To Mech Luxury.

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness are inalienable rights of man. BY
the pursuit of happiness is generally
understood the endeavor to be as COM
Portable and free from care as we can be.
Men slave and save that they may some
day be enabled to live in luxury. As a
rule the attainment of luxury, if at all,
comes after the period when we are
capable of enjoying it, But is luxury a
good thingi Didn't the poverty and
rigor of olden days produce more virile
set of peopIel Are the steam heat, lux
urous baths, thousand and one house
hold conveniences not producers Of
eifemnacyi Are young people reared
in such surroundings as capable and
energetic as those formerlyl Luxury
may be and very often is very much over
done. Sleep in an unheated room. Wash
in cold water. Chop your own kindling
occasionally. Walk to your office. Don't
get soft, and thus lay the seeds Of dis
ease.--Knoxvile Sentinel.

Death of Senator Marcus A. Hanna.

After an illness OF two mouths, which
had not been regarded as dangerous until
abont ten days ago, when typhoid fever de-
evloped, Senstor Marcus A. Hanna, of
Ohio, sank peacefully to rest at 6 40 o'clock
last Tuesday evening, at his apartments at
the Arlington Hotel in Washington.
After rallying slightly several times
during the day. the sinking spell that pre-
ceeded the end began about $50, the
physicians in attendance notifying the
family that the heroic struggle with death
was about over,
Mrs. Hanna did not witness the clos
ing of her beloved husbands eyes, having
late in the afternoon been given a narcotic
by the physicians, and placed to bed for a
brief respite for her almost continuous
watch for days in the death chamber. He
will be buried at his home at Clevland Ohio.

President.

1t becomes more evident every day
that the Democratic party is not going
to adopt Republican principles, policies
and methods just to please the gang of
sulkers and boilers who encompassed its
defeat in the two last Presidential cam
paigns. If errors were made in those
campaigns, they will be corrected~by the
men who supported the nominee, and
not by the sulkers and traitors who de-
feated him. The party will suffer no
more dictation from its secret enemies
than it would from its open foe, the Re

More Stopping Over.

The reported movement started in At
lanta to raise a subscription of $4,000, 900
with which to purchase warship for
Japan is far more sentimental than prac-
tical. Unless the war is prolonged be-
yond all reasonable expectations it will
be ended long before warship could be
built. If the money should be raised it
could be made more helpful in the pres
ent crisis by turning it into the Japanese
Treasury to be used in the purchase of
supplies, and stilLit would be but drop
in the great financial waste basket of
war. Nashville Banner.

Let's Pay Debts.

Mrs. Grundy didn't agree with the Fall
cons suggestion that the State taxes should
be cut down and the accumulation of sur
pluses in the treasury stopped. She thinks
surplus is good thing and that the taxes
are not burdensome. This may be true,
but State has no just right to take more
taxes from its people than are absolutely
necessary to run the State government
upon an economical bases. If the State
desires large school fund, let ii levy a
tax for that purpose, but it should not di-
vide money collected for general purposes
for any specific purpose, especially when il
owes debts long since due,-Lynchburg
