THE STEAM ROLLER.

We have fought for decency, JUS
tice and the square deal in politics in
the Sixth Congressional Convention
but the National Republican Executive
Committee has seen fit to throw aside
all elements of justice and seat the
delegates of the alleged sixth district
convention simply because they were
for Taft With us the fight is not
ended We believe that right must
prevail and though a committee with
only one object in view has endorsed
the high-handed and illegal actions
pursued in this state, the final triumph
of the masses over the federal Office
holder bosses is only delayed
The Globe believes that its fight was
founded upon justice. The Globe
knows that every charge it made as to
the irregularity of the committee-se-
lected convention and the use of feder-
al of1ce-hOlders to control that con-
vention, was proved before the Ma
tional Committee and of a consequence
is in a position to know that the Ma
tional Committee stultifed itself to
seat delegates pledged to support the
steam roller.
The II won't hear you one minute"
lily-whites and the few Negroes look
ing for federal pie aligned with them
may take great pleasure from the out
come of the contests AS for us we told
the truth and have no apologies to
make for so doing. We shall yet see
the day in Davidson County when no
one or two men holding federal offices
can name whole county convention
and dictate every action of a congress
sional district. That day is coming!

THE SPOT-LIGRTER

Who is it that is not acquainted with
the "spot-lighter?" Who if not ac-
quainted with that parsonage would
not recognize him at a glance? He is
found in every cline, every race and
every vocation OF life We have re-
ferred to the "spot-lighter" as belong
ing to the male sex, but the spotlight
er" is found among both sexes.
The "spot-lighter" is particularly
active on public occasions like some
function Of a secret society Here one
class of him can be found in all of his
glory. He is always dressed in the
proper regalia and takes every oppor-
tunity to exhibit himself to the admir-
ing spectators. If possible, ne will Sc
cure a seat where everyone can see
him but if unsuccessful in this he
will display his magnificent physique
by marching up or down the aisle de.
liyeling instructions to the mere NOR
tails who are satisfied to be classed only
as members.
This secret society nabob is only one
Of a large class of "spot-lighUers," but
in him are illustrated the dominant
characteristics Of all "spot-lighters."
Each and every one of him wants to
appear important and most of the time
he is important-in his own mind.
Frequently he is ignorant, but more
often he is partially educated and in
some cases has ornaments attached to
his name in the shape of college de-
grees.
The "spot-lighter" is seldom dis
gushing; more often he is simply hui
morous without being aware of it. His
vanity, his lack of that something
which is known as refinement often
causes him to do things which excite
the risibles of all evenly balanced per-
sons and makes his name standing
jest in the community,
The "spot-lighter' has been in the
world since the creation of man and
will doubtless remain until the mil
lenium. 1875 afn.5s

missing note. 1t was thus that his
abilities were discovered.
After the Civil War Mr.. Bethune
was placed under the management of
a white man who exhibited him
throughout this country. A fortune
was made out Of these concerts and the
last time blind Tom" visited these
sections he was reputed to be worth
upward of 100000 But it would seem
from the press reports, someone other
than the blind musician got the money.
Other blind musicians have appeared
before the public and many of them
probably know more of technique and
such things, but we doubt if any blind
musician will make as great an inn
preston upon the American public as
did poor, blind Thomas Bethune.

THE PASSING OF BLIND tom.

The press dispatch announcing the
death in Hoboken, N. j., of Thomas
Virgins" known almost all over the
world as Blind Tom" the musician,
brought sad news to many of the mid
dle-aged and older persons who had
heard the music of this remarkable
man. But what will surprise most of
those who knew of him is the state
ment that he was during the last years
of his life an object of charity.
Thomas Bethune, the name he was
known by while making his concert
tours, was born blind, near Columbus,
Ca. in or about 1850 His faculty for
memorizing was highly developed even
in his childhood days and it is related
that as a boy he slipped into the par
lor after he had heard his young mis-
tress play a selection on the piano
and repeated the preforance without

Prof. w. E. B. Dubois spoke at Fisk
University Monday night and as an
alumnus exercised his prerogative to
criticise, by Directing to the new de.

discussion following Prof Dubois cri-

most to those who claim Fisk as their
Alma Mater. Yet we can but wonder
how an Alumni Association address
