tries to rouse you to throw off your
bondage and become once more free
as did O'Connell, the uncrowned king
OF Ireland, when he marshaled the
oppressed Of his native land to bring
the irresistible force of public opinion
to bear upon English tyranny? Show
me one of your leaders who has

which will remedy abuses, restore
prosperity, safeguard individual lib

and strong.
stand squarely for white SUI
premacy as the best policy for the
blacks and the whites alike. The
law which was adopted by popular
vote today is the best guarantee of
the earnestness with which I speak.
In order to help you secure that law,
L made very considerable personal
sacrifice and did arduous work during
the campaign which brought success
to that issue.
On the other hand, consider the
attitude Of Mr.. Bryan with reference
to the negro vote. The leaders Of
that race are organized, and they are
making relentless warfare upon the
Republican party, because the Re-
publican party has at last recognized
the justice of the South's contention
that she should be allowed to regulate
her own domestic affairs. Think
what this means! The Civil War was
waged to establish the right of the
South to local home rule. We lost
the case in the trial by battle, and we
lost our slaves, but the principle was
not lost, and now, after forty years
of bitterness and strife, the enlight-
ened Republicans of the North and
East have said by actions which
speak louder than words that the
Southern people who made such heroic
sacrifices to assert the principles of
local self-government were right. 1t
vindicates every Confederate soldier
who marched and fought under the
stars and bars. It is q monument
erected by his enemy to the honor of
every dead hero Of the Southern
Confederacy; it is halo of glory for
every survivor of the followers Of
Lee and Jackson, johnson and
Forrest
But the negro leaders Of the North,
East and West are incensed against
the Republican party for having
adopted this position. There are
five points upon which they rest their
hostility to Roosevelt and Taft.
l. Because they haven't enforced
the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments.
2. Because they have aequiesced in
the Southern disfranchise laws.
3. Because the President dismissed
from the army the negro troops who
shot up Brownsville.
4. Because of the defeat of the

races is inevitable.
In the name of God, what are
Southern editors thinking about that
they make no protest while ~
Bryan and Mr.. Watterson are Afri-
canizing the Democratic party? Ever
since the war, it has claimed to be
white mans party. Because it was
the white mans party the South has
allowed herself to be ruled by it; but
now, at the very time when the Re-
publican party has come over to the
South's position on the race question,
and wishes to put the negro out Of
politics because he has become an
intolerable burden, the Democratic
party is leaving it's historic position
on the negro question, and is pitching
it's camp ON the ground which the
Republican party has Abandoned
Mr.. Bryan should subordinate to
patriotism his monumental selfshness
and say to the negroes boldly-"I
agree with the President on the
questions upon which you are fighting
him; [ agree with the Southern peo-
pie, just as Roosevelt and Taft do;
[ repudiate your support if you offer
it to me upon those grounds; I spurn
your cooperation if you offer it to
me upon terms which menace the
Southern people with a return Of the
horrors of reconstruction.
Instead Of doing this, he deliber-
ately makes an asset of the negro
resentment and takes up a position
which, if maintained, would turn the
Southern States into another Santo
Domingo.
Mr.. Carlyle somewhere in his
voluminous writings has this SEN
tence, "Cast forth thy act, thy word,
into the everything, ever-working
universe, it is seed-grain that cannot
die; unnoticed today it will be found
fourishing like banyan grove after
thousand years"
The rain-drop slips from the cloud
above, sinks into the soil where the
seed lies buried and says to it, IT
am the Resurrection and the Life;
trickles onward through field and
forest, seeking the brook, and with
the brook journeys onward, lettering
in the eddy, leaping in the cascade,
and faring onward until it reaches the
great blue sea, from which it is lifted
by the white hand of the mist back to
its home in the clouds, to start once
more from the skies with its message
to every seed of grass, and grain, and
flower, ~ am the Resurrection and
the Life. "
Nothing is wasted. I believe that
the work of every true man, every
true woman, has in it a germ of
Immortality. 1t is that kind Of faith
which has moved me to do the work
which [ have done in this campaign,
as in other years, since 1889. Polite

know, put he must have said some
thing that sounded better to them
than what Taft said. If he said any,
thing to them that was less favorable
to the South than the position of
Roosevelt and Taft, he has no right
to expect Southern support. If he did
not say something more satisfactory
to them than what Roosevelt and
Taft had said, he would not now be
getting the negro support. He can
not be ignorant Of the fact that they
are circulating throughout the whole
country written statement intended
to influence the negro to vote for him,
IN which statement they say that they
have been in communication with Mr..
Bryan for weeks, and that he has
made them satisfactory pledges.
In coming to decision in a matter
OF this sort the people of the South
should remember that Mr.. Bryan was
born in Illinois, in 1853. that he
grew up in the heated atmosphere of
sectional hostility to the South. BY
heredity, environment and education
he was saturated with the idea that
the South was wrong on the negro
question, and that the North was
right. It is just as natural for Mr..
Bryan, born where he was, reared in
the environment Of his Illinois home,
to take the side of Thad Stevens and
Chas. Sumner against the South, as
it is for a man like me, born and
reared in Georgia, to believe that the
South was right and that Stevens and
Sumner were wrong.
Mr.. Bryan believes in social equal
ity. [ would not dare to say so if I
could not prove it. He lives in
State where it is practiced, and he
has never uttered word against it.
The laws of his State do not forbid
the intermarriage of blacks and
whites, and such marriages, so abhor-
rent to us, are Of frequent occur
renee in Nebraska
The schools are mixed schools, in
which the whites and the negroes are
educated on terms of social equality.
The University of Nebraska is a
social equality school where young
negro men and women are admitted
and educated on terms of social
equality with young white men and
women. Mr. Bryan sent his own son
and daughter to be educated in this
institution, and he was not obliged
to do it, for he was able to send them
elsewhere had he had the slightest
objection to having his daughter
reared and educated in school on a
plane of social equality with young
negro men and women. So highly
does Mr.. Bryan approve of this
social equality University that he
donates $3.50 Of his money every year
to support it.
In the City of New York there is
a club known as the Cosmopolitan
Club, composed of negro men, white
men and white women. The object

WHAT A CONTRAST.

No rowdy conduct, not drunken
man, not one showing even the least
sign of intoxication, not an arrest.
This was the record made by the un-
usually large crowd in town Monday.
The people we're here for business
and they transacted an immense
amount Of It, Many sold their mules
at high prices, paid their debts, pur-
chased what they needed and placed
the balance to their credit in the
banks. There was no record OF mon
ey thrown away, no headaches from
over-indulgence and no heart aches.
What difference from the first
Monday in January a few brief years
ago. Then drunken men reeled upon
the streets; money received from the
sale of stock was wasted; the city
lookup secured its quota Of prison
ers. and many heart ached and many
a tear was shed over recreant

WHAT DOES IT MEANT

Commenting on Mr.. Carmacks let
ter to Chairman Morrow. the Nash
vile American says:
"Mr. Carmack will urge direct
primary. Gov. Patterson has not ex-
pressed himself Indeed, he has not
yet announced that he would be
candidate for reelection"
Now what does all this mean!
Gov. Patterson has not expressed
himself" But the American spoke
for him and declared in plain words
that 1t was "autb 0rized" to do 90.
When later the Tennessean denied
that anybody had a right to say that
the Governor was opposed to a pri-
mary, the American fastened to re-
mind its "feeble-minded' contempt
rary that ii had Overlooked the fact
that the American had spoken "au-
thoritativeIy" on this matter. Now,
we respectfully submit that while the
Governor had given no public express
sion to his views, ne had expressed
himself" to Mr.. z. c. Lewis, Presl-
dent OF the l.. a N. Terminal Co.,
Chairman OF the Board Of Directors
OF the N. & c. road, and proprietor or
the Nashville American, and had "au-
thorized" that distinguished citizen to
informed The public accordingly. Such
must be the fact IL the American
has been speaking veraciously.
Why this effort to back on from Its
repeated assertions as to the Cover
nor's attitude? II the Governor has
never expressed himself" whence
did the American get its authority to
speak for him? Has it just presumed
upon it's general authority as keeper
of the Governors conscience?
And "the Governor has not yet an
nounced that he would be candi-
date for reelection" Is this also In
doubt? Are the Patterson managers
beginning to see that he is up against
it. and that the better part of valor
is discretion? The signs seem to in
dictate that the Patterson managers
are "up in the air" and that they don't
know their own minds.

were crying loudly for the President
and the President only. In this con
nection, however, it is worthy of note
that no move was made by the
Brownlow contingent to organize the
State for Taft until after the Presi-
dents elimination from the fight.
The situation is an interesting one
and the public is destined to witness
another of the fierce factional fights
which have characterized the Repub-
lican party in Tennessee during the
past dozen years. Neither faction ap-
pears to care anything about the par
ty; they are more interested in con-
trolling the party machinery than
they are the welfare of the organiza-
ton or it's success at the polls. Be-
lieving that Taft will be the nominee
each faction is going to do its level
best to utilize the Taft sentiment for
use in coralling the Offices should the
War Secretary be the next President.

REPUBLICAN MANEUVERs.

Leaders Of the opposing factions OF
Tennessee Republicanism are playing
for position. The Taft Club organized
a few days ago at Nashville by adj
herents of Brownlow was. a clever
move upon the part of the gentlemen
participating to take advantage OF
the sentiment for the big War Sec
rotary to regain control of the State
machine. Although there was a good
deal of talk about harmony on the
part of those responsible for calling
the conference, the meeting developed
the fact that the two wings OF the
party in this State were further from
agreement than they have ever been.
Not an adherent OF the victorious
Evans faction attended the confer
ence. but on the contrary they have
made every effort to belittle 1t. There
is no olive branch In the republican
party OF Tennessee. Neither the
Evans nor the Brownlow faction
would know this historic emblem Of
peace II they we're accidentally to
discover one.
But the Evans people are not
asleep They are not going to allow
their opponents to pose as the orig
inaI Taft supporters, although until

THE MOTHERS LOVE.

While her clothes were blazing
about her, young Mrs. Mary Nautusch
rescued her two little girls from the
shabbily furnished apartments In the
tenement district Of the east side,
New York The little children es-
caped in safety, but this act Of hero
ism cost the mother her life. But
this she willingly gave that her own
might be saved. Thus ended a brief,
unselfish life in an act of noble hero
ism.
Happy that her children, for whom
she had sacrificed everything. even to
the last vestige of food, had at last
found friends, Mrs. Phillis Prescoe
died last Saturday at Brooklyn Hospi-
tai, of starvation. When adversely
overlook this woman she was left
without any means of support for her
self and four little ones, the youngest
being only four months and
the oldest four years Of
age. Her supply of food was soon
exhausted, but so great was the
mother love and devotion for her off
spring that this woman declined to
touch one morsel, but scrupulously
saved every crust of bread that she
might sustain life In the little ones
When at last succour came she was
past human aid, but the children had
been saved.
These are tragedies In real life.
They also illustrate the strength OF
the mother love, the strongest and the
purest and the highest bond of hui
man devotion. There is more of the
divine in the love of a good true
mother for her children than In any
thing else of this earth. It is the one
wholly unselfish love that never

too pure to seek compensation.
These women were heroines. They
are Just as much. aye, more entitled
to the plaudlst Of the world, than II
they had distinguished themselves on
the field of battle. But they died with
out the thought of their names places
in history. They cared not for the
opinion of the world. They saved
their own and that was their hearts
derire. More they did not ask and
they passed into rest rejoicing that
lifes sacrifices had not been IN vain.

A STATE PRIMARY.

a STATE PRIMARY.
Having failed 70 oner any sub
stantial argument against the direct
primary as the best method for OBJ
tanning full. free and fair express
sion of the will OF a majority OF the
Democratic party, the opponents OF
that plan have resorted TO down right
MISREPRESENTATION and perversion Of
facts. The Latest claim is that ad-
vanced by the Nashville American TO
the enedt that after full discussion
the last State convention voted down
a resolution providing for primaries
in the future" There is not one word
- evidence to sustain this charge,
but the American seeks 10 support its
, claim by quoting the resolution
adopted by that convention at the
suggestion Of Ex-Congressman Nor
gan, G Fitzpatrick. directing the State
! Comm ittee to provide uniform meth
cd 70 II the selection of delegates to
the D ext convention.
This claim is exploded by the au-
thor of the resolution, Hon. Morgan
&c. Fitzpatrick. in a letter to SEN
ator Carmack, which appears In an
{ other column of this issue. Mr.. Fftz-
patticks statement is exactly In ac-
cord with the facts as we recall them.
( The writer attended every session OF
! that convention; he heard every mo-
ton made and was close observer
of everything that took place during
the entire session of the convention,
That Mr.. Fitzpatrick has correctly
stated the facts cannot be controvert-
/ ed without doing violence to the rec
ord.
In the convention of 1906 Mr.. FftE-
riatrick was one of the ablest and
most active of the Patterson leaders.
He took very conspicuous part In
the deliberations of the convention.
HE became thoroughly Disguised with
the scenes which characterized the
\ deliberations of the convention and
| it was in order to prevent riot and
disorder in subsequent conventions
7 that he offered his resolution. NO
sooner had the resolution been pre-
sented that Former Senator Davis and
Former Congressman Snodgrass rose
to protest against giving too much
mower to the State Committee. The
resolution was then amended 1t was
at this juncture that the Hon. e. e.
Eslick attempted to make his speech
in denunciation of a machine" Mt
Eslick got no further than the state
ment: we intend to build a new
machine on the ruins of the corrupt
est machine that the State ever
knew" He was forced to suspend
because of the yells of disapproval.
In all the discussion of the FitZ-
patrick resolution and the Davis
amendment not one word was said
about a primary No resolution on
the question of primary was sug-
gested during the entire session OF
the convention. There is nothing In
the Fitzpatrick resolution to preclude
the calling OF a primary; on the con-
trary II is abundant warrant, should
the State Committee need additional
authority, for the calling of direct
primary.

BRYAN AND HUGHES.

Newspapers unfriendly to Mr. Bry-
an are contrasting his attitude toward
the Democratic nomination with that
of Gov Hughes, OF New York, respect
ing the Republican nomination for
President, to the apparent disadvan'
tage of the former. AS matter OF
fact, both have taken substantially
the same ground and there is no ma
terial difference between the state
ments which they have made respect
ing their candidacy for party nomina-
tons.
Gov. Hughes has stated that he will
not attempt to secure the election OF
delegates favorable to his nomination,
but is content to leave the entire
matter in the hands of his party, pre-
Stunning that proper action Will be
taken at the right time. While not
by any overt act encouraging the ef-
forts of his friends to bring about his
nomination, Gov. Hughes is taking
care to do nothing or say nothing that
will in any way dampen their ardor or
discourage them. He is strictly in
the hands of his friends"

tive language as that used by Gov.
Hughes that he was not candidate
for the nomination and would make
