NEW NOMINATING SYSTEM.

1t is quite probable that the Demo
cratic Executive Committee of the
Seventh Congressional District will
follow the example of the committee
in this district in selecting a candi-
date for Congress. L. P. Padgett, the
present member. has no opposition,
and it is not believed that he will
have any, and it is thought that the
committee will obviate the trouble
and expense of a primary or conven-
ton by formally declaring him the
nominee, after giving notice of their
intention to do so unless other candi-
dates announce by given date. The
method was pursued once during the
incumbency of Congressman Cox and
proved very satisfactory. Nashville

Why should not the matter be left to
the Democratic Executive Committee
of Maury County? 1t is nominating for
the district now, and if it can select a
nominee for Senator for three counties
it can select nominee for congress
for nine counties. And why give
notice? The committee did not give
any in selecting the senatorial NOM

Professor l.. G. Howard of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, has just
returned from the South where he
studied crop foes and parasites. He
thinks that an effective enemy of . the
cotton boil weevil has been found in
"a large, reddish brown ant which
protects the cotton in Guatemala.
These ants spread themselves over
cotton fields four or FIVE to plant,
and busy themselves in eating the
destructive weevil. Whether this
tropical insect can learn to hibernate
as far north as our Gulf States. is the
problem still unsol, ed. 1t lives in
subterranean tunnels. three feet under
ground. The find has excited lively
hopes IN the breast of the Secretary of
Agriculture. The Secretary should
begin In time to find sonnet hing to eat
up the ants after they shall have de-
voured the boil weevil.

TIE moDERNIzED CHURCH.

The Methodist Episcopal Church. al
their general conference in Los Angeles,
California. refused 10 modify in the
least the time honored attitude of the
church ON the subject Of prohibited
amusements.
The church has fallen into the COM
mon error of the day, in having laws
and not enforcing them. 1t were
better for the State TO repeal the best
law on its statute books. than TO keep
it there and make no pretence 10 en-
force it. And it were better for the
church to repeal any rule it has, than
to permit its members to violate it with
IMMUNITY.
Violated laws brings Law into CON
tempt Violated church rules brings
reproach upon the Church.
AT that first pentecostal prayer
meeting before any uenominational
lines were ever drawn. and in the
early days of the church after denomi-
national lines were drawn, church
people generally, were peculiar
people, Jealous of good works. - And
then it was that the Church had its
marvellous growth and its almost mirac-
ulous power over the hearts and lives
of men and of rations
But by degrees TIE Church has be-
come modernized the mourners
bench lis disappeared you don't
have to come out from the crowd
and wallow in the straw to get
through - all you have to do is
to raise your hand or bow your head
or elevate your brow and pay your
dues. and a peripatetic evangelist and
a paid choir will do the balance. And
the church people are less peculiar
than they we're; and less Jealous of
good works" than they were. While
the Church was being modernized, its
was being worldlyized,
until now you can hardly tell 'tother
from which-the child of the world or
the child of the Church. For cards
and cursing, dancing and drinking,
we will pit some church members in
his town against any workings on the
ACE of the earth. Hence it is that
you hear mournful sound from the
pulpits all over the land, that the
pulpit has lost its power, and the
church members their spirituality.
And the reason of that is, that the
,hurch people are no longer "a peculiar
people," And the reason of that is,
he Church no longer enfo1ces its rules
~ disciplining its members. And the
eason of that is, the church officials
lave not the courage to do so.
Eye cannot serve both God and
nammon. That is not original with
he Herald. You will find it recorded
lsewhere if you win read up carefully
II the subject.

TIE VACATION HABIT.

Uncle Russell Sage. who j. a sagS
only in name and seer only in money
making is opposed TO the vacation
habit. A" You might expect that and
no more from a man who has wasted
his life grovelling after dirty dollars
We doubt if he has tasted the pure
fresh air of the country or inhaled the
aroma of a new mOwn clover field, in
nifty years. Sky scrapers TO the east
and TO the west of him so obscure his
vision that he has not seen the beauty
: of a sun rise or the red glory of al
evening sky, for half century per-
7 haps. That delicious houI Of the day.
the evening twilight, is unknown TO
/ New York and 10 Russell Sage. The
soothing. refreshing. Inellowing houI
of ''duslIv dark never comes; the
hush of evening is never felt; the roar
of noises never ceases And Mr.. Sage
his so long been divorced from the
beauties of nature, and So long Injured
t. the prison life of the city, that his
vision has taken on narrow and low
range. and he can see no higher than
the house tops, nor hear any music
other than the jingle of his gold. He
is too far stepped in that mistaken
habit. to change. BY all means let
him enjoy it as best he can, to the
end.
Commenting upon Mr.. Sages theory
of living the Nashville American says:
'MI. Sage is a money -grubbeI. Men
who do far more work than he. men
who are at the head of great concerns
in the field of industrial activity, find
they can do more work in ten months
than they can in twelve, If two months
are spent in judicious change and rest.
There is pleasure to be found in labor, |
satisfaction in active, honest work /; |
but the vital forces are not best con- /
served by incessant toll. According to !
the logic of Mr. Sage's theory the in
mates of the penitentiaries live the
sane and model life. They take no
vacations; they waste no time amid
the fields and woods; they have no
diversions, no change of scene OF labor
or thought; they work six days a
week they eat PLAIN food and dress
they waste no money
in riotous living or on music or flowers
or books or amusement OF their friends;
they merely eat and sleep and labor.
They may not save as much as Mr..
Sage, but they will carry as much
away with them when they go to their
long account AS economiZers of time.
as frugal livers and ideal toilers we
suggest to Mr.. Sage the gentlemen in
stripes. -

The family of Senator Quay forbade
all display at the funeral and requested
|, that the rites should be as simple and
inexpensive as possible. But the
authorities at Washington felt that it
would be a grievous wrong for any
Senator to be buried without ostenta-
ton. So two special trains of cars
were chartered and Members and Sena-
tors were summoned from distant
states to come to Beaver, Pa, at the
expense of the government. There were
thirty or forty members of the House,
and Senators Pen1ose, Frye, Allison,
Aldrich, Alger, Elkins, GallingeI,
Hansborough. Stewart. Plat, Alice,
Foraker, Mitchell, German, Daniel,
Teller, Dubois, Cockerall, Tillman,
Blackburn and McLaurin. 1t has cost
the government at least s., 000. The
at Washington is becoming
intoleIabIy disgusting.

| Three or four years ago. when the
political exigencies demanded it, the
Filipinos were likened to savages and
Apaches. There are fifty now making
the grand rounds of observation in
tlis country and Secretary Taft says
they are Gentlemen of culture and
refinement. - A hundred Filipino
students have wintered in California
and Prof. Gates of Pomona College
says: They are doing exceedingly
we'll without exception. 1t would be
hard to the extent of practical i'm
possibility to pick out any haphazard
bunch of students of whom the same
could be said. y Yet, as in the case of
the Porto Ricans, it has been decided
that they cannot be allowed to practice
law in this country because they are
not citizens, and cannot be allowed to
become naturaliZed, because they are
