POPULAR PHRASES.
Some Familiar Lines that are Con-
stantly Misquoted.
London Tit-Bits.

London Tit-Bits.
Critics who assert that we get more
slovenly and careless every day in
speech, manners and customs have
proof Of part of their assertion at any
rate in the manner in which the
writings Of famous authors are con-
tinually being misquoted and distort-
ed. In Coleridge's "Ancient Mari
ner" are these words: ':Water, wat
er everywhere, nor any drop to
drink" Ninety-nine people in hum
dred say ''and not drop to drink"
for the last line.
Again, how often we hear people
sing, "Rule, Britannia, Britannia
rules (instead Of rule) the waves"
and quote Macbeth as saying ,"Screw
your courage to the sticking point -
instead Of "sticking place" Those
two familiar lines Of Samuel But
ler's, ''He that complies against his
will is Of his own opinion STILL" are
usually misquoted as, "Convince a
man still.'
Shakespeare never wrote, "It's an
i'll wind that blows nobody good,'
although this is the version generally
given Of the correct words from
"Henry W." which run, ''Ill blows
the wind that profits nobody" Ma
thaniel Lee is similarly treated in re-
gard to his phrase, "When Greeks
joined Greeks then was tie tug Of
war; which more often than not is
misquoted as "When Greek meets
Greek then comes the tug Of war
"Money is the root of all evil" IS
trayesty Of the line from the first
Epistle of St. Paul to Timothy, "The
love of money is the root Of all evil.
Another Scripturai passage which is
often incorrectly quoted is the sem
tence from Proverbs, "Pride goeth
before destruction and an naughty
spirit before a fall'' The popular
version "Pride goes before fall"
That fine phrase from Wolfe's
poem, "The Burial Of Sir John
Moore," which runs, "But we left
him alone with his glory" is very
badly treated by people who say
"Alone in his glory" while the cor
rect words, as written by Longfellow,
of the phrase so often used. "An
things come to him who waits," are,
"All things come around to him who
will but wait.''

ment when we have had so many
things to console u.s. I hope have
convinced my friends that running
for office has only been an incident to
my work. Ny heart has never been
set on holding office, but I wanted to
do certain works. and it looked as
though the presidency might offer the
opportunity to do that work. I am
sure that in private life I can have
the chance to do something. One Is
not required to hold office in order to
do big things; one is simply required
to do those things within his reach
and that much is within the reach Of
each Of us.
"Personally I shall find as much
JOY being out Of office, if the returns
show I must be. as 7 would in office.
I hope still to be Of Influence to bring
about needed reforms. I appreciate
very much the confidecne and loyalty
of the people near us. It has been
the greatest comfort that the election
has given us. The fact that those
among whom we live have shown this
confidence we appreciate more than [
can tell YOU. It has been very kind
in YOU to come out here and visit us
on this day"
The defeat he sustained yesterday
did not weigh heavily on Mr.. BRYAN.
He was one Of the most cheerful Of
those at his home and laughed and
joked good naturally with his visit
ors. Tonight Mr.. Bryan was the
guest eff honor at the banquet Of the
State Teachers Association. where he
made a short address. He has no
other immediate plans than to rest at
his home following his canvass.

TAFT "HEALTHY BUT TIRED
President Elect Promises Success TOR
Country-May Spend Winter IN
Southern City.

Cincinnati, O., November 4.-Ear-
ly today VIM. H. Taft gave hearty
expression to the qualification he felt
on his election as president Of the
United States. Business, labor and
agriculture. he declared, had sup
ported him. His success, he said,
should be also the success OF the
country if his ability and endeavor
could make it so.
s.Please say that I am perfectly
healthy, but tired,'' was the message
Judge Taft wished uttered for him
tonieht. With Mrs. Taft he has en-
ioyed the pleasant household OF the
c.. P. Taft family mansion today, 60

ceive the plaudits of thousands OF MS
fellow townsmen as they lined the
streets and filled the windows tor
blocks in the line Of march Of the par
ade of the Woodward High School
pupils, faculty and trustees. Mr..
Taft made the principal address at
the corner stone laying OF the new
building of this school, from which
he graduated when boy. The func-
ton gave the city opportunity to
pay it's first daylight tribute to the
president-elect. Judge Taft did. not
refer to the election or politics IN his
address, but confined himself to the
history of the school, which held tor
him many fond memories.
A speech to the Women's Foreign
Missionary society of the Methodist
Episcopal church, in annual session
here. tomorrow morning and a ban
ouet Of the Cincinnati Commercial
club, tomorrow night constitute the
public functions which will occupy
Judge Taft before he leaves for Hot
Springs, Va, Friday.
''I am going away for a complete
rest of at least two weeks,' said
Judge Taft tonight. "No. [ am not
going to hold political conferences;
neither am I going to consider cabinet
candidates nor political appointments
during this time. It is to be period
of as near rest and quiet as l can
make it,
After Hot Springs the Taft family
is considering a number Of places for
residence during the months that
will intervene before inauguration.
Among these is Asheville, n. g.,
which has some objections because Of
cold. and Atlanta, Ca, the consldera-
ton of which are now being brought
forward. The decision will be the one
important work of the Hot Springs
soiourn. While there the Taft family
will occupy a cottage and it has been
stated that the festivities Of the re-
sort will be eschewed.
Three thousand or more telegrams
of congratulation have been delivered
to Judge Taft today. They include
messages from cabinet officers, sena-
tors, representatives, ambassadors.

MIR. VAN CLEtVE AND THE DEN.
 YER PLATFORM.

Jefferson said that the corner stone of Democracy was equal rights for all men and special favors for none. The Denver platform, however, which has the impudence to pretend that it rep resents Jeffersonianism demands spe- cial favors for one element of the peo- pie, the labor unions, an clement moreover, that comprises only mi- mute fragment of the country's work ing and producing forces.
 Now let us business men Of every party discard all political labels and get at the substance which the labels conceal, and then ask ourselves what does this Denver doctrine represent We shall see that, so far as 1t touches the country's trade-and it touches all sorts of trade intimately, and at many points-this Denver creed is mon- archy and not democracy or repubi- canism. A regime run on that class generating and classperpetuatlng plan-and inquest ionably it would be run on that plan if it's candidate sbould be elected-would be an oli- garchy. and not a government of the people. by the people. and for the people. Jas. w. Van Cleave in Amer jean Industries.
 The first sentence in the foregoing quotation was true when Jefferson gave it utterance and Is true today and Mr. Van Cleave, in q pitiable effort to throw the onus of class per petuation and of class creation upon the Democracy is guilty of Republi- can fault now become common--i. e., picking out defects which have be- 1onged to the Republican party ever since US OfSdulLdtlOH dLu illeuptIHS to saddle them upon the Democracy. The idea of the Democratic party de claring for lass-perpetuation or class creation-two evils which 1t has fought increasingly and in a measure prevented-is preposterous. We do not refer to the manifest injustice of such a charge because We expect no Justice from the Republican party II is incapable of administering justice, and this very fact bids fair to react .npon it with results which will place ahe hoary old sinner in the attitude Of n criminal defending his crime and
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1908-07-29

the motives which brought 1t about.
 The Denver platform declares for no special privilege; but it does say
 that capital shall net enjoy fayo2~ tha; are withheld from labor
 See how adroitly Nr. Von Cleape attempts 10 mn1ct tile doctrincy of De mocracy and turn them to his own ad- vantage, Democrats everywhere, both i as individuals and as a national party 1 have fought stubbornly every sugges- tion to place our government upon monarchial basis, or a paternal basis, or to permit the iniquitous movement toward imperialism. The Republican party this moment stan1 for, and fights for, these very things which the Democracy opposes, yet Mr. Van Cleave professes to fear the monarchy which, he ayers, is con- cealed in the Denver platform
 We quite agree with Mir Van Cleave when he says that labor should be subject to some regulations, for its acts and methods are often reprehen- sible; but we can see no sinister leaning toward monarchy nor toward class legislation in the plank which Mir. Van Cleave looks upon as calam- itous.
 We see much in union labor to crti- else, but it's principle rings true, and correctly applied, that principle is en- titled 10 just as much consideration at the hands of our government as the principle which ought to be the main stay of organized capital. There are just grievances against organized la Dor, but there are also grievances e4udlly Just dSdllSl OiSdulZ2u capital, and it should be the business of Re publicans and Democrats alike to ad- just these grievances with equal jus tice to both parties.
 In the meantime we suggest that Mr. Van Cleave take a look in his mirror and see what a member of the class-creatins party looks like.

BRYAN AND THE NEGROES.

\ delegation of negroes, formerly Republicans, of Lincoln, Nebraska. waited on MT. Bryan recently and de- c!ared their intention to support the Democratic party in the Presidential election This is as it should be-
 We have often wondered why ne groes were so partial to the Republi- can party. It is true that Republicans in some of our States will practice so- cial equality with negroes, but when it comes to matter of dollars and cents, or even bread and butter, the negro is ignored. In the happily late carpetbag days the colored brother was flattered into the belief that his northern friends would receive him with open arms into the bosoms of their families, but he has discovered since that the carpetbagger was using him as a catspaw His women were seduced and his property stolen and the carpetbagger went on his way leaving his negro dupes with much experience but no money nor property nor influence,
 Whatever the negro has accomplish ed by way of progress he owes to the Southern Democracy which. while it refuses to acknowledge him as so- cial equal has clothed him and fed him and educated his children.
 It is time for negroes to ask them- selves what the Republican party has done fer them. II has disposed of a few minor offices to individual ne oroes, but the great body of negroes have gone on voting the same old ticket and getting the same treatment from Republicans year after year.
 It is charged that the negro has been disfranchised in the South, but admitting for the sake of argument that the charge is true-does he not deserve ii? Does it seem reasonable that one should continue to feed a dog which bites ones hand at every op- portunity? We think not
 The negro has been trying for forty years to break into politics through the medium of Republican ballots. but he has succeeded only in being herded like a flock of sheep and driv en to the polls for slaughter.
 The Democracy offers them nothing along the line of social equality and fat government positions. but it does offer V.em protecton and absolute fairness in dealing with them.
 The negro ought to realize that his friends are here in the South and that the South is unequivooally, inevitably and unalterably Democratic.
