his affdavits or testimony. He did not
mention her handkerchief, blood
stained, found In the cellar. He de-
MED ever having seen Mary's purse
until It was recalled at the last
moment OF his evidence. Then he said
he had seen 1t lying on Franks desk
when he and Frank returned from the
cellar after disposing OF the body, and
that Frank had put the purse In the
safe.
Frank opened the safe In the pres
ence Of the officers the next morn
ing. Frank would have had no use
for the purse, the hat ribbon or the
hat flowers which were stripped from
the hat and never found. They are
the natural spoils OF the savage. IT is
inconcelvable that the superintendent
of the factory Nould escape from the
back door I'm the basement after pry-
ing the lock off. Conley had $2.50
when he left the factory that day. Did
he get that from a cigaret box given
him by Frank, as he testified, or did
he take il out OF Mary Phagan's s
purse? Nobody would expect the fac
tory entrance to be open on holi-
day Why should Frank have asked
Conley TO watch" to see that nobody
came In, instead OF locking the door?
Conley could not, and would not. have
prevented any southern white man
from entering the factory that day.
He would have been knocked down.
The very fact that Conley was at
tempting IL would arouse suspicion.
There was a substance found at the
bottom OF the elevator shaft on Sun
day. which had been left there on
Saturday morning. This IL undis-
puted II is Conley's own testimony.
II the elevator cage had gone into
the basement that Saturday noon, 1t

crushed when the elevator was oper

fact which cannot be argued away
and which unimpeachably dlsproves
COnley's story. The two silent work
men on the fourth floor never heard
the elevator run that day. The gear

feeling the vibration.

with the theory OF the state that Frank
killed her In a moment of anger, due
TO her resentment. There were cln-
ders and sawdust in the girls nose
and mouth, drawn in the act Of
breathing, and under her finger nails.
Her face had been rubbed before
death into these cinders, evidently in
the attempt to smother her cries. Her
clothes were all soiled IN the cinders-
yet Conley swore he and Frank carried
the body I'm a "crocus" sack into the
cellar and left it there. This "crocus'
sack was never found There was
not an ounce OF cinders on the sec
ond floor, where Conley said he found
her dead. The upper floors were
swept clean every day. There were
some strands OF loose hair found on
a machine on the second floor, where
Frank is supposed to have struck
Mary Phagan. They were not discoV-
cred by the officers on Sunday In a
complete search Of the factory. The
expert who microscoplcally examined
this hair and compared 1t with Mary
Phagan's informed the prosecutor be
fore the trial that the hair was not
that of Mary Phagan's, but this infor-
nation was withheld from the de-
fense. and was not brought out by
the prosecutor on the trial, who af
terward said the matter was not i'm
portant, and that he had proved by
other witnesses that the hair "re-
sembled" Mary Phagan's. On the
trial the prosecutor claimed TO have
lost these three strands of hair.

Bows in War.

Such Americans as read closely the
short and simple annals of the defenders
of the United States who have fallen in
battle in Mexico cannot fail to be i'm
pressed. None earlier than 1885, nine Of
them were born IN the early ninetes,
which means Of course that the warriors
who are unfolding the dignity of the Re-
public far from home are in most cases
young men who have barely passed their
majority.
Our civil war; the most terrible of all
times, revealed similar records. The av-
erage age of the men who fought from
Bull Run TO Appomattox was hardly
more than twenty-four years. We called
the affectionately but with terrible truth,
the boys IN blue"
War is never what it appears to be in
poetry, in history, in craftsmanship. The
grizzled veterans that we see in our mag
nation are in fact only hardy youths,
Injured to danger and suffering. II no
man under forty were permitted to 60 to
war, how many wars would there be? If
every man who pronounces in favor of
war were compelled to don the uniform,
how many wars would there be?
War preys upon youth and experience.
Necessary as it may be at times. war
makes little appeal to those who are
really acquainted with it.-New York

ISAAC LOBE STRAUS OPENS
HIS CAMPAIGN FOR U. S.
SENATOR.

Isaac Lobe Straus opened his cam
paign for the Democratic nomination for
United States Senator on Monday night,
May 4th, IN Cumberland, with an appel
for the votes of the workingmen. He de.
fed anyone to point out one single act in
his whole career that was not in the in
terest of the masses.
The meeting was held in the Postoffice
plaza and the speeches we're made from
the City Hall steps. The Boys Band
played and there was a good sized
crowd.
Mayor Thomas w. Koon opened the
meeting and then adjourned to the
Council Chamber to preside over the
weekly meeting of the council. He sur
rendered the Craftsmanship to De Warren
H. Reynolds. who introduced Mr..
StrauS and the speakers who followed
him.
The first address was BY State Senator
William J. Ogden, of Baltimore, who
extolled the work of the Democratic Ma
tional Administration and praised the
record of Mr.. Straus. Mr.. Straus fol-
lowed. He, too, spoke IN praise of the
work OF Wilson and BRYAN, but devoted
the most Of his talk to his own record in
writing planks IN the Democratic State
platforms and drafting bills in behalf of
the masses Of the people
In the audience were a number of or
ganization Democrats, including Post
master Frank B. Beal, Jasper N. Will
son and James c. Shrver a member of
the State Central Committee.
James r. Neal, of Baltimore, the Sec.
rotary of the State Federation of Labor,
spoke eu!ogstically OF the work of Mr..
Straus in behalf of labor. Mr.. N. E.
Reese. of Baltimore, the chairman of the
Legislative Board of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen and vice chairman Of
the joint committee of the brotherhood
to promote the candidacy of Mr.. Straus,
was the last speaker.

College Farmers.

From the Department of Agriculture
there has been issued bulletin giving
the results OF the recent investigations in
three representative areas of Indiana
Illinois and Iowa. with respect to the ef-
fects of education upon the income of the
farmers. OF the farms examined II per
cent. OF the owners or tenants had only
district school education IS per cent.
had high school training and one in
every IS was a college graduate. Those
with high school education made about
double the income of those that had been
limited to the country schools, but it was
also found that those with the higher edu-
cation had the further advantages of
much larger farms and more capital to
work with.
The tenant farmers were found to be
better educated as a class than the farm
owners. The investigation also tends
to establish the fact that those who starr
the earliest to farm makes the most
profits"
This leaves it doubtful whether the
farm boy starting early might not make
an equal income with the college-bred
farmer If he had equal capital and equal
land. In defense Of the college aeri-
culturist, however, Dean Hunt, of the
University of California, recently pointed
out that he often has little opportunity to
show the worth of his training. He can
not enter upon his fathers farm, for that
is occupied, and he has to become ten
ant or the employee of rich farmer. He
starts, therefore, often with less money
than the farm bred boy, and his success
is more In his education than in his
wealth.

MOVE TO KEEP PARTY To-
GETHER.
Chairman Baughman Proposes to
Make Permanent Headquarters
For Democrats.


THE following interesting article ap.
peared in the post" on Tuesday morn
ing, May 5th, and we append enough of
1t to give an idea of the purpose of the
Chairman of the Democratic County
Central Committee. OF course organi-
cation takes i'll all that pertains to
strengthening the lines of the rank and
flle at all seasons and at all times and
this move to have permanent head
quarters where the chairman and the var
lous organization heads can come in con.
tact with the members of the party from
all parts OF the county any day in the
week, summer and winter, and during
dull times in politics, is certainly a good
one and should be encouraged by all
those who take the slightest interest in
party affairs.
1t IS well known fact that there is
always something doing in politics and
much OF the excellent work done IN the
past by both sides was done when there
was no election or campaign pending.
Registration is the keynote upon which
campaign victory songs have been at
tuned to. and the same holds good at
the present time. With general regis
tratlon on for this summer, it looks good
to US to see some place provided where
the pubic can get information on mat.
tiers political at all times and where most
effective work can be done. The cues
ton OF economy comes in for its share
IN the sugges tive motive, but where a
place IS centrally located and with mod
crate rent can be secured it will paw for
itself over and over again.
1t goes without saying that those in
charge will look after the affairs of the
different sections throughout the county
with palnstaking care and with an idea
OF future good. 1t is also hoped by the
heads of the organization that the mem
oers OF the party everywhere will take
advantage of the opportunity afforded
them by permanent headquarters to visit
them as often as they can and help in the
good work that is outlined for all loval
Democrats this fall and as long as they
live.
We hereby announce by authority
that the Democratic organization of
Frederick county has secured the second
story OF the Williamson Building, next
to and south OF the Pythian Castle, and
opposite THE CITIZEN office, on Court
street. These rooms will be fixed up,
and by reason of their convenience and
central location should be the center of
Democratic political actlvity.-ED.1
With view Of perfecting the organ
izatlon OF the Democratic party OF Fred
