His Fathers ldeC Of the Delights OF
Municipal Ownership.
Say, boss remarked our cash boy
this morning, my paw is red hot for
minneSickle ownership. | don't know
what that is, but paw says everybody
is going to own everything and divide
up the profits. He was telling ma
about it last night
Ma asked him where the people
would get the money to buy those
things, as they would cost millions Of
dollars.
Paw said, Issue bonds
Yes, said ma, but how will you
pay the bonds when they are due?'
Issue more bonds, said paw.
But how about the interest? said
ma. won you have to tax the people
for that
Why, no. said paw Pay the in
terest with bonds
81 don't see how you could do that
said ma
You don't, eh:' replied paw. Now
when we went to housekeeping, didn't
| pay for all our furniture by giving Il
note, and when it came due didn't
give the man another note? You WON
en- know nothing about finance. You
wait until the minniesickle ownership
gets in power, we will divide the profits
among the people, and no one will have
10 work. We will all be Vauderbilts
Won't you be proud of your hubby
when he becomes part owner of all
public utilities? You see, madam, there
are some things you don't know
"And then paw looked wise. Ma
stood and gazed at him for some time
and then said:
Yes, there are some things | don't
know, and one of those things is this
IL there is man more fit for the
lmatic asylum than you, / don't know
him.
Then l commenced to whistle 'Ev-

the credit Of being thoroughly
honest and earnest in all that he
said and did. He was one of the
ablest of the southern senators and
often participated in debate, but
he was a stranger to all the arts of
the demagogue, and his senatorial,
like all his other addresses, were
marked by uniform dignity and
courtesy.
Davis was not a secessiouist; on
the contrary he sincerely deplored
the severance of the Union and Ie-
peatedly expressed himself against
its dissolution; but he most ably
and firmly supported the sover-
eighty of the state as paramount
to the sovereignty of the Union in
all matters relating to the inter
ests of the people of state. He
did not urge the secession of Mis-
s1ssippi after the election of Lin
coin, and he occupied his seat in
the Senate until Mississippi for
mally seeded from the Union,
when in obedience to his convic-
tions and teachings he obeyed the
command of what he recognized as
the sovereign power and resigned
his seat in the Senate. He was
surrounded by blatant fre.eaters
who were studiously inflaming the
south and offending the north by
demanding secession in utter de-
fiance of the national government.
Davis was never guilty Of any such
expression, but when his state COM
nanded him to sever his relations
with the national government he
obeyed because he believed that
his first and only allegiance was to
Mississippi. While there were
men i'll the Senate who command.
ed = much larger measure of per
sonal affection from their associ-
ates than did Davis, no member of
the body commanded a larger
measure of personal respect.
In 1880, some fifteen years after
the war, | visited Jefferson Davis
at Buvoir, pleasant but unpre-
tentious residence on the banks of
the gulf that had been given him
by some Mississippi friends as a
permanent home. He received
me with generous courtesy and |
spent most of the day with him.
was surprised to find him in ex-
Cellent physical condition when l
had expected to meet with an en-
FILTERED, despairing old man who
had staked everything on the con-
federacy and had lost. When as
sured that no publicity would be
given to any view he might ex-
press without his distinct approx
al, he discussed every feature of
the war that l suggested to him
with perfect frankness, and in the
course of the conversation learned
for the first time the fearful force
of state sovereignty as accepted by
the southern confederacy. Alex

"Well," replied he, you sec, it's this
