ALARMED
BY NEW REVOLT
Impoverished Wine Growers Hold
Gigantic Mass Meeting.
OVER 100000 IN A PARADE
Civil Government From the Spanish
Border to the Rhone is Totter-
ing--Marcelin Albert, Leader of
the Moyement-Aid Demanded.

Paris.-The revolt of the wine
growing population in the south Of
France is causing considerable ap-
prehension in Government circles.
BY the terms of heresolutions, which
100000 people on parade at Mont
pellier swore with uplifted hands to
execute, the departmental, city, town
and communal officials must resign
and the inhabitants refuse to pay
taxes until Parliament affords relief.
At the time fixed for the parade
the people lined up at the appointed
places without the slightest disorder.
All observers were struck by the ex-
traordinary perfection of the organi-
cation. 1t was once necessary
for troops Or police to interfere with
h multitude, which, it was various
ly estimated, was made up of from
100000 to 100000 persons. A feat
ure of the parade was the large pro-
portion of women participating.
Groups from many cities bore ban
ners with various inscriptions and
carried collins, guillotines, etc.
After the meeting the people dis
persed and started home in perfect
order.
Several mayors, headed by M. Far
roul, Mayor of Narbonne, resigned,
and if this example is followed a con-
dition bordering on anarchy will re-
suit, and the civil government will
cease to reign from the Spanish from
tier to the Rhone, comprising the de-
partments of Herrault, Aude, Haute-
Garonne and Pyrenees : Orientales.
The situation is all the more grave
because it constitutes a unanimous
protestation of the population, and
being unaccompanied by disorder,
furnishes the Government with no
preteXt to resort to force.
Marcelin Albert, the leader of the
movement, was until a couple of
months ago an obscure wine grower
of Argeliers. Now he is acclaimed as
a "redeemer," and seems to hold the
south of France in the hollow of his
hand. His orders are implicitly and
unquestioningly obeyed, and by the
powers Of organization with which he
is endowed he has proved himself to
be a born leader of men. 1t is real
lied among the h~ot-blooded people of
the south that such a man might fire
a formidable revolution.
The Governments bill provides for
the suppression of the manufacture
of fraudulent wine, but beyond pass
ing this bill the Government can do
little, all the experts, who have inves-
tigated the conditions having found
that the real depression was caused
by overproduction, for which ever
the rigorous suppression of fraud will
be no remedy. The only solution they
report is the abandonment of much
of the wine acreage in favor of regu-
lar farm crops and truck gardening.
The outlook has caused much agita-
ton in the press. The Aurore says
it thinks the Government should treat
the impoverished wine growers as il
they had been overtaken by a catas-
trophe, and distribute money for
their relief.
st would cost several Millions
the paper adds, "but if it would re-
store tranquility, why h~esitate?"

Gentleness.

The strength of God is very gentle.
He does not make a great noise in
lifting the tides or in speeding the
stars in their courses. The sunshine
is one of His greatest treasures of
power. He turns the hearts of stall
wart sinners by the touch of infant
fingers or by the memory of a pioqs
mothers spiritual beauty and fidelity.
By loving invitations, tender encour-
agements and manifold ministries of
patience and sympathy, He encour-
ages the penitence and the faith of
sinful and weak human hearts. His
children should seek more of His gen.
tleness. We T too easily tempted
to buster and violence. We forget
that gentleness is greatness as we'll as
goodness. If we would do brave
deeds, let us seek to be filled with
divine gentleness Chris

The Transforming Power of Life.

The Arabs have a saying about the
palm tree, that it stands with it's
feet in salt water and it's head in the
sun. They often cannot drink the
brackish water found in the oasis
where the palm grows, but they tap
the tree and drink the sweet palm
sap.
The palm tree by the magic of it's
inner life can so change the elements
found in the unkindly soil around
it that they minister to it's growth
and strength and fruit-bearing. So
we in our earthly life must often have
our feet in the mire and bitterness
of sin around US; and upon our heads
will often beat the fierce heat of
temptation. But in spite of these
things we shall be able to grow and
grow strong, if within there is the
making of a new life through Jesus
Christ. Bible Advocate.

VETOES TWO-CENI RATE BILL.
Hughes Says Railroad Problem Is One
For Utilities Commission.

Alban~~ Y.-Governor Hughes
vetoed-t ldwin bill providing for
aslat rateH two cents a mile on all
railroads in the State not less than
$50 miles in length. He declared
such action to be too arbitrary, and
said the problem should be solved by
the new Public Service Commissions
after careful Investigation.
This is a critical time" he said,
"and the interests of all demand that
reason and judgmentshould control"
1t is stated on good authority that
n of the first duties that will be
prescribed for the new Utilities Com
missions will be an investigation of
the steam roads of the State with a
view to rate reduction. Some of the
railroads which maintain high mile
age rates have already decided to
make concessions to the travelling
public and allay the clamor for rene
dial action on the part of the Legis-
lature or the Utilities Commissions.

ROOSEVELT FOR INCOME TAX.
Advocates Federal Ownership of Coal,
Oil, Mineral and Ranch Lands. .

Norfolk, Va.-Asserting that the
trusts are laying waste all the nat
ural resources of the country, Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in two extraordinary
speeches at the Jamestown EXPOSE
ton, declared for Federal ownership
of all the coal, oil and ranch lands
which remain in possession of the
Government.
Convinced, he said, that enormous
private fortunes are unjustly overrid-
ing the great mass of the public, he
called upon Congress to impose rad
ical income and inheritance tax laws.
In addition he advocated Federal
child labor laws and a National
statute making employers RESPONSE
BILE to their employees for all acct
dents, no matter whose the fault.
Another interesting feature of the
speeches, in view of recent intima-
lions from Toxic, was the Presidents
statement that the country at all
times should be prepared to main
tain peace by the might of its power
on sea and land, and that no pains
should be spared to increase the
efficiency of the Navy.

ELEPHANT STAMPS
BOY UNDER FOOT
Reaches From Parade Into Crowd
on Buffalo Sidewalk.
ITALIAN LAD INSTANTLY KILLED

Animal Seventy Years Old and Never
Known to Be Vicious Before
Keeper Arrested - Parents of
Victim Will Sue Circus.
Buffalo, N. Y.-ProVoked to anger
by the torments of a half dozen small
boys who kept pace with her and
aimed pebbles at her tapping ears,
Ruth, the seventy-year-old, hve-ton
elephant in Cole Brothers circus
parade, wound her trunk around the
body Of Rocco Laquino, twelve years
old, as he stood in a densely packed
crowd on the pavement and dashed
his life out q the paving stones.
Then, with a trumpet of fury, the
great beast shuf1ed on, leaving the
PROSTATE body of her victim bleed
ing on the street. Another elephant
following struck the boy ~viciously
with her foot, and rolled him in to-
ward the curb. He died in an am
hnlance on the way to the emergency
hospital. 1t was found that his skull
had been crushed in.
For seven hours the boy remained
unidentified, although more than
20Oa weeping men and women filed
past the slab, all of them fearing
that the elephant victim might be
their son. At 6 o'clock Laquino's
mother arrived. For a moment she
looked upon the face of the dead
child, then swooned, falling across
the corpse.
R. C. Dunlop, the elephant trainer,
was riding a horse on the left side
of the beasts. The police held that
he should have taken a position on
the right side, so that he would have
been between the elephant and the
crowd. He was placed under, arrest
and locked up, but District Attorney
ABBOTT recommended that he be re-
leased. This was done.
Cole Brothers gave out a state
ment in which they said Ruth would
be executed within twenty-four
hours. The killing would be done by
chloroform, but they had not de-
cided whether they would administer
it or hand the animal over to the
Humane Society.
Ruth had been in the possession
of the Cole Brothers for more than
seventeen years. She was looked
upon as harmless, and her owners
declare that the tragedy was the
only vicious act of her life. But now
they can no longer trust her. The
elephant is valued at $1,000, and is
said to approximate the size of
Jumbo.
The Superintendent of Police said
there would be no more circus
parades in Buffalo unless ell animals
of a vicious character are eliminated
1t was stated by relatives of the
dead boy. that steps would be taken
to recover damages for his death.
Anticipating this move, the Cole
Brothers retained a law firm to look
after their interests.

How Christ Makes Something of Us.

An English preacher used the fol-
lowing illustration: "Once there was
a brier growing in the ditch, and
there came along a gardener with his
spade. AS he dug round it and lifted
it out, the brier said to itself: What
is he doing that for?. Doesn't he
know that 1 am only an old, worthless
brier?' But the gardener took it and
planted it amid his flowers, while the
brier said: What a mistake he has
made, planting an old brier like my
self among such rose trees as these!' "
