The Real David Crockett.


Mrs. Ibbie Gordon of GAINESVILLE,
Tex, VINO was born in 1906, was once
introduced to David Crockett. Describ-
ing the incident, she says: cit was in
the winter of 1884, not long after
Crockett had been defeated for congress
in Tennessee. We heard that Crockett
had crossed Red river, and fearing that
he might not come through GAINESVILLE,
but keep on the old Trammell trail, we
intended to meet him. Jane Latimer,
then girl of IS, rode behind me, and
Betsy Latimer followed on pony. We
overlook Crockett and his party at the
house Of Edward Deem, about four miles
from GAINESVILLE. 1t was early in the
morning, and when Mrs. Deem saw us
she said, Mrs. Clark, what in the name
of God brings you here at this time of
the day?' My horse brought me, I
answered, and then l told her I wanted
some breakfast. We went into the
house, and a friend, who had known
Crockett in Tennessee, introduced us.
Crockett was dressed like gentleman
and not as backwoodsman. He did
not wear COOIISklH cap. IL has always
disguised me to read these accounts OF
Crockett that characterize him as an
ignorant backwoodsman. Neither in
dress, conversation nor bearing could
he have created the impression that he
was ignorant or uncouth. He was a
man of wide practical information and
was dignifed and entertaining. His

senator is engaged in building up

long as senators are not elected by the
people this is an extremely effective
method of insuring reelection With
popular elections this power would be
lessened. but it would still be used to
secure nominations. Influential workers
would be bought by promises of office or
gifts of office. Just as legislators are now
purchased in the same way 1t is on ac-
count of this great power of patronage
that men of such inferior ability as
statesmen desire the office. To a party
boss the position is almost the acme of
political ambition. If this incentive were

MEND 1T OR END 1T.

The whole country will be rejoiced that
the house committee on election Of presi-
dent and vice-president has agreed to the
joint resolution of Mr.. Tucker of Vir-
ginia for an amendment to the constitu-
ton providing for the election of SEN
ators by the people instead of by the
state legislatures. 1t is a step in the
right direction. The only possible objec-
ton TO 1t is that ii does not go far
enough. There is one other feature that
should be added to it, and that is the
abolition of the confirming power 1t
is now conceded on all sides that our
senatorial system has become a failure.
1t has broken down on account of the
enormous power of political organization,
which was never contemplated by the
trainers of the constitution. The senate.
as now organized. is an apparent evil.
The serious question is how may it be
remedied and remedied effectively. To
remedy any evil the evil must first be
thoroughly understood and a very slight
examination of this question will show
that popular elections alone will not
cure the evil
One evident evil Of the senate as now
organized is it's lack Of sympathy with
the people. 1t is too far removed from
them. 1t is not in touch with them.
This would be removed to a large ex-
tent by popular elections. But another
equally evident evil is the manner in
which the senators are bound together
by senatorial courtesy" which means
practically that any senator may have
almost anything he likes in the way OF
legislation and patronage. provided he
stands by his fellow senators in the same
way. The result of this is that the SEN
ators control the federal patronage of
their districts. with the exception of
few crumbs thrown TO the represent
atives, and some conceded to the presi-
dent. The original idea Of confirmation
is entirely lost. 1t is no longer a re-
straint on the president against the
naming OF UNIT persons. IL has be-
come a means of compelling him to
name persons who suit the senators.

GIVE Us TARIFF REFORM.

AS an intimation of the feeling of the
democrats Of Indiana we would call the
special attention of Senators voorhees,
and Turpie to the following resolution
adopted by the Hendricks club of this
city at their meeting on Tuesday even
ing:
Whereas, IT is of vital Importance to
the welfare Of the democratic party of
Indiana that it's Representatives in con-
gress should fearlessly redeem the
pledges of the party by passing the Will
son tariff bill, and.
Whereas Said Wilson tariff bill hav-
ing passed the house of representatives,
is now before the senate. and.
Whereas. Reports are rife that owing
to the demands of certain democratic

it's essential reform features, practically
equivalent to its defeat as a tariff re-
form measure. therefore be il
Resolved, That the Hendricks club
calls upon Senators VOORHEES, and Turpie
TO unfalteringly advocate and vote for
the provisions OF the Wilson reform tariff
bill as II came from the house of repre-
sentatives.
This resolution was presented to the
club by the Hon. John W. Healing after
an earnest and eloquent address on
Senatorial Courtesy in the course Of
which he compared in strong terms the
splendid record OF democratic represent
atives with the miserable makeshift"
produced by democratic senators on ths

subcommittee. His remarks were as
plain as they We're forcible. Every man
present understood precisely what was
meant, and every man present voted for
this resolution. We think it absolutely
certain that 20 per cent of all the demo-
Gratis in Indiana indorse these sentiments
The reduction on certain classes of
manufactured goods by the senate COM
mittee are all right The destruction of
reform features referred TO are those
by which "the leading features of the
Wilson bill are completely eliminated
the doctrine Of free raw material is en-
tirely rejected, and iron. coal and other
materials placed upon the dutiable list"
and the concessions to special inter
ests'' As Mr.. Healing put it:
The sentiment of the people of Indiana.
is against 1t. They have no use for such
miserable patchwork. They are tired
of the so-called senatorial courtesy"
This you tickle me. Ill tickle you"
policy is disgusting 10 them. They want
a measure that can stand upon its
merits. that is not honeycombed with
benefcient provisions in favor Of any
set of men, a measure that is founded
upon principles Of Justice and equity,
that has in view the interests of the
great mass Of the people.
This is the simple truth The demo-
Gratis Of Indiana not only demand this,
but they propose to have it, or to hold
to the strictest responsibility the men
who failed to get it. They demand that
in this contest Indiana shall stand not
only above reproach. but above the
faintest shadow of suspicion. They de-
mand that the Indiana senato shall
stand so clear of any connection, or sus-
picion of connection. with any trust or
any tariff beneficiary, so earnest in their
devotion to the cause Of genuine tariff
reform, so openly the enemies of any
concession TO the corrupt and lawless
combinations created by republican legis-
Iation. that no man can point the finger
of scorn at them. They demand that
their record shall be so aggressive and SO
open that every one must say these men
have done their fun duty. and have made
every effort TO guard the interests of the
masses; they have opposed with all their
power every concession to the trusts and
combines. They are democrats. They
are tariff-reformers. If the senators
from other states betray the trust CON
f1ded to them, those states can deal with
them. In that event Indiana demo-
crat" must he given Specification

ciering of that remarkable man, John
Sherman. They are appalled, by the
issue Of more deprecated dollars" but
they seem to forget that this is their
own system. They made the gold
dollar the standard OF value in this
redemption known to the government
All silver and all paper money is psya-
bic in gold. 1t is measured in gold
Its intrinsic value is absolutel. irnma-
terial. The silver dollar is as much
credit money as the paper dollar. The
fact that its intrinsic value is somewhere
i'm the neighborhood of 80 cents is Of no
more consequence than the fact that the
intrinsic value of a paper dollar is less
than cent, or that the intrinsic value
of a nickel is something less than
cents. This is gold monometallism.
The seigniorage question is one Of the
necessary results of Mr.. Sherman's idiot
ic ideas about money. He was one of
the early and vigorous advocates of the
idea that a government could make
profit by buying silver at market value
and coming it at a less ratio on a gold
basis. OF course there cannot possibly
be any profit unless silver is restored to
its former intrinsic value, and that can
be done only by international bimetal-
lism. International bimetallism viii
come in due time, and the profit will
have been made. but it will be made At
the terrible cost Of the bankruptcy Of
tho world. which has been in progress
for the past twenty years. The United
States government has the silver which
Mr.. sherman bought. It cannot afford
to sell it, The only thing it can do is to
coin and use it. and make every effort
i'm its power to restore Internal ionaI hi
metallsm. If congress would adopt a
resolution looking toward the formation
of an effective bimetallic league it would
hasten the action of other governments
very materially. The sentiment of the
nation is strongly against gold monomet-
aHism. and the intelligence of the nation
is against it. The coinage of the "vacu-
um" is a sensible step in the right
direction.

If a girl COR man either for that mat

be seen on Westinghouse. at noon with

is not considered a necessary adjunct of
the polite table. and il is not designed as
an ornament for feminine mouths. its

Welcome to West Virginia The strong
stand taken by the Parkersburg demo-
Gratis against the action of Senators
Faulkner and Camden is a proof that
the tariff-reform spirit of the West Vir-
ginia democrats is not of the bastard
character. They tell their senat tors either
10 vote for the Wilson bill outright or
10 resign. That is business. If the
democrats Of each state in the union
would do the same thing, and the vast
majority Of them feel just that way, 1t
would simplify the senate situation very
materially. Let every state talk straight
out to its own senators.
