Nice Moon, But Too High.

One that the men Of Cincinnatis Wall
street will appreciate has to do with James
r Keene and Washington E. Connor. It is
atent the almost total extinction of the
great bears that few years ago made Wall
street trading thing of such vigor and pic
turesqueness. Then Mr.. Keene and Mr.. Con-
nor were two of the most noted bull baiters
of the street. At one time Connor was the
guest of Mr. Keene at the latter's country
place. The two were walking over the
fine grounds in the early evening admir-
ing the beauties of the twilight scene and
incidentally talking business. Suddenly Mr..
Keene grasped his friends arm, and, point

Mr.. Conner, and then in fit of abstraction
added, "but it's too high, Keene; too high"

Literature is the final expression Of
human thought. If women can lay

why do they not manifest it IN their
writings? Intuition. if it means any
thing. means the faculty that gets
down to the germ Of actions and char
acterstics and focuses ey ernal traits
into i central verify recognizable to
the general public. Now, there are
more female writer's than male. No
WOMAN poet has ever written an in
evitable line. line that flashes spon-
taneously out Of the unknown and casts
an illuminating light upon the abyss.
Woman has added practically nothing
to our stock OF familiar quotations.
Take down your Bartlett or your an
tho!ogy, and you may be surprised to
find that from Mrs. Browning to Mrs.
Meynell women have never coined
phrase which has passed into the COM
mon currency Of speech. Mrs. Brown
ing has indeed written fine lines, but
nothing of hers can be said to have be-
come household word.
Nor has any woman novelist created
any character that is generally recog-
nized as typical. George Eliot has
come closest with her Tito Melema
and Mrs. Poyser. You would appeal
only to the educated few if you de-
scribed person as q Tito or Poyser.

Wednesday, May 7, 1902.

We cannot help but remark upon
the harmonious work of the County
Convention last Monday. There
was a total absence of all bitterness
and factionalism, and Reformers and
Conservatives agreed touching one
thing and that was to send delegs-
ton to Columbia that for ability,
patriotism and conservatism would
have no superior. Factionalism and
political strife are forever buried in
this county.
In regard to the failure Of the con-
vention to pass resolutions endorsing
the candidacy of Congressman Lever
and other candidates for State Offices
we take this occasion to say that the
friends of these candidates thought
it best not to have the convention to
endorse them by resolutions but to
allow them to go before the people
on their own merits, and on the same
footing as candidates from other
counties. Had their friends deemed
it advisable the convention would
have unanimously passed strong
resolutions of endorsement. But We
do not believe in forestalling prim-
ary election. We propose to endorse
the candidacy OF A. F. Lever with
our ballots in the primary election at
which tame he will receive practically
the solid vote OF the county, and as
to the other candidates the county
will handsomely support them with
a large msjority. Conventions are
not the place to endorse candidates,
for to do 80 would be an abandonment
of the primary system of nominating
candidates for Office and would mean
q return to the convention plan.
Again it is not fair to those candi-
dates from the different counties.
They should be allowed to enter the
campaign feeling that they are as
free to seek.support as their opponent.
We grant that it is very pleasantan
natural too fora candidate to have
resolutions passed by his fellow
citizens endorsing him for Office but
we submit under the primary system
that it will be far more pleasarter
for him to be endorsed by his fellow
citizens with their ballots at the
polls.
