WANT PARTY OF TODAY.

-
It is interesting to read the differ
emit comments in the party press or
Parker : speech Of acceptance. The
New York World, for instance, says
ii Is one of the most learned docu-
ments that llas ever bcen penned. On
the other hand the New York Tribune
says that Parker succeeded in talking
4 long time and successfully avoided
saving anything at all.
1t IL to be noticed that the Demo
cratic nominee. along with all his
party orators, managed to refer to
Thomas Jefferson. They all seem to
take pride inlsnying that the Demo
crat party has the same principles.-and
is working along the same lines as did
Jefferson. Without belittling that

greatest in his time, we would suggest
that the Democrats let up a little on
this argument and tell the voters that

Jefferson successfully met all the
great questions Of the hour when he
wal leader. He governed the country
wisely and through his influence the
great Louisiana purchase was made.
But hisEtime was oyera century ago.
In his day the fastest travel was on
horseback and Perth Amboy received
Its mail only once q week. This is an

'pAmerican people want is q man at the
head Of the governments who is ready
to meet the Issue of>the hour, who
: can keep abreast with progress
and not wait to look up history to see
7 what Jefferson did. Jefferson never
dreamed OF sach problems as now
present themselves to the chief execu-
tive of this nation. 1t is the party of
today the country wants, not the
party Of jefferson = time.
There is s6ch d thing as being too

platform. At the sans time tile Gen.
trail train, known as the scoot,
from South Amboy, was approaching
from the south. Which Of these two
trains had the right OF way upon ap-
preaching the station we do not know,
but we do know that one elderly
gentleman came near losing his life
aud but for the timely warming of an.
other passenger, who happened to sec
the "scoot'' approaching. for it could
not be heard. he would lave stepped
to the edge OF the platform and been
struck. The gentleman went to the
person who had warned him. aftars
ward. aud thanked him. saying thai
no surely would havo been hit al.
though he had worked on the railroad
all his life. He said the tanner in
whien The ~''scoot'' sneaked up to the
station was one of the most dangerous
pieces of business he had eve seen.
1t seemed to te q clear case of the
Central train trying to CUT the Penn
sylvania out. The Inter was on the
far track frdpi che station, while tn,
'sccot'' was next to tile platform,
making the trick II II can be called
one, all the more dangerous. Judging
from the way the fireman on the
'"scoot" turned around and laughed at
the crowd, 1t is evident he thought
his train had accomplished q big
thing, keeping the Pennsylvania train
waiting until .they got away. The
Central may have lad the right Of
way, but 1t should have given some
warning of its approach. One of the
trains should have stopped before
reaching the station, and, as seen
from q passengers view, that train
should have been the Central.
The following Is worth thinking
over twice:

TRIAL IN PROGRESS
The Gillespie Case Is Now Before the
Court

Rising Sun, Ind, May 10.-The trial
of James Gillespie, Myron L. Barbour,
Carrie Barbour and Mrs. Belle Sc
ward for the murder of Elizabeth Gill
lespie last December has begun
Judge George E. Downey is presiding
Extraordinary care is being taken in
the selection of a trial jury. The
probabilities are strong that the spe-
cial venire of fifty men will be ex-
hausted before jury is secured.
Two important witnesses for the
state are absent. Robert Gillespie,
brother of the defendant, left over a
week ago and is visiting relatives at
Marshfield, Ohio. He says he is going
to California. The prosecution state
that they would prove by him that the
defendant had threatened his sister
repeatedly. Another important wit
ness is George Grace of Cincinnati,
who has recently secured a position
in Pittsburg. Grace formerly resided
in Rising Sun and was a friend of the
defendant. 1t is thought that Grace
will yet be secured to testify. AS it
has been decided to try all Of the four
defendants together, much difficulty is
experienced in getting a jury. Two
OF the dctandants are women and
most Of those examined yes erday
were opposed to hanging women.
Among the counsel from other coun-
ties is Henry Spann of Indianapolis,
who assists the prosecution, and Con
gresham Marian Griffith of Vevay,
who assists local attorneys for the
defense.

today identlcally as it was first seen
and around it stand a guard of twenty

Osaka plant of the Virginia Coal and
Iron company. The body has not
been disturbed in any way and will
not be until D. B. Wentz and ]. l..

Kilgore communicated with = F. Bull
lit at Bigstone Gap, shortly before
dark Sunday evening, and forthwith
a party headed BY Mr.. Bullitt started
for the scene. some twelve miles dis
tant. They arrived shortly after II
O'Clock and at once stretched ropes
around the body, enclosing it in a
thirty-foot square, and placed a guard,
which was not relieved until after
daylight.
AS no examination of the body has
been made, little SO far has been
learned as to the cause of his DEATH
All seem to agree that he was shot,
but whether it was suicide or murder
is the question. Two of his front
teeth are gone, presumably shot out,
while holes. thought to be bullet holes,
are found through the coat and vest
just below the ribs on the left side.
The place in which the body lies has
been recently burned off by forest
fires, and the dead mans hair and
clothing is scorched. The body is ly-
ing about thirty feet from the noun
tain path and is now easily seen for
hundred feet. Last fall when the
searching party was held, the spot
was hidden by underground and
leaves. The color of the clothing is
so much like that of the logs upon
which the head rests that the search
ers failed to find VENT last fall,
though they passed within twenty feet
of him. Numbers of men recently
have passed near the spot without dis
covering the body, though from all
appearances it has lain there all the
time.

Preparations For National
Peace Congress In Boston
In October.
A GROWING MOVEMENT
The Nations of the World Beginning
to Realize the IncaIculabEe Folly
OF War.
Preliminary Meeting Held In New
York Brings Out Some Views
on II.

New York, May 10.-To promote
interest in the 38th national peace
congress to be held in Boston next
October, meeting was held here
Oscar S. Strauss in opening the meet
ing referred to the first peace meeting
of Importance held in this country, in
Boston in 1915. He then spoke of The
Hague tribunal and said in the long
run its work would serve to stop all
wars. Of the Russo-Japanese war he
said the question at issue between the
two nations was ore which could not
be submitted to The Hague for arbi-
tration, although The Hague may
have to be asked to step in when the
war is over The robber principle
that to the victor belongs the spoils
nations will no longer submit to, he
declared.
Edwin d. Med, chairman Of the ex-
ecutive committee of the 1nternation-
al peace conference, said the move
ment for peace was rapidly increasing
in power throughout the world. 1t
was a disgrace to America and to
England to be adding to their war
equipment while little countries like
Chile and Argentina were doing away
with their ornaments.
The speaker closed by saying that
the sentiment for peace in France
was ahead of that in England and the
United States.
Robert Treat Paine, president of
the American Peace society Of Boston,
said that with the proposed increase
in the United States navy the annual
cost of maintenance would be approx
imately three hundred millions. This,
he said, would be $10O,00000O more
than it cost for the entire free educa-
tional system of the United States.
Such a conditioned a fairs was iGeeor
-refvable folly.
Committees were named to enter
tain delegates to the Boston conven-
ton as they pass through this city
The Boston meeting will be the first
peace conference iii this country since
the Chicago congress in 1898.

Hearst candidate for permanent
chairman Of the Democratic conven-
ton here Thursday. He will also be
a candidate for delegate at large. 1t
is not liz that Judge McCabe will
be elected presiding officer, however,
unless tho other side is badly mis-
taken in it's estimate of it's strength.
The Taggart selection for permanent
chairman is Alonzo Greene Smith, for
mer attorney general, who ruled the

sion of 1887 with such an iron hand
that he earned a lasting reputation.
It Is being charged that the Taggart
forces want him for chairman because

Les Angeles, Cal May 10.-The at
titude of the Roman Catholic church
toward the public school system of the
United States furnished the subject
of a sensationcl debate in the Meth
odist general conference. While
part of certain delegates to have the
conference adopt resolutions commit
ting it to eXtrome utterances upon the
subject, there was an overwhelming
sentiment, as it developed, against
any such acton, and the entire matter
was finally disposed Of by referring it
to committee, from which it is I'M
likely ever to be reported.

upon the subjects of divorce, the ter

DR.. King read extracts from a letter
written by Vicar General Peter Har-
nett of the Roman Catholic diocese of
Monterey and Los Angeles, in which
the latter sought to refute the state

from the Episcopal address. DR.. King
then spoke at length in support of the
resolution.
When DR.. King had finished there
was commotion among the delegates.
Many sought to gain recognition from
the chair in order to reply. Charles
B. Lohr, chief Justice of the Delaware
supreme court, lay delegates, was rec
ognized.
After agreeing with DR.. King re-
garding the public schools, Justice
Lohr continued: "But are we to gain
anything by any, phase of denuncia-
ton against any other Christian body?

This expression was received with
applause by the delegates and the gal
leries.
A motion by DR.. S. T. Boiler to re-
fer the resolution to the committee
on the state of the church was car
ried. In the opinion of many prom
inent delegates this disposes of the
matter finally. Judge Sibley of Ohio
offered an important resolution on the
subject of divorce. He wanted Para
