Manager Hume's Little Joke.

The editor Of the HERALD has re-
ceived the following note from the
Secretary and Asst. Genl. Manager
of the Cumberland Telephone and
Telegraph Co:
"Wo are a great deal like a very
prominent wholesale merchant was
toward rough ur river country Gus
toner. This merchants book keep
er came to the front office Of his store
and said, Mr. Blank, Mr.. Jones
from Roaring Greek, il in the back
office, raising a terrible fuss" Mr..
Blank said, what's the matter with
him?' The book-keeper replied, 'oh,
/ don't know. he's just rearing and
cursing. Has he paid bis bill, the
merchant asked. oh, yes said the
book keeper, but he's just back
there cursing.' Then the merchant
said to his book keeper. go on back
to your work ; if he's paid his Dill,
let him cuss all he pleases.
Manager Hume is not very ex
plicit, but we venture the assertion
that the merchant referred to was
the manager of corporation store.
And from that point of view his con-
duct was most natural. 1t Is the
way with these managers of cor
porate affairs. They rarely stop to
inquire into the justice of a COM
plant; they never pretend to con-
slider the rights of the individual;
pulled up with little brief au-
thority they look with proud con
tumely upon the grievance and com
plants of common mortals. 1t Is an
offense to their olfactory nerves II
one of these rough, country Gus
TONER'S" gets betwiXt their highness
and the wind.
"Let him curse" says the man
ager of the company st"re; what do
we care 50 long as he pays his bill.
What if be does consider himself
robbed; what if our bill is exorbitant
and the tax heavy, and the rule
arbitrary and unjust, he can't help
ulln5cli, bO lOb illlil Jul SO 20 IL oSi o1
he pleases."
That is their argument. That is
the argument Manager Hume
makes to the HERALD, because the
HEBALD had the temerity to expose
the fallacy or his arrogant claims
That is the argument he would
make to all."his rough, country Gus
toners" in Maury if the Citizens
Company was not here to teach bet
ter manners and rather better bust
ness methods. 1t was just such dis
regard for the opinions and feelings
and rights of others, that aroused tC
action the people of Maury and gave
existence to the Citizens Co., anC
without which the Cumberland Co.
would say to all of us trough, coun
try customers, pay your bills and
curse as much as you please"
We thank Mr.. Hume for his in
discreet reminder to the people
which ought certainly to put then
on their guard.

FREE RURAL MAIL DELIVERY

Congl isman Stokes of South
Carolina, has introduced bill
which makes it the duty of mail
carriers on star routes to deliver
free of charge to the persons adj
dressed any mail entrusted to the
care of the carriers by postm asters.
1t also requires that carriers must
take up and place in the postotiice
mail given them by persons along
the route.
The only requirement of the per-
sous who wish to take advantage of
the act is to put up boxes in con-
venient place and to give the post
master instructions as to the proper
mail box at which they desire their
mail deposited.
The Second Assistant Postmaster
General, Mr.. Shal!enberger, warmly
indorses the bill, and in South Caro-
lima, the Postoffice Department has
tried the experiment of advertising
lOE COubIdCls, Will anu WllnOub pIO-
visions that contractors should de-
liver the mail free along their
routes wherever farmers should
erect boxes, and the difference in
the cost for the improved service for
the entire State was found to be
only $500.
The passage of the bill would be a
boon to every farmer in the country.
1t would bring them in closer touch
with the outer world and its affairs,
aud would be benefit all around,
while the extra cost to the govern
ment would doubtless be fully offset
by the increase Of postage stamps
sold.
1t is a good bill; one otthe best and
most practical recently introduced,
and we hope the corporations,
the trusts aud combines will consent
to its passage. Otherwise, of course
this administration will not seri-
ously consider 1t.

WHITAKER ON TRIAL.
He is Suspected of Being Implicated
in the Murder of State Senator
William GOebeI.

Frankfort, KY, March IA crowd
which packed the Franklin county
circuit court room to its doors gath
cred Tuesday morning to hear the ex-
aiming trial of Harlan Whitaker,
the Butler county farm hand, who is
suspected of being implicated in the
murder of State Senator William Goe-
bel. A number of prominent ladies
were present. Before the hearing be-
gun the charge, on request of the
county attorney, was changed from
malicious shooting to murder. Whit
taker was nervous and iii at ease
when brought into the room. Thir-
teen witnesses, all summoned by tho
commonwealth, were called. The first
witnesses sworn were men VINO hal
been concerned in the arrest of Whit
taEer on the morning Of the assaS 81
nation. These witnesses were John A.
Miles, A. Miller, Detective Are
strong, Constable Davis Harrod, and
Policeman Thompson. Armstrong
and Harrod swore that Whitaker had
contradicted himself in stating his
whereabouts on the capitol square at
the moment the fatal shots were fired.
At 1920 o'clock court adjourned
until p. m. The last witness called
during the forenoon was Charles How
ard, farmer, who said Whitaker
told him week before the shooting
he had come to Frankfort to protect
Gov. Taylor's life. Howard declared
that just after Goebel fell he saw one
of The Philpots and two of the How
ards, Berry and Jim, members of well
known mountain families, in the door
of the executive building, heavily arm
ed. He said that he was deputed by
the sheriff to guard the capitol
grounds, but was ordered away by the
commanding officer when the troops
arrived. None of the witnesses for the
defense were named during the morn
ing. IL was believed Whittaiser's at
torneys had a surprise in store for the
other side. They declined to cross
examine any of the witnesses for the
prosecution.
State Senator Nat Howard is chief
I counsel for the r-isonar

REUNITED.
.(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox.)
Let us begin, dear love, where we left
off;
Tie up the broken threads of that old
dream,
And go on happy as before, and seem
Lovers again, though all the world may
scott.
Let us forget the cold, malicious Fate
Who made our loving hearts her idle
toys,
And once more revel in the sweet old
joys
Of happy love. Nay, it is not too late
Forget the deep ploughed burrows in my
brow;
Forget the silver cleaning in my
hair;
Look only in my eyes! Oh! darling
The old love shone no warmer then than
now.
Tie up the broken threads, and let us
go,
Like reunited lovers, hand in hand,
Back, and yet onward, to the sunny
land
Of our To Be, which was our Long Ago.

The Post Dispatch puts the case none
too strongly, and the writer sends this to
the Banner in the hope that it will open
the eyes of some Nashville women who
may be tempted to get for only 20
cents, one of those " lovely petticoats, ,
and thereby innocently but surely help
to defraud some who become later on
