the progressive party in the state were
outlined in the address of Chairman
Bonapare. who said, on taking the chair:
There are two or three very practical
matters which must be borne in mind
at this time The first is the statewide
registration of voters. The occasion will
be presented for every qualified voter to
have his name enrolled There must also
De an elimination of voters whose names
might be enrolled. We must avail our
selves of this opportunity to have regis
tered the names of all voters who be-
heve in progressive principles.
A second subject is the formation of
a progressive club. / understand that
this club is an accomplished fact II
shows that we are in earnest and mean
business. third question is the estab-
lishment of a newspaper which will truly
present our views and our principles
AS a party we have been well exploited
We should like to have ourselves pictured
differently from the manner in which we
have been represented. We shall also
be called upon to visit New York and
there confer with Col Roosevelt and
other national progressive leaders. II

nomination Of progressive candidates. |

Although many of the regulars are
ready to hike rain or shine. large part
of the mixers are unwilling to walk in

Thousands on Outings.
Every one who likes to walk or who
cares to get near to nature is invited to
make the hike this afternoon. The COM
munity hikes were begun on the theory'
that many Washingtonians who loved
the outdoors and loved to walk did not =
do 30 because they did not know where
the pretty walks are or because theyr
feared getting lost. That this theory
was correct Is now the belief of those
who first started the hit the trail''
movement. as thousands OF persons have
made the hikes. Several hundred have
been present on each of the outings.
When fear was expressed that the
hikes might be discontinued for the sum-
mer. a large number OF those who had
been enjoying the outings urged that
they might be continued. Different per-
sons are now acting as leaders for the
hikes, so that the entire responsibility
does not fall on any one man.
Already a hike is being planned for
Wednesday evening. The idea of might
! hikes seems to be popular with many Of
the wanderlusters.

Report No INDECENT Masons.

committee of the Grand Lodge Of
Masons in Virginia held a session few
days ago to discuss the question Of estab-
fishing home for the benefit Of the aged
and infirm members Of the craft. Reports
were received from great part OF the
state and it developed that t..ere are no
members of the order who would go to
such home or who are in need OF sup
port. There are some $4,000 members IN
Virginia and some of the lodges are
small. but every member has a eood
home and is comfortable. and for that
reason the committee reported that the
time had not arrived for the building OF

to the Grand Lodge will be along that
line

the evidence was such that the jury

that they believed there was some doubt

HYATTSvILLE Nd. June 2O.-The
mayor and common council held a spe-
cial meeting here last night and ap-
proved. with some minor alterations,
the assessment fled by the board Of

Hanging or Electrocution.

Gov. Stuart has knotty question be-
| fore him. or will have in a few days. Six
years ago a negro, Judge Stuart Mann,
as he calls himself, shot and killed an
other negro in Nottaway county. He
was tried and sentenced to die. He was
in the county jail and while there he was
given an iron spike. and he proceeded to
cut his way out Of the Jail and left. He
was caught at Lawrenceville and the
sheriff of Nottaway was sent after him.
Judge Stuart Mann is in prison. He has
been sentenced to hang by the neck till
criminals these days. The question is
will the law, as it then existed. be car
ried out, or will the man have to be re-
sentenced and ordered to be electrocuted?
At any rate. he will have to be sentenced
again, for he has lived five years longer
than the time at which he was ordered
to be executed.
Since the state tax commission has been
sitting here and making an investigation
in the taxing system Of this and other
states, it has had occasion to call j. c.
Pleydell of New York and A. E. James
Of Wisconsin. both recognised experts
and students Of the subject OF taxation.
They were here for several weeks, going
over the state reports and aiding In
reaching a correct basis for the impo-
sition of taxes. In doing this they were
called on to make a study OF the reports
of the auditor of public accounts. and
they both declared that the reports ia

most comprehensive and intelligent Of
any that had ever come under their OBJ
servation.

Great Britain Invaded
No Less Than 53 Times
Since Conqueror's Time

In the spring of 1909 there was a
great outbreak OF what was derisively
dubbed German phobia" in England
and many prophets (now of more
honor than them ventured to predict
that Englishmen then living would see
he hosts of the kaiser on the fields of
York or Kent.
Charles Russell. a British statesman
advocating stronger measures of de-
tense against the peril from across the
North sea. attempted TO smash the
SNUG London merchants conviction
that the British isles are safe from
invasion by showing how easily they
mad been invaded in the past.
He showed that hostile forces have
landed on British soil no less than 53
times since William the Conqueror
came over from Normandy in 1866.
Some OF these invasions soon fizzled;
others resulted in the upset of a
dynasty. II is true that the two great
est dangers threatening Britain since
he ColQuerOrs time--the Spanish
Armada and the proposed expedition
across the channel of Napoleon Bona
parte-were successfully parted. But

to pick a secluded harbor and throw
several thousand men ashore before
defenders could arrive i'm sufficient

Or less perfunCtory resistance.

the residence of Lord Selkirk 1t is
TO be noted. however that many OF
these invasions of Great Britain were
aided by British of a faction opposed
TO the rulers or even had British lead
ers for their foreign troops
Since 119S Great Britain has been
free from invasion-I25 years. 1t is
this long period of peace which got
the British into the confirmed belief
that William the ConQueror was the
