No. .189, Today By Arthur Briibana All About Strange Man. He Cures and Kills A long Road to Go. Does Education Fail. Copyright by King Feature f Syndicate, lno.) Man is a strange animal. David Bernstein; Brooklyn tai lor, deliberately killed a man against whom he held no grudge; pushing him off au ele vated railroad platform in Brooklyn. No one saw him. lie confessed to the poliec. Iusuue, probably. The law-niuking machinery of New York decided to kill Frank Piaia in the electric chair. Acute appendicitis threatened the electric chair program. A good surgeon, hired at public expense, restored Piaia to the death house. "Out of kindness,." he is allowed to play cards with his partner in crime, Michael Sciafoni, a wall sepa rating tliem. Strange uses of science, kill ing men by electricity, saving their lives by surgery, that the electricity may kill them, treat ing them kindly, while waiting for the chair. A eat does no worse with its mouse. M Karth's 1,800,000,0(10 people are not QUITK 'CIVILIZED YET. Further details concerning the massacre of 3000 Moluim mcdjais by Chinese in Kansu province show that the human nice still has soino distancp to travel. Of late Mohammedans had been murdering Chinese. Thcu came famine, most desperate, among the Mohammedans, who were invited by Chinese offi cials to come to Taochow for a conference with promises of roasted barley. When they came, men from 15 to fit) were separated from the women, taken outside the walls, and "MOO0 of them butch ered like sheep." AVheu they saw that they were to be killed the Mohammedans asked no nvey. After the famine the Moham medans will doubtless murder 10 or 20 Chinese for each Mo hammedan killed in the massa cre. So it goes among human be inifs, most ernel and blood thirsty of all animals.

PORTLAND AID OPPOSITION 10 M'NARY DEPENDENT Republicans See Tariff Pro tection Lumber and Other Northwest Industries As Factor in Oregon Sena tor's Renomination Na tional Party Attention in West. By James tj. West Associated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON. Sept. 88. VP) While a number of the 13 Repub lican and Democratic senators from the western states will be re turned without really serious op position, thora aro enough con tests and elements of uncertainty in the situation to draw tho at tention and efforts of national party leaders to the section. Illinois may provtdo tho most Interesting contest among the Re publicans, with Mrs. Ruth Hannu Mccormick, rcprescntative-at-large contesting the nomination with Senator Charles S. Deneen. lieu tenant Governor Stirling may make this a three-cornered fight. Minnesota Is to he the scene nf a stiff contest between Senator Thomas D. Schull and Oovernor Theodore Chrlstlanson. Tilt lu Iowa. A lively tilt la likely among tho Republicans for the senatorial nomination In Iowa. Governor .Tohn Ham mill and Representative U J. Dickinson are candidates and there has been some talk that Cir cuit Judgo William S. Kenyon might enter the race. Senator Daniel F.'Bteck may bo renominated by the Democrat without opposition, but - as Iowa normally la overwhelmingly Re publican his friends expect that he will hnvo a hard fight. With George W. Norrls, the in dependent Republican, maintaining silence as to his plans, there Is an element or uncertainty In the situ ation In Nebraska. - An interesting situation may de velop In both the primary and general elections In Colorado, due to differences within the ranks of both parties there. IUtlo Opposition. Thus far no primary opposition has developed against Senators Cousens of Michigan, Capper of Kansas, Borah ot Idaho, McMaster of South Dakota, Warren of Wyo. mlng and McNary of Oregon. How. over, somo Republicans say that nn uncontested renomination for Mc"Nary depends In no small meas ure upon the protection accorded the lumber and other Industries of the northwest in the pending tariff bill. i ; . Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana, noted prosecutor of the oil scan dals and Sam O. H ration of New Mexico, the only western Demo cram besides Stack Up for re-election, are expected to have lltllo opposition within their own party and whether the Republicans will make a serlouo effort against them will depend largely upon de velopments during the next few months.
