get on their ear right, it is pointed out
they will be able to make progress
with the scheme.
1t Is believed that this movement
will have a wide effect throughout the
spread opinion that Taggart ought to
be eliminated from the control of the
party organization in the state AL
though Governor Marshall and Taggart
apparently made up their differences
during the talk they had at the Deni-
son hotel few weeks ago, the fact re-
mains that Kern and Lamb are still
sore over the way they were treated
last winter in the race for United
States senator, when Taggart's influ-
ence was used for the election Of Sen
ator Shively. For long time there
was a suspicion that Taggart himself
would be a candidate for senator, and
Kern tried for weeks to find out wheth-
err he really would be a candidate or
not. Taggart would not tell him.
Kern Is Still Sore.
1t is the belief of the Kern followers
that during all of that time Taggart
kept his own intentions under his hat
merely in order to more completely eff
feet the Shively organization and bring
about his election. Kern, soon after
the election of Shively, gave out a
statement in which he charged that he
had been double crossed by Taggart
and his crowd, and ever since he has
had it in for Taggart politically. Kern
and Marshall have been the best OF
friends ever since then, and it is said
they consult each other frequently now
on political matters. Each believes
that Taggart and the interests which
he represents should be knocked out
and the democratic organization taken
away from them, but whether they
have anything to do with the proposed
organization of an anti-Taggart club
in the Eleventh ward is not known.
Unquestionably there is a strong an.
ti-Taggart sentiment among demo-
Gratis out in the state. For months
work has been going on in the direc-
ton of bringing about reorganization
of the state committee along lines that
would be acceptable to Marshall, Kern
and the element that follows them. 1t
is known that men have been consid-
cred in the various districts for district
chairman and that in most of the dis
tricts selections have been made Of
men whom the anti-Taggart people
will support, but just how extensive
this support will be. cannot now lie
foretold If Taggart had been able 10

there is no doubt but that he would
have been the biggest democrat in the
state.

The Noise Of the City,
ROSfOn Ira nSrriDf

From the Boston Transcript.
The movement for the prevention of
unnecessary noises in cities has ap-
parent.y gained such force as no long
er to be liable to the impeachment of
being the fad of particular individuals
1t is now discussed in newspapers and
magazines with reference to the nois-
es that must be and the noises that
may be. how the formersmay be mini
mized and the latter may be abolished.
Discrimination is taking the place of
hysterical attempts to bring about an
absolutely noiseless city. which were
temperamental reactions against that
cacophany which public apathy and
the public delusion that violence and
energy are the same had combined.

The MoiA

The most courageous Of all living
things is, by common consent OF nat
uralists, the mole. Seemingly with
out any sense Of fear whatever. the
mole will fight anything that crosses
its path. 1t never raises the white
flag. Neither giving nor asking quar-
ter, it tears away at its adversary un-
til it kills it or is itself killed. The
mole's appetite is in keeping with its
courage. and it thinks nothing OF eat
ing its own weight. In appetite the
spider - 4 close second to the mole.
but when It comes to fighting the

Less Insoient Tones Wanted.

The innocent pedestrian sometimes
feels that it is bad enough to be
honked at while making his leap for
life and dash for the curb without hav-
ing the note of insolence added to the
horrifying sounds emitted by some of
the auto horns. It's like rubbing it in
with insult added to injury. Strange
that sheer commercialism, if not com.
plaisance, does not give manufacture

ANOTHER DEEP BLACK SPOT.

Oconee Is again called upon to
bow her head low in n:ourning,
shame and degradation.
The foul, brutal murder, last Mon
day night, almost within sight and
hearing Of the Court House Of Oco-
nee, Is a blot on the fair name of the
county that the cycles of time can
never wear away.
Hundreds o. citizens from far and
near visited the scene of the tragedy
facessof two Of the bravest officers by
whom the Federal revenue service
has ever been honored; two men
who had never hinched from duty
nor admitted that in the English Ian
guage there was such a word as fear.
Lying there prone upon the
ground, their faces white and cold
in death, eyes wide and staring into
the blue of heaven above, the pros
trate forms appeared as mute ap-
peals to an offended God and an out
ragged people for--what? Revenge,
retaliation? No! For simple JUS
tice! The blood Of these two men
cries out from the very soil of Oco-
nee for her every citizen to rise in
their united strength and stamp out
the lawlessness, the recklessness, the
cowardice and craven brutality that
makes such horrors in ID civilized
community possible.
That same blood of the Corbins
and OF others cries loudly to every
citizen to put upon all lawlessness
the stamp Of stern disapproval; to
fall into the fight. heart and soul,
for higher type of citizenship and
civilization.
That same blood cries out to the
juries all over South Carolina, "Men,
do your duty though the heavens
fall"
That same blood cries out to the
lawyers Of this county and State to
do their duty; to see that their eli
ents have every protection guaran-
teed by the law for fair and i'm
partial trial; but in Gods name to
stop this everlasting pulling Of GRIM
inals through loop-holes and techni-
calities into safety and freedom out
side OF the pale Of the law.
That same blood appeals to every
Circuit Judge in the State to turn a
deaf ear to the continual appeals for
OOSt n0npmpnt rrip,inal h,
which means case after case has been
worn thread-bare and the ends of
justice defeated.
That same blood appeals through
its own power, and through the
bleeding hearts of loved ones bereft,
to the men Of this country to do
their duty; to stop winking at the
minor ofenses that eventually grow
into murders; to lay aside that spirit
OF false humanity that turns the
criminal loose here only to infict
pain and death in another quarter.
TO every citizen OF Oconec the an
peal comes loud and strong, Rise i'm
your might, men, and stand by the
law. Let no innocent one be pun
ished, but let no guilty one escape.
Every man to his post! Law and
order must prevail. Let no man
swerve an iota from Duty, and it will
prevail. Every citizen should rise
at this call Of blood to see that JUS
tice-stcrn justicc-is meted to the
criminal, let the criminal be whom
he may-high or low, rich or poor.

Fishhawk Nest on Telephone Pole.

Fishhawks built their nests on the
PrOvidenCe.Fall river toll line OF the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, in the town Of Swanzey.
The fiishhawks feed in the small
streams that flow into Mount Hope
hay, and build their nests In nearby
trees or other convenient places. The
best place seems to be on the top Of
a high pole and where there are
plenty Of wires to hold the foundation
for a nest and also to protect them.
They usually build in late spring or
early summer.
Trouble does not show up on the
wires unless there Is lot Of wet
weather. 1t has been so dry this
summer that the nest has not been To-
Gated and taken down. Probably in
this case the hawks have had their
young and departed.
1t is not easy to take down one Of
these nests, as the material used Is
woven in and about the wires. 1t Is
especially hard when the nests are
occupied. Three or four years ago a
lineman was sent to take one down
and had to call for help from a near
by farmhouse, as the hawks attacked
him and tore his clothing badly be-
fore he could get the nest down.

Simple SPELLING Invite.

They were not popular couple.
Their families had never been fully
accepted by the social circle to which
they aspired, so when rumors of the
wedding appeared more than half the
people who expected to get an invi-
tation declared their intention of de-
clining. But nobody did decline After
the wedding everybody got busy tell
ing everybody else how they happened
to change their mind. All gave the
same reason.
1T was the style of the invitations
that took u.s." they said. "They were
printed in simple spelling. They were
the first invitations to anything we
ever had seen spelled that way, and
everybody went to see what bride
looked like who had courage enough
to request the presens' of anybody at
her marriage"

fee before gaining permission to
marry, does he?"
HE does not" said a clerk, "but
many of the couples seem to think So.
I don't know where they got the idea,
but they have it, and scores of the for
eigners bent on matrimony back up
their other qualifications with a bank
book or sometimes even roll of cash.

their eligibility as the men, and fire.
