RICHMOND. Va, June 20.-In Grayson
county, Saturday, Arthur wsddill, sged
eight, enticed Bette Hampton, aged three
into the woods. beat her head into a jelly
with a stone, and hid her body in a hole
under a tree. After two days searching
for the child by the family and neighbors
the boy confessed to having killed her and
took the searchers to the spot, where they
found her body carefully covered With
chips and brush.
The boy was bound over some years ago
to Captain Fulton, of Grayson, by the poor
house officials, and ever since has shown
great depravity and a disposition to do
evil. He is now in Jail, and gives ss his
reason for killing the little girl that her
mother made him mad. He is enmrely
unconcerned, and does not seem to ap-
preciate the c7ormity of his crime.

GOV. ROOSEVELT'S ANCESTRY,

Whatever else may be said of the ver-
satile and accomplished governor of the
Empire state, ne is and always has been
an American of the Americans. Both
by heredity and environment he has been
qualified to become the advocate and
exemplifier of a true democracy, and in
the interests of the principles that hi has
always cherished, he has sometimes been
Known to 'get up his Dutch ia
On his fathers side he has been in this
country over two hundred and fifty
years. for Klaas Martensen Roosevelt
came to e Netherlands in 1912, and at
once took his position among the good
people of that province. In the historic
Leislerian days, S. Nicholas Roosevelt
was a prominent alderman of the popu-
lar faction. and after Johannes and ia
cobus Roosevelt, James I. Roosevelt was
a captain of the New York state troops
in the revolution. At this time promin-
ent Dutch families like the Bogerts, the
Van Schaicks. the Verplanks, the Van
Dykes and the Schuylers were recog-
nized as related to the ~redoubtable cap
tain by marriage. A later Cornelius Van
Schaick Roosevelt, possibly a son of
James l., married Margaret Bornhill, a
lady of Scotch-Irish stock, whose grand
father had been a member of the Con-
t~inental Congress.
There are some rumors abroad that
the Dutch are not now quite such a pre-
dominent element in New York society
and politics as they were during the

tribe Of murderous Tagals, who have
sine become the political wards ef@the
democracy. The Montana volunteers
have had no occasion since their return
to note any evidence of democratic ap-
probation of their services in Luzon, or
the toll and hardship n danger they
faced. How many of them a v received
mention in the local political platforms
of the democratic party? How many of
them are on democratic county tickets?
What interest has the democratic pfesk
taken in their material welfare, or ii
what way has it benefited them by keep
ing alive a sense of public gratitude as
to their self-sacrifice? 1t is the repub-
lican party alone that has shown any
disposition to recognize the returned
volunteers and appreciate their devotion
to the government in the Desperate hght.
ing in Luzon during the early days OF
the Tagal uprising.

II VOLUNTEERS.

While the attitude of the democratic
party toward the volunteers who went
to the Philippines is one of apathy or OPP
position, and while the organs of Bryan
openly charge that they were engaged
in an unholy war and gay their SER
vices for the suppression of freedom,
let us remember what Mckinley said to
a regiment of returned volunteers in
North Dakota:
The government to which you gave
your love and loyalty welcomes you to
your homes. With no blot or stain upon
your record, the story of your unselfish
service to country and to civilization will
be, to the men who take your places at
the front and on the firing line, and to
future generations, an example of pa
triotism and an inspiration to duty.
There are many hundreds of returned
volunteers in Montana. They all know
how Bryan has sought all over the
try to belittle their work, to misrepre-
sent their purposes, and to create preju-
dice against the government itself who's
honor and whose interests they fought
to preserve against the rebellion of a
