Both Doing Well.

The Hague, April 30.-Wilhelmina,
Queen of the Netherlands, gave birth
to daughter this morning. The con-
dition of Her Majesty is satisfactory,
the infant princess is doing well, and
Holland is celebrating the happy
event from one end of the country to
the other with expressions of joy such
as seldom have been witnessed among
this placid people.
The political significance of the oc-
casion lies in the fact that there is
now an heir to the throne of The
Netherlands, a circumstance that very
greatly enhances the chances of the
country for continued independence.
Every town and village in Holland
is today celebrating the long-awaited
birth of child to Her Majesty, who
was married to Prince Henry OF
Mecklenburg- -Schwerin, February Z
1901.
Prince Henry at once te1egraphed
his mother, advising her of the happy
event, and adding that the condition
of the queen was most satisfactory
Heralds, accompanied by trumpeters
clad In ancient Dutch dress, made the
rounds of the city, halting at the prin-
|cipal squares and other suitable
spots to make, after due fanfares, the
proclamation.

TAFT ATTENDS CELEBRATION
IN HONOR OF FIRST PRESIBENT
One Hundred and Twentieth Anniyer
sary of First Inauguration of
George Washington.

Alexandria, Va, April 30.-With
President Taft and many other per-
sons of note in attendance and with
an interesting program of exercises,
the celebration here today of the 12Oth
anniversary of the first Inauguration
of George Washington as President of
the United States proved red letter
day in the history of Alexandria.
During the early forenoon hum
dreds of visitors poured into the city
by boat and train: The presidential
party from Washington and Governor
Swanson, his staff and other state of
ficials from Richmond were among the
arrivals. A number of senators and
representatives in Congress also were
included among the visitors.
The city was elaborately decorated
in honor of the occasion. King street,
Washington street and other leading
thoroughfares were dressed from end
to end in the national colors. Espe-
ciallay elaborate were the decorations
along along the route of the parade,
which was one of the features of the
celebration. The procession compris-
ed detachments of the regular army
and state militia, the famous Rich
mond Blues, and representatives OF
numerous patriotic societies. Occu-
pying seats on the reviewing stand
were the President and several mem
bers Of his Cabinet, Governor Swan
son and staff, Lieutenant-G
El1yson, Senator John w. Daniel, Con-
| gressman Charles G.. Carlin and a
number of other leading men of the
state and nation.
| The celebration eliminated in the
dedication of the George Washington
Park, spacious and beautiful tract
of land west of the city which has
been set aside as permanent memo
rial to the first President. The cere
monies incident to the dedication
which included addresses by Cover
nor Swanson and others, were con
Quoted under the auspices Of the AL
exandria Lodge of Masons.

THE PRESIDENTS TRAIN.

Representative Dwight proposes to
build a train consisting of at least
three cars-a baggage car, a sleeping
car and a private car-for the exclu-
sive use of the President of the United
States. This train is to cost $4,000,
and the sum of $25, 900 is to be annu-
ally appropriated to meet the expenses
of the trips Of the President, his guests
and his attendants.
There is nothing dangerous in this
favors from railroads has gone never
to return, and all sections of the coun-
try desire to see the chief executive
to shake him by the hand and to hear
his voice and his advice. To ask Che
President to bear the expense OF
travel in style beftting the Office he
holds is unreasonable. A big, rich
country should foot the bills, and the
bill of Congressman Dwight should
become law.
The last Congress increased the pay
of the President to $4,000 year, but
it failed to provide for his travelling
expenses. In this way the increase OF
salary became little or no increase al
all, and the only way in which the
President can be left with a salary o
$75,00e consists in giving him an am
pie travel fund. There is no goOt
reason why this should not be done.

s.THE UNsPEAKABLE TURK"

Russia has fought two wars in order
to punish Turkey for the massacre of
Armenians, and if the powers had let
Russia have her way an end would
have been put to Turkish atrocities in
Armenia
The province lies in the mountains
adjoining the Caucasian provinces OF
Russia, and is a part of Asiatic Tur-
key, near the east end of the Black
Sea. The Armenians are Christians
while Asia Minor is full of Moslems
Between the fanatics of that country
and the army of Turkey itself the
Armenians are sore1y harassed, and
have been from time out of mind.
The powers were ready enough to
protect Christians in China when the
Boxer uprising occurred, and they
should be equally ready to protect the
Armenians. These people have clung
to their homes and their religion
against wrongs of every imaginable
sort, and it does seem as if the powers
should act together to bring the long
suffering Armenians relief.

SOUTHERN MUNICIPAL CONGRESS
Atlanta to Have a Congress of Repre-
sentatiyes of Southern Cities.

Atlanta, Ga, May 1.-The proposed
municipal congress, to be held here at
an early date under the auspices of
the chamber of commerce, will bring
together the city authorities and stu
dents of municipal affairs from all
sections of the South and the indica-
tions are that it will be one of the
most notable events in the history of
the city and of the South.
While the date of the congress has
not been definitely fixed as yet, the
probabilities are that it will be held
in the near future and even the pre-
liminary announcement has awaken
ed a great deal of enthusiasm.
The new auditorium offers special
facilities for such a meeting, and as
a prominent citizen put it yesterday
people are always glad of an excuse
to come to Atlanta"
Municipal government has come to
be one of the most profound and ex-
tensive sciences of the day. A city OF
the size of Atlanta, for instance, con-
tains more inhabitants than there
were in many of the colonies at the
time the government of the United
States was established. The complex
tiles of municipal life under existing
forms of civilization and enlighten.
ment present problems which are en-.
tirely worthy of the best thought o1
the people of the country. It is thai
branch of government in which the
people most directly participate anG
the effects of which bear on then
most Immediately.
The collective wisdom of the lead
ing citizens of many communities ha:
a special value. The interchange o.
views and experience cannot fail tt
| be of universal benefit.
The representatives of the South
ern municipalities who will be in at
tendance upon this congress will re
ceive a hearty welcome from the peo
pie of Atlanta, who are always aler
to any question of municipal improve
ment.

Interesting Scene in Office of Cover
nor Kitchin Thursday-Shot
Negro.

Raleigh, N. c., April 29.-There was
an interesting scene in Governor
Kitchin's Office today. Mrs. II. F. Grif-
fin and her two little children and
many friends from Hamlet, pleading
for pardon for her husband, who as a
policeman there last July shot and
killed Sandy Gilchrist, disorderly
and dangerous negro, and who was
sentenced to a year in the peniten-
tiary. Two weeks ago Griffin surren-
dered himself, asked for commitment
papers, telling the judge the sentence
was harsh and unjust, but that he had
always obeyed the law, came alone to
Raleigh and delivered himself to the
penitentiary authorities.
Thirty of his friends, including
leading people of his town, begged the
Governor to pardon him. Hundreds
of others join in the request.

STANDING TRUE.

The Democrats of the Senate are
committed by their national platform
to an income tax, and they are stand
ing firmly and solbdly up to their par
ty pledges.
But this is not the case with the
Republicans Of the Aldrich, sort, and
yet in all honesty they were commit
ted by Mr.. Taft to an income tax. For
in his speech of acceptance made on
July %, 1908, their candidate tor
President said: In my judgment, an
amendment to the constitution for an
income tax is not necessary. believe
that an income tax, when the protec-
tive system of customs and the inter-
nal revenue tax shall not furnish in
come enough for governmental needs,
can and should be devised which un-
der the decisions of the Supreme
Court will conform to the censtitu-
tion."
When Candidate Taft suggested the
adoption of an income tax in his ac-
ceptance speech he committed his sup
porters to it. And today the Western
Republicans are standing true to Mr..
Taft's acceptance speech. 1t is the
East-New England, in short-that is
opposing an income tax. The East is
willing to lay customhouse duties on
the necessaries of life; it is ready to
do anything under the sun to avoid
the tax that Mr.. Taft commended in
his acceptance speech.
II the Aldrichites do succeed in de-
feating an income tax, will Mr.. Tai
have the courage to be true to his
speech of acceptance made at the be-
ginning of the campaign last July
This is the question of the hour, ane
the A1drichites may be treated to {
dose of honest politics that will caus'
them to sit up and take notice.
