HILL ANn BELMONT.

The wise newspaper correspondents.
who reported the meeting of the Demo-
cratic Committee last week. and who
watched the proceedings at Esopus
when Mr.. Murphy. the Tammany lead
er. visited Judge Parker on Thursday.
said that former Senator Hill had been
given a back-seat in the Parker band
wagon and that August Belmont was
cuffed by the National Committee.
1t is true that on the occasion of the
visit of Mr., Murphy at Esopus Mr..
Hill did not seem to take very active
part in the proceedings. and that he
said to a reporter that he was not
much in evidence these days. but there
is no doubt that he is just as close
to Judge Parker as he ever was. And
there is no reason why he shouldn't
be. He managed Judge Parker's cam
paign for the nomination just as we'll
as it could be managed, and there isn't
much doubt that il it hadn't been for
him some other name would he at the
head of the National Democratic ticket.
He has been criticised for some things
he said at St. Louis, and condemned
for a good many things he has done
during his political career. Some of
the politicians and newspapers have
been saying that he is as d milestone
about Judge Parker's neck. Therefore,
ker hand wagon. But he hasn't lost
his influence with Judge Parker. No
doubt both of them are of the opinion
that it would be better for the ticket
if Mr.. Hill shouldn't be as conspicuous
in the campaign for the presidency as
he was in the campaign for the nomi-
nation for Judge Parker. He has Pc
litical enemies, as all strong public
charact have. and these enemies
will not hesitate to strike at him, even
chances of success. Mr.. Hills advice
will be potent in the campaign, and if
Judge Parker should be elected Mr..
Hill will get his reward.
And the talk about Mr.. Belmont be-
ing cuffed by the National Committee
is nonsense. Mr.. Belmont would
have liked to be made chairman of the
National Committee, and he would
have managed the campaign with
shrewdness and judgment. but it was
felt that he was too shining a mark
for the opposition papers-that he was
too close to Wall street and the trusts.
He said himself that it wouldn't be
advisable in the present temper of the
people in respect to trusts, for him to
be at the head of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee and conduct the
campaign. Therefore he gracefully
acquiesced in the decision of the COM
mittee. In fact, it isn't certain but
that he withdrew before the commit
tee was prepared to act on the ques-
ton of the craftsmanship.
Mr.. Hill and Mr. Belmont will be in
fuential in the campaign. They are
not sulking. They understand politics
and do not seek to force themselves
to the front when the chances for sue
cess seem to demand their effacement.
The other Democratic leaders think
none the less of them for being salts
fed with a back seat in the Parker
band wagon.

his name.

number of engagements on that day,
unless your business is a question of
life or death" said the rector, with a
twinkle in his eyes.

said the young woman, looking at the
young man, who was getting his cane
badly tangled up with his legs
You had better call me up on the
phone early Thursday" said the rector.
i am just arranging to start on my
vacation for the summer and hope to
get away the last of the week"
For the summer" inquired the
Election. oh you must not go away,

We'll, my dear girl if I am to be

without fail But why not now?"
'Oh, not to-day, doctor. We are not
quite ready, you know"
well, you might name the day now,
if it be soon, and 1 shall be at your
service"
The couple held a conference in the
corner. At the finish the young wom-
an said they had agreed on Thursday.
Shall it be in the church or in your
home?" asked the rector.
In the church, if you please, doc
tor"
will there be an announcement? q
asked the rector.

riage," said the rector, who was be-
coming slightly confused himself.
MARRIAGE" asked the young wom-
an, and the young man echoed the in
quiry, "Marriage?" And then the
young woman, taking her cue, said:
We've been married a year-near-
ly."
And the young man echoed, Yes,
nearly"
You never told me-" said the rec
tor.
NO, we never told anyone until
recently; did We Harry?'
Not until recently" echoed Harry
Then, what is it you wish? Come

"Ah, bless you, my children. Any

Moral courage of a high order was
shown Saturday by the people of Bull
loch county in their actions with re-
spect to the Hodges murder. 1t would
have been easy to permit rage and
mob law a free hand A most hor-
rible crime had been committed by
certain human fiends: a quick rope
and a short shift would have avenged
the foul deed. But the Bulloch count y
people would not permit the disgrace of
a lynching to rest upon their
county. They promptly took a stand,
on the right side, for law and order
and the UNFOLDING of the duly estab-
lished processes for the punishment
of crime. That the guilty will be pun
ished as they deserve to be is a morally
assured fact. The murderers will be
carried into court, convicted and hang
ed. all according to law. Statesboro's
example is one to be commended TO
other communities that may suddenly
find themselves wrought up by the
presence of a heinous crime The
Statesboro men have shown their An
glo-Saxon love of and respect for legal
authority.

Visits Of certain prominent Demo-

past week have made the occasion for

The Massachusetts Department of
Labor has been making some inquiry
into the question as TO whether week.
ly payments to workingmen are con-
ducive to their welfare. 1t is assert
ed that a certain proportion of work.
ingmen invariably indulge in drink
ing, in a spree. when they receive
their MageS When they are paid
weekly, there results spree every
seventh day. whereas if they receive
their wages once a month there is
only one spree a month. The depart
ment has sought information along
these lines, but what it has found
proves nothing conclusively That
there are men who will get drunk
whenever they have an opportunity is
very well known. Equally well known
is the fact that such men will make
the opportunity more or less often,
whether pay, day comes once a week
or once a month. If they haven't the
ready cash for liquor, they will borrow
or beg it, or stand of" the rum-sell-
er. But men of that kind are not
typical American workingmen. They
seldom II ever hold frst-class jobs
they are nearly always out of work
and growing about the hard times.
The American is too free spender.
He may be called a spendthrift, in
deed. His money goes much easier
than It comes. But the typical Ameri-
can workngman does not rush off and
get drunk every time he draws pay.

Certain citizens of Mississippi recent
ly established a new town and named
it Vardaman, in honor of the Governor
of the state. The postoffice authorities
in Washington were notified of the
matter and requested that the name
of the postoffice be made Vardaman.
This, it appears, the postal people have
declined to comply with. Gov. Varda-
man is not in high favor in admins
tration circles in Washington. because
of his pronounced views on the race
question, and the Postoffice Depart
ment has charged itself with the re-
sponsibility of administering a snub
to him in the matter of this Mississippi
postoftice's name. There seems of
late to have been an extraordinary
