WESTBURY. L. l., March 13.-William
Fitting, nineteen-year-old lad, lost both
of his legs for second time yesterday.
The first time was four years ago, when
he fell under a Long Island railway train
near the station at Glen Head. On ar
tificial limbs he was standing at the sta
ton here yesterday. when he saw wom-
an crossing the tracks in front of an ex-
press train.
Recalling the accident which had be-
fallen him, he shouted warning to the
woman, but she did not heed and young
Fitting stumped his way to the tracks
and dragged her from danger. only to fall
himself across the rails.
Other persons on the platform saw the
lad run over by the train, and when it
came to stop they rushed to him, ex-
pecting to find him fatally hurt. He was
picked up leglsss. but not in the least
wounded. as the locomotive wheels had
only broken Off his wooden legs.

TAFT NO SQUEALER.

The bigness of the man is reflected
in President Taft's speech to the
Washington newspaper correspond
ents. 81 am not a squealer or a
kicker" He has proved that, as every
unprecedented critic must admit. More
over he is too big man to allow
defeat for office with whatever OF per-
sonal disappointment it involves make
him a soured scold. Reviewing brief
ly his official record of twenty-four
years the president said:
'NOw, gentlemen, after that record,
still in health, do you suppose l re-
greet anything; that | have occasion
for kicking and squealing What kind
of man would be if | did. with the
measure all on my side? Now, l am
looking to see if | can't repay the
country and fortune for the good
things given me, and if | can't work
in the cause of good government"
How refreshing from a man who
has endured the calumny that he has,
especially at a time when the coun-
try has had SO much squealing and
kicking from other sources. The
American citizen is sportsman enough
to admire a good loser He must,
therefore, admire William Howard

the people to prefer another in his
place. who goes into private life smil-

record since he entered the senate
has not been one of accomplishment,
and he has little to his credit in the
way of effective legislation. He was
out of harmony with his party and the
republican administration during the

in position to accomplish anything.
He is not the man to undertake to
bring the factions of the party togeth-

must be done under the leadership of

EARLY EASTER DATE.
Will Not Again Occur on March 23rd
Until in the Next Century or
100 Years From Now.

The first Sunday after the first full
moon, after the Vernal Equinox, is al
ways Easter day The vernal equinox
coming on March 21st, each year,
makes the earliest date of Easter on
March 22d. This year the date is on
March 23d. The last time the date
was March 22d was in the year 1918,
or IS years ago. This last time the
date occurred on March % was in
1856, or 81 years ago. Concerning
this festal day the Globe Democrat
says:
"Whatever the hardships on style
purveyors and Easter lily dealers,
there remains the memorable fact that
Easter is damned right up against
winter in that blustery rough-and-
tumble month of March. There it
stands as cold record on the calendar,
and you can't blame the weather man
for it this time, because he didn't set
the day down in that choice mixture
of weather he dishes up in the merry
month of March. 1t was some goodly
church fathers way back in the days
when Easter bonnets and fashion par
AIDES were unknown who played the
trick on the present recalitrant gener-
alton And it can't be blamed on the
churchman, it must be blamed on the
moon This overworked satellite of
ours bears the responsibility for fixing
the date of Easter. To be sure, Easter
has always enjoyed the privilege of
roaming more or less at random over
the calendar, but, nevertheless, it
obeys one of the Oldest laws man ever
devised. This is at the first Sunday
after the first full moon following the
vernal equinox shall be Easter. TO put
it another way, Easter comes on the
first Sunday after the full moon after
March 21st AS a movable feast day, it
has a wide range for it's observance,
but it must fall between March 22d
and April 25th, inclusive. Usually you
may depend upon it to work out so
that Easter comes where it properly
belongs, but this year it is case of
the vernal equinox, full moon and Sun
day following so close upon each 9th
er's heels that the holiday is at hand
before anybody, much less the wealth
err, is really ready for it.
eff you were to take the fourth of
July and present it to 90,O00,OOO or so
citizens of this land in mid-June, or if
you were to grant them Christmas
and all that goes with it early in De-
cember, the upheaval would be no
greater than it will when Easter
makes it's untimely appearance in the
stormy, cold, cherries and altogether
unliked and disagreeable month of
March-the month of the great biz
zard of 'SS and other disagreeable
things. Back in 1851 the festival
came on the first possible day, March
22d, and again in 1918. In the last 125
years it has made it's appearance on
March 23d only three times, once in
1888, again in 1854 and again in 1856.
Not until after the year 1000 will it
again crowd SO closely upon the heels
of winter. There may be some conso-
lation in looking forward to the year
1916, when the date will be just one
month later, April odd"

CIeopatra Now in Paris.

Cleopatra's last resting place is said
to be the garden of the national IL
brary. Rue Vivenne, Paris. Her sar-
cophagus was stolen, the story runs,
by a savant, and came into the library
possession where it was preserved in
the medal room until 1870. In that
year of trouble it was hidden, with
many other objects of value, in the
library cellars. When the troublous
days were over and the mummy was
once more brought from the depths it
was found that the sojourn had been
detrimental to the once beautiful
body. and that a rapid burial was alb
solutely necessary. Without any fun
eral march or Grafton the remains
were therefore buried in the garden of
the library.-Plain Talk.

MISCONCEIVES HIS DUTY,

One would imagine from reading
the Washington dispatches that Pres
ident Wilson is both the executive
and legislative part of the government.
1t is said that he intends to take a
hand iii the legislation which is to be
enacted at the coming special session
of congress. 1t is even said that he
intends to spend large portion OF
his time at the capital, where he will
be in close touch with both the house
and the senate in all matters pertain
ing to legislation.
If Mr. Wilson entertains any such
thought as is represented then he GER
tainly misconceives his duty. Under
the constitution there are three great
departments of government, the legis-
lative, the judicial and the executive
The duty of the legislative is to en-
act laws, the duty of the judicial is
to interpret the laws and the duty of
the executive is to execute the laws
1t is the thought of the constitution
that each department is to be indie
pendent of he other and that neither
shall seek to coerce the other in any
way. How, then, is President Will
son to find excuse for seeking to in
f1uence the legislative department in
to doing his bidding or carrying out
his will in the laws which are to be
enacted? 1t is most unfortunate that
sumed that he can dictate to the 9TH
er departments of the government
what they shall do. Theodore Roose-
welt, when president, pressed this
claim further than any president be-
fore him and to an extent that Great
ed great embarrassment. He not on
ly sought to dominate the congress,
but the courts as well, and roundly
abused judges who decided cases not
to his liking. Mr.. Wilson, if the pro-
gram which is suggested is carried
out, will make a similar mistake.
The president has his own duties
to perform and these duties have been
clearly marked out and are confined
to the enforcement of the laws and
if he seeks to dominate the other
branches of the government he does
so in violation of the constitution and
the oath which he took as president
of the United States.

Zone System Attacked.

| A number of bills have been intro
duced in congress to do away with the
zone system in the administration Of
the parcel post; to buy out the ex-
press companies and to put the gov
eminent into the transportation bus
mess in much larger way than is
now being done. The Lewis, the
Goerke and the Gardner bills are all
Objectionable bills and ought ont to
to be enacted and probably will not
be. The present parcel post system
gives the farmers long-desired postal
facilities and at the same time pro.
tects the merchants from big mail or
der houses. The latter, in combina-
ton with other interests, commercial
and political, wish to do away with
the zone system and substitute the
flat rate, like letter postage, the same
would be loss to the government
and an injustice to every local COM
munity 1t ought to be strenuously
resisted.
The Farmers National congress has
sent out warnings against these meas
ures 1t regards the issue of vital
importance to farmers and local COM
mercial interests. In circular John
NJ. Stahl, of Chicago, the legislative
agent of the organization, says: "The
prosperity of merchants in towns and
villages depends on the zone system.
And with rates properly adjusted in
this SYSTEM and with the merchants
and dealers of towns and villages ad-
vertising in the local papers, these
merchants and dealers will be able
to compete successfully with the large
city merchants for the local territory
trade"
From this statement three conclus-
ions are reached: % To hold the
country trade the local dealers must
advertise in the local papers. (2) If
they can compete SUCCESSFULLY" then
all the requirements of their rural pat
rons are adequately met and every
body satisfied excepting the outside
competitors who wish to monopolize
the country trade. This leads to 90
the logical conclusion that the zone
system is preferable for the general
public welfare and that the proposed
radical and unwise innovations ought
to be vigilantly Observation-Disclosures

CUMMINS SOLiClTOUS.

There is talk of an attempt at re-
organizing the republican party in the
state. 1t is said that Senator Cum
Minis will probably take hold of the
matter and may call convention with
the thought of bringing the discordant
elements of the republican party to-
gether. 1t should create no surprise
to hear that the willy senator is an
xious to have all differences adjusted
and the factions in the party united.
For some time it has been noticed
that he is solicitous about the party's
welfare and in favor of a program of
harmony, and it is not difficult to dis
cover that he realizes that if some
thing is not done his chances to sue
coed himself in the United States SEN
ate will diminish at rapid rate.
The senator is an apt student of
political situations, especially those
that bear upon his fortunes and those
who have followed his career have
discovered that just before the peo-
pie are to express themselves upon
an issue that concerns him, he be-
comes solicitous about the party, but
as soon as he has realized upon his
ambition he assumes different atti-
tude and does not hesitate to put the
welfare of the party in jeopardy. If
the senator had taken as much inter-
est in preventing the dissolution OF
the party as he is now in trying to get
the factions together, he would not
have to worry about his chances for
succeeding himself in the senate.
For years it has been his policy to
build himself up and to supplant 9TH
er men in the party by attacking the
leaders of the party, and has succeed
ed to the extent that he is now
enjoying the fruit of his efforts
in this respect, but he finds
it more difficult to unite a party than
to divide it. He should have thought
zion met, that it was a mistake to ad-
wise the convention to refuse to
adopt the republican national plat
form and to endorse the candidates of
the national convention for president
and vice-president. In other words,
he should not have led in the move
uent to cause the last republican
state convention to vote itself out of
the republican party. He will have
some difficulty to convince the repub-
licans that he is entitled to their sup
port in the campaign next year. He
should look to Theodore Roosevelt,
whom he supported for president, for
aid and not to the regular republicans
whom he betrayed.
Thousands of voters in the past have
supported him because they believed
that, if given chance, he would be
