Washington, ID G, March 81
Senator Robert Love Taylor died
this morning at $3.50 at the Proyi.
dence Hospital.
From a state Of semi-coma which
prevailed all day yesterday he
sank into unconsciousness shortly
after / o'clock this morning, and
was unconscious until he died.
At 2 o'clock a. m. his physician,
DR.. Harrison Crook, realized the
senator was dying, and summoned
Mrs. Taylor and David Taylor,
his son, to the hospital. Senator
Luke Lea arrived at 3 o'clock, and
with David Taylor left at day
break, not thinking that the end
was so near. At the bedside when
he died were Mrs. Taylor and DIR.

Taylor had not been in pain

fine after he was operated ON for

vile, where the funeral will take
place Wednesday after noon.
Senator Taylor's illness dates
back three months. Throughout
that time he had been in bad
health. His complexion was bad
and he lacked energy, and the hui
NOR that has always given such IA
delightful flavor to his friendships
was noticeable by the rarity of its
appearance. Ever since the first
of the year the senator's old
friends had been shaking their
heads and muttering, 81 am afraid
we are goin to lose Our Bob. "
But neither the senator nor his
friends realized the seriousness OF
the illness which was then in its
incipient stage. He was suffering
from gallstones.

The Americanism OF the Americans
is never so much to the fore as on
July the Fourth. Englishmen would
feel sort of confidence about mount
ing the stump year after year and
chanting through megaphone their
greatness, their prosperity, and the
development of their commerce and
industries.
But the Americans have a turn for
such displays that is altogether denied
to us. Indeed, there are no days
when an Englishman In America feels
himself to be more certainly among
the alien people than on Thanksgiving
day and the Fourth of July. The
Americans have something in their
blood that gives them the emotional
ism, the right touch of fervor, the I'M
consciousness and the melodramatic
Isensibilities necessary to proper
carrying out of these celebrations.
And what instinct prompts educa-
ton has confirmed. Patriotism is
taught as a school subject all over
America, and an American boy of IL
knows the words and airs of more ma
tional songs than an Englishman hears

A MASoN,s DUTY.

Masons owe patriotic duty to the
government and obedience to the
laws of the country in which they
live. No one has ever rightfully i'm
pugned the patriotism of our order, or
cast stigma or shame upon its en-
blems. Masonry has always been
allied with justice and right, and, not
withstanding belief among some to
the contrary, 1t gives no aid or com.
fort to him who wilfully violates the
laws of the land
Masonry is useful to all men; to
| the learned, because it affords them
the opportunity of exercising their
talents upon subjects eminently
worthy of their attention; to the illit
crate, because it offers them important
instruction to the young, because il
presents them with salutary precepts
1 and good examples, and accustom;
them to reflect on the proper mode q
living; to the man of the world, whom
| it furnishes with useful and noble rec
reation; to the traveller, whom it en-
abies to find friends and brothers il
countries where else he would be iso
Hated and solitary; to the worthy maj
in misfortune, to whom it gives as
sistance; to the afflicted, on whom i
,Ilavishes consolation; to the charitable
man, whom it enables to do NOR
good, by uniting with those who ar.
charitable like himself; and to al
who have souls capable of appreciat
ling its Importance. and of enioyinj
the charms of friendship founded OF
the same principles of religion, nor
lality and philanthropy"

states that if any portion or all OF the
100000 horsepower which it is expect
ed will be generated at the dam were
furnished free to manufacturing In
terests in Keokuk, they could not then
compete with Quincy, 3S miles down
the river and on the opposite bank, I'M
der the present advantage in rates
possessed by the Illinois town. This
is based on the assumption that pow
er in manufacturing plant repre-
sents on an average about 1 2-S cents
per 100 pounds of product, while the
advantage claimed for Quincy on first
class freight over Keokuk is cents
per hundred pounds. The conclusion.
of the commission upon this showing
appears to be that, though the Keo-
kuk dam is the largest dam in the
world, this barrier of cents is a
sight bigger.
The. whole matter has been hang
| ing fire SO long that memory fails to

been asked: If, as seems to be the
case. the state commission schedule

has had any influence in. bringing
about the present apparently anomal-
Gus position of the state, what conces-
fsions is the State Commission prepar-
ed to make for the sake of clearing
/ the site for new rate structure
which shall be consistent from the
ground up? Something like this has
been referred to as an ultimate neces-
sity in other cases which have had to
deal with rates between the rivers.

run with European undesfrableS may

knows the country and its people will
deny that the American schools are a
tremendous instrument of Americana

patriotism as zealOusly as you cat
teach writing and reading, when You
cultivate and Americans do cult
vate-e every boys and girls capacity
for self expression, for debate, for
public recitation and speaking; when
you place the national flag before
their eyes as soon as they can see.
and In their hands as soon as they can
walk; when you assiduously celebrate
every anniversary of every great ma
tional event-Independenc day,
Washington's birthday, Thanksgiving
day. and so onyou naturally create
an atmosphere in which patriotism IS
liable to run to bombast.
Rudyard Kipling, few years ago,
stumbled upon Fourth of July cele-
bration in the Yosemite valley. What
amused me-" he wrote, was the calm
with which these folks gathered to-
gether and commenced to belaud their
noble selves. their country and their
institutions, and everything else that
was theirs. The language was to these
bewildered ears wild advertisement,
gas, bunkum, blow, anything yoii
please beyond the bounds of common
sense. An archangel, selling town
lots on the CLASSY sea, would have
blushed to the tips of his wings to
describe his property in similar
terms" But to this aspect of the
matter Americans are not only indif-

/ it exists. Their environment, their
history and that something in the
blood combine to make their patriot
ism, above all things, vocal and exu-
