est, is he capable?" Later on
in his administration the FEEDER
alists, who held nearly every
Federal office in the young Repub-
lie, complained that Mr.. Jefferson was
not living up to his profession and was
giving more weight to the political views
of applicants for office than to merit and
fitness. Mr.. Jefferson made no reply for
the time, but went on appointing men of
his own political faith to public position
whenever the term of a Federalist ex-
pired. In 1907 i'll letter to William
Short, Mr.. Jefferson said:

named by the President, there were six

By analogy, this position of MIR. JEFF

mands fair participation in public of

just participation by men who hold the
political reins of the party in power.

Will Open Coal and Iron Fields.

Memphis, Tenn, March f4-The
Illinois Central is surveying line
between Bemis, on the main line of
the system, from Fulton to Jackson,
Miss, via Jackson, Tenn, to Tus-
cumbia, Ala. The line runs through
Shiloh National Park and then par
allels the Tennessee River to Tus-
cumbia. The Illinois Central has
made number of surveys to the
latter point during. the last few
months, but it is generally acknowl-
edged that the last is the most prac-
ticable. because the shortest and
most direct line.
The line when built will open a
section rich in timber and agricult-
ural resources, and will at the same
time give the Illinois Central a
direct line for the handling of its
share of the coal and mineral traffic
now originating in the Alabama and
Tennessee fields.

Good Roads.

There are two facts that should
be kept in view when it comes to
framing or amending road laws.
One fact is that good roads cannot
be made without the expenditure
of good deal of money. The
other fact is that no road law, can
secure good roads, unless the peo-
pie earnestly and resolutely put the
law into practical effect. The trouble
with most laws is that they are not
properly observed and enforced,
and the road law is not an exception
in this regard. If we are so have
a complete system of good roads in
Tennessee, the counties must take
action and provide the money need
ed. The state cannot build the
roads. but the counties can. The
state can greatly expedite good road
building with good road law, but
for securing the best results the
counties must take the herculean
and.-Smithville Review.

THE CREST OF THE RISE IN THE
MISSISSIPPI HAS PASSED
MEMPHIS.

WASHINGTON, March II.
Especial. 1.-The crest of
the rise of the Mississippi
river, according to the
weather bureau, has passed
Memphis. No further rise
is expected at Memphis. The
break in the levee twenty
miles above the city has
caused the gauge to drop,
and the fall will be quicker
on this account. However,
all water that goes through
the crevasse will be poured
into the st. Francis basin,
and will be eventually re-
turned to the Mississippi
above Helena. The weather
bureau officials observed to-
day that although the stage
at Memphis now is without
precedent, there is not as
much water in the river as
there was in 1897. The high
stage of the river is due
to a considerable extent to
the increase in the number
of levees, so that the water is
held within narrower bounds
thus causing it to rise higher.
Then, too the rivers west of
the Mississippi this year have
poured in immense volumes
of water. This served in a
measure to retard the flow of
the Mississippi, and conse-
quently it rose higher. The
crevasse above New Orleans
is expected to relieve the
situation at that city. The
Ohio river from Evansville
to Paducah will fall slowly,
and there will be a slight fall
at Cairo by tomorrow. The
Mississippi from Chester to
Cairo will be falling to-
morrow.

SENATOR HOAR'S EUL0GY On The
SOUTH.

"Although my life politically and
personally has been life of almost
constant strife with the leaders of
the Southern people, yet as l grow
older l have learned not only to re-
spect and esteem but to love the
great qualities which belong to my
fellow-citizens of the Southern
States. They are noble race. We
may well take pattern from them in
some of the great virtues which
make up the strength as they make
the glories of free States. Their
love OF home, their chivalrous re-
spect for women, their courage,
their delicate sense of honor, their
constancy which can abide by an
opinion or purpose or an interest
for their States through adversely
and prosperity, through the years
and through the generations, are
things by which the people of the
more mercurial North may take a
lesson. And there is another thing
-covetousness, corruption, the low
temptation of money has not yet
found any place in our Southern
politics.
CHOW, my friends, we cannot af-
ford to live, we don't wish to live,
and we do not live in a state of es-
trangment from people who posses
these qualities. They are friends of
ours; bone of our boneing, flesh Of
our flesh, blood of our blood, and
whatever may be the temporary
error of our Southern States, l, for
one, if l have right to speak for
Massachusetts, say to her: 'Entreat
me not to leave thee; for where thou
goest l will go, and where thou
stayest l will stay. Thy people
shall by my people, and thy God

Congress Recognizes Services of
Railway Mail Clerks.

Washington, March 13.-Congress
after much hesitation on the subj ect
has at last granted a lump sum Of
$1,000 to the family of every railway
mail clerk killed in the line of duty.
The law will extend it's first benefits
to those who lose their lives during
the present year, and from this time
on will bestow an equivalent of pen
sion, small though it be, upon the
widows and children of class of
Uncle Sans employees which is ex-
posed to extraordinary perils. In
deed there are no other government
servants barring soldiers and sailors
in war time, perhaps whose occupa-
ton is nearly SO dangerous.
There is no other occupation in
the world that is so perilous as that
OF our railway mail clerks. They
about 5000, and ordinarily
they get something like $1,000
year, though their pay varies some
what with length of service. 1t is
not much considering the fact that
they are constantly exposed to
chances of death. During the last
year, which broke the record for
casualties, they were mixed up in
900 accidents on the rail. Nine of
them were killed lightweight of
them were seriously injured. This
record was nothing very extraordi-
nary, however. In 1901 mail clerks
were caught in 825 accidents, in
which seven were killed, sixty-three
seriously, and 229 slightly wounded.
