the members of the Colquitt Camp
in honor of Gen. Lees birthday and
the refreshments were lavishly
served by the ladies in the most
gracious manner. After this, A.

cigars to each and every guest pres

By way Of entertainment, the lit
tie daughter Of 7. c. Smith gave one
of her inimitable recitatiOns that
pleased every one.
Comrade BIanton gave an in
tereSdnG chapter from his expert
ence in the war, he ia wing entered

served three years.
Comrade Leslie also gave ashort

Comrades Martin and Bradford
pleased the guests with their 6raci-
Gus speeches.
The Commander of the Camp, Mr.
Randell, pressed the thanks Of
his comrades for the thoughtful
kindness extended them by the
members of the U. D. c.
There were present % members
of the Camp, which was organized
in 1904 with forty members, after
wards increasing its number to go.
Since then a third of the number
have passed over the river.

TO battle for their homes. She re-
membered how enthusiastic they
were inspired with true patriotism
and the South is grateful that the
world has conceded that the Con-
federate soldier was the bravest
ever known.
These annual meetings where on
ly remnant of grand army sur

those who remember the past.
Every day the church bell tolls
telling of the passing away of a
hero, who was once the hope and
the pride of the South They are
rapidly being mustered out by the

Molasses and Vinegar {.


 W. J. Bryan cannot bear to be dis liked, and is now trying to re-estab- fish the amia bilities which were dis turbed by his course at the Baltimore convention. In his paper this week he prints the following Tribute to MT. Clark:
 All democratic candidates for con- gress in the Ninth Missouri district have withdrawn in order that Champ Clark may have an uncontested field. This gracious act will meet with the appreciation of men of all parties. Un- questionably Mir Clark met with a great disappointment at Baltimore and political disa appointments are often very keen. They cut to the very quick the unsuccessful candidate him. self, and they press most hehvily upon those nearest and dearest to him But such things are to be classed among the fortunes of war and men of experience and judgment may sweep them aside as altogether incon- sequential. Surely MT. Clark will find consolation in the assurances of af- lection that come from his o1d-time neighbors and in the graceful act Of the ambitions men of his district who would probably be glad of the oppor- tunity to serve teSm or two in con gress. MT. Bryan claims a place among those who are rejoieed by these incidents and who would be glad to see the highest sort of happiness enter the fife of Champ Ciark-and the life of every enc he loves."'
 Char2p Clark is not to be placated so easily. But he will utter no more bitter words about the man who an- tagpnized him aT Baltimore. When he was asked his opinion of the f"olive branch offered to him by Bryan le replied: 'I have no comment to make. I have nothing to sayeabout MT. Bryan or the Commoner. That settles it''

NEWHAVEN'S GRAND LIST


 The people of New Haven betray some mild surprise because the state bosrd of equalization has raised the va1aations by the assessors some $4,- ooo. .000. The claim is made that New Haven is assessed more nearly &C., cording to actual value than Sany other city in Connecticut. The state rnent will scarcely stand against Bridgeport. Bridgeport and New Ha- ven are substantially upon a par in the assessment of dwelling house property Both underassess property used for manufacturing, but Bridge port has made somewhat more pro- gross toward the equal assessment of property of the latter kind. as a comparison with the returns of man. ufacturers of the United States Cen sus BureaIi, with the grand lists com piled by the New Haven and Bridge port assessors will show.

That Stump"
(New Haven Union.)

(NeW tdaV0n OnlOn.)
 It is a wise decision on the part of President Taft not to take the stump in the impending presidential cam paign. Nothing, in fact, has injured his prestige more than his public par ticipation in the scramble for votes with his predecessor in the late Re publican primary. The spectacle of the chief magistrate of this na- tion mixing in rough and tumble political fight is not one which pleas es the people. They rightly feel that if the President has no respect for himself, he ought to at least respect the office he holds.
 Nothing that President Taft can do now will help his chances more than the pursuing of a quiet and dignifed course during the impending cam paign. This is a policy which has been followed, with a single excep- ton, by those who have previously held this high office. Furthermore, MT. Taft is not a. good campaigner. His speeches are merely ammunition for the enemy and he, himself is not all convincing on the stump. Again, we repeat, the further MT. Taft keeps away from the political hustings the better it will be for MT. Taft.
 And what we say about President Taft in this matter is advice which we offer with equal sincerity to Gov. Will son. During the late presidential pri- maries, the people were satiated even nauseated, by the undignified cart-tail campaigns that then prevailed. There is no necessity for, either MT. Taft or MT. Wilson running all over the ccun- try in wild personal scramble for votes. The press and hundreds of able opponents of their cause will car ry their ideas to the public. They can issue carefully considered statements from Beverly or Washington, Sea Girt or Trenton, as occasion requires. A few speeches in large metropolitan centers might be permissible; but the fewer the better.
 Both MT Taft and MT. Wilson can we'll afford to at least give the ap- pearance Of not falling all over them selves in chasing after the presidency. An exclusive monopoly to that sort of thing should be given to that arch friend of monopoly. Theodore Roose- welt

LOSING s1,OOO, ,OOO A YEAR

We have been earnestly assured, by the august head of the New Haven railway system, that capitalization and rates have nothing to do with each other. But wages and capital ization,. it appears, have an intimate connection, for Attorney Benjamin L. Spock, one of numerous counsel for the New Haven railroad, has just in formed the arbitration committee that the Connecticut company is losing d million dollars year, and therefore canHot afford to pay more wages to troileymen.
 A scrutiny of the report of the Con- necticut company, as made to the railroad commissioners, shows that each five cent fare carries a profit of a little less than two cents.
 This is more profit in terms of per- centage than the ordinary merchant, business man, or financier, is per- mitted to take.
 How can the Connecticut company then lose million dollars a year?
 Because the Connecticut company is merely an alias for whole series of companies, with constantly chang ing names, which issued millions of dollars of capitalization without any value behind it except the right to exploit the community
 After the balloon had been inflated , until it was like to burst, the New Haven railroad took it over, under 9es year lease-equivalent under the law of this state to ownership-with a rental rising rapidly to s1,5OO,OO0 a year.
 4 situation was produced where the two cents profit on each street railway fare could not meet the de- mands for dividends and interest on inflated securities, and the lease came. as an assessment upon patrons of the steam road to meet the de- ficiency.
 The water in the Connecticut conl- pany, or which that company took over, is not in law or morals entitled to the slightest consideration. The company is enormously profitable It only became unproftabl when it's in-. come is considered in connection with the lie about the investment" When MT. Spock says that the Con- necticut company is losing a million company is making a large profit on what it has invested, afd another large profit on what it has not sn- vested, but is unable to turn all its water into gold. This is no reason why honest workers should suffer in their wages.

The Gamblers Underworld.
(New Haven Union.)

(4NSW hdVGn OnlOn.)
 The assassination of Herman Rosen- thai, wealthy New York gambler evidently by sporting men or police who wished to seal his mouth forever, is a revelation of the evil forces call ed into existence by the vice of gam bling These forces are felt in DOW CT in every large city in the land and have their grip on every town of any size.
 The tremendous grip of the gambling evil would surprise many cautious aid industrious citizens who walk their ways daily through. the sober paths of business, with scarcely thought of the underworld of unlawful gaming that lies underneath modern society.
 As giving some idea Of the forces at work in one form of the vice alone. that of race track gambling, Josiah Flynt estimated few years ago that S11O,000.000 annually are Wagered on races in the United States.
 He estimated that out of this pot of gold, the bookmakers operating on the tracks clean up a profit annually of $15,000, ,00O, while pool-room sharps get $2O, COG, 900. From this, however, large sums have to be paid in tips to police and politicians.
 With such stakes as these laid down, passion is aroused to the point where the murder of Rosenthal now and then becomes merely the next play in the game.
 The fascina tions of the green cloth and the pool room ought to be with out allurement to the normal mind that is following the paths of regular industry. Sordid as money may be, bank note after all is the repre- sentative of something very substan- tial and honorable. It stands for mems hopes and fears. their toilson1e labor. the tasks to which they have devoted human energy and hearts. de.
