WARNER GAVE HIS SUPPORT.
Cut in Pearre'S Majority Not Due TO
Opposition OF Latter.

The following is from the Washington
Herald Of Tuesday:
Representative George A. Pearre's
assertion that the reduction of his ma
jority from 1900 to about 500 in his
recent race for reelection to Congress
was due in part, at least, to the opposi-
ton Of Brainard H. Warner excites only
ridicule on the part Of those cognizant
of the facts.
Mr.. Warner took a d acided interest in
the late election, especially in Maryland
and appealed to business men to sup
port the entire ticket. His slogan
was: This is "a business campaign"
He emphasized this issue in a speech he
made under the auspices of the Taft,
Sherman and rearre Club at Frederick,
October IS, and subsequently, at his
own expense, circulated throughout the
Sixth district thousands of copies of
this speech. 1t concluded as follows:
This is a business campaign. Upon
its success depends much Of prosperity
or aoversity for the Sixth district Of
Maryland for four years to come. If
you are wise you will prefer the former
and cast your votes on election day for
Taft, Sherman and Pearre.
Il not only voted for MIR. Pearre, -
said Mr. Warner, but l worked for
his election and urged all my friends to
support him Loyalty at the polls. am
a business man and not politician, and
in my opinion but for the business aspect
Of the case, Mr.. Pearre would have lost
the district. His opponent made an ag-
gressiye and vigorous fight and polled a
large vote. MIR Pearre did not get the
votes, and his majority was badly cut.
President Roosevelt's letter refer
ring to the Pearre anti-injunction bill
reached many voters in Montgomery
county. Why does he not charge that
Mr.. Roosevelt helped to bring about his
defeat?
''As a matter of fact, there is no
Warner faction in Montgomery county,
or anywhere else, and | hope there
never will be. | am for unison and har-
mony always. My work in the cam
paign speaks for itself. 1t is no fault
of mine, or no fault of my friends that
Icould control that Mr.. Pearre. toceiy-
ed SO small a majority"

Oppose Sunday Funerals.

The Ministers Union of Morgantown,
W. Va, composed Of the pastors of the
Protestant churches of the city, have
adopted an address to the public in
which it is urged that except under
very unusual circumstances should more
than one minister be asked to share in
the conduct Of a funeral service. 1t is
also urged that ''only in cases of ex-
IRENE necessity should funerals be ar
ranged fer Sunday. It is unfair % tho.
'und rtaker and his drivers who, ike
others, have the right to a day of rest.
Aud it is a severe tax on the minister's
strength, whose Sunday is crowded
with his regular engagements. And
always we urge that the funeral be
made not place for display or osten-
tauon, but a reverent and simple SER
vice.

LONDON, May ia great army of

Der more than $4,000, held a demon
stration in Trafalgar square this after
noon in favor of imposing a duty of
$40 on every hundredweight of hops

Special trains brought in thousands
from Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Wor-

banners flying and bands playing,
marched to the square where English
men with a grievance always have
been accustomed to assemble. Speak

Good Doctrine for Grewnups

There is not much chance for argument or
this subject, whether the parents can recall
their own wheeling days or not They GER
tainly know that cycling increases the luna
power works wonders for those having pool
circulation, and by the rational use of mus
cles that are not ordinarily brought into
action, develops a sturdiness OF body. and
reserve fund Of strength that is worth more
When you come to think OF It. everything
that has been said concerning the value OF
cycling for Juveniles can be said just as
strongly in talking OF wheeling for adults
And It's because of the absolute truth of this
statement, no doubt, that the return OF the
wheel Is so much in evidence.
The bicycle. and it's vogue today, is really
on a better foundation than ever before. 1t
is not put forward as fad, or a fashionable
diversion, but is accepted as the finest means
of exercise in the world, and the most mar
velous time and money saver that has ever
blessed mankind.
