Washington, Jan. 8.-The small

Tom Thumb, now 70 years old +,

Mrs. Thumb first visited the white

with her husband, Gen. Tom
Thumb, and President and Mrs.
Lincoln gave reception for them.
She had been to see every president
since.
1 remember Lincoln well," said
Mrs. Thumb, he was SO glad to
see us. He had a kind, sweet face,
and do not see how any; one could
kill him.
l was disappointed when visit
ed President Roosevelt in the white
house to find they had changed the
east room, made historic during the
war, and had taken out the old
fashioned furniture, which remind
ed one of those two noblest
presidents, Lincoln and Grant.
There is not much in the east room
now but the twenty thousand dollar
piano.
President Taft is genial presi-
dent, and we have had another such

insisted, however, and prepared and
signed the confession in the pres
ence OF the lawyers withouta tremor.
As he handed the document to his
counsel, he exclaimed: Thank God ;.
| have eascd my conscience Of that
load"
A second copy of the confession
was drawn up and signed by Richie
son yesterday, and this copy, dated
January s, was turned over to Dis
trict Attorney Pelletier late yester-
day. A conference followed, but
whether it had any gearing upon
what is in store for Richeson was
no. made known.
District Attorney Pelletier point
ed out today that the confession is
not plea of guilty to the indict-
ment, although it is available as
evidence in a trial, and to a Jury it
would mean only conviction.
SUSPECT COMPOSITION.
AS a first degree verdict is the
worst outcome that the defense could
expect, astute lawyers remarked to-
night that counsel would rarely per-
NIT a confession to go forth with
out hope of something less than the
death penalty, and it is the general
opinion that some understanding
must have preceded the giving out
of the. document.
One possibility suggested is plea
OF insanity by reason of, which
Richeson may be sent to an asylum.
Still another course of procedure
may be the calling Of the jury and
the reading of the confession which
would be followed by formal verdict
of'guilty in the first degree. After
that a decree with mercy might be
issued.
Miss Linnel was found dying in
bath room in the Young Women's
Christian association building, where
she lodged. At first it was believed
she had taken poison, but a day or
two later it became generally known
that she had taken cyanide of potas-
sium in the belief that it would
remedy her embarrassing physical
condition.
WENT TO FINANCEE's ) HOME.
On the day following Miss Lin
nell's death, Richeson went to the
home of Moses Grant Edmands,
father OF Miss Violet Edmands. to
whom Richeson was to have been
married October 81 last.
1t was reported to the police that
the young pastor had been engaged
to Miss, Linnell. It was also a Do.
lice theory that the minister. was the
person to whom Linnell's physical
condition would cause the greatest
worry:
On the night of October IA Will
liam Han, a. druggist at Newton
Center, reported to the police that a
few days before the death of Miss
Linneli, Richeson had purchased
cyanide Of potassium from him. The
next day Richeson was arrested at
the Edmands home in Brookline.
The wedding invitations were re-
called.
A special grand jury on October
81 returned an indictment against
Richeson, who pleaded not guilty.
His trial was fixed for January Is.
Later he resigned his pastorate.
Richeson is about 35 years old,
and was born at Rose Hill, Va.

Folk and the Trusts.

Former Governor Folk in a'speech
at Kirksville last week expressed
the opinion that one Standard Oil
magnate in convict's stripes would
inspire more respect for the law
among corporation men than all
the fines ever assessed, and pleaded
for the enforcement of the criminal
clause in the Sherman antitrust
law.
In this Connection, he showed by
comparisons how hard it would be
for men to amass millions simply
working and saving. He said that
if Adam had started out at a sala-
ry of $175 a day and saved all of it
from the day of his creation esti-
mated at 5000 years ago he would
not have as much money as An
drew Carnegie has today. Lancas-

The People Rule.

The decision of the Supreme
Court of the United Sta,es in the
initiative and referendum case. ap-
peaied from Oregon, sustains the
laws of that State under which the
people rule.
That is to say, it upholds the the
ory of the representatives of the
Commonwealth, ably assisted by
our own Atty. Gen. Major and 9TH
ers, that the question involved is
political and not judicial 1t is a
! matter for the Leople to decide and
the courts have nothing to do
with it.
The Congress of the United States
may declare, if it will that direct
legislation in Oregon deprives that
State OF republican form of gov
ernment, but the court refuses to
do so. How could it, when in both
houses of Congress members from
Oregon, elected under these laws,
have been accepted for years?
One of the safeguards of the Su-
preme Court of the United States
from the first has been its refusal
on most occasions to decide pure
ly political questions. If it had
made a practice of that sort of
thing the mischief that would have
resulted would have been incal-
culable.
Alarmists and hairsplitters may
indulge in ghost dances to their
hearts contents on the perils of di-
rect legislation, the initiative the
referendum and the recall, and they
may, if they pleasa, argue that rep
resentative government is the only
true form of republican government
but they will have their labor for
their pains.
The problem in this Republic. as
in every other, is to make sare of
the rule of the people if that end
cannot be gained effectively under
one system it can by another, and
no free Congress will ever check the
movement.

honor of the memory of Saint Val

the good old Saint has happier
/ party of people assembled to do him
honor than that which met at the
beautiful home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Helman Levy, on Feb. ID, 1912.
AS those fortunate enough to
have invitations approached the
home they could but pause to ad-
mire and enjoy the beauty of the
illuminations. a thousand candles.
blending their clear white light with
the reflection of the delicate shades
around them, seemed to gleam from
every window bidding welcome to
the approaching guest.
Mrs. Levy, assisted by her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Dimmitt, and other mem
bers cf the Club, received the visit
Ors and made them feel at ease.
The house was decorated in red
and white and hearts and cupids
were everywhere, the artistic deco
rations combined with the elegantly
gowned and beautiful ladies pre-
sented a scene of unsurpassed lovli-
ness.
High five was played and after a
number of closely contested and in
terestine games dainty refreshments
were served by the Club members.
Then came the novel feature of
the evening, the valentines. From
large heart-shaped box upon which
cupid had taken his stand the visit
ors were handed Valentines many
'of which were original and beauti-
full and for once we saw ourselves
as others see US"
1t was beautiful party, in fact
it is said to have been the most
beautiful ever given in the city.

No boy, no girl, can ever come
to be utterly bad who remembers
only love and tenderness and sweet
ness as associated with father and
mother in the old time home. Give
them manly and womanly example
give them training, give them the
inspiration of devoted lives, give
them these higher deeper things.
Do not care so much as to whether
you are accumulating money. so
that you can leave them fortune.
We really believe that the chances
are against that being a blessing
for a boy. But leave them an &C
cumulated fortunes of memories
and inspirations and examples and
hopes, so that they are rich in
brain and heart and soul. = LaBelle
