TRIBUTE TO LoNGFELLOW,
Proposed Erection of a Statue to His
Memory

In setting forth the propriety of erecting
statue in this city to the memory Of
Henry Wadsworth .Longfellow the House
committee on library says in it's report:
Washington already contains the statues
Of more than a score of eminent citizens
but among them there is not one which
marks distinguished services rendered to
our national literature. 1t has been thought
by many competent judges that a statue
Of Longfelow placed here would be a fit
ing tribute both TO his fame and to the
distinction which he conferred upon Ameri-
can letters. 1t is a grave reproach to us
that while England has been quick to rec
ognize his eminence by placing his bust in
Westminster Abbey, our own people have
as yet done little to testify the affection
and pride with which millions regard one
who is, beyond all others, the poet of the
American home and fireside.
while there may be some who question
the claim Of Longfellow to the title of our
greatest poet, there are on the other hand
few who would not place his as second onIv
TO some more favored name. No one of
our poets has been translated into SO many
modern languages, and no one has ever
SO beautifully illustrated the earlier phases
of our national life as the author of Hia-
watha,' Of 'Evangeline' and of The Court
ship of Miles Standish' Many of his poems
have become, in measure a part of our
household speech. The best aspects of our
social and religious life have through his
works been made familiar to the world,
while American patriotism has been power
fully stimulated by the lines, with which
every child is familiar. addressed to The
Ship of State If in addition to this we re-
member that so gracious and engaging a
personality, so complete and beautiful a
life, has rarely. If ever, graced the litera-
ture OF any nation. we may well conclude
that to place lasting memorial to Long
fellow in the city which belongs to all our
people, and to which they send their repre-
sentatives to make their laws, is to furnish
both true inspiration to our highest ideals
OF citizenship and a testimony to the
achievements which we value most"
The resolution provides that a commits
sion. consisting of the chairman of the
Senate committee on the library, the chair
man of the House committee on the IL
brary and the Secretary of War be ap-
pointed a commission to select site upon
property belonging to the United States in
the city of Washington, other than the
Capitol or Library grounds, for the cree
ton of statue in bronze of the late Henry
w. Longfellow, to be provided by the Long
fellow Memorial Association, and appro-
priating $4,000, or so much thereof as NAV
be necessary, for the preparat ton of the
site SO selected and the erection of a pedes-
tai on which to place said statue.

This morning several of the players were
laying wagers on the final pair for the club
cup, a majority selecting DR.. Lee Harlan
and Mr.. Oden HOrstman as the pair most
come together in the finals the old rivalry
of Chevy Chase against Columbia will
doubtless come to the front and one Of the
most interesting contests of the season will
probably come off.
The two Brooke boys are also big fac

There were few spectators out this morn
golf tournaments, but in the afternoon the
gallery was large, many handsomely gown
ed ladies being among the number.
First Round.
The results of the Rumbaugh- Brooke
match were the first to be buIletined, the
latter winning out easily by 8 up and to
play. Mr.. Brookes play was unusually
brilliant. his work UP to the thirteenth hole
being five better than yesterday morning
and seven better than In the afternoon.
Putting is Mr.. Brooke's long suit at golf
and he frequently holed out In DOGGY fig
ures, and sometimes under. Mr.. Rum
baugh is one Of the best players from the
south. but he was simply swept off his feet
by the mastery exhibition given by the
young man from Sandy Spring. Mr.
Brooke is prospective member of the Co
lumbia club and will strengthen the team
very materially.

the chief events. Mr.. Selfridge defeated
Mr.. Horstman two up and one to play:
Mr.. Compton overcame E. G. Brooke by
exceptional play, one up; Mr.. Hough won
from Ayrault. two up and one: DR.. Gray
had to play nineteen holes to win from Mr.
Lanston by one up, and Mr.. McCammon
only won from DR.. William Harlan two
up and one, by hard work. Mr.. Horstman
started out with a foreboding that he was
in for a defeat and his little 'hunch'' came
true.

VEGETARIANISM.
Body Needs More Acids and Mineral
Salts in Summer.

Salts in Summer.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Experiments with vegetarian dinners are
growing popular among people whose in
come usually makes them Indifferent to the
size Of the market bills. 1t is not so much
that they cannot afford to pay current
prices. for meats. but they resent the re-
cent forced rise as an outrage. So they
reduce their butchers bills as an expert
ment in retaliation in case they wish to
carry the matter to a fighting point. Fami-
lies who have tried it report pleasant sur
prises in the healthfulness and appetizing
quality of the meals provided without
meats. There Is talk OF organized Austen
ton from meat as a boycott on the beef
trust. OF course, any organization Of the
sort could only be imperfect, but the feel
ing has become acute enough to seriously
reduce the business of the retail butchers.
If the public chose they could break the
beef trust In fortnight and put the meat
barons on the edge of bankruptcy In a
month.
But entirely aside from that phase of the
matter. abstention from meat at this season
is healthful. Most Americans eat far too
during the spring and summer, when the
body needs less heat and more acids and
mineral salts Fresh fruit We always have
abundantly In this market, and fresh vege-
tables are beginning to be cheaper. These
are better than meat as spring diet and
the. variety which can be maintained with
fish and eggs will make any table attrac-
tive. If this rise In prices Is a deliberate
effort on the part OF the trust to squeeze
consumers 1t comes at an unlucky time for
its promoters. Not only can it not produce
serious hardship among persons who know
how to cook, but 1t may indirectly prove a
boon by forcing attention upon a more
heaithful and agreeable summer dietary.

NOW is THE TIME
SAYS MR.. GORDON

Louisa, Va, Sept. 18th.
Editor of The Times:
Sir,-There is no subject that an,
more deeply interested in than full
registration of the honest. worthy white
men of the State, whether ignorant or
learned, for they at last are the pillars
Of the State. If they fail to register
under the understanding clause, the ig-
norant voters will be permanently dis
franchised. no one being permitted to
register after 1904 who cannot make the
written application required by the Con-
stitution.
The registra ton in this county. so far
as it has gone (three of the four districts
having completed their sittings). is very
satisfactory. From the best information
I have. about so per cent. of white vote
has been registered. and only some 10
or II per cent. of the colored. III addi-
ton to this. the colored vote that is reg
istered is largely the property-holding and
most intelligent portion OF the race. Per-
nit me to suggest, in conclusion, that
the papers should keep the people advised
that the ignorant voter who registers in
1902 or 1903 Is voter for life. and has
the right to have any officer OF election
fselected by him) aid him in the prepa-
ration of his ballot. It IS therefore evil
dent that, in the language of the par
sons now is the accepted time. the day
of salvation for the ignorant voter.
Very truly yours,

who fall to take advantage Of the oppor-
tunity now offered them must stand In
the position which the plan going into
effect two years hence puts them In.
when there are no special avenues opened
for the white people. have taken the
pains to ascertain the number Of white
people In each county IN the district, as
given by tbs last census, and the white
voters OF each county In elections dur
Ing the last few years, and shall see
which county in the district registers the
greatest per cent. OF its white voters.
and the order In which they come after

porting this to you when the registration
is completed. Which county will come

burg. the only city II the district We
wilt watch and see.
The registration IN some sections is pro-
crossing very satisfactorily. while in
some Of the counties not as much inter-
est Is being taken as should be, but T
think the white people are beginning TO
realize that this Is the opportunity O,
their lives; that there is no reason WHY
any white people should fail Of registra-
ton with ordinary intelligence. and the
result from everywhere in the State
shows that the white voters can get In

BUTTON URGES ACTIVITY
IN THE TENTH DISTRICT
Richmond. Va. Sept. 1St


Editor of The Times:
Sir.-There has been very little pro-
gress made in the registration of voters
in the Tenth Congressional District. Only
about half of the counties have COM
menced their registration. and several of
those only within the past few days, so
it is impossible to give you any very
definite information.
In my opinion this is the most import
ant matter that has confronted the
Democratic party In wears, and every
loyal party man should register at once
and see to it that his netshbors do like
wise
The City and County Committees should
be called together without delay. and
they should appoint precinct committees
to divide up the work The old regis
tration books should be carefully gone
over and each precinct committeeman
given the names of five or ten voters.
and it should be his duty to see each
man upon his list and urge upon him the
Importance of immediate action. The
apathy now existing BODIES no good TO
our party, and unless we arouse our
selves, the consequences may be serious.

CHAIRMAN EASLEY
ACTIVE AND HOPEFUL

Richmond, Va, September 10, 1902
Editor OF Tho Times:
Sir.-ReplyinS to your favor of the 9th
instant, will say that the registration
has commenced in so few of the precincts
in this district that it is impossible at
this time to tell what the outcome will
be. hut everything possible is being done
to insure a full registration of the Dem
ccratic vote. Letters have been sent out
to the local chairmen urging the import
ance of organizing their committees for
this work. and impressng upon the peo-
pie the necessity for action, and we feel
assured that the result will be satisfac-
tory.
At Hungary. the only precinct in Hen
rico where the registration has taken
place, 131 white men were registered and
eight negroes; about fifty whites failed
to register.
AS this is matter of such vital i'm
ro,tance to the people and which must
enlarge or restrict the usefulness Of the
party in proportion to the thoroughness
with which the work is done, the Dem
ocratic papers cannot be too earnest in
their appeals to the people not to under
estimate the privilege nor neglect this
NEST important duty.
There is work for the party to do and
we cannot afford to lose q single good
man
Yours very truly.
