The malntenance of the light at Lobos Island by the navy is the last incident to which he makes objection but rather should he first consider the of his own act of ordering the diseontinuance of the lighthouses. There was no reason for such an order except to endanger the vessels of the “United States navy and all other ship- Pinig in those waters. It was a W, measure during an armistice and #fie landing of forces to keep the light burning was only a measure of safety on the part of this country as a pro- teotion"to its own vessels and those of other countries. It is simply an- other precautionary move. There is no aggressive act involved, the move in fact being made necessary by Huerta’s oWn order to extinguish and thereby provide an indirect menace to naviga- tion, It is tome he began to realize that doing as he pleases and making others do likewise is past. . PENNSYLVANIA’S PRIMARY. ‘Always a political hotbed the state of Pennsylvania is nothing else at the present time in view of the primary next Tuesday when the choice of party candidates will be made. The politi- cal situation of the recent past which gave the state to the progressives has undergone a wonderful change and in no better way is this indicated than by the astonishing primary enroll- ment. Throughout the entire state,_the return to the republican ranks is like a landslide. It is a record of steady growth in all counties and when it is shown that in Allegheny county alone the republican enroliment is 127,041, or more than the total vote cast by all parties there in 1912 and the pro- gressive strength’has dwindled from 50,000 to less than 10,000, it only in- dicates the change which has taken place throughout the state, L This renewal of interest in the re- publican party indicates a desire to get back into a party where an op- portunity is given to make the votes t. It is also attributable to the con- test which is already highly devel- oped between Penroselsm and anti- Penroseism within the party, this be- ing the occasion when the people make the nomination for the United States senate. The big registration thus re- veals a keen interest in that issue and #f remains to be seen whether the re- publicans of that state prefer the re- tention of Penrose or the choice of ex- Mayor Dimmick of Scranton. Unless ‘this return to the republican ranks is for the purpose of heiping in the over- throw it is likely to be revealed that the primary offers no greater resist- ance to the well oiled machlne than the convention did. The contest is at least going to furnish some excellent food for thought in that direction. -~ EDITORIAL NOTES.

Yearning for an opportunity to carry out his long cherished desire to Iiberate the colored slaves of the south and destroy the system of American slavery, Capt. John Brown—or “Old’ Osawafomie Brown.” as he was fa- mitarly called—had disclosed his plans to a few confiding sympathizers dur- ing a conference keld by them in Can- ada in May, 1858. They selected Harper's Ferry, Va., as the most avail- able strategic point to strike the first blow. 4 At the time Brown was 60 years of ago. Shortly after this Canadian con- ference Brown, with two of his sons, appeared in the vicinity of Harper's Ferry, and under the assumed name of Smith rented a small farm in Mary- land, a few miles from the ferry, for the purpose of making the necessary observations and maturing plans for the final movement. Here were grad- ually collected a small quantity of arms and ammunition and a body of twenty-iwo men, of whom seventeen were whites and five colored. At about 10 o'clock on the evening of Oct. 16, 1859, the first act of the invasion was to be performed. The watchman on the Potomac bridge was seized and made prisomer. Almost simultaneously the government arm- ory buildings, containing a large quan- tity. of arms, were quietly taken pos- session of. Shortly after midnight a small party of the invaders went to the house of Col. Lewis Washington, a farmer and owner of many slaves, aroused him from his bed, arrested him and told his slaves they were free. A similar visit was made to other prominent residents of the ferry. A number of shots were fired and sev- eral were mortally wounded. Intelligence of the affair was speed- ily communicated by railroad and messenger to all the neighboring towns and military companies soon began to make their appearance. At about noon some Charlestown troops arrived and during the rest of the day sol- | diers poured into Harper’s Ferry from as far as Washington. The armory in which Brown and most of his party had taken refuge was attacked and soon they were ail brought out and placed under arrest. An indictment of treason and mu der was immediately found against Brown by the Virgina authorities and | until the time of rigorously guarded. As the prisoners demanded to be tried separately, the authorities elect ed to try Brown first. He asked for a delay on account of his severe wounds; but -this was refused, and the case began Oct. 26, in Charlestown, Va. Brown was unable to sit and he lay upon a mattress. The trial three days, and Brown was found guilty upon all the charges and sen- tenced to be executed om Dec. 2. As the jury came in with their ver- dict the dense crowd was moved and agitated with intense expectancy The only calm and unruffled countenance there was that of the doomed man. It was late and the gas lights gave an almost deathly pallor to his face. On being asked why sentence should nof be passed upon him, said in a voice singularly mild and gentle: “In the first place, I deny every- thing but what I have all along ad mitted—the design on my part to free the ‘slaves. I intended, certainly, t have made a clean thing of that mat. ter. That was all I intended. I never did intend murder, or treason, or the destzuction of property, or to excite or incite slaves to rebeliion, or to make insurrection “1 belleve that to Interfere as I have done, as I have always freely ad- mitted I huve done, was not wrong, but right.

I submit: so let it be done The day appointed for the exeeution Brown walked out of the fail with a radiant counterance and the step of & conqueror. With an unfaltering step he mounted the wagon which was to convey him to the scaffeld. He seated himself besides Capt. Avis, the jaiier, and Mr. adler, the under- taker, Acompanying WAgOn were several military companies—most cav- alry. When he was asked if he was ready when he had ascended the scaffold, he But do keep me needlessly waiting:” ‘Cook, Coppee, Copeland and Greene, Brown's companions, shared his fate, Dec, 16, and Stevens and Hasliit on March 16, The ‘other survivors had ! managed to escape. . lasted | e 3 e S R P B could never raise such an For Gays ana days he ‘bear the it Tmother Shouid 1le there Slane, ten.

One Monday morning he walked into the school room early and went straight to the teachers desk with a triumphant look wpon his face. “Say, teacher,” he announced, with a happy ring in his voice, “T hain't never goin’ to hook jack again. “Pm glad to hear it, Tommy.” con- gratulated his teacher. “But how did you come to make this decision? “*Coz it's done!” was the emphatic answer. “What's done?
