A MEMORIAL. SERVICE.
We had the rare privilege Of at

| great novelist and man of letters,
George Meredith. held in Westminis-
ter abbey on May %, His death
brought up once more the long vexed
question as to just how great man.
must become to entitle him to inter-
ment in Westminster. and for several,
| days the papers have been full OF Il
| discussion as to whether or not.
| Meredith should receive the honor.
| The matter lies absolutely in the
| hands of the dean of Westminster
who need give no reasons for
| his decision So he said no to an APP
peal from all the literary men of Lon

cremated and the ashes inferred at the

and very impressive it was to watch, the

SPECTACLE.

Paris.-The French mind being pre-
eminently logical, there is demand
for change in the method of exc
cutting death sentences The law pro.
.vides that they be performed in a pub
lie place.
In practice no member of the pub
lie, strictly speaking, saw anything of
the recent guillotining, the only eye
witnesses being $50 journalists, a
dozen mounted gendarmes, and 20
policemen.
The difficulty of finding place for
the guillotine since La Roquette
prison was pulled down always has
been preferred as an excuse for the
practical abolition of capital punish
ment which Paris enjoyed or suffered
in the last decade.
That this difficulty no longer exists
was shown when the guillotine was
erected in the middle of the yard of
Sante prison.
Opposite the wall are the grounds
of huge, unoccupied convent, so that
nothing overlooked the spot. The only
drawback was that there was no door
to the prison on this side, and there
fore the condemned, leaving by door
in Sante street at right angles with
the Boulevard Arago,. was driven
some seventy yards along this street
and then $50 to the place of death

About 3:45 a. m. Executioner Deib-

tine. Without the sound of hammer
and without spoken word of COM
mand, the machine was put together
by the light of a candle Pickering in

extinguished the light and all was
ready. The knife was run up to the
top, but no test drop was made, SO
confident was Deibler in his men and
the machine.
The dawn of a summer day re-
vealed the maroon colored wood of
Justice" It's position among trees
robbed it of much of it's terrors.
Shortly 1t was fully daylight. The
prison van came round the corner up
the boulevard and stopped opposite
the guillotine. Two men let down the
back, which formed steps from the
vehicle, down which came first the
prison governor, then a priest, and
then a figure which might have been

had it's hands fastened behind its
back and a loose covering hanging
from its shoulders. The body was
naked except for linen trousers. Over
the face hung a black veil, thin
enough to allow the features to be
visible.
The code prescribes that patricides
must be taken to the scaffold with
bare feet and yelled head.
Duchewin, the condemned, was 2S
years old, but the livid face might
have been that of man any age over
60. 1t was the face OF a man without
the consciousness or feeling of any
kind, man for whom the bitterness
of death already had passed.
Deibler's aids seized the cloak and
veil and conducted the condemned
three PAGES between the van and the
machine, laid him in place, and the
knife fell. The body was pushed into
a basket.
Within is seconds from the time
the prison van stopped the knife had
fallen.

The PASSING OF OemOCrdGl.

In the vote on the iron ore
schedule In the senate was once
more demonstrated the fact that
the national democratic party of
today is without principles and
Issues. Free raw materials was
the capsheaf of former democratic
tariff principles, their rallying
cry IN several campaigne, and the
policy on which Grover Cleve-
land gained Leadership.
Thursday when it was proposed
to tako iron ore from the free
list where the house had placed
1t and put on duty of Is cents a
ton, eighteen democrats voted
with the republicans in favor of
the change. Their votes carried
the day for the iron ore tariff
because fourteen republicans
voted against it, a number which
added to the solid democratic
strength would have beaten it..
The same democrats it is said
will vote to restore the tariff on
lum Der, hides and coal.
What issue the democrats will
raise in the next campaign is
problematical. They cannot use
tariff'for-revenue-only because too
large an element in congress has
united with the republicans in
treating the tariff question sensi-
bly,. Bryau's curious currency
notions have long since been re-
pudiated, and "imperialism" Is
an established sensible fact. The
eighteen democratic senators de-
serve credit for properly repre-
senting the best interests of their
constituents, but they certainly
have stripped their party to moth
ing but a name, and not very
good name at that.-Wheeling In

Tariff Tinkering.

This attempted tariff revision
In congress shows the intense
selfisEness of human nature about
the plainest it has been shown
for a long time. New England
(about the size OF a garden patch
compared with the rest of the
United States) having profited
more than any other section by a
protective tariff, seems now in
tent on destroying it entirely, ex-
cept to the extent that it will CON
tinue to benefit herself in par.
ticular. Her manufacturing in
dustries having advanced further
than those of any other part of
the country, she now sees it to BIZ
to her interest to keep any other
section from developing Compel
ing enterprises. Particularly she
would like the raw materials,
fuels and all other elements
which enter into her manufactur.
ed products, to come as cheap as
possible. The nufactured pro-
ducts complete, which che has to
sell, must be protected so as to
be sold for the greatest price.
The present effort at tariff
legislation should convince the
South particularly about the fool
lshness of it's anti-protectionist
ideas. The South must and will
become a strong protectlonist
section. The present tariff de.
bates IN congress show that manv
of its foremost men, without re-.
gard to party, are al last breaking
away from their old hidebound
political prejudice, and realizing
their true interests.
stranger Things have happened
than that within the next twenty
years the political sectional lines
of this country will be obliterated
and possibly the south may be
republican, and what few demo.
Gratis s'ill exist will be found in
the Notwithstanding Dispatch
News.

NATHAN f. KENDALL, republi.


can member Of congress- from
Iowa, has introduced in the house
gu anti-ipjunction bill which pro
vides that no injunction or re-
straining order shall be issued
without notice; that no agreement
for action shall be termed a cen
spiracy unless the act agreed
upon would be crime if com.
mitted by an individual (; and that
contempt of court shall not be
punished until after conviction
by jury. 1t would be interest
ing to know what was Mr.. Ken
dalrs purpose in introducing til is
bill. If it was merely piece of
cheap politics, intended solely to
gain him votes in his district and
introduced with the full purpose
OF permitting it to die In commit
tee, 1T would be merely of a piece
with many such deplorable and
lnsincere acta of demagogues, not
statesmen. But Mr.. Kendall an
nounces that he is "in deadly
earnest" and purposes to work
might and day to secure the
passage of the measure. But to
what purpose? Is not the Iowa
representative sufficiently famil-
lar with the views of President
Taft to know that such a bill
would be vetoed as promptly as it
reached the White House? With
democratic majorities in both
houses of congress and with MIR.
Bryan In the White House such a
measure might become a law, for
1t is In entire accord with the
promises contained in Mr.. Bryan's
platform, although the democrats
never regard party promises as
made to be fulfilled, When Mr..
TAFT was nominated he was told
he must remain silent on his
views regarding anti.injunction
Legislation or he would be de.
feated. His reply was to 60 prac
tically all over the country ad

tute such a blow at the judicial
power of the United States. And
the answer Of the iaboring men
was to snap their fingers in the
face of their leader Gompers and
to roll up majorlties for Taft
larger than the most sapguine
dared to expect. The laboring
men cheered Judge Taft when he
told them to their face that he
would never approve a measure
which deprived the courts of the
right to grant injunotions, to
punish for contempt without iury
trial. or to forbid conspiracies
calculated to destroy mans
business, even though the same
act committed by one man would
no more be crime than it would
a conspiracy. What then is Mr.

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach if
1t is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat a suflic-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do il.
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do Is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help:
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.
