WHITTAkeR,s DEFEAT.

Mat Whittaker's defeat for re-elec-
tion as Attorney General OF the Sixth
Circuit is another discouraging sign
of the times. The people of Franklin
county evidently are not very much
concerned about the enforcement OF
the law. They made it plain that
they did not like the prohibition law
and preferred one for Attorney Gen
eral who was no more enamored Of
that statute than themselves. But is
their remedy the correct one? Is not
it dangerous experiment to nullify
law by failure to enforce it? Mat
Whitaker wes for eight years assis
tent 70 the Attorney General. For
the past eight years he has been At
torney General of this Circuit. His
record is highly creditable. lie has
been an able, fearless ana bold prose
cutor. He has sustained and upheld
the laws of the State In deed and in
truth he has been a terror to the evil
doer His oath of Office has been
kept sacred and inyiolate An earnest
fearless character, an eloquent and
convincing speaker, a bold and re
s0urceful prosecutor he has made an
ideal Attorney General Able suone
of intellect, devoted to duty, he de-
served an endorsement.
Is there no reward for those who
serve the people with fidelity? Are
the people to visit their wrath uDon
their servants who will not catch ey-
cry passing breeze nor crook tn
hinges of the knee that thrift
may follow fa ming? There was
time in Tennessee when conservation

duty and faithful discharge Of duty
the approval of the peo-
nle. Is that time gone forever? Are
he people like a blind Sampson to
pull forever at the pillars Of the TEN
ole of their liberties until the whole

A GOOD EXAMPLE.

tribute to his campaign expenses.

official distributes does not belong TO
him. but 10 the people. If he has a
high and proper conception Of duty
he will consult the public interests
alone in making appointments.
Ofice-seeking has come to be a most
expensive undertaking in this county.
Many of the best qualified for public
ser vice are deferred from entering the
list of candidates because of the enor-
nous expenses that campaign en-
tails. Running for Office is a severe
tax even on the well to do. 1t is well
nigh ruinous to the person of small
means who is defeated If the burden
were lighter and the expenses less,
better men would aspire to public
place. Any movement that will make
public life more attractive deserves
encouragement.

BANK FRAUDS.

Two of the officials of the late Cit!
Savings Bank OF Nashville, have beer
indicted for felonies. They are
charged with receiving deposits aftel
they knew or should by the exercise
Of reasonable diligence have known
| that the bank was insolvent. From
what has been published there appear
strong reasons for believing that there
! will be proof to sunnort these
charges 1t seems altogether probable
that this bank was actually insolvent
for several weeks before the doors
were closed. During all that time,
however, its condition was carefully
concealed and deposits were accepted
as though its solyency was in no wise
impaired. These facts must have
been known TO the officials. If they
were ignorant of the real condition OF
the bank they proved recreant to their
trust and should be compelled to pay
the penalty for the negligence.
1t is very difficult matter however,
to convict in this State for bank
frauds. 1t Is comparatively easy to
convict the poor negro or friendless
white man who steals small sum
from another, but the banker is a priv
ileged character in the courts. Many
have been prosecuted but few have
been convicted. Able counsel will be
employed every possible technicality
win be invoked and all kinds of sub |
terfuges resorted to. The family |
and influence and wealth of the de- |
PENDANTS will play no small part In
the defense. Well paid lawyers will
parade these matters before a sympa-
.hetic jury.
But there is another side to the case
hat the jury ought not to overlook.

ty-five years it has been edited by

CHURCH CENSUS.

It is gratifying to know that the
churches Of the city have organized
a movement having for its object an
/ accurate census taking of the city
and its suburbs. This information
win prove Of tnestimable value and il
can be secured only in the manner
outlined By the church organization.
The work, to be satisfactory must
be thoroughly and capably done.
Nothing can be sighted nor lett to
chance. No fact should be taken
for granted This work ought to be
as thoroughly done as that performed
by the enumerators in taking the
census for the government.
An accurate census OF this charac.
ter viii give the church workers Ct
the city a thorough knowledge OF
where they are at" And it is i'm
9ortant for the success of any move
ment that there should be absolutely
correct information of existing con-
ditions. Such a census as is propos-
ed, one taken by streets and by sec
tons, the personal interviews of the
enumeraters with the enumerated,
should open the eyes of the leaders in
religious work to the weak places
in their plan of campaign. In no
other way can so complete a knowl- |
edge of the devils plan of defense
be secured. The wise captain not |
only knows the strength of his own |
forces but he makes every effort to |
secure just as accurate knowledge |
of the strength of the enemy. And |
thus it should be with the captains
Of the Christian army.

MEET AFTER MANY YEARS
Brother and Sister, Living Thirteen Miles Apart, Thought Each
 Other Dead.

After mourning each other as dead for 30 years, brother and sister met here the other day and learned that for 20 years they had been living within 13 miles of each other, a dis patch from Ansonia. Conn.,, to the New York World says.
 David E. Shaw went to Lighthouse Roint with the Methodist church ex- vursiOn. As he was a member of the committee his name was called on the arrival of the party by trolley. A woman who stood watching the excur- 'sionists alight asked woman for an Introduction to MT. Shaw, saying that was her maiden name. T am now Mrs. w. Wigham," she added She was introduced. She stared at Shaw tnuently. cried, ''Is that you, David!" and fell in faint.
 When she recovered Shaw and Mrs. Wigham hugged each other in the eriew of 300 picnickers. When the . crowd heard the story it cheered.
 Shaw and his sister separated in Boston 30 years ago. She went to Amsterdam, W. r., and thence west. Twenty years ago she went to Light house Point and about the same time Shaw came to this city. Lighthouse Point is about 13 miles from here.

Now this caused those in whose hearts there burned the true light and who de sired to serve the true God to rejoice and day after day there went out from Jerusalem and the surrounding country those who preferred a resi- dence in the wilderness near the champion of their God and the true religion than place amidst the sin full indulgences of the apostate Jews.

TRlPOLI OSTRICH FEATHERS Methods of Treatment Before Ship ping to London and
 Paris.

The trade in ostrich feathers is an Important item in Tripoli's commerce, Consular Report, says. The feathers are brought overland from Central Ar vica by caravans and from here are exported to Paris and London. One of the largest dealers of Tripoli esti- mates the average annual imports from the interior at s100,000. The ex- ports to Paris and London for 1905, 1906 and 1907 were. respectively. s59, 05s, s54,040 and $50,1sO. There were no direct shipments to the United States.
 The usual kinds of ostrich feathers known to the trade come into the Tripoli market There are whites, blacks, feminas, byocks, spadouas, 3boos, drabs and floss. The Arab deal CTS bring them in unsorted packages containing feathers in various quail ities of each kind, and it therefore re- quires expert knowledge to buy ad- ~antageously from the natives. The goods are sold here by the "rotl." (The Tripoli rotl is about eighteen 'ounces.)
 The feathers are washed and sorted here, but are not dyed or curled. They are washed in soapy water and when still wet are beaten. A handful of Them are taken by the stems and slapped against the floor with a force Nshat 10 the uninitiated would seem to be enough to break them to pieces. This is done to bring out the flues or Daroules, the miniature feathers ex- tending from the barbs, and gives the plumes fiuffier, richer appearance A good ostrich plume will have two or three layers of feathers its tip should t3e perfect and it should have no transverse cut along the vane. For the retail trade two plumes are usual ly mounted together
 A large quantity of the Tripoli feathers come from ostrich farms in the Kanu district. The finest feath- eers, which bring by far the best prices. are from the Wadal and Darfur districts and are taken from wild birds.

3 How perfectly in Psalm IA the l Psalmist's picture of the apos- ! tacy of the people of Israel in ; his time perfectly fits the condi- tions which prevailed in the time of the Maccabees. "The fool hath said in his
 heart: There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominabIe works, there is none that doeth good.
 "The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any
 that did understand and seek God.
 "They are all gone aside, they
 are all together become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no not one.
 Have all the workers of ini- quity no knowledge? Who eat up my people as they eat bread and call not upon the Lord. There were they in great fear: for God Is the generation of the righteous. "Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the Lord is his refuge.
 "oh, that the salvation of lsra- ! el were come out of Zion! when the Lord bringeth back the cap tivity of his people, Jacob shall

 Paul quotes part of this Psalm in setting forth the depths to \ which man falls when he is a stranger to God.
