The Booster editor didn't seem to
take kindly to Frederick's suggestion
about cooperating with the Colorado
Telephone Company. The Booster
thinks the big company wants to
"absorb" the home company. On the
face of the proposition made by the Col
orado company it does not seem that
the Cooperative people could loose
much and might gain great deal with
an affiliation. 1t ought to mean mat
ter of secret satisfaction to the home
company that conditions warrant prop
osition of this kind.

It is not often that the Independent
is called upon TO rctract its statements
but an instance arose last week that
demands one in this issue. Not long
ago an article was printed in Delta In
which the fact that women were no
longer safe on the streets" appeared n
an emphatic proof Of the terror Of sa-
looms. This paper FASTENED to disclaim
the validity Of such remarks and while
it was doing 30 honestly believed il
denial to be fact. But it's all of. In

THE STORER INCIDENT.

Roosevelt because of his inclination,

dip into church affairS-ls seeking to
put the President on the gridiron by
exhibiting some private letters writ

that he was dealing with them in per-

Jumped out of one of the Protestant
churches into the Catholic church and

very clearly that there was a differ

JAPANESE IRRITATION.

We are not given to giving too much
credence to news scattered abroad
by the sensational correspondents Of
the daily newspapers, nevertheless we
can not fail to consider seriously the
possibility of war with Japan. Their
victory over Russia has developed in
them a bravado and egoism that is
likely to lead them to war with some
other power. ere long. They are mani
testing considerable reStleSSneSS and
irritation over the fact that the Japan
ese children have been excluded from
the public schools of San Francisco.
If Japan really desires and is hunting
scrap with the United States, it will
be accommodated and the job will be
we'll done when Uncle Sam gets
through with it, too.
Another thing that is not soothing
to the ambition of the JapS is the fact
OF this cOuntry'S possession of the
PHILIPPINES. These islands will be a
constant burden to us and will evil
IDENTIFY many times threaten the peace
of this country. We should sell the
PHILIPPINES if we can. If we can not,
then give them away. If this can not
be done, pay some government to re-
1ieve us Of them.
Our faith in the All Seeing power
shat guides the deStinies of nations
prompts us to believe that the dove of
peace will continue to fit between this
country and Japan.

BREWERS GREAT SPEECH.

Probably the ablest political speech
ever delivered in Coahoma county In
recent years was made by Hon. Earl
Brewer, candidate for governor, We'd
nesday night. FrHm an oratorical
standpoint it was gem; from a sub
stantial standpoint it was the
very embodiment OF sound sense,
conservatism and craftsmanship.
Mr.. Brewers conceptions of the
rights of the people and their govern
ment accords in every way with gen.
uine democracy and the fundamental
principles our fathers enunciated
when the government was formed.
His enemies may call him demagogue,
anarchist and other similar names to
diminish his political strength but
the fact, nevertheless, remains
that he is no demagogue, nor any,
thing save big, brainy, eloquent,
honest. able, fearless champion Of the
rights of the people in the state and
national affairs and worthy of the
of the highest homer within their gift
The railroads, public service corpo-
ratiOnS and other special interest
seekers are barking up the wrong tree
when they seek by epithetS, abusive
language or other means to weaken
him and impair tiS influence and pO-
litical standing. Such efforts are in
fantile in the extreme. They make
him the stronger for it. The people
are not fools, nor can they be fooled
by such methods. The barkers know
his power, his strength; they know
that his record in public and private
life is inyulnerable; that he has ever
been the champion Of the people iD
every position he has held, they are
going to make hin their governor.
and for this reason. it is no wonder
the barkerS are doing all in their pow
er, by abuse, by epithets, by cries of
demagogism and every means known
TO the money power to kill him pOlt
ically. But it is all to no purpose.
The more they abuse him the stron-
ger he becomes. Earl Brewer will be

 To our disappointment, we could nowhere find the hermit, but we pro- ceeded with our sightseeing.
 I will not attempt a description of the house. Methinks never another one of her Majesty's relations ever abode in such place. In the yard grew sunfowers, Jack-beans, passion flowers, artichokes, and strawberry plants of course. We could haxdly walk without treading on some plant.
 In one corner of the yard were one dozen bee-hIves. These were made or the hollow trunks of black gum tres, one being i've feet high.
 Tn coming out of the gate, we espied a lonely figure standing on a protecting cliff. We hastened forward and found the unique character we were searching for There he stood, his powerful figure outlined against the blue sky. He was low of statue but broad, erect and muscular He waS clad in coarse soll- ed garments his chest bare. His hair was disheveled and his short beard un- kenapt.

He said: T bear my paternal grandfather's full name, W. B. GorUn. He lived in Ken lucky and was a nephew and intimate friend of Henry Clay. They both liber- ated their slaves and sent theIa to Li- beria. giving to each slave his ticket ana $50. We'll do I remember the old home in Kentucky. There were long avenues of cedar trees. My mother was a sister to Prince Albert, Queen Viatoria's husband.

Everything grew in the greatest pro- fusion and widest profusion. Nothing had been planted in order. Wild flow CTS, cultivated flowers and fruit trees grew within a few feet of each other. Raspberry and strawberry vines grew to the very edge of the cliff. and seemed to be peeping over at the rhododendron and mountain laurel which grew in the crevices of the rocks. Peach trees were bending under their burdens or luscious fruit and from the grape vines hung clusters of purple grapes. Pass ing through the orchard we crossed the fence from the opposite side where we entered. We walked along well
 beaten path with the cliff to our left, and >on the right was the verdant for

 trees and under them grew still small
 CT cedar trees and under these grew
 strawberry plants. We then passed

We drove over bushes rocks and logs, but reached the brow of the mountain in safety. To our eft was the hermitss- orchard. surrounded on three sides by rail fence and on the fourth was a precipice. We climb ed over the fence and walking to the edge of the preeipice there stood, lost in admiration of tho rare beauty and grandeur of the scene. Looking down we could see the tops of tall trees far below us.
 At the foot of the mountain lay a fertile valley and beyond flowed the majestic Tennessee between willow fringed banks. Beyond the river wood ed hills and pretty farms with white houses and barns dotted all about. and | still beyond rose the picturesque Cum berland Mountains which stretched far away in the distance till they were lost | in the blue haze.
