Around the Corner
They say that better times now
are actually "just around the cor
ner." That statement has been so
much In the air that 1t has lost its
appeal, but newer has the senti-
ment Of so many been so unani-
NOUS in the assertion that there
will be an Improvement in 1885, es-
pecially during the latter half Of
the year.-Eveleth Clarion.
Bonus Payment?
One Of the most vexing prob
lens that the congress will wrestle
with turns out to be the payment
of the soldiers bonus. President
Roosevelt. in q statement the past
week, has declared himself oppos-
ed to cash payment at this time,
reiterating largely the old objec-
tions raised by previous admins
trations. Undeterred, the bonus
hackers are continuing their drive
on congress for payment and
many administration men will find
themselves in an embarrassing pos
ition in the face of a certain Roose-
welt veto. The hackers claim
enough votes to swing the legisla-
ton over the presidents veto If
necessary, but a compromise on the
question seems like the likely sol
ution.-St. Peter Herald.
Are We Less Self-Reliant?
II do not want to live under a
philanthropy. I do not want to be
taken care Of by the government
i. want only to have right and
justice prevail so far as ] am con-
cerned. Give me right and justice
and I will undertake to take care
Of myself. will not live under
trustees II can help it. do not
care how wise, how patriotic the
trustees may be. never heard OF
any group Of men in whose hands
I am willing to trust the liberties
of the American people"
In that utterance the late Pres
ident Wilson, q Democrat, reflected
the American spirit Of independ-
ence and democracy. Self-rehance
is the keynote. Right and justice
are the demands to be made OF
government. How far have we
travelled from the path indicated
by that statement! Perhaps 1t has
been in a direction of progress, In
the interests of social justice. in
behalf of fairness, and yet if the
transition in government has meant
fundamentally all those things and
yet has sacrificed the self-reliance
of the people, it will be a hollow
achievement, indeed.
The self-reliant American wants
no one to determine his destinies
for him. Given right and justice
he will care for his own future

In the nations where education has been CIV

TEMPEST MARKS
DIVORCE HEARING
PaImisano Orders Meeting
to Adjourn, but Others
Adopt D. c. Bill.
BY JAMES E. CHM.

Another hearing by the Judiciary
Subcommittee of the House District
Committee today on the troublesome
bill to liberalize the Districts divorce
| laws wound up in unprecedented fash
ion. leaving its fate in maze Of doubt.
In the first place, Representative
Palmisano, Democrat, of Maryland,
chairman Of the subcommittee,
abruptly called an adjournment and
stalked out Of the meeting in protest
against what he described as the at
tempts of two of his colleagues-Rep-
resentatives Carpenter, Democrat, of
Kansas and Brewster, Republican, Of
Maine-to railroad" the bill out Of
the subcommittee.
Cries of I appeal and "a point of
order" we're ringing in Palmlsanos
ears as he disappeared out OF the
door, and when he failed to return
Carpenter and Brewster decided to
order a favorable report on the bill
But whether their action will stand
furnishes a neat parliamentary Ques-
ton, which probably will be decided
at the next meeting of the full Dis
trict Committee when Carpenter and
Brewster make an effort to report the
measure.
DilIatory Tactics Charged.
The trouble started at the very
outset of the hearing when Palmisano
walked into the committee room and
found Carpenter and Brewster. two
strong supporters of the more liberal
lied divorce bill waiting. Palmisano.
incidentally, had previously been
charged by Carpenter with dillatory
tactics in handling the bill, and he
sensed a two-to-one vote against him.
If you are going to try and railroad
this bill I want to know it," he de-
clared.
The only answer was motion by
Carpenter to limit the discussion TO
IS minutes. after which a vote would
be taken on the question of reporting
the measure favorably. The motion
was adopted because Carpenter and
Brewster voted for it. and the other
three members of the subcommittee
were absent.
But at the conclusion of the 35-
minute discussion Palmisano played
his trump card. Mrs. Elizabeth Sui
Ivan, active District civic worker, was
on the witness stand when Brewster
made a move to interrupt her testi-
mony.
You're not going to railroad this
thing in this method" Palmisano re-
iterated. The committee is ad-
journed."
Motion Declared Not Made.
Carpenter protested that a motion
to adjourn had not been made.
II have followed the rules" replied
Palmisano. You gentlemen can do
as you please. I have already said
the committee is adjourned
Il appeal from that decision"
shouted Carpenter, but by that time
Paimisano was going through the door.
Carpenter and Brewster then went
into huddle, and a minute or two
later both announced they had reached
a decision to report favorably the
liberalized divorce bill that passed the
Senate several months ago as a subSti-
tute for a similar measure that
Carpenter sponsored in the House.
Even after Carpenters attention had
been called to the parliamentary

LEESBURG, Va, July 2.-Old Tom
QueSenberry. the Dead-Eye Dick Of
Virginias hills, fidgeted in his chair
in the court house here today when
Clyde Saunders, supervisor Of the State
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board,
said the Bible-spouting moonshiner
fired the shot which killed Clarence
McClary. Alexandria policeman, the
night of March II.
Saunders was smoothly dressed and
groomed, in marked contrast to the
three witnesses who preceded him on
the stand, and told a graphic story Of
the events which led to Quesenberry' s
arrest and his indictment on a charge
of f1rst-degree murder.
Saunders was q member Of huge
posse which combed the thickly
wooded still, studded hills seven miles
from here the day after George G.
Kirkpatrick, revenue agent and tradi-
tional enemy of the hill billy moon"
makers, was shot in the breast by a
still operator ambushed behind a stack
of barrels.
Certain of Identity.
After an all-night search the lead
ers of the posse gathered behind a
barn, Saunders said. Three hundred
yards away the Searchers quarry was
firing occasional shots.
Gould you identify the man firing
the shots?" asked John Galleher, spe-
cial prosecutor for the case.
Eyes, 1t was Tom Quesenberry."
The members of the posse were all
armed with service revolvers except
Policeman Halves of Alexandria, who
had a rifle, Saunders continued:
'McClary took the rifle because
Halves was winded from running up
and down hills; he started to fire
three or four shots at Quesenberry,
who was behind tree.
"Quesenberry moved behind a big
rock. With him was a little white
dog which followed him everywhere;
McClary stepped out from behind the
barn into the open, I heard three
shots from behind the rock; at the
third shot McClary grabbed his side
and hollered:
Hes got me. get him"
Saunders chin quavered and his
eyes dimmed with tears as he spoke of
finding the bullet wound in McClary's
abdomen and the sudden death of his
friend.
One-eyed Tom squirmed in his chair
as Saunders spoke. This was the first
testimony offered directly bearing on
the shooting of McClary. Paul Alex
ander. deputy sheriff of Loudoun
County; kirkpatrick and j. p. Kerlin,
sheriff of Prince William County, all
of whom were in the man hunt, con-
nected Quesenberry with the shooting
of the revenue agent but had nothing
to offer about the murder of McClary.
As the trial opened, Quesenberry
wept as he heard his counsel describe
him to the jury which may send him
to the chair as kindly, mild-man-
nered. soft-spoken Virginian."
