the United States are essentially democratic and
when the issue is clearly presented to them they
will express their sentiments at the polls, as they
did when they elected Cleveland it 1884 and again
in 1892. The republican party as it is now carried
on, is essentially aristocratic and monopolistic. en-
deavoring as far as it can to concentrate power
and control in the hands Of the few rather than in
the hands of the many, The democratic party is
the individualistic party, the republican party is
the party Of combinations. It would seem a pity
for us by indifference to throw away this great
government and grand country, which has been
built up by nearly a century and a half of effort
and based upon the rights of the individual and
upon the possibilities Of Individual advancement
and to turn the whole thing over to %coteries of
capitalists who are disposed to crush out oppo-
sition by any means, fair Or foul. One f%avorite
method adopted by the radicals Of each party is to
heap reproaches upon the heads of their own party
people who are not faithful to the standards that
these critics set up. Radical democrats advocate
free trade and hold to it as a cardinal principle Of
their party, which is not a fact and is an issue
which has only been gradually lugged into the
party platform and that generally through the de-
v%elopment of the cotton industry in the southern
states during the two Or three decades preceding
the civil war. The free trade idea was then lug
ged into the democratic platform by an aristocratic
people simply to utilize the great democratic vote
of the country for their political purposes, less ap-
parent at the time. The wheat growers of Mime
sofa and the Dakotas want free trade, because
their interests lie thor wav and vt tho ;cc,,oc ri

THINKS SUTTON MURDERED
Father of Miss Stewart Also Says She
Knew Him Slightly

Pittsburg, Penn, July 13.-Council-
man Charles Stewart of Pittsburg,
father of Miss Mary e. Stewart upon
whom Lieut.. Sutton called upon at
Annapolis in October 1907, on the
night he met his death, said yester-
day he thought the lieutenant had
been murdered.
Mr. Stewart says his daughter is
now at Staney Brae near Lake JOS
eph. Ontario. and will remain there
for some months. He does not intend
to have her called home for any in
vestigation, he says. She is in too
nervous condition, and he does not
think it necessary that she be exam
ined as she knows nothing about the
death of Sutton.
Il am inclined to believe with others
who knew more of the particulars
than | that Lieut.. Sutton was murder
ed" said Mr.. Stewart ut is not
right, however, that my daughter
should be brought into the case for
she was simply a visitor at Annapolis
at a time wnen my son was there.
She met Lieut.. Sutton at a hop and
knew him but slightly. She is girl
of but l9 years and the morning after
his death she tainted when she heard
the news.

CATCH MOTHS IN TRAPS
Powerful Reflectors Used in Unique
Manner to Rid Saxony of Pests

The municipal authorities of Zittau,
in Saxony, have discovered what
seems to be an excellent way to put
an end to the plague of brown nun
moths and caterpillars which in pre-
vious seasons have been ravaging tne
trees and doing tremendous damage.
The apparatus is to be put into use
this season, says the New York World.
The brown nun moths lay the eggs
from which the caterpillars come in
enormous quantities.
The moth trap, as 1t is called, con-
sists of two large and powerful retiec-
tors placed over a deep receptacle
and powerful exhaust fans. The whole
has been erected on the top of the
municipal electric plant at Zittau. At
night two great streams of light are
thrown from the reflectors on the
wooded mountain sides half a mile
distant
The results have been astonishing,
The moths, drawn by the brilliancy,
come fluttering in thousands along
the broad rays of light. When they
get within a certain distance from the
rehectors the exhaust fans take up
their work and with powerful cur
rents of air swirl them down into the
receptacle, where they are destroyed.
On the first night no less than three
tons of moths were caught. 1t has
been decided to build another trap on
the Rathaus tower, and the fight with
the moths will be continued.

Complied With Court Order.

railroad informs the railroad commits
sioners of this state, in a letter writ
ten from New York that the railroad

he company's holdings in the Wor-
lester - Southbridge, Worcester &

hire and the Springfield street rail-
way companies, and such other street
railway interests as it may hold in

company sent to the Legislature a
report stating that the arrangements
for disposing of the stock were not
fully completed and that to accom-
plish the sale the company should
be allowed the full time without hav-
ing to answer detailed inquiries about
cransitory stages of the large finan-
cial transactions necessarily involved
in which individual third parties are
also necessarily involved.

THAWS HOPES FOR
FREEDOM ON THE
UP GRADE
Commission viii Pass Upon
His Mental Condition
THREE ALIENlSTS TO DECIDE
State Viii Probably Select Two and
Third viii be Chosen by coun-
sci in Case

White Plains, N. Y, July 13.-If
counsel can agree. a commission of
three alienists, mutually selected, will
pass upon the question of Harry X.
Thaw's sanity. This was practically
decided before adjournment yester-
day at a continuation of the hearing
before Justice Mills, in which coun-
sci for Stanford Whites slayer is
trying to establish his right to re-
lease from the asylum for the crimi-
nal insane at Matteawan
With all of the testimony in
favor of Thaw and vita the indica.
ton that his wife, Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw, will take the stand in his be-
half; with District Attorney William
Travers Jerome eliminated, Thaw's
chances for release appear brighter
than at any time since his commit
ment.
After string of witnesses who tes-
titled to Thaw's soundness OF mind
had told their story. Roger Clark,
deputy attorney general, who is con-
Quoting the peoples case, informed
the court that he had been so much
impressed by Thaw's intelligent in
terest in the issues at stake that he
was willing to concede Thaw's rignt
to full and impartial examination.
He suggested that counsel for
Thaw and counsel for the people
agree to a commission of three ex-
pert alienists, whose decision should
be accepted by both parties to the
suit without reservations or equivoca-
tions. Charles Morschauser, for
Thaw. was agreeable and asked that
DR.. Baker superintendent of the
state asylum and DR.. Austin Flint,
be named as two of the three.
Justice Mills favored the sugges-
tion for a commission, but was of
opinion that the state ought to name
two of the three experts. With that
exception, he left the personnel of
the commission to be determined by
counsel for both sides.
Mr. Morschauser pressed for an
other advantage for his client by ask
ing the court, that in the event OF
the selection of commission in
lunacy, that anyone who had testified
in previous proceedings be barred
from the examination now in pro-
gress Justice Mills left this point
also to be decided by counsel.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, who has been
living quietly in retirement of late
may take the stand. She has aban-
doned vacation plans, it is announced,
in order to appear for her husband.
The Testimony heard from iailers
real estate dealers, clergy
men a dentist and a reporter-all
called by Tnaw, was uniformly in his
favor
An innkeeper thought Thaw per
fectly sane, except that on one oc-
casion ne had refused the witness
invitation to take drink with him.
He admitted under cross-eXamination
that he had known rational persons
to decline a drink.

YOUNG AERONANT
FLIES OVER CITY
OF NEW YORK
Frank GoodaIe's DirigibIe Gives
Broadway a Sensation.
RETURNS TO STARTING POINT
Fifty Minute Flight in Which Balloon
Assembled to Height of 1000
Feet

New York, July 13.-Frank w.
Goodale, the boy aeronaut of Toledo,
gave several thousand New. Workers
a decided surprise yesterday by sud
denly appearing a thousand feet or
more in the air with ais dirigible bal
loon over the city.
GooGale was in the air exactly fifty
minutes. He left his headquarters at
Palisade Park, on the New Jersey
shore above Fort Lee Ferry, at $40
a. M, and came down on the exact
spot from which he assembled at $3.50.
In his former experiences in cross
ing the Hudson, Goodale has always
found that tne cold current of as
cending air causes the gas in the bal
loon TO condense rapidly To prevent
this as much as possible he rose
rapidly at the start until he was at
an altitude of over 1900 feet. He
then sailed over the river, making a
diagonal course, reaching the Man
haitian shore at about 10lst street.
Still keeping a diagonal course he
sailed over Riverside Drive to Eighty
eighth Street, and from that point
he made practically straight course
down Broadway, diverging a little
above Ffty-ninth Street, where he
crossed the lower end of the Park
passing almost over the roof of the
Plaza.
On his homeward trip Goodale
found northwest wind against him
at about 1000 feet in the air, but he
made a straight run up Broadway to
Eignty-sixth Street, then swung over
toward the river, passing over the
Soldiers and Sailors monument at
river at slightly diagonal line and
running up to the Palisades along the
TarSpv ehOrp
