neatest retorts he ever made.
He was addressing a meeting In
South Wales. according to Pearson'a
Weekly. when the chairman. thinking
to be witty at the chancellor's expense
remarked to the audience that he was
little disappointed In Lloyd-Georse's
appearance.
II had heard 60 much about Mr
Lloyd-George." he said. that nat
urally expected to meet big man In
every sense: but. as you can see for
yourselves. he is very small In stat

Many an orator would have been
grievously upset by such an unfortu'

more personal remarks.

Democratic Party Op-
posed Merchant
Marine.

Congressman ", I. Humphrey
of Washington. Jannary IA, 1915
Gin his Indianapolis speech,
the President was especially Sc
we're upon those who do not agree
with him in regard TO his social
istic, propositions to construct a
merchant marine. He said of
those who oppose him on this
proposition:
Some of them are blind; some
Of them misgR Jed; most Of them
are ignorant.
Il will make no comment upon
the prUpriety ot. The sacItiof seit-
poise indicated by those words.
I do not believe, SO far as my
memory serves me, that any 9TH
er president has ever used such
language as that in reference to
another branch of the govern
ment, except Andrew johnson.
But whatever we may think of
the propriety Of the language,
certainly it stills the tongue of
those who have been, with such
show of virtuous Indignation, ev-
er ready to ,denounce anyone who
criticizes the President. It is
somewhat hard to understand, in
view of the record of his party
and of his own record, why the
President takes such offence at
any man who does not agree with
him in regard to bis. program for
securing a merchant marine. 1t
was the Democratic party under
the leadership Of Jefferson Davis
before the war. that enacted leg
isIation that led to the destruc-
ton of our merchant marine. and
since that time the Democratic
party has opposed every measure
chat has ever been proposed thai
would be of benefit toward re
constructing it"

Children CRY
FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTOR RIA
Avoid Usurpation Of
Power.

George Washington, Farewell
Address. 1t is important that
the habits of thinking in a free
country should inspire caution in
those intrusted with its admins
tration, to confine themselves
within their respective constitu-
tional spheres. avoiding in the
exercise of the powers Of one de-
partment to encroach upon an
other. The spirit of encroach.
ment tends to consolidate the
powers Of all the departments in
one, and thus to create, whatev-
er the form of government, a
real despotism. A just estimate
CT that love of power and prone
ness to abuse it which predcmi-
nate in the human heart is suttl-
cient to satisfy us of the truth OF
| this position. The necessity OF
| reciprocal checks in the exercise
of political power, by dividing
and distributing it into different
repositories and constituting
each the guardian of the public
veal against invasions of the 9TH
ers, has been evinced by expert
ments ancient and modern, some
| of them in our country and und-
er our own eyes, To preserve
them must be as necessary as to
institute them. If, in the opin-
| ion of the people, the distribution
or modification of the constltu-
tional powers be in any partlcu-
lar wrong, let it be corrected by
an amendment in the way which
the Constitution designates. But
let there be no change by usur'
patton, Tor though this in one IN
stance may be the instrument o.
good, it is the customary weapon
bv which free governments art
destroyed. The precedent mus
!. always greatly overbalance ii
!. permanent evil any partial 0
transient benefit which the US
, can at any time yield.

H. M. Dershem and wife had
H. F. Darshem and wife Of Green
vile as guests yesterday.
Thanksgiving vas duly cele-
brated here last Thursday night
with union services, which were
held in our Presbyterian caurch,
the sermon being given by Rev.
]. o. HiIlcry, pastor of our M. E.
church, to a well-flled house,
which was we'll timed and con-
tained what is needful for the
day and what ought to be fur
nished by our divines. These are
occasions on which diversions
ought to be taken to instruct the
people on righteous patriotism.
There ought to be occasions when
our people ought to be called from
consideration of worldly cares to
reflect on righteous civic duties
as distinguished from civil duties.
The usual seventh day ministra-
tions of the sanctuary fail to fur
nish sufficient religious pabulum
for the proper nourishment and
growth of our spiritual natures
and, forsooth, such days as
Thanksgiving are appointed to
afford us a larger supply of the
needful things to increase our
means of good citizenship.
Some twelve or more Of our
Masonic fraternity attended the
funeral services of Thomas P.
O'Brien, who was killed at
gravel pit west of Greenville last
week, which were held at Brad
ford yesterday.
It seems that accidents do not
always happen at places distant
from our homes, and to teach us
that misfortune may come upon
us, the fast train passing here
about noon Friday caught the
Armstrong truck flom Piqua,
loaded with candy and a lone oc-
cupant, VIM. Snyder, of Piqua,
demolishing the truck, making
sad havoc of it's contents and in
ju1ing the man. who since died,
leaving a wife and nine children,
scme of whom are quite small.
This is a very sad occurrence.
Miss Alma Horner Of near Rich
mond, Ind, spent Thanksgiving
with the family of her uncle Will
here.
Miss Grace Hahn began atten-
ding school at Greenville today.
Mrs. Daisy Hahn, Mrs. Alpha
Moore and Mrs. J. M. Moul were
Greenville visitors today.
Mrs. Alice Myers entertained
a large number of visitors yes
terday.
So far as appearances go it
would seem that winter is upon
us, probably to stay.

Instant Death.

instantly killed at the Greenville
Gravel Co.'s pit, west of that
city. The local freight crew in
| his charge was doing switching
in the pit, they were backing in
with an empty fat in front of the
caboose and some twenty cars be-
tween it and the engine. Con-
ductor O'Blien, brakemen r. o.
burst and G. J. Luker were on
the front. end of the fiat, O'Brien
standing up and the two brake
men were sitting down. The for
mer was just getting ready to sit
down and had started to put his
hand on Brakeman Durst's shoul-
der when the slack in the train
was suddenly taken out, precipi-
tating O'BrienIto the track ahead
Of the moving train. He was
thrown between the rails.
The brakemen Immediately saw
what had happened and jumped
off the car and had the train
stopped as soon as possible, but
not until the fiat car, the ca
boose, anotherefat car and the
first pair of trucks of. the next
car had passed over his body.
When the brakemen reached him
his one leg was lying across one
of the rails and when he was
drawn from under the train life
was extinct, SO that death was
practically instant. Seven pairs
of trucks had passed over his
body before the train was stop
ped by setting the air brakes
from the caboose.
He was likely so,stunned by the
impact of striking on his face and
head on the track that he did not
suffer at all from the wheels.
The mutilated remains were plac-
ed in the caboose and broughtin
by his crew, stopping at Gettys-
burg for Coroner VanLue to re-
view the remains and examine
the witnesses. Upon arrival here
the body was taken to the Y. M.
G. A. and prepared by Underta-
,ker I. B. Miller before taking him
home.
Mr., O'Brien had been in the
train service nearly a quarter
century and was one Of the Penn
sylvania's most peculiar, compe-
tent and careful conductors, a
model citizen, husband and ia.
ther.
He was one of the trustees OF
the Presbyterian church, one Of
