No United States Flag Cut Down.

As a parent of one Of the boys ex-
PEELED, please allow me 10 make this
statement with due acknow led cement on
the part of my son and myself to the
school authorities and the taxpayers of
the district.
Ny son furnished the cloth and deco
rated the cloth. after school hours that
the other boys later run up on the flag
stan and was cut down by him later.
This was two nights before Memorial
day and there was no United States flag
cut down, pulled down, dishgured or de-
stroyed by any Of these boys as the flag
was not up that evening This occurred
so long before Memorial day that no dis
respect was intended or thought of tow
ards the Grand Army Tampering with
the pole and rope has occurred at various
times, being done by those who are now
our best and leading citizens
My son has acknowledged to the school
Authorities the part that he took and ex-
pressed regrets for the same and I think
the other boys expelled have done the
same and | think the publicity that has
been given to Cutting down the flag"
with their names attached for doing same
VIXEN they did not do the act a thousand
times more Of a punishment to the
boys and the parents than they deserve
and do not believe the school authorities
intended any such punishment I ac-
knowledge the right of school teachers to
punish, but not to mark the face with a
rawhide I acknowledge their right to
punish. but do not acknowledge their
right to mark for life as has been done in
this case. as some Of the boys were In
tending a higher education and when they
approach other institutions of learning
this false accusation will be thrown in
their face, and later in life the same is
liable to occur.
With the above statement I now ap-
proach the taxpayers and their repre-
sentatives, the school authorities. and pc
tition that my son be restored to the
rights of the school and ask on what
terms, conditions and time this can be
done, l having, heretofore, made good the
/ pecuniary damage

The Orchard Testimony at Boise.

In the trial of William D. Haywood at
Boise. Idaho, Harry Orchard confessed
that he was the actual murderer Of Gov.
Stounenherg and that Haywood was one
%. those who planned that and the series
oi murders that preceded il. Orchard
went into details Of the different hor-
rors with which he was connected from
tho time he went 10 work in the Occur
g Alcne mines in 1899. He claimed that
he was paid money from time 10 time by
the leaders of the Western federation Of
miners for his part in the wreck of two
mills in the Occur d'Alene mines, for set
ting the trap in the NindiCator mine at
Cripple Creek that killed the supeIin-
tordent and foreman for killing Detective
Gregory al Denver He confessed to fol-
lowing Gov. Peabody Of Colorado for
weeks trying to assassinate him and that
he and Steve Adams blew up the station
at Independence killing II non-union
miners These and other crimes he de-
scribed before he owned to killing Gov.
Stcunenherg, In each case he said the
crimes were planned by Haywood. Meyer
or Pettibone, and he and Adams did the
work
The trial at Boise promises to become
one of the most famous ever heard. Tho
western Federation of Miners is not af-
filiated with the American Federation cf
Labor and it represents a class moVemcn Mt
especially strong i'm the western states.
Orchards story is one Of wholesale
murder, comparable only to the Molly
Mcguire outrages of years ago i'm the
Pennsylvania coal mining districts II
will probably require more than Orchard 9
uncorroborated testimony 10 convict Hay
wood Pettibone and Meyer, but it is a
fact that the murders which he described
were committed and he has told 4 con-
nected story Of their preparation and has
not been shaken under the closest fire Cf

The New Haven and Boston G Maine
AAercaar

President MeIen of the New Haven
system has made known to Gov. Guild
the fact that q majority of the Boston
& Maine stock is now in the possession
of the New Haven, and that the merg-
ing Of the two principal railroad sys-
TENS Of that section is now a certainty
unless extraordinary measures are taken.
A part of the deal is the selling OF the
New York, Ontario and Western by the
New Haven TO the New York Central at
S45 a share or a total of S13,122 900. IN
a published letter to Gov. Guild Mellon
explains that his company has not been
the actual purchaser of Boston &
Maine stock but that friendly "intCr-
estS" have bought on the basis Of an
equal exchange Of shares, less commits
sions. He says that this move was not
made for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but TO prevent
the stock from passing into hands not
friendly to New England and that there
| is TO be no stock watering or increase in
outstanding capital He believes that the
public, as well as the investors, will ben
eft by the consolidation Of the two sys-
TENS.

Marriage. In Bible Times.

From the Bible accounts of the mar
rlages Of Jacob With Leah and Rebecca
and from other narratives of marriages
in Jewish history 1t seems that mar
riage was not held to be sacrament
or religious rite in the times of the
patrlarchs. In those days the head Of
the family, the father, was priest and
ruler Of the family and the only priest
or ruler whose authority 1t recognized.
AS far as we learn from the Bible mar.
ratlve in the case of jacobs marriages,
the simple giving Of his daughters by
Isaac constituted the marriage, there
being no religious or other ceremony
whatever. OF course, however, mar
riages made In this way We're just rs
sacred and just as binding as those
performed in the most ceremonions
manner. In these days in Protestant
countries the marriage laws do not
look upon marriage us IL sacrament.
but only MS n civil contract, though
most people prefer TO give 1t certain
religious sanction by having it per.
formed by a church minister st. Louis

Republican Senators Seek to Overthrow
Roosevelt.

The attacks upon Roosevelt by
the Republican senators, on account
of the Brownsville affair, are made
for an Interior purpose. Bykeeping
the question before the public they
expect to deprive the President Of
the support Of the negroes, and that
would put an end to the movement
to nominate him for another term.
Senator Carmack of Tennessee,
forcasted the future correctly, in a
recent speech in the Senate, when
he dO,lared that the republican party
would either have to give the demo.
Gratis back their platform, or nomi-
nate Roosevelt again next year.
While the President has not yet
accomplished very much in his at
tacks upon the law-breaking corpor-
atoms, he has continued to multiply
his infdelities to republican tradi-
tions.
The President has tried to com.
pei the republican party to break
with its old-time friends, the nbber
corporations and trusts, and turn its
guns upon them, Notwithstanding
the fact that they have furnished
the organization with money to pur-
chase hundreds Of elections.
Roosevelt is the first leader of the
republican party who has tried to
array that organization against the
enemies Of the people; tho first lead
er of that party to adopt the larger
part of the Bryan platform Of 1896.
This he has done, and with the force
of public opinion on his side has
compelled the legislative agents Of
the trusts to yield a reluctant obed.
fence.
But these Legislative agents o
predatory wealth have longed fol
the time when they could throw Of
Roosevelt.
They have longed for the tim,
when their party could renew it.

pie. And now they see chance ii
this negro trouble to strike at til,

they are making all they can out o
the chance.

Shaws secure control of the republi
can party it will go back to wher'
it was when Mark Hanna declared
