win Smith was professor Of modern his
t,ry at Oxford. His lectures there on
Cromwell had already excited contro-
versy and called public attention to him.
He was forty years old and in full vigol
OF his powers when the American ques-
ton enlisted him. The articles he wrote
were models of strong. convincing argu-
ment. He supplemented them by speech
eS, by letters to the newspapers and in
other maya zines. They set England think
ing. and having softened prejudices they
became largely instrumental in removing
them.
Prof Smiths advocacy of the annexa-
ton of Canada to the United States
began forty years ago. Identity of in
terests led him first to urge that the two
countries be commercially Joined by reci-
procity treaties. 1t was an easy step
from that to political amalgamation,
which found in him a persistent advocate
for fully quarter of century. While
he never predicted that union would
come in his lifetime, he felt that it was
inevitable and foresaw il as clearly in
his age as in his prime.
Professor at Cornell
Prof. Smith come to this country in
1865 as professor of English and con-
stitutional history at Cornell In 1871
he moved to Toronto, which was there
after his residence. He edited there the
Canadian Monthly and started the By
stander and the Week This did not in
terfere with his work as an author
Princeton gave him the degree of LII. D.
in 1885,
He was always busy and wrote a large
number of books. His United States. an
Outline of Political History became at
once standard authority. The Moral
Crusader William Lloyd Garrison" was
an exhaustive review OF the abolition
cause. Irish History and Irish Char
acter' was one of his widely read works.
'The Civil War in America" appeared at
the time of his activities in England in
advocacy Of the American Union.
Prof. Smith was born in Reading. Eng
land, August %, 1923. and was gradu-
ated from University College. Oxford. in
1915 He became a fellow OF the college
in 1S47, in which year he was admitted
to the bar in Lincoln's Inn. In 1850 he
served on the royal commission on the
state of Oxford University, and he be-
came regius professor OF modern history
there in 1858. While holding this chair
the late King Edward. then Prince of
Wales was in residence at the university,
and Prof. Smith became his tutor in his
tory and literature. The royal pupil
greatly admired him and ever after took
a kindly interest in him. In 1875 he mar
ried Mrs Harriet Dixon Boulton. daugh-
ter of Thomas Dixon OF Boston. She
died last year.

Lying Beneath Oak Tree.

When Minnie heard the report of the
pistol she ran to the store of Mrs. A. NJ.
Canada and told of what had happened
Several persons living in the vicinity hur-
lied to the woods and found the girl lying
beneath a big oak tree. She quietly asked
that she be let alone. She had fired the
shot for the purpose of killing herself
and she wanted TO die, she said.
No attention was paid to her request,
however. and she was soon on her way
to the hospital In an automobile. Mrs.
BardroH and two aunts Of the patient
visited the hospital yesterday afternoon
and saw her. When her clothes were re-
moved at the hospital 1t was found that
the bullet had pierced a photograph she
had of the young man referred TO and
the note addressed to her mother was
found pinned TO one of her undergar-
mentS.

The governor, at Larned last Fri
day, replied direct to the attacks
made on the inheritance tax as an
administration law. 1t was not an
administration measure, but the gov
ernor believes that in principle it is a
good law, as it seeks to distribute
equally the burden of taxation by
making the wealthy bear their share.
The governor declared that their
were inequalities in the new law, just
as there are in every new tax law.
He believed that the new law should
be amended to exempt widows from
its provisions, and that the limit of
estate effected should be placed at
10000, instead of $1,000. In Pawnee,
where there has been a lot of dis
satisfaction about the law, the gov
ernor's discussion of the matter was
heartily endorsed.

D6II6vB That aII Ehe time Tine 4emo-
Gratis were Il gilting for lower duties
A study of the Congressional Record
shows that the Democrats are to
blame for the higher duties on lum-
Der, iron ore and coal, all three of
which had been put on the free list
by Mr. Payne, the man who framed
the bill When the bill came before
the house these items were on the
free list. Every progressive Republi-
can in the house voted to leave them
on the free list, but thirty-nine Demo-
Gratis voted with the standpat Repub-
licans for duty and carried the prop
osition by vote of 200 to 1s1. In the
senate an attempt was made by the
progressive Republicans to reduce the
tariff on lumber, but with The aid of
IL Democrats the duty was retained,
the vote being A to 20. Lumber and
coal are two commodities which the
farmers and the people generally of
the Sixth congressional district con-
sumo, and it is to their interest to
have them as cheap as possible, for
we produce neither. If /. ID. Yonng
is elected to congress he will favor a
reduction of these duties, and if pos
sible the placing of both items on the
free list.

A review of the speech, Mr. Hodges,
candidate for governor on the Dem
ocratic ticket has been making. reveals
some extraordinary errors-errors that
should be noticed by all good citizens
and corrected with positive emphasis
in the interest of truth. At first they
were regarded as plain mistakes which
any man might make but since Mr.
Hodges continues to repeat them they
cannot now be considered in any other
light than misrepresentation as the
Republican effort to set him right in
regard to them.
For instance he continues to repeat
that the state allows the sum of 81, 900
per year for the grocery bill of the
governor when everybody knows it is
not true. The governor of Kansas
does not get a single penny of al
lowance for the expenses of his table.
Mr. Hodges, being senator, should
at least know the law. He holds
VIM. J. Bryan up to the people as the
best example of true Democracy ant
and yet his own managers are court
ing the favor and fithe nancial sup
port of the breweries when they know
that Mr.. Bryan has bolted the Demo
cratic candidate for governor of Ne
braska on accout of his alliance with
these same breweries. He knows
that Stubs and not himself is stand
ing squarely with Mr.. Bryan in the
important matter of temperance re-
form and civic decency in all state af-
fairs

If the people had the power to make
it rain whenever they wanted to by
voting on it, there would be as much
scrapping as there is over politics.
One man would have out nice field
of corn and his neighbor would be
in the midst of his harvest. One
would want rain and the other sum
shine Then there would be scrap
and all the rest of the neighbors
take sides. The man with the corn
would insist that he was right and
the man with the wheat would point
out how if it did rain it would ruin
the country. The man who was run
ming a hamburger sandwich stand at
the street fair would become the
mortal enemy of the man who had a
garden. The politicians would tell
how they ''stood for rainy weather"
and the country MUST be saved.
That's about all there is to politics.
1t all depends on whose OK is gored "a
mong the big fellows, while the rank
and file stand aside and watch the
scrap and vote one way because their
neighbor votes the other. But it is a
lot of fun so long as the machine
doesn't bump into our own fence

Financial Review" a New York
paper, which is recognized as the Of
fetal organ of the Wall street bank
erS and brokers, contained a long ar
ticle last Saturday urging the cleo
ton of Democratic congress this
fall. With aRepublican president and
senate the Wall Street bankers and
brokers figure that there will be
deadlock for at least three years, and
put an end to all danger of ''progresr-
iven legislation. The Review says:
ITO Wall Street the election of a
Democratic congress means that there
will be no important legislation for
the next three years, thus ending the
uncertainty of bueiness conditions
for long period" Are the voters of
the Sixth Kansas district going to ac-
cept this dictation from Wall Street
and vote for a Democratic member of
congress merely in order that the
brokers of Wall Street may have "a
long period of rest?'' The same paper
announces its bitter opposition to
Theodore Roosevelt and the Republi-
can ticket nominated at Saratoga last
week.

The Stubbs campaign trip through
the counties of Comanche, Clark,
Meade, Kiowa, Rice, Pawnee and Ed
wards last week was the most sue
cessful of his political career. People
were turned away from every meet
ing because of lack of room in the
halls and opera houses. The gov
the four days of the trip and the
people stood up along the walls and
in the corridors at every meeting.
In all these counties it appeared as
though public sentiment was almost
unanimous for Stubs. Democrats
came by the score, on the train and
at the hotels to proffer their support.
Substantial farmers and big business
men who had been Democrats all
their lives and had opposed the gov
ernor two years ago, came to him and
told him he had made good and they
wanted his politics to continue.
On the streets after the meeting
could be heard expression of approval
and admiration on every hand. The
people have made up their mind al
ready. There is no hesitancy when
questioned regarding the election.
The desertion from the party ranks
in the counties visited last week are
confined to the man lost prestige and
patronage as result of the primary
law.

NoRIHERN PRESBYTER!ASS
Hi,ort 10 Dust DIR. Roberts Fails
resoiution Offered Against the
Jehries-JOhnson Fight.
BY the Associated pra.

lby the Associated Press.)
ahantlc City. y. j.. May 21.-The
- nllt o. the movement to Dust
The Rev. DR.. VIM. H. Roberts. of
philadelphia from one Of his ofices
stated clerk and treasurer of the
presbyterian General Assembly came
IN the report of the bills and over
lures committee which opened the
ailerhoon session of the Assembly.
1t was stated in this report that
132 Presbyterians had voted for a
REIMBURSEMENT, while 1876 had voted
against any attempt to force DR.. Rob-
erts to resign either Of his positions.
IWenty-seVen Presbyteries had not
voted, the report said. The vote is
taken TO mean that it depends on DR..
Roberts himself as to whether he re-
signs the office of treasurer. His
opponents claim hat the holding Of
the two offices gave DR.. Roberts too
much power in the Assembly and in
church affairs. The various resolu-
lions embodied in the report of the
committee on Sabbath observance
We're heartily cheered, especially those
urging the Saturday half holiday for
w~orkingmen.
Before passing with a unanimous
vote a motion to accept the report
and adopt the resolutions suggested
therein. the Rev. A. Albert Moore,
secretary of the Lords Day Alliance
of Canada made an address praising
n stringent recommendations of the
report and declaring that the Sabbath
is better observed in the United States
than in any other country, even Can
ada.
The Rev. George w. Grannis, Gen
eral Secretary of the Lords Day Ali
ance of the United States, explained
that there was just as great need Of
an earnest effort in the United States
as in Canada, despite the compliments
Of DR.. Moore, and asked for the CO
operation Of the member of the As
sembiy in the efforts to keep the Sab
bath Holy.
A resolution calling on Governor
James M. Gillette, Of California, to
prevent the holding of the Jeffries-
Johnson fight on Independence day
was introduced late today. The reso-
luton was presented by the Rev. F
L. Forbes. of Seattle. Washington
and was referred to the committee or
bills and o~vertures, the main business
body of the Assembly.
