The Hero of Santiago Bay.

RearAdmiral Winfield Scott Schlcy
(retired) has been the central figure of
interest at the three days reunion at the
Masonic Temple, Baltimore. About | so
degrees were conferred in the comforting
of the thirty-second degree upon mum
Der Of prominent members.
Admiral Schley spent much of his
time in the Office Of Gen. Thomas J.
Shryock, grand master of the Grand
Lodge, and despite his advancing years
seemed hale and hearty Many were
on hand to meet him, and he had a
kindly word for everyone.
He said he is living a quiet life in
Washington, and, although retired from
active service, takes great interest in
the affairs Of the navy.
Everything in Washington is in a
splendid condition" he said, ''and am
pleased"
= As the exercises did not end until late
at the temple, the Rear Admiral re-
manned at the Hotel Rennert over night.

Colleges Close for the Holidays

Following the outbreak of typhoid
fever at the Naval Academy, nearly all
the students at this institution were
made sick by mixture of salt and sugar,
supposed to have been given by a dis
gruntled negro kitchen employee.
Then an epidemic of pink eye and
five cases of typhoid closed the Virginia
Military Institute, at Lexington.
A few days later fever appeared at
Washington and Lee and President
Denny followed the example of the
neighboring school by ordering the
Christmas holiday begun at once.
Scarlet fever has appeared at the
Episcopal High School, Alexandria,
which has been closed.
With five light cases of scarlet fever,
Western Maryland College has Joined
the list of other educational institutions
compelled to give holiday because of
disease.
The unfortunates are in the boys de
partment, quarantlned. Their cases are
mild, and no girls are affected
Most Of the sickness VAS discovered
Wednesday night. Dr. I. II. Lewis,
president of the college. was called and
had conference with DR.. Charles r.
Foutz, the county health officer. They
were up nearly all night, and early next
day told the students that the Christmas
holidays would begin at once. The boys
had been complaining. but the rash did
not appear until few hours before the
vacation was in force.
Most of the students are at home.
They are chiefly from Maryland, and as
the school is co-educational. a large
number of families in this State are put
in the anxious class.
Dr. Lewis made this statement:
1.-THE cases are mild, and it was
thought best for all concerned to send
the students home. No girls have the
disease, and it is thought there will be
no further cases. The college will be
opened again January A."

is about normal, but -four is higher than
it ought to be because there is a flour
trust that increases the price of bread.
1t costs from third TO one half more
to build a frame house than it did fifteen
years ago, because there is tariff duty
ON lumber.
Meat is high because of the privileged
class, which has a tariff on meat. Eggs
are high because there is a cold storage
trust. Cotton and wooden clothing are
high because the privileged classes
which control the cotton and wooden
goods must have an exorbitrnt
tariff on their goods 50 as to have a mo,
nopoly of the business and then rob the
people as much as they desire. The
eyes Of the people seem at last to have
been opened to the iniquities from which
they are suffering.
The result Of the last election seems
to indicate that their eyes are open.
But will they keep them open? If so,
they will destroy the system, and es-
t'blish an honest, equal and just govern
ment such as honest men should
and could have. They want the
prices Of all of the necessities of life
reduced. Now let them demand of
Congress to reduce them now at this
session of Congress.
( 1t can be done, and easily done, if
they urge it strong enough. Take the
tariff off Of beet, close up the cold
storage trust, reduce the robber tariff
on cotton and wooden clothing, take the
tariff off of lumber and put it on the
free list, and put all raw material on the
free list, and if they do this the people
will be relieved of the high prices:
1t ought to be, for there are thousands
Of poor people, men, women and chill
dren, who can not pay the prices for
the necessaries of life, and must there
fore suffer by reason Of it, The respon-
sibility rests on the people.

The Electoral Vote and New
Apportionments.

The number of electors for President
and Vice-President of the United States
to which each State is entitled is equal
to the total number of Senators and
Representatives in Congress from the
States. A considerable change in the
representation of a number of States in
the Lower House of Congress may be,
and probably will be, caused by the
reapportioument under the new census.
In Washington it is not considered likely
that there will be any large loss of
Congressman in any of the States
because of the new apportionment. The
present number Of Representatives is
391, and House much larger than
that would be unwieldly and almost too
large for The orderly transaction of bus
mess. In order to keep the number
down to 400 the apportionment would
be one Representative to about $50, 600
people, and that ratio would cause loss
to many of the States Therefore it
may be assumed that the. size of the
House will be somewhat increased. and
this will cause an equal increase in the
electoral vote, and this incresae NAV
seriously affect the political equilibrium.
Before the last apportionment New
Y ork, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana were considered necessary to
Democratic success The vote of these
States, added to the solid South includ-
ing Maryland and West Virginia, con
stituted a majority. 1t will be an inter
esting study after the new apportion-
i ment is made how this situation will be
affected. Any rotio that would cause
the loss ofrepresentation to large mum
! Der of States. and would probably be
defeated by the combination that would
result. 1t has been considered likely
that the ratio will be somewhere near
212, 600. because that ratio, or a little
less, no State would lose member, and
the House would be increased to 49,,
including those from New Mexico and
Arizona, which have not yet become
States. Under that ratio the Demo
cratic party would fare badly, because
the majority Of the increase of the cleo
toral vote would be in the States which
that party could not hope to carry in a
Presidential election. In any appor-
tionment New York will get the largest
increase, probably six. Pennsylvania
California, Washington, Illinois, Massa-
chusetts, the Dakotas, Oregon, Rhode
Island and Wisconsin will cain All of
these are Republican States The
Democrats will probably gain four
more votes in Texas and four or five
in the other Southern States. In any
event, this apportionment, however, it
may be made, will cause the volo Of
New York to be still more essential %
Democratic success in 1912. The selection
of United Senator by the new Demo
cratic Legislature in the Empire State
may have Il far reaching effect If
public sentiment is disregarded AMI an
unfit man elected, it may disgust the
independent vote, and arouse the sus-
picion Of the business people and then
drive them back into the Kcpublicon
ranks.

will be the final step in bringing about a

DURING the fiscal year ended june
30, 1910. the expenditures Of the United
States Treasury on account of the army
and navy amounted to $2S2, l47, 166.
With pensions added, which may be re-
garded as expenditures growing out of
past wars, the military budget Of this
peaceful and civilized nation came to
S442, SAB, 5S2 in the past year. For
all civil purposes the Treasury paid out
S2l6, SCI, 500; on u proportional basis
our military expenditures were CT per
cent. and our civil expenditures 33 per
cent. of the total. The public debts of
the nations are essentially war debts;
and in very few instances have these
debts ever been paid. The war expenses
of the civilized world from 1903 to 1910
were over twenty three billions; the pub
lie debts of the European States exceed
twenty-six billions. Pariaments and
Congresses in search of ways and means
to economize could not do better than to
begin by drawing the purse strings on
the militarists.

The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1910-04-01

THE BILBO Jackson is in a turmoil over an
BRIBERY alleged bribery. State Senator
Theo. P. Bilbo CT Pearl River
county states that he was offered a bribe OF $1,000
during the recent senatorial contest before the
legislature to vote for Percy.
According ia Bilbo. the deal was made and
S64s of the amount agreed on vas paid over to HIM.
The alleged bribe giver was l. c, Dulaney of lssa-
ouena county. Bilbo went before the Kinds county
grand Jury a few days ago and as a result. Dulaney
has been indicted. DuidneV ss,uiiy proclairns his
immunity from the charge and brands Bilao a liar.
The observer can only make up his mind from
appearances and con:erporapeons circumstances.
These. in our judgment, furnish the very strongest
sort of proc that the h:ibc vas gwen and taken as
Bilbo declares.
A native Ethiopian could hardly have exercised
worse Judgment than .Bilbo has. He has failed, re-
CARELESS of his intentions, in electing Vdrdaman or
in making himself a hero. He is either drowned or
burned regardless of the outcome. The time Tor
to have branded the alleged debauchery was
when the final ballot of the caucus was being taken.
He has waited so long that he has shrouded his
de clarations in doubt.
The affair is a Blot upon our commonwealth
and shows that al least some Of our people are fast
taking on the ways of the metropolitan East.
We do not believe that Senator PERCY had
aught to do with the alleged Duianey ceai.
But unless Bilbo is shown to be a modern Annani-
as. the commission Senator Percy hold as a y. 5.
senator will appear tainted. and 1t occurs to rs that
the pathway to immortality for him is for him to
resign his seat in the senate and come before the
people with the announcement that while he dis
claims any knowledge, either directly or indirectly,
of any corruption; that he prizes a commission from
his people TOO highly to retain one that b9s the
least cloud upon 1t. This would i~ngratiate him into
the confidence of the people of Mississippi and
make him one OF the invincibles.
The whole affair is to be deeply regretted. Let
it be hoped that full and complete daylight Will be
turned on.

When a question of morals is considered or

stands-he always casts his influence with that
which is best. And he does not define himself IN
any half.hearted way. He is no mollycoddle on

SELECT SITE FOR
NEW CITY BUILDING
Aldermen of East Moline Plan to
Build Before Close of the Year
Limit Number of Saloons.

site for a city hall was ordered
pu, chased by the East Moline council
Monday evening. The buildings and
grounds committee was instructed to
secure prices on five adjoining lots at
the northeast corner of Second ave-
nre and Ninth street which, if pur-
chased, would give the city a tract
120x203 feet. 1t is believed that the
ground can be secured for $4,000.
Plans are to secure ground at once,
that erection of the building may be
started in the spring. A plan for a
twostory structure was drawn more
than a year ago, and this, with some
alterations, may be adopted. The draw
ing in question provides for building
that would cost approximately $4,000.
An ordinance limiting saloons, one
saloon to every 500 inhabitants, was
passed by the East Moline council Mon
day evening. At present there are four
teen saloons doing business in East
Moline and licenses have been issued
for three more. The license fee will
be the same as in the past, $3.50 per
year, and no license may be taken out
soI. more than a year at one time.
