Up the Hudson, around Nyack, Yonkers, Ardsley and Irvington, society girls hold to the old tradition. and each May Day morn ing finds q bevy of them putin the fields in search of the dew cosmetic that gave their grandmothers indubtabe claims to beauty.
 In large cities conditions are not favorable for bathing In dew. Neither the backyard nor the public thoroughfares are adapted for the carrying out of beauty recipes and the custom of celebrating May Day Is more often honored in the breach than in the ob- servance.

Various plots to assassinate him have

ardor that the world looked On and ad-

eral Price, of the Nashville district.
What will he do with it? Is he ready
for "his chance?' Is he equal to the
emergency? Is he strong enough and
brave enough and man enough for the
place? Will he summon Mr.. Geo. L.
Fry before his grand jury, and investl-
gate his charges of open and notorious
legislative rottenness, or will he yield to
the persuasive eloquence of the PAID
attorneys and special pleaders OF this
same rotten crowd, and let the golden
opportunity of his life pass? We shall
see. II Mr.. Price is ready for his op-

In the western portion of the county
there is some objection to the bill passed
by the legislature redistricting this
county; the objection being that that
norton of the county was not given its
full Quota of magistrates. The conten-
tion is not unreasonable but the blame
should not be put upon innocent
shoulders. Our representatives intro
duced the bill by request, and passed it
lust as it was drawn. They were asked
by one man to amend the bill, and they
consented to do so. Then they were
asked by six or eight men to take that
amendment off, and they did that.
They did not draw the bill; they did
not inspire it; they did not suggest it.
They never saw it until it came to them
accompanied by long petition, asking
for it's passage. Then, hearing no OBJ
lection, they introduced and had 1t
passed, word for word, just as it came
to them. AS faithful representatives,
trying to obey the will of their con-
stituents, they could not have done
otherwise. However, on the whole, the
bill is about the best legislation Maury
County has had for many years.

.NoBopY's BUSINESS"

II is contrary to law to boodlerlZe tue
Tennessee legislature or the individual
members thereof. put II does not
appear to be anybody's business TO
prosecute the boodlers.
Mr.. Geo. T. Fry, the Memphis
Morning News correspondent, makes
the charges, proffers the witnesses and
offers to supply the attorneys, and asks
Governor Frazier to institute or au-
thorize a grand jury investigation but
the Governor replies, II have no 1uris-
dictlor.
It seems to us that it would be
within the jurisdiction OF any Official
m helm catch thief The Governor OF
course would not be expected to be-
come prosecutor in the case, but he
might give-and that publicly and
positively-his administration in
fiuence to thorough investigation OF
the alleged crookedness.
Governor Frazier ought not to be
willing that so important a matter
should 90 unattended to. He ought
not to be willing to cite Mr.. Fry TO
the grand jury, and let it go at that.
In face of the strong, organized oppo-
sition there will be against any In
vestiga ton, a private citizen like Mr..
Fry needs not only the warrant OF the
law, but the sympathy, encourage
ment, backing and support OF the
officials of the law, to help create a
public sentiment that will make
conviction possible.
Every legislature that comes, these
charges of bribery and corruption are
made, and more than that they are
believed. Two years ago 1T was
broadly stated and generally believed
that the Peeler bill was defeated by
the corrupt use of money. And the
distinguished leader of the whiskey
lobby left the state and stayed away
until the investigation of little
alleged crookednes, was over with.
Is 1t not about time for the good
name of the state aud for AGENCY in
public life, that these charges were
being probed to the bottom? Is 1T not
time for every good citizen to COM
mend and encourage the man who has
the honesty and the courage to speak
the truth and fear not?
Mr.. Fry, as the Governor suggests,
should 90 before the grand jury and
make his charges specific ana PLAIN
and give them the names OF MS VIII
nesses And the witnesses themselves,
If they are guiltless OF any wrong
and some of them we know are
should voluntarily go before the jury
to tell what they know. And the
Governor and his administration
forces, and all good citizens should do
all in their power to prosecute, convict
and punish these marauders upon
nublic morals. And, as Mr.. Fry says
in his letter to the Governor, II know
of but one effective way to act IN mat
tiers of this kind, and that, to para
phraze forcible utterance, is to act. =
Certainly if rottenness In elections,
and rottenness in public officials can
fix time for action, that time is
now. But-and here comes the
ad conclusion of the whole matter
it will all end in talk and white
wash. Mr.. Fry will receive the silent
thanks of the good people for his
honest, manly course and the kicks,
curses and abuse of the professional
lobbyist and the machine politician
and it will all blow over, and two
wears from now there will be buying
and selling and cheating and lying
ana lodging again.
oh tho ahama of ii all

The Nashville papers are painfully
and conspicuously silent on those Doodle
charges preferred by Mr.. Fry. Why
report crap games and petty thefts, and
let corruption, or charges of corruption,
in high places, go unrebukedS You
can never stop the retail liquor traffic
until you run the wholesaler out of bus
mess. You can never step petty thiev-
cry, SO long as men in high places give
and take brides. You can never elevate
the lower stratas Of society, so long as
there is rottenness and corruption on
top. The Democratic Augean stables
OF Tennessee need cleaning, and that
badly.
