ner's play in the National league this

since 1911. This seems remarkable in
view of the fact he is rounding out his

Philadelphia recently the papers raved
over his work, asserting he made plays

The morning papers today all give
up their editorial space to black bon
dered eulogies Of Kitchener. C iof
interest perhaps, attaches to the Irib-
utes of the papers of Lord Northclife
which, after hailing Earl Kitchener in
the early days of the war as the ally
man for the war office, turned on him
a year ago with bitter denuneiations
as being an overrated man who had
had no experience except with AsiatiC
border campaigns. The Times ard
the Daily Mail were publicly burned
in the stock exchange after ther first
attacks on Earl Kitchener and by res
olution were barred from many pu' liz
reading rooms.
Today, however, both these news,

editorial praise of the fallen leader.

GREAT STORM SWEEPS
THROUGH -FOUR STATES
-sr
ioeEH uisss. szB A.'7 TWENTY sIS
KNOWN TO HAVE PERSISTED
Seventy-six Deaths Reported from
Arkansas and Fifteen From Mis-
sissippi-RepOrts Received
Incomplete.

One hundred and twenty-six deaths
had been reported from the storm
swept sections of Arkansas, Missou-
ri, Mississippi and Illinois as belated
reports were received from commune
ties which suffered in a series of tor
nadoes Monday night and early Tues
day morning. A number of persons
were unaccounted for and believed to
be dead, and several hundred were in
jured. Accurate estimates of prop
erty damaged were not available, but
all figures ventured by property own
ers ran into the hundreds of thous-
ands.
Incomplete tabulations show the
following deaths:
Arkansas rs.
Missouri 80, possibly more.
Mississippi Is.
Illinois one.
Tennessee four, with a score or
more missing in the overturning of
the Mississippi river packet Elenore.
The casualties in Arkansas were
from every section. Scarcely a coun-
ty escaped the path of twisters,
which traversed the entire state.
Jockson and Vicksburg suffered from
the storm in Mississippi. Many of
the Casualties in Arkansas and Mis-
sissippi were negroes. In Missouri
the Poplar Bluff section was well
nigh devastated.
Possibly the full extent Of the
storms death toll had not become
known Tuesday, for word was sent
late Tuesday night from Conway,
Ark, that 40 persons had been killed
or injured at Cato, near there. 0w-
ing to prostrated wires it was impos-
sible to get in communication with
the town and the rumored casualties
were not included in the list of more
than 100 dead.

Miss Ann Martin of Reno, New, was

in the IL suffrage states who place
equal suffrage before the interest of
any political party"
Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont of New York
in her opening speech said that all po-
liticians would be taught something
about their business this year by the
women.
As to what women could do with
their votes after they have obtained
nationwide equal suffrage, Mrs. Bel
mont stated that time and women only
could tell.
Woman does not ask the vote for
her own selfish interests" said Mrs.
Belmont, ''for her own individual pro-
lection, but as a demand against the
injustice which has excluded onehalf
OF the human race from the right to
speak for itself and vote for itself"
More than two hundred delegates
from various parts the country are
in attendance. A committee of 100
was named to work among delegates
to the republican and progressive con
ventions, urging equal suffrage planks.

Taft's comment on the course Of the
administration with reference to the
Philippines and Col Roosevelt's re-
marks anent the ship bin he refused
to make any comment. explaining that
he did not think il proper to do so. He
intimated that he favors the estab-
ishment Of new code Of manners to
govern the relation between presidents
and ex-presidents Of the United States
and laughingly expressed thehope that
after he leaves the Office Of president
his successors may refrain from any
expression Of opinion on what he may

He will advocate national aid tt
good roads builasng, tosthe further de-
velopment of agriculture, to the up
building Of educational institutions
along certain lines, and will stand with
the present administration upon the
greatpolicies approved by the national
democratic platform and advocated by
President Wilson,
Mr.. Senter is scion of a family
that stood for the things revered by
the old South, and is the son Of one Of
the bravest and best of the old Con-
federate soldiers, but he is not living
in the dead days Of the past, howev.
er glorious it may have been. He
stands with his face to the future
ready to assist in the development Of
conditions that will tend to the better.
ment of mankind and the good of his
country.
Our fathers laid the foundations
broad and deep for great republican
form of government, but they could
not raise the superstructure. This de-
wolves upon this and future genera
tions. We cannot forever linger to
admire the foundations, stone must
be laid upon Stone to the end of per-
feet edifice.
Judge Senter will, stand for the
things that must be done by this gem
Grafton and for fair division of the
benefits Of governmental help for all
districts, and especially will be de-
manded fair and equitable treatment
for his own people.
The Ninth Congressional District
is so situated we cannot share in the
usual benefits derived from govern
ment expenditures and government
enterprises. We have no ports and
can sexpect no ship-b building yards.
We have no steel or coal at hand and
car expect no munition factories. We
have no frontiers and can expect no
forts or army posts, nor can we ex-
pect military or naval schools nor any
other governmental Institutions that
would require an unusual outlay of
money to be spent in our country. But
we can be benefited by national aid
to roads, and this would be the best
thing the government could ever do for
this or any other agricultural commu-
nifty.
1t IS costing our farmers 25 cents
or more per ton to move our produce
to the railways when it should cost us
less than ten. We are paying trib-
utes of millions to mud, and many of
our precious products--boys and girls
--are growing Up without fair educa-
tional advantages, because they can
not go to and from the little country
schools because they are mud-bound
the only time they have to be in
school.
Judge Senter believes in good roads
and he has given of his time and
means in an unstinted way to assist
in their development. He is going To
keep up this fight, and if he is elect
ed to congress, he will be one of the
big guns" on the road question.
The success or the black failure Of
a government and Of a people rests
eventually upon the success or the
failure Of the farmers and the farm
ing communities, and Judge Senter is
asking to represent an agricultural
district in the congress with the
knowledge Of the needs Of such q dis
trict and Of such a people gained from
long study and hearty sympathy, and
if elected, he will represent the dis.
trict in every sense Of the Word.-Adv
