Claskncy Bbowh, a Olencoe youth of seventeen, was arrested recently In Bvanston for speeding. He was fined $60 and coats by Police Magistrate Bona, M<* ot the fine being suspend- *d during the good behavior of .the offender. Twice before has Clas*»ce Baowzf been brought before Justice Botes. Only a few months ago a fine of $10 was Imposed upon him, the youth put on probation and ordered to report once each month to the Evans- ton magistrate with an account of his behavior. This formality the boy das failed to observe. In the light of these unpleasant facts, the leniency shown by Justice Botes appears to be entirely mis- placed. In the Brst place, the boy is under the legal age for driving an au- tomobile. He has shown himself un- trustworthy and unappreciatlve or the kindness extended to him In the past. His operation of the machine which be teems determined to drive without regard to law and with no considers- 'tion of the public is a menace to the c and ougoT not to be permitted. JlPhere seems to be every reason for ie/*erity in the case of Cujwwcs BBOWK. In Justice to him as well as to the public, it should have been put out of his pwer to continue in a floWse of recklessness which must, eatuany, remit in serious accident to someone. â-  We trust that *ho police wUl keep, ||^ ^eys o»'t»s,0(«idaet of the Glencoe Bjroii^oAd^that, should there be an- I other occasion otitis arrest, Justice ;>:':Botx* will not be misled by unwise | Mtntlment buf will inflict upon him g^tnll-penal^r,-- -â-  ---: RKjTAW_ MMAblTV VQ BE . fej*>:<entire session of the Interna- Bttonsl Medical Cpngresa, the first meeting df which will be held in Lon- don, tomorrow, Is to be given over to the dtecussion of Infant Mortality.'

The premature promises which are said to be a part of the Sciucrr cam- palgn bear witness to his ignorance of the regulations which govern post- office affairs, and attest his unfitness for office. The aspirant to the dignity of postmaster would seem to have no other qualification for the office than that chance has made of him a Demo- crat. If be knows no more of political principles than he seems to of civil service laws, Mr. Schbtp would prob- ably have difficulty In explaining his political affiliations. It seems aafo to presume that the signatures attached to the petition of Mr. Sciucrr will be neither numerous nor important. * * * BEGINNING RIGHT. Club women of St. Paul have enlist- ed In a campaign for the return ot greater modesty in feminine attire and have directed their first effort to- ward securing from the manufactur- | ers of ready-to-wear garments, differ* 1 ent and more seemly styles. It is the girl or woman of modest means who is exposed to the greatest criticism for adopting extreme styles In dress and who Is likely to suffer, most from whatever attention and comment her clothing elicits. And yet, Hho Is least to blame. Compelled to wear garments which may be bought made in the shops, she is quite at the mercy of the prevailing fashion, modest or Immodest, becom- ing or not. If these St. Paul women achieve suc- cess In their attempt to provide euit- able costumes for the wearers of ready-made suits and dresses, they will have conferred an untold benefit upon those women and girls who are not satisfied with the immodest style of the garments and yet have no re- course but to buy and wear them. m * X. Of the utmost importance from the standpoint of common human kind- ness Is the complete investigation of such cases as that concerning the "peddling" of a tiny baby which has been put into the hands of the Juve- nile Protective association of Chicago, 'the terrible conditions prevalent in the Infant lite of a great city as shown in the death reports of babies, makes -one sick at heart to consider. The sum of suffering and, perhaps, serious physical Injury which results from the almost open traffic in babies is far, far worse. Death is far pref- erable to the life which lies ahead tor friendless, forsaken bits of humanity bartered for gain by a conscienceless public. * * * A garden concert and dance was given Friday by Mr. and Mrs. Ocoboe A- Thobne, by which more than $600 was realized to swell the Arden Shore camp, an Institution which con- tributes in no small degree to the sum- mer happiness of Chicago's poor.. If the generosity of the residents of the north shore villages is an Index to the charity they feel for the help- leas atoms in Chicago's multitude of poor, the men and women whose lines have fallen in pleasant places have ever a keen appreciation of their obli- gation to share a part of the beauties and comforts they enjoy with those leas happily treated by fortune.' m * * One of the most important tests of the value of a preparatory school should be the effect a course in it has upon its students in regard to a con- tinuance of work in college. This test the Evanston Academy meets In a most satisfactory manner, aocordlngto the records ot Principal HUM, from which it appears that about ninety per cent of the pupils graduating from the Academy leave that institution to en- ter upon a college course, most often at Northwestern university, but fre- quently in eastern college* also. ;... mm m ^|f|tt;Pj It is rather an interesting coinci- dence that the national sons; of Ger- many and France, and our own "America," is. in each Instance, the only production of the author; it ap- pears that the fervor of patriotism by whlris these composers watt actuated VON KLEIN HAS HOI FORGOTTEN OLDFI Former Diamond Broker, Who Is in Jaii in Portland, Ore., Awaiting New Trial, Writes Long Letter EVANSTON LUNG MOTOR SAVES AGED MAN'S LIFE Anthony Johnson, 87 Years Old, Revived by Assistance of New Machine. FROM HIS JAIL CELL Edmund E. C. von Klein, former Ev- anaton resident and well-known dia- mond broker, who Is now in jail in Portland, Ore., awaiting a new trial on a charge of larceny preferred against him by Mias Ethel Newcomb, who claims von Klein married her and then robbed her of her diamonds, has not forgotten bis friends here, as is proved by a letter a friend of bis received re- cently. At the trial of the former Evanston- ian last month the Jury was divided on his guilt and a new trial was or- dered. Yon Klein claims that all the witnesses who testified against him at his trial perjured themselves and that because he did not offer any de- fense the state's attorney is mad at him. Can't Send Him Over. Von Klein, however, according to his letter, still retains bis old-time courage and boasts that the state hasn't enough money to send him "over." This is what he says in a letter be wrote on a typewriter in his cell to an Evanston friend: Portland, Ore., July 29, 1913. My Dear Friend:â€"1 remember your expression of confidence in me and i-|-Just~waBted~t6~WTlte you, and tell you that you need not be disappointed in your opinion. I had my trial and won by a disagreement, 6 to 7 in my favor. Now' these hounds are going to try me again and the next trial Is set for the second day of September. You never heard such perjury in your life, but at that the jury could read be- tween the lines and there were too many contradictions to be right. The state has spent $5,000 and the prosecuting attorney is sore at me be- cause I just sat there and smiled at it all, and did not think enough ot their evidence to contradict it. If It had not been for the couple of friends of the 'prosecuting attorney's who were on the jury and that we could not remove for cause, I would have had a complete vindication. Is Without Bonds. As it Is I am here without, bonds for every time I raise bonds they set them higher. I have given up trying to get them. I remain as exclusive as I can and stick to the apartments which the benevolent state of Oregon has so graciously furnished me (gratis). I spend most of my time in silk pajamas, hammering away at this typewriter which they have allowed me to rent and I find it a great help to pass the time away with and com- forts a good many lonely hours. It is my first experience with a typewrit- er. I am trying to make the best of it and am as happy as could be ex- pected for a man of my temperament. I was born with the spirit of '76 and it will take more than a lot of graft- ers to take me down. I have plenty of money to take care of my personal wants, etc. They know they have no chance to convict me and they are now scouring the country to see whether or not they can scrape up some other fellow's deals that they might be able to fasten on me. However, my bank roll will last as long as thelr*s will and If they think they can break me they are crasy with the heat. I have not been in business all these years for noth- ing.- The Evanston papers have not given me a square deal. Try to put me right there if you can. I would Anthony Johnson. 87 years of age, who resides with his son, Anthony Johnson, Jr., 911 Chicago avenue, Evanston, was resuscitated early Monday morning by use of the lung motor recently purchased by Evanston. Be was found in his room at 6:20 o'clock An imme- diate response was made by the po- lice and Fire Marshal Harrison with the life saving machine, and the aged man revived sufficiently so that he was removed to the Evanston hospital. It is thought that Mr. Johnson was overcome by the fumes escaping from a gas jet when the flame was blown out by the wind. Mrs. Johnson, his daughter-in-law, stated that because of his frailties she had often feared that he might not completely shut off the gas in turning off the light An- thony Johnson, Jr., arose at 6 a. m. Monday.. He detected gaa fumes . . in the house and traced it to the bed AmpI room of bis father. There he found [ Pllllt the aged man gasping tor breath and apparently in a dying condition. He was quickly revived by the lung motor a few minutes later. Drs. Roome and Race were called and attended him. As soon as the victim was resuscitated they advised be be taken to the hospital, where precaution can be taken against any disease which might set In following the shock incident to the near-as- phyxiation. ;';outstawtt»at common stock,' whicWcompareJ with 820 per oent in the previous ysasv fc&l per*osti*il»- 1911, 8.22 per-cent in 19}0 and lie per cenc In 1909, % Up to the close of May the epu- pany earned a surplus available for dividends amounting to $13,219,8»6, sufficient to meet a full year's 8 per cent dividend on the outstanding pre- ferred stock and leave a balance equal to S.26 per cent on the 6132,465,581 outstanding common stock, Maintenance is being met out of surplus earnings.
