THE DEATH OF A KING

''Le Ro est mort. Vive lie roll. The king is dead
Long live the king.
Those two have been repeated through long
centuries by the people of France and England The Gus
tom has ceased in Republican France but old England,
still hedged about by euda usages, still thinks and acts
more or less the it did in the times of Mark
Twain Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. y

seemed to have satisfied the English people. He lived

ing party leaders by unostentatous manipulation
King Edward will sleep with his long line OF crowned
and sceptered ancestors in historic Westminster There
are only two three of those ancestors who really live in
the minds of the people.
Here's luck to King George He's fair stout and 49,
He hasn't got any too easy to hoe. He's not any
too brilliant for the job He's king now but he's not
above sympathy.
The house of commons is the actual ruler of England
and England's mighty empire. Kings may come and
kings may 90, but they and the little old isle
slowly is extrcatng itself from the sodden mire OF
eudaism and mans vested rights slowly supercedng

DO WOMEN WANT TO VOTE?
SHOULD THE WOMEN WANT TO VOTE?
(AFFIRMATIVE)
BY Mrs. Sofia Loebinger,
Leader Of the Fighting Suffragets.

Women must vote because
modern life, more complex than at
any time of human existence, de-
mands it. Men, too busy with
money making schemes, find no
time for higher public activities,
and therefore the commonwealth
suffers.
Women must step into the
breach to assist men. Public well
fare without woman's participa-
ton is impossible.
Educated women have as much
conception of public affairs as men;
they are better adapted because
they are more altruistic; they have
a finer sense Of honor, RESPONSE
bility and intuition.
Affairs of our country are
such that womans assistance is
pressingly needed, for men have
thus far made a failure of democ-
racy, which should be an ideal
form Of povorpp,opt

Prince Albert, Sask., Sept. 23.-Geo
Atwood, chief engineer of the Hud
son Bay & Pacific Railway today
received a cablegram from England
telling him to rush the construction
on the line fro mhere to Hudson Bay
as all the money which can possibly
be required is available. The sur.

the actual construction will be started
at once.
The cable also stated that the CON-
pany will build southwesterly to con-
meet with the Great Northern at Pa

in all probability the entire line will
be in operation within two years as
he intends to rush the work to com.

On account of the large number OF

has decided to repeat the amateur
performance at bottle the evening and
afternoon shows today.
To say that the show went big last
night is putting it mildly. There were
packed houses at both shows and at
that all the people seeking admission
could not be taken care of.

of the finest vaudeville acts ever
brought to the city and is making a

There will be only three more

Atlantic City, N. j., Sept. 23.-Aftel
debate of more than three hours the
national encampment of the G. A. R
at it's final session on the steel piel
this afternoon, indefinitely postponed
action on the controversy over a stat
ue of Robert E. Lee in statuary hal
at Washington.
The vote was IA to 1O2, small
total compared with the vote of 82i
| cast for commander in chief yester
| day.
The encampment rejected a propo
sition recommending that congress be
asked to grant each union veteran Of
the Civil war pension of 81 day
for life, but endorsed the McCumbel
bill now in congress- relating to g
provision for widows.
The question of the Grand Army s
attitude on the Lee statue matter was
one of the most important the en-.
campment had to deal with in years
The conservative element controlled
the encampment and won the day on
the argument that the bitterness en-
gendered in the Civil war was disap-
pearing and that sectional hatred
should not be revived; that action ad-
verse to the Lee statue would do
more harm than good, especially to
the G. A. r., and last but not least,
that the state of Virginia, under an
act of congress in 1864, had a right
to place in statuary hall the image
of any man from that state whose
memory it chose to perpetrate.
When the afternoon session conven-
ed and it was seen that less than $50
representatives were present out of
ovr 800 in abundance yesterday, w. A.
Ketchum of Indiana endeavored to
have the whole matter 60 over until
next year on the ground that a vote
taken today would not express the
sentiments of the entire membership
of the G. A. r. Among those who
spoke for the majority report were

II married against my mothers

being punished by having my favorite
daughter do the same thing" said
Mrs. McNickle.
Mr.. Jones is a good man, but he
is not our kind. He is too swell. He
looks as if he never ate anywhere but
in a big hotel, and was born in full
dress suit He doesn't fit in and our
family is broken up. 1t will be the
same again.
when Mabel wrote she was going
to marry we knew it was Jones and
we never answered the letter. Today
we got telegram signed Mrs. Ira. B.
Jones and saying our Mabel was mar
ried. We talked it over, her father
and I, and while we had planned to
spend the winter there she has made
her choice and we will stay at home.
Mabel didn't want to marry. She was
always too busy, but Jones went out
there two weeks ago and told her he
had waited as long as he intended to.
that it was now or never, so she just
took him."
Mrs. McNickle said her daughter
had registered in the land drawing in
a spirit of fun, never dreaming she
would win. When she was notified
that she had won second position she
gave up a position as stenographer
in Chicago and prepared to settle on
her property. Allen Newton of Hell

Nickle, "Mabeps proposals became so
after she drew that land
that the mail became a joke, and
there was constant string of auto
in front of the house. Rich
and poor, old and young, all wanted
to marry Mabel and go west to get
that land. At first Mabel kept all the
that were in writing, but
they came so fast she just glanced at
them and burned them up.

ry, but should be our mainstay in our
old age. suppose that was selfish,
but mother love is apt to be selfish
and Mabel was my dearest posses
sion. The others came and went, but

The rear end of the smoker re-
manned tilted on the bank and the
chair car ripped its way into the
smoker, smashing it to pieces. The
chair car itself was considerably dam
aged and several passengers riding
in it were hurt.
To the GOODNESS and quick wit of
the engineer, Pickinbaugh, who lost
his life, is attributed to the saving
of the lives of those who escaped,
numbering hundreds or more.
Examination of the engine and tir-
brakes shows that he had reversed the
lever and set the air in an effort to
check the train. None of the injur'
ed is in serious condition. The wash
out was repaired late this evening and
traffic resumed.
