sonable and fair. When Bryan made
the fight that aligned the Democracy
with the forces of socialism he received
only opposition and contempt from the
Cleveland wing of the party. He bore
the heat. burden and defeat of the day
of the two days. in fact--ind it would
indeed be scurvy treatment were his fell

carried his party's standard more votes
among the people than Cleveland polled
at either of the elections which placed
him in the presidential chair. The last
man who ought to stand before an aud

William Jennings Bryan, therefore, is
Grover Cleveland. We are glad that
William Jennings has the spunk to sass

keep up the row until both shall have

On tho Death of Good Woman.

ness vary. TO some is given spe-
Il cial fitness for strenuous public
endeavor and to others capacity
for quiet effectiveness in Ways not all
ways seen. Society has room ana work
for all, with each filling the place al
loted.
Notice Is oftener given and award OF
appreciation made to those conspi,u
Gus in the public eye but it is we'll
Also to think of those who do worthily
what falls to the lot of humber mis-
sions. Death in our community has
just ended good woman's career and
though in the ordering of that career
there was no seeking OF prominence
yet 1t is not amiss to note the kindly
seG-sacriiice the gentle graciousness
and the unobtrusive piety which char
acterized 1t throughout the relations OF
sweetheart, wife. mother and friend.
A rational view of life and it's values
must accord the highest honor to the
woman who bears fittingly and sweetly
the burdens and performs properly the
duties of home-making and mother

Manila, Aptil Mojor Littletown
W. T. Waller, of the marine corps,
at today's session of the court-mar.
tial by which he is being tried on the
charge OF executing natives of Samar
without trial, testified in rebuttal OF
the evidence given yesterday by Cen
eral Jacob Fl. Smith, who commanded
the American troops In the island of
Samar. He declared that General
Smith instructed him to kill and burn.
said that the more he killed and burn
the better pleased he would be: that
IL was no time to take prisoners and
that he was TO make Samar howling
wilderness. Major Waller asked Gen
eral Smith to define the age limit for
killing and he replied everything
over TO-" The major repeated this
order to Captain Porter, saying: 1--WE
no not make war thatway on old linen,
women and children"
Captain David d. Porter, Captain
Hiram Berss and Lieutenant frank
Halford, all of the marine corps, tes-
titled corroboratively.
The defense requested that a sub
poena be served on the adiutant gen.
eral, demanding the production of the
records of the massacre at Balangiga
of the detachment of the Ninth infant
ny in order to refute the statement of
General Smith to the effect that the
attack on the troops was made ac-
cording to the laws. of war, The re-

President Roosevelt desires TO avail

TO CHANGE THE DATE
A Movement to Postpone the Inau
guratiOn


Washington, April THE agita-
tion in favor of changing the date of
inauguration of the president from the
4th OF March to the latter part of
April received an impetus today at
the meeting of the national committee
having the proposition under consid-
GRAFTON. The change has been advo-
Gated mainly owing to the inclemency
OF the weather of early March.
Most of the governors of the states
and territories accepted services on
the committee and the letters received
from them generally showed a desire
for change in the inauguration date.
The meeting was presided over by
District Commits ssioner Henry B. F..
MacFarland. There was large rep
resentation of the local members Of
the committee who had served on the
last inaugural committee, and there
were also present Governor Hill, of
Maine; Colonel George L. Morton,
chief of staff to the governor of North
Carolina, representing the governor;
Representative T. C. McRae, of Ar
kansas. representing the governor of
Arkansas, and Representative Ben
ton, representing the governor of Mis-
souri,. Mr. MacFarlan1 gave brief
historical review ofthe movement for a
change in the date, emphasizing the
unanimity of sentiment regarding it
and its national character. He re-
called that the senate of the United
States had passed Mr.. Hoar's resolu-
tion providing for the last Thursday
in April as the Inauguration day.
1t was agreed that the. chairman
should appoint an executive commit
tee, and such other committees as
might be necessary. 1t was resolved
as the sense of the committee that the
date OF the Inauguration day should
be changed from the 4th of March to
the last Thursday in April, but that
no particular bill or resolution should
be advocated. Incidentally, the ques-
tion of the extension OF the term of
congress- was considered and. it was
agreed that this committee had moth
ing to do with the question of when
congress should adjourn. The propo-
stion to fix the Both day of April was
considered, but received no support,
because it was felt that it was better to
name day of the week rather than a
day of the month; day that would
come always in the middle of the
week, so as to avoid Sunday. The
committee was unanimously in favor
of the last Thursday in April.
