World.
JANiEs e. BAILEY.

James Z. Bailey, a Senator from
Tennessee, is one Of those men wLO
have won their way by naked
worth. Singularly modest and re-
firing in disposition, and without
the Snowy qualities which seem
almost necessary to attract popular
attention, it is a strong proof that
republican virtue is not dead in the
breasts of the people when they Sc
lect a public servant for his ability
and virtue.
James L. Bailey was born August
Is, 1922, near Clarksville, Tenn,
and was one of family of four sons
and one daughter. He comes of a
line of Scotch ancestry in which
Republicanism and Presbyterianism
are heritage. He is a descendant
of that Bailey of Jervis Wood who
was tried for these crimes and exc
cuted in the reign of James Ii. His
grandfather emigrated 10 North
Carolina, and his father, Charles
Bailey, was born in Sampson county
in that State. He removed to
Clarksville, Tenn, in early life and
was for forty years the clerk of the
circuit court of that county. Bailey's
mother was Mary Bryan, a native
OF Robertson county, Tenn. and the
daughter of James Ii. Bryan, a
farmer and q mGn of liberal educa-
ton. lie had been graduated at
Princeton in the days of the emf
nent DR.. WitherspoOn, and had
formed friendships then which last
ed through life. Among others he
kept up a close intimacy with Wylie
Blount, who was Governor of Ten
nesSee.
Bailey's mother was woman OF
ability and strong character. Fond
of books herself, she instilIed into
her children a taste for reading,
which, when nothing more, is one
safeguard at least to morality, sol
ace to sorrow and the sweet oblivion
from the cOntumely and wrongs OF
a cold world. Judiciously conducted,
as it was in Bailey's case, from
/ travels and biography to the weight
I ier matters of the law, it was tonic
and bracing regimen which built
/ him up from amusement to inquiry
and from inquiry to study. He was
a sickIy boy, delicate youth, and
I has only become robust since he has
passed middle life-intO the forties.
He attended the Clarksville Acad-
emy, a high school, where the usual
4 course OF Latin, Greek and mathe-
matics was taught. But the CHIEF
formative influence of his youth
! was due to the sedulOls care OF

TIE costliness Of crime is begin
ming to attract the serious attention
Of legislators. No inconsiderable
portion Of the burden Of taxation
results from this source. Our cum
brous and intricate appliances for
detection, arrest, trial and punish
ment Of criminals arc a heavy load
upon the productive labor of the
country. That this complicated and
costly mechanism might be greatly
siInpliiied and cheapened, without
impairing its efficiency, is the con-
clusion almost invariably arrived at
by those who study il attentlvely.
Indeed, there is a general and grow
ing impression that simpliiication
and consequent reduction of cost,
would add to the effectiveness Of the
system. 1t is time for our states
men and social philosophers to take
hold Of this question and effect the
needed reform. Quite too large q
proportion Of the producers daily
earnings Is taken from him on the
preteXt OF protecting him from his
criminal neighbors. - Hashia0tOn

extreme views or bitterness Of feel
ing, he treats whatever question
comes before him in a strictly judi
eial spirit. Without the prejudice
of early party afliliatibn, his views
coincide with the present attitude
of the Democratic party towards tile
country, and he gives it loyal and
decided support. But this would
not affect him in the slightest in
