Kdward E. Britton in The Now* and
Obacrrar
Washington, April It—There is to
he no back tracking on Democratic
principle* in Use Houae of Reprcaen
taUres under the leadership of Claude
Xitchin of North Carolina. That
fighter for ttsr tenet* of the party
did not even deed hit minority report
on the emergency tariff legislation to
show that ha meant bualnvsa whan
h* declared that the purpose of the
Republicans waa to pass some tariff
meaaait under whip and apur that
would be of banaflt to the special in
teract. And h# struck blow after
blow when in the minority report
ho sbowad the fallacy of the position
taken by the Republicans, that it was
a (mod and a snare which they were
practicing upon the American peo
ple when they argued that it would
benefit that groat body of the peo
nlo. * •
• .This afternoon the Democrats of
thr Bouao caucus sod upon the mot
's tar, aid the position haratafore out
Hnod by Congriosiasn Kitchln was tn
daraad la the fotleat degrro. Tho
edacas was In aaaaion for a long time
and there was much dabate on the
mat!* of tho omorgency tariff bill

- it is ia tha language of 'Congresoaea
Kite his, by wham it was offered, and
reads)
Kitsbda Resolution Adapted
‘‘Resolved, First, that the Demo
■ citts of tho Ho us* la caucus assemb
led reaffirmed tha traditional policy
of the Democratic party ia favor of
a‘tariff for revenue only;
“Resolved, Second, that the Demo
crats of the Home are hereby instruc
ted to oppose and vote against the
Young omorgency tariff MIL"
Tha minority report that Congress
man Kltehin reported when the Re
publican endorsement of tho Young
amenrtney tariff bill was reported to
tho House today la a trumpet call
• to tha democracy to adhere to the
faith of tho fathers of democracy. In
R Hr. Kitcbla did w>t spare words
ia denunciation of the policy of the
Republican party and tha false lights
R held out to the American people.
It b m strong a report. It is so full
of the fundamentals of the Democra
tic doctrine on tho tariff that I hope
that Democratic papers will print it
in fall
in ou protest against tne proposed
Republican emergency tariff bill he
declared that the principles and poli
ties of the Democratic party for a
h^idnrd yean foibsde Democratic
approval of tho bill and impelled them
• to vigorously protest its passage.
“Soch an approval,” be declared,
“wooId bo an urgent invitation to
the fsmtors of the country especially
of the West and South to go bodily
Into tho Republican party—the party
of prpteetive robbery—as the only
moons of their future salvation. ‘And
ho showed that tho rates proposed are
higher than ths Dinglsy set gave, or
tho Fuyno-Atdrich set which the Re
publican platform of 1012 declared
were too high, rates even higher than
any ever mads Into law, highs?
rates than in any tariff bill in all the
world in a civilised country la ths
last 280 year*.
Fried Upoa Tho Former

(By Carlisla Rowland |
On tha evening of April tbe 8th,
the old and melancholy High Bahool
building was chnrqtifd into a haven
of joy and frivolity. This miracle
wa*. wrought by tho tenth grail*, who
gave a recaption in honor of tha Se
nior Class. The annual Junior-Senior
reception has ever been hailed a* tho
most important event of tha school
year, and thia was no exception.
No pains had been spared In the
execution of an elaborate color
scheme in th« lower hall, where the
first part of the evening was spent
The nail was beautifully decorated
with evergreens and moss, wfaich
formed a background for the color
schema of pearl gray and lavs lid cr- -
the (Junior Class colors. Beautiful
long lanf pines lent an air of dignity
u> the teens. A place pf no little pro
minence was held by n huge bowl of
punch over which presided fear
charming young ladles: Misses Rosa
lie Goldstein, Christine Thompson,
Magdalen* Smith and Margarst Pope,
who served the delirious fluid with
queenly grace.
The guests spent a pleasant hour
In progressive conversation. Music
pealed from the auditorium and the
guesti were ushered In, where an
other delightful surprise awaited
them. The whole sceng had a du
tllng effect of completeness and
beauty. This pleasing picture eras at
tained by using the gold and black.
Tke walla were artistically decorated
with a lattice-work of tha same col
jors, alto crap# ntbom were suspend
ed (yom the ceiling to the chandrliera
room. Tho room was Illuminated by
cokirn-shaded electric light* which
•bed a radiant glow upon the eeene.
Pines and potted plants wvre placed
boro and there.
Tabla Beautifully Decors tod
In the middle of the gruel auditor
ium was a banquet table of magnifi
cent proportions and in the shape of
a huge cross, which rxteaded almost
the entire length of the room. The
tahle was tastefully decorated ia ev
ergreens, and candles with shades of
gold and Mack east their flickering
rape upon the table.
The menu consisting of:
Chicken Salad on Lettuce
Sal tines Pimento-Cheese
Oliva Sandwiches
presented a very appet „ mw._
•nee indeed. Sevan charming young
ladies fn who
wgr^Are blaipt.
They were: Eleanor Hatcher,' fenth
Young, Emily Netrtterry, Emily
Grantham, Ilelcn Vaughn, Lucille
Thompson, and Kathleen Holland.
When the guests wore mated, Earle
Westbrook, president of the Junior
Class, and toastmaster for the occas
igr, arose sad delivered a short, ins
prqtslvc speech of welcome to the
guests
After a short intermission, daring
the tide of faestmg was high, the
toastmastCY announced a second toast
“To th# ones wo love beet—Our St
niors," which was proposed by lliit
Lucy Pope. The response was given
by John Clifford, president of the
Senior Class. Bpth the toast and the
response were well rendered. An ori
ginal toast was next proposed by
Worth Wade. The* ardent tribute
which he paid the faculty produced
a profound impression upon his and),
race .which was shown by the hearty
applause.
The response, which was made by
Min Worth empoon, was equally trail
rendered. Her words carried a deep
conviction, the significance of which
could be understood best by High
School pupils.
A Toast T. The School
After a short inlennisiton; during
which chocolate and orange Ice cream
ws» Krv«v in piniii giviai, mm
B««aic Maaaengill proposed a toaat
to the school. All responded by rising
end tinging, "Long May She Lira,
Onr Dear Old Behool.” Mias Said
Daniel proposed a toaat to tho town,
which was answered by Casper War
ren. Mr. Warren’s response waa ta
the form of a short but intensely In
teresting talk, which ha concluded
with a toaat to tha school.
An impromptu toast to water waa
given by Mlaa Carroll—this was' es
pecially appropriate became the be
verage of tha evening waa the tame.
The teaat waa appreciated because
of its wit and the charming manner
in which it was given. The last toaat
of the evening, “To Our Country,”
was given by Mlaa Ipock She gave
“America for Mo,” by Honry Van
Dyke. Jo this toaat the guests rea
pondoflky tinging “America,” and
aa theWrelns of the song died out
they began to stake their departure.
One of the features of tha evser
ing was the vocal aelectlone rendered
by Miss Tusbeville, whose woUTmod
elated voice pleased her audience.
The reception waa a groat success.

Unofficial reports (-in the mission

the casket decked la white lilies stood
open to reveal tkt mortal remain* of
one beloved by moo and wocasn of
high estate in many parts of the na
tion, one peculiarly Asheville's own.
however, because of the yean of his
Ufa spent largely in the mountain
city he loved. Around the casket dea
cons and tmstess of tho church to
which Judge Pritchard belonged took
station as a guard of honor.
Numbered the vast audience
wore many notables who journeyed,
from distant cities to pay their last
respect to tho mas, who starting from
a simple mountain home, grow to be

All about the casket, the front of
the wide pulpit and even upon the!
futma^ all manner of floral lab
ana of cat flower., sprays, fenu. with
ribbons aiding In the conversion of
Uu background Into one of impress
