BARBER STIRRED THE SOCIETY.
Former South CaroIinaian Gets
Wild Applause in New
YOrK-The True
Measure of a
Man.

I Ork celebrated its twenty
fifth anniversary at the Waldorf
Astoria hotel last Friday night.
Among tho distiugui.hed speak
ers wore Dr.. Woodrow Wilson
ofPrinceton university and Hon
William A. Barber former at
torney general Of South Caro-
lima.
When his turn came, Mr.
Barber. speaking to the "O'd
South tackled Elihu Root for
L;s revolutionary .p-ech. msdA
to tn. Pennsylvani.ns At the
same place only a few night
ago. The Sun says that Barber
stirred up the society and it's
guests, and that there was wild
applause from some sections OF
the grand ball room although
there were also some silent shots.
What Mr.. Barber said Was in
part as follows:
1t seems fashionable nova
days to discuss constitutional
questions around the dinner
table. (Laughter.) Only tw"
nights ago. on al occasion like
fhis, the distinguished secretary
of state, speaking IN this ban
quet hall, gave bis bs.rer.
enough constitutional law to
give some; people indigestion.
His views are always interest.
ing, but especially when he
speaks a. the tribune of cabi
net of which he is go important
apart. ,
1t il pleasing to be reminded
that since our constitution was
adopted our country has grown
from 4 narrow strip along the
AJlantIU unrIi re vi o,chss from
ocean to ocean, and embraces
soms '85. 900. 900 population. 1t
is pleasing to be told that since
the constitution was adopted
the genius of modern invention
has 80 destroyed time aud dis
tance that every section of this
great country is in immediate
contact, and has intimate trade
and social relations with every
other section.
But with his conclusion that
this increase in ara and popu-
lation, and this close business
intercourse demand either a
modification or a new construc-
ton of the constitution we can.
not agree. We believe with
our fathers, thar our people are
slow to change; that the size of
the country and tn" exi .eucies
Of trade are less important tIsan
the preservation of individual |
liberty. We helleVe thaj the !
rights of each citizen TODAY ara
the same as the rights OF each |
citizen Of the sn,llar countrv IN
1871 We believe these rights, |
are and will continue to be. best
preserved ty an inexorable en-
torcement of the old constitn
tion.
IF it be true, as there is a
growing impression, that the
executive reaches out to control
the courts and, perhaps, get the
new construction of the consti-
tuition that is wanted we invoke
the warning of Chief Justice
Marshall that the very safety of
the republic requires the legis-
lative, executive and judicial
power to remain forever separate
and distinct. Although we are
told that 1--WE are moving for

Norfolk. Va. Oct. i9-One hun
drej and twcnty-six years TO day
after CORVALLIS SURRENDERED the
army of England TO the alliel armies
OF France and the United States at
Yorktown. thousands OF people i'm
whose breasts the fires Of patriotism
still burn gathered today on the
grounds OF the jamestown exposition
TO celebrate the anniversary of that
momentous event. The exercises
were under the auspices of the ex-
position management, the Thomas
Jefferson Memorial association and
the newly organized Association Of
Signers of the Declaration OF indie
pendence. Senator p. G. Knox. of
Pennsylvania. and Senator John w.
Daniel. of Virginia. were the princi-
pal orators OF the day.
At today's meeting OF the Sign
ers,' at which delegations from all
the thirteen original states were
present, the organization OF the new
patriotic or hereditary society was
completed, constitution and by

The preliminary meeting OF the
"signers" was held in the Pennsyl-
vania building. which is a model OF
independence hall, on July 4, when
committees on constitution and or
ganization were appointed. These
committees reported today. The con-
stitution provides that only those
who can clearly trace their descent

patriotic observance OF all HOLIDAYS
growing out OF the revolutionary
struggle. and also for the proper
marking and decoration of revolu-
tionary battlefields and the graves of
the patriotic dead.
Many of the "signers" will go on

THE TAFT BOOM.

The Taft boom appears to be
meeting with much embarrassment.
His supporters have planned that the
Republican national committee shall
postpone the selection of the loca-
ton and date Of the convention un-
I'll after Taft returns from his trip
around the world.
But II appears that the Taft on
position are about to take the bull
by the horns and make all arrange
ments for the national convention
before Taft returns.
The Taft boom has been much en-
barrassed on account of the secre-
tary's tariff propaganda, and his ut
terances upon the question of dis
franchising ignorant voters. He has
placed himself at the mercy of bis
political enemies by declaring him
self upon all important questions.
The anti-Taft faction of the marty
mas made good Roadway during the
se'retary's absence
One of the most serious features
OF the Taft campaign is recent cir
cular issued by President Gomners
OF the American Federation of La
Dor attacking Mr.. Tafts use OF the
VIII or Injunction while serving as
ieieral judge. Mr.. Taft's decisions
were upheld by the court of last re-
sort but were displeasing to union
labor.

THE MIGHT OF MANNERS.
(By Mis- Carmano

That Name make the man" is
goodly old 81 ing with something
truer than nero commonplace OBJ
servation in its 'ound philosophy.
Neither Chesterfield himself that
paragon of deport :! emit. nor Barney
MCGEE. who hal
"Chesterfield's way with a touch of
the Bowery,"
can be imagined wthout the potent
manners that were natural and char
acteristic OF them. For good man
ners cannot he don: ed nor laid aside
like coat. Whether elegant or sim
pie. they are the expressive and ap-
proprlate garment OF personality.
and it is one of the tests for them
that they are habitual and can never
be misjudged as being assumed or
affected. The least touch OF affec-
tation or insincerity is fatal to their
value. To have bad manners or no
manner is TO announce oneself q
boor; but to use false manners is to
betray ones inaptitude.
When they are real and actually
reveal the inner personality how
mighty manners are! SO potent are
they, indeed. that we are often car
ried beyond our ultimate best iudg-
ment by the instant enthusiasm and
responsive impulse they evoke in us.
and by the sway they exercise over
our will, and we very readily give
them an even higher valuation than
Is their due. The mighty of mann ,rs
is as great as the majesty Of mind
OF the supremacy of soul. One mus.

to their potent influence and uncon-
sciously swayed by them

\ POLITICAL PLATFORM FOR
1908.

Tom Watson in The Weekly JEFF
fersonian lays down the following as
his political creed for the next cam
paign. What do you think OF It?
If you don't like It, you don't have
to take it. But IL gives a basis of
discussion to begin on.
Here II is:
|. Direct legislation; election of
all officers by the people; the right
of recall.
?. The necessaries of life on the
free list. Ports of entry in interior
towns to be abolished. Custom houses
where outgo exceeds income to be
closed. Import duties to be laid
upon luxuries. and for revenue. only.
). The income and inheritance
tax, to increase progressively as the
income and inheritance increase.
4. Repeal by congress OF all laws
creating federal courts, excepting the
supreme court, whose appellate jur-
lsdiction shall be abolished.
In this manner. the federal judici-
airy can be practically wiped off the
race of the earth, and the corpora
tons compelled to obey state courts.
3. Public utilities to be owned
and operated by the public for the
public benefit.
g. All money to be created nv
the government; the public debt to
be paid off; no more bonds to be
issued or indorsed by the govern
ment; the act re-chartering national
banks to be repealed; the financial
system Of the country to be that es-
tablished by the constitution and
practiced by Washington, Jefferson.
Madison and Lincoln.
7. The prodigal extravaganza of
the national government to be
checked; the increase in military and
naval expenditures stopped: the Co
lonial Empire nonsense abandoned:
the Philippines to be granted self
government.
3. No ship subsidy or mail sub
sidy The compulsory use Of steel
ears for the railway mail service.
Postal savings bank the parcels
post; the abolition or the frankink
privilege: the continued extension Of
the rural free delivery system.
Is not that sound creed? Can
not the people. whether Democrats.
Republicans Populists. Prohibition
lists. Single-Taxers or Socialists.

Why spoil the horn by trying 20

Why cut on more than we can

get them. Il will be time enough 20

Shall we never learn?
