Died in Her Faith.

Boston, Dec. 6-.Mary Baker Eddy
died consistent in her belief in the ad-
euuacy OF faith to triumph over death.
In the shadow of death she did not ask
for aid outside the prayers OF her pu-
pills.
The advance Of pneumonia stran-
gled her as she prayed. Not one OF the
usual stays against death which med
ical science interposes in desperate
moments was reQuisitioned. The mem-
bers Of her secluded household In
Newton stood about the bedside. their
hands folded in prayer. The pangs of
dissolution, which physicians say aro
terrible In pneumonia. had their course

whose face showed no mark Of agony

tho deathbed came today from DIR.
George L. West, medical examiner for
all tho cluster OF villages about New
ton. and tho officer of tho Massachu-
sets government who was called IN to
sirn the death certincate.
..1.fter q bri,, exaniinatio.l Of the
body asked Mr.. Dickey what Mrs
Eddy's symptoms OF illness had been.
Mr.. Dickey replied that Mrs. Eddy had
been Indisposed for eight or nine days
and that. altho she had been feeble.
she had been able to be up and around
the house as late as Friday; she had
even gone out In her carriage on Thurs
day Mrs. Eddy had suddenly failed

THAT was voluntary statement on
his part and not mere assent TO n ques-
ton OF mine

"when asked IL Mrs. Eddy had
coughed Mr.. D!ckey said that she had
suffered from some coughing. and he
gave me to understand that in the end
her bronchial tubes had become con-
gested and that the air passages had
so filed up that she could no Longer
breathe.
after asking n few more questions
I was satisfied that all the symptoms
indicated that Mr. Dickey's diagnosis
OF pneumonia was correct. and In filing
out the death certificate I used the
words probably pneumonia In hllins

No, I did not ask the usual question as

tions today, Rev. r. H. Bell. Of this city.
delivered q scathing denunciation Of
the present state parole board, declar-
irg that the members are incompetent
and do not understand the principles Of
the whole parole system; that they are
years behind the times in their atti-
tude, and that their chief purpose
seems to be to keep men In prison as
long as possible. instead of applying
the parole system. The sentiment was
approved generally by the conference.

POINTS
IN TAFT'S MESSAGE

; declares the crying need OF the United
States Is cheapcning the cost OF lifiga-
ton by sim mplifying judicial procedure
and expedlting final Judgment. Tho
supreme court should be relieved from
unnecessary appeals The salaries oe
federal judges should be increased.
Postal savings banks will he estab-
lished in number OF cities Jan. 1. A
parcels post on rural delivery routes Is
recommended Postmaster General
Hitchcock Is given high praise for put
ting the postoffice department on n
self-sustairins basis. The extension OF
the civil service to include all classes
| of postmastcrs and thus taking these
! officials entirely out OF politics Is
urged.
! The president reccomends that con-
gress gives some fitting recognition OF
| the polar discoveries of Commander
Robert r. Peary. The secretary OF the
navy suggests that Peary be made a
rear admiral and placed on the retired
| list.
! The stupendous value OF the agricul-
! tural products amounting to SS.926 .000,-
/ 900 this year. indicates Il good prospect
for business thruout the country.
| The present census promises to be
I the best ever taken, but Is not perfect.
The census padders are to be vigorous
| ly prosecuted.
| a bureau of health should be estab-
lished.
| The Southern Pacific railroad should
be reimbursed for Its expenditures in
fighting the flood in the Imperial VAL
ley Of California several years ago.
Fines for Steamship Companies.
Heavier fines should be imposed
against steamship companies for vio-
| lating the immigration laws The faci!i-
ties at Ellis Island. New York. should
not be so increased as to offer an in
ducement to the steamship companies
to concentrate their immigrant busi-
ness at one port. Immigrants are need
ed in the rural districts.
Some provision should be made for
retiring superannuated government
clerks.
The only amendments suggested in
the interstate commerce law are nm ap-
propriation to enable the interstate
commerce commission to ascertain the
valuation OF railroads. and fixing the
responsibilities OF public carriers in the
issuance OF bills Of lading.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1910-12-06

auxiliary vessels are urged for the
navy.
The president recommends that coal
phosphate and oil lands and water
power sites be disposed Of in the fu-
ture by leasing.
Eestimates for government expendi-
lures during the next fiscal year have
been cut to 63O.494,013.12. which is
S52,964, ,SS7.36 less than the actual ap-
preparations for the current year. The
estimated receipts for the next f1sca
year are s6sO.o0O.000.
The president urges the extension OF
the civil service principle to the diplo-
matte and consular corps and the ac-
uuisition by the government OF resi-
dences and offices for it's diplomatic Of
ficers.
Some criticisms of the Payne tarif
act are ,lst. says the president. but
more are unfounded.
There should be more officers for the
army. The engineer corps should bt
increased by sixty.
The fortlficatlons at Corregidor ISL
and, Manila Bay and at Pearl Harbor
Hawaii, should be carried to early com
pletion.
The Panama Canal.
Regarding the Panama canal the
president says:
"The progress OF the work is most
satisfactory. 1t will be completed vel
within the time set. Jan. 1. 1915. anc
within the estimated cost OF s375,000,-
600. The slides in Culebra Cut Offer
no great reason for delay"
Failure to fortify the canal would
leave the United States powerless to
enforce the universal and equal use OF
the waterway against a desperate and
irresponsible enemy. and would defeat
the object OF the canal in increasing
the military effectiveness of the Ameri-
can navy.
The tolls should not exceed 81 per
net ton. The president should be
authorized to adjust the rates as ne
cessity arises. The government
should include in It's management Of the
canal the furnishing not only to the
navy but to the public as well. dry
dock and repair facilities. and the sale
of coal, oil and other ship supplies.
Interstate railroads should be pre-
vented from owning or controlling
ships trading thru the canal

GIRL NOT TAFT's DAUGHTER.

Another "Miss Helen" Calls on Prssi-
dent at the White House.
Washington, Dec. 6.-President Taft
was somewhat startled yesterday when
1t was announced that Miss Helen
Taft was among the visitors wishing to
see him. She was at once admitted.
Instead Of his debutante daughter,
however. he met 15-year-old girl Of
that name, accompanied by w. S. Ken

Washington, Dec. 6.-The outstand-
Ing features Of President Taft's mes
sage. sent to congress today. are these:
He declares It is time to stop leg
islating with reference to regulation OF
corporations and to witness the effec'
Of q vigorous execution OF the laws
already on the statute books. The ex-
act limitation upon business meth
DDS imposed by law will doubtless be
made clearer by pending decisions OF
the supreme court.
Just at this time, the president says
he believes the activities Of the govern !
ment, in addition to enforcement OF the
laws, should be directed toward econ
omy Of administration, the enlarge
ment Of opportunities for foreign trade
the building up Of home industry and
the strengthening OF confidence OF cap
ital in domestic investment.
Mr.. Taft recommends strongly some
form of ship subsidy to increase Amer
lean shipping especially to South
America.
The tariff board is not ready to sub
NIT a report on any Of the schedules oi
the Payne law, and Mr.. Taft says III
will not recommend any tariff legisla-
tion until the new congress convenes
in December, 1911.
Opposes Tariff Revision.
He urges that the tariff board bt
made permanent, and that all future
reyisions be made schedule by sched-
ule. He vigorously opposes another
general revision.
The Panama canal should by al
means be fortified. An appropriation
Of s1s,00o,000 is recommended for this
purpose.
There must be no more pork bar
rel, methods in river and harbor and
public building bills. The latter should
be based upon the report Of commits
sion OF experts. In the past congress
has appropriated too much for build
ings not needed and not enough for
buildings badly needed.
Recommendation for anti-injunction
and federal Incorporation laws are re-
newed.
1t is proposed that second-class mail
rates shall be re-adjusted so as to
charge ma agazines much higher. rate
on their advertising sections.
Strong representations are made fol

ana currency system.
