OF NATIONAL INTEREST.

Louisville Courier-Journal.
Senator Bailey, of Texas, VINO has
been virtually on trial before the peo-
pie of his state, seems in a fair way
to secure a verdict of acquittal from
the legislature. According to the To-
cal papers 100 of the 1913 members of
the Texas legislature have declared
in mis- favor, and it is believed that
when the vote is taken a greater 1um
Der will register their approval of Mr..
Bailey, although they may disapprove
of what the Houston Post calls his
serious but not dishonest mistake"
that of having borrowed money, while
he was a member of congress-, from a
locll oil magnate whose company
was afterwards discovered to be a
branch of Mr.. Rockefeller's trust.
There is a wide difference between
condemning the transaction which Mr.
Bailey contends was merely personal,
but which was certainly unfortunate
and condemaing Mr.. Bailey. whose
record as a member of the house and
senate has been clean, whose services
to his state and the nation have been
distinguished, and whose vote and
views have not, as far as has been
shown, been influenced in the least
by the transaction that has created
the controversy IN Texas. If he las
been guilty of nothing worse than in
discretion, it would be most unfortu-
nate for a man Of his ability and age
to be retired from the senate, where
and where ne promises to be of in
creasing usefulness in his maturer
years. SANDER, like death, loves a
shining mark, and enemies of the
gifted Texan, in both parties, have ca
gerly seized upon an opportunity to
brand him as one of the traitors in
the senate without taking the trouble
to sift the charges brought against
him, but proof of treason has been
lacking.
1t is worthy of note that criticism
of Mr.. Bailey from well informed dis

PACK OF CARDS-PRAYER
BOOK AND BIBLE.


A private soldier named Richard
Lee was taken before a magistrate
for playing cards during service. 1t
appears a sergeant commanded the
soldiers at church, and when the par
son had read the prayers he took the
text: Those who had a Bible tool it
out, but this soldier mad neither Bible
out a pack of cards he spread them
before him. He just looked at one
card, and then at another. The SER
geant of the company saw him, and
said:
Richard, put up the cards, this is
no place for tnem."
Never mind that" said Richard.
When the service was over the con-
stable took Richard before the mayor.
"Wen, says the mayor. What have
you brought the soldier mere for?"

And spreading the cards before the
mayor, he began with the ace.

INDEPENDENTS.

In discussing the Independent in poll
itics, II must be remembered that
there are independents and inde
penden.s. There are some indepen-
dents. most of them above Mason and
Dixon,s line, who have no regular
party aiHliation and no very decided
political convictions one way or the
other. They vote with this party or
that, according to the passing emo
ton of the campaign, or according as
their interests lie. They are neither.
Democrats, nor Republicans, nor Popu-
lists. They are opportunists.
There are other independents, most
of them south of Mason and Dixon's
line, who are partisans by birth and
education. They have deep political
convictions, and they are devoutly at
tached to the party TO which their
fathers and grandfathers belonged.
Their political convictions are as real
as their religious convictions, and their
party attilation Is well-nigh as strong
as their church aiiiliation. They are
not easily driven out OF their party.
They stand by the organization AMI
vote with it as long as their political con-
science will permit. They do not bolt
until the party adopts some rcvolu-
tionary platform to which they cannot
conscientiously subscribe, or nominates
some man whom they cannot conscien-
tiously support.
There are many loyal Democrats in
the South day who boast that they
refused to vote for Horace Greeley for
President. although he was regularly
nominated by the National Democratic
Convention And if the truth were
known, there are many Democrats IN
the South and In other sections who
declined to vote for Parker In 1904.

THE SECRET OF REvERENT RE-
SEARCH.

(Selected for The Times -Dispatch.)
"They shall ask the way to Zion,
with their faces thitherward."--Jer. ]. 5.
Why insert. the words, with their
faces thitherward"? If they had to
ask the way to Zion, what did 1t mat
ter in which direction their faces were
turned? 1t mattered greatly.
The value OF mans search for
truth depends very much on the direc-
ton in which his look is turned. Re
ligious research may or may not, be
valuable; 1t depends entirely on the
mental attitude OF the inquirer.
In the opening of Matthew's Gospel
there are two inquiries made concern
ing the birth OF Jesus Christ. The
wise men ask, Where is lie that is
born King OF the Jews?" and Ilerod
inquired diligently what time the star
appeared" Where lay the difference?
Just in the direction of their faces.
The wise men were seeking Jesus that
they might worship Film: Eerod was
seeking Jesus that he might destroy
Him.
In the hour Of your Investigation
consider carefully whether your face
is turned toward Zion or away from
Zion. It makes all the difference in
the world. Do you wish to know. or
not TO know? 1t all depends OH that.
Do you wish to find blots. or to erase
blots? Are YOU seeking for truth, or
simply providing amusement for the
intellect?
The Book into whose truth YOU in
quire has photograph on the front
page-a face of exceeding beauty and
compelling power If you have any
eye for loveliness, you must begin the

We are told that a Judge should be

puEAMERs AND THEIR VISIONS.

Mr.. william y. BRYAN is right in
saving. MS he did in his beautiful
speech at the Richmond banquet Fri
day night, that ideas are greater than
men: that there can be no progress
without ideus and ideals. and that the
world is indebted to men 1T has called
'dreamcrs," for most of its greatest
works.
But ideas are worthless unless they
are practicable: ideals are worthless
ur7Iess they be in part at least attain
able; and dreamers who dream night
mares and Missionaries who see mirages
are hindrance and not a help: for
they but fill the heads of the simple
with false notions. and If listened to,
they deceive and mislead the people
Mr.. Bryan "points with pride to
Joseph. of Bible fame, as great
dreamer, who accomplished wonders.
But Mr. Bryan also points with pride
to the fact,th when Joseph's brethren
went down into Egypt in time of fam
Inc to buy bread, they found that the
dreamer had the corn. And so we
see." says Mr.. Bryan. that it is all
right to be a dreamer, provided you
have the corn
Precisely. Joseph did not see a
mirage. He had a vision of famine TO
come, and he provided against 1t by
buying up all the surplus corn and
storing it away against the day OF
need Joseph was one of the most
practical dreaners the world ever
knew. He dreamed of famine, and
when the dream came TO pass he had
Tie corn.
Thomas jefferson was another
dreamer. TO whom Mr.. BRYAN points
with pride" But he was not a vision
airy. He knew the American people
and trusted them. lie knew their
character, their virilty, their selt-re-
lance, their capacity for self-govern-
nent; hence he saw a vision of an
ideal republic on the American con-
tnent with all power reserved to the
people, and With no more government
than thei'we'lfare of the people de-
nanded. II was not visionary dream.
IL was the vision of a practical states
man with foresight, 1t was like the in
spired dream of Joseph, and it is not
strange that. in part at least, it has
come TO pass.
John Raskin also had a dream, but
il never materialized and never. will.
Jefferson dreamed of a human repub-
lie; Ruskin Utopia.
