THE TRUTH WELL TOLD.

Don't be afraid to speak Ill of the
dead. No man that has lived should
be saved from deserved criticism by
the commonplace fact of ceasing to
be alive. 81 should WISH" said the
Cardinal de Bernis, "that every re-
gard of politeness be preserved for
the living, but that 1t might be per-
mitted to speak freely ones mind of
the dead"
Filled as our lives are with daily
shams, there is no more absurd and
abominable sham about us than the
mask of sorrow that we wear to the
funeral of a rogue. AS a matter Of
fact, the dead, being safe from phys
ical punishment, should be the more
open to such reprobation as their acts
may have courted.
In true sense, "the evil that men
do lives after them" To condone
the faults of the dead is to corrupt the
morality of the living.-Reginald w.
Kaufman, in The Cosmopolitan.

colored Republicans Against Redue-
ton Scheme.
made at the meeting of the Repub-
lican National Committee to reduce
the representation Of delegates from
the Southern States has aroused the
opposition Of Southern colored Repub-
licans.
In an interview yesterday, e. A.
Clarke, chairman of the Republican
interstate league, recalled the fact
that it was the Western votes which
in the last Republican national con-
vention prevented the passage Of the
resolution to reduce Southern repre-
sentation.
1.-THE South and West" he said,
must combine against the East,
which is solid for the reduction
scheme. The only salvation for the
growing, enterprising, and progressive
West is for it to adhere to the South,
so that it will be possible for the
West, with the aid of the South, to
nominate candidates for President
and Vice President without combin-
ing with the Eastern States, that are
the political, commercial, and in
dustrial rivals of the West"
Mr.. Clarke has prepared a state
ment that the total vote in the next
national convention will be 1,064, in
Guiding New Mexico, of 1912 if Ari-
IONA and New Mexico bith are ad-
mitted. He shows that If the West
ern States again throw their support
to the present system of electing
delegates by Congressional districts
it will prevail.
He says that the reason the Repub-
lican party is so meagerly represented
in the South Is because the colored
man is disfranchised.
"The Republican party" he says,
will regret that when it was in alb
solute control of the legislative,
judicial, and executive branches Of
the government it did not pass a
Federal election law. Had that been
done, the South would have long ago
justified her representation in Repub-
lican conventions on the basis of the
States other than the South by elect
ing Republicans to Congress, instead
Of Democrats, who hold their seats
by the operation of unconstitutional
election laws, with the acquisence Of
the very States that are now seeking
to throw the Southern delegates out
of the conventions of the future. It
is as just and equitable for the South
ern States to have their representa-
ton in Republican national conven-
tons, based upon the number of
Representatives and Senators, as it is
for the States of lesser population to
have an equal representation in the
United States Senate with the States
of greater population"

A newspaper isn't simply bare

ity. 1t comes into your house almost
as a member of your family.
What sort OF a person do you like
to have visit you?
He ought to be honest, courageous,

hand If you need help. Cheerful
ness and good humor are excellent
qualities, and a wide range Of in
terests.
What do you find in. The Star?
It has opinions, OF course, and 1t
speaks them out freely. They are its
own and they are not influenced by
outside interests. The square deal is
it's platform.
In handling news it observes the
decencies and amenities of life. 1t
never wantonly brings shame or sor-
row to any home. It's advertisements
are clean.
If the Twin City Star does not

fight almost anything from cat to a

victor. The other day Zeke, as the
rooster is called, was out in a wood
lot near the house, trying to pick a
fuss with an Old ram, when a large
hawk, in search of a chicken dinner,
swooped down on the rooster and tried
to carry it away. The result of the
encounter as told by Barnell follows:

Seventh Son In Relolum.

Brussels, Belgium.-In the early
days of the reign of the late King Leo
pold of Belgium. seventh son was
born to Brussels woman, and whbqn
the king heard of 1t and was told that
the boy was the seventh successive one
and that no girl had come to the fam
lily. he asked to be the baby's god
father.
Ever since then every seventh son
born in Brussels has had the same
honor, and the mothers have received
gifts in keeping with their station in
life. King Albert, in carrying out the
old usage a short time ago had some
difficulty because the seventh son was
twins. He could not stand for both
boys. because that would give the fam,
lily two Alberts. The remedy was
found by Queen Elizabeth. who sug1
gested that her little son. the duke Of
Brabant. be the godfather of the eighth
boy, who consequently received the
name of Leopold.

FIRE VICTIMS NUMBER 144
Sixteen-year-old Girl Who Jumped
From the Ash Building
is Last to Die.
Copyright. 19l1.)

New York --The death of Sarah
Kupla, 16-yearold girl, who jumped
from the eighth floor of the Asch
building during the recent fire hor-
ror, brought the list of victims up to
a total of 144. The girls back was
broken and she had been unconscious
ever since the fatal leap.
The Identification of another girls
body by a strange arrangement of
buttons on her shoe brought the list
of unnamed down to IA. There
seems little chance of further identi-
fication and the Charities Board has
made arrangements to bury them in
the cemetery of the Evergreens in
plot owned by the city.
Assistants of the district attorneys
Office and Fire Marshal Beers, who
are conducting Investigations into the
disaster, besides visiting the Asch
Building, further examined survivors.
Contributions to the relief fund
amounts to more than $4,000.
An aged woman who said she was
the mother of Annie Colletti, one of
the fire victims, told the coroner that
when her daughters body was re-
turned from the morgue for burial
1900 which she says the young
woman had sewed in her skirt was
missing. She explained that her
daughter was afraid to trust banks
and always carried large sums of
money on her person

JUSTICE O'GORNAN

GETS THE INSURGENTS VOTES
Mr.. O'Gornnan Made Fine Record
on Supreme Bench of New York
City--For 80 Years One of
Tammany's Best Orators.

Albany, n. Y.-By an unanimous
vote of 112 of ia Democratic men,
bers of the Legislature, Justice
James A. O'Gorman, of New York,
was elected United States Senator to
fill the vacancy caused by the eXpira-
ton of the term of Chauncey NJ. De-
pew He is the first Democrat to be
sent to the Senate from the Empire
State since Edward Murphy was
chosen in 1898.
Fifteen of the 80 insurgents re-
manned out of the caucus which pre-
ceded the election All of them voted
for Justice O'Gorman on joint bal
lot When the election was over,
like Democrats of old, the insurgents
and regulars threw their hats in the
air together and agreed to work
shoulder to shoulder for the accom-
plishment of the important measures
which have been sidetracked by the
Senatorial squabble.
Confusion that almost approached
disorder and thunderous demonstra-

ton of the remarkable deadlock,
which has held the Legislature prac-
tically at a standstill for "a days
1912 weeks. The end of the long,
wearing struggle came in the Council
room of the City Hall, with the legis-
lators, packed like sardines in box,
and with the Democratic leaders
standing by with eagle eye, worried
almost to the last for fear their plans
for a settlement would at the final
moment be upset.
A recess has been taken until April
II to give workmen a chance to re-
pair the damaged Capitol. Meantime
the leaders will busy themselves with
some of the important administra-
tion measures, and it is expected that
when the lawmakers reconvene on
the day after Easter legislation will
be put through with a rush.
Governor Dix, whose business ad-
ministration has been imperiled by
the deadlock. has expressed deep re-
lief that the warfare has ceased. His
expressions of qualification have
found echoes in the statements of
practically all the leaders, Republi-
can as we'll as Democratic.
