Was IA Good Prophet.

The novelist, Thomas A. Janvier,
has lived for a number of years in
France. and has collected many folk
tales and anecdotes of the French
peasantry. says the Kansas City Jour
nal.
Il heard a story of a physician the
other day." Mr.. Janvier said recently.
HE was a physician of Provence. and
one morning, stopping his gig, he en-
tered into condescending talk with a
tOmbStone-maker.
while the talk went on the tomb
stone man did not cease to work. He
had a chisel in one hand and a mallet
in the other. He was carving upon
his tombstones the words, Sacred to
the memory of - and the rest he
would leave blank.
This proceeding, for some reason,
amused the physician. Watching the
stonecutter he laughed heartily.
Why said the other, do you
laugh?
Because your way of work amuses
me- the physician said Do you al
ways cut upon your headstones the
beginning of the obituary, and then
waltz
No. said the stonecutter, not al
ways. When there is some one sick,
and you are treating him. keep right
on"

HANNA AND HEATH TO QUIT.

The Republican National Committee
will meet in Washington some time
during the first ten days of December.
The committee will have nothing to do
beyond selecting the place Of meeting
of the national convention of next year,
but there will, of course. be an album
| dance OF wire pulling and political dis
| cussion INDUCED in at that time. Two
matters that are regarded as practi-
cally foregone conclusions, that will
! come in for informal attention at the
! hands of the assembled politicians. are
the retirement of Chairman Hanna
and Secretary Heath. There seems to
be not the slightest doubt in the minds
/ of a number of those who are well in
formed that Chairman Hanna win re-
! tire, voluntarily and against the wishes
| of many of the party leaders, and that
Mr.. Heath will retire for the good of
the party"
Senator Hanna has stated to a num-
Der of his intimate friends that he feels
he is entitled to a rest from active po-
litical management, hence will decline
reelection to the chairmanship of tne
National Committee after the meeting
of the convention. 1t is TO be admitted
that Senator Hanna worked hard, and
successfully, in the. two campaigns he
has managed. 1t Is NOT necessary 10
approve his methods to give him credit
for hard and intelligent work. He
stands at the very front of practi-
cal politicians, and strives to win when
he enters a campaign. 1t is the gen.
eral understanding that President
Roosevelt, anticipating his nomination
to succeed himself. would like Senator
Hanna to be chairman of the National
Committee again. But in that connec-
ton an interesting story is told. 1t is
to the effect that some time ago SEN
ator Hanna took it upon himself to
sound the business interests with re-
spect to Col. Roosevelt's probable can
didacy; whether those interests would
be willing to contribute literally to a
campaign fund for the purpose of elect
ing Col. Roosevelt to the presidency.
A number of days were spent in New
York, in consultation with representa-
tives of moneyed interests that had on
previous occasions given large sums to
the Republican cause. What Sena-
tor Hanna found. it is alleged. was
that the corporate and moneyed inter
ests were not inclined to contribute to
the Republican campaign fund with
Col. Roosevelt as the candidate. Sen
ator Hanna was informed frankly that
the prospective candidate lacked the
confidence of the business interests.
Now, the senator is a general who be-
lieves in big and full war chest. He
doesn't like to enter a fight without a
plenty of ammunition. hence he balks
and kicks at another term as chairman
of the National Committee under the
circumstances. He says his health viii
not permit Of his running another cam
paign. 1t may be that it makes him
sick to contemplate what he would
have to conterd with.

Dixie Forever.
From Leslie's Weekly.

At the State Confederate reunion in
Missouri a motion to re-write Dixie"
almost caused a riot, and was unani-
mously voted down. IT,
What! change the words of Dixie"
The good old song we sang
When leaden bullets marked the time.
And silver bugles rang?
The lines that find an echo
In every Southern heart,
The strains that melt our very souls
Until the tear-drops start?
You might as well make over,
In something strange and new,
When fell the evening dew.
The moth to dust and powder
Has turned the coat of gray,
But Dixie lives on every lip,
The Southern "Marseilles.'
away down South in Dixie!"
Calls w vision bright
OF moonlight where the Suwanee flows
And cotton-fields by night;
And rows of tall palmettos
Against the starlit sky:
And OH to live in Dixie-land,
In Dixie-land to die!
Beneath the starry ensign +C'
That high above our heads
It's splendor to the morning breeze
In fadeless beauty spreads: .' ''

The South no more shall sever. ..

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Springfield (Mass0 Republican
Ond) SAYS: rs it a correct inference
that the recent appointment of Merry
del Val as papal secretary of state
by the Pope was not altogether agree
able to the administration at Wash
ington? Merry del Val is a Spaniard
in nationality, and might not that fact
influence him in the settlement of the
question of the friars and their lands
in the Philippines? The questions con-
corning the friars are no nearer set
Element than they were a year ago.
The Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.) says:
Things are going on the natural way.
Silver and gold are circulating side
by side and without any discount on
either. Nobody stops to see If the pa
per he receives is redeemable in gold
or silver or practically In neither Sill
yer is not merely the currency of the
yellow nations 1t is a tremendous
part of the currency of this great coun-
try, and il is not redeemable in gold
There is no silver question in politics
now, but those who are trying to kick
the silver circulation we have into dis
grace know nothing OF the first prin-
ciples of finance"

and should have much to say in the
naming of a presidential ticket and the
building Of a platform, and it should
be the aim of the South TO name such
a ticket and frame such a platform
as will appeal TO the North and East.
The South is Loyalty Democratic and
will support the nominees with old
time fervor, albeit there may be some
kicking by individuals for awhile; the
North and East are capricious and
will vote for no man who does not in
spire their confidence. These sections
are practical and utilitarian, and do
things in a hard-headed and business
ways They are free to do as they
please, having no race question to
drive them together. The South being
less fortunate, is more sentimental and
will loyalty support the ticket. The
conservative and business interests Of
the country must be conciliated if sue
cess is to be gained, and II behooves
all Democrats to put on their thinking
caps and consider who Is the most
available man."

The Manufacturers Record calls at
tention to, and comments upon, the
arrival in New Orleans recently of o.
1874 Immigrants from Southern Italy.
1t seems that there is a society in New
York which has for it's object the pro-
lection of Italian immigrants, and
some of its representatives, some
months ago, made a tour through the
South for the purpose of seeing what
! advantages it offered to italian immi-
grants. The trip was made in re-
Spouse to calls for Italian labor from
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Mis-
sssippi and Louisiana. 1t is wanted
in those states in the fields and the
mills.
The immigrants that landed at New
Orleans quickly distributed themselves
throughout Louisiana, and had no diff
Guilty in finding employment. The most
of them preferred life on the planta-
tions to life in the factories. In the
course of time. probably, if this inn
migration continues, there VII be
very considerable population of Italians
and Of Italian ancestry in portions of
the South. At the last census there
were over 1900 Italians in Louisiana.
The class of Italians that landed at
New Orleans recently, however, isn't
exactly the class of immigrants that
is wanted in the South. Immigrants
are desired who will carve farms out
OF the vacant lands. The Germans
and Scandinavians are the best for
that purpose. AS a matter of fact
many of the descendants of foreigners
who settled in, the West are now COM
ing South. They are well-to-do and
are a very desirable addition to the
communities in which they settle.
There are also coming South from
the Northwestern states many native
American farmers. If the movement
from the West to the South is once
fairly started the lands of the South,
in comparatively few years, will be
pretty well occupied.
Information regarding the remark
able development of the South within
the last ten years is getting abroad,
and that is why there is a larger move
ment from the West to the South. If
the railroads and other Southern in
fluences were successful in getting the
class of foreign immigrants that be-
come farmers the development of the
South would be accelerated. There is
no doubt that the price of cotton will
be very remunerative for a number of
years. In fact, it may never drop be-
low eight cents a pound again for the
reason that consumption seems to be
Increasing faster than the supply.
There is therefore no better section for
farmers than the South.

RADIUN THE SIN,

The discovery of radium has pre-
cipitated the discussion of a number
of scientific questions, no one of which,
however, is more interesting than that
of the physical structure of the sun.
Mature" and other similar publica-
tions have recently contained letters
and articles suggesting the possibility
of the mystery of the suns heat and
radiance being solved through the dis
covery of radium.
The ancients knew and left recorded a
great many facts about the sun; never
theless, it is only within hundred
years that any satisfactory progress
has been made toward an understand
ing of the structure of the sun. And
it is to be said that not a very great
deal of progress has yet been accom-
plished. HelmholtZ believed that the
solar heat was a product Of mechani-
cal compression through gravitation.
Pouillet and Forbes and Langley meas
ured the suns radiating power and es-
timated it's life at hundreds of mil
lions of years past and other hundreds
of millions to come. Lord Kelvin
thought it practically impossible" that
the sun had been throwing off heat
as much as five hundred millions Of
years, and that its age was probably
not over one hundred millions. He
thought there was going on a steady,
gradual cooling process, with conse-
quent gradual loss of solar energy
Prof. Langley estimated that the suns
surface was $500 times as bright as
the molten metal in the fierce heat of
a Pittsburg iron furnace, indicating q
degree of heat almost inconceivable
to the human mind. BY means of the
spectrum Prof. Rowland of Johns Hop
kins reported that he had detected the
presence of some thirty or more ele-
ments in the sun. Another scientist adj
vanced the theory that the sun was
really the arc or focal point of the vast
amount of electricity contained in
space.
Prof. G.. Fl. Darwin. writing in a
recent magazine article, holds that ra-
dunn, the newly discovered element is
source of light and energy capable of
liberating atomic energy for a very
long time without appreciable loss of
weight and body, and says he sees mo
reason to assume that the sun is in
capable of liberating atomic energy to
a degree at least comparable with ra-
dunn" While Prof. Darwin does not
say so in MS many words, his line of
argument indicates that he inelines to
the opinion that if the presence of ra-
dunn in the sun could be detected and
established, it would aid much in call
culations with respect to the suns
components, power, age and expecta-
lions.

THAT CORNER IN COTTON.

Mr.. Frank S. Hayne, one of the chief
members of the syndicate that conduct
ed the famous corner in cotton last
summer, and made millions of dollars,
wasn't pleased with the criticisms
which were showered on the syndi-
cate, and quite recently, in a lengthy
letter, defended himself and his asso-
ciates. He doesn't pretend that he
and those who acted with him saw
the situation any clearer than many
others. but the others did not have the
nerve to act on their Judgment.
While Mr., Hayne thinks that his
syndicate had something to do with
putting up the price of cotton, as a
mater of fact the real reason for
was much greater than the supply
He says as much himself. A cotton
famine, he says, faced the world, and
the high price was not the result of
manipulation but the scarcity of cot
ton. He thinks therefore that the
charge that the syndicate caused the
mills to close, and that it brought
great suffering to tens of thousands of
mill operatives. has no foundation in
fact. The truth is, he says, the syn
dictate at no time held more than
enough to supply the mills for more
than eight days-that is, the syndi-
cate never held as much as 300, 900
| bales.
His contention is that the mills
| themselves brought about their own
troubles. because they speculated in
cotton. Mills in this country and in
Europe sold their cotton with the ex-
pectation of buying it back at a lower
price. They made a mistake. They
had to buy 1t from the syndicate and
pay higher price than that at which
| they sold it. From Liverpool alone
there was sent $4,000 bales to the syn
dictate. If that cotton had gone to the
Lancashire mills instead of being ship
ped to this country, those mills would
not. in all probability, have had to
close. They might. however, have had
to run on short time.
II there had been no corner in cot
ton mills would have had to close be-
cause there was not enough cotton to
last until the new crop came in. What
the syndicate did do probably was this:
| 1t prevented as equable a distribu-
tation of the supply as there would
have been If cotton had been left to
take its course, but even that isn't
| certain.
1t is probable that the members of
the syndicate are not worrying much
about the criticism to which their bull
campaign subjected them. Most of
them have more money than they
know what to do with just at present,
| though it is probable that some of
them will lose what they made in an
attempt to make another successful
| corner

Eleven years ago France adopted an
arbitration and Cancellation law. for the
prevention and settlement of labor
troubles. How it has worked is seen
in recently issued report on strikes
in France during last year. The num-
Der of strikes was 512 in 1920 estab-
lishments, involving 212,704 working
people and causing a loss of 4,675, Os1
days work. Half of the strikes were
for higher wages. The law of 1899 was
applied to only 107 of the SIP cases.
and in these it proved effective in AZ.
This does not seem to be brilliant
vindication Of the French plan of ar
filtration and Cancellation; still it shows
that the French people are striving 10
find solution for their labor troubles.
