Anecdotes of Timothy ]. Campbell

bell was a member of Congress and
w. C. Whitney was Secretary of the
Navy The New York delegation, or
perhaps only the Democratic part of it,
was invited one day to a luncheon at
the home of the Secretary. The func-
ton occurred in summer, and Mr..
Whitney's handsome home was as cool
and comfortable as screens, bowed
blinds and other precautions of the
housekeeper could make it. When the
dining room was thrown open it fell
to Mr.. Campbells lot to take in the
hostess. The sight Of the exquistely
appointed table cheered all the guests,
and it elected from Tim" Campbell
an exclamation which bothered him for
many a day.
That's lovely" he said to Mrs. Whit
ney. There's no flies on that, Mrs.
Whitney"
The hostess was startled for a mo-
ment. She was apparently unac-
quainted with the significance of the
intended compliment.

not to be. You see, the servants are
so particular about the screens that
they never allow a single fly to get

An Expensive Bunker.

One of New York's prominent clergy

was playing over the Morristown links
recently with a clubman whose Ian
guage is not always suited to clerical
ears, says the New York Times. After
a badly sliced drive the latter from
force of habit, let fall word or two
which required an apology to his rev.

that, though, I won't vouch for what

agree to pay me dollar for every

Mr. H. looked dubious.
''All right. I'll go you on that" he
said, finally.
All went smoothly for a while until
he "foozled" his drive. when out came
the dollar bill, which the clergyman
quietly pocketed. On the next hole
he drove into the bunker and had to
go down into his pockets again. This
time out came a twenty-dollar bill.

AUTOMOBILES ON TIE STREETS.

No city in the country is better adapt
ed to automobiling than Savannah. and
in none are the Automobiles treated
with greater consideration. The peo-
pie like to see the horseless carriages
spinning about the streets. They lend
to the city an air of prosperity and
BUSINESS that is quite pleasant. Mean
while the automobile people owe it to
themselves and to the citizens general
ly to exercise a greater degree of care
in running their machines, or having
them run, about the streets. General
~ speaking the owner of an automobile
is a careful and considerate person on
the streets and takes pains to avoid
accidents and respect the rights of
others. But it is not so with probably
the majority of the negroes who are
sent to take the machines to their
owners houses, or to return them to
the storage places. Many of these ne
boys, drive the machines through the
streets at full speed, reckless of all pos
sible results and careless of all conse-
quences. That there have been so few
accidents on the streets is owing more
to good luck than to good management
of the flying vehicles. A kindly sug-
gestion in time ought to be sufficient
warning to the auto owners and others,
if they hope to continue to enjoy the
liberties and good will that are now
theirs

PREPARE HOME LANDS FOR
HOMES.

We confess to a good deal of SYM
pathy with the sentiments expressed
by Representative Clark of Missouri
in his remarks on the $9,0OO.O 900 rivers
and harbors bill that was passed by
the House on Monday. Speaking of
the lands in his own state that could
be easily reclaimed and made valuable
for homes, he said: Instead of squan-
dering money to hold the F'flipinos in
subsection, to educate the Hawaiians
and to carry the mail at an exorbl-
tant price to the cannibal islands, you
better be taking care of this land you
have at home" Mr.. Clark also re-
ferred to the acquisition by the United
States of the Sandwich Islands, the
Philippines, Guam and Porto Rico ION
the pretext that homes are wanted for
our children"
1t is a safe proposition that If there
hadn't been so much money spent on
our island possessions there would
have been no opposition to a rivers
and harbors bill this year. Mr.. Clark's
view is that it would be better to
spend our surplus money in improving
our rivers and harbors and in reclaim
ing our lands than to be spending it
on far-away possessions that do not
promise to yield us any adequate re-
turn. At present 1t doesn't look as IL
we should want land for our children
for a century at least, and, not then,
unless the stream of immigration con-
tinues to be as great as it is now. If
II is a question of land for our chill
dren then it would be advisable to be-
gin shutting out immigrants at once
AS matter of fact, however. we
have plenty of lands as yet Mr. Clark
says there are quantities of land in
his state that would be suitable for
homes if it were properly protected
from the river floods. and it is certain
there are millions of unoccupied acres
here in Georgia and other Southern
states that would yield beautifully if
properly cultivated. The government,
instead of sending it's surplus money
to the Philippines, might use 1t in as
sisting the states and counties in build
ing good roads, so as to make these
lands desirable. A few millions of
dollars spent each year in making the
roads of the country what they should
be would result in a rapid increase in
the number of farms, particularly here
in the South.

The Department of Justice is great
ly pleased with the result reached in
the Olsen case, which was tried in
Judge Speer's court. Special Assist
ant District Attorney Leaken, who
handled the case from it's inception
to its conclusion, has been compli-
mented by the department for his
work. The Acting Attorney General
in a letter to Mr.. Leaken says: THE
department is very much pleased with
this verdict and sentence, and con-
graduates you upon the success of
the prosecution" The letter also con-
tanned the information that the Com
missioner of Navigation was very
much pleased. This of course, must be
very gratifying to Mr.. Leaken.
The case was a remarkable one. The
indictment was the first ever found
under the kidnapping statute for the
offense of shanghaiing. Heretofore, the
offense has been punished under an
other statute, which provides only a
fine as the penalty. 1t was not
thought it could be punished under
the kidnapping statute. That fact
gives the case it's chief importance,
since, in future, all such cases will
be tried under that statute. AS long
as only fine was the penalty there
was not much prospect of checking
the offense, and it is a quite common
one at all the ports.
The Olsen case, which was an ag-
gravated one, and for that reason
severe sentence was imposed, will have
a salutary influence 1t will check,
if it doesn't put a stop to shang-
haiing. In future there will be fewer
sailors shipped without their consent,
either while they are in an insensible
condition from liquor or drugs or by
forcible means.

NO TROUBLE ABOUT THE PLAT
EORM.

There isn't going to be any trouble
| about the platform between Judge Par
| ker and Mr.. Hill at the Democratic con-
! vention of New York. We called atten-
/ tion yesterday to the report that the diff
ferences between them as to what the
| platform should contain had cropped
cut An Albany. n. y, dispatch says
/ that these differences have been ad-
! justed, that Mr. Hill has practically
decided to defer to the wishes of Judge
Parker.
II an effort is made at the Demo-
cratic convention of New York to make
an elaborate platform-a platform that
will answer as a basis for the platform
TO be adopted at ST. Louis-there is
| certain to be disclosed a considerable
difference of opinion on several i'm
portant questions. 1t is reasonable to
suppose that Mr.. Hearst and Mr.. Bry-
an will have some friends in the con-
vention. and it is certain they will not
be disposed to accept a platform hav-
ing the stamp of Judge Parker's ap-
prevail upon il.
It is worthy of notice that just as
soon as the announcement was made
that differences as to what should be
put into the platform had arisen be-
tween Judge Parker and Mr.. Hill, there
began at once in the newspapers dis
cussion of the question as to what
Judge Parker should stand for and
what he should not. 1t was made ap-
parent that the two factions OF
the party haven't harmonized yet, and
that it will require a great deal of skill
to bring them together. Unless the
spirit of concession is manifested by
both factions the writing of an accept
able platform will be attended with
much difficulty.
Senator McCarren, who is the leader
of the Brooklyn Democracy, is of the
opinion that there will be no platform
adopted by the Democratic state con-
vention of New York beyond the vari-
Gus routine resolutions. 1t is evident
that this will be the position taken by
those who believe that a declaration
of policy should be left to the National
OOANGilNlOlls II II ANi tam tiieAb q BA'NS
form adopted by the Democrats of New
York would be the subject of a vast
amount of discussion and might result
in shutting Judge Parker out of the
list of candidates. The platform would
be looked upon as expressing his po-
litical views and it would be viciously
attacked by those DESTROYS of prevent
ing his nomination.
1t would not be surprising therefore
if Senator McCarren were right and
that the New York Democrats will de-
fer making any declaration of policy
until after the st. Louis convention.
The outlook at present is that Judge
Parker will be the party's nominee. The
prospect of bringing about harmony in
the party with him as the nominee
seems to be better than with any other
man who has been mentioned in con-
nection with the nomination. Such be-
ing the case a mistake, in the matter
of a platform, by the New York con-
vention would be extremely unfortun-
ate.

THE METHODS OF HIGH FINANCE.

The methods by which some of the
great fortunes of the present time are
accumulated was frankly exposed in
Sundays New York World by Thomas
w. Lawson, known as the Copper
King of Boston. A few days ago Mr..
Lawson on the witness stand in the
Gas Case" said: "a Spectator
and l have had deals aggregating
$780, 100000 between us in the past nine
year. One of these deals shows a
profit of 100000 No writing ever
passed between us in any of these
deals"
That statement aroused a great deal
CT curiosity. Not only because of the
amount of profits in a single transac-
tion, but because of the fact that there
was no writing between Mr.. -
and Mr.. Lawson in regard to their
business deals. And why was no rec
ord kept?
In the interview referred to Mr.. Law
son says they were all illegal. They
wouldn't bear investigation. If the
courts had been called upon to restore
the money to the people from whom it
was taken it would have been restored.
In the case in which $46,00O,OOO profit
was made the public was relieved of
its money by what Mr.. Lawson calls
"a trick of finance" In the course of
his interview he said: II say it stands
to reason on the face of the PROPOSE
ton that if an undeniable, unatera-
BILE record had been made of how this
SAG, 900, 900 was transferred from the
people to the men in question, it would
be self-evident that once that record
got back to the people, after they had
found that their $46,000,000 had been
taken away from them, it would be
merely a simple matter of their go
ing to the courts and having it re-
turned to them
OF course Mr.. Lawson does not re-
fer to the methods of doing business
in the Stock, Cotton and other ex-
changes. No doubt he has in mind in
stances where stock, having very lit
tie real value, was unloaded on the pub
lie at high prices, the public having
DSen Indue 10 DeiieNS ny Adloe Ut HlSn-
ly colored statements that it's value
was much greater than it was.
1t is not to be wondered at in view
of such methods of parting the pub
lie from its money that there is being
gradually developed a feeling against
the rich. Either the accumulation of
fortunes by such methods will have
to be checked or this feeling will de-
velop to troublesome proportions.
The accumulation of vast fortunes
in few hands is a menace to the
country. especially when so many OF
the fortunes are accumulated by the
methods described by Mr.. Lawson.
How this can be done is one of the
problems not yet solved.
