Washington. March I5.-Mary Shi-
nault. a negress. seventeen years old.
Killed her baby. forty one DAYS old. In
the Columbia hospital by forcing car
bOlic acid down the infants throat.
The girl was locked up.
Apparently not realizing what she
bad done. the Shinault girl told the
police that she did not want TO bring
up the child and take care Of Il, and
rather than take the baby away from
the hospital she had decided she would
kill Il.
Going back 10 her bed where she
had left her baby asleep she grabbed
the child up IN her arms and forcing
open its mouth began pouring the
poison down the infants throat One
OF the nurses had heard the girl get
up. and thinking that she might need
some attention went TO the ward She
was Just in time TO see the mother
pour the last OF the contents OF the
bottle down the cbild's throat
The house physician was summoned
but the baby lived less than FIVE min
utes. The acid had acted quickly and
death had almost been instantaneous
The girl told the police she was not
married and had killed the child be-
cause she wanted 20 get rid OF II.

people, so far as the national gov
ernment is concerned, and there is
httle doubt but that all the work of
the governments could be as effici-
emily and as well done IL the number

WHERE WILL DEMOCRATS
DRAW THE LINE

The Newport News Times Herald
points out with some evidences OF
qualification that Mr.. Taft does not
think shat the ship subsidy bill
which was defeated 10 the House on
Tuesday was an Internal fraud. -
Why should there be ground for
elation here2 Bounty 10 favored In
dustries from the public pocket Is a
firmly grounded Republican princi-
pie True, the form in which is wa
here presented was so crude shat
thirty Republicans could not stom
ach is. But les Republicans voted
Tor IL; and there was no more reason
60 suppose that Mr.. Taft would de.
nounce subsidy bounties as an ssln
fernal fraud" than that he would use
she same language OF high tariff
onunties. Language denunciatory
OF legislation which aims TO fatten a
lev favorites at the expense of the
rest OF US Is reserved for Democrats
or IL was until Democrats began to
resdjust their logic at the touch of
their interests.
The Democratic platform adopted
AZ Chicago on July 10, 1908. said:
We believe In she upbuilding of the
American merchant marine without
new or additional burdens upon the
people, aud without bountles from
th" public treasury. - Times-Dis-
patch.
The above utterancefrom the Dem
"cratic platform could not have been
stronger. Ship subsidies are repul-
sive to the Democratic ideas of our
people, but In latter days Democrat
ic representatives in Congress and
democratic newspapers seem willing
TO sacrifice Democratic principles, Il
by such sacrifice few people In their
districts may be pleased The ship
subsidy bill, like the high tariff bills,
was undemocratic and instead OF
meeting the approval OF our Newport
News contemporaries, should com
mand their severe disapproval so
long as they remain Democratic.
Newport News Democrats may favor
ship subsidies, but the large mass OF
those in the First Congressional dis
trics bitterly oppose this scheme OF
giving away the peoples money.
