lodge, wreathed in amaranth and
laurel, were the names of the missing

the ~wrongdong Of OTHER INDIVIDUALS and from
other governments is passing away. The new notion of
government is an organism which has reason, conscience,
judgment and will, and to this all members of the com
munhv contribute. That is what we are entering on. There are still
belated men who believe that democracy is a failure. There are still
those who r. trying to ruin it by A NEW FORM OF OIL
GARCHY.
So, too, in industry. There are those who believe in democracy
in religion and politics, but that there should he a few captains III in
dustry. There are others who think the remedy is in FREE COM
PETITION between individuals and between corporations.
In religion there r. those who still belong to the middle ages,
who want us to he ruled by creeds; not many, but still some. And
there are those who believe in absolute freedom, in each man seeking
his religion IN HIS OWN WAY.
Over against that l want to put the notion of fraternalsm. Society
is al organism, a person, a unit. Government has intelligence, will,
judgment, conscience, and it will be largely what we make it. Industry
is not a mere combination of men and women struggling AGAINST
ONE ANOTHER.
The church is a great body Of men united together by dominating
purpose, not by creed or worship. In the coming age all the creeds
and sects, the Catholic and the Protestant, the Jew and the Christian,
will be united by a common ain, purpose, spirit, because the coming
age is to be A FRATERNAL ONE.
Every age has its vices and it's virtues. Feudalam developed 10y
atty, individualsm developed enterprise and energy. But the nine
teenth century has had vices, all due to the same source.
The first vice has been that of accumulation. Put mel together
and tell them to look after their own interests and push ahead, and
each man will be measuring himself BY HIS ACCCMULAT1ONS.
The second vice is the lawlessness of self will. We hear Of the
criminal classes. Can you tell me today who belongs to the criminal
class? Do the insurance directors who bought stocks low and sold
them to companies in which they were directors at high prices? Do
the railroad officials who broke the law of the land and now stand con
vlcted! DO the coal carriers who did by a gentemens agreement that
which was AGAINST THE LAW!
In religion the tendency has been toward narrowness and secta-
riansm. Each man has thought for himself and has thought that this
was all there was to be thought. This is the irreverence of self conceit.
AS we go out into life we meet these vices, but not by these names.
1t is not alone the process of the Chicago packers that needs inspec-
ton. We have MAN FALSE LABELS in this country.
THERE IS ONE REMEDY FOR ALL THIS. SOCIETY SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED As A UNIT, AND THE LAW OF SOCIETY SHOULD
BE THE LAW OF MUTUAL SERVICE.

Representative N. W. Hale Says Evans Can

Roosevelt is manlfesting keen inter
est IN Tennessee politics now that har-
mony apparently has been restored in
the republican ranks. Recently the
president has been told by different
callers, more or less familiar with po-
litical conditions in Tennessee, that II.
Clay Evans was going to be the next
governor, aud this information the
chief executive received with evident
satisfaction.

district, called at the white house and
for thirty minutes entertained the pres.

ed governor of Tennessee this fall, "
said Mr.. Hale. 1.-The democrats have
never been as badly split up as they are
now. They are at daggers' points over
the United States senatorship and the
governorship, and nobody sees how it
is possible for them to extricate them
selves in time to prevent the republi-
cans capturing the state. Evans is a
popular man, even among the demo
Gratis, and there would not be much
soreness in that party should he be
elected. 1t is at least certain that the
prospects have never been as bright for
the republicans as at this time"
AS stated in these dispatces, the ma
tional republican campaign committee,
of which Postmaster General Cortelyou
is the chairman, is so firmly persuaded
that the republicans have such fine
chance to carry the state that large
sum of money will be sent into Tennes-
see to help the g. o p. cause.

The YEAR 1860

This creek runs through one of the
valleys on which he was looking, as he
is reported to have boasted, while
standing on the summit of the Allegha-
nies: 81 am richer than the man in
Scripture who owned the cattle on
thousand hills. own the wild beasts
in thousand Valleys" Doubtless he
did not understand the passage from
Scripture; still he did not try to enforce
his title to the beasts any further than
his needs demanded, his mission being
to spread civilization and not to hunt
and kill beasts. Those times have
passed. johnson City has grown to be
town of 1000 inhabitants, and, on its
western limits stands the latest and
