REMARKED. "A domestic tragedy
spanning half a century of time
had a climax in San Francisco, in
the marriage of couple divorced
forty-four years ago, and reunited through
the efforts of their sons. Their separa-
ton and divorce were the result Of a
quarrel five years after their young we'd
ded life began, when both were lighting
life's battles in Lake county, Ill. In the
autumn of life, when both had passed
three score and ten years, they agreed to
forget past difference and resume the OLD
ties.

A Touch Of Kindness.

A committee from the Presbyterian
Junior Christian Endeavor society
went out to the convict camp on the
Scenic Route this afternoon with sew
eral dollars worth of fruit for the
silent laborers on the mountain side.
The committee consisted of Beulah
Hartman, Cecil Boucher and Willie
Fugate, and was accompanied by a
half dozen OF the boys and girls. The
money contributed was raised entire
ly by the young Christian Endeavor-
ers, who practiced s~elf-denial for a
period Of two weeks and saved the
nickels and dimes which usually go
for sodas and summer luxnries. that
they might add a touch of luxury to
the dreary life of the c~onvicts.

the city, but on the mountains II was

Fain would they have renewed their

could do to cheer the downcast hearts
was to promise upon their return to

Away up In the mountains,
Where sun and shadows play
Where everything Is lovely.
Where everything Is gay.
There's only one thing lacking,
To make our JOY complete
How sad It is to think it,
No men In this retreat!

And you who scorn the fair.
Just send along some young men
To thrive IN mountain air.

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1903-09-05

were, however, unmistakable signs OF dis
indignation in 1886. when Mckinley received
a very large popular vote in several South
ern States, and again in 1900, when the
Republican vote in the South was almost
equally as large.
The most curious feature Of the situa-
tion is that the South should have con-
tinued for nearly forty years so unswerv-
ing in its political devotion to a party that
has never brought it anything but dis
aster and which is to-day opposed TO all
the national policies that have created the
new South and its unexampled prosperity.
For all the progress the South has made
since the war, and it has been very great,
it is indebted, under Providence. to Re-
publican policies and legislation accom-
plished in spite Of steady and determined
Democratic opposition. Yet, as the con-
gresham above quoted said, the Southern
States will accept any man a Democratic
old platform it promulgates." 1t is a re-
markable case of a people subordinating
their moral and material interests to a
political sentiment which, if it ever had any
reason for existing, has become only the
shadow of a shade. In all other respects
the Southern people are intelligent. pro-
gressive and accessible to reason. They
are thoroughly posted as TO the resources
of the South and have shown keen appre-
citation of and great enterprise in utilizing
the opportunities which Republican policies
and legislation have placed within their
reach; yet they continue to vote for the
party that has done absolutely nothing
for them and whose success in a national
election would have a blighting influence
on every Southern industry. The condition
Is so anomalous hat it would seem it can
not continue permanently. and the sooner
1T ends the better for the South and the
whole country.

THE CARNIVAL SPIRIT.

The staid residents of Danville are pro-
testing seriously against the proposition to
permit a private carnival concern to con-
duct a street fair" in their eminently re-
spectacle town, and they are exactly right
about It. The carnival. street fair, or
whatever 1t may be called, has had a great
run In Indiana, but the Journal knows OF
and there have been very few that have
not resulted in general harm. The military
carnival now in progress at the Statehouse
is something Of an exception in that the
militiamen interested in 1t police it so thor
oughly as to repress anything in the nature
of hoodlumism.
But the carnival, as it Is generally known
throughout Indiana and as it was known in
Indianapolis two seasons, Is distinctly bad,
without sufficient redeeming feature in the
beauty of the parades to offset the harm
done. Generally speaking, it means a lot Of
cheap shows, some Of them more or less
immoral, and a general license among peo-
pie so inclined to "cut loose" to brush
aside the conventions of ordinary conduct,
jostle and hug all the women on the street,
indulge in ribald jokes, and act the rowdy
generally. The whirl of excitement and
strangeness of the thing make it attractive
to young girls whose home training has not
fitted them to cope with such situations.
and the influence on them as well as on the
younger men is deplorable.
The carnival usually brings a crowd to
spend money among the merchants of a
town. but there. are things in the world that
are better than money, and among them are
ideals of conduct and the ~sanctity of young
womanhood, both Of which suffer griev-
ously In the street fair wherein the car
piuol xpfrif'' holds syav
