The Nashville Banner of the 10th

Judge W. B. Reese, of Vanderbilt
University is something of a prophet,
though he lays no claims to that dis
tinction. A prophet in these modern
times is simply a man OF sense of
Judgment. Several years ago in a
chat with the Stroller, Judge Reese
predicted that in few years johnson
City would be known, everywhere as
one OF the: great iron centres of the
country, and if anyone will take the
trouble to investigate the matter he
will find that while Johnson City has
not yet achieved all that was claimed
ior 1t, 1t is making rapid strides to.
ward fulfilling the promise which
Judge Reese made for the town. john
son City is in the extreme eastern
part OF Tennessee and experts say
there is enough iron around about
there to supply the world. Capital.
lists everywhere are turning their at
tention toward this little, but rapidly
growing town, and its fame has spread
across the sea. Speaking of the
IRON business in East Tennessee re-
minds the Stroller to say that that
part OF the state is full OF undeveloped
wealth, coal, iron, marble, timber, cop.
per, zinc, slate, lithograph, stone, etc.
The capitalist who invests his money
there now will not have long to wait
for the returns.

RlPENED WHEAT.

We bent today DER coffined form,
And our tears fell softly down;
We looked our last ON the aged face,
With its smiles of peace, its patient grace,
And hair like silver crown
We touched our owl to the clay cold hands,
From LIES long labor at rest;
And among the blossoms white and sweet
We noticed bunch of golden wheat
CaSped close to the silent breast.
We know not what work her hands had found,
What rugged places her feet;
What cross was hers, what blackness of night
We saw but the peace, the blossoms white,
And the bunch of ripened wheat
AS each goes up from the field of earth,
Bearing the treasures of life,
God looks for some gathered grains of good
From the ripe harvest that shining stood,
But waiting the reapers knife.
Then labor well, that in death you CO.
Not only with blossoms sweet;
Not bent with doubt and burdened with fears,
And the dead, dry husks of wasted years,
But laden with golden wheat.

RESPECT FOR AUTHORITY.
A Duty Which the Intelligent Teacher
Owes to the Nation and His Pupils.

A Duty Which the Intelligent Teacher
Owes to the Nation and His Pupils.
Now that instruction in eivics is in
the air, may it not be in order to sug-
gest that a good point to begin is by
teachers, parents and all persons con-
nected with the instruction of children
and youth, persistently intoxicating the
duty of respect for men in public station,
until proved unworthy. with at least
decent fair play in the Judgment of the
character and services of public officials?
The standing abomination of our po-
litical press is its vulgar, wicked habit
of holding up political opponents to the
moral condemnation of every BODY. as
not only wrong in their political policy,
but unworthy of personal respect. No
man in Washington to-day in high Office
is exempt from this foul smirching of
character and conduct by journals OF
great influence, widely read, and edited
by men who would resent a refiecticn Of
the same kind on themselves as a deadly
personal insult. OF course the well-in-
formed dismiss this wretched twaddle
for what it is worth, but the mischief
comes lower down. Every bright
American boy or girl reads thu news
papers, and it is almost impossible to
mention the name of an eminent
statesman in a company of smart young
sters without hearing the epithets so
freely banded about in the newspapers
applied even in more positive way
than by their grown instructors. What
is to be hoped of a generation coming
up to responsible citizenship with this
contempt for public men and unbelief
in official honesty? If it be said that
there is much to justify this feeling, we
reply that the present low tone of public
life is largely the result of this habit of
indiscriminate abuse and uncharitable
Judgment. Thousands of our most capa-
BILE men are kept out of public life by
the unwillingness to face this fire of
scathing invective, leaving important
places to be filed by the political hack
with hide impervious to assault. The
worst of it is that the journals that
assume to represent the higher culture
are often the most cynical, intolerant.
and reckless in their dealing with char
acter and reputation. Let us begin at
at the beginning, and teach children
respect for authority, with charity, JUS
tice and moderation in dealing with the
character, which is the most precious
treasure of every man who serves the
Standardization.
