The People in Politics.

Convincing evidence Of the strength and
formidabnity OF the insurgent movement
in politics is at hand.
Progressive Sepublicanism prevails.
Vermont. New Hampshire. Wisconsin,
and Michigan furnish the evidence anew.
The revolt against old party leadership is
not confined to spots-not local, but gen.
eral-and the elections in November viii
undoubtedly produce political upheaval
such as the country has not known in
years.
II is a day Of independent thinking. OF
machine smashing. and OF intolerance Of
the established order Of things political
With independent thinking has come free

partisan tradition and conduct The unrest

TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
Death of Amy obsart-September s.

beth go far TO account for Lady Amy's
desperation"
One version Of her death was that An
thony Forester. who was personal
friend Of Dudleys had thrown her down
stairs. And still another tale says that
Amy was poisoned and her body laid at
the foot OF the stairs to give the idea Of
a fan. Owing TO the twisted arrangement
of the stairs il would have been imposSi-
bic for Lady Dudley to have fallen down;
and as TO some one throwing her down.
it hardly seems possible that she would
have sent her servants away in order 70
give some enemy a chance to kill her.
And to this day the nature OF Amy Rob
sart's death is shrouded in uncertainty.
On Friday, September % Lady Dudley s
body was removed 70 Gloucester Hall.
Oxford. and on Sunday September y.
was buried with the most elaborate her
aldic ceremony in St NIary's Church.
Dudley was absent. and Or. Francis Bah
bington. who preached the sermon, is said
10 have tripped once and described the
lady as "pitfully slain"
Several modern historians believe that
tragedy. II he were. he profted little by
1t. for tickle Elizabeth did not marry him.
He married twice after Amys death he
also rose to great heights at court, be-
coming Earl Of Leicester and receiving as
a gift from Elizabeth the castle of Kenn-
worth.
Sir Walter SCOTS famous novel "Kenil-
worth" tells the love story OF amy Rob-
sart and Of her alleged meeting with
Elizabeth at Kenilworth Castle after Dud-
ley had been made Earl Of Leicester AS
a matter OF fact. Amy died fifteen years
before Elizabeth visited Kenilworth. three
years before Dudley acquired the castle.
and four years before he became an earl.

The Washington herald., 1910-09-08

Amy Robsart is one of the most inter
esting Of the court characters Of the lat
ter part Of the sixteenth century. and
her sudden death has always remained
one Of the historical mysteries. Amy VAS
married to the youngest son Of the crafty
Earl of Warwick. Robert Dudley. on
June Il, 1850. when she was only nineteen
years old and young Dudley one year
her Junior. Amy was the daughter of Sir
John Robsart. lord of the manor Of ST.
derstern, Norfolk, and on her part II was
purely a love match. but on the part Of
her husband II was. in a measure, a
scheme Of his fathers to secure his son
a wealthy wife.
The early part Of their married life seems
70 have been unusually happy. Later.
however. the young earl became favor
lite OF Elizabeth. and when she became
Queen his ambitions rose by leaps and
bounds Elizabeth showered wealth and
honor on him. and it was even the gossip
at court that she would marry him and
make him prince c0nsort
II Elizabeth so designed. she had one
thing to reckon with. and that was that
Amy was still living. Dudley. ambitious
that the Queens designs should be car
ried out. began more and more TO neg
lect his wife. He sent her to 1--we In
ramshacIle old building about four miles
from oxford. while he spent most Of his
time in the suiuptuous quarters OF the
Queen. In this secluded country house
Amy dragged out q lonely, miserable life.
Her letters show how happy she was
when Dudley paid one Of his rare visits
to her. and how their brevity and infre-
quency distressed her.
On Sunday. September 8, 1860, Amy is
said to have directed the whole household
TO visit Abingdon fair. They all went,
with the exception Of Mrs Owen. and the
servants, returning late in the day from
Abingdon, found Lady Dudley lying dead
at the foot of the stairway in the hall. It
was reported that she had fallen down
stairs and broken her neck
Dudley heard the news while with the
Queen at Windsor. and directed a distant
relative, Sir Thomas Blount. to encourage
the most stringent public inquiry. An
manner Of rumors were soon afoat Mrs.
Pinto. Lady Any's maid, said that she
has. heard her mistress pray to God to
deliver her from desperation" and al

Fortifying the Canal.


We suppose there is no doubt now
that the elaborate and costly plans for
terrifying the Panama Canal viii be car
ried out. and yet there will be many con-
servative Americans who will wish that
it were otherwise. Particularly. It Is to
be deplored. we think. that Col. Roose-
welt, Nobel prize winner for his services
TO the cause of peace, should be found
so outspoken and authoritative. not TO say
dogmatic. on the side Of fertilization.
None Of US can blind ourselves to what
a fortified Panama Canal means in the
way Of expense. 1t will add enormously
to the military burden Of this country:
II will furnish the jingoes with innumer-
able excuses for a larger navy. and a
greater number OF Dreadnoughts. It is
TO ignore the history Of our country to
imagine that the iingoes will not take
advantage OF the opportunity thus offered.
1t is true that first and last we shall have
invested many lives and about half a
billion dollars in constructing this canal;
terprise, and once opened to the com
merce Of the world. it will be our task TO
keep it open and to allow commerce 10
flow unobstructed. And yet. We cannot
help thinking-and this is not Utopia.
either-that we might find a better
way and set better example to the
world than by fertilization.
BY the Clayton-Bulwer treaty the United
states and England jointly guaranteed
the neutrality Of the Panama Canal. That
such a guarantee would not be broken
nor challenged lightly. by any na-
ton in the world. is obvious. The Hay
Pauncefote treaty Of 1901 abrogated the
old agreement and gave to the United
States the sole right TO construct and
maintain the Panama Canal
To fortify the canal is going to cost
millions-millons as a first investment in
material and guns; millions more in keep
ing the forts efficient year by year. and
IN maintaining additional battle ships to
support the forts. One cannot help think
AAb NiitAN AA4t same results could be
gained by treaty After all. what we
want is protection for the canal in
operation Here is a case where d.
piomacy surely may serve, and by secur-
Ing the acquiescence OF the principal
powers to a neutrality treaty, all the
expense and trouble Of fertilization
may be avoided Great Britain's suez
Canal, left unfortIhed and guarded only
by neutrality treaties. has been safe since
its construction and always open TO the
traffic Of the nations. in spite OF several
wars. in some Of which the passage OF
the suez was an important factor.
However. We are in for it now. More
guns. more ships. more ammunition. more
expenditure; and in case Of a serious war
with a powerful nation. we shall not be
able 70 feel as if the canal-in spite OF our
fortihcations-is half so safe as if it were
protected by neutrality treaties which the
civilized world is bound in honor TO
respect.
