LAST Thursday afternoon Edward H.
Hartman, the great financier and railroad
magnate, died at Arden, his four-million-
dollar home near New York. He had
gotten back home from Europe, where
he had made a vain effort to regain his
health, only few weeks when he had to
pay the inevitable debt. Although one OF
the richest men in the world, all of his
vast wealth could not ward off disease ;
and though it is estimated that he was
worth athousand million dollars, it would
not give him one short year of life addi-
tional. At the last he lies in grave as
narrow as that OF the poorest of men, his
body shall turn to dust as have those of
the millions whose names have never been
known and in whose doings the world
has had no concern. He was the most
important figure in the railroad world but
the countless wheels on the 200 miles
ofrailroad tracks thathe controlled stopped
for but two moments while his body was
being lowered into the tomb, and are now
spinning around just as they did while he
was at the height OF his power. His place
in the business world has been filled by
another, and presently he will be forgot
ten, his wealth be in other hands and his
name no more considered. Zone genera
ton passeth away and another generation
cometh; but the earth abideth forever"

1T is said that Hon. Robert F. Kidd, OF
Gilmer county, who has represented his
district in the State Senate for many
years, will have mighty hard time when
he comes up for denomination. Coming
from a temperance section, he voted
against the prohibition amendment last
winter and his constituents will probably
not send him back
There are other Senators who ought TO
be left at home for similar reaSons-Sen-
atorS Silver and McIntire, OF this district,
included. No matter what the personal
views OF these gentlemen may be on the
saloon question, they were utterly wrong
when they denied the people the right to
vote upon il. If they want whiSkey sold
without restrictions, no one should find
fault with them. But every voter has a
right TO express his opinion upon such
great moral issue, and when our Senators
denied our people this right they showed
themselves unworthy of the position they
occupy by the grace OF the people.

THE two eminent Arctic explorers,
Commander Peary and DR.. Cook, both OF
whom declare that they discovered the
North Pole, are now on their way to the
United States. and when they reach here
there will be lively doingS. DR.. Cook
says that he reached the Pole in April,
1908, and he announces his willingness
to submit his proofs TO any competent
body OF scientific critics. The fact that
he has entirely convinced the hard-head-
ed, Unconditional Danes, w.Io are them
selves intrepid Arctic explorers, of the
truth OF his claims, is very strong aSSur-
ance that he is right Commander Peary
reports that he reached the Pole in April,
1909, nearly year after DR.. Cooks time.
But Peary denies that Cook ever got
there. He said on Tuesday: al am the
only white man who has ever reached
the North Pole, and am prepared to
prove it." He has as yet, however, CIV
EN- no hint as to what his proof is, so the
public will have TO await his arrival in
this country. We are rather inclined TO
think that public opinion is principally on
DR.. Cooks side of the controversy, as a
good deal OF criticism has been caused
by Peary's attitude toward him.

Annals of American Public Life Show
How Many Masters of the Merry
Quip Have Met with
Disaster.

Wit is dangerous The annals of
American public life abound with the
wrecks of men who have paid the
penalty of being humorous. The dis
position to make an audience laugh
has been fatal to countless political
ambitions. When the late Representa-
tive Gushman entered congress he
made a speech which convulsed the
house. But he was brought to realize
that too many spicy anecdotes and
too many good stories, while capti-
waiting to the ear for the time being.
were serious handicaps to upward
progress; and he ceased almost en-
tirely to exercise talent in which he
was little short of peerless. The pro-
pensity of Sunset Cox for humoring
the jest lost him the coveted prize of
the American toga.
In like manner when Private" John
Allen, the wit of congress, ran for the
United States senate he suffered an
ignominious defeat.
Tom Corwin was another man who
became the victim of his own keen
Damascus blade, and who summarized
his experience in the terse observa-
ton that to succeed in politics it was
necessary to be "as solemn as an
ass" Proctor Knott, by his famous
Duluth speech, made an international
reputation, but for the remainder of
his life was pursued by the avenging
Nemesis. Tom Reed failed to secure
the Republican nomination for presi-
lent of the United States because his
tongue was never lacking in retort
which produced a ripple of mirth.
Abraham Lincoln found his love of
anecdote less of a help than of a
hindrance when he was called to the
helm of affairs.
craftsmanship is something serious
The immortal masterpieces of elo
| quence contain no suggestions OF
humor. The apostrophes of Edmund
Burke-the philippines of Demosthenes
the splendid orations of Cicero-are
all profoundly solemn.
And when it comes to the men who
are to represent us in the austere anG
august forums of craftsmanship or il
the grave responsibilities of the SUI
preme command of public affairs, it is
not the jester whom we are prone tt
choose.
For seasoning purposes it is wei
enough to employ the salt of Att:cs

we cannot acquire the reputation fo
wit without making up our minds

Asleep in Jury Box.

That jurymen could fall asleep dur
ing a murder trial, when a mans life
may depend on their verdict. does not
seem probable, but it happened al
Corr, Austria. recently. The sitting
heat in the crowded little courthouse
overcame the jury during the trial OF
man for the murder of his sweet
heart, and at one point a person in
court pointed out to the Judge that
several of the jurymen were asleep
After the hearing had lasted for II
hours without a break the prisoner
was pronounced guilty of murder. He
was then condemned to death, and the
indignant audience made a furious
rush at the jurymen. They. with the
officials. had to fee by side door
1t is expected that the man will be
pardoned.
