Music of the Farm.
From the Augusta Herald.


There is music in other places than in
an auditorium, and produced by other
musicians than the grand orchestra. We
speak of tho music of the hammer and
the saw, and of tho music of the whir-
ring machinery. There is music in the
notes OF industry to him whose are
attuned to appreciate it. as there is
music in the cIinking of tho coin to the
ears of tho miser. or in the notes of a
prima donna to tho ears of tho artistic
ally trained. There is also music in
nature. The untutored Indian hears the
music of God in the wind. There Is mu-
sic in endless variety: in the babbing
of the brook, in the roar of the breakers
upon the rocks. in the runlbling of the
distant thunder, in the signing of the
wind In the pines, in the notes of the
birds-in truth, all nature is grand or
chestra rendering an infinite variety of
music to all ears that are attuned to
take 1t in. Life on the farm is usually
considered a humdrum life, and SO it is
to them whose eyes are not open to see
the beauties Of nature, and whose ears
hear but do not understand and appre-
ciate natures music. Such ears may not
appreciate the music in the sounds which
are SO familiar, but the music is there
just the Same. And it is constant con-
cert continued without intermission. free
to all to enjoy who will but take 1t in.

The American Embassy Association
This is London cable.

A unique gathering of Americans as
sembled at the Hotel Cecil tonight as
guests at banquet given by the Ameri-
can Embassy Association in aid of the
proposed erection of adequate embassies
IN all the foreign capitals by the United
states government. Only travelling Amer
leans were invited, for agitation Of the
subject in the American colony would be
preaching to the converted. About 400
responded to the invitation.
Clarence Jones, president, of the asso-
citation, occupied the chair and made a
speech The other speakers were Fred
erick Townsend Martin. Samuel Gompers
and Henry Cachard.* The International
disgrace of fhe present system WAS COM
monty set forth, with special emphasis
upon the fact that the American djplo-
marie service was limited to men of huge
private fortunes, owing TO the niggardly,
undemocratic policy OF the government.
1t was explained that the purpose of
the association was to organize branches
IN every congressional district in the
United States TO bring high pressure on

not have carried out without this flourish
and proclamation the campaign an
nounced?
The question has never received suf-
fcient consideration here in America. 1t
has been presented to Congress several
times. but never adequately. Debates on
the consular and diplomatic appropriations
bill have brought forth few speeches in
favor of government ownership of homes
for it's representatives abroad, but they
were supported by no organized move
ment. The arguments we're sound. but no
popular sentiment having been formed
there was nothing to push them along.
The proposition to take the matter into
the congressional districts is excellent
That is where it belongs. Let the voters
be advised of what is desired. of the rea-
sons for it, and the probable cost, and 1t
should carry. There is nothing niggardly
in our support of government. Particu-
larly is this true of federal buildings pro-
vided for cities and towns throughout the
country. They are well. and some OF
them richly, appointed. Every provision
is made for the comfort of the national
officials who occupy them.
Why not extend this policy to the diplo-
matte service? Why. not house Uncle
Sans men abroad as snugly as those who
serve at home? The matter appeals to
pride as well as to the business sense OF
things, and the country should be sounded
by thorough campaign.
But why indulge in an overstatement!
Our diplomatic service is not limited to
men of huge private fortunes. The pres
ent roster refutes that. Still, the asser-
ton has been made SO often, a great many
persons have come to believe it. The
stupid old yarn that American money
bags have been on view in our embassies
abroad so long foreigners think the dol
lar mark rules to the very top in our
politics has been widely accepted. AS a
matter of fact, we have sent poor men
abroad very unworthy of their assign
ments. and some rich men thoroughly
qualified for them. The point is that
rich and poor alike in office should be
properly supported by the government
they serve.

Individual Drinking Cups.
From the Nashville Banner.


Since the days when the lnoss-covered
bucket that hung in the well was con-
sidered the type of bucolic inspiration
and healthfulness time has wrought
many changes. The development of the
germ theory of disease has wrought many
innovations In the customs of the olden
days and the hand of the law is now
welded to protect people from dangers
that their forbears never dreamed OF.
For instance the state board of health OF
Kansas has issued an order which for
bids after September / next the use OF
common drinking cups on railroad trains
and in railroad stations, in public and
private schools and In state educational
institutions. The effect of such an order
will be to necessitate the carrying of pri-
vate cups by travellers and by school
children, unless in the case of the schools
some provision can be made to have in
dividual cups kept in the schools for the
use Of the hundreds and thousands OF
children. Such provision would involve
quite problem Of management.

EIectrocution for the District.

II is proposed to amend the law pro-
vidinr a means of punishment of those
convicted of capital crime in the DIS
irict of Columbia by changing from
banging to electrocution. The suggestion
naturally revives the discussion OF
whether or not capital punishment IS
liIStifiable but this issue is not at pres
eut involved. and the question raised by
The pending measure should be consld-
cred and answered on its own merits
without reference to the broader one.
Tho present tendency throughout the
United States is to substitute the electric
chair for the gallows. Many of the
states have adopted this means of put
ting an end to those whom the law has
condemned to death, and each year
others join the list. The galiows is a
Passing institution.
As long as capital punishment is pre-
scrlbed by the statutes for the District
of Columbia the legal execution of the
convicted should be as merciful as pos
sihle. There is no doubt now in the
minds of those who have inquired into
this matter that electrocu'ion is more
humane method of eXecu.i,1 than hang
ing. The SalowS is the oarbartc relic
or a crude and brutal time. when men
were put to death for slight offenses. 1T
is the symbol of lynch law, OF unorgaD-
lied Justice. of mob murder. If comparj
sons arc permissible the electric chair
stands as the type of more advanced
processes of dealing with those who vio-
late the laws.
The District of Columbia should be in
all respects as progressive as other COM
nlunffies in everything pertaining to the
administration OF the laws. IT has sue
.essfully resisted the reintroduction Of
the whipping post as a punishment for
wife heaters. II stands for enlighten-
ment il all that pertains to the treat
uueut of offenders. 1t is now working
cut a system of punishments which will
seek the preservation of manhood and
Simultaneously the protection OF the
community. 1t hopes to be given the
benefit OF tho parole and probation sys-
lens and the establishment of model
renal institutions. The electric chair is
in this line OF progression toward a
more merciful method of enforcing the
law
Doubtless tho enlightened sentiment of
tho District will indorse the proposition
embodied IN the impending bill. Com
anissioner mcfarland has expressed the
desire 10 learn the public sentiment in
this matter before submitting report
the bill which has been referred to
the Commissioners by Congress. There
should be no difficulty in ascertaining
the trend of public opinion. If the mat
ter Is viewed in its broadest aspect,
without the futile revival of the capital
punishment issue, il is altogether likely
10 be answered in favor Of the proposed
substitution.

fully filthy condition. A few of the up
town streets are flushed with water and
swept pretty regularly; but no attention
is paid to the cleaning Of the other
streets Vehicles are allowed to stand
on Main street all day long, and some
times at Main and Madison the street
is absolutely filthy. The pickup system
may be fairly successful on our chief

but though that street is paved excel

quarter Of an inch thick and apparently
