AGED NEGRO BURNED IN
RUINS OF OLD HOME

Gainesville, Oct. "a The old
Thomas w. Chestnut residence in the
Kanapaha community, about seven
miles southwest of Gainesville, was
burned Tuesday night, and the
charred body of Noah Harrison, an
aged colored man, was found in the
ruins. Just when the fire occurred
is not known, but the superstition is
that Harrison, who was employed to
look after the property, built fire
in one of the fireplaces before he re-
tired, AMI that the structure became
ignited from spark This resi-
dence was one of the landmarks of
this section. 1t was constructed by
the late Thomas w. Chestnut in
1857, and he resided in it with his
family for forty-tive years, or until
his death in 1901, after which the
family moved to Gainesville. The
structure was partially insured, but
a quantity of furniture stored in the
house is total loss.

A Political Era.

One significance of the Mulhall eX-
posnres is to put further historic
clamp upon o period Of American
politics which, it may be hoped, is
now closing. The main issue in
which the manufacturers associa-
ton. as represented by Col. Mulhall
is shown to have been actively inter
cstcd was that OF labor legislation.
Second to this. or subsequent 10 it.
was tho associations interest in the
tariff, which was brought to bear in
euppOrt of commission in the APP
parent hope that its creation would
delay tariff changes. Incidentally
this disclosure cannot fail to be a
handicap upon the efforts of those
who sincerely believe in a tariff
commission of one sort or another.
The increasing likelihood is that in
stead OF the establishment of a sep
arate commission, such work as it
might perform will be done, if at all,
by the department of commerce.
While the interest of the manu-
facturers' association in the tariff
is made by the sequence of events 10
appear secondary to its interest in
labor legislation, the whole affair is
none the less a reminder of the UNI
fortunate extent to which the Ameri-
can high protective system, under
the domination of the republican
party following the civil war newt
ably developed a close and too often
secret relation between business and
politics to which manifold evils may
he traced. Because there were great
business advantages or favors to be
gained under the high protective sys
fem. it was primarily as matter of
business and not Of public service
that the interest of many able men
was enlisted in politics. The repre-
sentative figure Of that era was
Mark Hanna.
The members OF the manufactur
crs' association had no less right 10
oppose labor legislation by proper
methods than Gompers and his fol-
lowers had to urge it, But the evil

MUST BE DISAPPOINTING

Tie absolute quietudn prevailing in Mexico, following the arrival of Gov. John Lind, personal representative of President Wilson, in the city of Mex ico, must be very disappointing to the Jingoes lowering around Washington trying to stir up feeling in congress favorable to intervention by this ccun- try. Now the president Is intimating that it would be well for the lobby investigating committee to insert probe and make an attempt to disco7- CT who and what is behind the effort to make sentiment which would favor war or intervention, and both are synonymous terms as far as describing the condition which would be en- countered should United States troops cross the Mexican border.
 The full purpose of the mission of Gov. Lind has not yet been given out by the administration and may not be for several days yet, but President Wilson and Secretary Bryan seem to be well pleased with the progress be- ing made and minimizing that 1t Is better than had been expected.
 It Is not unlikely that the policy Of President Wilson is receiving approval from some of the European powers and that this feature is causing delay h more definite statements concerning the program than has been given out
 It is believed in Washington now that there is little or no danger of any more serious complications in the. Mexico situation than have already been met and surmounted
