FACE THIRD TRIAL
KANSAS CITY", Mo., May 24.-
Tho Third trial of Dr. B. Clark
Hyde, charged with tho murder of
Colonel Thomas ,11. Swope, Is sched
uled upon tho docket of tho criminal
court to begin next Monday, but it is
quite likely that tho state will ask
for another continuance, as the spe
cial prosecutor, United States Sena
tor J. A. Reed, is still detained in
Washington by his duties in con
gress. If another postponement is
asked for and granted the caso will
probably not come up until after the
adjournment of cougress.
At the first trial, In tho spring of
1910, Dr. Hyde was found guilty and
was sentenced to imprisonment for
life, but a now trial was granted,
wlilch camo up last year. Hyde's
second trial ended abruptly when
Harry Waldron, one of tho Jurors,
escaped from the marshals. The
third trial was to begin on January
2, 1912, but at the request of the
prosecution it was postponed until
May 27, in tho hope that by that
timo Senator Reed would be at leis
ure to give his attention to tho case.
Dr. C. Clark Hyde had been un
der suspicion in connection with the
aiystcrious Illness and deaths In the
swopo family ever since tho death of
Colonel Thomas H. Swopo on Octo
ber 3, 1909. Tho death of Colonel
Swopo followed sqpu after ho had
suffered a severe convulsion, and
this convulsion, it was charged by
tho membors or tho Swopo family,
followed immediately after tho ad
ministration of a capsule given by
direction of Dr. Hyde. Dr. Hydo
said it was a digestive tablet.
It was proved at tho trial that Dr.
Hydo had purchased cyanide of po
tassium In five-grain capsules. Dr.
Hydo claimed ho bought tho cyanide
capsules to kill roaches in his office.

1LLTAM JENNINGS
meeting to the Titanic
"Let no man bring to my deathbed for my consola
tion Darwin's 'Descent of Alan'. Rather let my friend
read to me the twenty-third
shepherd,; I shall not want.' "
To all of its there conies, some time in life, this propo prepo prope
sition: Either I am descended from a soulless, stomaehless,
brainless, spineless germ, as science declares, or 1 am from
God.
Fascinating in the extreme is a study of the scientific
side "of the proposition, logical is its argument. But its
end is a blank wall no hope, no consolation. We are
simply soulless brutes of high degree and life is but a
contemptible joke on the spermatozoa. Wo go to our
deaths in Titanies and that's the last of us, so far as our
widows, orphans and loved friends are concerned. Disbe
lief, hopelessness, despair!
"When a man has reached Bryan's age he sees that all
the happiness possible in this life does not suffice, with
Death and Eternity knocking at the door, that all the
force of reason, all the deductions of logic fall short of
what man if he thinks must have.
Face to face with Forever, man turns from the deep
black pit which logic has dug downward and turns his
face upward to catch the blessed satisfying rays of faith
from on high. The picture of his child's cold corpse
knocking about with the cadavers in the Titanic coffin,
down there in the sea, gives place to a picture of a child,
happy, safe, at peace on the breast of God the Father.
Let science gnaw her husks. The Lord is the shepherd
of those we've "loved and lost awhile,' and His rod and
His staft shall comfort us.
THE WOMEN
SATISFYING in the extreme must be the news of the
recent Colorado election to the adherants of equal
suffrage. The women have
the antis "Look at the women of Colorado, they haven't
cleaned up that lair of 'the beast'." But that cry now is
the crv of yesterday. It has been answered.
Backed by the women of
larly appealed m his tight against corruption. Judge Ben
B. Lindsey was re-elected as one of the citizens' ticket by
a vote which swept every ward in the city. The citizens'
ticket won by at least 20,000 majority over the democratic
ticket and from 5000 to 7000 over the republicans. Head
ed by Henry Arnold for mayor, Lindsey 's associates were
opposed to both the republican and democratic machines.
The campaign was the most bitter in the city's history.
Lindsey made a strong appeal to tho women of the city to
vindicate him against the attacks of his foes and they
gave his party victory for his full ticket in every division
of the city, even down to the last alderman.
During the past two months Jackson county has lis
tened to attacks on equal suffrage bv a candidate for the
state legislature. Particularly bitter have been his refer
ences to the women of Colorado, who have the ballot, and
of which state he was a former resident. These attacks
have certainly been rebuked, if not silenced, by the results
of Tuesday's balloting at Denver. The women of Color
jado have "made good."
SCHOOL FAILURES.
THE report of the county superintendent of schools in
the eighth grade uniform examinations again calls
attention to the astonishingly low averages made by stu
dents. '
Out of 221 taking the examinations, 120, or 57 per
cent, passed in all subjects, 02 were conditioned in one
or two subjects, 33 failed outright, and only 8, or .3 percent,
made an average of 90 percent or more. An average in
all branches of 80 percent is required to pass.
The largest number failed in arithmetic, with spelling
second and geography third.
These figures do not cover the Medford schools, which
will be reported later.
As the figures in other grades at other examinations
have shown a corresponding low average throughout the
state, it is evident that something is the matter with the
school system.

Hie proposed bill intimates the Tux

discretion of the treasury department
whether or not our bowls are ac
cepted, depending on the need of the
community for the issue of the cur

of our f.eo.urity. Ojir security is am

Our need is tirgont ns witness our
bid of 1,800,000 for $1, 1500,000 last
fall, stipulating we sjiould have twen

The small item of -1-1)0,000 saved

it differently, however.
