modesty seldom mentions the name or
its editor oftener than one hundred
times in any issue" Mr.. Rodenberg
held up two copies of the Commoner'
in one of which he said Bryans name
was mentioned 1875 times, and in the
other los times.
"Mueh stress will no doubt be lald
on democracys pretended friendship
for labor Crocodile tears will be shed
in great abundance by the democratic
spellbinder in 1908 as he tells of the
heroic efforts of the minority in TINS
house to enact Legislation in behalf OF
the horny handed sons of toll, and yet
an examination of the record will dis
close the fact that the only place in
this country where labor is underpald,
where the efforts of Workingmen to
organize themselves into unions meet
with determined opposition, and where
few laws favorable to the cause of toll
have been incorporated into the stat
utes, are the states that have never
given an electoral vote to the republl-
can party"
Mr.. Rodenberg closed by contrast
ing Bryan and Roosevelt. asserting
there was nothing in common between
them. "One is the antithesis of the
other. Roosevelt is practical states
man. the other an impractical dreamer
one is patriotic. the other is simply
platitudinous: one is constructive, the
other destructive: one believes in in
telligent action, the other in unintelli-
gent agitation"

Honors to Ex-Premier
SERVICES At WESTMINSTER
First Funeral Of Premier Held in Fa-
nous Abbey Since Simple
Services in Honor Of Great Britain's
Noted Servant-Heavy Rain Incon-
veniences Funeral Party.

London, April 27-The funeral serv-
ice of the Church of England was
solemnized in Westminster abbey at
noon today over the body of Sir Henry
Campbell-B late premier of
Great Britain, in the presence of a
large gathering representing the polit-
ical life of England. After the serv-
ice a short procession moved from the
abbey to Easton station where a
special train took the coffin and some
of Sir Henry's relatives and closest
friends to Scotland.
1t was a typical gloomy London day,
and dismal rain was falling when
streets The abbey and the railroad
station each had it's crowd of spec
tators, who found shelter from the
weather under a sea of umbrellas.
The last time the body of a premier
of England was taken to Westminster
abbey was in 1898, when Gladstone was
buried there The ceremony Of today
held much less of display than was
seen when Gladstone was laid at rest,
but the grandeur of the abbey and
the character of those who assembled
for the last honors to Sir Henry
pbell-Bannerman formed a note
worthy historical scene. Scores of the
former premier's political associates
were present, but his two predecessors
in office, Balfour and Rosebery, were
unable to attend. Today was the first
time in history that the funeral of a
premier or ex-premier has occurred
from the historic residence of the Brit
ish prime ministers in Downing street.

SLIDE BURlEs TOWN
Thirty inhabitants of Notre Dame de
saIette, Canada, Die Under Tons
Of Earth.


SaIette, Canada, Die Under Tons
of Earth.
Buckingham, Ont, April 27.-Half
the little French hamlet of Notre Dame
de Salette, sixteen miles from here on
the Lievre river, lies buried under a
sliding mountain, and at least thirty
Of it's small population are known to
have perished.
The hamlet has no telephone or tel
egraph, and neither is it on a railroad.
come in by messenger from the ply
sicians and other rescuers who We're
hurried there when the first calls for
aid came at early morning.
Spring rains for days past have been
melting the snow and ice on the
mountainside above the hamlet, and
streams have been cutting new beds in
their rush to the river below.
AT o'clock Sunday morning, just
4
for early mass, part of the mountain
started to slide toward the river.
1t tore a path of death and destruc-
ton for it's way, and those who were
not killed when their homes were en-
quilted were left buried under the mass
of rock and earth.
De Salette, like many hamlets of its
kind, rambles into gardens and little
fields on the mountain side, SO about
half of it was not in the path of the
avalanche. The sliding mass rushed
with a roar and spread fanlike over
part of the place and dumped itself in
the swollen stream at it's foot.
Cut off from the outside world, mes
sengers were dispatched to Poupere,
the nearest hamlet. Buckingham was
appealed to, but the flight of the mes
sengers across the spring roads was
slow. Those first on the scene found
De Salette in panic, with the unin-
jured ones packing their belongings
for flight.
The first messengers to Bucking-
ham ordered twenty-five coffins to be
sent to De Salette, and all the physi-
clans of the town were hurried across
country with rescue parties.
Notre Dame de Salette is situated In
the center of the white pine lands of
Canada, from which the greater part
of the wood used in the production of
paper pulp is produced.
The catastrophe at Notre Dame de
Salette was a repetition Of the one
which in 1903 swept down from the
hills twelve miles north of Buckingham
and carried acres of mud into the
stream Of the Lievre river, nearly a
mile from the mountainside The flow
of the stream was practically stopped
by this avalanche and traffic was cut
off.
This slide was three-quarters of
mile in width, and the property dam
age done amounted to many thou
sands of dollars.

Des Moines. April 27.-Lafayette
Young has not felt the same toward
William Howard Taft, secretary of
war, since the Council Bluffs banquet
at which Secretary Taft said they
had to take great many people with
them on the trip to the Philippines to
Fill the upper berths." 1t was intend
ed for joke by the genial secretary
of war but to Mr.. Young, who has kept
his political reputation by his claim
of intimacy with President Roosevelt
and Secretary Taft, this thrust had
none of the elements of joke. Since
then he has been counting the ac-
quaintance of the delegates from New
York state who are pledged to the
support of Hughes for president.
At the Council Bluffs banquet Mr..
Young was one of the speakers. The
standpat managers of the banquet had
carefully arranged for only standpat
speakers and further had arranged
that no progressives should sit close to
Mr.. Taft Mr.. Young in speaking told
of his long and intimate acquaint-
ance" with the secretary of war and
with a show at oratory said he had
"encircled the globe" with him.
Mr.. Taft was fearful that the audi
ence would overestimate the impor-
tance of the Philippine junket, and
after acknowledging the courteous
things that had been said about him
by Mr.. Young and others said: You
know we had to take a great many
people along on that trip to fill the
upper berths. 1t is needless to say
that all the progressives present (but
none of the standpatters) saw the
point to the joke and enjoyed good
laugh.
Since that time Mr.. Young has been
showing signs of fulfilling the proph-
ecy of many politicians that on the re-
publican delegation from this state he
would be for the man that wins" Some
days ago he objected to Copeland, Of
Burlington, as presidential elector-
at-large, because he was too good a
Taft man, saying that Copeland would
not vote for Cannon for president.
Following this up, he has said nice
things about the members of the New
York delegation to the national con-
vention, all of whom are pledged to
Hughes for president
Every effort is being made to make
the Dolliver meeting here Tuesday
night a big success Senator Dolliver
speaks at the Auditorium on Tuesday

of Dolliver in Cummins home town

ing asked to sign pledges to attend.
They are promised special trains on

Chicago. April 27-President Roose-
velt is not going on tour around the
world after he leaves the White House,
according to Walter Wellman, in a
Washington dispatch. The president
has declared that he will never place
himself in a position where he would
have to endure entertainment as some-
thing less than the equal of those with
whom he has recently stood on terms
of equality.
The president added that for himself
personally he did not care, bur he
thought it beneath the dignity for the
great office of president to put himself
in such a position. If he could travel
abroad without being entertained as a
former president he would be glad to
make the tour
While his plans are still indefinite,
he does think seriously of trip to
South Africa for the purpose of HINT
ing big game.
