BETTER THAN GOLD.

Better than grandeur, better than gold
Than rank and title a thousand fold,
Is a healthy body, a mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always
please.
A heart that can feel for a neighbor's
woe,
And share his joys with genial glow
With sympathies large enough to en-
All men as brothers-is better than
gold.
Better than gold is is a conscience
clear,
The toiling for bread in an humble
sphere;
Doubiy blest with content and health,
Untried by the lust of cares and
wealth.
Lowly living and lofty thought
Adorn and enoble a poor mans cot !;
For man and morals, or natures plan,
Are the genuine test of a gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
OF the sons of toll when their labors
close
Better than gold is the poor mans
sleep,
And the balm that drops on his SUM
bers deep,
Bring sleeping draughts from the
downy bed.
Where luxury pillows his aching head,
His simpler opiate labor deems
A shorter road to the land of dreams.
Better than gold is a thinking mind
That in the realm of books can find
A treasure surprising Australian ore,
And live with the great and good of
yore.
The sage's lore and the poets lay,
The glories of empires pass'd away,
The worlds great drama will thus en-
fold
And yield a pleasure better than gold.
Better than gold is a peaceful home,
Where all the fireside charities come
The shrine of love and the heavens of
life,
Hallow'd by mother, or sister, or wife,
However humble the home may be,
Or tried by sorrow with heavens de-
cree,
The blessings that never were bought
or sold,
And center there are better than gold

CURRENT COMMENT


his oath of Office he would be acquitted
quickly in a court of justice.
1t is unfortunate, of course, that he
profited by his connection with the
Athens Street Railroad bonds, but it
doesn't appear that he engaged in that
transaction with the expectation of
making a profit. The profit was un-
expected. If he had made the deal
with the hope of a profit the case
would wear a somewhat different as
pect, though, even then, if the law
didn't prohibit him from dealing in
street railway bonds, he would not be
guilty of violating the law or his oath
of office. There are men, no doubt,
who would avoid having anything to
corporation while holding the Office of
railroad commissioner, but because
there are it doesn't follow that Mr..
McLendon has broken a law or VIC
lated his oath of office. 1t only ap-
pears that he isn't gifted with quite
as delicate a sense of what is proper
for an official to do as some other men
are. If this is the whole case, why
should the Legislature hesitate as to
it's course? Why this talk of impeach-
ment proceedings which
would be pretty certain to cost the
state a good round sum?

WILL THERE BE IMPEACHMENT
PROCEEDINGS!
Savannah Morning News.)


VIII there be impeachment proceed
ings in the McLendon case? There
has been some talk of them, but would
the impeachment Of the suspended
commissioner meet with the approval
of the people? 1t is doubtful. An i'm
parchment trial would mean, in all
probability, an extcns on of the ses-
sion that would cost a good many
thousands of dollars. The financial
condition of the state is such that it
cannot we'll afford extraordinary ex-
penditures of any sort
How does the case stand at present
AS far as We are able to see the Leg
islature is prepared to dismiss the
charge made by Gov. Smith. The
action of the Senate in passing the
Irwin bill, taking from the Governor
the power to suspend Railroad Com
missioner, indicates pretty clearly
that if McLendon's fate depended up
on those charges he wouldn't have
any reason to feel uneasy. We may,
therefore, assume the charges are cut
ting no figure in the case. Of course,
there will be speeches in which the
effort will be made to sustain Gov.
Smiths position, but they will not
influence the Legislature.
But what about the bond charges?
They are more serious. But, did Com
missioner McLendon violate any law
in dealing in the Athens Street Rail-
road bonds? He asserts that he didn't

body charges that he did, If he vio-
lated no law, what is the charge
against him? That he violated a
moral obligation? 1t is claimed, that
being a railroad commissioner, he
should have avoided all connection
with securities of corporations over
which the commission has jurisdic-
ton. There seems to be some little
foundation for this--claim, but isn't
room for the belief that he acted in
perfect good faith, with entire SINGER
ity? 1t seems to us there is. If he

A WOMAN CONGRESSMAN.
New York WOrld.O


Unless Speaker Cannon has some
thing better to worry about while the
conference committee is in session
behind closed doors, he might chew
the cud of reflection over the an
nouncement that an attempt is to be
made in Colorado next year to elect 4
woman to Congress.
There have been women in the Col
oradO Legislature, and it is not in
conceivable that one might be elected
a Representative in Congress, al
though it is doubtful if she would ever
OCCUPY seat long enough to become
a pestiferous insurgent like Vic Muir
dock and other impious rebels against
the House organization.
The Constitution of the United
States is not surffragette. In plain
simple words, written with the chaste
pen of Gouverneur NORRIS, it defines
the qualification of a representative in
these terms:
tive who shall not have attained the
age of twenty-five years, and been
seven years a citizen of the United
States, and who shall not, when ell
ected, be an inhabitant of that State
in which he shall be chosen"
Presumably there are women in
Colorado who have attained the age
of twenty-five years and been seven
years citizens of the United States
but the third person singular mascu-
line pronoun is another pair of sleeves
as the French say.
The issue rests with Uncle Joe and
the generation of vipers that help him
boss the House; for the Constitution.
further provides that leach House
shall be the judge of the elections, re-
turns and qualifications of it's mem
bers." 1t is not believable that even
the Congressional mere man has SO
far lost his spirit as to regard 'he"
and "she" as interchangeable terms,
Whatever the returns from Colorado
may show.

WOMEN TO SEND
WOMAN TO CONGRESS
She Believes 1t Would Be
Good for The Country.

Denver Colo, July 24.-The women
of Colorado are to make a stubborn
effort to send one of their sex to
Congress two years hence Such
was the announcement made to the
visiting delegates from the Internal
ional Council of Women by one who
spoke for the women's associations in
the State.
"Of course it is difficult to tell
whether we will be successful in our
efforts or not" said Mrs. Harriet
Wright, former member of the State
Legislature, but we are looking for
ward to landing a woman in the halls
of Congress, and We certainly are
going to make a determined trial"
Lady Mcmillan, who talked suffrage
to the House of Lords for four hours
and then stopped only because they
ordered her to, brought out the state
ment. She put this question to the
Denver women who were entertain
ing her: when are you women go
ing to send a woman to Congress? ?"
The reply was quick and decisive
In two years"
All are agreed that Mrs. Sarah Plat
Decker is to be the candidate.
Mrs. Decker herself says she has
never considered the matter seriously
owing to her belief that there is s
Federal statute or constitutional pro
vision that women cannot be mem
bers of either house Of Congress.
She believes, however, that they
should be entitled to seats in the ma
TONS Legislature, and is confident
that their presence there would be
beneficial to the people.
One of her chief hobbies is a dras-
tic anti-child labor law, and she says
she has become almost hopeless Of
securing its passage by men, either
in State Legislatures or in Congress
She thinks if women could get int
these legislative bodies they would
quickly pass laws to conserve the
nations children, which she deems o
far greater importance than the con
servation of natural resources.

RETRIBUTION COMES.

1t sounds strange, but the fact re-
mains, the hot-bed of abolition in an
te-bellum days, is up in arms, so to
speak, against the negro Burling-
ton, VT, one of the northernmost cit
les of New England, is confronted
with a question similar to that which
disturbed the peace of Brownsville,
Texas, and the people are acting not
unlike their brethren of the south.
The trouble was caused by the decis-
ion of the government to quarter
twelve hundred negro cavalarymen at
Fl. Ethan Allan three miles from that
city.
According to a dispatch from Bur
lington, white people have refused to
eat in restaurants with the negroes
and citizens of Burlington and Winoo-
ski are demanding separate cars for
whites and blacks on the trolley road
Jim CrOw"-cars, as they are call
ed in the south. The first trouble
started at Winooski, a little town a
mile from the fort, with l 400 iuhab-
itants. Winooski, while officially a
dry town, is supplied with two Oh
three kitchen "cubbys,' and the col
ored soldiers are in the habit of Wis
iting them.
The dinpatch further says that
there has been trouble enough al
ready with only a portion of the col
ored regiment here, and the natives
are becoming alarmed over the pros
pect of what may result with the
whole detachment in town. The race
prejudice has already extended to the
restaurants, cafes, moving picture
houses, and even the country papers
are clamoring for the soldiers to be
moved. This is the first time in the
history of New England when coloret
troops have been stationed within its
borders"
1t would appear that the day of re
tribution is coming to the people o.
New England. They have abused the
southern people all these years fol
no more than they themselves are do.

If MOTHER WOULD LISTEN.

Margaret E Sangster, in the Kansas
City Star.
If mother would listen to me, dears,
She would freshen that faded gown,
She would sometimes take an hours
rest,
And sometimes a trip to town;
And it shouldn't be all for the chill
The fun, and the cheer and the play,
With the patient droop of the tired
mouth
And the Mother has had her day"
True, mother had her day, dears,
When you were her babies three,
And she stepped about the farm and
the house,
AS busy as ever a bee;
When she rocked you all to sleep,
dears,
And sent you all to school,
And wore herself out and did without.
And lived by the Godlen Rule
And as your turn has come dears,
Her hair is growing white;
And her eyes are gaining the far
away look
One of these days, in the morning,
Mother will not be here;
She will fade away into silence
The mother so true and dear
Then, what will you do in the day
light,
And what in the cleaning dim?
And father. tired and lonesome then
Pray, what will you do for him?
If you want to keep your mother.
You must make her rest today;
Must give her share in the frolic.
And draw her into the play.
And, if mother would listen to me-
dears,
She'd buy her a gown of silk
With buttons of royal velvet,
And ruffies as white as milk.
And she'd let you do the trotting,
While she sat still in her chair;
That mother should have it hard all
through,
1t strikes ME isn't fair.

KING CORN AND KING COTTON
christian Science Monitor)

| (CnflSLldn science MOnltOr.l
1t is proposed by G. S. Viewer.
chairman OF publicity committee Of
, the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers'
Association, that the cotton interests
OF the South unite in holding a mon
| ster cotton carnival in some repre-
sentative southern city, possibly New
| Orleans, with the view of exhibiting
to the world the New King Cotton, in
all his majesty. We are told that. as
tentatively outlined, the project con
templates the bringing together of
Southern, New England and European
cotton spinners with specimens of the
wares; representative southern farm
ers, with actual illustrations of eX-
| listing methods of cotton production;
government experts, with exhibits
showing intensive and improved pro-
cesses of cultivation; manufacturers
and mill people, who would furnish
exhibits to illustrate the great variety
OF present use for by-products of the
cotton seed, from "hogless" lard to
toilet articles.
This is an ambitious and common
dable project. There is no longer any
sedtionalism and even if there were,
We of the North should be as deeply
interested commercially in the sue
cess of such a carnival as the people
of the South, for King Cotton is now
national character.
So, also, there is talk of a great
corn festival in a representative
,, western city, possibly Chicago, in Gel
ebration of the fact that the corn crop
this year will, in all probability, reach
the three billion bushel mark. For
there is a King Corn as well as a
King Cotton, and while each has his
own particular set of admirers, sup
porters and followers, and each has
his own set of subjects and dependents
each is an independent sovereign.
Singly, they could, if called upon to
do so, come pretty near feeding and
clothing all humanity from the vast
storehouses at their disposal Wei
have other mighty princes, of course
but they differ widely from King Corn
and King Cotton, the difference being
noticeable in the fact that while these
confer titles upon the two greatest
staples of the country, the others have
titles conferred upon them. That is,
we have Oil Kings, Steel Kings, Lum-
Der Kings, Copper Kings, Kings of
the Wheat Pit, etc.
All of which goes to show that while /
we are republican in our governmental
methods and democratic in our insti-
buttons, we are not entirely indiffer-
ent as to royalty, nor wholly ignorant
as to certain of its distinctions and
limitations.
