Capt. Dan Ellis Dead.

Capt. Dan Ellis, the celebrated Car
ter county scout, died last Monday at
his home near Elizauethton at the age
of 70. He was veteron of the Mexi-
can and civil wars and told many in
teresting stories of his daring deeds of
both wars. He was Bob Tsylor's body
guard in his race with Maj. Pettibone
in 1878 and afterwards was given po-
sition at Washington under q demo-
cratic administration. He wrote q
booo OF hfs adventures but il is out OF
print. Capt. Ellis was noted charac-
ter and always carried shot gun until
he was too feeble to do so. He was
buried with militaro honors at the fam
lily graveyard.

Wealth ShOwered Upon Him.

Next to earning money the most de-
lightful way of securing it is to have
it showered upon you from a wise old
ancestor who purchased land he could
not sell and allowed some one to build
a city upon it, only to be claimed in
after years by loving relatives. Our
townsman, W. B. Coon, has every rea-
son to believe that he is to divide up
an estate worth $11 900, 900 in the cen
tire of New York. A Philadelphia pa
per says the case has been compromis.
ed. Mr.. Coon will receive about $780,
900. The large number of heirs make
this $11 900, 900 look like 80 cents but
its nice sum to have thrust upon you
and we congratu lale Mr.. Coon upon
the good Judgment of his ancestors.

Party Leadership and Following.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch, like
many another good democratic news
paper. is deeply troubled. Listen:
Since Mr.. Bryan will pass no self
denying ordinance on himself. the opin-
ion is overwhelming that new and vigor-
Gus leadership must arise which will
make this perennial willingness Of his
permanently futile. Where can such
leadership arise so properly as in the
south? What Is the democratic party
today except the south? And what has
southern democracy to learn or to expect
from Tom Taggart. Haskell and ''Fingy"
Conners?"
Excellent, as far as il goes. But it does
not solve the problem
Let us suppose a southern man Of abil-
ity and character-and there are many
such--at last in the limelight, with his
section solidly and resolutely behind him
in an effort to make the south the center
of things democratic. His friends pro-
claim him the new leader. and the other
sections are notified. Let us suppose him
accepted as Mr. Bryan's successor, and
non Snated for President. Then what?
This man cannot be elected by the
south. He must add to her votes the
votes of other states. and he seeks them
where they have often been sought by
other democratic nominees-in states
where at one time his party was strong.
Let us suppose him turning to Indiana.
He finds Mr.. Taggart his party's repre-

The Presidents Wide Scope

BY his personal participation yesterday
in the proceedings of the conservation
congress. President Roosevelt gave further
proof of his interest in the welfare of the
country. His speech before that body
stated the case clearly and convincingly.
Read in conjunction with his message to
Congress. also submitted yesterday, it dis
closes Mr.. Roosevelt as the chief inspra-
tional force in the work of reclamation
and restoration.
That portion Of the Presidents message
which relates to the preservation of the
forests admits of no logical rejoinder. It
is simply a statement of facts. and it is
folly to close the eyes to actual condi-
tons which undeniably menace the pros
perity Of the country. and which If I'M
changed by means of harmonious legis-
lative action by Congress and the states
will in few decades develop problems

Of the nation.
The Presidents message, indeed, points
afresh to the remarkable scope Of his

For Mr.. Taggart will be worthy Of his
hire, and will demand his wages. He will
want to represent Indiana behind the

keep his word.
This is what the southern democracy
can learn. and should learn. from Tag

AS Objectionable as they are. they are

The Smithsonian Institution Is to be

tuition, when the government was hiding
it's head in shame because the national
collections are very deficient in natural
history materials from the dark conti-
nent." an ex-President came to the res
cue, crossed the raging seas. invaded
trackless African wilds and filed long
felt national want. We wish Mr. Roose-
welt all the glory and the fullest meas
ure of success in his labors in behalf OF
science. May his name be writ large on
the pages of zoology and botany: may
his collections Of Africa fauna and fora
be the envy and despair Of all other ma
tons. He is In the service of Uncle
Sam. May all good luck, honor and also
the happiness to which a patriotic and
altruistic sportsman and scientist is en-
titled be his portion. The Smithsonian In
stitution is indeed fortunate In securing
the cooperation of Mr.. Roosevelt: and 1t
may be added that Mr.. Roosevelt liz to be
congratulated upon associating the Smith,
sonian with his dash into darkest Africa.
It is very happy community Of inter-

Deadly Weapons.

REPRESENTATIVE Sims bill to punish the
carrying of deadly weapons more severely
is excellent as a. cure for this evil as lar
as fl goes, but it does not reach the
source. 1t proposes to declare every per-
son-with certain necessary exceptions
who carries, concealed or openly. a pistol,
bowie knife. dirk, blackjack, dagger,
swordcane. slungshot or metal knuckles
guilty of a felony. to be punished on con-
yiction by Imprisonment for not less than
one nor more than three years. That is
lust the kind of law that is needed. not
only here. but elsewhere. to discourage
the practice of carrying life-taking weap-
ons But as long as men can buy without
check pistols. drks. knuckles and the
like they will continue to do so, taking
their chances on being detected. 1t is
obvious that the likelihood of catching a
weapon bearer is slight. Usually the pis
toll "toter'' who does not disclose HIM
self by taking life is caught through an
accident or he is arrested for some other
offense, and on being searched is found to
be armed. BY the very nature of the offense
it is difficult of ascertainment. 1t is, there
fore, urgently important to strike at the
source of the evil, the vendor, whose show
cases and windows are filled with crime
causing implements. tempting the evilly
disposed. the hot tempered. the jealous
and the revengeful. There will be no
real reform in this regard until the law
puts this traffic under stringent regula-
ton. AS Representative Sims had his
measure outlined before the House con-
vened. 1t included in its prohibition the
offering for sale and selling Of all weap-
Ons OF the interdicted descriptions. Until
some sale-regulating feature is added the
proposal stands merely as move toward
increase of the punishment of the gun
carrier when he is caught.

The Panama Charges.

Congress is asked to investigate certain
serious allegations respecting the Panama
canal. Did or did not certain Americans
share largely in the money paid In con-
nection with the acquiring by this gov
eminent of the property rights OF the
Panama Canal Company?
II IS not a new charge. but finds us
present interest in the notice given II ny
the President in his letter to William u
Foulke.
An important feature of the matter Is
the fact that the democratic nat1ona
committee refused to father the story III
the recent campaign. 1t took the matter
under consideration. but could not see It's
way clear to use the material. On IT'S
speciaI committee of Amusement was SEN
ator CuIherson. one of his party's most
DISTINGUISHED lawyers. 1t is to be as
suned, therefore, that the story as sub
mitted to him did not show sufficient sup
mort At any rate. the committee de-
clined it, and the story was used by GER
tain newspapers, but made no impression
on the voters.
Two of the names involved are those OF
Douglas Robinson and Charles P. Taft
Mr.. Robinson is a brother-in-law of Mr..
Roosevelt, and Mr.. Taft brother of Will
liam H. Taft. Both are men of the high
est standing in both social and business
circles Mr.. Roosevelt has spoken for
Mr. Robinson in explicit denial of the
charge as relating to him, and Charles T.
Taft speaks for himself. Mr.. Taft init
mates that he may take the matter into
court for redress of the wrong that he
asserts has been done to him.
In his letter to Mr.. Foulke the President
states that all of the papers in possession
of this government bearing upon the case
are and from the first have been. accessi-
BILE to every body with desire to inspect
them. Many of them have not been
printed because of their lack OF interest
for the public. But none has been con-
cealed. and all may be examined at any
time. The Presidents letter is almost IN
the tone of inviting an investigation.
This is not a proper matter with which
to play politics. and If that consideration
weighed with those democratic committee
men who would not indorse it for use III
Mr.. Bryan's behalf their judgment is to
be complimented. But now that the
presidential campaign is over. and the
matter has been revived In the fasnion
known, a formal investigation OF all tne
charges that have been made might very
well follow. The President does not feal
the suggestion. and Of course the Presi'
dent-elect does not. Mr.. Robinson Is
probably serene. and Charles P. Taft. sc
far from fearing an investigation by Con
sress, Is thinking of asking for one o!
