EVERYBODY takes a vacation
II nowadays. Fifty years ago
almost nobody did. The regular
summer holiday in its now generally
accepted then unknown.
Inva1ids went for their health to ~
the oldtime springs. Southern
planters moved their families in the -
summer to the Virginia mountains a
or to Saratoga; but this too
matter of health. The only regular
vacation gatherings were the poll
ticians meetings at Saratoga in
New York, at Bedford Springs in
Pennsylvania, and at the old White
Sulphur Springs in what was then
Virginia but is now Greenbrler
County, West Virginia.
Healthy people worked the year
round, rested on Sunday and legal
holidays, and were idle only when
there was no work to do. Prosper -.
Gus merchants then lived over their
stores, and their families helped
clerk and keep books. There was
idle class There was no travel
ing except business trips. Europe
was many times more accessible
than California. 1t was much easier
for one to 60 to London or to Paris
than to take thousand-mile journey on land

Music of Gold Under Woman's Caresses
A S the last touch, making for metallic perfection,
before the eagle and the head of the Goddess
of Liberty are impressed by the big mint machines,
the deft touch of womans hand is necessary to
complete the grosser toll of the and the ma
chimes. 1t is the old charm of womans exquisite
influence Man has done his best when he delivers
to the women of the mint panchets that shine like
miraculous golden mirrors. These she weighs
and adjusts taking notice of variations slight
-ten-thousandth of gram.
These women gold adjusters sit always IN a room
whose windows are kept closed; for even the i'm
palpable powder of gold dust, fretted away by the
kisses of the files, must be accounted for.
All the day the women gold workers take the
adorable planchets of five, ten and twenty dollar
gold coins and file them to the exact legal weight;
rolling very gently but firmly the golden buttons
against file whose teeth all but invisible;
moving minute dust of gold so carefully that the
file leaves not the slightest trace on the shining
surface Fifteen hundred of these luminous gold
disks passing through the hand OF each worker, are
days work
In this room you must think of the most musical
sounds you ever heard There is the wind in the
trees night and the call of the sea- and the vaguely
audible murmur of the palm leaves; but the orderly,
delicate clinkng of hundreds of golden planchets,
softly falling, makes the imagination sweep with
wide wings And woman's is then the last
human touch in pairing gold disks for the Unsuitable
jaws of the stamp machines it is the last to be
forgotten when the poetry of the mint comes back in
memory.
In another chamber the stamp machines impress
the reeding milling the edges of the gold and
more the coins are annealed IN cherry colored
fires dipped in acid and polished till they CLEAN like
in the night Then with quick strokes, one by
one, but very fast, the planches receive the eagle
and the medallion of liberty, and the stream of
twenty dollar coins pours forth faster than you can
wink your eyes; yes, half million dollars, each
working hour falling from five money making ma
chimes.

RUNNING AMUCK.

The Brownsville affair still holds
the attention of the United States Sen
ate. Senator Foraker expresses the
opinion that there will be no adjourn
ment until bill for the reinstatement
of the soldiers has been acted upon.
Mr.. Roosevelt, who seems to be at
white heat, whenever Mr.. Foraker's
bill is mentioned, intimates in very
plain language that if the bill offered
by the Senator from Ohio is passed, he
will veto it, and if it is passed over
his veto he will ignore it.
Mr.. Roosevelt seems to be particu-
larly wrought up because attention has
been called to the fact that he is in
competent to act as judge of the in
nocence of the soldiers as provided in
the Warner Bill. His impetuosity is
getting the better of his Judgment, as
it did in the original order of dismis-
sal. In the original order he upset the
usual rule of American Jurisprudence,
and now he is trying to force through
the Senate bill that will place him
as Judge over the soldiers when he has
repeatedly stated that he believes all
of them to be guilty-if not of the
crime of shooting up the town then of
conspiracy of silence" to protect
those who were guilty.
Mr. Roosevelt, in explaining why he
considers the Foraker Bill obnoxious,
likens himself to King Edward of Eng
land; but to us when he attempts to
force the men he has already adjudged
guilty to prove their innocence to his
satisfaction, he seems like a judge of
some of the Kangaroo" Courts of the
South. Roosevelt is running amuck.
He needs his most conservative advis-
er, Mr.. Taft, to head him off before he
runs into a stone wall

some of these lily-whites will give an
some of them chime "Them's my SEN
timents." But we fear we are over
reaching ourselves in intimating that
some of these lilywhites will give an
intimation of their views before the
meeting of the National Republican
Executive Committee. Since it is
thought that the lily-whites will have
hard row to hoe at Chicago, these
gentlemen might cover their exulta-
ton at anything Mr.. Taft may say as
to the disfranchisement of the Negro
being step in the right direction, by
their seeming love for the brother in
black at this particular time.

tempt for the law of the land, the
courts of the state and all constituted
authority by taking from the Jail and
hanging in broad daylight an Is year
old boy. The charge alleged against
the boy was attempted assault and
general sauciness.
1t does not seem to be very clear
from the accounts published in local
papers as to what race the victim of
mob violence really belonged. He
was classed Negro but judging from
the frequent intermixing of the blood
of white and blacks in his immedi-
ate forbears it is question as to which
race he really belonged. But, be that
as it may, it does not lessen the stig-
ma that is to be placed upon the fair
county seat of Giles. 1t is really i'm
material whether the victim was of
the black or white race. The one i'm
portant thing is shall the law be SUI
preme?
There was little or no excuse for the
Pulaski mob. Court was in session and
as the best citizens" marched from
the Jail, they passed by the building
in which the case was under considera-
ton. The best citizens" held in con-
tempt the laws which their own race
had made, they set at naught the Of
ficers whom they themselves had
elected to enforce that law; they
showed by their actions that they put
no faith in the juries composed ex-
clusively of their own race and set an
example in law defiance to their elm
itative" brother that some day may
prove a boomerang.
If the white man wants to teach the
Negro to be law abiding he himself
must be law abiding. If he does not
respect the laws Of which he is the
maker and is the sole arbiter in its
enforcement, how can he expect others
to pay obeisence to that law? There
are laws to punish men guilty of such
crimes as that of which this question
mark boy was accused. If the punish
ment does not fit the crime then
change the punishment so that it will
and let the law take it's course The
lynching was a blot upon the hitherto
fair name of Pulaski. The good citi-
zens of that town owe it to themselves
that these midday, unmasked MUIR
derers should have a tangible exhibit
ton of the efficacy of those laws
which they hold in such high con-
tempt.

We are awaiting with deep interest
the final outcome of the charges pre-
ferred against Policeman Shuttle
worth by Chief Curran on the grounds
Of drunkenness and cowardice. 1t will
be remembered that Officer Shuttle
worth is the same man who was
charged with numerically beating DR..
A. G. Robb, and further that an effort
was made by the colored people to
have him discharged several years ago
on account of the killing of a youth
in South Nashville. He was eXoner-
ated of the first two charges. Will he
be excused for claiming that he hid
under house from Negroes?

We have no sympathy with those
who would dub DR.. Booker Washing
ton a scoundrel because it is thought
he favors Mr. Taft for President. Mr.
Washington has as much right to his
preferences as has any one else. He
may be in the wrong according to our
opinion, but he certainly must be
granted that what each of those de-
nouncing him claim for themselves
the right to have and express his con-
victions. There is no doubt that if he
holds such convictions he is out of
sympathy with the race, but the race
itself should and doubtless will refuse
to follow in the Taft band wagon if he
attempts to lead. Because one does
not agree with another is no reason
why the common amenities of decency
should be forgotten.

The lily-white conventions have
shown a strange fondness for Negro
delegates to the National Republican
Convention since the report has been
circulated that no lily-white delegates
will be seated. They seem to think
that one Negro delegate will be the
ounce of leaven that will save the
cake.

BOSSES MUST 60.

The republicans carried Davidson
County in the election of 1896. This
result can be directly attributed to
two causes. First, the republicans
locally were out of power and there
had been 10 interference in local af-
fairs by federal Office holders. Second,
the democrats were divided.
Tennessee, like Davidson County,
in 1896 was united. All over the
state, the federal offices of Importance
were held by democrats. The party
was united in it's efforts to capture the
state and reform the irregularities
that were supposed to be going on.
All elements Of the party were recog-
nized No snap County Conventions
were held. Wherever contests in the
party arose they were decided with
justice and importantly. The watch
word was: Tennessee for Republi-
cans" This energetic and united ef-
fort of the united party brought what
many persons believe, had their been
a fair count, a republican victory.
Tennessee, we believe, with fair
election and fair count is a republican
state. Her people believe in republi-
can principles and are willing to vote
for those principles when the party
presents united front with no bick-
erings and factionalisms in the rear
guard on account of irregularities in
local conventions.
The democrats of Tennessee in all
likelihood, will be divided this year no
matter what the outcome of the fight
between the Patterson and Carmack
factions. But, can the republicans
win? Has not the chicanery by which
is was possible for a committee to
name the delegates to county and con-
gressional conventions irrespective of
the wishes of the voters of the party,
alienated a sufficient number of the
voters of the party to make success
almost next to the impossible if their
acts are upheld? Has not the 81 WON'T
hear you for one minute" sentiment
made 1t highly improbable that many
of the rank and file will stay at home
when it comes to election times?
The republicans of this state ought
to get together but they never will do
so, so long as federal office-holders by
their pernicious activities control con.
ventions. They never will win cleo.
tions so long as County Committees
by trickery and for the advantage of
the bosses name the members OF
County Conventions. There is need for
a change and the Convention that
meets to-day is the precursor of a
shake-up in the boss ridden party of
this state.

At a meeting yesterday of the Washing
/ soeiation at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
f. Carl Smith, 1873 Seventeenth street
northwest, Representative Charles d.
j Carter, of Oklahoma. a seven-eighths
Choctaw talked Interestingly on the
aboriginal and civilized Indian.
THE Indian In his primitive condition
is different from the white man OF any
class or condition" said Mr. Carter. His
mind does not work Ike a white mans
mind.
His Mental Training.
Every human being takes a certain
share and a large share of his mental
training from his surroundings. When it
is remembered that the Indian has led
wild nOmadic life for centuries, utterly
dissimilar from any other class of people.
IL will not be wondered at that his char
acteristics are radically peculiar TO Him-
self"
Mr.. Garter said ii was true that the
aboriginal irGian had many vices not evil
denced IN the white man. But he also
had many virtues his white brother did
not possess. As the Indian becomes edu-
Gated these vices disappear and his vir-
tues are displaced frequently by the white
mans faults
An Indians fidelity to a friend is one
Of the virtues that civilization does not
eradicate. He is always your friend il
once your friend. AS his friendship, so is
his hatred. - the speaker continued
IAN Indian IS faithful 10 his obligation
He will do almost anything TO meet his
obligations"
Would Solve Problem.
Mr Carter said the enlisting OF com
panies composed only OF Indians would
tend toward solving the Indian problem.
It would develop great generals.
let the government show a willingness
10 help them" said Mr Carter. you
must not ask the Indian TO make brick
without straw or produce crops without
agricultural implements. Most OF the IN
dians are poor in land Farming imple-
ments should be given them. Close at
tention should be given that the Indians
virtues are not eliminated in the process
of civilization"
