Slavery And Freedom.

WASHINGTON CONNOR. Washington E. Connor, who figured prominently in Wall Street affairs for many years, was born in New York, December 15, 1849, and received his education in the public schools of the metropolis. At the age of 22, after having served an apprenticeship as a clerk In a banking house, he became a member of the New York stock exchange. Six years later the firm of Washington E. Connor and Company was formed, with Jay Gould as one of the partners. In many of the great stock market deals with which the name of Jay Gould was associated Mr. Conner participated. Familiar with the railroad and other business in which Jay Gould had taken a leading part, Mr. Connor, long after the death of the noted financier, was frequently commissioned by the Gould heirs to consummate various railroad plans. His association with the Gould intereats continued until his retirement from active business a short time ago.

MASONIC CALENDAR

Friday, Dec. 16, 1911, King Solomon's Chapter, No. 4, R. A. M., called convocation. Work In Royal Arch decree. Refreshments. Saturday, Dec. 16, 1911, Loyal Chapter, No. 0, O. E. S. Stated meeting. Invitation and work in Floral degree.

"We may harmonize here to our hearts' content, but we have got to get the people Into harmony or we won't get the votes, and if we don't get more votes than are apparent now we won't be here any more. We must give the people a voice in the selection as well as the election of candidates. None of us can go back to our states and repudiate the expressed will of the people. It has been suggested that primaries will create a disturbance, but a greater and far more serious disturbance will be created by the people if we do not give them a share in the selection of delegates to this convention. " The above language was used by Senator Borah, of Idaho, when he presented his resolution to the Republican national committee asking for a presidential primary. Is it not true? If Taft is afraid to trust his case to the people before the Republican nomination, what chance has he with the people at election, if he is the nominee? What is the object of all this fight against presidential primaries? What is the objc of all this fight to keep the situation in the hands of a few men, like Senators Smoot, Mormon, representative; Crane, spokesman for Schedule "K"; Penrose, the Big Business tool from Pennsylvania; Scott, the railroad senator from West Virginia; Boss Kealing, the representative of Big Business in Indiana politics? Is it to elect Taft? No! A thousand times, No! Taft cannot he elected. We have yet to hear the first experienced politician, newspaper correspondent or student of public affairs sincerely express the belief that Taft can be elected. Taft himself has abandoned that hope. Why then, the fight? It. is to keep the Republican organization intact and in the power of Special Priveiege. That is the whole fight. It is a fight to prevent the people from gaining control of one of the organizations of one of the great political parties, so that they may restore popular government. It is a fight between Big Business, on the one hand, and the People, on the other band, for an organization that will be very effective to the force that is able to control it. Taft's future is a mere incident, a pawn in the game. He, himself knows it. He is not working for his re-election, for that is out of the question. He is working along with Brother Charley and Nicholas Murray Crane and Boies Penrose and George B. Cox and Boss Kealing and the Indianapolis News to hand the Republican party over to the House of Morgan, which includes such subsidary organizations as the United States Steel corporation, the Pennsylvania railroad, the Woolen Trust, the water power monopoly, and, coming nearer home, the McGowan and Murdock traction interests. Iet. no one be deceived as to this fight. It does not concern men or even parties. It is between the forces of Special Privilege, which have fattened off the people, and the people who have become tired of continued and increasing exploitation. It no more concerns Taft and La Follette, than the fight of 1858 concerned Lincoln and Douglas; that fight was between slavery and freedom. So is this one.

GHOSTS! POSSIBLY; LIGHTS IN CEMETERY

A TOWER OF SKULLS. Arewaame Monument Erected by the Turks In 8ervia. A strange monument of modern barbarism still survives at NIsh, In southeast Servia. During the war of independence In 1800 the Servian garrison here exploded a powder magazine and perished therein rather than fall into the hands of the Turks. A battle had previously taken place, and the Turks commemorated their Tlctory by erecting a rude tower, oraminted with the beads of their enemies. Old people will tell you that there were once 1,300 heads, but as the tower was never more than twenty-five feet high this Is probably an exaggeration. Lamartlne and other travelers relate that they saw hafr still clinging to the skulls, which must have formed a grewsome spectacle. During many years visitors were in the habit of carrying off skulls as souvenirs, but when Nish became Servian the remainder were taken away for decent burial, all save a few that were too deeply Imbedded. In recent years the remains of the tower have been covered over with a roof to protect them against the elements, and they are regarded as a pious object of patriotic pilgrimage. Wide World Magazine.

SILVER LAKE, Ind., Dec. 15. Mysterious lights have been seen moving about the cemetery for several nights. The lights were first seen early in the evening and were noticed flitting from place to place as the night advanced. Thinking there was some mischief afoot a party was formed to Investigate. As they came into the cemetery the lights were seen to move ahead of them, keeping always a distance of several rods away. Nothing was seen that could have caused the lights, yet all saw them plainly. Whether it is the old "will-o'-the-wisp" or some peculiar atmospheric phenomenon is puzzling the local wise acres.

The Desert Land Tortoise. The camel is not the only animal that carries its own water supply. There Is a curious creature in the Pacific states and on the great midland plains which Is quite as wonderfully adapted for desert life as is the camel. This creature is the "desert land tortoise." It is a native of the arid regions of California and Arizona. It possesses a membrane attached to the inner portion of the shell, and this membrane is nearly always filled with water, sometimes as much as a pint It is thought that this water is derived from the giant "barrel cactus," whereon the tortoise feeds.

The Brotherhood of Railway Clerks has appointed a committee to select a suitable site near Cleveland for a large brotherhood farm, wher the unemployed and the aged members of the brotherhood may have a home and at the same time earn their living by farm work.

j 125 railroaders, 71 miners and 135 j miscellaneous workers. Of these i nearly half w ere American born, 70

NEW YORK, Dec. 15. Vincent Bryan, composer of "Please Don't Take Me Home," whose lyrics, rollicking and sentimental, have been caroled for years, lost a wife in exactly two minutes in Justic Erlinger's part of the supreme court. The newest divorcee is Mrs. Rae Selwyn Bryan, sister of Edgar Selwyn, the playwright, and an actress. The giddy whirl of the Country club where he imbibed the atmosphere of "Please Don't Take Me Home;" the nocturnal gayeties of golden lobster palaces and the song writer's forty or more theatrical nymphs of the "I Remember You" variety are responsible Mrs. Bryan said, for the wreck of her eight years of wedded life.

Plenty of nice fresh Oysters at Price's, pint and quart cans or bulk.
