"First. the schooner Martha" the

is on the outside reef at Poonga-Poon-

and ready to go to pieces with the first

Sheldon experienced n sudden thrill.
The Martha, a finer schooner than
the Malakula and, for that matter. the
finest In the Solomons-she was just
the thing for recruits. and she was
right on the spot. Then he realized
that for such n craft to sell at auction

"Weren't they rather quick in selling

county lave named a ticket. 1t is in
cumbenl upon every Democrat to
stand behind the men nominated.
The time to discuss and decide on
their merits or shortcomings is past.
and there is now no reason why ev-
cry Democrat in the county should
not feel perfectly satisfied with the
outcome and get to work to help
elect the ticket by an old time Demo-
cratic majority.
The first work is to hustle around
and see that the vote Is registered
The man who cares not Who is elect
ed, who cares not what political
party Is In power, who cares not
how the affairs OF the State and
county are administered Is the man
who cares not for himself. his family
nor his neighbors.
The important thing Il to secure a
victory for the Democratic party.
This can only be done b. recollecting
that our political differences we're of
family character and that blood
is thicker than water"
So stop knocking and kicking and
get together. and after the battle we
shall be able to say We have met
the enemy, and they are ours once
more"

DRJ. W. HERRING.

As Is most always the case the death
Of DR.. Joshua w. Herring came as u
shock to all. in spite OF the fact that
II was known for some time that little
hope could be held out for his reeoy-
cry. Every day when his serious con-
dition became known 1t Wa hoped
that turning point would Be reached
and enable him to start On the road
to recovery. but for over a week scar
cely any Improvement waa noted and
finally the end came Tuesday after
noon
The whole community Il sincerely
grieyed 10 learn OF Dr. Herings death,
and mourna the loss of one Of our best
Christian men and one Of our most
useful citizens. for his life has been
an unusually successful and veil
spent one.
Not only Westminster, but the entire
State suffers a loss in Or. Hering's
death. In early life he stood In the
front rank Of physicians IN this coun-
ty and vas frequently called 10 a dis
lance In consultation. His financial
ability led TO his election ~ cashier
OF the Union National Bank over As
years ago. which position he held I'M
til his death. During the past eighteen
years DR.. Herring had been one Of the
prominent men In the public affairs OF
the State. being elected first a. State
Senator then serving four terms as
Comptroller. and finally being ap-
pointed b. Governor Crothera Us a
member of the Public Service Com
mission. His political life vas al
ways without reproach.
DR.. Herring was fluent speaker
and an easy writer, always able to
express his thoughts clearly ana for
chilly. For a number of years he had
been contributing editor Of The Ad-
yocate.
Without doubt DIR. Hering's chief
interest IN life was conferred in mat
tiers of religion. In early manhood he
united with the Methodist Protestant
Church, and left nothing nndone TO
promote It's usefulness and prosperity.
He was one of the national leaders in
the church, being twice elected presi-
dent Of the General Conference.-The
only layman who has ever held that
position. He was superintendent OF
the local Sunday school for % years
and was president of the board OF
trustees Of Western Maryland College
at the time of his death--alWays TAX
ing the greatest interest In matters OF
education.
The community is better for DR.

an incentive to every youth Who knew
him.

TRENTON, N. J.. March Slater
being bloodhound in Indianapolis two
days, General c. Edward Murray re-
turned home last evening.
General Murray had two fortunate
escapes from injury and possibly
death, as fifteen minutes after the
train on which he was a passenger
had arrived in Indianapolis a bridge
over which the train had passed just
outside the city was swept away by
the mad rush Of water which 1t had
spanned.
Coming into Buffalo yesterday,
General Murray was just half an
hour behind the train which jumped
the tracks at Yosts, N. Y, the acct
dent resulting in the death or injury
of a score of passengers. 1t was
necessary for the train on which the
general was riding to make a detour
around the scene of the accident
The train on which General Murray
arrived in Indianapolis was the last
one to get into the city for two days,
and the train on which he departed
from the city was the first to leave
there is two days
On account of the tie-up of the rail
roads, General Murray was forced to
abandon his trip to st. Louis and

than any other living American, not
excepting Theodore Roosevelt One of
the friends of 1.-THE Commoner" said
during the 1908 campaign that includ-
ing his trip around the world in 1905,
he had travelled, since his first defeat
for the presidency, more than 100000
miles. had spoken in public 5000 times
tc total of not less than 5000, 900
auditors, in speeches aggregating
1.500 hours duration.
Mr.. Bryan's staesmanship has
broadened with the years. He made
a tour of the world in 1906, and was
received with distinguished consider
alton in Japan, China, Russia, con-
tinental Europe and Great Britain.
He had an audience with King Ed
ward of England, and the lord chan
cellor praised him before the inter-
parliamentary conference. That dis
tinguished assemblage cheered his
speech and adopted his international
peace resolution.
The Bryan family lives at Fair

insists shall be regarded as farm.
Mrs. Bryan has been the Commoner's
constant companion and helper, and

three children-Ruth, William Jen-

A great statesman once remarked
that he would rather be right than

and possible errors of judgment, there
are many American citizens of today
who would rather be Bryan than
either.

DIR. WEEKS, MONITOR
HERO, WILL RETIRE
Surgeon compented by Lincoln for His Bravery in Saving
Boats Crew of the Yankee Cheese Box at the Sacrifice
of His Arm to Sell House and Enter Soldiers Home.

Some of the sailors climbed up the
rope TO safety and others fell off into
the sea and were lost DR.. Weeks
could not climb with his disabled arm
and he gave himself up for lost. How
ever those on deck threw a slip
moose, which encircled his head, and
making IT fast round his body, Dr.
Weeks found himself in a semi-con-
scious condition being hoisted to
safety. Since then his injured arm
has been useless.
The Civil War did not provide all
the doctors adventure, however. Be-
fore the war he spent three years in
the government service, fighting In
dams in what was then known as the
Great Northwest" Here again his
singular luck saved his life. He and
another man in the service, a black
smith, We're the only survivors of a
massacre by the Sioux Indians, in
which some 400 were killed. He at
tributes his life to having previously
befriended small Indian girl, the
daughter of Chippewa chief. The
chief helped him to place of safety,
a densely wooded bog, where for a
week he lived in the tree-tops. After
that he returned East and Joined the
Union army from New York.
DIR. Weeks is the only living officer
of the Monitor and the only surviv-
ing wounded member of the crew,
and is a member Of several organi-
cations and societies. He is vice
president of the Gotham Club of New
York.
