Our old friend Governor Colquitt
of Texas has seeded again.
The Wilson administration Is the
greatest failure in the history Of the
Presidency" The Southern cotton
growers have not made proper con
nections with the United States
treasury. The new tariff robs the
poor and enriches the trusts. The
Secretary OF War won't take orders
from the Governor Of Texas. The
government Of the United States
plays into the hands OF the English
cotton spinners. 70 Is a wicked thing
10 respect the obligation OF treaties
especially when the coastwise ship.
ping monopoly wants free tolls at the
expense Of the American people. The
antitrust laws are "barefaced fakes,
and National bankers are telling the
Governor that the new banking and
currency law is going to prove a
failure
It is very, very sad but Il is espe
cially sad in view OF the fact that the
Governor OF Texas raised more thar
$4,000 for the Wilson campaign
fund" and yet cannot get a nickeI'
worth Of satisfaction out Of the ad
ministration.
We do not know what he Governo
can do about Il. but he might try run
ming for office in Texas on the Re
publican ticket. He Is wholly In aC

The regional reserve banks seem
TO be pretty well named. from the
fact that they are reserved about
placing their reserve where any of us

reserving their reserve for hard

The regional reserve banks are no
exception to other financial institu
lions. They are here to do business
but they have got to do it along strict
business lines. There are some peo
pie who just naturally can't get over
the idea that Congress has power to
legislate fritter trees and lakes OF

NEW NEW YEARS SUGGESTION.
Why swear OF?
Why not SWEAR on

Why swear of?
Why not SWEAR on
We've been swearing off year after
year on the years birthday and the
world doesn't seem to be a great deal
better for these good resolutions.
SO why swear off at all-and why
not SWEAR on?
Swearing off is New Years cele-
bration from which good folks are
barred, but SWEARING on is a privi-
lege which the good as well as the
not so good may share.
The man who neither drinks nor
swears and is nice to his mother.in-
law has little to swear off, but there's
plenty for him to swear on to. He
could. for instance, swear on to pub.
lie spirit, brotherly love, and consid.
Grafton for the man who has less than
he has.
The woman who shuns gossip, idle
ness and frivolity has nothing worth
while to swear off'-but she could
SWEAR ON to gentleness, sympathy
for the unfortunate, tenderness t.
children.
The SWEARING on habit is jus
as good for the poor rich man as
for the man who hasn't much of tn,
worlds goods. It's a good habit TO
the youngsters, and better habit 70
grown-ups.
Why waste your time swearing OF
the bad habits OF the old year-mis
takes cannot be unmade.

The wheat growing sections OF
Texas are reporting good stands
and crop looking fine. With the

day, the outlook for these people is
rosy indeed. The truth of the whole
matter is, the man who is raising
something to eat is the man who is
going to be in clover.

Barnes Not Libeled by Roosevelt.

The jury in the trial of William
Barnes suit for libel at Syracuse
N. Y, against Theodore Roosevelt
returned a verdict in favor of the de-
fendant after considering for more
than eleven hours the question of
placing all the costs of the action on
the plaintiff.
The jury was out forty-two hours. 1t
is the belief of the jury that every.
thing Colonel Roosevelt charged is
true, and therefore the plaintiff, not
having been libeled. is entitled to no
damages.
The foreman of the jury, Warren
W. Summers, announced that the ver-
dict was for the defendant, and then
the jury was polled. Ten jurors an
swered "for the defendant" Then the
clerk hesitated, called the name of
Edward Burns and waited. Burns.

DYING CONVICT
TELLS OF MURDER
Clears Up a Mystery Of Thirty
Years Standing.
VICTIMS BONES DUG UP.
Francis Kindt, Of Lehphton, Was
Killed by Three Men, Robbed Of
s11oo and His Body Buried.

A murder mystery Of thirty years
ago was cleared up by the finding OF
the bones of Squire Francis Kindt
of Lehighton, near Allentown, Pa,
who dropped out of sight in 1885 with
$l100 belonging to an estate Of which
he was the executor.
This find substantiates the deathbed
confession, several months ago, Of
Henry Truxen, a negro inmate of the
western penitentiary. TruXen told his
cellmate, Robert E. Boyer, that, as
sisted by two white men, he had MUIR
dered Squire Kindt and buried the
body in lonely spot on a mountain
about two miles from Millport.
Seeing an opportunity to clear his
fathers memory, Howard Kindt, son
OF the squire, now living in Brooklyn,
set out to solve the mystery. He OBJ
tanned the parole of Boyer, who had
written down Truxen's confession, Civ.
ing in detail the planning and execu-
tion Of the crime and the burial OF the
body.
A party composed Of Kindt, several
friends and relatives began to search
for the burial spot. The directions set
down by Boyer proved to be accurate.
for with little digging the bones Of
Squire Kindt were found, together
with some moldy documents which es.
tablished the identity of the remains. /
Squire Kindt was a leading citizen
Of Carbon county, widely known and |
trusted. One day he left his home to |
go to Easton to place in a bank some .
money belonging to an estate of which
he was executor He did not arrive at
Easton and was never seen afterward.
TruXen confessed to his cellmate,
Boyer, that his two accomplices were
neighbors Of the squire, who knew he
had a large sum of money in his pos.
session. One of them died five years
ago. The other is said to be still living
near MillpOrt.
Truxen, in his confession, stated
that he and his companions lay in
wait for the squire in a lonely place.
He was killed by a blow from a pick
handle after a brief struggle.
Although there is no corroborative
evidence of Truxen's confession, the
district attorney has instituted an in.
vestigation Of the case. The bones Of
the squire will be inferred in the fam
lily plot.

WAR TERMS NOT UNDERSTOOD
"ForIorn Hope" for Instance, Hat Not
the Meaning With Which 1t
is Credited.

In the course of every war one
hears a great deal about "torlorn
hopes" The term is one of the most
misused in the vocabulary of war II
is commonly misunderstood to mean
lost troop"-that is detached
troop" The word hope" in the
phrase is not an English but Dutch
word, hoop" meaning literally
heap" and secondarily body OF
troops. The word "forlorn" represents
the Dutch "verloren"-lost. A yer
loren hoop" was a detached body OF
troops thrown out In front of the main
line of battle to find the enemy
and engage them first. This was the
regular sixteenth and seventeenth
century practice, and though it was
one of the more dangerous kinds OF
service it was not desperate or, In
the English sense, forlorn. Nowadays
much the same work is done by the
detached bodies of cavalry which are
thrown out before the main line to find
the enemy
"Capitulation" is another term OF
war, which is very loosely used. 1t
does not mean surrender. but sur
render on terms; in fact, it means the
terms, not the surrender. 1t is from
the Latin "capitulum" or heading"
from which is derived our word
"chapter'), and capitulation is
formal treaty OF surrender drawn up
under a series of headings or chap
ters. embodying the terms on each
point.
