I regret to say that it was one of the dirtiest I know of and there are a few things that came up that I would like to have your advise me on. "I have been reliably Informed that at several of the precincts. both liquor and money were used freely. In fact. I have understood that at one of the precincts, two parties were arrested and have made sworn afildarts that they were given liquor and money. "One of the parties states that he knows of several voters treated as he was. I have understood further that men were carried to the polls so drunk that it was necessary for them to be -bodily supported.

In fact I have understood and am free to say that I believe It: that if the operatives refused to vote as the pres ident and superintendent directs. they are promptly dismissed. "The same precinct counted the votes with closed doors and would not make kapwn the result. until certain other results -had been an nounced.

One of them was kill ed by a shot fired straight through his head. His adversary escaped. leaving no clue to ~ his Identity. The strange battle was seen, as far as learned by only one witness. Ian automobilist, who was speeding down the street on his way to his uptown home. By the light of his Sautomobile lamp, though two blocks away, he saw the two men step out from a hallway, measure off a cer tain number of paces and then turn -quickly, revolvers in hand.. There were three quick shots and one of the combatants fell. The other. throwing down the weapon. dashed back Into the hallway and made his escape. The automobilist quickly called the police, but the patrolman found nothing but the corpse and the two revolvers. The dead man has not been Identinied. * PLAGUE OF ISLAYI)ERS.

Eope Demanded Assurance That the ex-President Would Not Visit the Hateful Methodists. A dispatch from Rome says now that Mr. Roosevelt has made public the documents which the Vatican had considered confdential. Cardinal Merry del Val. Papal ' 'ary of State. wishes the entire nistory of the nerotiations for the audience. which the former President sought of Pope Pius X to be known. Car dinal Merry del Val is credited with the responsibility for the Vatican's part in the matter. and the following may be accepted as his version: *Foliowing the exchanges between Mgr. Kennedy and American Ambas sador Irishman and Mr. Roosevelt's decision net to be received under the terms imposed, John Callon O'Lough lin. who was assistant Secretary of State in 1909. and a personal friend of M1r. Roosevelt. called upon Cardi nal Merry del Val. bearing an intro duction from Mgr. Falconlo. Apostol ic delegate in the United States. Im mediately after being introduced to the presence of the Cardinal Mr. O'Loughlin said: "'I do not come in the name of Mr. Roosevelt, but on my own ac count, as an American Catholic."" Cardinal Merry del Val said "Then what are we here for. It is useless to discuss the matter. If you do not represent Mr. Roosevelt you cannot make any arrangement or speak for him." Mr. O'Loughlin replied: "Wihat I consider important is to tell your eminence that if the two dispatches sent by Mgr. Kennedy are rtracted. I can assure you that Mr. Roosevelt will accept your audience.' Cardinal Merry del Val said. "I will not discuss Mr. Roosevelt's right. but give me confdential as surance that de facto. Mr. Roosevelt will not go to the 'Methodists and the audience will occur." Mr. O'Loughlin refused to give this assurance. The Cardinal the: said: "Mr. Roosevelt is free to go tc the Methodists and do whatever he chooses, but the Pontiff is certainIy free not to receive a man who would claim the right to insult him on th4 day after having been received b3 him or perhaps on the same day, as according to your statement he ma leave Rome on the same day of thf Papal audience, thus having only be tween Noon and evening Tuesday i1 which to see the Nethodists. "It is of little consequence wheth er he is a Catholic. Protestant. Is raelites or Buddhist. All religioni persons merit Lhe same esteem. Tb important thing is to be honest an< sincere. So far as the form of be lief is concerned I believe that al honest people will be always on goo< terms with God." METHODIST BISHOP'S COmfIET1 Says the Methodists Are Not In This case. At Cincinnati. Ohio. Bishops Ear Cranston and John Wale Walder.. o the Methodist Episcopal Churoh. comn menting sharp'y on the Vatican't position regarding Col. Roosevelt' abandoned visit Bishop Cranstot said: "It seems that the Vatican accepta nothing short of absolute submisslon including tne yielding up of one' cial privileges and religious and patriotic fellowships. "Americanism is worth more tc the world than Papal assumption, an4 it is the spirit of Americans that 11 now again put under ban by the Pope. No honeyed words for thi public can change that fact. Thi Methodists are not in this case." Bishop Walden said that two mon umental blunders had been commit ted by the present Pope. He declar ed that Pope Leo was "far too wise o. have been guilty of the errors of Pope Pius." "But." he added. "it is not, atfe: all the Methodist Church which has its bristles out, but the Roman Cath olic church. The Miethodist church has not been Injured In the least. We are more used to the Insults and attacks of Rome. perhaps, than any other denomination, owing to the fact that we have been active in many countries which are peculiarly Ro man. It is our success which has aroused Rome and made her lift her bristles. If we had not been successful: if Methodism was not a vital, powerful force where we hav* planted it, we would hear n'othing from Rome." SCALDED BY STEAM.

Says the Pope is the Bitter Foe of Freedom Rev. B. M. Tipple. pastor of the American Methodist church in Rome, after beng received by Mr. Roose velt. issued a statement expressing the greatest satisfaction that the ex President did not have an andence with the Pope. "Wihile the work of Methodism in PBome," says the statement, "started the rumpus, it ds no longer 'Metho dism or any other ism, but the great - principle of toleration. Mr. Itose velt has struck a blow for twentieth century Christianity." "The representatives of two great Republics have been the ones to put 1 the Vatican where it belongs.' Prsi fdent Loubet refused to accede to - Vatican conditions, and now Mr. SFalrbanks and Str. Roosevelt come to a maintain the same dignity and inde a pendance of American manhood in the face of Vatican tyranny. S"The Vatican is Incompatible with ,Republican principles.

I wonder how many doses of this sort they will take before they revolt? is Catholic. lam in America to be American or | Roamish, if Romish, then every pa. triotic American should rise to crush it, for Roman Catholicism is the un compromising foe of freedom. "Aflter the Fairbanks episode the |Methodists never dreamed that the iVatican would commit a similar blun der with Mr. Roosevelt. That it has done, so is added proof that the pol icy prevailing there is the same yes. terday, today and forever. The Vat -ican is the Vatican. The world ad vances, but the Vatican never.

Should Pull Together. Faction spirit is the curse of many towns. It causes ill feeling, divides the people into hostile camps and ef ectually prevents progress of any kind. Doubtless each faction sin cerely wants to see the place flourish. but the spirit ot jealousy and oppo sition is so keen that whatever one side proposes. however rood the proposition itself may be. the other side is sure to oppose It. The one *thing needful is to bury all such bit. ter and irrational feeling out of sight, to consider every plan for bet terment on its merits, and for all to work with an eye single to the we! ftre of the community. - ' Killed by Train.

In a statement issued Wednesday frn .Manning by John Adams,.-one of the negro attorneys in the Pink Franklin case, it is denied that Ex Attorney General Boanaparte of the United States has aided in the prep aration of the case. The statement has not been signed or approved by Jacob Moorer of Orangeburg. Adams' associate counsel. The following is the statement that was given out as the result of the story carried by the Associated Press with regard to the Franklin case. .' "From newspaper reports for the past month it would appear to the public that the Franklin case has been turned ovier to ex-Attorney Gen eral Bonaparte. Such an impression is an Injustice to the two colored lawyers who have run the case for the last three years and should be corrected. "The only lawyers of authority in this case are John Adams and Jacob Moorer. and absolutely all th work done in the case up to this time has been accomplished by themi The brief filed by Mr. "Bonaparte in the case has not been considered nor seen by Franklin's lawyers. From what I can glean from the papers the race question is made a part of Mr. Bonaparte's brief and this will by no means be allowed In the case. We have not carried this case to the supreme court Vs a ne gro case but as that of a citizen of South Carolina. "The brief that has been ,filed by John Adams and Jacob Moorer is a discussion of cold principles, of law and in no manuer seeks sympathy because Franklin is a negro. The law is wrong and we say so. "The premature announcement and employment of Mr. Bonaparte is the work of a few over hot-headed n. groes of Philadelphia who have ab solutely no authority to take any step In the work. "If the Franklin case works any credit to the defendant, Franklin, and the negro race it will be the work of two negro lawyers, John Adams and Jacob Moorer. If Mr. Bonaparte appears in the case it will be done after a thorough agreement with the original lawyers and up to this time we have not agreed to any thing."

'An unsuccessful attempt was made early Friday morning to hold up the Pioneer Limited on the Chicago, MiI waukee and St. Paul railway, be tween 'lomah and Oakdale, Wis. The robbery was frustrated through the courage of Conductor Shaumway. -As the conductor stepped from the buffet car on to the platform of the sleeper, two masked men sprang up from the edge of the platform and thrusting revolvers intio his face, de manded 'that he throw up his hands. Shumway promptly struck one of the men down with his lantern and as passengers began to crowd to the door of the buffet car the two high waymen leaped from the train and fed. Shot after shot was fired after them, but presumably without effect. as when the train was brought to a stop and search was made by a has tily formed posse no trace could be found on the men.* HANGED AT PICKENS.

We read a story a short time ago of some men that were overhauling some household gobds that had been stored a long time. in fact such a long time that the identity of the owner or owners had been lost. They were tossing the things about Ir a careless manner until when th-owing a small box aside it came open and out rolled a pair of baby's shoea fol lowed by some tiny ribbons and wear Ing apparel. The men all stopped work and looked at the package in silence. One man quietly stooped down and picked them up and one by one restored the articles to the box and again fastened it. It called to his mind a little pair of baby shoes which were safely tucked away in a d-rawer at home, he and his wife had placed there many years ago. While doing this a silent tear trickled down his cheek as he thought of the missing one and what perhaps those pair of little shoes and baby relics meant to the mother and fath er, who had packed them away so tenderly and treasured them so high ly. It might have been those worn by an absent daughter or son, who had perhaps gone away, done well or bad and forgotten the old folks and more especially the mother. or father had never for a minute banished them from minds. It might have been all of the remem brance of an erring son or daugh ter. They were dear to their parents and' this father's heart turned to the absent ones, as he thought of his own and packed them away again. Mother Shipton's Prophecy. Away back In 1845 the'famous old Mother Shipton's prophecy made its appearance. It reads as follows. Carriages without :horse shall go. And accidents fill tl, world with woe. Around the world thoughts shall By, In the twinkling of an eye. Waters shall more wonders do. Now strange, yet shall be true, The world upsidedown shall be. And goad be found at root of tree. Through hills man shall ride. And ne. horse nor ass be at his side. Under water men shall walk. Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk. In the air men shall be seen; In white, in black. in green. Iron in the water shall float As easy as a wooden boat. Gold shall be found mid stone, In a land that's now unknown. Fire and water shall wonders do, England at last admit a Jew; And this world to an end shall come In eighteen hundred and eighty-one. -It will be noticed that Mother Ship ton predicted the invention of the automobile, the telegraph, the sub marine boat, flying machines, and iron -boats. none of which were in ex istence when her prophecy was writ ten. But she made-a bad miss as to the world coming to an end. This however, is one subjct that has fooled a great many prophets and we will have to excuse Mother Ship ton. Weather Breeders. 'Most sections of the country have had an unusually fine March. Warm. genial sunshine and absence of high winds have been in pleasant contrast to the average March weather. Yet there are peopN who have Dot got any reel pleasure out of the beautiful weather nor taloen advantage of it to get a proper amount of out door work done. And all because they have 3oudly proclaimed that the fine days and nights were a "weather breder." What If such conditions had prov' ed a "weather breeder.", what good would worrying over it have done? It could not have changed the weath er in even tble smallest degree. Meterological conditions are not in the least affected by our disposition. It simply goes to show what a lot of :nnecessary trouble some people do bring upon themse'lves. That same tendency is seen when other matters besides "weather breeders" are con cerned and It simply means that there are a lot of persons in this world who seem to enjoy making themsel ves miserable. That may seem a contradiction but it is a fact all the same. Instead of anticipating trou ble, much of which ntever comes. let everyone instead of fretting and hav ing gloomy forebodings, get the best good out of all the pleasant things that life affords us. Indignant Republican. Calling President Taft a "hot sup per artist." R. D. Andrews, a wealthy manufacturer of Lee. Mass., offers to bet $10,000 that Mayor Gaynor,! f New York. will be the next pres-~ ident of the United States, barring death. "The country is tired of Taft and taffy." said. Andrews. "Every oe of the conservative republicans s disappointed in Taft.

Who Will Be Among the People for the Purpose in about the Next Ten Days. The arrangements are rapidly be ing concluded for taking the census. which will start in about ten days. We have :4ollshed the names of the enumerators and they are therefore known to the people generally. Sup ervisor DuPre make the request that the people will meet the enumerators in the proper spirit and furnish the desired information. President Taft has issued a proclamation requesti"g cooperation on the part of the pub lic that the census may be complete and correct. The census enumerator will ask the following questions: What Is your house number? What is your name? The names of the members of your family? What is the relationship of these people to you? How old are you? Are you -ingle, married, widowed or divorced? How long have you been married. if at all? How many children have you? Where were you born? Where was your father born? Your mother? low long have you been in this country? Are you naturalized? Can you speak English. if not what can you speak? What is your occupatiom Are you employed or an employ er? Were you out of work April 15, 1910. How long were you out of work in 1909? Can you read and write? Do you own or rent. your home? Any mortgage? Are you a survivor of the Union or Confederate navy or army? Are you blind. One or both eyes? Are you deaf'or dumb? April 15 will witness the inaugur atien of the thirteenth census of the United States and on that date an army of about 68.000 census takers will begin their work. Each one of these census takers will be armed with a badge by which "ye may know them" and you may have no hesitancy in telling them the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Should there be any further questions as to their credentials each one of them will be provided with a certificate of appointment and those who think he is not the real goods naay request him to show even that.* UNCLE SAM'S (0OK BOOK.

The audience wbich it was believ ed ex-President Roosevelt would have with the Pope on Tuesday last did not take place, owing to conditions which the vatican had imposed and which Mr. Roosevelt refused to ac oept. When at Gondokoro In February last, Mn. Roossvelt wrote to ~Am basmador Leishman saying he would be glad of the honor of an audience with King Victor Emmanuel an' the Pope. The audience with the king was proimptly arranged. Before an arrangenent could be reached rela tive to an audience with the Pope, several telegrams were passed, and the negotiations were ended by Mr. Roosevelt refusing in any way to )o limited as to his conduct, and an nouncing that an audience with the Pope under the circumstances was now impossible. The history of the negotiatio3 Is about as follows: While 4t Cairo, Mr. Roosevelt re eeived the following telegram irgm, Ambassador Leishman, dated March' 23rd: "Monsignor ennedy, rector of the Amercan, Catholic college, in reply2. to an inquiry which I caused to be made, requests that the follc-ing communication be transmitted to "'The. Hony Father will be de lighted to grant an audlence to Mr. Roosevelt on April 5. an! hopes rba nothing will arise to preve- r i, such as the much regretted 'acadent which made the reception of Mr. Fairbankas Replying by cable to Ambassador Leishman on March 25, Mr. Roosevelt said: "Please present the fel'&wfng to Monsignor Kennedy: "It would fe a real pleasure to me to be presnted to the Holy Father, for whom I en tertain high respect. both personafly. and as the head of a grea' church. I fully recognize his entire right to receive or not receive wh.:.nsoeve he chooses, for any reason th e. seems good to him, and If he does aotre ceive me I shall not for a moment question the propriety of his ac4nu. On the ther hand. I. In my turu, must decline to make any stipulatf.ms or submit to any conditions which In any way would limit my freedom of condnet. I trust that on April 5 he will find it convenient to receive me." - -- On March 28, Mr. Roosevelt, at Cairo, received a cablegram fromn Ambassador Leishman giving a mes sage from Monsignor Kennedy, which concludes by saying: "The andience cannot take place except on the nderstanding express ed in the former message." The following day Mr. Roosevelt - sent another message to the Amer ican ambassador, saying: "The proposed presentation is. of course, now impossible." The determination of Mr'. Roose velt to forego an audience with Pope Plus X rather than subscribe to the eonditions imposed by the Vatican has created a sensation. This in tldent oiershadows every other fes ~ure of the distinguished American na his visit to the Eternal City. Tlwo distinguished Americans, each recognized leader in his own po itical party, are visiting foreign ~onntries, and everywhere they have net with a reception so sincere and ,ordial that it has been gratifying liike to the individuals themselves Lnd to the nation of which in a very eal sense, they are actual represen aives. Roosevelt and Bryan are yvpical Americans. In their talent, trenrth of conviction and fidelity to rinciple: in their scorn of all sham nd hyprocisy: in their ability to roperly express themselves in pab ic speech, and in the tactful consid ration they have shown to other eoples in their travel, they reflect - be very best that is i:a ouir Ameri an life.
