GAY TIME ON OUTING.
Keane Council, K. of c., and Guests
Enjoy River Excursion.

Fully $50 knights and their friends of
Keane Council No. 353, knights of Co.
lumbus, attended the tenth anniversary
outisg of the council last evening on a
fifty-mile trip down the Potomac River
on the steamer jamestown.
During the trip an orchestra played nu-
merous musical selections. Many excur-
sionists spent considerable time dancing.
Luncheon was served in the dining room
and on the upper decks
Robert E. Doyle, jr, the lecturer of the
council was chairman of the committee
on arrangements, and under his direction
each member and guest was not permitted
RI snend an idle moment. The steamer
reached Washington at IL o'clock.

and take care of their cattle and learn
trades which they can follow either at
their present homes or wherever labor
Is needed.
Other members Of the commission dis
sent from various points. particularly as
to the breaking up Of the grass lands, be-
cause some Of them think that the cat
tie BUSINESS is quite as important as any
other kind OF farming.
But no member Of the commission eX-
cept Sir Anthony Macdonald seems to
object to the use OF force to carry OUT
the scheme both upon the present land
owners and the ''congests" whom II is
desired to remove. Every one of them
agrees that compulsion Is necessary, and
although the use Of force in Ireland has
been very unpopular in the past. nobody
seems to object to it as an abstract prin-
ciple The attitude Of the question de-
ponds entirely upon how the force is TO
be used. If it is directed against one s
self there Is a strong objection; II II Is
directed upon somebody else it is con-
sidered entirely proper. Nor does the
commission seem to consider the absolute
certainty that any attempt to locate
strangers upon available lands In any
part of Ireland will be resisted with great
determination by the 'landless" men-the
sons of the farmers who have outgrown
the old home farms-and must either emf
crate or get farms of their own: This
opposition will be stimulated by, the his
IOElCdl IdCI lIIdI tlc duCeSloIS tuooC
who covet the land once owned 1T and
have been driven from it from time to
time. A large part of the section most
directly involved in this question was con-
fiscated from IT'S owners in the seven
teenth century and given to Cromwelfs
soldiers to satisfy the arrears of pay.
Much of it is now owned by the descend
ants Of those soldiers and by the descend
ants of people who bought it from them.
and many of the "landlesS'' men are the
descendants of those from whom it was
confscated. They know this fact; they
have been taught from generation to gen.
Grafton that the land belongs to them. and
will not permit it to pass into the posses
sion of strangers.

GROCERS HOSTS OF CHILDREN
POOR LITTLE FOLKS TAGGED TO
MARSHALL HALL.
Sail Down River and Ice Cream and
Cakes and Games GLADDEN. the
Tiny Guests.

One thousand poor children of Washing
ton were tagged by the Retail Grocers'
Protective Association yesterday. Today
these tagged" children made up one
Of the happiest and most enthusiastic
parties ever taken on an outing down
the river to Marshall Hail.
For the greater part of an hour before
10 o'clock this morning children of all
sizes and wearing all sorts of clothes
flocked onto the steamer Manchester.
There were nine-year-Old girls taking their
four year-old brothers. and there were
families that President Roosevelt would
have beamed upon. Some Of them looked
a little scared, but anticipation of pleasure
was apparent in every chubby face.

Thousand Tags Given Away.

Nearly a thousand tags, that served as
tickets. were distributed to all children
who applied. In that distribution there
was no discrimination. Two little chaps
slid into the office of the association yes
terday, wearing only the garments neces-
sary for decency and III bare feet Nerv-
ously lingering their caps, they walked
up to the desk.
You want some tickets boys?" asked
the man in charge.
The heads nodded and the faces took
on a wistful look. They took the tags
and started out. In a few minutes they
slid into the office again.
Please, sir can We go without any
shoes or stockings? Cause we amt got
none" one of them suddenly asked.
Why. of course the representative of
the grocers association said. Come just
as you are They We're on hand this
morning, with their bare feet. 1t was
hard To find any youngsters on the boat
who enjoyed The outing more than that
pair.
To many of the children who applied
extra tickets were given to let them take
the little brother or sister at home on the
excursion. Those who saw the young
sters run TO the boat this morning de-
clared il Il safe bet that all the little
sisters and brpth came along.

Proclamation! !
STATE OF DELAWARE
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT

To WHOM THESE PRESENTS MAY COME,
GREETING:
Whereas, it has been credible repre-.
sented that an epizootic of aphthous
fever, commonly known as foot and mouth
disease, among domestic animals, is now
prevailing in the States of New York and
Pennsylvania, which, if not checked,
will imperil the lives and property in
terests of the citizens of this State:
Now, therefore, /, Preston Lea, Gov
ernor of the State of Delaware, by virtue
of the authority vested in the Governor
of this State, under the statutes in that
behalf, do proclaim that the conveyance
OF all cattle, sheep and hogs, from or
passing through, the States of New York
and Pennsylvania, into the State of Della.
ware, is prohibited: and do further pro-
claim that the driving, directly or in
directly, of all cattle, sheep and hogs
from said States into the State OF Della.
ware is likewise Inhibited.
All violations OF the provisions of this
Proclamation will render the guilty
person liable TO persecution, in accord
ance with the provisions of the statute in
such case made and provided.
In TESTIMONY, WHEREOF, /, Pres
ton Lea, Governor of the State
OF Delaware, have hereunto set
my hand and caused the Great
Seal Of the State to be hereunto
[sEALl affixed this Twenty fifth day of
November, in the year of our
Lord one thousand nine hundred
and eight, and of the Independ-
ence of the United States the
One hundred and thirty-third.
BY tile Governor,
PRESTON LEA.
Jos. L. CAHALL, Secretary of State.
Middletown transcript., 1908-12-05
SHOULD NOT FORGET.

Many DelaMareans complain
that this State of ours has not by
any means a fair representation
in the Departments at Washing
ton. This is matter that any
citizen desiring to obtain any of
the many lucrative positions at
the disposal of the National Ad-
ministration has a right to be in
terested in. 1t is to be hoped
that our Senators are not going
to follow in the footsteps of the
old Democraticregime, where the
Senators from Delaware once
planted at the National Capital
got SO far away from their con-
stituents that they couldn't be
reached.

VERY THANKFUL

President-elect Taft, who has
taken a cottage at Augusta, Ga.
for the winter said, on Tuesday
evening: "When I consider all
that has come to me / wonder,
with trembling, if there is not to
be some great misfortune to Offset
it all. We have our health and
our children. with never a loss
Of a child. Ny parents are dead
but they lived to an honored and
a peaceful old age. have much
for which to be thankful, and l
cannot help wondering # there is
not to be some compensatory
sorrow"

OF cotton mills and other
industrial plants in that part Of
the country the men Of business
have changed their views. They
no longer hold that a tariff for
revenue only" is exactly suited
to their interests.
"Thus we are now being told
that the sentiment of the South
is opposed to any reduction OF
the duties on cotton and cotton
goods. Instead the people are
said to prefer an increase OF
duties. In the meantime the
drift is toward some sort of tariff
revision at the hands of the Re-
publican party, and the hearings
now under way are but a prelude
to what is to come at the ex.
traordinary session of Congress
to be called by Judge Taft after
be becomes President. The Re
publican party is pledged to
"tariff revision, but it is not to
be expected that it is to stand for
anything that will, in the least
degree, serve to injure business
in any direction.
SIT is far better to have the
work Of ''tariff revision" taken
up by the friends of protection
than to have it tinkered with by
opponents of protection. The
effort made by the Democrats in
1893 to revise the tariff was a
failure so marked that President
Cleveland refused to have any
thing to do with the bill submitted
to him, and it became a law in
default of action by the Presi-
snt. That President Cleveland
did not veto the bill has always
been considered surprising. He
was not satisfied with it, yet
refrained from standing against
it. And everybody knows that
the Wilson German tariff act
was notwhat the country needed.
1t is not to be expected that the
Republican majority in Congress
is to try Anything like the Demo
cratic experiment in 1893. =
