The Seventeenth annual session of the Na tional Council Daughter of Liberty convened here Tuesday. Every na tional officer was present at the open ing of the session. The following interesting informa tion is taken from the report of the national secretary, W. O. Staples: Number of councils to date, 298; 85 having been Instituted and 21 dissolved during the year. Total membership at this date, 19,224, comprising 13,951 sisters and 5,272 brothers, which shows a net increase of 3,511 during the year. Of the male members, 2,582 belong to the O. U. A. M. and 2,6110 to the Jr. O. U. A. M. The 298 councils are distributed through 22 states, Pennsylvania lead ing with 119, Connecticut being next with 30, Ohio 23, Massachusetts 22, New York 20, New Jersey 18, New Hampshire 17, Rhode Island 12; the balance scattered. The election of officers created a sur prise. G. H. Burton, of New York, who ha held the office of national treasurer for years, was defeated by W. V. Edkins, of Pennsylvania. For the second time in the history of the order a woman wa elected a national officer. Sadie Griboen, of Pennsylvania, was elected national vice councilor.

In our issue of the 17th Inst, we re printed an article from the Boston Citizen, ln which it was stated that Gustavus Vasa, king of Sweden, was assassinated by Jesuits in 1500. We have since been Informed by a clergy man in Altona, 111., that Gustavus Vasa died a natural death, and on look ing the matter up we find the reverend gentleman 1 evidently right. We therefore make the correction, as we do not wish to make any statements wittingly that cannot be substantiated. pot on the tlckot" J.Johnson Wilson, for auditor, has the advantage of not being known outside of a few personal friends, while D.

Kent, for commis sioner of publio lands and buildings, and W. A Jones, for superintendent of publio instruction, may both be excel lent men, but they are at a disadvant age they are unknown. The platform they adopted Is the one we commended so highly during a former campaign, and is one all Americans can stand upon to support which they must contribute voluntarily a certain amount agreed upon." The publio schools of America are endorsed in Article XIX. It declares As those who have formed trA flrat.

This is the same old falsehood the one it has uttered every year for twenty years, except when its editor succeeded in putting his collar on the nominees, then the people have been wise In their selec tions. Because the republicans have grown weary of Rosewater's dictator ship and have nominated a man he has pursued and vilified for years It does not follow that they are controlled by "corporation cappers."

He should also check his appointees when they stray from the path which sub serves the welfare of the public.
