THE QUITO EXPOSITION.

After sticking a r1illion into the
jamestown exposition, it should not
be a difficult matter for congress to
reach down into Uncle Sans jeans
and pull out paltry $50 900 for the
exposition at Quito, in commemora-
ton of the hundredth anniversary OF
the independence of Ecuador. The
only obstacle we can see in the way
Is the fact, that Quito isn't located in
any congressional district, and there
are no prospective votes to interest
a senator or congressman sufficiently
to induce personal effort in behalf of
the appropriation. Yet, that $50 1000
would be well spent, and Secretary
OF State Root urgently recommends
it. Our present friendly relations
with all South America will be a
monument to Secretary of State
Root, and any sum spent in evidence
of our good will and interest in South
American countries will be CONNER
,cially, productive, and add to our pres
fige and strength there and abroad
Between Roots foreign policy; Taft's
magnificent management of colonial
affairs. and Garfield's internal reform
measures, this administration has
been conducted on plane of states
manship, that takes us back many de-
cades TO find its equal.

that IL was his own home. The mud

The Mud on His Clothes.
The mud on the clothes of the dead
man has lead to a vigorous investiga-
tion by the police. Rumors were out
that the man had been killed at an
other place and dragged to the house.
Whisky was smelled on the breath
of Phelps by the police when the body
was first examined. According to De-
,tective Moore's statement Phelps mus.
have started away from the door when
the first shot was fired, as the bullet
|passed through the lower part of the
ear and into the base of the brain. AS
he fell another bullet struck Phelps
in the back of the head. and the third
shot must have gone wild, as there is
no evidence of its entrance into the
body.
Phelps was 22 years old and was
born in Nelson county of this state.
Much of his life had been spent DIN
Illinois and he lived in Brookport.
coming to this city four years ago.
He lived with his mother, Mrs. Annie
Mulhgan, 1909 North Twelfth street.
Phelps leaves three brothers, Daniel,
John and Elijah. and two sisters, Nell
lie and Elizabeth, of this city. His
brothers this morning said that Philip
left home about O'Clock Saturday
night and said he was going down
town. He had over $50 in his pockets
and the family is convinced that he
was murdered and robbed of his
money. Will Sines, a companion of
Phelps, saw him at midnight and he
had a short talk with Phelps. and he
was not drinking, according to Sipes'
statement. Phelps had worked for
the Cohankus Manufacturing COM
pany for four years, and made from
s12 to SIS week.
This morning the body was taken
20 Brookport, Phelps former home.
and the burial took place this after
noon at 2:30 O'Clock at the Pell ceme-
terry.
+ Pervine Is 30 years old. and has
been employed at the American Snuff
company for a. number of years as a
classer. He has been industrious.
and is known as hard worker. About
is years ago he was arrested for
killing another Negro on Kentucky
avenue. but in the trial he was set
free as the evidence showed he killed
the man in self-defense. Since then
the police have had little trouble with
Pervine. Z -

CHILD LABOR DAY.

Churches have been enlisted in the
anti-Child Labor movement, and Jan
nary 26 has been designated as a
day for all ministers who will con-
sent, TO preach on topics pertinent to
this matter. There Is no doubt that
children are employed in the mills,
because their labor Is cheap; and
there Is no doubt that the employ
ment of women and children in indus
trial pursuits threatens the physical
degeneration of posterity. Children
should be allowed their full time of
play and study. II is their right. and
1t is the law of nature. Any viola
ton of this law will visit punishment

BAL and mental degeneration will come
