.X-GOV. TAYLOR
IN EAST Tenn.
HIS CAMPAIGN THERE A DIsAP-
PoINTMENT.
cARmAck TIDE GROWING.

The following editorial appeared in
the last issue of the Madisonville
Democrat, whose editor, Reese v.
Hicks, is one of the best known
Democrats in East Tennessee.
Taylor in East Tennessee.
Now that both Taylor and Car
mack have addressed the voters Of
Monroe, County, a few things are ap-
parent to those who have carefully
observed the audiences of both speak
ers.
First, Carmack was listened to by
more Democratic voters than heard
Taylor
Second, that the Republicans are
shouting themselves hoarse for Tay-
lor, and this, if nothing else, is lining
up the Democrats in East Tennessee
behind Carmack.
Third. that Taylor's campaign in
East Tennessee was a distinct disap-
pointment, and he and some of his
friends in some counties have played
the baby act and cried that Carmack's
friends kept the people away from
hearing Taylor.
"Carmack is strong In East Tonnes

Of the Democratic vote of this Sec
ton. If any proof of Carmack's
strength here was needed, It can be
found in the fact that Taylor is put

lori claims to have everything his

OF nineteen Democratic newspapers,
all but four are for Carmack, and the
majority OF the working Democrats of
this section are for him. and no won
der that Taylor is feeling the need of |
the old Guard that always support
ed him in former campaigns. This
fact leads him to abuse the Democrats |
who may take any interest in poll /
tics and fight the party battles; and
this is further weakening him in
this section.
"Carmack may cross the mountain /
with a small majority. but you may
paste 1t in your hat that Taylor never
will"

the 700 members threaten to resign?
OF course, there is no disgrace in
old age-father honor in it. Our age
is one Of the very things over which
we have no control whatever, and for
which we are neither to be blamed
nor credited. ..,...'.
Old age'is honorable because it is
the result Of long right living. The
vicious, the careless and the slothful
never attain it.
1t is by right living, by obedient
observance of the laws of nature, that
we not only live to be old, but seem
to be younger than we really are. 1t
is just as much matter of pride for
one to look and feel like 40 at 60 as
it is for one to be hale at 80.
Though there is no disgrace in
growing old, there is decided incon-
venience in it, economically, physi-
cally and socially. The woman who
feels 40 naturally does not like to be
classed \and associated with women
who feel O0. II she is bright and young
in spirit she wants to continue to be
so regarded by bright and young peo-
pie.
Vanity really has very little part
in it. The womah s happiness and her
sympathetic relationship with the
young and vigorous depend on it. She
has right to insist that she be taken
at the age she feels and shows.
This is no place to argue whether
the Young Ladies' Sodality rule is
sound or not. But it is appropriate
to observe anywhere, in any comec-
ton and at any time, that the women
who are younger at 60 than some
Others, arc at 10 have a perfect right
to be so classified

For all that, he had well-oiled,

be plainly seen above his shoe tops,

Before his third term as Governor
Davis made a campaign for vindica-
tion, SO lie styled it. He had> been
charged with appropriating part of
his contingent fund, allowed by the
State, to his personal use. He was
arraigned before a special committee
of the Legislature, and impeachment
was much talked of, but it failed.
Davis recently closed all the gam
bling houses, pool rooms and Sun
day saloons at Hot Springs, and ap-
pointed prosecuting attorney, on
the recommendation of the ministers
of that city, who, he believes, will on
force the law. This followed a cool
ness between him and the Hot Springs
officials, who were for Berry III the
Senatorial race.
Davis's political promises always
have been made good after election,
and he has made tactful use of his ap-
pointive power. He is quick to see
a deception, is a master Of details,
knows "everybody in Arkansas,' and
is conceded to be a good lawyer.
Those who claim to know him best
say that his methods will be more
refined after few months residence
in Washington.

Young and Old Men.

ANY man who has attained his ma
joritv, or who still retains mental Wig
or in spite of the weight Of years, is
entitled to place in the government
or business affairs Of the nation.
Youth is no longer bar TO the conf
dencc of the voters, nor age handi-
cap. This is the period of the goung
man in business, in politics, III fin
ance, in art and in literature; but, al
so il is Il favored era for the men who
have rounded out lifc's allotted span.
JAS. w. Whdsworth, Jr., speaker Of
the New York assembly, is barely rs
years old, while Everett Colby, lead
er of the New Jersey assembly, has
Just rounded out 32 years. Herbert S.
Hadley, the attorney general of Mis-
souri,, only 81 and has waged the most
effective fight against Standard Oil
that the country has ever seen. AT
the age Of &c Jos. Medill Patterson
resigns as commissioner of public
works Of Chicago because his ides
of good government was not III har
mony with the methods Of practica
politicians. II. j. Hagerman at the
age of 24 is named as governor Of the
territory Of New Mexico.
And the old men? In politics, there
is Senator Pcttus, of Alabama, wh'
has touched the high age mark o:
S5; Senator Morgan, of Alabama, il
81; Allison, of Iowa II; Cullom o
Illinois, IS; Teller, of Colorado, 76
Proctor, of Vermont, IS; Frye, 0:
Maine, "a; Platt, of New York, 73
Alger, of Michigan, 70. There ar
many frisky young senator's in thu
fifties. In finance, j. Pierpont Nor
gan has rounded out 90 years, and hi
achieved his greatest financial vic
tories after he had passed the half
hundred mark. John d. Rockefelle
is 67 years old and his intellect is a:
keen after a dOllor as it was in thu
long ago when he first conceived thu
idea of making Standard Oil th'
greatest moneygetting agency in the
world.
Geo. f. Baer, the recognized heat
Of the hard coal industry, is still aler
at '64 while Samuel Gompers, Of tho
American Federation of Labor, is 81
and as young and active as he was q
years ago. Mark Twain, our great
est humorist Of the old and new
school, is II years old, and just few
days ago the New York police hat
to be called out to prevent people
who turned out to hear him spcal
from being crushed to death, so great
was the assemblage.
No other period in the worlds his,
tory offered better advantages to mel
who can do things and do them well
than the golden present. The price
demanded Of each man is that he ex.
cells in his particular line. That, ii
other words, he makes good today
tomorrow and every day as he goes
along.
