AeropIane Flights At Hagerstown.

In order to make their first annual
event one long to be remembered, the
Hagerstown Driving Club have secured
at an enormous expense for their decora-
ton day meet Morok, the world-famed
aviator, who will positively give series
of aeroplane flights, the like OF which
have never been witnessed before in this
section. Morok has recently made an
offer to fly from the roof of the New
Grand Central Palace, New York City,
in bi-plane of his own design and con-
struction. Morok is one OF the most daf-
ing and courageous of the men now
active in the field of aeronautics, and is a
native of Belgium. He is absolutely
without fear, and comes with the highest
credentials, guaranteeing three flights,
rain or shine. The aeroplanes used will
be on exhibition at the fair grounds from
10 to IL O'Clock on decoration day, May
3Oth, the flights taking place Immediately
after dinner. In addition big, monster
parade, with music everywhere in the
morning, and big horse races, with plenty
of speed to pick from; funny mule race;
bicycle race; race between motor
cycles; a race between the fastest motor
cycle in this section and an aeroplane;
chariot race; and "classy" horse show
all on decoration day. Take day off
and visit Hsgerstown, and get an old
fashioned Maryland welcome The time
of your life, so don't miss it.

The Origin of Decoration Day.

Editor Regster-On Princess street, in
Shepherdstown, there was once p retty
grove, or nook, in which grew many
trees unmolested, making il a shady place.
Through the grove the town run ran with
its ripping music, and close by a dense
hedge of the old-time hundred-leaf rose
bushes. In season were an abundance
OF these blushing roses, inviting all to
come and gather them. AT one end OF
this shady nook stood an ancient cottage,
which added greatly TO the quaint cid
place. A rude fence surrounded the
grove but had fallen away in many places,
so all went in and gathered flowers with
out interruption.
An ardent Southern girl 1--WE were all
girls those days., with warm impulses,
manifested deep interest in soldier
friend, who, bold and rash, had so often
penetrated the darkest nights and riSked
the flash of the picket guns to bring let
tiers and news OF our friends who were
cut off from home and friends. He had
fallen in the fray, and our hearts went
out to such. One day message came,
saying, Gather up all the flowers you
can and 90 TO Elmwood and let us deco
rate Tire grave" With the same warm
impulse, and knowing of the shady
grove, an apron was Immediately tied on,
shears were bought, and our apron was
filled to its utmost with the blooming
roses. When we reached the cemetery,
and passed by the many unknown graves,
how our hearts were saddened. To the
grave we were to decorate we went. 1t
lay on the hillside overlooking the many
others who had also fallen in the strife.
We placed our choice flowers at the head.
But how arrange the others, equally as
beautiful and so many. But we soon set
to work, placing the bluShing roses close
TO each other over the grave. Far out
they extended on each side. 1t was even
as princes mantle, so lovely, and as
we looked and admired we thought that
the angels would approve. We turned,
and there before us lay the many graves
no one to place flower, no mother or
wife or sister to drop tear. With the
same spirit that had prompted us before,
we with one consent turned, and gathered
up all the roses, and said, eve will Strew
them over the lonely graves"
The shades of evening were fast gath
ering eer we had finished, but when we
left the spot several blushing roses were
lying on each soldiers heart. We came
to town, and how sorry all our girl friends
were that we had not told them, they
would have gathered many flowers and
would have profusely decorated them all.
Then and there we with one accord said,
"We will appoint Saturday evening and
will gather all we can in town and coun-
try to come and bring all flowers. They
came, and such turnout No fine We
hicles, for it was war time, but all we
could ask. Other places caught the spirit,
and thus kept the cause going until now
it has gone Ger land and sea, and there
are none who can say, "You put no
flowers on Papa's grave"

THE Republicans OF West Virginia in
convention assembled last week decreed
that the vote of this State should be cast
solidly for Theodore Roosevelt at the
Chicago convention. The old leaders of
the party were flattened out under the
steam roller, and the faction so ably led
by Governor Glasscock, former Cover
nor Dawson and Hon. VIM. p. Hubbard
was in full control. Poor Mr.. Taft
never had look-in, and his friends were
cast into outer darkness. The delegates
at-large to the Chicago convention are
Governor Glasscock, VIM. P. Hubbard
for the first district, Sam B. Montgomery
for the second district, w. S. Edwards
for the third district, c. A. Swearingen
for the fourth district, and d. B. Smith
for the fifth district.
The victorious wing of the party
clinched its hold on the organization by
adding fifteen new members-all of their
own choosing-to the State committee,
and former Senator Scott and his adher-
entS are helpless haS-beens. They
won't have any sort of chance until next
November, when they can have their re-
yenge at the polls.

ALAS Poor President TAFT is not only
beaten, but he is, besides, Inundated.
His own State OF Ohio has rcpudiated him
at the polls and given his enemy Roose-
welt almost its entire vote-and this, too,
after the President made the most SIREN
uous weeks campaign OF his whole life
trying TO induce the voters to support
him. He doesn't even have the SatlSfac-
ton OF close vote, for Roosevelt beat
him by vote of three to two at the pri-
mary election on Tuesday.
We do not see how President Taft can
now be nominated. Even if he should
with the help OF the National Committee
manage to control a majority OF the con-
vention, his proven unpopularity makes
it only too plain that il would be party
suicide to nominate him. The result OF
the Ohio election will undoubtedly cause
stampede to Roosevelt among certain
delegates from the Southern States who
are Republicans for revenue only.
The passing of President TAFT is pathet-
ic, in that he takes it so hard.

but two trifling indictments being return

there are found men who still insist on

AFTER eighty-six years OF agitation,
Congress has at last passed a measure
authorizing vote by the States on an
amendment to the Constitution providing
for direct election of United States Sen
ators. Violent opposition is expressed
to the measure by several Southern Sen
ators, because OF provision that the
said elections are to be under the super
vision Of Congress, which they profess
TO fear will have the effect Of multiplying
State election laws. While this provis-
ion is objectionable-and was vicarious-
ly vicious on the part OF Senator Bristow
nevertheless there is so much good in
the measure that we feel justified in urg-
ing its adoption by the States. Corrup-
ton and evil almost always accompany
the choosing of Senators by Legislatures
in these latter days, and direct election by
the people will at least allow the selection
of Legislators unbrioed by candidates for
the Senate.
