Jefferson and Parker.

Yesterday was the birthd ay of
that great apostle of Democracy and
human liberty Thomas Jefferson
The anniversary was celebrated last
night by the IroquoisClub of Chica-
go, and speeches were made by
Senators Carmack, Culberson, Pat
terson and Newlands, Gen. Miles,
Adlai Stevenson, William f. Villas.
Mayor Harrison and Gov. Garvin.
of Rhode Island. An article on
Jefferson by Judge Alton B. Par
ker has been published recently. II
was written a few weeks ago for the
Jefferson Memorial Association.
which is undertaking to raise fluids
for the erection in Washington of a
monument to Jefferson.
In this article referring to the
Declaration of Independence, Judge
Parker says: "The words of Jeffer
son in that document, signed by the
peoples representatives, not only
made the people think, but it show
ed that there is no divinity thai
doth hedge an unjust king; 1t level
ed the barriers of caste and taught
the people to see that there is no
true ~arlstocracy except it be found
ed upon virtue and talent; it told
men that they were entitled to the
free use of the natural gifts of God
to the right to labor and % ell
Joy the fruits of that labor; to the
right TO the heretofore unenjoyed
prerogatives of life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness so far as was
consistent with the equal rights of
all. 1t revealed to the people that
they were the source from which
sprung all power lodged in govern
ment, and that providence had not
sent a few men into the world,
ready booted and spuIred, to rule,
and millions, ready saddled and
bridled, to be ridden"
Concerning Jefferson's faith in
the people, Judge Parker writes:
"There is one sublime idea of which
Jefferson is the greatest exponent
and concerning which he was ever
as consistent as is the sun in his
rising and his setting, aud that was
faith in the wisdom of the people as
the final arbiters of all public
questions &. jefferson has rightly
been called the apostle of individual
ism. When he gave liberty to the
individual he also bestowed upon
him character. He knew that the
character of the State mirrors forth
the character OF the citizen, and
that a government is admirable or
otherwise according to the aggre-
gate of culture in the ~populace."
Judge Parker is a Democrat of
the Jeffersonian school, having
faith in the people and confidence
in their aggregated wisdom. He is
the apostle of no new Democracy of
radicalism and revolution, but &C.
cording to all his acts and u~tterances
is a Democrat whom all Demo Gratis
can cherrfully support. Nashville

ficing heroism, which have caused
him to be loved and honored by all
who love dauntless courage and un-
selfish patriotism. We indorse him
because in every relation of life he
has been true to himself, true to his
friends and true to his country; and
it would be the height of ingrati-
tude to take from him in his de-
Ginning years the honor which he
has so worthily won and which only
in part rewards him for the faithful
service which he rendered, for the
wounds which he received and the
blood he shed in defense Of his be-
loved South"
G. A. Stainback, of Fayette
county, presented a minority report,
in which he asked that the conven.
ton not lndorse any candidate for
United States Senate. His report
was Immediately tabled and the
majority report was adopted amid
loud applause. In fact, at times
MI. Fitzhugh was unable to read
the resolution, so enthusiastic did
the convention become over the
mention of Bates name.
Judge j. M. Greer was then per-
mItted to take the floor, and in a
brief but eloquent speech he placed
NJ. X. Patterson In nomination for
Congress. The convention became
enthusiastic over the nomination of
Patterson, ana every county through
some delegate seconded the nominal
ton.

The denomination of a candidate

The denomination of a candidate
for Congress, without opposition,
is something unusual in the Tenth
District, but such an honor was
conferred upon Hon. M. r Patter-
son Tuesday. In the past, this dis
trict has been the scene of many
iercely fought political battles aud
the party has been rent IL twain

When - as aago-1ceo al> eau
didacy, the politicsi feeling over
the district was intensely bitter
against his lamented father, and his
closest friends even had grav We
doubts of his success, SO much SO
that they attempted to dissuade him
from making the race; bat he was
determined, and said that if he
could meet the people he believed
he would win. He had faith
in the people and confidence 10 him

course in Congress has been clean.
dignifed and able. He has been
prompt in attendance upon its ses-
sions, loyal to his party and faith
full to his constituents. He is
recognized by his fellow members
as an exceptionally brilliant mar
and has been placed upon important
committees. His remarks are al
ways sensible and to the point and
are given marked attention. His
days of usefulness as a public SER
want are just beginning. Men of
his stripe, who have honor and
merit, should be kept in office.
The BULLETIN desires to c~ongratu-
late Mr.. Patterson, also the people
of the Tenth District, upon his re-
nomination, which is equivalent to
an election.

A HANDSOME Confederate monu

A HANDSOME Confederate monu-
ment was unveiled at Gallatin,
Tenn, on September 90, 1908.
Among the speakers on that oc-
casion was Hon. E. w. Carmack
We make the following extracts
from his eloquent and appropriate
remarks: "Th1s monument, let me
say, is raised no! simply to tell the
world of the valor and fortitude
of the Confederate soldier-they
have builded for themselves a mon
ument more lasting than brass and
higher than the regal summit of the
pyramids, a monument broad based
on the universal admiration of man
kind, and which will tower to
heaven when the stateliest mem ri ais
of princes shall be trampI,d into
formiess aud upballowed dust No,
my friends, this monument is not to
perpetuate their glory. Its chief
purpose is to proclaim that you, my
countrymen, are proud TO honor
their deeds and to claim them as
the noblest heritage of yourselves
and your children forever. If you
shall ever cease to do so, this moDu-
ment to their glory will be a monu-
ment to your shame. | know
that no such dishonor will ever
brand the laureled brow Of this
proud and historic old county
a county which gave three thousand
of her best and bravest to the cause
of the South; whose valor was tried
and tested in the blaze and thunder
of the greatest war that ever shook
the earth, who stood with the suffer
ing South through four stormy
years on the red edge of battle, un-
til every field was drenched and
every river ran red with the blood
of her sons. And suffer me here to
pay my humble tribute to one of the
many hero sons of Sumner County,
one whose name will ever be glori-
Gus in the records of fame, who,
thank God! is still spared to be the
shepherd of his people, a shining
example of civic virtue as of martial
valor. Full of years, full of fame,
and full of honors, he will bear with
him to the grave the blessings of
his country and a record without
the spot of an unworthy or an I'M
knightly deed. Until Sumner
County becomes ashamed of an in
tegrity that knows no weakness and
a valor that knows no fear, it will
exult in the name and fame of Will
liam B. Bate"

ADDITION PLANNED

ESTIMATED COST $4,000
Eastern Capitalist to Invest
More Money Here.
ESTIMATED COST $4,000

Providing present plans do not mis-
carry, Edgar Harding, the muitI-million-
aire of Boston. who owns the Sedgwick
block, Wichita's largest Office building.
an addition to cost in the neighborhood
of between $4,000 and 5000 vii lbe erect
ed to that building within a short time.
In response to a letter received by G.
NJ Dickson, who as member OF the firm
of Allison & Dickson, is custodian of
that block, from Mr.. Harding, survey
has been made of additional property
situated north of the present building
and the figures have been sent 10 him.
Additional information desired from MT.
Dickson by Mr.. Harding was an estimate
and the former idea as TO what kiho
of a building it would be best to erect.
Mr.. Dickson is of the opinion that he VIII
receive within a short time, information
from Mr. Harding concerning the erec-
ton of the addition and telling at what
time the work is to commence.
Mr.. Harding is known to have figured
frequently on an addition to the Sedg-
wick block within the past several years.
but il was not until now that he has
commenced to have plans made and the
work of erecting the structure begun at
an early date.
In addition to the property on which
the Sedgwck block is situated, Mr.. Hard
ing owns 66 feet directly to the north or
that building which extends to the alley
in the rear. AS planned the new addi-
ton will cover practically all of this
space.
The addition, so far as is now known.
will be three story brick building with
a frontage of 80 feet. The remaining
space of l6 feet owned by Mr.. Harding
will be vacant between the big build
ing and the annex to allow ventilation.
The ground floor of the annex will be
built into two big store rooms, while the
upstairs floors will be divided off and
made into up-to-date family APARTMENTS
A roof on the annex viii extend to the
third floor of the big building thereby
furnishing protection from the weather
to the space between the two buildings.
1t is said by business men of this city
who recall the time when the Sedgwick
DlOck came INTO lle pOSStSSAOii VI WI
Harding, that he was not particularly
pieased with the proposition. That was
during the time when Wichita was not
quite so prosperous as it X at present.
Mr. Harding was given possession of
the building and the site which II oo-
cupies through a mortgage which ne
held the property. Now, however.
Mr. Harding is undoubtedly well pleased
with his interests in Wichita, in fact. so
much so, that he contemplates investing
still more money here.
Il expect a letter from Mr.. Harding
within a few days" said Mr. Dickson,
yesterday. AT that time we will have
full details of his plans for erecting the
addition
At the present 66 feet of ground to the
north of the SedgwicK block owned by
Mr. Harding. is occupied by a one-story
frame dwelling. That will be moved away
prior to the time that work will be COM
menced on the addition.
