Only Republican Newspaper in 'the County. HENDRICKS & COMPANY TELEPHONE No. 27. OFFICE Bissell Building, croer Laporte and Center Street. Entered at the Fostofnce at Plymouth, Indiana tecond clan matter. Plymouth. Indiana August 8, 1907. Jim Goodrich hardly knows whether he wants to remain state chairman of the Republican committee or be a candidate for governor. In either event the prospects for Republican success next year will be greatly hampered if Goodrich heads the ticket or becomes the chairman again. The Republican party had a close call last year and it was caused by too much Jim. ..Give us a new deal and deal Goodrich out. J J 0 SHOULD ijÄm HJM fi.IWQll. At the July meeting of the board of county commissioners an order was made by the board for County Assessor W. T. Leonard and County Attorney H. A. Logan to go to Indianapolis and appear before the state tax board to oppose the proposed increase in valuation of lands and improvements in this county. The board further provided in the event of Mr. Logan's inability to goi to Indianapolis that Senator Parks should go in his place. It now appears that the Senator took it on himself to go along with Mr. Logan and Leonard and now in addition to his regular expenses he files a bill for $30.00 as fees. ' We do not know who employe'd "The" Senator but he should look to that individual for compensation. We would also like to know how he bases his charge. Mr. Logan asks $15 in addition to his expenses and if the senator is basing his price according to the amount of legal ability that he possesses the amount is abotut $49 too high and if it is based on the amount of "fluence" that he has the amount is $30 too high. At any rate he has no claim on the county and the commissioners will undoubtedly see that he will get what is coming to him $00.00.. The Lak Maxinkuckee Victim. The boy who was drowned at Culver Wednesday afternoon, was Ernest J. Cross, aged 18 years.' He had come from Chicago alone, and boarded with Oliver Morris. At th boarding house he became acquainted with Leroy Aimen, also from Chicago. The two, although before unknown to each orther, became great chums. Wednesday afternoon young Cross and three other boys, were amusing themselves about Vandalia park, when Cross proposed going bathing, but as the other boys would not go, he went alone. The other boys were watching him swim when suddenly he was seized with a cramp and cried for help. Two of his companions loosened a boat from Capt. Morris pier, but k.-.ew nothing about rowing and were unable to reach the spot before the boy had sunk. Finally Arthur Morris dove for and brought up the body after it had been under water for 15 or 20 minutes. The depth of the water where the body was recovered was 6 or 7 feet. His father, residing at 7117 Lang ley Ave., Chicago, arrived at Culver this morning and will take the body to Chicago for burial. Abolition of Contraband!. The British proposition for the ab olition of contraband was adopted in committee at The Hague Wednesday by 25 votes to 5. The representatives of the United States, Germany, France, Russia and Montenegro ex pressed themselves as opposed to the measure and Japan, Spain Panama, Greece and Roumania abstained from voting. There were also ten absen tees. In explanation of the American vote in opposition Joseph H. Choate declared it was the plan of the Unit ed States to limit, in every way pos sible, the list of objects that shall be regarded as contraband of war, but to go further than this now would be a violation of a long-estab lished custom. The change, Mr. Choate continued, will create many uncertainties regarding the right3 and duties of neutrals and belligerents, prove more injurious to the com merce of the world than the existing custom and cntribute nothing to the interests of peace. Snake ForcecT to Find A New Lodging House. Sherman Gillians eighteen vc.irs old, son of William Gilians, a farmer of Danville 111., felt a peculiar sen sation in the region af his nose, which had been preceded by itching and a slight flow of blood. The young man commenced blowing his nose to get relief, and, to his amazement, forced from one of his nostrils a snake nininches long and about the circumference of a knitting needle or a httpin When the snake was stretched ov it would quickly coil itself in the manner of a reptile a hundred tim.-s its size. The snake has been exhibited to a nsmber of physicians, but none would venture an opinion as td the snake's- history and the why of its existence.

Troops and Strikers .Clash Again. The city of Lodz, Russia, is again the scene of a strike movement accompanied by violence, disorder and death. Th ? troops have encountered the strikers in the center of the town and some thirty men have been killed or wounded in this fight alone. Business is at a standstill, and fears are entertained of what the trouble may bring forth. It came to a head Wednesday, and in spite of the aggressive stand taken by the authorities the disorders were renewed Thursday morning. The strike is serious. It would appear to be the beginning of a big labor war, and the workmen's unions are prepared fotr a long struggle. The immediate cause of the outbreak on Wednesday was the course pursued by the police during the last eight days in making a large number of arrests in attempts to break up the unions. The principal Socialist leader shave been thrown into jail. The police have been senerjjeticn their measures against the unions that they have united the Social Democrats, the Polish Socialists and the Nation alists, parties which, up to. the present time, have been waging a merciless war, accompanied by daily murders and outrages among themselves. A general strike has been declared and the Social Democrats and the Polish Socialists have called out 32,000 men. The Nationalists have been forced to join the committee of the amalgamated unions. The committee has ordered that all business in Lodz cease. Stores have been toJd to close, and the power-house of the electric traction system has been shut down. The committee is enforcing its orders with armed men, and several

shopkeepers who refused to shut up have been shot. Corean Princes AsTc U. S. Aid. Prince Tyjong Oui Yi, who; with Yi Sang Sul, reached New York Thursday from The Hague, where they, as Corea's delegates, sought vainly to lay before the nations the plight of Corea, was deeply affected when he heard that forty Corean sol diers had been killed or wounded while resisting the Japanese. "The death of those soldiers," de clared Prince Yi, feelingly, "marks the baptism in blood of Corea's final efforts to throw off Japan's domina tion. The Corean army will resist Japan's disarmament steps to the last, and Corea, responding to a great na tional sentiment, will rise up and fight for her liberty. This is the out come of 4,700 years of distrust with which Corea as a nation has regard ed Japan. There are 1,500,000 Coreans, able bodied patriotic men, who are ready to fight. They have weap ons of various kinds and they will fight." Prince Tyjong Oui Yi and Yi Sang Sul plan to apeal to the American nation to save the Hermit Kingdom fro effacement by the Japanese. Prince Yi said that Corea's last hope rested in the jrsticc and fairness of the American people, ta whom Corea was looking for deliverance from the Japanese. Prince Yi and Yi Sang Sul hope to see President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay and lay before him the status of the Corean situation. for Office. Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco, who was recntly convicted of accept ing bribes and who was sentenced to the penitentiary, has made appoint ments to fill the vacancies created by the turced resignations of thirteen members of the Board oi Supervisors. Schmitz claims the right of appoint ment on the ground that he is the rightful mayor of San Francisco. In giving out his appointments, Mayor Schmitz made the following comment on the municipal situation "I am exceedingly sorry to see this supervisorial tangle, for it is likely to cause a deal of litigation for the city and county of San Francisco for years to come. Myown course is clear. Acting upon the advice of my attorneys, which I believe td be absolutely legal, I hold that I, as mayor of San Francisco, have the sole power of appointment to vacan cies in municipal offices, and that the appointive acts of E. B. Taylor are void and incapable oif legal support. Schmitz complained that his pri vate mail is being opened by Mayor Taylor. He exhibited several letters addressed to "Hon. Engene E. Schmitz, Sarf Francisco, Personal." which have been slit open and mark ed in indelible pencil, "Opened by Edward R. Taylor." "This is something that no man wiil stand for," said Schmitz. "I shall take it tip immediately with the au thorities at Washington, and press the complaint to the limit against Mr. Taylor." Marshall County Asses&ment De creased. The State Tax Board made its decision Saturday in reference to the assessments of the counties of the 13th district. All counties in this district besides Pulaski and Marshall, were allowed to remain as before. The assessments of Pulaski and Marshall counties were decreased 5 per cent. This when an increase of 5 per cent was threatened. This decision was a just one, as Marshall county property owners are paying fully, enough in proportion to other counties of the state. Cause of Low Birth Rate. It costs $23,000 to bring up the average child of middle class famil ies who live in cities like New York. These are the figures given by John Graham Brooks, the Boston author, in a lecture at Chautauqua. "I hesitate to bring up the ques tion of race suicide," he said, "but it is a dismal fact that the increased ex pense of bringing up children in cit ies where the people either choose or are compelled to live is largely responsible for the decrease in the birth rate."

The Negro Business League.

The meeting of the Negro Business Men's League at Indianapolis representing the colored people of the State is one of the encouriging signs of the time for the race. This society will affiliate with the national league and, it is hoped, will bring strength to it as representing Indiana. The negro population of Indianapolis is large and it contains men and women that arc an honor to their people and a help to society because they have set the gootd eaxmple of stead surdy industry, of honesty of life, and of self-respecting good citizenship. Such organizations as this which has just been formed represent the very best effort and success that the colored race can offer; for they speak not so much for profesiooial attainment as for business and industrial progress. They represent more the Booker Washington idea of the colored man that shall make himself useful in the community. As to whichsays Washington, there need lnever-be fear of success. Let the colored man become expert in doing something, and he will always find something to do. This is a general truth that can not be denied. But in its application the colored people themselves need counsel more than does society at large. There is no prejudice that will prevent society in general from patronizing a colored man that has demonstrated his skill and excellence. Is this true always of the people of his own race? It ought to be. There ought decidedly to be prejudice in favor of such a one on the part of members of his race because at this stage of development at least, too much help and encouragement can not be given the members of a race tha are coming fopward ender so heavy a handicap. Race loyalty is one of the things most needed right now to encourage advancement. This is only another name for race pride. And race pride running throughout allrthe relations of life is greatly needed among the colored people. There is much to be proud of. Members of the race in almost every community have done things in the few years that they have had a chance to show their quality that makes a chapter in the history of the race of great promise. .On all sides may be found, amid much that is depressing, abundant cause for encouragement!, and the plea that the colored people themselves develop race pride and support those that aspire, while they seek to emulate their example is one that should be emphasized on all such occasions as this le-igue meeting. Englishmen Start in Search of South Pole; The Endurance, originally a Newfoundland sealing vessel of 227 tons, but which has been refitted as a steam barkentine sailed down the Thames Wednesday with the English south polar expedition, commanded by Lieut. E. H. Shackelton, on board. Lieutenant Shackelton was a member bf the Discovery Antartic expedition under command of Capt. Scotr. Winter quarters for twelve persons with provisions for two years will be established on King Edward VII land, and an attempt will be made to reach the South Pole during the summer of 1908. The equipment on board the Endurance consists, among other things, of a motor car provided with different sets of runners for travel over surfaces of varying softness, twelve Siberian ponies and twenty-four do ts. Several scientists, with elaborate apparatus, accompany the expedition. The Endurance is commanded by Lieutenant Rupert England. He plans to pick up the explorers in January, 1909. In the meantime Lieutenant , England will conduct magnetic and maritime investigations on King Edward VII land, which is practically a virgin field for exploration. Two other Antartic expeditions are now being made5 ready. France has granted Dr. Jean Chaicot $120,000 for Antartic explorations, and certain Belgian societies are raising $250,000 to permit Henryk Arotoiwski, the Belgian explorer, to resume his efforts to reach the South Pole. Wife Beatdr is Flogged in Street by Alderman, Because he had brutally beaten his wife, Louis Zamboli oi Wilkesbarre, Pa., was handcuffed to a post in the public street and vigorously thrashed by Alderman D. A. MacKelway. An idmiring crowd looked on and applauded the aldeTman while the beaten and bruised wife stood by watching the flogging and listening with evident satisfaction to her husband's cries for mercy. As the woiman told in the Alderman's Court that her husband had beaten her day after day the alderman's indignation overcame him. He leaped from the bench and declared that fines and imprisonment were no punishment to such a brute. He hustled Bamboli to the street, and, after having him handcuffed to a hitching post on the sidewalk, a man in the crowd took off his belt and handed it to the alderman. The alderman laid it across the prisoner's back vigorously until the man begged for mercy on his knes. But the flogging continued, and not until satisfied he had taught the pris oner a lesson, did he cease. Nationalists Win. The independence factions that united in the campaign under the name of the Nationalists, at Manila, appear to have won the general election, held throughout the islands Wednesday." Incomplete returns from fifty out of eighty districts show that thirty-one Nationalists were elected, ten progressives, eight independence candidates and one CathoJlic. I tf probably will be ten days or two weeks before the complete re turns are received.

Gary Fights Trust

In order to get a traction franchise to operate in Gary, the $1,000,000,000 United States Steel Corporation is taking to the referendum method that plan which has long been the property of the radicals and which more than once has' been termed so cialistic However, it seems that the big cor poration, backed by such men as J. P. Morgan, is actually forced to the ref erendum method. This plan seems to be the only one which assures suc cess' in getting the coveted franchise After laying out the town of Gary and planning many conveniences for its inhabitants the steel corporation thought to have no difficulty in getting a traction franchise. It was explained that cars were necessary for the men, who would be compelled to go from the steel plant to tfieir homes, and vice versa, two or three L times a day. But when the franchise was sought the trustees of Gary: unexpectedly I called a halt on the big corporation The trustees announced thaf all fran chises would go to! the lowest bid ders. The steel men had already or ganized the. Gary. & Hammond Street Railway Company; and it was at this juncture that they found they had a competitor ' in Grant N. Gavitt, a lawyer of Whiting. He cut his bids lower than any one else and promised that fare would be eight rides for a quarter. The cor poration coaildn't meet this, but there was some fear as to the ability of Gavitt to carry his venture through and an immense petition signed by many property holders was presented to the trustees, asking that the con tract go to the steel men. The trus tees, however, were deaf to all these appeals Recently, however, the steel men have foaind an Indiana law which pro vides that1 a referendum may be ob tained through a petition signed by one-half of the voters who voted at the last election. U. S. N. Ensign Tells of Central American Affair. Ensign Hugh Brown of the battle ship Ohio, now stationed in Brook lyn Harbor, son of Rear Admiral Geo. Brawn, reached Indianapolis Wednesday to spend a part of his twelve days leave of absence with his parents at their home in Woodruff place. He will remain in Indian apolis for a few days and will return to duty on board the Ohio at the ex piration of his leave. During the last year Ensign Brown has seen the greater part of the insur rections that have stirred the small nations abornt Ccnral America and some of the South American princi nalities. He visited the shores where the insurrections were taking place on the ; Marietta, a gunboat, being among the first to land at the scenes of a part 6f the roubles which he said result d merely in1 "little scrr.ps." "There were no fights," he said, in speaking of the troubles the natives in some of . the little nations caused, "merely scraps. The presence of the American bluejackets' was enough to quiet the hottest of these. On the whole thf affairs were very tame." While in Honduras Ensign Brown lived in the building that had until just before the arrival of the Amcr ican ships been owned and occupied by the Louisiana State Lattery Com pany. The last drawing that the Louisiana people held took place just before the Americans came and took possession of their home. The "blujackets" under Capt. W. M. Fulkm policed the town of Porta Catez, where the lottery home was located, for two months, beginning in the early part of last March. Ram es es II a Fraud, Egyptologists Say. Egyptologists say they have dis covered that Rameses II was a fraud, and that he is not entitled to the ap pellation of "Great," which historians have given him. Recent explorations, it is stated, have developed the fact that the many temples and monu ments bearing his name, and there fore, supposedly his work, existed a thousand years befotre him. The explorers believe the king was vain and 'caused his name to be cut every where. Professor Neville, one of the offi cial explorers of antiquities in Egypt had this to say abut Rameses: "The more we discover about Rameses the more convinced we are that he was a fraud. He was not great in any wav. but his vanity was colossal. To satis fy this he conceived the idea of causv ing his name to be inscribed on every temple, statue and monument, that he imagined would stand the test of time. The plan succeeded only too Well for many years. In consequence of it, explorers unite in deciding that he must have been a great king. Now we arc beginning to find him out." Duty of Newspapers. A man engages in the newspaper business to make a living, just like anyone else in any other business. It is not the duty of the newspaper man to ferret out any mean or contemptible act any more than it is the duty of a citizen. The citizens of a community are responsible for the immorality of a town,for dishonest clec'tions, for the breaking of the law not the newspaper. How many business men are there in a town who will condemn a wrongdoer when they know it will injure them? And yet that's what some persons expect the newspaper to do. A majority of them, if they endorse an article condemnthe wickedness of some scion, will come around to the editor in private and tell him he has done right, yet when it comes to talking it on the streets and elsewhere their nerve fails them, and the editor is left to fight the battle alone. It is the individual and not the newspaper that hasn't moral courage. Newspapers reflect the wishes of the people and are the result of existing conditions, which must be changed, if at all. by individual effort. Exchange.

Many Millions of Poles Used.

In traveling over the coiiintry there is no more familiar sight than the long lines of telegraph and telephone poles flanking either side of the main highways. Not infrequently one seej a double line on either side. It is evident at a glance that each immense forest that has been sacrificed to this wonderful invention of modern times. Consider the numberless road3 throughout the length and breadth of tjiis country, the '.electric railways and the steam railway lines, and remember that on an average of forty poles are used for every mile of line. This gives one some conception of the demand that is being made upon the forests for this purpose. Just how many trees are now standing as poles along our highways will never be known, but according to statistics compiled by the bureau of census and the forest service there are annually required? at the present time ,.V00,00 poles for the construction of new lines and the replacing of worn out poles. This number includes all poles used by telegraph, telephone, electric light, and power companics throughout the United States. The average life of a pole is supposed to be about eight years, but since the pole decays fastest at the base, wher if comes in contact with the ground much can be done to extend its normal life by protecting this portion of it from decay. This is accomplished by treating it with creosote or some other preservative. The bulletin issue by the bureau of the census and the forest service brings out "' some interesting facts. First, it shows that cedar alone furnishes nearly two-thirds of all the poles used. This in itself is a striking point since cedar is not a plentiful kind of timber and the supply comes chiefly from the lake states, New England, Idaho, and Washington. In this respect it is decidedly unlike, for example which is found in almost every state of the union, or oak, which is widely distributed. Chestnut ranks next to cedar and furnishes nearly 1,000,000 of the 3,000,000 poles required. Pine, cypress jumper and redwood, rank next in the order given, while no other single one of the commercial trees in the United States furnishes a number of poles worth mentioning. Portland Sees Alaskan Trade. After a large amount of money has been spent engineering for the proposed Harriman railroad line between Portland, Tacoma, and Seattle, it has been found that all three cities must be entered through tunnels, each mile or more in length, in order to give the line easy grades. Plans for all three tunnels have been completed by the engineers. The entire line and terminals have been laid out with a view to fast tracks 'and heavy tonnage and it is proposed to reduce to an exact science the transportation of people and freight between these cities. It is said the improvement of rail facilities by the1 four lines contro'led by Hrrriman and Hill between Oregon and Washington centers, will have the effect of grea'ly benefitting all the country tributary ta them and equally assist in the growth of the three large cities, while giving neither one any special trade advantage. Portland claims that she will be placed on a better footing for Alaska business by transshipment at Seattle when there are two fast and compet itivc railroad lines operating between it and the sound. The present train service upon which this business must rely will be at least doubled, and it is reasonable to expect various con cessions that will be of material as sistance in handling Alaska business from Portland. The line means that Portland will have a new double track railroad bridge ' or that the present steel bridge will be, rebuilt, with a widen ing of the east aproach, to give easy access to the main line through the tunnel that is to start into the hill near the Jack Mcko residence. The tunnel will be approximately one mile. long and will be a common user tunnel. Will Disfranchise Negroes. The so-called negro disfranchise ment bill was passed by the Senate at Atlanta, Ga., Wednesday, by vote of 37 to G. The bill will go to the House for action Friday. The bill, which .closely follows the Alabama law, provides that in order to vote a man must own or pay taxes on $500 worth of property or be able to read and write a paragraph of the state or, federal Constitution, or he mus be descended froim a man who has fought in any wr in which the United States or the Confederate states have been engaged, or he must have a proper conception of his duty to the s'tate and the Nation. The adoption of the bill by the Lower House is said to be certain, and it follows the recommendation of Governor Hoke Smith in his inaugural message. Singing' Contest at Winona.

It is believed that the Caleb Powers case will be continued until the No vember terra of-court No move ment was made Thursday toward se curing a special judge to succeed Judge J. E. Robbins by the prosecu tion. Attorneys for the defense have written a letter o Governor Beck ham, who is at .Bardstown, asking him to appoint a judge so tie tria can proceed, but i action has yet been taken . , Powers and those of his caunse who are still there held a conference 1 ' 1 and are preparing .a hot reply to the statements made by Judge Robbins when he was vacating the bench They refuse to state of what the reply will consist, but will likely give i out Saturday. Attorneys for the prosecution have all left here and will not return unti a new judge is named. Powers seems much cast down over the death of "Tallow Dick" Combs who was killed by a train Wednes day night. Combs was once charged with the Goebel murder, and was al leged to have been threatened by Col Thomas C. Campbell of the prosecu tion if he did not testify the way Campbell wanted., Combs also al leged that he accused Henry Yout sey of killing Goebel. while both were in jail and Yonitsey did not deny it Judge N. J. Saufley of Stanford is strongly tipped for the special judge ship. Valparaiso ' School Commencement The annual commencement exer cises of Valparaiso University Thürs day night were attended by fully 3,000 persons. The exercises were held in the auditorium. The entire commencement pro gram is regarded as the most successful ever given. The banquet givon on the night before was attended by a larger crowd than had been ex pected. The commencement address was delivered by William Lowe Bryan, president of Indiana University Aside from the regular address there was an elaborate musical program Musical numbers were given by Prof. August Wolf and Mrs. J. N. Roc. Degrees were conferred on 320 graduates by H. B. Brawn, president of the university. This was an tin usually large number for degrees. There were 1,100 graduates in the va rious departments. The year just closed has been one of the most successful in the history of the university. The total enrollment during the year amounted to 4,783. The work in all departments has been highly successful. Of the graduates this year Indiana furnished 320. Every state in the union fur nished one or more graduates. Nearly two hundred students pass ed through Plymouth on their way home Friday. To Enlarge Hospital. Governor - Hanly has come to the aid of the Northern Indiana Hospital for the insane and authorized the ex penditure out of his contingent fund of a sum not to exceed $8,000 to take care of the overflow population of that institution. It seems that the general assembly of 1905 made some appropriation for the institution, part of which was available in 190G and part in 1907. At the time the appropriation was made it was thought sufficient to build the addition necessary to take care of the inmatei. But by the iitre the second half of the 1905 appropriation became avail able this year prices of material had advanced to such an extent that -he additions :ould not be completed. Tents were resorted to and the managers were unable to make further provisions, lo relieve this condition the governor has offered the expen diture of not to exceed $8,000 out of the contingent fund at his disposal. Over $10O00 remains in this fund. Hanly Takes Issue. Governor Hanly addressing the Chautauqua, took issue Wednesday with Senator Beveridge on the lat her's child labor views'. He disagreed with President Roosevelt's inheri tance tax ideas and the. proposition of the federal government to take charge of the affairs of the states. He upheld the sovereignty of the states and said that they and not the nation should solve the problems up for solution! He believes in the pur ity oif Roosevelt's purpose and greatness, but said even the president was not infallible. Hanly favors an inher itance tax, but not as the president proposed. South Bend Times.

Gives Strike Warning. A strike oif the employes of the Pittsburg Coal company, involving 15,000 men, is expected any moment. District President Feehan has given notice that a general strike at every mine of the company in the Pittsburg district would be calied before the end of the week. Feehan has authority to call the strike when he deems best.'. The decision to call the strike was made at a meeting of the executive board of district No. 5. President Freehan declares he will not seek a conference with the company, nor would he wait very long for an advance from the. other side. The present trouble is the result of disputes at four of the company's mines Ranning Nos. 1 and 2;' Wick Haven and Barr. The violations of the scale charged by the mine workers are that the eight hour clause is not being lived up to; that the dead

work scale .is not paid and that the x hrri- ntt .VTv,., a . v oserved. . obse A diverting feature of the situation was the announcement by Gov. Stuart at Harrisburg, of the appointment of General Manager Schleuderberg, of the Pittsburg Coal Company, and President' Freehan on the same commission for the revision of the bituminous mine laws of Pennsylvania. About 100 employes of the docks and marine ways at Elizabeth, T2 miles fronv Pittsburg, went out on strike early Thursday for shorter hours. The men are employed by the Monongahela River Consolidated Coil and Coke company and demanded eight1 hours a day in place of nine hours as heretofore. The men on strike include carpenters and corkers. Powers Case Judge Leaves Bench. Judge J. E. Robbins, in a written decision, wliich h read in open court Wednesday,; vacated the bench in the Caleb Powers case, at Georgetown, Ky. . His decision followed the filing of an affidavit by Powers, alleging that Judge Robbins was prejudiced, and could not give him a fair trial. The conclusion caused astonishment in the1 camp of the prosecution, and was a great surprise to the defense. Judge Roobins took up each allegation of Powers and denied specifically that they were true, but said that it was too late to mar his record as judge by sitting in a case when he was accused of unfairness. Judge Robbins asserted that the statement to the effect that he had said after the last trial that they were all guilty and should be hanged was utterly false. He said his political affiliations would not influence him against the defendant, but that he was a Democrat, and had been a Democratic . officeholder. Silence was maintained in the crowded" courtroom while the judge read his opinion, and his vacating the bench came as a complete surprise to the spectators. Immediately after he left the bench people rose in their seats and began a disturbance-that was quieted by the sheriff. Judge Robbins said the affidavit of Powers was unsupported, but that he would not serve under the circumstances. After leaving the bench he asked the clerk to nostify the Governor, and the attorneys retired in an effort to agree on another judge. Rose on the Apple. Tree, Residents- of Bradford, Vermont, are greatlyi interested in a freak of nature seen on the premises of Capt P. S. Chamberlain. Horticulturists are unable to account for it, although several have advanced theories. In his apple orchard Captain Cham berlain has: a tree of fine greenings now about, the size of a bantam's eggs. They grow in clusters, as well ordered apples do, and are highly prized by their owner, whof has etil tivated the tree until the fruit eventu ally grows to fine size and firmness. A few mornings ago the captain was looking over his orchard when he saw what he took to be a rose blooming on the very tip of alimb on the greening tree. He could scarce believe his 'eyes, sol he got a ladder and made a closer examination. Sure enough the rose was there, and just back of it was a cluster of rose leaves set amid thorns. Beside the blooming rose there was a. half-developed bud and before it a cluster of apples. How the rose seej got into the tree and whence it came are the questions bothering the cap tain and the neighbors. Sees No Hope for Cubans. Gen.

Peter McQueen, writer, war correspondent and close friend of President Rosevelt, in an interview at Ottumwa, la., made the statement that the president should be king of she United States. McQueen denounced selfgovernment such as exists in the United States today. "The facts are, a small percentage of the people of any country really know what self-government is," he said. "What da I want to vote for any governor, senator, or any one else for? It docs me no goad. Times are better for nii with Republicans in the offices than if Democrats were, and I am just one of millions. "If a man wants to be senator he offers his price and he is senator. I have to pay just as much railroad fare if one man is in as if another is chosen. I tell you, what the American people nee'd is a king. No country. could ever have a better one. He is a grand man and -the nation never can have a better man at its head. 'I'd rather be broke in any country in the world than in my own. The men of England and the United States are the most arrogant in the world and the women are the most overbearing. "Americans as a people rave over conditions in other countries, but there is no country in the world that grinds the working masses and wor ships wealth more thair my own. There rs not a more arrogant race in the world than in the .United States and not a race of women more. overbearing and self-conscious than the American beauiies and their mothers ' and aunts."
