Jones, of Rockville, Md She leaves two
brothers, Joseph Thomas Griffith, Internal
Revenue Assessor, who resides at Berryville,
Clarke county, Va, and Francis M. Griffith,
Of Beallsville, this county. In about six
weeks more, had she lived that long, she
would have attained the age of So years.
Her mother died at the advanced age of SO
years, month and days.
1t can truly be said of her, "Verily, verify,
she hath done what she could" For nearly

She was first baptized into the fellow

A Fatal Fire.-A fire on Thursday
night of last week at the residence of Mr.. B.
81. Fowle, OF Kenslngton, this county, very
seriously burned Mrs. Fowle and the two
youngest children Of the family, and did
considerable damage to the dwelling, the
property Of Mrs. Mary E. Constant, of Wash
ington. The alarm was sounded and the
citizens generally responded promptly.
The fire is said to have originated from q
lighted candle carried by one of the boys of
the family. 1t is thought the lace curtains
took fire first. The two children who were in =.
jured were asleep in the room where the
boy had taken candle to get some apples,
and not until the boy had returned 10 the
lower part Of the house did he know there
was fire. The screaming of the two
children attracted his attention, and he
quickly ran upstairs. Seeing the flames he
went after his mother, and she, rushing,
into the burning room, caught up the two
children and carried them out, and later
they were removed to the home of Mr.. and
Mrs l.. II. Milliken, just across the street.
All three of the injured persons were hor-
ribly burned.
Mr.. Fowle was at the time in Washing
ton on business. He could not be reached
by wire and did not return until after the
fire had been extinguished and the wounds
Of his wife and children had been dressed
The damage to building and furniture is
estimated at about $4,000.
The two children of Mr.. and Mrs. Fowle,
who were so horribly burned, have since
died. The Oldest, James Johnston Fowle,
died Friday, and the other, John Dorsey
Fowle, Saturday morning about o'clock.
James was Q years and months old, and
little hope was entertained for his recovery
by the attending physicians from the time
Of the accident, the extent of his injuries
being so great as to be beyond the aid OF
medical skill.
The other boy, John, eight months old,
was not at the time thought to be so seri.
ously injured, but owing doubtless to his
tender age he died from the effects of the
burns, as stated, at 3 O'Clock Saturday morn.
ing.
Mrs. Fowle, who was also badly burned
In rescuing her children from the flames, is
reported to be In a critical condition.

In sad and loving remembrance of oul
darling son, Grove, who was killed by the
accidental discharge of his own gun No
vember Both, 1890, youngest son OF W. II
and Louise Page.
Gone in the best of his days,
Blighted In manhoOd's bloom,
Torn from the hearts that loved him
To sleep in the silent tomb,
He left memory so fair and sweet,
Its fragrance never can die,
His life was brief, yet still com plete,
When he was called on high.
Farewell, Grove, may your slumber
BE as gentle as your love,
And when God will call US homeward,
May we meet In heaven above.
He has gone to meet his dear sister and
brother. His loving parents.

FRANCIS MOORE GRIFFITH.
Beallsville, Md, Nov. %, 1908.

On the evening of Friday, October Both
1908, the silent messenger of death crossed
our threshold, and called from earth to life
eternal the loving wife and mother, Mrs
Clara M. Harriss.
We, the husband and children, are left x
mourn her going, and Sadness, In her sabl'
robes, has drawn her cloak around oul
home. A deep sense Of bereavement ha'
settled upon our hearts, and in vain WI
listen for voice that Is stilled, and wait fol
form that comes not again.
Yes, our happy circle is broken; loved
one has passed the portals OF the City Beau
tiful, where freedom from earthly care and
the end of earthly sorrow shall be hers un-
disturbed forever more.
We, the bereaved, must now take up our
load Of care, our daily task, and plod on In
life's exacting way till the voice of the Mas
ter bids US welcome home.
And though the dews Of sadness, from the
spirit distilled, fall like mist upon the be-
reaved heart, through the riits In the cloudf
shines the emblem of Gods eternal prom.
ises, and relying upon the strong arm of His
hope, we take courage and look beyond to
the contamination of a happy meeting In
that better land.

A Campaign of Education. F."

We are learning something about a cam
paign of education in Great Britain on the
tariff question. That has a familiar sound
on this side of the water. We had a cam
paign of that kind on the same question
ourselves and il was lively while 1t lasted.
Some of the features of it will not soon be
forgotten.
1t was in 1876 that the free traders over
here began with real vigor the crusade that
eliminated in the triumph of 1892. Protec-
ton as policy was distinctly challenged
and the proposition brought forward to re-
duce the tariff to revenue basis. No
more protection, even an incident The
policy must go. Free trade lost in the dis
puted presidential result of that year. 1t
lost four years later under General Han
cocks leadership and although 1t appeared
TO win in 1884 with Mr.. Cleveland nothing
came of the victory. He made no sign on
the subject untiS-Oecember, 1887, and then
made a fiasco The next year he failed at
the polls.
In 1892 the country voted the democracy
back into power on a platform which was
a pronounced declaration in favor of a rev.
enue tariff. The free traders were jubilant.
Their Campaign of education had at last
been crowned, they claimed with rnquali-
fled success. Here. at last, was a commits

scale, The enormous American areas are
something more than mere expanses BY
reason of these vast spaces this country
includes remarkable range of climate and
resources. 1t affords the most alluring bid
the world knows today for homeseekers
and fortune makers Our vastness is not
only a present actually, but vital po-
tentiality Taking scores of thousands OF
Europeans into itself every month and alb
sorbing them as easily, thus far, as does
hearty man a heavy meal, it spreads
them over this "vastness" and they con-
tribute to the development of the possibili-
ties of the land. The immigration to the
United States furnishes factor which no
other country possesses, that factor which
the Spectator overlooks when 1t doubts the
possibility of great masses exerting as pow
erful an influence upon the world as
smaller, more compact bodies.
1t is at this stage of the case out of the
question to compare the United States in
this respect of "vastnesS with South
America, a collection of badly organized
Independent units, handicapped by gem
erations of reaction and incapacity. There
also Is lacking the essential factor for
Transforming size into power which here Is
supplied by the extraordinary mixture OF
peoples and the participation or all classes
and races in the management of domestic
affairs. Our ''vastness'' is therefore not so
much geographical, or agricultural. or min
eral, or meteorological, as it is sociological
We have the capacity to grow enormously
and yet to concentrate ourselves Ameri-
can expansion has not yet, and there IS
no reason to believe that it will be, con-
ducive to a diffusion of effort and scat
terng of forces. The day may come when
this vast community will become unwieldy
when 1t can no longer absorb additional
European material, when it can develop no
further resources, when it must struggle
to care for itself. But there is nothing in
view now, ever so family, to suggest the
advent of that time.
Mr.. Carnegie doubtless has shrewder
conception of the real value of "vastness
as a world factor than has the average
European, who lacks the experience with
enormous factors in the handling of which
this Scotch-American, himself an exponent
of what the United States does for and
with it's new material, has become one or
the great individual world powers.

time-honored phrase, is history. No Sc

leaders in Congress to obey any such man

of free trade agitation satisfied the country

swept the deck, and is now so strongly in

heard. even from it's ancient enemies. of
overturning 1t.

Children in the Mills.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

If the strike of the textile opera tives
should have no other good result than
that of attracting public attention to the
evils of the too early employment of child
labor in the factories, much will have been
accomplished by 1t. From third to a
fourth it is estimated, of the workers in
the mills of this city are children of ten
der age, boys and girls, many of whom
are really younger than the age limit fixed
by law, which is thirteen years 1t would
be manifestly unjust to the employers or
to their superintendent even, to hold
them at all responsible for employing chill
dren under the legal age. If their humane
sentiments would not prevent them en-
ploying children who are barred from the
mills by the law, they would not knowingly
do it lest the penalty for disregarding the
law should be imposed upon them The
parents and guardians are responsible for
the children of unlicensed age working in
the factories when instead they should be
in school or at play. The parents or guar
dams as has been shown recently, in nu-
merous instances make false certificat ton
of the ages of their children, excusing
themselves for so doing on the plea of
poverty. They allege they need the wages
earned by these premature toilers. There
is nothing valid in that excuse, and the
severest penalties should be imposed upon
all who give such false certificates

Mr.. Carnegie on American "Vastness

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has recently been
telling English interviewers some plain
truths about the actual menace of the
American states to.the commercial welfare
OF Europe His words have evidently
struck home. despite the efforts of some
of the conservative London journals TO
discount them. The Spectator in a recent
issue undertook to upset his argument that
the 'vastness'' of the United States il A
distinct menace to Europe Mr. Carnegie
called attention to- the fact that even
though the European states were to comz
bine they would not suffice territorially
TO compete with the United States The
Spectator bases its rejoinder upon this re
duction of the case to what it terms mere
geographical proportion. 1t thinks that
MIR. Carnegie is misled by considerations of
size, and AYERS that history teaches that
the worlds greatest political and com
mercial factors have often been circum-
scribed in area, while geographically great
nations do not even today cut as much fig
ure In the worlds affairs as do smaller
ones. 1t instances the disparity in world
influence between China and Japan. and
sets Germany up against greater Russia.
while 1t smugly intimates that the right
little. tight little island can still make
good as political or commercial factor
The Spectator concludes:
The little states OF Europe may yet
develop concentrated energy, a perfec-
ton OF organization, a superiority to the
physical obstacles of space and time which
will suffice to maintain their place In the
world and enable them, even in material
things to fear no rivalry. After all II
bigness and multitude count for so very
much In material development, Asia ought
to be far stronger than Europe, and South
America TO be able to maintain toward the
Union an attitude of kindly patronage. In
stead. she has TO submit to the Monroe
doctrine and to some at least of it's logi-
cal consequences, one of which is acknowl-
edgment of superior force lodged in her
smaller protector in the north"

Mr. Carnegie's meaning when he used the
word 'vastness." Perhaps 1T has not meas

Refusing the Vice Presidency.

The following bears a New YORK date
line of Saturday:
Gov. Yates of Illinois sailed for Europe
on the Umbria today. Before SAILING ne
said he had not come out personally as q
candidate for reelection. He said the pub
lished announcement that he had had come
from his friends. In reply to the question
whether he would accept the candidacy OF
Vice President on a Roosevelt ticket, as
has been suggested. he replied:
No | would not. There Is only one po-
stion which l consider higher than being
governor of Illinois. / think that answers
the question.
1t Is idle for any man to declare that he
would refuse to obey his party's command
as to the vice presidency. Such step
would cost even the strongest man dearly.
on that account some of the foremost men
in our affairs have hesitated to decline 1t.
In 1884 General Logan, who for ten years
had been a presidential quantity, was
drafted for second place on the ticket with
a man whom he did not like and four years
before had opposed for his party's leader
ship. The same year Mr.. Hendricks. who
had been presidential quantity for sixteen
years, was drafted by his party for second
place on the ticket with a man who but
three years before was unknown outside of
the city of Buffalo In 1888 Judge Thur
man. one of his party's strongest and most
attractive leaders, was drafted for second
place on the ticket with this same man.
The case of Mr.. Roosevelt three years ago
has been the subject of some dispute. but
the facts have never warranted 1t. They
are plain enough. Mr.. Roosevelt did not
desire the vice presidential nomination, but
was figuring on first place in 1904. His pro-
gram included a try for reelection to the
governorship of New York. and strengthen
ing himself with the country by that means.
But his personality had made such an i'm
preston the people that the rank and
file of his party overruled his own plans
and wishes and demanded the use of his
name in the national contest Predictions
were numerous and frequent that he would
refuse the nomination if made. The Star.
almost alone among the eastern news
papers, took and held the ground not only
that Mr.. Roosevelt would be nominated, but
would accept. 1t felt certain that he could
not afford to refuse and was too sagacious
man and too good a republican to take
the wrong course.
The republicans by their latest selections
for second place have taught both them
selves and the opposition a lesson. Mr..
Hobart in 1896 brought strength to the
party's council board. Mr.. Roosevelt in
1900 brought strength to the ticket, and
later proved a blessing to his party when
death called him to the White House. The
second place is not going begging next
year. and we may all be very certain that
no man will refuse 1t.

A Noiseless Fourth,
From the Toledo Blade


Several cities are endeavoring to arrange
matters SO that the Fourth of July will
be free from crackers, bombs, pistol shoot
Ing and the other forms of noise making
which create pandemonium at each re-
currence of the nations natal day. Had
the grave and reverend fathers of the
city no one to deal with but the adult popu-
lation. that highly desirable result. a
noiseless celebration would be reasonably
easy of accomplishment. But the small
boy is the factor which must be dealt with.
To him the day is not the Fourth unless
he can make all the noise possible. with
all the crackers and other din-producng
combinations of villainous saltpetre which
his boarded nickels will enable him to pur-
chase. This much can be DONE The ex-
uberance of the boys can be curbed until
the day itself. There is neither rhyme nor
reason in allowing fizzing and popping in
the streets for several weeks before the
Fourth Keep the boy in order until the
day itself. and then allow him to do his
part in celebrating the anniversary, as
