WASHINGTON LETTER.

With the president out Of town
and the number of political visi-
tors consequently and increas-
ingly diminishing, there is a
dearth Of political talk for the
time being at least. The an
nouncement received last week
that Secretary Taft had been
taken suddenly and seriously i'll
at St. Paul on his western trip,
created uneasiness at the War
department. There is intense
interest taken there very natur-
ally in the Secretary as presl-
dental possibility and the news
of his collapse in st. Paul was a
great shock, especially as during
the whole of his term both in
Washington and the Philippines,
he has shown the most rugged
constitution and was the last man
in the department who was ex-
pected to give way physically
The latest news is that accounts
Of his illness have been exagger-
ated.

The japanese pot is still sim
mering, but there has little new
developed in the past week. Am
bassador Aoki was at the State
department last week and showed
Secretary Root a copy of the pri-
vate treaty between Japan and
France merely for the Secreta-
ry's information. The Ambas-
sadOr was less communicative
than usual over the international
situation, which usually indicates
that he is worried. But this gov
ernment does not seem to be TAX
ing the matter very seriously, for
on the heels of his visit, an order
was given to ship 5000 tons of
coal to the United States naval
depot at Yokohama. There is
always a big supply of fuel kept
there for the benefit of vessels
on the Asiatic station to relieve
them of the necessity of going to
Manila to fill their bunkers. The
supply is being kept up as usual,
which it would not be were there
the remotest probability Of trou-
BILE.
The Department of Justice will
institute suit in a few days ag-
,ainst the socalled Pows2gsr Trust.
1t is said that this is one of the
most powerful and effective of
all the trusts and the place where
the shoe pinches the government
particularly is that the Trust has
suppressed all but the most NOM
inal competition in bids for gov
ernment powder. 1t owns all the
mills that can fill the government
contracts and duplicate bids are
always submitted. It is said that
should a war break out as things
are now, the government would
be completely at the mercy of the
powder monopoly and would have
to pay any price it chose to de-
mand for it's product.

Obituary..

Mary Reck, wife of HenryReck,
was born October 81, 1918, and
departed this life June 13, 1907,
aged 88 years, Z months and IL
days. She was the daughter of
David and Hannah Martin. She
was married to Henry Reck on
February II, 1910, and they lived
for over fortyeight years peace
fully together, or until his death
on October 10, 1888. Mary had
four brothers and four sisters, all
of whom are dead so far as is
known. She leaves two child
rem, 8 step-children, 20 grand
children, 80 great-grandchildren,
and % great-great-grandchildren
to mourn her loss. She united
with the Lutheran church before
her marriage ard after her mar
riage she united with the Chris
tian church at the Beech. Mary
was a servant of the Lord for
more than half a century, and
was always very kind, patient
and true. She was always will
ing to lend a helping hand to her
neighbors, and was very much
loved by them. All through her
long illness she never became i'm
patient, but bore her burden
kindly, till God said, Mary,
your work is done, come up high
err" then she quietly fell asleep
in Jesus. Funeral services were
held at the Beech church June
Is, 1907, conducted by Rev. Geo.
Wright. Interment in Gettys-
burg cemetery.
Mother. mother, to as all,
Has gone to take her rest;
No matter now how oft we call,
She is travelling with the bIest.
Kind, patient and true was she.
But now her labor Is done;
Vacant, yes vacant, her place will be,
For victory size has won.
Sleeping, yes, she is sleeping,
And is numbered with the dead;
While we are lonely weeping,
For the one that has gone ahead.
Safe at home SO pure and happy.
She will always want to stay;
For the home of our dear Savior,
Is likened to a golden bay.

mysterious events of last Angus
than there was when the inquiry
first opened. There has been /:
cloud of witnesses on both side
: and they have fatty contradicteC
each other, even the army off
GERS being divided as to the guilt
or innocence of the men, though
was more unanimity of opinion
among the civilian witnesses that
the soldiers of the 25th Infantry
were guilty of shooting up the
town.
One of the most entertaining
witnesses of the whole hearing
was on last week. He was Gen.
Andrew S. Burt, retired, who
had been for ten years colonel of
the 25th. He came principally
to testify to the general good
character of the soldiers as he
had known them and to say that
Mingo Sanders, in particular,
was in his opinion entirely inno-
cent both in knowledge and deed.
Only those who are familiar with
the negro in his confidential re-
lations with his white officers in
whom he really trusts can know
just what sort of weight must be
given to Mingo's private assur-
ance to his old Colonel that he
knew absolutely nothing about
the whole affair.
| Gen. Burt is Andrew S. on the
army register, but he is known
all over the country and espec-
tally in the west as Andy and the
bulk of his acquaintances proba-
bly, would hardly know him by
his longer and more dignifed
name. He has always been a
great advocate of athletics a.
mong the soldiers and organized
the first regular army baseball
team. He used to play on it, too,
when occasion arose and one of
the stories concerning him was
when he was the Colonel of the
18th and helped to fill a gap on
the enlisted mems team. He bat
ted with the best of them and
when ne was coming home as
fast as his short legs could carry
him for the winning run of the
game, an old negro sargeant
coaching from the side lines
jumped up and down and yelled
in clarion tones, Run, Andy,
run! Come on you blankety blank
blank bowlegged son of a gun.
Run!'
And Andy did run and won out
on a phenomenal slide for home.
He got up and brushed off his
ball clothes and then said quietly
to the sargent, II can scarcely
blame you, Sergeant, for your
remarks in the excitement of the
game. But kindly remember moi
to let them occur elsewhere. f"
That was all the notice he evel
took of the incident and made nc
reference to it officially. Anc
the enlisted men thought all thu
: more of him for it. He never
had the least trouble with thu
unruly 25th and it is only natura
he should speak a good word fol
them.

Theodore Roosevelt to accept an
other term in the presidency. l
is a we'll known fact that tn,
president has said that under nj
consideration will he accept th'
\ presidency in 1908; but man!
\ people, Democrats as well as Re
publicans, talk as if the president
can be persuaded to ignore his
word. And perhaps he might ii
case of real necessity. If the
country had no other man suita.
BILE for the chief magistracy, OF
if any real danger threatened in
case of Roosevelt's retirement at
the end of the present term, he
might be induced to reconsider
and accept the Office for another
term.
AS a matter of fact, there are
many men equipped for the pos
ition, and would fill the place
we'll if elected thereto, such, for
instance, as Secretary of War
Taft-a man of honor, character
and ability, a tried and proved
ruler of men. And there are ot-
hers, many not indeed equal to
Secretary Taft, but amply able
to act as chief magistrate of this
great republic. We need not
force Roosevelt to it again be-
cause of the lack of suitable men
for this high Office.
Neither should we apprehend
any danger in case of the presi-
dents retirement. This country
is not dependent on any one man..
Roosevelt has made a good chief
magistrate. This is universally
acknowledged. His fame has
travelled the civilized world. The
old world, as we'll as this new
western world, applaud his mas
terful spirit. But we could do
without even Roosevelt. When
George Washington retired to his
Virginia farm the country kept
on in the even tenor of it's way.
Washington had been the real
father of his country, but his
ofice-holding was not essential
to her we'll being. The country
prospered when he was out OF
Office. It will also prosper when
Roosevelt is no longer at the head.
We have no sympathy with the
effort to induce him to continue
in office for another term. Bet
ter let some one else be chief
MAGISTRATE. Mexico has contln-
ued Diaz in Office for many terms,
and this because no one suitable
to fill his place was in sight. We
are not in like plight. There are
many in both parties who would
make capable and trusty chief
magistrates. Of them all Secre-
tary Taft seems to be the best
qualified to take Roosevelt's
place. He is in full sympathy
with the president in his efforts
to reform abuses, and fully e
quipped for the chief magistracy.
In some respects Taft will prove
better for the country than the
present incumbent. He is more
careful of the feelings of his fel-
lowmen, makes all who come in
contact with him fast friends,
and certainly in his aptness to
meet every governmental emer'
gency Taft has no superior. Ht
has a genius for doing the righ1
thing at the right time, and thu
right spirit. Let us drop the tall
of forcing Roosevelt to serve an
other term and boom, Taft TO
president in 1903. We can d
nothing better.

instead of otherwise, the event
