In no part Of the world were 50

founders Of that colony stepped from

proprietor transported to bis estate a
little army Of gentlemen and IL
Tented servants, and afterward came
the negro slave. Each formed 4
LASS apart from the others, ami al
most ar once there vas created q
luazi--rstrm Of arist0cracv. The
proprietor obligated himself TO pro-
-ect his tenants from the Indians
hey in turn agreed to follow him TO
battle precisely the system inaug-
uratci by William the Conqueror for

His environment naturally bred GER

others, and imposed a sense Of re-
sp0nabiIiry upon the planter for the

When liberty Iancuished in Eng
land, the Vrgjnian srrdiIy resist

One husband, ono wife, one home,
one king, one God-this vas the
planters creed. But he reserved the
right 10 rcnounce a monarch who

group Of Virginian settlers, has

The occasion was a Red Mems
picnic, which brought out q large
gathering from this iraternal or
ganizatjon. The speaking had
been well advertised aud there
were hundreds OF visitors in the
audience who took opportunity to
hear Davis.
Senator Davis took his text
from the Declaration of .ndepen-
dence, the rights guaranteed OF
life, liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness. Then ne divided the
people of the country into two
parts.
He arrayed these parts against
each other throughout the dis
course, piotuging the one as ag-
grandized wealth through COR
rupt legislation, and the other
the toiIing, producing sufferer
from corrupt Legislation,
He referred to. his speech in
the United states senate Of Jan.
If, and characterized the Metro
poIitan press as being venaI, corr
rupt and purchasable, because Of
alleged Interpretations Of that ad'
dress and the criticism that fol-
lowed it, He pictured 4,05l men
in this country of 81, 900, 900 peo-
pie with 81 per cent OF the
wealth,
Then he took off his coat and
went after corporate wealth until
great beads Of perspiraton drop
ped from his brow, when some-
body in the audience yelled,
"Take off your collar too, Jeff, ~
and the speaker promised the
ladies' present he would remove

Davis announced that he be-

footwashing, saving seed "por'

He admitted that he was a poor

Davis then took up the subject

AN oLD-TIME PRESCRIPTION

In a modern product. From time imme-
mortal sage and sulphur have been used
for the hair and scalp. Almost every
one knows Of the value of such a COM
bination for darkening the hair and max

to get a hair tonic Of this sort was to
brew it in the home fireplace, a method
which was troublesome and not always
satisfactory. Nowadays almost every up
to-date druggist can supply his patrons
with ready to use product, skillfully
compounded in perfectly equipped labora-
bories.~ Such a preparation is Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur, which is sold by all
leading druggists for SOC. and $1.OO a

Railroads and Antitrust Laws.
For the protection of our own peo-
pie and the preservation of our cred
it in foreign trade, l urge upon con
gress the immediate enactment of a
law under which one in good faith
advances money or credit on bill of
lading issued by a common carrier
upon an interstate or foreign ship
ment, can hold the carrier liable for
the value of the goods described in
the bill at the valuation specified in
the bill.
further recommend that a punish
ment of fine and imprisonment be
based upon railroad agents and ship
pers for fraud in Misrepresentation
In connection with the issue of bills
of ladihg issued upon Interstate and
foreign shipments.
Except as above l do not recon-
mend any amendment to the inter-
state commerce commission law as it
stands. l do not now recommend
any amendment to the antitrust law.
In other words, it seems to me that
the existing legislation with reference
to the regulation of corporations and
the restraint of their business, has
reached a point where we can stop
for while and witness the effect of
the vigorous execution of the laws on
the statute books in restraining the
abuses which certainly did exist and
which reused the public to demand
reform.

New York, Sept. 24.-In smaller
cities the population of which in
creases but moderately. 1t is COM
paratively easy to provide adequate
school facilities for the children OF
the citizens. 1t is different, however,
it's tremendous increase of population
Here the task becomes well nigh her
culean and it is scarcely surprising
that the school authorities find them
selves unable to keep pace with the
city's dollhouse growth. Last year
the enrolment OF school children in
New York's public schools was $50,
SOS and. owing to lack of adequate
Accommodations, 53.7S3 children were
compelled to be satisfied with half
time. This year the enrolment is
estimated at more than 100000 and 1t
will be necessary to put $1,000 or
more children on half-time. An in
crease of about $4,000 children in one
year is no small item, even for city
the size and population OF New York.
AS usual, the opening of the schools
of the lower east side was marked
by many amusing incidents and a
great deal of confusion. Under the
rules parents entering their children,
had to submit the children's birth
certificates and other papers, referr-
ing to vaccination, etc. But some OF
the east side mothers appeared with
doctors bills or gas bills instead OF
the birth certificates and few in
stances they brought even marriage
licenses and peddler's licenses.
The principal Of one of the schools
in the most thickly settled foreign dis
tricts of the lower east side was ne
little astonished when she saw a Turl
| bringing to school his little girl, dress
ed in a bathing suit of brightest hue
The Turk wanted to have his daughter
enrolled. but the principal, through al
interpreter. informed him, that If hi
wished to have the girl admitted hi
would have to have her dressed IL
suitable attire. The Turk went sadly
away and did not return.

New York is q thoroughly prosaic
city and there Is not much room for
romanticism in It. Antonio Martello,
who left sunny Sicily some time ago
and emigrated to the great city across
the water, where SO many OF his coun-
trymen do a thriving business in the
fruit-vending or Matchmaking line,
could sing a song OF New York's lack
of romanticism. were he not otherwise
engaged breaking rock at the work
house tbs sad story Antonio has
a pleasing and insinuating tenor voice
and. like most Of his countrymen. Is
born musician. When he still trod
the fertile soil of Sicily Antonio was
in the habit OF strolling through the
moon-lit streets of his native village
every night with his guitar and seren'
aiding the numerous senoritas upon
whom he layished his affections. In
accordance with this habit he started
out with his guitar the other night
serenading some of the women whose
charms had attracted him. But the
prosaic people of New York have nc
respect for the tender passions OF q
Sicilian lover. Complaint was made
and a rude policeman arrested the
singer and his guitar and took botf
