Instead of toiing through life with
selfish aim Of securing an exceptional good

1T matters not whether the great world
process, the universal system of expert

always changing, always improving, and
this is the force employed by Luther Bur-

through life should be carefully pointed out
perhaps not for the benefit of influencing
of changing the ideas of his friends and

creed of a Freethnker and nationalist.
No better evidence of the noble spirit

There is a story told of an Irishman
who sent for a lawyer and told him he
wanted to make his will. The lawyer came
with papers, pen and ink, and witnesses to
witness Pats last will and testament. Pat
wiled one hundred pounds to his uncle;
fifty pounds to his cousin, and liberal
amount to various other friends.
The lawyer expressed surprise at the ex-
tent of Pats wealth, to which Pat an
swered: "Shure, l have nothing at all, at
ALL but that is what would give them if

ibad Livingston, who recently died at
Monticello, Iowa. The address was de-
lvered by Parker H. Sercombe, Editor OF
Tomorrow Magazine, who had been select
ea for that purpose Mr.. Sercombe said
in part
IN accordance with custom as old as
antiquity we are met here to perform the
last sad rites over your friend and neigh
Dor, Archibald Livingston You are as
sembled in this instance to pay tribute TO
the passing of a real man OF the type OF
Paine, Ingersoll and Franklin, man with
the courage of his convictions, ready in the
interest of his mental integrity to speak
his belief according to his conviction, with
regard to the unpreparedness of human
society or the strength Of the opposition
that might be hurled against him.
Archibald Livingston was a man, who
loved nature. He was friend to the flow
ers, the trees and the birds. AS far as he
could prevent it he would not permit any
living thing to suffer needless ueath. He
loved the sunshine and the storm and
would often go out in the darkness of the
night to commune with the thunder and
lightning and study the language of the in
visible forces. His inherent gentleness,
integrity and love of nature is characters
tic of the true nationalist of him, who re-
cAives his revelation through the study of
life and nature, making comparison of the
basic law discovered in each field of in
quiry.
I'm the course of time, in the struggle
of mankind 10 place intelligence on a work

moral integrity to stand forth supreme
among their fellows and fight for a cause
or a belief that bore the stigma of unpopu-

1T has always been favorite slogan of
the orthodox church men to assume that
the nationalist, the nonbelever in the ira
ditiona forms of mysticism, handed down
from antiquity, offered no hope for the liv-
ing and no solace for the dead but an ex-
animation of the concepts and feelings of
the true nationalist discloses a warrant for
the living so profound, with an altruism so
deep. as to place all forms of selfish mo-
ives for attaining everlasting life in COM
plete oblivion.

Something In This.

1t is a very grave question as
to whether law making the pen
atty Tor kidnapping capital punish
rlent is a wise provision. Of course
everyone will feel that hanging is
none too good for such offenders.
but the stolen child is the matter
OF hrst consideration. The theory
OF law is to prevent crime through
tear OF its vengeance. but it doesn't t
always prevent and, as was the case
with the Whitla child, after the
kidnapers have gotten away with
their prey how will they act with
1t! If the crime is made one for
capital punishment and they are
pressed too hard by the officers of
the law, would not the first i'm
pulse be to take the most effective
means OF removing all evidence of
guilt by doing away with the child.
A murder couldn't add to the Sc
verify of their punishment anyway
SO, IN our opinion, it would be
wiser to leave the penalty as it is
and take greater precaution in pre-
venting kidnapping. = WahAman.
There are two sides to every
question, and while many people
feel that a kidnaper ought to be
hanged. it is a question whether
this penalty would prevent the
crime. Prevention of crime is as
much, if not more, tie object of
law, as its punishment. In some
states rape is capital offense, but
1t does not prevent rape. In most
states murder is punishable with
hanging, but we daily read of
murders. There is a great deal of
force in what the Watehman saws
on the subject.

that President Taft should have
urged Governor Curry of New
Mexico to retain his position of
Governor until his term expires.
Curry resigned and with good
reason, for there are serious charges
against his administration in the
Senate committee on Territories
and, moreover, he was seriously
offended at the order of the Secre-
tary of the Interior that all terri
torial officials should remain in
their territories instead of coming
to Washington to lobby for state
hood and other legislation. Gener-
ally the order will be commended
as it has been little short of a
scandal the manner in which the
territorial officials have induced
their legislatures to appropriate
funds for travelling expenses and
then have expended them, coming
to the national capital and staying
at high priced hotels while they
sought to influence legislation.

Associates in Union County Take Matters in
Their Own Hands.

A dispatch from Lewisburg saws:
a case similar to that of a few
weeks ago at Bloomsbury, when
Associate Judges Krickbaum and
Yeager overruled Judge Evans, and
awarded liquor license to a man
whom the president judge had re-
fused, has developed in the Union
county court. Judge Harold Nc
Clure has been overruled by Asso.
ciate Judges w. w. Brown and
George M. Erglehart, at license
court, III the application of w. f.
Ungard, of Allenwood, against
whose application a remonstrance
was filed. The total population of
Gregg township, men, women and
is AIS The number of
registered voters is lS5. A remon-
STRANGE against the application of
Ungard was signed by $50 resi-
dents, 90 of which were voters,
and no signer under the age of 81
years. Judge Mcclure refused to
grant this license, but was prompt,
ly overruled by his associates.
The Judge filed a dissenting opin-
ion.

April. There is a change in the
waistllne and surprise in some of
the imported skirts-they are grow.
ing wider-and as for the little
touches which are always so i'm
portant in the new gowns, they are
soon to march before us in a long
long procession.
"Of course there is a surnr;s. IN
the hats. From the overturned
conspicuous winter hat we have the
imported spring hat, a model OF
simplicity. Amoug the millinery

Working An other BuncO.

The Republican members of the
ways aud means committee have la
bored for four and a half months
and have brought forth the Pavne
tariff bill. The net effect of this
measure, even if it should become a
law exactly as it now stands, would
be, according to the estimates of
the committee itself, to increase the
customs revenue by $40, 900, 900 to
$50, ,ooo, 900 a year. In other
words, il is an additional tax upon
the consumers of the country of
$40, 900, 600 to $50, ,ooo, 600 annual
ly. This is the Republican party
response to the demand on the part
q the people for revision of the
rjlf. 1t is another bunco game,
and simple.
VI first blush, when considering
lst of some eighteen or twenty
icles upon which a reduction of
,.-ty is made, the bill may appear
10 be revision downward, but a
closer examination of the various
schedules discloses, even to the tar
iff layman, that such is not the
case A measure which increases
taxation by $50, ,ooo, 900 year can
scarcely be properly regarded as a
measure of reduction, even by those
who are not acquainted with the in
tricacies of tariff schedules. When
this fact is poiuted out to the Re-
publican leaders, they make the
plea that the increase is made nee
essary in order to meet the running
expenses of the government.
While this may be true from a Re-
publican standpoint, it is also plain
that the Republican party intends
to exercise no economy in the main
tenance of government, but is bent
upon continuing its policy of ex-
travagance, its big expenditures
for keeping up the great military
arm of the government. and all the
other reckless waste of public funds.
The Payne bill, therefore, means,
if it means anything. that there is
to be no curtailment of gigantic ex
penses during the present admins
traticn, and that in order to keep
up these expenditures the tariff
must be revised so as to produce
more revenue.
At the same time the frameis ol
the measure are anxious to have
the impression made that the bill is
a revision downward" and tc
this end they have seen fit to EN-
phasize the reductions which have
been made upon certain articles
The fact remains however, tha
upon the great majority OF imports
there is practically no change from
the existing schedules, and the ex
actions of the highly protected in
dustries will continue as heretofore
In short, it has been the policy O
the tariff makers to disturb n
special interest in the exercise O
the privilege which it has unde
the tariff. 1t is notable fact that
generally speaking, where redue
tions are provided for in the bill
the industries concerned will in ei
rect, be as we'll protected as the
are now, so that the advantae
which the consumer should gain
tariff reduction is entirely discoun
ed. This is especially true of tt
steel schedule, for the great Ste
Trust is absolutely free from fe,
OF foreign competition, with
without tariff; it is also true
other large industries to less
extent. - /oAnstoaOa Democrat.

CITES JUDGE FOR CONTEMPT
Juvenile Court Judge Gunnell to Ap-
pear Before District Judge
Howell

indications point to a thorough airing
i'm court of the marital relations Of Mrs
Emily u. Prestin. In the case Of this
woman against oliver Belnap for the pos
session OF Dora Jane. a minor child, Judge
j. A. Howell issued an order yesterday
% the effect that Oliver Belnap ana Vol
ney =. Gunnell, judge of the juvenile
court. should appear in district court at
le O'Clock July g, and show cause why
they should not be declared in contempt
OF court for interfering with the order OF
the court of July i9, 1885, awarding the
custody of the child TO the mother. This
was at the time Mrs. Prestin was granted
a decree Of divorce from oliver Belnap.
Judge HoWelis ORDER yesterday also pro-
Eidcd that oliver Belnap pay attorney 3
fees and court costs
Another phase of the complication was
notice servCd by the attorney for Oliver
Beinap TO the effect that motion would
he made to have Judge Howell rescind his
order of Yesterday on the ground that
Mrs Prestin, as alleged. is vicious and
corrupt woman, and that she is leading
the child. Dora Jane, into a vicious and
corrupt life Also on the ground that the
juvenile court did have Jurisdiction
proper function. This motion Will be
made at $3.50 on the morning of July 9,
half-hOur before the parties are cited to
appear for contempt.
When the fight for Dora Jane Belnap
came up i'm Judge Gunneils juvenile C 1urt
earlier in the day the attorneys for Mrs
Prestin filed a demurrer to the complaint
of Oliver Belnap. setting forth that the
district court had given the woman Gus
tody of the child at the time Of the d.
vorce. After the demurrer had been ar
gued Judge Gunneli refused to dismiss the
action, holding that his court was the
proper tribunal in which TO try the ques-
ton as to 4whether Mrs. Prestin is
proper person to have the custody of the
child The case was continued until to-
day. when evidence will be introduced to
show the environment i'm which the girl
has been living.
A restraining order was issued by Judge
Howell in the district court against the
father of the child and the juvenile court
until the question of Jurisdiction is dis
posed Of This is taken to put an end to
all proceedings until July g.
