II Of Navarro and Aragon. he was
born at Sos in Aragon. March 10. 1852.
During his early years he gave prom
ise of distinction, especially when he
tried to gain the throne, LEFT vacant
by the death of his cruel and .yranni-
cal brother, Carlos; this at first
caused great effort on his part for the
Catalons, over whom he was 10 -reigp.
rose in rebellion, but in 1856 he, with
his fathers help, quelled the :nsurrec-
ton, and was proclaimed king Of
Sicily.
At the time of this joint succession
many bitter feuds were raging in the
land robberies and outrages were
taking place in commerce and agricul-
ture, but in league, including all the
cities in which these ravages were be-
ing exercised, under the leadership Of
Isabella, principally, rule of aristo-
crazy was set aside. The inquisition
was also organized to fight against
heresy, and it soon put an end TO eX-
torting money from the poor by the
mobiles.
Another measure taken by Ferdi-
nan1 and Isabella, for the consolida-
tion Of their country, was the master
ship, they took upon themselves, Of
the three great military orders o.
knighthood, and the oppression of the
papal power, which up to this time
had been exercising all authority; it
was also through their efforts that
the revenue was increased nearly six
fold
The war with the Moors, which had
been postponed for a time, was again
resumed and through the Christians
untiring energy, the Mahommedans
were driven from Granada. and with
the signing of the edict of Granada,
the Jews were expelled.
Isabella reigned with firmness; she
possessed a clear intellect, resolute
energy. strong religious belief, and
unselfsh patriotism. Before her
reign the country had been place
of vice and degradation. but her un-
firing energy soon raised it to ambi-
ton. 1t was she who said to Colum-
bus, after he had met with failure,
in every other quarter will assume
the undertaking for my own crown of
CASTLE, and am ready to pawn my
jewels to defray the expenses of it,
if the funds in the treasury should be
found inadequate"
She died November "a, 1904, at Me-
dina del Campo, Ferdinand following
her on January %, 1916; His name is
associated with the most splendid
period of Spain, for he possessed mill
tary capacity, political skill and it
was almost entirely owing to him that
Spain gained a position at the head
of European powers.

NO. 3 WRECKED
At CUMBERLAND
Yard Engine While Shifting Side
swipes Fast Train as it En-
tered Yard This Morning.

Cumberland, Md, Oct 18.-Train
No. 8, the New York and St. Louis
express over the Baltimore and Ohio
was wrecked this morning at 4.4O as
it was coming into the Cumberland
yards The regular train which was
following the Wilson special was
running late and was going at about
40 miles an hour when yard engine
1870, which was shifting some cars,
came out on the main track as No. 3
came into the depot and sideswiped
the passenger train.
Engineer Adam Roby, of Cumber-
land, and Fireman Burt Sulzer. Of
Purgettsville, W. Va, of the yard
crew, jumped. Both were slightly
scalded. Engineer w e. Cook, of
Cumberland. and Fireman II, f. Hege-
man, of Baltimore, stuck to their
posts and were not injured.
The breaking of a coupling on the
front car next to the yard engine saw
ed the whole train from ploughing
into No. 8.
No passengers were hurt but all
were pretty badly shaken up. Both
engines were demolished
The cause of the sideswipe has not
yet been made public but it is prob
able that the yard crew mistook the
special, which was running ahead of
the regular train. for No, 3, and, for
getting that a second section was due,
pulled out on the main track in the
face of the oncoming express.

ernor. 1t is likely John c. Law
renee may exaggerate bit
when he says he can save a mil
lion year, by consolidating
commissions and pruning appro-
priations-at that the accom-
plishment is not impossible but
it is a pretty deliberate lie for
men like Albert Johnson of the
Washingtonian, Hays candidate
for congressman at large, and F.
A. Hazeltine. of the South Bend
Journal, Hay s appointee as uni
versity regent, to, in attacking
Lawrence, say the state has but
four commissions who spend not
to exceed $4O0, 600 year. Hazel
tine himself is a member of a
state board, absolutely appointed
and removed by and under con-
troll of Hay, which last year alone
spent more than $400, 600.
Auditor G.. w. Clausen has just
prepared some data showing all
of the state expenditures for the
year ending March 81, 1912. 1t
shows that governor Hay and his
direct appointees, men who are
absolutely under his control,
spent So, ,646, $40 in those twelve
months while the same report
of Clausen shows that the aggre-
gate expenditures of the state
officers named by the constitu-
ton, excluding governor and ex-
cluding courts, spend $162, 635.
Remember this: Every vouch-
er represented by this So, GAG, $40
expenditure was either signed
by Hay himself or by men whose
appointment was under Hays
control, who could be removed
by Hay any minute if his actions
did not meet the approval of the

get office, some because of Ian
honest belief in the principles of
one side or the other. And in
that latter class we believe can
be found the great bulk of the
republicans.
The abuse which the progress
sives have heaped upon Taft and
the regulars has embittered the
old guard and the. standbys of
the party, until they would
rather see the whole party beat
en- this time, in order to purge
the party of it's wreckers. So
say the regulars. And the in
suits which the regulars have
handed out to the progressives
have made these progressives
determined to stamp out the
regulars. So says Roosevelt.
While the Examiner loves a
good political fight, and hopes to
see the democratic party win by
putting up good men throughout
the tickets, we do not believe it
wise. for democrats to embroil
themselves in the republican
fight. 1t is not our fight. We
have enough of a fight all Of our
own. And we sincerely believe
that a man who tries to help
settle the republican fight this
year, by entering the republican
primaries, is not democrat.
The Examiner this week gives
a full report of the republican
convention, and next week will
give a detailed report of the
democratic convention which be-
gan Tuesday at Baltimore.
The Kettle Falls Tribune, in
deciding to stay with the Taft
ticket, takes a heavy wollop at
the Roosevelt people this week,
and says that they are COM
posed of the ones who are out
and want to get in". Since this
county went so strong for Roose-
velt, it may be that some of these
same Roosevelt people may turn
around and take a whack at the
Taft followers some bright day.
It is altogether likely, consid-
ering the fact that Hay spends
little time in Olympia and has
hardly a glimmer of exact know
ledge concerning the details of
the state expenditures, that the
governor does not know how
shamefully his "hired men" are
lying on his behalf in tfe press.
1t is because of that same crazy
desire to be in the limelight, to
travel about and show off, rather
than to stick on the job and give
it attention, that l do not be-
lieve Hay should be elected gov
