A CREDIT TO THE WHOLE
SOUTH.

The special edition, with art supple
ment, which the Evening Sclmitar, OF
Memphis, Tennessee, has gotten out TO
celebrate its occupation of its splendid
new building is not only a credit to the
whole South. but to American Journal
Ism. This art supplement is OF one hun
dred and twelve pages, bound IN n very
handsome cover, with picture OF <ioe
Soto viewing the Mississippi from the
Chickasaw Bluffs, handsome enough to
be framed as an ornament on any man
wall. The ono hundred and twelve
pages are as profusely Illustrated as any
similar publication we have ever seen,
and tells most graphically and instruc-
lively tho story Of Memphis marvellous
progress. We rejoice too much In the
prosperity of our sister city to envy them
anything, but IL we permitted such SEN
timent, It would be to envy the city OF
Memphis the ability and enterprise which
has been exhibited in the house warming
edition of the Evening scimitar.

RELIGIOUS. LIBERTY.

In q sermon delivered in Baltimore
on Sunday last on christianity and
Civilization" the Rev. Madison @. Peters
said that Maryland was not as many peo-
ple seemed to think the pioneer in religious
liberty. but was, In fact, among the
last of the States to grant full religious
! liberty and equal rights before the law.
cts religious freedom" he went on,
was limited to those within the pro-
vince who believed In Jesus Christ and
was accompanied by proviso which de-
clared that any person who denied the
Trinity should be punished with death.
Maryland was. therefore. no place for
Jew or anyone not believer In Chris
tianity. Even after the Revolution,
though under tho Constitution of the
United States n Jew was eligible to any
office. no one could hold any office under
tho government Of Maryland without
signing a declaration that he believed In
the Christian religion. In 1901, and again
in 1901. earnest efforts We're made in the
Maryland Legislature to repeal this In
tolerant provision. but failed to pass
upon each occasion, more than two-thirds
of tho members voting against Its re-
peal. In 1878. after three days debate,
the bill favorlng the removal of these dis
abilities was again defeated by q vote
of "a to go. On February 26. 1926. the bill
according to tho Jew his full civil rights
was passed by both houses of the Leg
islature. 1t was ratified at the succeed
Ing session and became law"
In view of these facts 1t is not sur
prislng that Thomas Jefferson. the great.
est Democrat of his day and generation
and tho true expounder of Democratic
principles should have regarded as the
proudest act of his life his authorship
of "the statute for Virginia Of religious
| freedom"
That law Is to-day the pride OF every
true Democrat, yet strangely enough. II
| we may Judge from utterances every now
and then from the hastings and In the
public print, there are men In Virginia
to-day who do not believe In 1t. except sc

RITCHIE AS AN ORATOR.

The Petersburg Index-Appeal disagrees
with DR.. Ihraves In his biography Of Fa-
Their Richie, In so far that he states that
the distinguished editor was "a clear and
earnest and at times eloquent speaker"
The 1ndex-Appeal Is informed by some
Of those who have beard Mr.. Richie
speak that he was tedious, dldactic and
unintercsting. and had none OF tho graces
of the orator" It adds that his speeches
were prepared with care, but that he did
not read them we'll, and 1t refers to a
'.notabie failure" Richie made IN Peters,
burg on one occasion.
Our contemporary and the biographer
both may be right in the main In regard
to the orntory OF Mr.. Richie, as tho same
speaker Is often very unequal. Certainly,
Father Ritchic's reputation does not rest
upon his ability as public speaker, but
we arc Informed by a gentleman OF this
city, a scholar Of high standing, that Mr..
Richie was ready. versatile and fluent,
and when in earnest. as he generally was,
could not fail in being impressive" 1t Is
hardly possible that Richie wrote out
his speeches. He may have done 50 Tor
that occasion In Petersburg and failed IN
the delivery Tor the reason given by the
Index-Appeal.
A distinguished Wing orator once COM
menced an address in the old African
Church in quisi off-hand style, made
dead failure. and before he could resume
he had to keep his audience waiting until
his manuscript was brought to him from
tho WING office. If our recollection errs
not, this gentleman was the distinguished
statesman and orator. William G. Rives.
His manuscript he had lent to the editor
of the Wing, SO that proper synopsis
OF his speech might be made for publica-
ton upon the morning after delivery.
AS to Mr.. Ritchie we are Informed that
he developed into speaker quite late In
life, and that no rapidly improved. That
ne spoke we'll, at times eloquently, our
informant assures us is an undoubted
fact. However, different men have differ
ent opinions as to what oratory IS. 1t Is
not thing that can be measured or
gauged by rule.
The views contained in our former arti-
Gle were those OF the biographer, not Of
this paper Mr.. Rltchie's fame as a writer
so far outshone his reputation as speak
er we have rarely heard the latter men
toned at all. We have never listed him
as an orator.
The tobacco factories of that day were
not what they are now, but the weed
was always too valuable to be sighted.
One of the large rooms in which It used to
be .'sweated" furnished the Democrats a
good place of meeting and Mr.. Richie
often was In attendance.

deliberately enslawe themselves In this

4 CANDID HOG.

Several days ago man sitting by the
wayslde near Morristown, N. j., was OBJ
served to have wriggling snake In his
hand. He finally took a bite out OF the
reptile and then began to eat grass. When
arrested he said that he was follower
of Madame Blavatsky and believed In
the theory OF reincarnation.s He declared
that he was the reincarnation Of hog.
and distinctly remembered when he was
in the form, OF a hog, several thousand
years ago, being one of the hord OF swine
mentioned in the Bible which were
drowned in the Sea at Gadira.
This man is fanatic, but we can
not but admire his candor. There are
many reincarnated hogs in society to-
day. but they have not the courage to
confess 1t.
Goats are being used as substitutes for
grass mowers in Waterbury Conn. Thn
trustees OF the Bronson Library there
have contracted for the services Of a
small herd Of Angora goats to keep the
library's handsome and spacious lawn
In trim.
It appears that the grass to be dealt
with Is Of peculiarly obstinate and
sturdy growth and has resisted all or
binary efforts to keep It down.
