COM M UNICATION.
Great Speech in seIf-Defense.

To The Nashville Globe:
A short time ago we read in the eve
ming paper of this city the following
impromptu self-defense Grafton de-
livered at the bar of the city court
Judge Baker, | stand before you
this morning charged with drunken
ness" said Will Thomas, colored.
"And, why?" Because yesterday was
charged with a lot of mean whisky,
so mean, in fact, that it would make
a man love his mother-in-law, and
you know that is some bad booze.
Only three drinks of the 24-karat mean
proof did have, and when those three
flew to my head it was all off. I saw
Bryan sitting in the presidential chair
| saw William Randolph Hearst pull
ing the gubernatorial reigns over New
York State. l saw Gov. Hughes at the
race track betting his last dollar on
the ponies. l saw John w. Gates sit
ting in a pew in a New York church.
Judge, l saw the great and only Arch
bold of Standard Oil fame working for
So week for the gas company
saw Speaker Joe Cannon appoint nine
teen Democrats on the Ways and
Means Committee. Bear with me
patiently, Judge Baker, saw stranger
sights. | saw the Standard Oil Com
pany go into bankruptcy l saw An
drew Carnegie endow a library and
request that it not be named after
him. saw Hetty Green take unto
herself a worse half. Judge, then
saw saloons grow in Atlanta; and last
but not least, l saw Tennessee go dry.
Then, Judge, l woke up and saw l
was behind the bars Forgive me and
l will taste no more"
'You have suffered enough" said
the Judge, "and l will forgive and
dismiss you"
The man, who, after breaking the
spell of Bacchus, can make such a
speech as the above, possesses no or
binary mind. For brevity and force
of logic it is a classic and may we'll
take its place by the side of some of
the notable one of history. Robert
Emmet's last speech, defending him
self against the charge of high treas
Oh bNLOi = CLAO NOul ~ ColuCu ONCI ny
Chief-Justice Lord Norbury, was not
as successfully convincing as was the
man who made his plea before the
Chief-Justice of the City Court.
Note the similarity and eloquence
of the opening interrogatory sen.
tence of both speeches. The young
Irish patriot began "My Lords,
what have l to say why sentence of
death should not be pronounced
against me, according to law" and the
subject of this comment thus: Judge
Baker, l stand before you charged
with drunkenness, and why?" Both
of these men were the victims of an
untoward fate, and each in a great
speech pleaded eloquently showing
the mitigating and extenuating cir.
cumstances in his case.
In the damage suit for the killing
of dog, it is said that the late Sen.
ator George Vest, of Missouri, then a
lawyer, made one of the best speeches
of his career. Though short, it was

SUNDAY AT MEHARRY AUDITO-
RUM,

The usual second Sunday services
were held in the Meharry Auditorium
last Sunday. These services have
taken on large proportions. 1t is just
once each month during the school
year that the University proper in all
of its departments gets together in re-.
ligious exercises. The speaker on,
last Sunday was Rev. r. H. Boyd,
D. D. The students, as we'll as the
friends of South Nashville, always
avail themselves of the pleasure and
advantages to be obtained once
month, as the leading men Of the city,
are usually brought before the school.
Notwithstanding the many important
services scheduled the entire auditori,i
UNI was filled on this occasion. Thel
speaker spoke from the life of Solo,
mon, giving out what might be termed
as information both on his sayings
and on biblical interpretations. The
program which had been specially prG
pared made the services enjoyal

The editors, who, by their merciless
onslaughts, have been tearing great
chunks out of the Panama DEAL have
disturbed the Presidents peace of
mind to the extent of making him as
mad as March hare. AS is charac-
teristic of the man, he flew off at a
tangent, threatening to wreak dire ven
geance upon the authors of his dis
comfixture. 1t does, it seems, matter

The beautiful sentiment of making
gifts, which has come down to us
through the years from a remote past,
should be observed in all Of its pristine
significance. They who give only to
those from whom they expect some
thing of equal value or more in return
have simply bartered and traded, and
have thus reduced the beautiful GUS
tom to the commonplace of a mere
commercial transaction Let the spir-
it of goodwill rather tina intrinsic
value, dominate your motive in ten
dering and receiving gifts.

these days packing his toys, bric-a-

THE BROWNSVILLE GHOST.

The President in connection with a
special message to the Senate sent an
array of other matter pertaining to the
Brownsville affair This array of mat
ter purports to be new evidence. The
administration has never ceased in its
efforts to try to fasten the RESPONSE
bility of that episode on the colored
troopers. There is a hankering de-
sire, a consuming one, on the part of
the President to brand those men, fair
or foully, just so they are branded, to
give some semblance of justification
to his unprecedented actions toward
them.
Much has been said about the dignity
that should hedge about and go hand
in hand with the exalted position of
President, and much has been said
of late about the lax conduct of the
present encumbent.
The latest development in the
Brownsville affairs is a much worded
special message and a voluminous
amount of documentary evidence.
The desperate determination of the
Chief Executive of the Nation to de-
fend his overhasty and premature
conduct in the matter is shown by the
fact that the services of ordinary
sleuth detectives were secured to
hound down the dishonorably dis
charged men and by any manner of
means procure enough "plunder-evi-
dence" to furnish subject-matter for
q grand-stand-play message and to
give his friends in the Senate some.
thing to spread out upon to hoodwink
the public. These detectives have
stuck to their task with a grim deter.
mination only surpassed by the Pres
ident. They have bounded those men
and stalked in their shadows wherever
they were from Maine to California
and from the Lakes to the Gulf OF
Mexico. They have resorted to every
conceivable method and trick known
to their profession to get something
plausible that "our great and beloved
!, President could hold aloft and with
joyful satisfaction and gleeful ebul
lrlition say to all the world, 81 told you
to!"

PEOPLE ARE PROGRESSIVE
NATURES RESOURCES GREAT.

Upon his recent visit to Glenwood
Springs The Post man received the
following response to an interview
with Secretary James r. Wilson of
the department of agriculture:
I'VE are anxious to know all that
is possible to know about the forest
ry conditions and to help the people
to save for themselves and the flu
ture as much of the timber as pos
sible for they haven't any too much
new.
81 always enjoy these visits to
Colorado" the secretary explained,
as he started for the hotel. Its mat
ural resources are great and its peo-
pie are the most progressive type OF
American citizenship.
But / came here on business this
time, and the pleasure of being here
naturally goes along with the busi-
ness. l am especially interested in
the efforts to conserve these great
forests. If steps are not taken to
prevent the destruction of the forests,
it would seriously cripple the great
mining industry. These great belts
OF timber are necessary to the devel-
opment of the mining industry. The
forests are needed right here at
home. OF course, when tree is ripe
it should be cut down and used. But
more stringent measures should be
taken to protect the forests as ne
cessity fer the development of the
mining industry.
''Agrio ulture and mining are the
states principal assets. The conser-
vation of the forests under the ma
tional forest system will be one of
the principal aids to the develop
ment of the mining industry. Min-
ing cannot be carried on without
plenty of timber"

WILLIAM H. McNlCHOLS
SAYS HE WILL SETTLE

William II. McNichols of Aspen,
who is well known in this city where
he has many friends, and who was
arrested on the charge of embezzllng
$4,000 while county treasurer of Pit
kin county. has given out a statement
in which he said that, as soon as the
amount of the alleged shortage was
definitely known, he would pay it,
and that the matter would be settled
Monday at the meeting of the coun-
ty commissioners.
He denied that he had laid any of
the alleged shortage at the door of
his brother, Michael McNichols, and
says that the report to this effect had
been circulated by enemies to stir
up strife.
He states that he alone is RESPONSE
BILE for any shortage that may be
discovered and that he will reim-
burse the county.
He further says that he did not
know of any shortage, and that, if
there was any, it was due to errors
which he might have made.
McNichols' preliminary hearing
was held today.

THE WOMAN IN JOURNALISM.

Yet even when her shell has hard
ened and snubs rebound like rubber
balls the newspaper woman shrinks
from an assignment that sends her
probing raw, gaping heart wounds,
writes Ellen Farley in the Bohem-
ian. If her ideals are lofty she
tightly hugs the knowledge that she
is writing a human document; that
behind the detail of petty scandal
she is pointing out how the soul
bears itself in it's great crises; that
she is tabulating psychological sta
tistics. But there still remains that
appalling resemblance between her
work and back fence gossip.
A legend of the Herald office tells
of fervent neophyte who was awak-
ened on being announced by a wise
gamin of the streets as the dame
who travels for de papes." She re-
signed in disgust, Indignantly refus-
ing Ito be a commercial traveller for
scandal or anything else"
''Ah," eXclaims the wide-eyed
zealot from Lonelyville when blase
sister tries to pierce the golden
glamorous veil of her illusions, but
think of the lovely people you meet.
the celebrated men and women, the
wonderful, broadening influence of
the contact with all phases of life,"
Weariedly the blase one will ad-
init that she meets charming people.
There flashes restrospectively de-
lightful chat with a great gracious
prima donna, or a genial half hour
on books and art with clever man
of note, of the newest sensation in
murderesses, gleefully unwrapping
her tinsel soul for a half-page ar
ticle.
Also specters of other things rise
up to lay in wait for reluctant not
ables in hotel lobbies, celebrating
acerbic monosyllables into story
because her paper demanded i, of
the derisive silence of tue emilent
politician she pounced upon at his
doorstep, brazenly demanded that he
reveal some purposed coup; of the
tragic, grief-furrowed face of the
defaulter's wife as she explored the
broken heat to tell her paper 'tHow
1t Feels to be the Wife of Rogue;"
of insulting buffers and grinning
maids as she tried to make her way
into the mansions of the yellow rich.
Side by side with snatches of things
worth while are ranged visions of
bitter humiliations, of intense rebel
lion, of outraged pride, in the wo-
men Journalists memory gallery.
It's where the tyro falls-this road
of humiliation. But she who aims
above the woman's page must sure
ly make the journey. over her per-
sonal feeling. must triumph always
the thought of her paper. 1t sounds
like u hardening process, yet para
doXically the average newspaper

phrase, "She understands. ."-Ex.

BEGINNING OF THE
INTERURBAN RAILWAY

Yesterday the first dirt was thrown
on the Kansas-Colcrado electric rail-
way that is to run from Canon City
to Garden City, Kans., through the
Arkansas valley.
This marks the beginning of in
terurban electric railways in the
state of Colorado, and this line is
practically what is hoped for and ex-
peeted in the Grand valley. Inter
urban railways are necessity and
always come to the aid of the people
of any section that is so closely pop
mlated as is the Grand valley espe-
cially
The Kansas-Colorado line as pro-
posed covers a distance of nearly 800
miles and serves population of ap-
proximately 10000 people. When
the Grand Junction electric line is
constructed in full and in operation.
it will cover a distance of less than
40 miles and will have a population
of approximately 10000 people to
draw patronage from, which is equiv
alent to 500 people to the mile. while
the Arkansas valley project has but
800 ito the mile to draw from.
Therefore, we must conclude that
the time is ripe for the construction
of this line here and that it will be
paying proposition from the very
start.
