SPEAR GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIN
One Experience With White Mans
Weapon Was Enough for
African Native.

When Mr. Montague, the English
traveller, was in Africa, he gave to a
native an old single-barreIed gun, and
the fellow was delighted. He put in
a small handful of powder, and about
a quarter of newspaper On top of
it, and finally bail, and then rammed
the whole charge down. Then he de-
parted. In the evening he returned,
with his face battered and swollen al
most beyond recognition. What have
you been doing?" asked the English
man, in amazement The native sat
down On the ground and said, sorrow
fully: "A little after noon / found the
track of Glands, and l followed it IN
til | found them feeding. l crept up
to one Of them. He was twenty yards
away. / rested the barrel of the
gun on a stone, placed the butt
against my nose, directed the muzzle
toward the Gland, and pulled the trig-
ger. l do not know what happened,
for | was blind and deaf for some
time, but when / came to found my
self lying at the bottom of the gully.
The gun was beside me, my face was
as you now see it, and the Glands had
gone away Son of a white man, it
was very kind of you to give me a
gun, but it is too good gun for me
too strong, too powerful. 1t needs
the wisdom of white man to rule

COURT HOLDS Up
REDUCTION Of
RAILROAD RATES

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 10.-The
Commerce Court has suspended the
Interstate Commerce Commission order
putting into effect the long n short
haul clause of the act to regulate com
mercc.
The Ease In question Is known as the
Spokane case and involves the back
haul freight rates on goods shipped
from. he Atlantic coast to Pacific ports.
The Interstate Commerce commission
ordered a reduction of the rates from
the East to inter-mountain points such
a. Spokane. Helena. Salt Lake City and
other towns. Tit order was to go into
effect next Wednesday.

that show no discrimination between

TO this confusion Is added the inter-
lection Of the water haul" that Is,

New York to San Francisco via tho

as we'll as the transcontinentai roads
and fix the rates at will. For rail ship
ments to the Pacific coast they charge
the same as for water shipments. When
the goods are destined for intermediate
points In the Rocky Mountains the rail-
roads add the local rate from a Fran
cisco eastward. Thus the rate on first
class freight from New York to San
Francisco now is 50; to Salt Lake City

FRENCH PREMIER CHARGED WITH
NOT PROPERLY ENFORCING
ANTl-cLERICAL LAWS.
CABINET CLINGS TO LIFE
Leader, "Sick of u All" Wants TO
Quit, but FostPones His Decision
Until After Cbsequies of
Minister Brun.

Paris, Feb. 27.-Premier BRAND for
the first time in his brilliant career as
the controlling influence in the govern
ment of France finds himself on SHIFT
ing sand. 1t is quite probable the res
ignation of the cabinet will be present
ed to President Fallieres at once. If
this course Is not adopted it will be
more because of the urging of personal
friends and the fact that no other
strong leader appears available than
because of any desire on the part OF
the premier to continue the fight
against the radical Socialists and anti
clericals.
The premier's friends describe him
as sick of it all, worn out physically
and weary in spirit over the bicker-
ings and petty distractions" Only a
broad sense of duty will hold him il
he remains at his post.
Confidence Weakening.
But beyond the matter of his per-
sonal inclinations there is the unques,
toned weakening Of the premer'a
power and of confidence in his min,
istry.. The leader, who has before sur,
yiyed grave crises and come out with
a triumphant vote of the chamber OF
deputies, now has escaped censure OF
the government by a bare majority OF
16 Votes.
The Socialists, who have never for,
given the premier for modifying tho
extreme ecclesiastical views which he
championed when he first entered pub.
lie life, have attacked him persistent,
ly
Recently BRAND was assailed jointly
by the clericals and Socialists Now
he is charged with cl0ricalism The
discussion arose through interpella
tions blaming the government for not
having applied the laws against relig
ious bodies with proper severity The
onslaught was led By the radical SO
cialists, Louis Malyy and Paul Meu
nier.
Action Is Postponed.
Following the adjournment of the
chamber. the cabinet met at the pre-
mier's office FOREIGN Minister Pichon
and Minister of Commerce Dupoy were
for resigning at once
All the other ministers were opposed
10 an immediate retirement unless fur
ther developments should make this
move imperative.
Brands personal wish was to be
free from the obligations of his office
but his resnonsibilitv to the parlia
mentary groups supporting him and
the country caused him to remain for
the present.
After a six-hour discussion, an ad
jcurnment was taken.
Later the ministers m conference
decided to postpone the question OF
their designations until after the OBJ.
seQuies of General Brun, the late min.

MUCH WORK is PILED Up

George Ciirton, Special Correspondent
Washington, FEB. 27-Senators OF
Longest service say that never In their
memory has there been such conges
ton of legislation within week OF
the closing of a session. Reciprocity
tariff board popular election of sena-
tors, the Lorimer case and appropria.
ton bills are piled together in a con.
fusion
Extra Session Is Expected.
A miracle may avert an extra ses-
sion. There is an intimaton that the
amendment to the postohice bill in.
creasing the mail rate on the advertis-
ing sections of magazines may be with
drawn III order to avert additional OBJ
structive tactics. Possibly an unwill
ing but general consent may allow sew
eral matters to escape from debate
with full understanding that they are
to &c over to another congress and are
not to be used to hinder consideration
of reciprocity and the appropriation
bills. The weight of evidence, how
ever, is in favor OF fixed intention to
talk the Canadian agreement to death
and yield only time enough from the
talking to give opportunity to say the
words which will make the supply bills
into laws.
Washington is witnessing for the
first time the workings of a machine
like agreement between Progressives
and Reactionaries, who, until this
month, have had no kindly word to
say for one another since Roosevelt
first preached progression to the mem
bers of the house and senate.
The standpatters and the tariff re.
visionists in the Republican party want
reciprocity killed for Numerically op-
posite reasons, but they want it killed.
Whether or not at the last moment
they will dare to hit it on the head is
left to be seen, but unless Hale. Smoot
and Cummins and La Toilette are good
makers Cf their intention, they intend
not only to be- in at the tn, but con-
senting 10 1t.
Extra Session te End Glee.
If there is an extra session of con-
gress to tahe UP the subject OF reel
procity, it is certain that either the
Standpatters or the Progressives who
today are SO happy in their new-found
comradeship, will be a badly discom-
fitted and disappointed lot. Both fac
tions can not hope to get the desired
reward for their present obstructive
tactics,
The Standpatters want reciprocity
killed. because it "opens the way to
further tariff revision" while the Pro
gressives want 1t killed, because, by
failure ta include certain manufac-
tured articles, it does not go far
enough along revision lines. Some
body's feelings are gong to get hurt
as the result Of the action of the next
congress.

Gloucester County Democrat., 1911-11-02

Editor of Democrat: On Nov. 7th,
the voters of Gloucester county will
name the next Senator and as the
present incumbent, Mr.. Gaunt, Master
of the State Grange, has made di-
rect appeal in a circular letter to the
Patrons" of Gloucester county for
their support, in this contest, | am
prompted, as Patron" to reply to his
request, although, / confess, / was not
on his "Fraternal" appeal-mailing-list
which may have been mere oversight.
1t has always been my understanding
that it was a sacred code" of the
Grange to keep out of politics and not
allow the use of the organization as
a political asset to further the politi-
cal purposes of it's officers, but when
the Master" of that organization re-
sorts to the power of his Office to in
fluence political opinion among his
"atron" constituents to elect him to
represent the Republican party in the
Senate from Gloucester county, then
protest that he is violating the basic
precepts of the Grange to promote his
political conquests.
Having made this stealthy effort to
SEIZURE tu0 SYMPATHY VI 0ldhSClo .
throughout the county, I feel that |
am justified, as his opponent, in de-
nouncing the sinister methods, and
have right to use the weapons of
political warfare furnished by the pol
itical party who named him as their
standard-bearer Upon the open dec
laration of Governor Wilson, he is
the standard" pattern of stand
er'-moulded by the Board OF
Guardians" who nominated him, after
the models from their own workshop.
1t is absurd to ask the Progressive
Patrons of Gloucester county to
send such as their representative.
Would the Board of Guardians"
have permitted his denomination any
more than that of Senator Bradley, of
Camden county, if he had not con-
sented to "go along? p
Your obedient servant,

Gloucester County Democrat., 1911-11-02

Member of the General Assembly and
Eagain a candidate before the people
for that position Of trust a man who
did not betray his post of honor, and
who honestly helped Governor Wilson
in redeeming the campaign pledges
made to the people.
n ~ - s{3g
Ex-Governor Fort, in his Elizabeth
speech last week, uttered these words:
The laws put through the last Legis-
lature, through the efforts of Governor
Wilson, were just what tried to have
enacted while Governor, but was
thwarthed by a hostile Republican
Legislature.
1The failure of my party to keep its
promises the former Governor de-
clared, was responsible for the over
whelming Republican defeat last fall. ]"
Be it remembered that Senator
Gaunt was a member of that hostile
Republican Legislature" that thwarth-
ed Governor Fort, and was responsible
for the failure of Gov. Forts admin
istration.
And be it remembered further, that
former Governor Stokes was one of
the Board of Guardians that steered
the legislature and Senator Gaunt to
oppose Gov. Fort and the platform on
which he was elected
And remember it next Tuesday, that
Senator Gaunt is actually saying that
he aided Gov. Wilson toswhom he was
opposed.
If he opposed his own Governor,
and aided in his failure to redeem his
pledges to the people, does anybody
believe that he aided Gov ) Wilson to
redeem the same pledges?
Our intelliget readers will see the
application.
