 The New Years ball may do some-
 thing to settle the veXed question of
 bouquet or no bouquet. At the dances
 thus far given few girls have carried
 flowers, but the bouquet, when used
 has been ono of many dollars. That
 which Miss s;chreiner held in her hand
 on the night of the first Assembly was
 said to have cost sl00. ard her Fatri-
 arch bouquet last week was certainly
 not cheaper. If items of this sort are
 to be added to tho necessary eXpendi- ture for a ball gown. there are many
 peres de famille who would vote with out hesitation against the posy.

THE REV. THOS, DIXON.

Something About the Preacher Who Is
Stirring New York.
I listened to the Rev. Thomas Dixon. Jr.,
last Sunday and heard what he had to say
about Sunday newspapers, says CORE
spondent OF tbs New York World. At one
time Tom Dixon possessed little
spice of wickedness, but as God
moves in a mysterious way His Won
ders to perform, I think Tom is
growing in grace and has literally been
born again in spiritual sense. He is a
preacher after my own heart, for he says
the newspaper Sunday edition) was not
born of hell. Payson Dixon u.s. 1 think.
second pemosthenes. He can break in on his
text with amusing anecdotes enough to make
one forget every worldly care. As an orator
he is sui generis. Take my word for it, he
will soon start religion of his own. Then
Hugh Pentecost will be among forgotten
things. Tom is an exclamation point in APP
pearance, and he is not much for good looks,
but when it comes to what know of what
| am talking about" he can discount Sam
Jones. He possesses keenness of observa-
ton and reasoning and depth of rugged
originality. He declares that he has read
i'll Plato and Cicero sayings that are very
wise and beautiful, but he has never read
in either of them: Come unto me, We that
are weary, and heavy laden, and will give
you rest" Mr.. Dixon is socialist of the
highest type, and believes in humanity
there exists the clean and the unclean.
This young pulpit orator was born in
Cleveland county, N. c., in 1864, His father
IS Baptist minister, and is quite noted in
his state. Thomas was educated at Wake
postgraduate course at Johns Hopkins uni
versity. Baltimore. He then studied elocu-
ton and dramatic art in New York CITY,
He returned to North Carolina, served in
the legislature, studied law and was ad-
mitted to the bar. Later he concluded to
enter the ministry and filled pastorates in
Goldsboro and Raleigh. He was then in
yited to Boston, where he preached to the
Dudley Street congregation for nearly
two years, attracting great attention by his
zeal and his oratory. He was then called to
the Twenty third Street Baptist church of
this city.
Mr.. Dixon thinks the newspapers are the
creates educators, sacred and secular. He
says that they give an interpretation of
human nature that is beneficial and of in
terest. He believes that in mixing the
sacred and secular you will not fail to find
eternal life," and that will develope sunny
cheerfulness and strong good sense.
He describes woman's love, with all her
finely controlled emotions, as sweeter than
honey. He thinks that the press possesses the
opening mind which imparts influence
influence which moulds character and which
ought to govern man. His advice is to read
the Sunday papers, and whistle when YOU
feel like it. He positively declares that a
man can play "tiddle'' in church and 90 to
heaven when he dies. Unto the multitude
of his followers-and they are legion
he says:
By thine own souls law learn to live,
And if men thWart thee, take no heed:
And if men hate thee. have no care
Sing thou thy song and do thy deed;
Hope thou thy hope and pray thy prayer
And claim no crown they will not give

scales fallen f1om his eyes, will sweep
the republican party and its robber tar
if policy 'like chaff from the threshing
floor"

THE conservatism of the republican
party shrinks from the enactment Of the
proposed federal election law and many
republican newspapers OF the best type
urge the defeat of the measure in the
senate. The st. Paul Pioneer Press
warns its party that it cannot hope al
ways to retain power and that the in
strument it has fashioned to Cypress the
opposition may yet be used to plague
the inventor. 'Let the democratic par
ty'" it says, "fnd already on the statute
book a law of republican origin by which
it would be possible for the federal auth
critics to take possession OF federal cleo
tions and manipulate them at will, and
it is not difficult to see what the democ.
racy would do in such an event." But
this republican journal strikes at the
very root of the whole matter in this:
Any act which looks toward such cen
tralization that the expression of the popu-
lar will may be thwarted or nullifed by of
iicials responsible to the existing govern
ment means the degrading of this country
to the level of those nominal republics
where the rulers perpetuate their tenure,
and where change is wrought only at the
point of the bayonet. Thoughtful republic
cans ought to consider carefully what they
are about before they vote for such a change
as this, or spread net SO dangerous before
the feet of future generations. Patriotic as
are the motives that inspire the demand
for federal control of elections, the danger
of it is too patent, too vital and too serious
to be dismissed lightly. The republican
party could scarcely commit more ire
trieyable error than by seeking to redress
the grievances of the minority at the south
by legislation that would promise to make
majority or minority mere question of the
desire of the party in power. Bad as local
abuses may be, we cannot afford to root
them out of their native fields only by
transplnnting them to the mora fruitful
soil of the national capital.
The Minneapolis Journal, another re-
publican newspaper, condemns the bill
in equally strong terms and reflects the
views Of thousands of thoughtful repub-
lican readers in it's utterances. It is
pretty certain that the republican lead
ers III the senate will pause long before
giving their consent that such bill
shall become law.
