The day has gone by when the

party in 1896 can be estimated BY
a sneer; and in proof of this We need
but cite the well established fact
that the radicalism Of 1896 has be
come the conservatism of 1907. that
the Chicago platform, denounced
and laughed at by many. has so
grown in favor that republican
president has won his greatest popu-
larity by the adoption OF the prin-
ciples and policies described in that
platform. The spirit of that platform
has steadily grown in favor with the
American people. who. in the opin-
ion OF many well informed men
throughout the country are prepared
to entrust the democratic party with
power whenever the party shall
show a willingness 10 deal frankly

to cut itself loose from all entang-
ling alliances with special interests
from the entangling alliances of
corporation contribution to cam
paign funds; the entangling alliance
OF committee organization COM
posed of men more concerned in the
welfare of the trusts than in the
public interests; and from the en-
ttangling alliance of candidates. who

Missionary Tea

The Wemans Auxiliary of st. James
church gave Missionary Tea, at the
Rectory on Thursday, which from every
point of view was a success.
The study and dining room were dec
GRATED with potted plants, trailing ferns
and hemlock, which in the soft light OF
the many candles and shaded lamps ap-
peared very attractive and cozy.
Mrs. Hatch as vice president and Mrs.
Wilcox were the hoStesses and were
ably assisted by Mrs. Fred Ewbank and
Miss RoBards. Mrs. Hewett and Miss
Steedman presided at the tea table
which with its old silver service, cam
delabra and cut glass looked very pret-
ty and inviting. The Misses Haas. Ew=
bank, Hathaway Smith and Emily
EWbank assisted as servers and saw
that all had "cuppe o. kindness
for auld lang syne. -
Mr.. Wilcox made an address on mis-
sionary work in general and on the work
being done at the Thompson orphanage
in particular. A liberal silver Offering
was made for the benefit OF the Thomp
son Orphansge. Charlotte.
The Waman's Auxiliary wishes t.
thank all who contributed to make the
occasion such social and fnancia
success.

Valuable Coin

D. R. Chewing has a coin which he
prizes highly, as does Sheriff Williams
that coin of his, mention of which was
made in this paper some time ago.
1t was the first piece OF money ever
presented to Mr.. Chewing, who has
had it now for nearly 81 years. 1t bears
the date of 1927, while Sheriff Williams
coin has 1925 under it. Where our pre-
sent half-dollars haye the words '.half
dollar" is stamped ''60c." The piece ot
silver is not worn at all, was given to
Mr.. Chewing when baby by an uncle,
and is naturally highly priced by him.

The news had already spread far, and
scores OF sOrrowing friends were wait
ing outside the church for the arrival
of what must ever be the saddest of all
When the first hymn "I am going
home, was sung, the church was crowd
ed to the doars. Students from the IN
stitute for which the dead Sheriff had
done SO much were there. Members Of
the bar and public oficialsof the county
were there And men and women from
near and far, men and women who do
not show grief easily were there and
broke down utterly and cried.
It was said to be the most remarkable
demonstration of grief and sorrow eyer
occurring at any similar occasion in the
county and showed how strong a hold
the dead man held on the heart strings
of the people who knew and loYed him.
Rev. Allison spoke Heaven-given words
of comfort to the grief-stunned family,
and his tribute to the man before hlm
was fine: As a citizen and as man he
was true to whatever was entrusted to
him. In one word, be was a good man
and goodness is greatness. /"
