Give Him a Back Seat.

Chattanooga Times. '- -..
 Senator James K. Jones has given it out as his opinion that theN most unpop- ular Democrat in the South today is Gro- yer Cleveland" MT. Jones has so often demonstrated the inacuracy of his views on public matters that the very fact of his making a positive statement suggests the suspicion that it is wrong. The peo- pie of Arkansas recently notified MT. Jones of the propriety of his going as far back in the auditorium as he could get and there taking a seat out of the way of the people who do things more with their brains and their hands and less with their mouths. MT. Jones ought to have learned by this time that he isn't even the son of A DroDhet

There must be a wonderful measure of the milk of human kindness in the New Haven Register, when 1t expresses the opinion that Mir. Roosevelt is not happy over his connection with Addicks." and that he "has an aversion to him" It is a kindly sentiment, no doubt but The Register should be able to see the other side of the question. and realize the posi- ton in which it places the President. If he does not like Addicks he must stick to him because he is afraid of him, or be- cause he feels that he can profit through Addicks's dirty tricks. Neither of these positions is creditable to a President of the United States. yet one of them is

The First Fruits.

Louisville Courier Journal.
 But a little more than two years ago, in the administration of President Me Kinley. who would not have scoffed at the prophecy that the leading issue recog- nized by one of the political parties of Maryland In the third year of the Twen- tieth Century, would be the race issue? ? And such is among the first fruits of the administration of man who began it with the public proclamation that he would follow in the footsteps of William MpKin1ay

To Punish Banks.

Washington telegram to N. Y. Herald.
 Secretary of the Treasury Shaw has def initely decided to withdraw Government deposits from all banks reducing their circulation to take advantage of the high price of United States bonds when such banks are already designated as United States depositories. He will furthermore refuse to grant applications from new banks desiring to become Government de- positories unless they agree to maintain their circulation at present figures.

Morgan in a Hotel.

Senator John T. Morgan, who spent several days in Washington, after com ing from Warm Springs, Va, where he has been since Congress adjourned and before leaving for Alabama, stopped at the Shoreham Hotel The Senator has not slept inside a Washington hotel for many years. He usually seeks the seclu- sion of his home at 315 John Marshall Place, but it happened that the premises, having been tightly closed for the sum- mer, had not been re-opened for occu- pancy, so the Senator perforce sought the public house.
 Other visitors from Alabama registered in Washington hotels today:

Landers in Washington.

W. Guy Landers, Jr., the young man who on Monday last was killed while re- sisting arrest at Edna, Texas, and who shot the sheriff and his deputy to death who had a warrant for his arrest on the charge of forgery, was a Georgian and we'll remembered here by certain em- ployes of the Postoff1ce Department. Through the influence of Representative Livingston, of the Atlanta district, young Landers was given appointment as a laborer at $660 a year in the redemption division of the department, serving from March 3, 1900, to August l, 1901, when he resigned. Before he quit the department he had appropriated and sold for their face value in Atlanta 1000 stamped en- velopes. He was prosecuted in Georgia but escaped punishment through the clemency of the judge and the fact that there was only one witness against him a negro
 The chief of his division recalls that Landers was a smooth young fellow of plausible pretensions. He succeeded in imposing upon the confidence of his fel- low employees for sundry sums of money. After he left the department he went as far west as Hawaii and worked banks back and forth sor worthless check and drafts. Going to Texas, he posed as an investor in rice, oil and cattle lands and obtained various sums from the natives. He is said to be long to a respectable family of which M. H. Landers is the head, at Monroe. Ga.

 If every male man among us should speak his real feelings there would go up "a chorus of 'amens" that would jar the atmosphere. Cuffs were probably invent cd by some fellow whose sleeves were too maaovs to hide the marks the hand-cuffs left on his wrists and all mankind imag- ines it has a scar to hide.

 Particular as to Company.
 The first occasion was the Booker Washington dinner. Next was his treat ment of Senator Tillman. His latest absurdity. the Lpton-yacht-club affair, Is pointed to as an other illustration of his political cowardice and shallow dema- goguery. After making the blunder of declining to sit at table with Sir Thomas the responsibility was shouldered upon the private secretaries. Their explana- tions have not helped matters. They said that the President did not like to be mak- ing too much of foreigners.
 They said too that the President was very particular about the kind of guests he sat with at entertainments. It Is sug gested here that that Is fact of his social creed which he made plan to Booker Washington on the occasion of the famouss luncheon, news of which was given to the press from the White House on typewriter slips.
 most absurd piece of political gossip has just appeared in The Washington Evening Star which has been ever an ardent aspirant to be organ of the ad- ministration It is to the effect that the Democratic Congressional Committee has on foot between Wall Street and the trades unions a scheme to defeat the nomination of MT. Roosevelt. In the first place the Democratic Congressional Com mittee is doing very little work of any kind except the collation. of literature for future reference. In the second and most important place of all considera- tions the Democratic committeeman as do most other Democrats cherish the trembling hope that nothing will inter- fere with the nomination of MT. Roose- welt. Why should Democrats, seek to prevent the nomination of MT. Roosevelt, unless they feared him. Do they fear him? Less than any Republican that could be named in connection with the choice of President.

The Knoxville Sentinel makes a bitter assault on General Buckner, asserting that he has finally descended to his lev el." To this The Chattanooga Times re- plies:
 Here is a newspaper whose editor was born several years after the bloouy con- @ict in which General Buckner was a con- aptcuous. brave and honored participant fefleoting not only upon the courage of an honorable gentleman and dauntless soldier. but by innuendo, assailing his fidelity to the cause in which he was en- listed, and his integrity as well. And for What2 Becauso as a free born American citizen he Is exercising his right to fudge Cor himself which of two political organ- ixations in his native State presents the stronger claim to the support of honor able. patriotic citizens. General Buck ners long and honorable public service. his irreproachable private life and stain less character protect him among con servative, sober-minded pe0ple. but they do not save him from the contumenous attScks of the partisan organ. But for. fufIately in late years the attack of the party organs is always discounted by 8 eenerous public, and their venom has come to injure no one else as much as il does themselves.

SUNDAY, sEPrEMBER 20, 1908.
A MIXED CONDITION.

The strangest story we have read in a long time is that of New York man and his wife who were in a railroad wreck. Their skulls were broken and a portion of their brains fell out. Sldllful surgeons replaced the brain matter, patched up the fractured skulls and both recovered. So far there is nothing strange, for such re- eoveries are not unknown, but the curious part sNesrln the fact that the doctors, nut some of the woman's brains in the mans head and vice versa. Now neither knows which Is whom. The man Is constantly in5AginiHg himself the wife and the wo- mkn as constantly thinks she is the hus- band.
 It is easy to see what complications may result from this mixing business. True, it is not unusual for people to i'm agine vain things. We have known people who really thought themselves great, but that was because their brains were mis- placed. They don't do much harm and are sometimes amusing. Then, too. there axA numerous cases on record where a luhatic. has insisted that he was fowl,  one.
 In the case before us the complications are much more confusing and likely to be perpetual. for we presume there is no surgeon who will undertake to assort these mixed brains and restore them to their normal places. In the language of the immortal William:
 The time has been,
 That when the brains were out the man
 would die,
 And there an end.
 Surgery has made great advances since that day. Human brains are taken out and replaced and the patient gets we1l. but so far as we now remember this is the first instance where portions of this delicate part of our anatomies have been put into the wrong receptacles. and the trouble this may cause in the daily lives pf this unfortunate couple may at times Dc amusing but in other instances they must be both humiliating and pathetic. One can easily imagine the constant suc- Session of annoying contretemps growing put of such a condition and pity the par 9aes who are so afflicted.
