THE SIZING Up Of
MR.. PO|NDEXTER

To those who have followed the
career OF CONGRESSMAN Miles Poin-
dexter since he was elected to a
seat in the lower house at Washing
ton, the announcement that eX-
President Roosevelt will aid him in
his fight for a scat in the United
States senate to succeed Senator
Piles, will occasion little surprise
That he has gained a grasp on nat
ional affairs seldom if ever attained
by new members OF that body in SO
short time, is the universal test
mony Of bis colleagues. That he
is one of the ablest and most ag-
gressive two listed fighting men in
the house Of representatives, Is
shown by his work in the fight for
better rules and the shearing Of
Speaker Cannon of his despotic
power. This is a task he marked
ont for himself when he took his
seat two years ago although at that
time the undertaking seemed a
hopeless one. To day, behold the
result
Nor have his efforts been Goblin
ed to the fight on the rules. On
the tariff he fought for a schedule
which would accord the poor man
and the consumer, protection from
the ravages of trusts and monopol-
les which have been built up large
ly because Of unreasonable high
rates on staples and the necessaries
of life, examples of which are the
wooden and sugar schedules. And
while the passage of the Payne
Aldrich bill was secured by the
interests, the work of the insur-
gents served to expose in it, one
of the most gigantic frauds of the
century. Upon this rock the re-
publican party has split Here the
Congressman POindexter allied
himself with the people and voted
with the minority for the perpetual
ton of equal opportunity of livi-
hood for every man.
His career during the session
just ended, was made significant
in the closing days by his fight Oh
the railroad bill which is generally
conceded to have been framed bv
the railroads for their own specific
benefit Its RIGHTEOUSNESS is every
where recognized and that it was
rewritten and shOrn of its wicked
features, is due no other influence

THE big fight between Johnson
and Jeffries at Reno, is a thing OF
the past and Johnson won without
an effort. Prize fighting is a dis
grace to our civilization and We
need laws that will forever prevent
another fight, big or little, taking
place in America. These fights
are brutal, degrading and disgrace
full and should be prohibited by
law.

Broadway. although not it, the night of last

On Monday in far off Khartoum,
Egypt a reunion of former President
Roosevelt and his Nimrod son took
place with Mrs. Roosevelt and their
daughter, Ethel. 1t is safe to say
that this was an occasion that for
pure Joy will sink into insignificance
the big public affair that is in prep
aration for the fitting greeting of
the man who comes out of the jungles
with laurels such as have been the
portion of few scientist hunters.
The renewing of home ties, the ex-
change of personal experiences and
information of the happenings that
interest those who sustain the home
relation to one another, was to
Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt the most
compensating experience in the en-
tire program that signalized the
reception of the country's dis
tinguished citizen. The home senti-
ment of Mr.. Roosevelt is one of the
strongest and finest things in his
nature and not the least of the bene-
fetal influences he exerted upon the
nation as president, related to his
nigh and idealistic position in regard
TO all that makes dear the bonds of
home interest and affection. As
long as America is productive of the
type of husband that Mr.. Roosevelt
represents and the kind of wife that
he cherishes it will not have grave
alarm over the conduct of the por-
tion of the married community that
creates the unsavory sensations.
The hearts of Americans are true
and the homes of Americans are
havens. Mr.. Roosevelt is only one
of the most conspi cuous instances o1
American manhood that has sus.
tanned beyond reproach the relation
that should be highest and happiest.
Therefore his fellow citizens WHIT
appreciate his sentiments will re.
joice with him in the Roosevelt re.
union.

In the death of Charles B. Archer,
Smyrna has lost a good citizen.
Identified with the town and COM
munity for more than half a century,
he lead an upright life and was use
full to his church and to his party.
None who knew him could question
his Americanism or Republicanism.
He was loyal to the flag, loyal to his
party, loyal to his church and loyal
to his home. He will be greatly
missed in all of these relations and
his "works will live after him.

The Cecil Democrat of Elkton
comedies with the views of many of
our farmers when it says: eff the
Government in distributing free seed
among the farmers would send free
samples of wheat, corn, oats,
clover, timothy and other grass seed,
COW peas, &c., seeds that all
farmers want and use, intead of
little papers of garden stuff, such as
peas, radishes, carrots, &C., the
farmers would appreciate the service
of the Government to a far greater
degree, AMI agriculture would be
greatly advanced. To most farmers
a garden or truck patch is only an
incident to the farm-an important
one it is true-but the best of seeds
for it can be obtained for few cents
at any store in the neighborhond.
What the farmer wants is to i'm
prove the crops upon which he de-
pends to make his living, and if the
Government really wants to help him
it will devote the money it spends in
sample seeds to the distribution of
reasonable sized samples of staple
crop seeds

dragging for the body. The body
was about 40 yards from the place
where deceased was seen to founder

finding of the body word was sent to
Deputy Cornor Chandler and he took
charge of the body and removed it
