Gilman Case a Mystery.
Ardmoreite Special.

Dayton. Ohio, Nov. 21.-Following
the exoneration OF Mrs. Gilman, the
mother, and Fayne and Collins Gil
man, sister and brother, respectively,
of pretty Dona Gilman, who was
murdered here year ago yesterday
the Dayton police have abandoned
all hope of ever capturing the per.
son or persons guilty of the foul
crime.
The body of the young and beauti-
ful girl, an employe of the Cash
Register company, was found on the
commons near the Gilman home, No
vember 90, 1906. She had been as.
saulted and then strangled to death,
presumably while on her way home
from work.
led 10 the arrest of David Curtis. a
half-witted newspaper carrier who
confessed to the crime and explain
ed every detail of its commission.
1t was later discovered that his
confession was fabrication, and he
was released.
Later the mother, brother and sis
ter were accused, but the grand jury
carly this month refused to indict
h m. Since then the police have
investigated several new clues, but
to no avail. and the case has been
iropped AS involving a mystery that
will probably never be solved.

The contents. consisting of a
large amount of corn, fodder, farm
machinery, vehicles harness, etc. ,
were consumed. The loss ON the
barn itself will reach fully 800.
The barn was insured for $500 in
the Loudoun Mutual Company,
and there is insurance Of II, 500 on
the contents, which were valuable.
Sparks from an engine, which
was used in shocking corn near the
barn, are believed to have caused
the blaze. A steady wind was
blowing at the time and these
sparks were carried into the build
ing. The neighborhood was soon
aroused, but efforts to save the
barn were of no avail.
The barn was the property of
Mrs. Bowen, and the contents be-
longed to Mr.. II. l.. Littleton, of

Honey and Tar has accomplished many

Is to continue to manufacture shoes,
etc, for the rest of the country.
To get into the Canadian market is
discovery necessary to New England
now that the South and West be-
gin to provide themselves with
manufactures. Being in one cor
ner ofthe Union, far removed from
the center of population and con-
sumption Massachusetts feels the
disadvantage of her position.
Protection was a good enough
orange 10 or 20 years ago, but it is
now sucked dry. So far as New
England is concered, free trade
in raw materials at least would at
present pay her better. since it
would enable her to sell in foreign
markets. A lower tariff all round
would be better for her than the
Dingley rates, since it would dis
pose the Canadians to reciprocate
with rates favorable to New Eng
land products.
Practical interests, naturally
dominate economic theory with
the thrifty sons of the Pilgrim
Fathers. Protection was very
good doctrine so long as it paid,
but now that it does not pay, New
England has the openness of mind
to perceive it, and the courage to
abandon it. The parts of the
country that so long made it prof
liable to her may not appreciate
the change in attitude, but they
cannot but admire the intelligence
that enables state To understand
It's economic position clearly and
give up policy of which it was
for many decades the leading ex-
ponent and defender. The Demo
cratic tariff reformers will doubt
less welcome Massachusetts to a
place on their tariff plank-pro-
vided the President does not add
1t to his present large stock of
Democratic doctrines worked over

THE BIG FIGHT COMING.

There is heavy portent in the
stubbornness and pertiracity of the
Roosevelt Third-term League. Ii
has just issued a warlike manifesto.
directed at the object of Its mach
ination. 1t declares: we chat
lenge his right to refuse to accept
the Presidency of the United States
for the third term in the face of the
peoples demand" Evidently, the
league is preparing for a death
struggle with its idol. Ithas heard
from the President, and his mega
tive is most positive. IfMr. Roose-
welt Is TO serve a third term, the
league must conquer him at all
cost.
The third-term league is com
posed of men of mettle, resolution,
and address. They are banded in a
high cause, and their platform has
only one plank. Every one of the
band is fighter, fired by an in
candescent glow of patriotic zeal.
All know that the campaign is to
be long and arduous. Victory will
perch on their banner only after
she is captured and hog-tied. A
resourceful, wary foe stands ready
to checkmate every move.
The President, on the other
hand, faces a dangerous situation.
He must maintain an incessant
vigil if he is to avoid capture.
There can be no sleeping at the
switch. The third-term league is
spreading its tentacles in all direc-
tons. 1t is burrowing under him
and flying over him. 1t aims at
nothing short of an alliance with
the people of the United States in
the forthcoming struggle against
Roosevelt. If it succeeds in this
diplomatic game, he is a goner.
Meanwhile, its snorts of defiance
and preliminary pawings of the
earth are wearing on the strongest
of nerves, even the iron nerve of
Theodore Roosevelt.
The prospect is excellent for a
brilliant, exciting, and historical
struggle between the President and
the league. No compromise APP
pears to be possible. 1t will be a
fight to the finish. Lctcvcry body

general Government supervision
will best protect the interests of
the people and thus promote the
permanent development of the
West
President Roosevelt is not re-
garded as a statesman with social
istic tendencies. He urges gov
eminent control of the remaining
fuel lands in the West for reanOns
which appear TO him to be emf
nently practical. If Congress shall
approve his recommendation and
enact legislation in accordance with
it, the people of the United States
will be able to Judge for themselves
TO what extent government control
of the fuel supply would be pre-
ferable to private control. 1t is
not understood that the Govern
ment would operate the Western
coal mines. 1t would lease them
under conditions, probably, as to
the price at which coal would be
sold to consumers. The President
proposes a most interesting ex-
pertinent. Before the stike in the
anthracite regions of 1902 it is
probable that his recommendation
would have been received rather
indifferently. The advance in the
price of coal and the control of the
supply by combination of rail
roads and mineowners have made
consumers dissatisfied with the ex-
listing system and the heavy bur
dens 1t imposes. In the present
state of the public mind it is not
probable that the Presidents rec
ommendation will arouse hostility
except in the quarters in which it
may seem to be a menace to cor
porate or private interests. -Balti-

and deals with The Lazy Child
and the Unwilling Child" Some
of the points made will surprise
and perhaps not convince the aver
age parent. For instance:
DO YOU, then, not recognize
such a quality as laziness in chill
drenI' asked the reporter, feeling
the infection of Miss Ferrell's OPP
timiSm.
No. Those who know child
nature best tell us that the princi-
pie of childhood is activity. If we
do not give a child something to do
that is suited to him, or if the thing
lis not presented to him in way
that will appeal to him, then he
will refuse it and develop his ac-
tlvlty in some other way"
But surely, to some extent. a
child must do the thing that does
not appeal to him" This new
doctrine of taken the child nature
into account was decidedly upset
ting.
But why! Everything may be
made to appeal to a child. Frankly,
| do not believe in a child doing a
thing simply because it is good for
it."
This is Il fair sample of the treat
ment of the subject, which we'll be
found at least suggestive to those
aggrieved individuals, active par
ents afflicted with lazy children.
