wh,r, The crav Hairs Came From.

The attitude Of the commanding gen
erals of the north and south toward
each other, after the final surrender,
writes Mr.. Thomas Nelson Page In
his recent book on General Lee, is
one that the world regarded with as.
constituent. and that Americans may
forever look back upon with pride. In
Illustration, Mr.. Page offers an engag-
ing anecdote from Longs memoir of
Lee.
It appears that on the afternoon of
the day OF the surrender at Appomat-
tox, Meads paid friendly visit to
Lee at his headquarters. In the
course of the conversation. Lee turned
to Meade, who had been associated
with him as his officer Of engineers in
the "old army" and said. pleasantly:
Meade, years are telling on you.
Your hair is getting quite gray"
"Ah. General Lee" was Meade's
prompt reply. that is not the work Of
years. You are responsible for my
gray hairs"

A young man who had never testi-

as a witness in a certain case. He
was somewhat fiustered over the at
tention that was being paid him. and
mumbled his words SO that the young
woman stenographer could not hear
them distinctly. He was told to speak
plainly and to turn toward the stenog-
rapher.
Speak to the stenographer," said
the prosecutor.
At that the young man arose and
with a deep bow to the lady said,

mobile ran over him.
Accompanied by his wife, her mother,
his son and chum of the boy, Mr..
Holmes started for Jamaica to call on
James Rogers, an undertaken. On
Hillside avenue in Jamaica he alighted
from the car to make some adjustment,
leaving the engine running. AS he
turned corner of the car in walking
around it he was brushed by another
automobile and hurled against his own
car in such manner that the gear was
cut. He rolled in front of his car and
the wheels went over him. Mrs. Holmes
headed the car into an electric pole be-
fore it gained great Roadway. She was
not familiar with its workings and could
not have stopped it.

Association and was third vice-president
of the New York State Association of

Girl Runs Under Auto and is
Killed

Excused early from the Houston
street public school, Lizzie Canevari
hurried toward home. Her mother was
sick in the little back tenement home
on the third floor at No. 273 Hudson
street, New York, and her father, An
drew Canevari, would soon be home
from his work at carpenterng and he
would want his lunch. There was no
one who could get the lunch for him but
Lizzie, ten years old, who was acting as
the housekeeper
AS she was crossing Hudson street
near her home an eighth avenue surface
car blocked her path. She lodged
around the end of the car, but did not
see the automobile that the car hid.
There was a cry, the automobile gave
jounce, then stopped.
Chauffeur Walter Elsenbaum lifted
the crushed body from the pavement
and carried it to the nearest store. At
the same time Policeman COIN rang for
an ambulance and hurried to the store.
Elsenbaum pleaded with him to let him
take the child right away to the hospi-
tai in the automobile, but Cohn, realiz-
ing that she was too grievously hurt to
be handled, refused. DIR. Walsh of St.
Vincent's Hospital arrived in few
minutes and pronounced her dead.

A Grim Spectacle.

The farcical and fraudulent primaries
in New York reveal state of things
that must disgust all honest men in the
nation.
If Mr.. Taft called up State Chairman
Barnes in New York city Tuesday
night, and if he called up County Chair
man Koenig, and if he congratulated
Koenig, as the papers say he did. and
if Koenig gained lead in the primaries
for the administration delegates by dis
reputable work at the polls, then the
spectacle of the President of the United
States accepting crooked work, and
extending his congratulations on that,
is crime in the sight of heaven. If
this is so, as the New York papers say
it is, then no censure is great enough
to measure up to the wickedness of the
act
If the work was crooked, as the
papers state, and if the President of
the United States congratulated the
men who carried out that crooked work
as the papers say he did, then it is a
parallel case to the receiver of stolen
goods congratulating the thief. Boston

were injured in two automobile acct
dents here this afternoon, but although
both of the cars were materially dam
aged, no one was seriously hurt.

The above letter of Gov. McGovern
of Wisconsin, and which as we under
stand, also represents the position of
Senator LaFollette, is masterpiece of
courage and principle. Nor can we
see how it is possible to surrender the
principles involved.
Though written by Gov. McGovern,
it is understood that Senator LaFollette
fully Endorsed it, which hereafter must
very greatly rebound to the Senator's
prestige.
1t is a most peculiar case. Practi-
cally an obsolete committee, that is, a
committee, elected about four years
ago, representing a policy of the
past, is determined to organize a great
political party, as it now stands, against
itself, by votes which have no practical
weight whatever that is, the votes of
a large number of Southern States,
which never have cast a vote for the
Republican party, and will not at this
time, as against delegates chosen by
several hundred thousand majority

LAURlER BITTER IN HIS At
TACK ON TAFT.
Resents Idea That Reciprocity
Would Make Canada Adjunct
of u. s.

Ottawa, May 80. Sir Wilfrid Laurier
at great gathering of National Liberal
leaders at a banquet given by the Reform
Club of Montreal tonight reiterated his
belief in reciprocity and spoke bitterly of
President Taft. 1t was his first public
utterance in reply to Taft's allegation
that reciprocity would have made
Canada an adjunct of the United States.
Mr.. Taft in that letter only repeated
what had been said by the Canadian
jingoes, he said. "For my part wish
to say am surprised that a man of the
eminence of Mr.. Taft should borrow such
shallow rhetorics from the Canadian
jingoes."
1.-THE funny part is that this letter did
not convince my friend, Theodore
Roosevelt. He did not share the idea
that reciprocity would make Canada an
adjunct to the United States. Is not
Roosevelt as good an authority as
Taft?
"You have your choice, and take the
Roosevelt idea, which is more in accord
with the idea of commercial reciprocal
trade. Yet, in the face of all this, while
the negotiations were pending, Mr..
Taft, President of the great American
Republic, nursed in his heart of hearts
secret which he never communicated.
II have this to say of Mr.. Taft, that
he little knew the character of this
people. If he harbors in his mind or
; heart the thought that any such ar
rangement could make Canada an ad-
junct, have to tell him that Canada
will never be an adjunct, and l say to
Mr.. Taft that the consent of the Cana
dian people to become an adjunct can
not be obtained by all the profits ant
wealth of the United States.
"He declared that reciprocity woulc
transfer all our important business t.
Chicago and New York, with bank
credits and everything else. Mr.. Taft
needs to explain why it would transfer
Canadian bank accounts to the Amer
can side of the line. One thing Mr.. Taft
ought to know is that there is not {
single American bank doing business il

my reading of history shows tina
where two nations engage in profitable
interchange of trade they become NOR,

negotiating the arrangement and l be
lieve it was the sentiment of Mr.. Knox
"Mr. Taft candidly admits the argu
ments of the Canadian Tories and h
evidently thought that if the Canadian
Tories could use such appeals to tn
passion and prejudice of the Canadian
people it might also appeal to the pas
sion andprejudice of the American peopl
in favor of reciprocity, which only goe
to show the similar weak ness O.

WISCONSIN is
AGAINST ROOT
Governor Sends Barnes Refusal OF
Support-Says People Want
Progressive.

Madison, Wis, June a.-Governor
Francis McGovern of Wisconsin, chair
man of the Wisconsin delegation to
the Republican national convention,
in telegram today answering an ap-
peal by William Barnes, jr., OF New
York, refused the support Of Wisconsin
for Senator Elihu Root as temporary
chairman of the convention. Governor
McGovern in reply said Senator Root
represented political views and
methods that should not be sanctioned
at the Chicago convention and that
Roots selection would invite defeat
in November.
In telegram to the Governor Mr..
Barnes had sought the support OF the
26 Wisconsin delegates, all of whom
had been pledged to Senator La Fol-
lette's presidential candidacy. Mr..
Barnes declared the contest to be the
"most serious one which has afflicted
the Republican party and that the at
tempt to nominate Mr.. Roosevelt can
lead only to disaster" Governor
McGovern's telegram to Mr.. Barnes
was as follows:
"Senator Root represents political
views and methods that should not be
sanctioned at the Chicago convention
He is standpat statesman while the
rank and file of the Republican party
are progressive. The people have a
right to rule and their wishes concern
ing the organization OF the convention
and the adoption of platform are
now we'll known. To ignore this judg-
ment, recorded in almost every Re-
publican State from the Atlantic tc
the Pacific, by electing Senator Roo
or any other tory temporary chairman
will convict the party of insincerity
and invite defeat in November"
