What the plan of the president is has pot been disclosed| There has been and there will con- tinue to be much speculation as to the one to bé named, but it must be rec- ognized that the ex-president, who did so much to aid the court, by way of his appointments, could render there- in a most valuablegservice. MOTOR TRUCKS. When it comes to winning tts place in the business world there is no doubt but what the motor truck has done it. The progress which has been made in the manufacture of automobiles has inciuded the problem of the motor truck and while it has not succeeded in vding out the horse, it has made a place for itselt which cannot be dis- puted. ' Its serviceability, coupled with its capacity for transportation and the fact that its endurance is a mat- ter of mechanical operation, all fur- nish reason for the steady increase whiph is being made in this method of handling commodities. It makes no difference whether it is a long or a short haul, a big or a little load, ten hours or__twenty-four during which work is required, e the right the reatriuvg:ns which must go with animal po Every sedtion of the country is ap- preciating the benefits of the motor truck. Not only is Pportation problems, but it is_ creating much new business through its avail- ability for meny uses. Thus it is ‘not surprising when the secretary of the State of New York reports that the motor trucks in that state have in- creased from 9,806 in 1912 to 13,807 during the first three months of this vear. There is nothing to be under- stood from this except that the motor truck has proved its worth and has come to stay. EDITORIAL NOTES. It isn't seasonable to complain of the first indication of summer, Probably Great Britain would like to sign a peace treaty with Ulster. If you are going on a vacation do your shopbing early and do it at home. Nothing to say.” That doesn't mark 2 very brisk opening for the progres- sive campaign, It will be impossible for the rest- léss to remain quiet after what the secretary of state has to say. There will be a good many small boys in Salem who will hear with glee that the shingle has been tabooed. The praises of Canada were well | sung, but figures show that experi- ences and praises are not synonymous, Though the plucking board is under fire it has the advantage of knowing upon what grounds it is being judged.

The progressive democrats are go- ing to fesl the puise of the regulars, with som§ intéresting questions, in order to be sure they are sure of prop- er sympathy. Probably one of the strongest rea- sons that New London holds first po- mition in the league standing so long is that Norwich is not one of the con- testing teams. Some action has resulted in the Freeport murder case but there are Bome very important links in the evi- dence to be supplied before any con- Viction can be secured.

They're all good- natured and shiftles: They haven't got any ginger in ‘em. Mlale could not deny a word of Aunt 'Liza’'s arraignment. It did not not make her love Jim any less, and if he had proposed carrying her off to be married on horseback, or with an automobile or airship, she would have eagerly accepted. “But that would call for the very sort of ginger Aunt 'Liza says Jim hasn’t got,” was Mattie's disheartening reflection. “You aren't angry, Jim, because 1 told vou why she wants me to give you up?’ Mattie pleaded as he turned to go. “I'm not really giving you up, | you know, I could never do that. We | will Mave to waft, that's all.” FAMOUS TRIALS TRIAL OF ADOLPH LUETGERT. On the night of May 1, 1897, there disappeared from her home, at Her- mitage avenue and Diversey boue- vard, Chicago, Mrs. Adolph Luetgert, the wife of a sausage manufacturer of that city. It was one of those mysterious cases which has baffled the most expert police and detectives in its solution. The husband was ar- rested for the murder. It was a lond and difficult effort on his part to save himself from execution, for many things seemed to point to his gui't. Eieven jurymen wanted to hang h'm for the crime after hearing all tae evidence, but the verdict finally de- cided upon was imprisonment for life. The task that was set for the pros- ecution was not an easy one. Mrs. Luetgeart's body, it was established almost beyond question, had been al- most entirely consumed in dissolved potash in one of the coloring vats of her husband’s sausage factory. In reducing the body of his vicim the murderer had overlooked four vitally incriminating details; two gold rings worn by his wife, the com- plete removal of the fragments of the body, a bit of pecullarily shaped porcelain tooth, and failure to notify the police of the woman's disappear- ance. The rings were identified as the property of the wife, the family den- tist identified the tooth, expert osteol- ogists - were able to place the bones that were discovered, but of course Wwith no conclusive proof that they were those of the murdered woman. Luetgert and his wife had not lived' \happily together. She was his second | ife and she had been employed in, the family when the fitst wife was living. It was claimed that he was {tired of her and desired a younger and .more attractive woman. When it came to the trial of the husband the taek set for State's At- | torney Deneen was a most difficult one. The body of the victim had been | practically consumed, and yet it was | absolutely necessary not only to prove that she was dead, but that she had | met her death at the hands of her| husband, as. charged in the indict- ment. The first trial resulted in a 31is- agreement. During its progress Die- drich Bicknese, a brother of Mrs. Luetgert, testified that he had search- | ed for days for a clew as to his sis- i ter's whereabouts, but had found none. _One week after the commis- sion the crime he notified the po- lice and they summoned Luetgert and questioned ‘him. “She disappeared,” the sausagemaker replied, “and I ex- pected her to return and had wished to avoid the disgrace that must attend | the disclosure of the facts.” It was Frank Bialk who gave the rmost damaging testimony as to how he made several trips at the request of the prisoner to a drug store on tie night of May 1. and each time up’n his return Luetgert would take the | package he brought, and would barri- cade the door to the main factory and busy himself in thé engine room It was shown at the trial that the yaccused had planned most cunningly. | Almost three months before the mur- jder he had purchased about 32§ | pounide of ¢rude potash from a whole- | sale druggist. Late in April, under the prisoner's direction, two Poles broke the potash into small fragments and later in the same day had as- sisted in placing the broken potash in the middle vat. That night the steam was turned on and the potash com- pletely dissolved. i The accused man was not permit- | ted to testify in his own behalf at the first trial, but during the second bat- | tle he was enabled to relate the story | of his life. He vigorously denied the | guilt and on several occasions actually | wept. He was stolid and by many { conceded to be endowed with wonder- | ful mental and physical energy. The conviction of Luetgert did net establish beyond contention in the public mind the guilt of the defendeut. In the light of the conviction, how- ever, and the finding of the court, the! accepted version of Mrs. Luetgert's murder must be taken as the true his- tory of a mystery that will always be tinged with uncertainty. Luetgert lived leds than two years of his life's sentence, dying in the Joilet penitentiary on July 27, 1899, leaving no confession. His atterney, Jawrence Harmon, at the time of the convicted man's death had just com- pleted arrangement to have the records in the case prepared for the Supreme court. Luetgert's trial was no doubt, sne of the most sensational ever held in Tilino] At his death D Werner and O'Malley held a post-mortem ex- amination, disclosing the fact that ne had died from fatty degeneration of the heart. score of more of long unused tie-ups in the big cow barn and to do other neglected work under his supervision. “Better get Joe back home to help us as a steady hand, dad,” Jim advised at the end of the busiest day the big farm had known in many a year. “Joe gits 18 a month over Grimes's, protested the elder Kelton. “We can allow him 20,” said Jim. “You know Joe could mik two to our one before he went from home. And it's better to keep all we can in the family.” Early the next day Jim went down a footpath to look at strip of land which had been plowed the year before and allowed to grow up to weeds becauss they had neglected to seed it dowmn. He had just crossed a plank foot- bridge over a broad open ditch when he saw Aunt 'Liza Blain 6n the Kel- ton side of the run. She was observing a dozen of the new Holsteins follow- ing along close inside the pasture fence. he flushed when she saw Jim Kel- ton looking at her from the other s, of the ditch. “You needn’t worry about theicr gei- ting into vour fleld, Miss Blain," said Jim. “T've had the -fence put inte good shape. “What put your father up to bus'nz stock that's really worth sometnin she asked in her blunt way “T own the Holsteins,” said Jim , “Your father used to start to do big things sometimes.’ continued = Miks Blain, “but you know as well as I do what'it amounted to.” - She came down the ath with the avi- dent intention of ecrossing the plank bridge without waiting for Jim to re- ply to her jibe. She saw him stoop and lift the plank and draw it over to sis side of the ditch. “Now listen, Miss Blain,' the big fei- low said, while she stared at him :n open-mouthed wonder. “You told Mat- tie that I handn't ginger enough in m= to make my way in the world. TI've started out to prove you are mistaken. Now you'veMigot to promise something |or 'l keep you waiting on that side of the ditch till you're tired of it.” “What—what—what!” sputtered Aunt "Liza. “I want you to agree to let. Mattio marry me if, at the end of the veer, I'm making g§0od here on’the fasm.” continued Jim. “If you can't be fai enough to allow me a year to prove mv- self, then you may stay on that -side of the plank. For once Aunt 'Liza was dumb. Sie thought of trying to get back by way of the road. “Youw'll have to wade knee-deep in water to reach the road,” Jim added, reading her thought. Looking at hin she suddenly understood that good na- ture was not the only quality showing in his face. 4 “Don’t be a fool, J! Kelton,” snap- ped Miss Blain, a @ifferent note in her voice. “Tll let you prove yourself.” Jim flung the plank across the ditch and stepped aside to let Miss Blain cross. That evening he went again to see Mattie. Their discourse was not of Holsteins_ or fences, of hay. b “Aunt 'Liza said you were coming, Mattie confided. “Isn't she a dear, after al Exchange. - EVERY DAY REFLECTONS A New Racs. Americans are a new race. ‘ Americans are not a species of Eng- lishmen. They are as distinct from | Englishmen as they are from French- | men or Germans.

First Settiers In lowa.

Farther up the river,’on the present site of cGregor in ‘Clayton county were the cabins of Basil Giard, who occupied a land, grant of about 5,860 acres, cul- tivating a part of it from 1796 to 180S. “More can be told of the Spanish graat of Mardh 30, 1799, to is Honore or Tesson,” says Mr. Jacob>Van der Zse in the July number of ‘“The Iowa Journal History and _Politics,” pub lished by the State Historical society | of lowa. “Zemon Trudeau gave him | permission to make a settlement wit in Sac and Fox territory upon 70! arpents of land, en the site of tae present town of Montrose in lLee| <ounty.
