THE GOLD LEAF.
THURSDAY, MAY ~, 1910.
Weston's Message.
New York American.

New York American.
The children were wild to see him.
Thousands of men crowded for a
glimpse through all the stretches OF
Broadway, and women smiled and
waved their handkerchief.
For here was old Edward Payson
Wetson, the apostle of primary loco
motion, coming on his two brave
feet, through the city of the great
machines.
Weston is hero, OfcOurse-because
heroism consists, and always has
consisted, in proving to the multi
tude that they have natural powers
that they have not ventured to use.
And in an age OF traction and rub
Der tires it is q great thing to redis-
cover the utility Of legs.
The old man was, naturally enough,
a. little stiff in the joints, and his
leather leggins moved witha staccatO
rhythm suggestive Of the mechanical
devices that he holds in such con-
tempt. But this lean figure was erect,
and his white mustache, upturned
against his red cheeks, was full of the
triumph OF his cause.
lie has kept the faith and finished
his long course.
In the sight OF more than three
generations of Americans Weston
has practiced his gospel Of the open
road
And the thought of him is an in
centive and consolation to all who
are caught in the cogs OF the ma
chinery and are haunted by longings
for a disentangled life.
Like all great prophets, Western
had to exaggerate-in order to arrest
the listless attention OF mankind.
Doubtless he would be the first to
confess that he is not to be taken lit
orally 1t is not necessary for the dis
cipIe to walk across the continent.
1t is necessary only to walk.
To his fellOw-citizen he prOclaims
his message:
Use your own legs more, and you
will acquire a new sense Of democratic
independence.
Get into the sun and wind, and,
keep q little in the Open-withOut q
wheel or a lever to go by-yOu will
learn how to become the master,
rather than the slave, of the ma
chimes.
1t is worth trying in politics.

The Fiddle and the Bow.
ThomasvilIe Charity and Children.

Thomasvile Charity and Children.
We believe nightly in the fiddle as
an instrument of melody. No other
is quite so resonant and appealing.
We agree with David that the Lord
should be praised on stringed instru-
ments. If we were permitted to have
our way and could secure them we
would have a dozen fiddles in the
choir of the church to which we be-
long. Singers know the value of a
violin skillfully played and the won
derful help it'renders. Were dice to see
this king of Instruments coming into
its own. For many years it has been
in the hands of the devil because of
the prejudice of good people against
it's use. Why is it not just as con-
sistent to tear out the floors from
our houses and adopt sawdust since
bathrooms must have floors! Our col
leges for women are magnifying the
violin in the music course and our
girls are learning to master this de-
lightful instrument. 1t seems a pity
that bright girl who has prepared
herself to play the violin is sometimes
rudely denied the pleasure she could
and would give the congregation by
some brother who has no more music
in his soul than mule has. But we
would by no means insist on running
rough shOd over cOnscientious people
who, though totally wrong, are en-
tirely honest. If fiddle makes some
brother to offend, no fiddle should be
played. Harmony is necessary out
side as well as within the choir, and
in fact is more important in the for
mer than the latter place If there be
Il man in the congregation who has
scruples against any instrument that
may be the object of his wrath, it is
better to fOrego the general pleasure
and profit rather than to wound his
his honest soul. We may not re-
spect his judgment but we must his
feelings. We remember an old man
in a country church who remarked
that he would as soon see a black
smith shop in the church as a stove.
There is no accounting for tastes and
for predjudices. But nothing else
connected with the church and its
worship has been so roundly de-
nounced as the poor fiddle.

Reflected on His Mother.

Raleigh News and Observe.
When a man enters the public field,
as candidate, speaker or leader, his
public utterances and policies and
actions are the subject of legitimate
comment on the public measures and
the attitude of public men, and no
sensible man objects to the words Of
approval or disapproval of his &C
tions or utterances on public ques-
tions. But when a newspaper trans
cends the line and reflects upon the
wife or mother of any public man, he
has put himself outside the pale and
is a disgrace to the profession of jour
nalism
On Monday Eugnene Hale, Jr., who
is a candidate for Congress in Maine,
entered an editors office and whip
ped the editor for insulting his mother
The article that justly aroused the
wrath of young Hale was the state
ment that Hale's mother had said
she would spend half her fortune to
elect her son to Congress, and add
ing:
Mrs. Hale, daughter of the noto-
rious Zach Chandler, and brought up
from childhood in an atmosphere OF
the most INSCRIPTIONS political Chi
canery, has said to friends in Port
land that Fred shall go to Congress,
no matter what it costs. In so do
ing, she lays aside the garments OF
modesty, which in New England pro-
tected womanhood from political as
perities, and stands forth in all the
hideousness of open corruption. Her
vile purpose deprives her of all con-
sideration due her sex, and leaves the
community to fight for it's honor
against thispolitical Amazon as best
it may"
The righteous wrath of young Hale
is approved by men of right feeling
of every party in every section of the
country.

The Way to Repeal a Bad Law is
to Enforce 1t.
Oh arlotte Chronicle.

After an experience OF two weeks
Durham has abrogated what is gen.
orally termed the "blue laws" They
were old ordinances which the new
mayor found on the books and
decided to enforce. The result was
such as to decide the aldermen to
repeal them. There are some ordi-
nances in Charlotte, which, if strictly
enforced, would be quickly repealed.
The Durham mayor is right. Every
law on the statue book, good or bad,
should be enforced. Ifthis were done.
We would soon have more good laws
and fewer bad ones. Enforcement of
the law is a sound principle under all
circumstances.

REAL ESTATE.

X. H. Trent, of the Trent Trust
Company During the week we have
had most interesting experience. 1t
was to sell good properties to three
different tourists who intend to make
Honolulu their home in the future.
They are people of independent means
who have visited the Islands this win
ter. Becoming charmed with Homo
lulu, they have decided to have homes
here for use most of each year. One
OF these purchased quite a piece of
Iand-tive to six acres-and will erect
a fine house upon it; while another
will build house that will be a dis
tinct ornament to a choice residence
locality. The present demand for
homes from this class of people is
something new, and think is a most
satisfactory Indication"
Mr.. Stanton, of the Kaimuki Land
Company: Real estate business is
good-better than we had expected for
this season. The work of building
streets in the Ocean View tract is
progressing very nicely in this fine
weather. In about ten days we ex-
