That was the second thing that
brought down upon his head the mall
ediction of Republican bosses.
Third. In that same convention
the Republicans attacked the Watts
Law and made an appeal to the
Liquor Dealers Association for cam
paign funds to help them wipe that
law off the statute books. Judge
Robinson voted for prohibition and
believes in the Watts Law, and when
that declaration WIS made he felt
called upon again to dissent, ana
said:
"I simply arise fer the purpose of
entering my protest to the declara
tion in the platform with reference to
temperance. If country boys insist
on getting drunk, make them come
to town. where the officers of the law
can lock them up. My views on this

titude of blowing cold here anu not

In as much as the Republican cam
paign of the State was to be launchec
upon a whiskey barrel. these remarks
of Judge Robinson gave great oifense
to the bosses of the party, who saw
that the campaign funds would be
SHINING out of their hands unless
something was done, and 1T was be-
lieyed by them that Judge Robinson
decapitation will enable the Scpulh-
can bosses to get Dig campaign funds
and support from the Liquor Dealers
Association.

These three objectionable sins COM
mitted by Judge Robinson are the
three best things that he has ever
done i'm his checkered career. He
would have lost his self-respect ana
the respect of every good man In
North Carolina if he had gone to
Washington city and practiced social
equality. He retained his selt-respect
and the good opinion of Southern peo-
pIe. but he lost prestige as Repuo-
rican leader. and he is kicked out OF
an important position in the party
councils.
Tn the second instance, when ms
party was vilifying and slanderlng, IN
a most wanton and absurd manner
the Governor of the State, a ne1ghbor
of Judge Robinson, the ex-Judge ten-
dorsing none of the Governors pon-
teal views and refraining from ap-
proyal of his administration), stated
what everybody knows to be true, that
the Governor is an honest man. That
simple declaration would have been re-
ceived with cheers in any respectable
body of North Carolinians, but in the
revenue gang, calling itself the Repup-
lican convention, that true statement
was received with Kisses.
The third objectionable sin, warn
ing his party against seeking to make
political capital by making the whls-
key jug it's emblem and staggering TO
the polls in a drunken condition.
would have obtained for Judge Robin
son the approval of any body of high
minded patriots, even if they do not
agree with him. But in the gang in
which he found himself, it was re-
ceiyed with Kisses, and now mas
brought about his political undoing.
The only things that can make
Republican in North Carolina offensive
to the pap-suckers is to be, first,
Southern gentleman; second, to bear
honest testimony; third, to stand for
virtue and temperance.
The treatment of Judge Robinson Is
not exceptional 1t is the rule. one
by one the respectable and honest men
in the Republican party have been
forced out of it or made to take back
seat and it will never receive any re-
cruits from respectable people be-
cause it is today on a lower plane than
ever in the history of the State. The
comment of the secret service man
,,non the Greensboro Republican con-
vention was putting it mildly" when
he said:
s'The truth of the situation is past
belief unless 1t had been actually wit
messed, and the scandal of it can not
be comprehended by those not on tic
spot"

Stanton, and long before he was dry
enough to 60 out Of doors she had
learned why she had never seen him
before.
He had only the night before come
to Cedar Rapids and, in wandering
about to get his bearings in the town
before taking up his duties with his
firm, had come upon the Little Slough.
He had secured some skates at near
by shop and--Diana knew the rest.
In due time he came to call. Only
one subject was tabooed when they
were together, and that was the skat-
ing accident and the promise.
'Diana," said Tom one night-he
had called her Diana for some time.

look at him.
TON Stanton, don't you dare!" she
said, laughing at his seriousness. "You
are dangerously near breaking your
promise, and won't pull you out II
you go over the brink as ldid on the
ice."
Almost year after Diana had ex-
tracted her promise from Stanton she
came into the room where he was
waiting for her and sat down beside
him on the couch.
Have you a pencil and paper,
Tom?" she asked. II want you to
figure something for me-" She moved
close to him.
"But first, Tom, are you quite, quite
sure that you love me-that you would
have loved me anyway? No" she
said, repelllng his attempt to take her
hands. "Tell me-"
Eyes, positively sure, DIANA" he
said, earnestly. Are you going to
release me?"
"Nonsense!" she cried. ~ Just
wanted to be sure; will never re-
lease you from that promise"
Silence fell between them for a mo-
ment. He was thinking Of how many
times within the year she had raised
his hopes, only to dash them to the
ground again. And yet he loved her

Of Mr.. Letters great estate, which is
estimated as being worth from $780,
100000 to $3O,OOO,OOO, had already
passed into the hands Of his son Jo-
seph, who was the principal figure in
the great wheat deal of 1893, which
cost the Letter estate in the neighbor-
hood of $9,75O,O0O.
Levi Zeigler Letter was born in
1884 in the quaint little Dutch Calvin
istic settlement of Leitersburg, Wash
ington county, Maryland, which was
founded by and named after his ances,
tors. He was educated there and
spent the early years Of his life in the
little town, until 1854 when he went
to Chicago to make a name for him
self, and to add by his own efforts
to the money he had inherited. He
entered the employ of Downs & Van
Wyck, where he worked until 1856,
two years later. Then he saw bet
ter opportunity for advancement in
accepting the position offered him in
the house of Cooley Wadsworth &
Co., where he worked side by side
with Marshall Field, who was to be.
come his business partner.
He worked with the firm until 1865,
and the favor with which he was look
cd upon by his employers is proved
by the fact that when he left them he
controlled an interest in the business
of the firm. Marshall Field also had
an interest in the firm and decided to
join young Letter in new venture
They sold out to j. V. Farwell and pur
chased a controlling interest in the
business of Potter Palmer, who was
engaged in the dry goods business at
the time. The firm became known as
Field, Letter & Co., remaining so until
1881, when Mr.. Letter retired from
it.

Henry Turner Bailey, until recently
State Supervisor Of Art Of Massachu-

superintendent of schools, during the
vacation period, made beautiful gar.
den in a school yard, thinking that If
he made 1t beautiful enough the boys
would not destroy 1t. With September
a lot Of energetic boys came back to
school, and in few weeks the garden
was trampled down and ruined. The
townspeople were indignant at the ruff

spoke of them in rather harsh terms.
Early in the spring there was a
change of superintendent, and the
new man heard almost Immediately Of

the school and made friends with the

Coolidge, Kas., June 14,-Ninety-one
miners were unloaded about three
miles west Of Coolidge at 4;3O in the
morning. Sheriff Jack Brady and forty
deputies Of Hamilton county were at
the state line to prevent the deported
men from entering Kansas. When the
train stopped the militia lined up on
each side, ordered the miners to keep
walking up the track.
The men were dumped on the prairie
without food or water, for the soldiers
and deputies, in their haste to get
home, had forgotten to unload the
small stock of commissary supplies,
the train carried when it left Victor.
Warned to move eastward on pain of
being rearrested and severely handled
and notified by the Kansas authorities
that they would not be allowed to seek
refuge in that state, the spirit Of the
men broke. Many of them walked
back westward on the railroad to Hol-
ley, the Salvation Army sediment in

itants provided breakfast for them.

the governor, "that If the miners are
