and avoid the vital point by admitting
that perhaps he was 'disingenuous, he
exposes such an utter Inconsistencies
of the requirements of uprightness and
veracity that the sentiment aroused par
takes rath, more of pity than disgust.
The confession of 'disengenuousness
is a confession of the whole case. 1t is
contended, singularly enough. by some
very eXacting newspapers, that Senator
Tillman's course of seeking to acquire
part of the lands which he had been ac-
tive in getting released from a corpor-
ate clutch, was not distinctly discredita-
BILE. We may agree that it was not a
distinct violation of law. But TiIlman's
first declaration, which he now con-
fesses to be 'disingenuous, is a COM
plete answer to that contention in his
behalf. When he voluntarily rose in
the Senate and produced a ciruclar set
ting forth that he wa interested in the
lands in question there is no doubt that
lllo udSC was HllCINlSu " dcSuIC
the Senate and Nation that the asser-
ton of the circular was entirely false.
Now when letters written four days
before that speech show the contrary,
he confesses, because he has to, that
the denial was 'disingenuous' can there
be any doubt of his own opinion that
the matter was so little to his credit
that he would resort to the 'disingenu-
business in the hope of covering it up?
1--WE are certainly sorry for this out
come. Mr.. Roosevelt has had so many
controversies that the showing of hav
ing accused one man more or less, on
insufficient foundation, would not have
made much difference. But the result
is fatal for Tillman as a national ex-
ponent of rectitude. By his own show
ing, through the transaC ton was by no
means as fragrant as some other. it was
one which he himself perceived to be so
doubtful that he first tried to get out of
it by a denial which, when he can no
longer help himself, he confesses to
have been designed to produce false
impression.

THURSDAY. JANUARY Il, LOG.
THE SIMPLE LIFE.

Two members, at least, of the cab
met of President elect Taft have been
finally decided upon-PhIlander Knox,
senator from Pennsylvania, as the head
of the cabinet, ard Mr. Hitchcock for
postmaster gensral Mr.. Knox is a
wealthy man and owns a fine house in
Washington. He can sustain the in
evitable expense of entertainment eX-
pected of the minister Of foreign affairs,
for this is the relation which the port
folio of the secretary OF state involves.
1t is said that Representative Burton S
reason for declining a cabinet position
was because of the expensive social
necessities. attached to it. The salaries
of cabinet officers have been recently
raised to, $12, 600 a year and this to
many would seem ample to support a
person of American tastes in Washing
ton, where living is not necessarily
high. But it is well known that wealth
is a necessary accessory to high official
position. A regime of millionaire SEN
ators has set the pace and the Roose-
veltian era has been one of brilliant
hospitality.
1t is given out that President-elect
Taft is expected to introduce a simple
life in his administration at home and
abroad. He disapproves, for example,
the lavish entertainment of the Ameri-
can ambassador to Great Britain. No
successor to Mr.. Reid that he can APP
point will be able to keep the pace set
by the ambassador; and it has been
saidasthat other governments are dis
pleased, because none of them have
been able even to approach Mr.. Reid in
the prodigality ands brilliancy of his
entertainments. Mr.. Reid, as is well
known, is something more than mere
money spender. He has been a candi-
date for:vice president of the United
States; he was for four years American
minister to. frances he has been a
writer and an editor for forty years,
and has made a special study of foreign
affairs. a Where would it be possible to
find another man with such equipment
and accomplishments in the multimil
hOnaire class?

THE CRY OF THE CHILDREN.

Bishop David H. Greer, of New York,
president of an association for the care
of neglected children, has written an in
teresting letter to the New York Sun
describing Hope Farm, which has been
procured by his society as a refuge for
these schildren. The Children's Court
in New York, the Bishop writes, is
crowded every day with children who
are brought there for various reasons
and forsswhom a home must be found.
The greater number of these children
are brought into court to be placed in
somesrefuge because of immoral home
surroundings, drunken parents. filth
and neglect in the habitations of these
unfortunates. Some are suffering from
want and neglect because of illness of
the mother or the drunkenness of the
father. 1t is pathetic cry of the
children for rescue. Two years ago
Bishop Greer's society procured a
beautiful farm of 500 acres in Duchess
county, New York. On this farm
about 1875 children are now cared for
and provision being made for more.
The children are carefully trained by
competent teachers in a good school
education, in farming, carpentering,
housework and sewing. The children
on the farm are leading free, happy
and healthful home life, in marked con-
trast with the misery and squalor from
which they have been rescued. They
here have the chance to grow up as
honest, useful, self-supporting citizens
If they had been left in the misery of
the slums from which the Juvenile
Court took them, the chances are that
if they had survived, they would have
growns up as paupers or criminals, in
one case a charge upon society, in the
other case preying upon society. Would
not the State Government be justified,
in view of the character and public
benefit of the rescue work, in making
liberal contribution to the support of
Hope Farm and the enlargement of its
accommodations? The cry of the child
rem is an appealing and pathetic cry,
reaching the hearts of all human peo-
pie. 1t is heard in its appealing tones
in all the cities.

SENATOR TILLMAN.

Just how far Senator Tillman has sue
ceeded in indicating himself in the
opinion of his fellow senators and mem
bers of the House is questionable. In
the country at large his defense fell far
short of removing the stain upon his
heretofore reputed honesty. 1t was
hoped that when the Senator made his
reply to the charges of the President he
would be able to show that he had been
misunderstood. Falling short of even
this, he has weakened his cause by a
line of argument that bristled with vim
dictiveness towards the President,
whose duty it is to expose questionable
transactions by public servants, no mat
ter who or what they are. For when
a man supposes," says the Pittsburg
Dispatch, "that he can meet a charge
of this sort by vituperation and railing,

Death of Mrs. McClelland.

Rev. j. A. McClelland, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church, this city, received
a telegram Saturday evening announc-
ing the death of his mother, Mrs. Nc
Clelland, which occurred at her home in
Philadelphia Saturday evening. Mrs.
McClelland had been in failing health
for some time and several weeks ago
underwent a surgical operation which
was successful, and she seemed to be
recovering nicely, when she suffered a
relapse and passed away as stated
above. The immediate cause of her
death was heart failure. The deceased
was aged about 65 years, and is sur
vived by several children, her husband
having preceded her to the grave sew
eral years ago. Mrs. McClelland was
an estimable christian lady and was
held in the highest esteem by all who
knew her. The sympathy of the entire
city will go out to Rev. McClelland in
his bereavement. The funeral will
occur from the family residence in
Philadelphia tomorrow Tuesday, after
noon, and interment will be made in a
cemetery in that city. Rev. and Mrs.
McClelland left last night on train No.
for Philadelphia, to be present at the
funeral. Grafton Republican.

Seeking Work in West Virginia.

An Elk Garden cor espondent writes
the Keyser Echo:
Quite number of miners from the
Georges Greek region have obtained
work in the mines at Blaine, Elk Gar
den, Kittanning, Wabash and other
Mines Over a hundred have secured
work in this mining region in the last
few months. The mines in places along

REDUCTION MADE IN FREE SEEDS
Senator Sorghum and CONGRESSMAN
COrntaSSel Up in Arms.

Senator Sorghum and Congressman
Corntassel, and other Solons from the
bucolic districts, are up in arms because
of the reduction that has been made in
the amount of free seeds to be distri-
buted among their constituents this
year. Free seeds are among the most
valuable arguments used by Congress-
men for impressing the desirability of
their reelection upon rural voters, and
the loss Of even a portion of this per-
quisite is viewed with alarm.
Owing to the high price of seeds, re-
sulting from crop shortage, each
congressman will have only 10000
packages of vegetable seeds to distri-
butte among his constituents. In recent
years the quota of each member has
been II, 500 packages. The quota of
flower seeds, 500 packages, remains the
same.
An effort will undoubtedly be made
to have the appropriation increased, so
as to make up the deficiency. This will
be opposed by Representative Weeks
and other conservative members. Mr..
Weeks invariably votes against free
seeds. He says he would not object if
he had no seeds to distribute, and he
believes that the government might as
well give pianos to the constituents of
congressman as garden seeds.
