TO YOUR POSTS, GENTLEMEN
Democrats Must Unite and Work
Hard to Restore Good Govern
ment to Country.

1t is a mistake for Democrats to act
upon the theory that they have a cinch
on the presidency. Every day MT.
Taft Is growing stronger In the esti-
nation Of both his party and the coun-
try. He is ~profting directly from ex-
perience which has contributed wis
dom and from clamor which affords
contrast. Mr.. Roosevelt Is commonly
regarded as the smartest politician Of
his age, and perhaps he is-the smart
est. But is he the greatest, or ven
great, at his own pastime? Consider
the politics he is playing now. Is 1t
big politics? Is it even clever? He
makes two issues with the president
-one with respect to the peace trea-
ties, the other on the trust problem.
MI. Taft personifes a worldwide hope
of progressive civilization; Mr.. Roose-
welt stands for perpetuation of bar.
barrie methods. Mr.. Taft insists upon
impartial enforcement of law; Mr..
Roosevelt would have the law At the
case, invariably to his own political
advantage. Can any one really be-
lieve that the sober sense of the
American people will not ultimately
uphold the president upon these prop
ositions, the only two marked by Mr..
Roosevelt for sharp differentiation?
The thought is incredible.
Is 1t not possible that Mr.. Roose-
velt's political acumen has been over
estimated by both himself and others?
He has been notably successful
truly, but only when in power. Given
all the weapons of authority and utter
lack of scruple In using them, he has
proven himself %invincible. Witness
his forcing Of money out of corpora
lions, his terrifying Of individuals, his
robbery Of Panama. But as a fighter
from outside the breastworks he has
won little renown.-Harper's Weekly.

the unhappy lot of the royalists, or
Kings Cavaliers; and rather than
bow to n whom they looked upon as
a usurper, many of the Washingtons
fed to foreign lands. John and Law
renee, brothers, came to Virginia, the
former being the grandfather of
George Washington, the first presi-
dent Of the United States.
Among the distinguished Washing
tons who escaped persecution by flight
from England was one whose identity
genealogists long sought vainly to
v~erify-the brother of General George
Washington's great grandfather. This
Washington's name was James, and
he fled to Rotterdam, Holland, where
in 1850 he welded Clara Wander Ian
en-, daughter of the mayor of the port.
From this union was derived the pres
ent Dutch and German Washingtons
a sturdy folk who adapted themselves
to these governments under which
they have held and are at present
holding official positions of high sta
ton. One of these German Washing
tons offered his services In a military
capacity to the United States consul
at Frankfort-on-Main in 1862. He ex.
pressed himself as anxious to enlist
in the Union army, and presented the
consul with a verified genealogical
chart prepared from the records of
the Dutch government. This gentle
mar was Baron de Washington. The
statement has been certified by Will
lam w. Murphy, consul at that point,
and attested by the Honorable Fred
erick Kapp, of Rev York City, who
was visiting in Germany and wrote a
letter in which the circumstances
were fully described.
The original correspondence and
data in my possession relating to the
Dutch and German Washingtons prove
the baron to have been a direct lineal

cal Investigations, and in the College
OF Heralds can be seen a score or

times in his eager search after family

heraldic ancestors, and this family
estimate is well expressed in the fire.

Many such instances may be noted

ice; the fireplace and the mirrors; the
picture frames and his library walls;
his bookplate and his saddle, and
practically everything upon which a
family signature or shield might be
engraved, painted or printed.
The illness of Sir Isaac Heard. the
head Of the English department Of

OBJECT LESSON HERE
WHEREIN HAS TARIFF BENEFIT
ED STEEL TRUST WoRkMEN?
Most Highly Protected Of Industries
Notorious for Low Wages Paid
and Long Hours of Most
Arduous Toll.

It almost seems as though the last
thing Mr.. Gary should wish to discuss
In public would be the labor situation
at the various plants of the Steel
trust.
He points out the fact that labor in
this great enterprise is better paid
than it was some years ago and that
the corporation has been forced by
agitation and humanity to introduce
some reforms and benevolences, but
he ignores things that are more i'm
portant perhaps.
For instance, the Steel trust has
suppressed the labor unions. The
greater part of its labor is imported
and wretchedly paid. In many re-
spects the relations of employer and
employe are feudal. A steel plant is
almost a barony, even officers of the
law finding it difficult at times to en-
ter.
Furthermore, If there is anything in
the theory that extortionate tariffs
are laid for the benefit Of labor the
iron and steel workers who are en-
gagged in one of the most highly pro-
tected Of industries should be among
the best instead of among the worst
paid toilers in the world.
If we turn to the employers side OF
the enterprise we find these facts:
When the trust was formed In 1901 1t
was capitalized at $1,100,0 00, 000, a
sum more than twice as large as the
entire capital of the whole industry
as reported in the census of 1900 one
year before. The capital" of the
Steel trust is now about 81, 800, 000, 900,
more than one-half Of it originally wa
ter.
How 1t was possible to market this
quantity of securities may be ex-
planned in part by the statement Of
Mr.. Carnegie before the ways and
means committee in 1909 that the
trust made a clear profit of SIS on
every ton of it's product.
This Is what the tariff has done and
Is doing for the employer. What 1t
is doing for the workingman in whose
interest 1t is said to be maintained Is
shown by MI. Gary's labored attempt
to prove that the workers in iron and
steel are no worse off than any other
laborers.
Last year the Steel trust did a gross
business of $703, 961,424. It's net
profits were Sal, O54,754 It's net
profits since its organization in 1901
have been $726, 954,174. In that pc
Rod it paid in dividends $685. 26, 1886,
while 1t has appropriated from its
surplus for extensions and invest
ments $202, S27, 1854.
We have here all the evidences Of
privilege capitalized to the limit and
paying handsomely, with a labor SIT
uation that is so wretched In the main
as toNcompel excuse and apology.
The hundreds of millions Of water
in the Steel trusts securities repre-
sent not property but tariff. The low
wages and long hours of most Of the
Steel trusts employees represent
other broken promise of the party Of
protection and plunder.-St. Louis
Republic.

of his presidency, and the package

The arms enclosed in your letter

hundred years the emblem of sport.
The pastime of hawking was engaged
in only by the wealthy and the Wash
ingtons were noted for their love of
hunting and sporting. Benson ].
Losing lent some color to the fore
going conclusion when he wrote Of
the English Washingtons:
For more than two hundred years
the De Wessyngtons, or Washingtons,
were conspiring after their kind (rob-
Der knights) fighting, hawking, ca
rousing and gaming"
This grant of the raven was in 1900,
at about the same time that hawking
j.
was at Its height as q sport, for at
about the same period we find that
in Spain the son of Columbus atempt-
ed to prove that his father was Of
aristocratic and also Of heraldic fam
lily In that "he vas of a people who
kept their own hawks" This alone,
in those days, stamped the man as a
f%alconer, as only people of high social
standing were permitted by license to
engage in that enjoyment; hence a
raven, a falcon, a crow or a hawk on
the shield or crest indicated promi-
nence. This sporty and hunting dis
position of the Washingtons was dis
tinctly manifested in the Washingtons
of Virginia, of which our first presi-
dent also gave liberal expression.
There are five distinct Washington
shields, but in the heraldic records
they are pronounced Of the same
origiA, as follows:
A silver (argent) shield upon which
are two red (gules) bars; in the top
(chief) three red mullets (spurs of
knights boots).

Democracy and RepubIIoanism

0Sy NV bSPubtiSd'itStUs
To maintain the extortionate tariff
in Its integrity 1t may become neces-
sary for Mr.. Hitchcock's party to
purchase the railroads as well as the
telegraphs, and when that shall have
been done it will be only a short step
to the acquisition by government Of
"all the means Of production and dis
tribution."
Ingratitude is met with at every
turn in politics, but the most cruel
manifestation Of it which the history
of this country affords is the determi-
nation Of u political socialists to
maintain a party separate from and
seemingly antagonistic to the Repub-
licans. With its tariff necessities that
great organization is doing more for
socialism than socialism can ever
hope to do for itself.
Democracy regulates in the public
interest. Republicanism purchases.
and squanders in behalf of private
interests. Socialism co~nfiscates,
blights and revolutionizes. Shall W
retrace our steps to Democracy or
10Y on with Republicanism to So
cialism?

Washineton's Crested Carriage.

of England. William of Normandy
was the victor, and King Harold, with
tens of thousands of his English, was
among the slain. The victorious
French marched to London, and on
Christmas day they proclaimed their
dashing leader William I, Conqueror
and King Of England"
King William, like all his French
knights, loved the French ideals of
government, church and home, and in
fused into the old English national
and domestic life all the customs of
his native land. Even the English
language, which William never could
learn, was gradually set aside, and
among the loyal French knights who
assisted the Conqueror in enforcing
his reforms was the distant kin of
George Washington. This early an
cestor of our first president was num-
hered among the intimates of the
King, and was one of the leaders of
the French Conquest. In the past,
American historians, possibly because
of the strong influence upon literature
exercised by England, placed the
Washington ancestry as beginning in
that country; but careful investigation
bears out the statement that the
Washingtons were of definite and d.
rect French origin. They were French
both in sentiment and training, and
the original name was De Hertburn.
Naturally the question arises, why
was the nance changed, and what in
duced these faithful French subjects
of William of Normandy to assume an
English cognomen? The explanation
Is simple enough. William the Con
queror was a careful and far-seeing
man. He realized that his ~usurpation
of the English throne was a very rad
Acal departure In a governmental ex-
pertinent, to say the least; and he was
anxious to mould the people, whom
ne had made his vassals by dint Of
the strong hand, into as close dupli-
Gates of the French as possible. In
other words, he strove to implant the
French ideals into the English char
acter as deeply as circumstances per-
mitted. The complicated heraldic rec
ords found in the pages Of the famous
tDoomsday Book" is undoubtedly the
best evidence that the King wished

of this honor, and possibly
because he deemed that suf-
f1cient respect had not been
shown to one Of such noted
ancestry, he did not emf
crate to the United States.
However, before the inter-
view was closed, he deposit,
ed with the American consul
a certified genealogical chart
On which the following ap-
pears:
Baron de Washington Is
a direct descendant of the
ancient and honorable Wash
ington family of England, the
earliest emigrant to Holland
being James Washington,
one of the four brothers Of
Stuart sympathizers
(Charles y. James came to
Holland in 1850, his two
brothers emigrated to Vir-
ginia, and the third brother
remained In England, where
he was serving as a divine"
This remarkable bit Of
genealogical history gives the
earliest and most authentic
record of the Dutch and Ger
man Washingtons, of which
there are many and of whom
the church records abound in
entries of marriages, births
and deaths. Further investi-
cation brings to light the
fact that this earliest Dutch
emigrant, James, was mar
ried In the English church
of Rotterdam, all of which
tends to corroborate that he
was Of English training.
Baron de Washington was
born in 1888, and his brother
Max married the Duchess Of
Oldenburg and in this way

ed the statement as cor
rect. The English poet
was misled by his fervid
fancy, for the Heralds'
College at London, the
highest authority on
British heraldry, writes
as follows: "a Washing
ton shield with stars and
stripes (pales) has never
been Of record" 1t
is altogether probable
that Topper, as well
as others, was deceived
by the shape of the
"mullets." These spurs,
as worn by the knights
of old, were round in
