NEW ADVERTISING MANAGER.

As stated in the Gazette yesterday the
policy OF this paper, while continuing
to be conservative, will be more pro-
gressive than it ever has been before
and it was with this idea in view that
the present owners secured the services
of J. H. Mclaughlin as manager Of
its advertising department. Mr.. Nc
Laughln is we'll qualified to fill the po-
sition having advanced himself from
reporter on the old Norfolk (Va.) Dis
patch to advertising manager OF the
Norfolk Ledger-D Dispatch and then to
business manager OF the Portsmouth
(Va.) Star. He has also served on the
Philadelphia Press and other metropoli-
tan dailies aud has made study not
only Of the newspaper business in a
general way, but also Of the manner IN
which the necessities and desires OF adj
yertisers can best be served. 1t is the
opinion of Mr.. Mclaughlin that adver-
Using which produces profitable re.
suits is the best for all concerned and
he has placed his services as an adver-
Using writer at the disposal of the pa
irons OF the Gazette in order to accom-
plish that result. We believe that Mr..
Mclaughlin work in Alexandria vii!
be of material benefit to the business
interests OF this city.

COUNCIL MUST GET TOGETHER

IT'S vitality important to Alexan-
dria that the City Council get together
at tonight's meeting and settle the long
discussed tax rate. Matters Of import
ance are being held up until the tax
rate is finally decided and the interests
OF the city are suffering in consequence.
The difference between the factions
in Council are very slight and does not
warrant the long drawn out discussions
which have taken place. No matter
what rate is adopted, let the Council do
something tonight. The public de-
mands that this question be settled.

DISCUSS MCNAMARA CASE.

A we'll attended meeting Of the Alex
andria Trades Council, practically
every affiliated craft being represented,
was held last night in Labor Hall
While the all absorbing topic of the
meeting was the great labor demon
straiion to take place at the Opera
House on Wednesday night, at which
John w. Kern, late candidate for
sice-president, Henry George, jr.. son
OF the famous single taXer, William B.
Wilson, chairman Of the House COM
mittee on labor and Congressman G. G..
Carln, are to speak, the body never
theless took the time to discuss the re-
cent arrest Of John j. Mcnamara, Sec
rotary of the Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers Union, for completely in
the blowing up Of tie Times building,
at Los Angeles, California. The con-
sensus OF opinion OF the delegates
present was that while on the face Of
the case as it stands today there is
every reason to believe that Mcnamara
is innocent OF the charges which have
been brought against him and that no
stone should be left unturred to insure
for him fair and impartial trial, yet
il it be proven beyond a reasonable
doubt that he is really guilty, the mem
beers Of organized labor will be as heart
lily in favor Of giving him the same
punishment, which is meted out to
other criminals for similar crimes, as
any one else. Beyond an expression
OF opinion Of the delegates on the sub
ject however, no action was taken last
night, the members believing that
further information which would prob
ably be forthcoming as result OF the
investigation into the matter being
conducted by the officials of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor, should be
secured before official action should be
taken by the Alexandria body.
An election of delegates to the an
nual convention of the Virginia State
Federation Of Labor, which convenes
at Richmond on the first Tuesday in
June was also held last night. Howard

Now, the bright morning star, day
harbinger,
Comes dancing from the East and leads
with her
The Flowery May, who from her green
lap throws
The yellow cowslip and the pale prlm-
rose.
Hail, bounteous May, that doth INSPIRE
Mirth and youth. and warm desire;
Woods and groves are of thy DRESSING
Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing.
Thus we salute with early song
And welcome thee and wish thee long.

SENATOR JOHN w. KERN.

SENATOR JOHN WORTH KERN, OF In-
diana, who is 10 be one Of the speakers
at the mass meeting Wednesday night
has been prominently identified with
public life in the middle west for more
than quarter OF century. Whlle
born ia Indiana and living there during
his life he is we'll known to Nirginlans,
having numerous relatives in the Old
Dominion and 1t has been his custom
for years to spend portion OF his va
cations 10 the mountains OF this state.
In early manhood his pleasing person
atty and political capacity and elo-
quence gave him high standing in
the political councils of his party and
every campaign since the early Suites
has found him active upon the stump.
His first public office was that OF re-
porter Of the Supreme Court, posi-
ton which has always for some reason
been sort of stepping stone to higher
positions. 1t was filled by former
President Benjamin Harrison and by
John L. Grtiiths, now the head OF the
consular service of the United States.
The only other elective position he ever
held previous to his election to the
Senate was that Of state senator, in
which capacity he served four years.
He was city attorney of indianapolis
for six years. On the death Of Sena-
tor VOORHEES, the eyes OF the Indiana
democrats turned to Kern as his sue
cessor and it is probably true that he
has stronger hold upon the affections
of the rank and file in Indiana than
any man has had since the Tall Syca-
more Of the Wabash died fourteen
years ago. 1t was because OF his per-
sonal popularity with republicans as
we'll as democrats that he was drafted
to lead the democrats as candidate
for governor in 1900 and in 1904 when
the prospects were hopeless and in both
contests he ran thousands OF votes
ahead of his ticket In 1908 he was
nominated for the Vice Presidency
without any effort on his part and dur
ing the campaign stumped the country
and was heard in Virginia. On his re-
turn from the Denver convention he
was given q non-partisan ovation suck
as has never been accorded another
man in Indiana. He was elected to
the Senate in 1910 receiving his nomi-
nation for the first time in the history
OF the state directly from the hands OF
the rank and file Of his party in con-
vention assembled and he has already
taken high position for a new sena-
tor, being member OF the finance
committee.
As speaker he is noted for the earn
estness, simplicity, sincerity and home
ly eloquence Of his discourse and has
long been in demand as an orator on
purely non-political occasions. While
one of the leading lawyers of Indiana
he has throughout his career been in
hearty sympathy with every legitimate
effort of the working classes to reach
higher plane OF vantage.

AGED BRIDEGROOM AND HIS
YOUNG BRIDE PLAY QUITS.

Several months ago William w.
Martin, who, it was stated, owned a
farm in Cobb county, married his
trained nurse in Atlanta. He was
eighty-two years old and mis- daugh-
ters thought he ought to have known
better. They started habeas corpus
proceedings and have finally gotten
possession of their father again.
His bride gives him up cheerfully,
without waiting for the courts de-
cision. She says he was a great lot
of trouble, had to be turned over in
bed every fifteen minutes in the
night and would swear at her if she
did not step lively enough to suit
him. So the romance Winter and
Spring, started last Summer did not
last until Christmas.

Pencil Paragraphs

Recently Marietta lady phoned me
that her little daughter was suffering
with earache so her party had been
postponed and added she had never
known ear and throat troubles to be so
prevalent. 1t seems reasonable to be-
lieve the habit OF going bareheaded in
the wind and sun may cause ear ache.
In cold climates people spend great
deal OF time out doors in all kinds of
weather, but they wear caps and
mufllers and heavy shoes.
Infants only month Old are carried
out in mid winter, but their faces are
covered with wells loosely knitted of
fine ice-wool that is not soft and
clinging, but strong and wiry so the
meshes stand open.
Southerners who spend winters in
coolest Canada, with zero weather for
months together, come home in
splendid health and spirits. 1t is cold
winds and sudden changes, the doctors
say, that bring so mucn sickness in
Southern winters. 1t is necessary to
be defended from Jack Frost
