In a telegram to the editor of the
New York World Senator John w.
Daniel, from Virginia, said that neither
the South, nor any section should, in
his opinion, have candidate for any
place on the presidential ticket on ac-
count of it's locality. The country is
one and the Democracy as yet is one.
He said that the chief requisites of
candidacy are ability and availability.
That fact should determine the choice
and he believes in taking the right
man from anywhere-New England,
the West, the North, the South.

your right to that silence by break

If your frequent moral preaching is

The equestrian statue Of Major-Gen-
eral J. E. B. Stuart, the Confederate
cavalry leader, was unveiled in Rich
mon in connection with the Confed-
crate reunion, with thousands of vet
Grams attending. The cord was drawn
by Miss Virginia Stuart Waller, of
Newport News, granddaughter of the
general. Among the interesting feat

the presence of the widow of Stone

Secretary Taft is now squarely be-
fore the country as the tariff revision
candidate for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination. He believes that
there is a strong sentiment through
out the country in favor of a revision
of the tariff. This decision of Mr..
Taft's is of great political Importance.
1t probably lessons Taft's chances of
securing the nomination, as the tariff
interests always have been the heart
and core of the Republican party or
ganization.

Governor Hughes vetoed the Teach
ers' Bill. The governor sent along
with his veto message, in which
he explained his action and pointed
out that while the present system
was characterized by glaring inequali-
ties, amounting to injustice, the prin-
ciple involved was one which should
be applied generally throughout the
civil service Of the state, If at all, and
should not be adopted in any instance
until the state is prepared to make
equal payment to men and women
doing the same work in its service,

Solomon Fieldman was arrested
while holding a Socialist meeting and
waving red flags around Franklin
Square statue in Printing House
Square, New York City. Magistrate
Crane held him in 500 bail to keep
the peace for one month and as the
prisoner failed to furnish the required
bonds, he was committed to the
Tombs. Magistrate Crane, in his de-
cision, said: Using the red flag in
your speeches or lectures on Social
ism incites men to disorder and vio-
lence, creates feelings of hatred against
the government and its citizens, is
against the law and will not be toler-
ated in this city or country"

Editor Ferguson, Of the New York
Defender, publication devoted to
civic righteousness, has returned from
a visit to Panama, which he calls a
hell. He declares that the whole city
of Colon 'is one big saloon" There
are 10000 inhabitants and about 800
saloons. American boys who are work
ing in the canal zone go into these sa-
looms by the hundreds and thousands
on Sundays as we'll as during the
week. He said he remembers that on
one Sunday there were 800 drunken
WOrkingmen in one barroOm alone.
Ferguson claims the responsibility of
these conditions lies with the United
States government, through President
Roosevelt, for all of the laws in the
canal zone are read by authority of
the president and not by the authority
of Congress. President Roosevelt has
absolute power there, and all he has
to do is to say the word. He could
put stop to all this immortality.

Theodore Tilton, was buried in the
Montparnasse cemetery, Paris, on
May 27. Less than thirty people at

Of the American church, on the Rue de

President Roosevelt and Attorney
General BOnaparte both declined to
assist in bringing Oklahoma into the
sisterhood of states. w. A. Ledbet-
ter and other members of the COM
mittee, after spending two weeks in
Washington, left for Oklahoma very
much disgusted, declaring that the
real reason was a purpose to keep
Oklahoma out of the Union until after
the presidential election. Another con-
stittuiOnal convention may now have
to be held to perfect a constitution.
This would postpone admission nearly
two years, which means that Oklaho-
mas seven electoral votes will not be
counted at the next presidential cleo
tion. Oklahoma is almost solidly

E., Band and Children March to Cemetery
Soldiers Graves Decorated

Members of the Grand Army
of the Republic, of the Spanish
and PHILIPPINE war, and citizens of
Williston gathered in this city last
Thursday to pay respect to the
memory of the brave heroes who
fell in defense of their country
during the civil war. The exer-
cises held Thursday were beautiful
but simple and it is this simplicity
that helps to make the exercises so
impressive.
1t had been planned to hold the
exercises in the court room but
owing to the large crowd, and the
fact that the day was an ideal one,
they were held in the band stand.
The Williston Concert Band gave
an excellent open air concert on
the Main street after which they
marched to the band stand follow
ed by the large crowd of people.
The second number on the pro-
gram was America played by the
Ladies band and sung by the au
dience. This was the first appear
ance of the Ladies Band and the
people were taken. by surprise
with the manner in which they
played. They had been organic
ed just a month but, owing to the
excellent instructions given by
Prof. Onstad and the unusual tai
ent shown by the different mem
bers, the band was able to make
the showing it did.
The invocation by Rev. Hollett
was followed by selection given
by the new musical organization,
The Apollo Club, entitled, The
Boys of the Old Brigade. This
organization is made up of sixteen
men and is making great progress
under Prof. Onstad's leadership.
The recitation, Barbara Fritchie''
by Miss Violet Bride was well
rendered, the speaker showing the
result of excellent training. The

ceived.
The address was delivered by

FRIGHTENED COW
INJURIES BOY
CLIFFORD MADERSON, 7 YEAR OLD BOY,
DRAGGED ON END OF ROPE BY COW
LITTLE HOPE OF RECOVERY

One of the most terrible acci-
dents of the year occurred Tues
day evening when Clifford Nader
son, the seven year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Albert Maderson was
almost killed by a frightened COW.
The little fellow had gone to the
pasture and got the COW, leading
her to the watering trough. While
standing there he tied the rope
around his waist. The COW in
some way became frightened and
ran away dragging the 10y head
first after her. The rope was
short and every time the COW
jumped her heels hit the boy on
the head. Mrs. Maderson saw her
son when he fell and says that he
did not cry out once SO he must
have been kicked just as he
fell. He was dragged about two
blocks before the frightened ami
NAL could be stopped. DIR. Doch-
terman was summoned at once and
dressed the wounds. The head
was severely battered by the cows
heels and fractured at least twice.
Little hope is entertained for his
recovery.
LATER
Clifford Maderson died this
morning at six o'clock.

Ladies Band at this time favored
the audience with another selec-
tion which was heartily applauded
The Seeley Sisters duet brought
tears to the eyes of many of the
old soldiers and members of the
audience. The girls are favorites
with Williston audiences and their
singing is something remarkable.
The next selection was solo by
Mrs. Graet entitled, ''The Flag
That Has Never Known Defeat
Mrs. Grant has a beautiful voice
and the song as rendered by her
touched the hearts of the audience"
This was followed by a recitation
''Lincoln's Gettysburg Address"
by George Schafer. This recita-
tion was one of the. best numbers
on the program and won great
applause. ''The Flag Without a
Stain" sung by Mrs. Hardaway,
was we'll received, especially by
the old soldiers as it brought up
memories of the days of the war
when they fought under the grand
old flag of the Union, the Stars
and Stripes.
The Grafton was delivered by
Rev. Henness and was declared by
many to be the best Memorial Day
Grafton they had ever heard. He
was interrupted time and again by
rounds of applause and had the
best of attention during the entire
address. Following the address
was another number, ''Oh Ye
Tears" by the Apollo club which
was highly enjoyed. The Ladies
Band then played another selection
which closed the program.
At the close of the program
Company E, the Concert Band,
school children and citizens form

etery where services were held
over the graves of our departed
heroes.
