Gwinnet street. East Savannah, Ca
Each was in the thirtles and had been
intimate friends since their graduation
from Wellesley College. Miss Hardee
received her diploma in 1894. while Miss
Weed reoe we'd hers year later. Miss
Hardee was an instructor in mathe-
matics at Wellesley In 1898 and 1900
and since that time has been teaching
In Vermont. Miss Weed had also been
teaching in various sections OF the
country and last summer they opened
a fashionable boarding school. On the
day the school opened Miss Weed broke
down as the result of overwork and
was taken 20 a sanatorium.
Because the revolver was found
clutohed in Mss Weeds hands and
through the reports Of her unsettled
mental condition the police believe that
she shot Miss Hardee and then killed
herself.

WANT DELAWARE MILITIA
TO TRAIN AT FORT DUPONT
Governor Lea Asked TO
Assign the First Infantry
for Practical Instruction
in Coast Defense Ser
vice

Instead of going into field maneuvers
with the Federal troops this year, the
First Delaware Infantry is desired to
participate in artillery and coast de-
fense training at Fort Dupont.
Governor Lea has received a COM
munication from the War Department
asking that the Delaware militia be
assigned to active duty at the fort this
summer instead of being sent along
with troops of other states to take part
IN the infantry evolutions with the Reg
ular army.
The Governor now has the War De-
partments communication under con-
sideration and has conferred inform
ally with Adjutant General Wickersham
about it. but nothing definite has been
done and is not likely to be for some
time
The War Department will use Fort
Dupont as a rendezvous for artillery
companies from the east and for mill
tia from some of the Atlantic Coast
states during the summer, If plans now
under consideration materialize. Not
only is It contemplated to move some
artillery companies TO Delaware City
for training. but the governors Of some
OF the seaboard states have been in
vited to send detachments of their
militia to Fort Dupont to undergo a
rigid course Of practical instruction
and training in coast defense work. in
cluding the loading. handling and fir
ing Of the imm ense rifed guns mounted
at the fort'fcations.
Thus while the citizen soldiery
throughout the country is being per-
fected by contact with the Regulars,
another portion Of the militia will be
qualified for emergency or auxiliary
service in manning the fortlfications
along the seaboard. to strengthen that
arm Of the service should volunteers
bo needed.
The Organized Militia Of Pennsvl-
vania and Maryland has been invited
TO participate along with New Yorks
grardsmen at field maneuvers with the
Regular troops near Fort Herkimer, n.

STORM BREWS
ABOUT CASTRO
Great Britain as Well as the
United States has Claims
Against Venezuela
TO DECIDE WHETHER
TO WELD BIG STICK
py unItea press 1000 specIal wIrs.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE
clouds gathering on the diplomatic
horizon OF Venezuela are fast assun-
ing the proportions OF a general storm
for President Castro. The most fore
bodlng is probably that appearing from
the direction OF the United States. but
there are indications that others will
contribute TO the general disturbance
which tho imperialistio executive
faces. The fact that there are other
countries. notably Great Britain.
whose claims have been dismissed In
the same peremptory fashion as those
of the United States. may help deter
mine the solution OF the problem.
The additional fact that Castro has
given as little consideration to claims
of Venezuelans themselves will operate
against him when difficulties arise.
Il Is now up 10 Congress to decide
whether OF not the big stick shall be
welded. The correspondence with the
Venezuelan government which will be
turned over 70 the Senate by the State
Department in a few days. IT is now
almost certain win call for drastic ao-
tion. as all means OF securing recognl-
tlon from Castro through ordinary
channels have been exhausted.
Whether Congress will take the initia-
tive or delegate that function to the
President remains to be seen.
Il Is evident that the Venezuelan
president begins to realize the gath
ering OF the storm. The sudden recall
OF the Venezuelan representative at
Washington. Senor Pulido. Is one indl-
cation, and the activity OF Castro'a
agents, in making unomcial explnna-
tions Of the American claims Ia an
other. Il Is now admitted that Castro
must reopen negotiations for the set

CLIPPING from paper read at conven-
ton of Stave Manufacturers, at Mem
phis, Tenn, July IA, 1908:
w. X. Knox, of New York, who was
unable to be present, sent one OF his
clear-cut papers to the convention. 1t
was we'll received, and was as follows:
Permit me to say that / am not one
of those who believe that return OF
prosperity can be brought about by a
mere universal wish for it or by the toot-
ing of horns or the blowing of hot air.
More material influences have to be
brought to bear, although the return OF
a general feeling of confidence on the
part of the public is one of the essen
tials. A little display of confidence is
much more beneficial than a very large
expression of it, and, having been on
the road almost continuously during the
past SIX months, am in a position to
say that business is not actually coming
back to the normal, if we can regard
1907 as normal, at anything like the rate
the newspapers are leading the public
to believe. The reports of mill-hand
in the great manufacturing districts
being taken back to work. by the thou
sands are being very much exaggerated.
: read of one account last week of 1900
hands being put back to work at one
place, whereas on investigation / find
that actually fifty men had been taken
back, but with no assurance of steady
work. However, it is not to be disputed
that business conditions today in gen.
eral are in very much better shape than
they were six months ago and there is a
very decided, although gradual, move
ment toward improvement"

The Biggest Fool.

The biggest fool is the tariff fool.
And just now he is numerous and
boisterous. Ordinarily he is intelligent,
as smart as the average in the human
race. 1t is only when one proposes to
befriend him by looping off some CT his
tariff burdens that he goes daft. He
regards Dingleyism as sacred. He for
gets that there is G. God that there are
sunshine and showers that there are
fresh dews every morning and new
blessings of nature every evening, and
that all these are entitled to some credit
for the prosperity and happiness of the
people. From his point of view all
prosperity IS due &c tar;a taxation, and
thus he blaspLemes God thus he defies
the virtue OF sunshine and rain. He
even forgets to pay slight tribute to
science, philosophy and genius, surely
marvellous factors in the progress of
the world all glory goes to tariff taxa
ton.
Yet he is more of fool than this.
He holds
~ That tariff taxation tecds 10 make
wages high.
(2) That tariff taxation enables man.
ufacturers to compete with foreigners
CD That tariff taxation tends to make
the necessaries of life cheap. And
thus he leaves the way clear to prove
that he is fool, because:
~ If tariff taxation tends to make
wages high it must follow that CORES
ponding high price must be charged for
the necessaries of life.
(2) If tariff taxation tends to enable
manufacturers to compete with for
eigners it must follow that it enables
them to keep foreign goods out of the
market that they may charge higher
prices than they would under rational
trade regulations.
(3) If-tarff taxation tends TO make
the necessaries of life cheap it must
follow that the whole plea of protec-
tionists that tariff taxation is for the
benefit of manufacturers and working
men is cowardly and shamefully false
since tariff tax that will operate in the
direction of forcing down the prices of
manufactured products must necessari-
ly operate also in the direction of fore
ing wages down as well as the profits of
manufacturers.
But the tariff fool cannot see this
point. he don't want to see it. His
eyes are sealed to the fact. Lord Will
liam Pitt of England knew the tariff
fool. Aud it was thus in the house of
lords. many years ago, he described
him
MY Lords and Gentlemen-To levy
a direct tax of per cent is dangerous
experiment in free country and may
incite revolt; but there is method by
which you can tax the last rag from the
back aud the bite from the mouth with
out causing murmur against high
tax ), and that is to tax great many
articles of daily use and necessity so
indirectly that the people win pay them
and not know 1t; their grumbling then
will be of hard times. but they will not
know that the hard times are caused by
taxation
That precisely describes the present
situation. The people complain of hard
times. yet many of them do not know
that the hard times are here because Of
the merciless thieving of the tariff pro-
tected trusts. The tariff is monstrous-
IL heavy tax which the people must
pay, and so times are not what they
should be.

Senator La Fouette's Course

Senator LaFollette's course in the
approaching presidential contest is
arousing a good deal of interest among
the voters of Wisconsin, and perhaps Of
other states also.
The senator tried to get several of
his favorite principles put into the re-
publican platform, but without success
He doubtless knew that he would fail
He also knew that most of these princi-
Piles would be built into the democratic
platform. Yet Immediately after the
nomination of Taft the senator tele-
graphed him his support.
Does Senator LaFollette put party be-
fore principles
Does Taft, without progressive princi-
pies, appeal more strongly to the sena-
tor than Mr.. Bryan with such princi-
plesf
Has not the senator, in time gone by,
went Gp and down the state with copy
of the Commoner in his pocket, appeal
ing to democrats to put principle above
party and vote for himg
Did not democrats put principle above
party at that time and vote for principles
Many of them voted for Senator LaFol-
lete, believing that they were thereby
putting principle above party. Had
they not done so, Mr.. LaFoilette would
have been beaten at the polls.
Having been supported and his success
made possible by patriotic democrats
who put principle above party, will not
tie senator now turn round and advise
the voters of his party to initiate the
democrats in patriotism, put principle
above party aud vote for Mr.. Bryan.
Or is it commendable for democrats
only to put principles above party and
disregard party ties.
No matter what the senator may
think or do in this matter, many of his
progressive republican supporters will
vote for MIR. Bryan. They do not always
obey the senator when he advises them,

Democrat1c state Convention


Many throughout the state had AZ
idea that the democratic state conven
ton, held in Milwaukee last week, was
for the purpose of placing in nomina
ton state ticket, and because this was
not done, some who knew no better
said the convention was not success,
etc. The fact is the convention was
not called fer any such purpose, but
just to adopt platform, get the dem
ocrats together, talk over the situation
and, if necessary, to see that a com.
plete ticket was in the field at the prim-
airy election. 1t was found that there
were plenty of candidates for the var.
ions offices, therefore, outside of the
Organization, and various speeches
authorizing the states central com.
mittee to circulate nomination papers
for any state, congressional or county
candidates, favoring an amendment to
the laws permitting state convention
to make declaration of principles that
should be binding upon candidates
nothing was done except to adopt 8
platform, which the convention did, as
follows:
We, the Democratic party of Wiscon-
sin in convention assembled, heartily
endorse the platform adopted by the
national Democratic convention aud
pledge to the platform and candidates
our active and enthusiastic support;
and we especially commend the planks
of the national platform with respect
to the reduction of tariff duties, the
control of trusts and combinations, the
physical valuation of railway property
and the election of United States SEN
ators by direct vote of the people.
We favor the enactment of such legis-
lation in this state as will guarantee de-
posts in state banks.
We favor the amendment of the
primary election law so as TO authorize
political parties to call state conven-
tons for the purpose of adopting a
| declaration of principles which shall be
binding upon their candidates for
office.
We favor ali economic administra-
taxation shall not be unnecessarily
We earnestly invite the cooperation
of the electors Of this state, irrespective
of party utilization, in support of that
eminent commoner, William Jennings
Bryan, and the distinguished John W.
Kern, and the policies of the Dem
ocratic party.
