This was the charter OF the
And guardian angels sang this strain:
Rule, Britannia, rule the waves;
Britons never will be slaves.
The nations not so blest as these,
Must in their turns to tyrants fall,
While thou shalt flourish. great and free
The dread and envy Of them all.
Rule, Britannia, rule the waves:
Britons never will be slaves.
stin more majestic shalt thou rise,
More dreadful from each foreign stroke
As the loud blast that tears the skies
Serves but to root thy native oak.
Rule. Britannia. rule the waves;
Britons never will be slaves.
The naughty tyrants ne'er shall tame;
All their attempts to bend thee down
Will but arouse thy generous flame.
But work their woe and thy renown.
Rule, Britannia, rule the waves;
Britons never will be slaves.
To thee belongs the rural reign;
Thy cities shall with commerce shine;
All thine shall be the subject main
And every shore 1t circles thine.
Rule, Britannia, rule the waves;
Britons never will be slaves
The muses. still with freedom found,
Shall to thy happy coast repair:
Blest isle with matchless beauty crown''
And manly hearts to guard the fair.
Rule, Britannia, rule the waves;

KILLED As HE EXPECTED.

Instantaneous death in a horrible
form was meted out by fate to Austin
Miller, master mechanic employed
by the Richmond Iron Works, on the
Brook road, near Yellow Tavern yester.
day morning shortly after 10 o'clock
when lie was thrown from an autorno.
bile, which he was demonstrating, and
his brains were dashed out against a
cedar tree.
James Scarlet, Of Danville, Pa, who
was sitting beside Miller in the car,
was al,o thrown into ditch and re-
ceived light injuries about the hand
and arms.
Miller had bad several hair breadth
escapes from death during the past
three years. He was fatalist and be-
lisved that sooner or later be would
be killed in an automobile accident.
Miller's body was almost totally dis
endowed when it fell at the base Of
the tree, and Scarlet could scarcely re.
cognize the mangled mass. The mas
ter mechanics face was horribly man.

Last night Scarlet who is said to
have been driving tho car was arrested
on a charge of manslaugh,sr. He was
released on $500 bond. It was said the

every possible move been made. The

PRESIDENT TAFT AND THE NOM
NATION.

According to the New York World,
President Taft, despite the seeming
discord prevailing in bis party, will
certainly be renominated for the CHI
| magistracy OF the country By the re-
publicans.
This prediction, which is made witt!
great deal Of confidence, is based or
the theory that the president will LAM
the honor through bis administration
influence, or more specifically speak
ing, through the strength that uearly
always attaches to the 'ins" as op.
posed to the outs.
To demonstrate it's point, the World
calls attention to the case OF President
Harrison, who was allowed q second
nomination despite the opposition oil
his party leaders and at time when
he was heartily despised by the repub,
lican boss, Plat.
And what is more, Harrison had
pitted against him the picturesque and
always popular James G. Blaine.
The more astute leaders of the party
are said 10 have known from thu
start that the nomination OF Harrison
spelled defeat, but, despite this, they
could not suppress him. In the con
gressional elections which proceeded
the republican convention, the demo
Gratis prevailed by overwhelming ma
jorities, but even this did not shake
Harrison's strength when the hna
showdown came.
Looking back over it all today, the
nomination of Harrison seems almost
like deliberate party suicide. Neve,
was man more hated by the members
of his own party. Thomas Collier
Plutt, in his sensational autobiogra.
ply, lambasts Harrison for almost
everything conceivable. He pictures
him as untruthful and insincere, and
facetiously says the man was so frigid
in his attitude towards his fellow NOR
tails that those coming into his pres
ence lameuted their careles,ne>s in not
putting on winter underwear.
And yet Harrison got second nomi.
nation.
Taking his case as notable prece-
dent, the World feels certain that Mr..
Taft will capture the first honors oil
the next republican convention Fur
thermore, il thinks that the big in
dividual now in the White House in
vastly more popular than Harrison,
and that, on the whole, he stands we'll
With the party leaders.
so far as the democrats are cou-
cerned, they have no particular OBJ
lection to the denomination OF Taft.
Personally he is an amable, consid-
crate man, with much charm of man
rer, thought bis most ardent admirers
can hardly call him an Intellectual
genius. As the republican standard
bearer, he would have the benefit Of
a clean record, but would be handi.
capped by an utter lack Of magnetism.
From democratic viewpoint he
would make good candidate to beat.

Provisional figures returned by the
census officers give the population of
England and Wales this year as &c..
075, 269, compared with So, 527 ,S43 in
1901. While most OF the cities and
counties show an increase. there are
many cases, particularly In Wales,
where there has been an actual de-
crease. Greater Loudon's population
has increased to 1852, 963 from $751;
402 in 1901. This increase is entirely
in what is known as thes outer ring,
showing that the psoolss are moving
from the more crowded centers. The
population of New York in 1910 was
6.095. 7le It Is estimated lhst an in:
crease Of 500, 900 has since taken place.
and that the prescott population Of the
