John Pendleton Kennedy, who is re-
sponsible for the creation of this mas
terpiece, was born in Charles Town,
Jefferson county, West Virginia. May II.
1871. He is son of the late Judge
John w. Kennedy, of "Cassilis," near
town. Going to Wheeling while still a
bov, he there received the major part
of his education and resided there until
called to fill an office IN the Library of
Congress IN 1867. His experience in
the Library field has been series of
successes. Associated from the first
with such men as A. R. Spoffard and
w. P. Cutter, he had excellent oppor-
tunities to acquire knowledge of Ii
brary mattets. In November 1903, he
was appointed State Librarian Of Vir-
GINA. where he has revolutionized Ii
brary methods and placed the Virginia
,, State Library on a footing with the
best institutions of its kind in the
country. Last July he was elected
president of the National Association
of State Librarians. Mr. Kennedy. who
! shows the same talent for literary
achievement as that possessed by his
late celebrated uncle, whose namesake
he is, is now editing the second volume
of the series of Journals of the House
of Burgesses of Virginia, which, when
complete, will consist of fifteen volumes.

Mr.. Luke c. Strider, formerly of this
county and son of Mrs. Amanda C..
Strider of this place, has been nominated
by President Roosevelt for Justice of
the Peace in Washington City. Mr.
Strider has served in this position under
various administrations tor number Of
years, first holding the position when
there were as high as fifty or more JUS
tees in the District, and on down to the
present when there are but ten. With
the ensuing term, for which he is now
nominated. the number of justices will
be reduced to six, and tor these places there
were numerous candidates. Mr.. Stride1
is conceded to be one OF the best justices
of the peace in the district, and were il
not so he would undoubtedly not have
been honored with retention during all
thess years. We congratulate him on
his reconciliation.

until many hands that had sowed the spTouting seed
were idly folded before there was shouted the harvest
home. And then, when Autumn blew his blasts from
out the gathering clouds, and nature paled and dropped
and died, and the sun hung low and wan above the south
en hills, looking with watery eye upon the fields over
which so lately he had rolled in the pride of his strength,
death was still busy at his trade, and multitudes fell
like ripened shocks into the garner Of the grave. Thus,
"AlI-thou hast all seasons for thine own, o death" Yet
through all the t%hickening avenues of his approach, death
has passed us by. Let US give thanks. Today, how
many stand upon the very margin of the river and hear
The surging of its pillows as they rise to carry them
away How many feel the cravings of disease, the
pangs of pain, the screenings Of feyeri How many are
bereft Of reason and in their madness suffer more than
death itself! How many are poor, bereayed, afflicted
in a word, consider the mighty multitude of woes under
which many rest and to which all are more or less liable
and II gratitude swells not within our hearts. and Il
thankfullness overhows not upon our lips, not only upon
the nationally appointed day, but through all the days OF
our natural life, then let us 90 and hide ourselves for
shame.

MAJESTY OF LAW

The conviction in st, Louis Of Senator Burton. of
Kansas, on all six of the counts of the indictment for
practicing as a paid attorney before the postofRce depart
ment while a senator gives striking emphasis to the
Missouri spirit of reform Fortunately it is a spirit not
confined TO Missouri. Everywhere throughout the
United States is being manifested that same spirit to
strike at graft, no matter how exalted the head that may
be hit or how powerful the political influence that may
be encountered. II is the most promising sign of the
times.
The moral enthusiasm and strict integrity shown by
the public in the recent elections is also finding express
sion in the courts. The old maxim that the law is a
net which holds only the little offenders is %dlsproyed.
In this land today no man Is too powerful for the law i
reach him. The spectacle of a United States senator
sentenced TO prison is not a pleasing one, But 1t Is
more pleasing to see a violator of law in prison than IN
the senate. There is in this conviction no reflection
upon the character of the senate. 1t will be a pureI
and better body than it was before. The lesson will not
be lost upon il,
Nor will the lesson fail of powerful effect upon the
horde of smaller grafters who cannot hope for escape
from punishment when a senator cannot. In these
times Juice is pressing hard after heavy offenders. The
great corporations, which SO long have held themselves
superior to the law, are now feeling the clutch Of It's
relentless hand. Let us hope that the popular spirit
may grow until no man is so powerful as TO escape the
laws penalties and none so weak as To be denied IFS
protection.

POLICE COURT

The first matter considered by Judge
| Crawford in police court this morning
was the case of two boys, Louis Bar
toni and Charles Bruno, by name. The
arrest OF the youngsters will explain
TO the large audience at the Elks' OPP
era house last evening the cause for
the loud racket which disturbed them
during the performance. II was Bar
toni and Bruno that caused the noise,
by forcing in a bolted door, their pur-
pose being to sneak into the play
house. When arraigned in court, both
Judge Crawford and Chief of Police
McMillin ~admonished the youngsters
for being out after curfew was sound
ed. you can now break into Jail for
a time" said the court, as he ordered
the boys remanded to the city Jail.
Tranquilino Armiio was found guilty
of intoxication and assault at his trial
conducted at ) O'Clock yesterday after
noon, and was fined IS.
In the case of Everett Reynolds and
Frank Thompson, the colored youths
Who were also given a trial at 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon on the
charge of street fighting, a fine of So
was imposed in the east of each.
Peter Murray had not entirely re.
covered from his sleep when ushered
into court and did not come to, ap-
~parently, until Judge Crawford's sen.
tence of five days in the city Jail
electrified his daZen senses. AS in the
case of Marcelo Berrea, who also re.
ceived a FIVE days sentence, intoxica.
ton was the preferred charge.
Tom Brown was classified as a
yagrant. He explained that he had
been working for the American Lum
Der company in their tract of timber
until driven out by eighteen inches OF
snow. He related the same old story
TO the effect that he had plenty OF
money until he reached Albuquerque
when he spent It all. He was remand
ed to the city Jail.
Carl Anderson was the name given

claimed that he was a cook out of 8
