Bishop Whitaker Dead of Grip.

Bishop OH w. Whitaker, head of
the Protestant Episcopal diocese of
Pennsylvania, died at his home, 4027
Walnut street, Philadelphia.
His death was caused by general
breakdown, due to his advanced age,
nearly eighty-one years, augmented
by severe cold that threatened pneu-
monia.
The serious turn in his illness came
about week ago. He showed slight
improvement at times until Wednes-
day night, when he fell into a sleep
from which he could not be wakened
DR.. John Fl. Girvin, his attending ply
scian, said that death was peaceful
and without pain. At his bedside when
he passed away were two nieces and
other relatives. His wife died in
June, 1908.

The Republican party is instinct
lively progressive; and when in the
firm grip of it's rcactionaries and

always suffers defeats. The Rcpub-
licans Of the Middle West who have
been StigmatiZed as "nsurgentS"

Taft's own attitude toward tariff
revision, up to one year ago, was
exactly the same as that of the
group of men who in August Of
last year, on the final vote. did not
stand with the majority. The word
'insurSent' arose in a different
way, and ought not to have been
applied where it did not fit the case
The insurgents were simply those
members of the House who chose
to make the fight against Speaker
CannOn'S control Of business under
the existing rules. One by one the
worst features OF the rules have
been modified, without unduIy
weakening the system required for
victory of the insurgents was in
June, when practically all factions
and parties united in comforting up
on each individual member the
right to ask the House to discharge
committee from considering

calendar regardless of it's status in

WHY NOT PAVE SENTN?

The discussion arising from or

Sentz alley is and has been for many
years constant menacc to the
health of the community. There Is
not, it is fairly safe to state, an
other street or alley Of the same
length in the city in which more
people live than Scntz, yet in the
winter months it is all but imp 5s;i-
bic on account Of mud. In the sum
mcr months dust makes life misur-

the duty OF the members of both

pure elections, the Negro must stop
selling his vote; the white man must
stop buying it. To wipe out con-
