"Carpetbagger''-A Definition.

The republican opponents in Tennessee of
II. Clay Evans having raised the cry of car
petbagger against him, The Star asked this
question:
When does man who moves from one
state to another cease TO be a carpet bagger
in the home of his adoption
An answer comes from the Columbia. s.
C., State. which. in the course of a long
editoria says;
"A man who moves from one state TO
another does not necessarily, become d
carpetbagger. He must have moved from
Il northern or Unionist state into south
ern state for purposes of political and
other plumber. He must have been one who
recognized in the helpless condition of the
south. after the marchings and counter
marchings and the harryngs and burnings
OF the armies, a particularly inviting field
for humbuggery and for spoIatIon That is
the sort OF man who was called carpet
Dagger"
Yes, yes. This is in the fine old fiery
style. but 1t does not reach the point. Mr..
Evans has been an hOnored and useful cit
izen Of Tennessee for many years, Identified
with Its growth. trusted by its electora tie
with nigh office, and accredited TO the state
by republican Presidents In appointments
OF national and international Importance
Why attach an epithet which originated In

such man?
Men described by the State made a record
which nobody defends, and for that reason
the word employed to designate them shouId
never be loosely used But politics is a field
which invites all sorts and conditions of
men, and while the unworthy may thrive
for awhile they eventually go by the board
The carpetbaggers were put to rout many
years ago. and IL some Of the states where
they operated even their regulations as
plunderers have been eclipsed by some OF
the men who helped drive them from power.
Note the record of certain state treasurers.
Gnd the popular charges Of graft in city and
state institutions
But the war is over Slavery. which
brought II on, is dead, and its chief mourn
ers today are a few old overseers-men

congenial employment since-who lost their
dirty Jot4s and their bull whius by the
stroke Of MI Lincoln's mercifuI pen Since
then many excellent southern men have
gone north and many excellent northern
men gone south. and the newcomers in both
cases have been well received and have

The School Garden Work.

Included in the estimates for school ap-
preparations for the next fiscal year Is an
item of $1,000 for materials for the fur
therauce Of the school garden work which
has been so splendidly established during
the past few years in this city by dint of
the voluntary efforts of teachers and pu-
pills. This estimate was submitted by the
board of education and Endorsed by the
Commissioners in the belief that the public
funds should bear some OF the expense of
this work, so significant and helpful AS a
result of the labors of the little folks in
the schools, directed by their teachers. the
school buildings of Washington have been
rescued from deplorable condition of
neglect, and the appearance Of the city has
been measurably improved in consequence.
But Of far greater Importance has been
the lasting effect of the example In gar
dening upon the pupils themselves These
future citizens of the community have
been taught by thousands to respect grow
Ing things and to appreciate the value of
artistic surroundings. The moral influence
of such factor in their lives cannot easily
be estimated. From the school radiate
many lines of character building The chill
dren have been encouraged to carry their
school gardening ideas into execution at
home, and the capital has been benefited In
all directions. The question for the appro-
proprfations committee of the House now
to consider Is whether it Is not just that
the work so admirably and unselfshly
started by the teachers should be placed
upon an official basis. The results are Of
a public nature and should be given public
support.
The people of the District have sincerely
appreciated the efforts of the teachers to
lN-y, tI,x
of attractiveness. Citizens associations
have lent their aid and moral support and
resolutions have been addressed by such
organizations as the Board of Trade. the
Business Mems Association and the Flor
lists Club to both the board of education
and the Secretary of Agriculture express
Ing their appreciation of the assistance
rendered The work has become a perma-
nent feature of the capitals school system,
and it surely now deserves official recogni-
ton in the very small sum requested for
the supply Of urgently needed materials
The teachers who have given of their time
and labor to the end of making the school
buildings attractive to the eye and sttmu-
lating to the finer sensbilties of the pupil
should feel highly encouraged by the ap-
probation expressed on all sides and the
prospect that Congress, realizing the full
value of the work they have performed,
will grant this measure of assistance to
the end that the excellent endeavor may be
more successfully prosecuted.

Judge Parker Thanks the South,

Judge Parker continues In joilying mood.
After suggesting Mayor Mcclellan for
President he has moved on from Alabama
10 North Carolina and there suggested g.
southern man for the democratic leader
ship. The speech was hearty-maybe a
little too much 50. 1t was all very well to
compliment the SOUTH but not so conspicu-
ously in comparison with and at the ex-
pense of other sections of the country The
south Is not, and does not pretend to be-
the only democratic pebble on the beach
And why have taken so heavy fall out
of Mr.. Bryan. who in 1904 toured a number
of the debatable states in an effort to
put some life into the Parker campaign?
He failed. but who could have succeeded?
To compliment the south upon having
supported the democratic party in recent
years without variableness or shadow of
turning" is really to point out the weak
ness of the south In the national equation.
For the party in that time has been turn
Ing like a weather yane. From Cleveland
and sound money to Bryan and silver, and
then from Bryan and free silver to Parker
and a catchpenny deliverance silent as to
money, Is a record in twelve years without
a parallel.
And who may with safety predict what the
party will stand for two years from now?
But the south's course may with absolute
certainty be predicted. She Is going to sup
port the democratic candidate, no matter
his name or residence. and the platform no
matter its terms or authors. This precludes
the possibility or advlsability of leadership.
Such conditions do not beget leaders In the
national sense. To lead. the south must
shape things. or stand ready to repudiate
them If shaped by others against her ideas
of sound national course. All democratic
national campaigns proceed upon the safe
assumption that the south stands commit
ted In advance.
AS an expression of gratitude, however,
Judge Parker's speech at Charlotte does him
great credit When the other sections of
the country took but the smallest notice of
his candidacy for President, the south while
not going wild in his honor. gave him her
votes and wished him success. 1t was a
conspicuous proof of the fact that. turn as
the party might from issue to issue and
from men TO men, the south could be de-
pended upon never to turn from the party.

II this Is true 1t affords another evidence

has thus far agreed to leave the anthracite
controversy In the hands OF the delegates
who recently presented demands upon the
operators. This Is In way a decision to
allow the anthracite miners, as far as they
are able to act through the representa-

The latest understanding is that the hard
coal operators have served notice on Presi-
dent Roosevelt that they will not yield to
any pressure he may attempt to bring to
bear upon them to force a settlement of
the differences between now and April 1.
The situation is not altogether reassuring
for the individual. unorganized citizen. He
must bear the brunt OF either strike or a
