THE KISS OF PEACE.
Hope That It May Yet Take the
Place of Duels.
Chicago Examiner.

Chicago Examiner.
That was a significant, If unpre-
meditated, conjunction Of ideas ex-
pressed in the news columns OF the
Examiner when an account OF the
peaceful ending Of French duel in
4 fraternal kiss wss followed by the
news Of the projected sale Of his
tcric guillotine- Surely it was a
hiitnesome token in this holiday sea-
son Of good will on earth.
It may be that the code of honor,
so-calIed, in France will pass away
as swiftly and unregrettedly as the
sruesome instrument Of death. The
guillotine, that dates its energies
from the reign of terror, and num-
bers its victims by the hundreds and
thousands, is not exactly the sort OF
souvenir a gentleman would appro-
priate for his private collection, but
It is pleasant to think of tiff not
CONSIGNED to the junk heap-as rele-
gated to some historical museum or
speculative chamber of horrors.
There is a grotesqueness, a SEEM
Sos anachronism, in the duel, even
more antagonistic to advanced popu-
lar opinion than the guillotine. Mod
ern law and modern thought have
not yet departed entirely from adVo-
eacy Of capital punishment, and per-
haps swift decapitation is as mercl-
full as any device. But the duel, as
a code of honor, mas too many rld1e-
uious and strained features to com
mend itself to the mind alert to nd
icule, and as surely as Cervantes
sounded the knell Of chivalry, the
modern, progressive idea will COM
Mete the downfall Of the call to NOR
tal combat.
The guillotine has followed the
race, the thumb-serews, the wheei,
and the Nuremberg Maiden. The
kiss of peace administered by the I'M
pulsive NJ. Tailhade to 81. Gohler,
emirently and fervently Ga''e as it
was, may be the forerunner OIL long
series. Of fraternal macks that will
Danish the dietum Of the code. There
IS much cheer for France in these
5 as and wonders. There is hope
1or a general sentiment that will fol-
low the most amicable impulse of
the Nobel foundation.

Poe, Harte, Holmes, Lowell-but why
enumerate names when nearly the
whole roll call Of letters is answered
BY small men?
The same rule holds in every
other department Of human achieve
ment: the select few at the top have
been almost without exception little
giants-Alexander, the soldier; Aris-
totle, the philosopher; Raphael, the
artist; Newton, the astronomer !;
Hume, the historian; Milton, the
poet; Talleyrand, the diplomatist;
Montesque, the lawyer; Erskine, the
advocate; Hamilton, the statesman;
Spencer, the publicist; Gould, the
money-getter.
It will be admitted, I think, that
these are they who stand upon the
minarets Of that proud temple which
shines afar. Had Napoleon been six
feet high, says Hazlitt, he never
would have been emperor Of the
French. So far from being "stung
by the nickname of Little Corporal
into that terrible activity which
made ali Europe tremble," it was no
doubt regarded by him as a term Of
endearment. These examples, though
illustrating the Baconian theory, do
not sufficiently account for the su-
premacy of little men. So far from
being handicapped by their size,
they are cbeered and sustained. by
the God-speed of the world, which
is in itself no slight impulse.
BY the Gallon tables FIVE and a
half feet is given as the average, and,
therefore, the natural height Of
men. Every inch added to this stat
ure is so much impedimenta to be
carried, and is usually found to be
in the length of the limbs. Between
the hearts of David and Goliath
there was probably a difference of a
dozen pulsations to the minute.
While the blood of a giant flows like
sap, that Of Caesar rushed through
his brain with so much force that he
often fell in a fit while writing an
order. Other things being equal,
the shorter the person the more Wig
orous the heart, and the oftener the
blood passes through the lungs and
is oxygenated the quicker the INTEL
lect becomes.

Little Men.

When we are informed that this
or that great man was small the fact
is mentioned as exceptional and to
excite our special wonder. Somehow
the impression prevails that in the
race of life delicacy and littleness
are handicaps, when the truth is they
are wings to the feet of their possess
sors. It will surprise many, there
fore, to be told that nearly all of the
worlds great heroes have been little
men-that every man who has ac-
euired the distinction Of "The
Great has been less than FIVE and a
hzdf feet high. Louis XIV whose
addition of 'sLa Grande' referred
rather to his dress than to himself,
though he posed through life as tall,
was found, when death had stripped
aim Of his feathers, to ha'-@ been lit
tie more than dwarf.
We may take a more comprshen-
s;ve view and include the men Of all
nations rho have Won large reno#n,
aud they will, almost without excep-
tten, come under the standard l have
usmed. We know that St. Paul,
easily the first Of the Apostles, twas
in bodily presence small and weak
Aristotle, who first taught men to
think, was but pigmy in size; and
the great poet Of Athens so slight
that his sandals had to be weighted
with lead to prevent his being blown
into the sea. Virgil and Horace were
each below, and ''the mighty julius
Little, if any, above my new heroic
stature. Voltaire, the greatest man
Of letters France has ever produced,
weighed only fifty ounces at birth,
and when he died his years outnum-
bered his pounds.

tie Corporal in top-boots and cavalry

Taiers, Lesseps, and Meissonier, all

That it would never do to say negro
to Hanna or Roosevelt. By the time
Pussy-foot had got through with the
Athens pOstoffice business good
part of the audience was fast asleep,
including the host of the TURTLE
SUPPER, and one voter was eat
ing stick candy from a yellow paper
bag to beat the band, and making
about as much fuss as a hungry hog
in a peach orchard. Pussy-foot seem
ed to realize that if he did not change
the subject that the whole crowd
would go to sleep. So he suddenly
yelled out TOM WATSON, and the
crowd woke up. The balance of his
speech was devoted to the abuse of
Tom Watson; mostly in inuendoes,
limiting that you had received brides
from the Republican party to the
amount of something like 100000.
By this time a good portion of the
crowd was asleep again, and he yell
ed out, in tragic desperation, that he
had rather die politically than to
wear Tom Watson's collar-and the
guests of the TURTLE SUPPER and
the LONE OLD METHODIST
BROTHER weakly clapped their
hands and said hurra for Bill How
ard, and the farce ended. Bill sees
his finish-it is, indeed, pitiable to
look at the man. The man who was
once beloved and honored by all
classes. The man whom the people
trusted, but who deserted to the Re-
publicans. The man who has been
weighed and found wanting. He
sees the handwriting on the wall.
His name is MUD-no wonder he
likes to feast on MUD TURTLE.

any man who loves the truth and

questions. Your editorial on that
millionaire set from Atlanta, Ca, 60
ing to Washington, D. c., at the ex-
pense of the poor taxpayers of At
lanta, to boost Old Man Lon for an
other term in Congress, shows what
element it is, of the 9Th Congression-

critic in Office always.
Old Man Livingston came out to
Douglasville, Ca, about two years
ago, and with tears, it seemed, in
his eyes plead with the people to
send him back to Congress one more
term. He promised that if we would
send him back he would have Mill
tary road built from Fort Mcpherson
to the Rifle Range at Waco, Ga. He
said the road would be built right
through Douglas county, and he pic
tured to us farmers the great benefit
we would derive from it in no small
amount of dollars and cents, and. to
make his deception more complete,
at the time he sent out soldier, or
some hireling in soldiers uniform,
who rode over the county pretending
to be locating the Military road. Just
before the primary the soldier disap-
peared, and the Military road re-
mains defunct. Livingston knew
this road would never be built at the
time he promised it to the people; it
was only one of his hypocritical
schemes to keep in office. He got
this kids vote by deception in 1908,
but he will not get it in 1910.

AWAY WITH SUCH TRAITORS AS
EDWARDS.

Dear Sir:-I have just read in
your columns Of May 9Th a letter ad-
dressed to Dear Tom" and signed
"Pop." The object of Pops letter
seems to be- to let Dear Tom" and
the readers of The jeff know that
Pop" is a friend to Congressman
Edwards, and also that his opponent,
Giles, has been very bad man. The
question to be considered is: what
has Giles been for the past few years,
and what is he now? I don't know
anything about Giles present char
acter, either private or public. In
fact never heard of the man until
his announcement for Congress, but
we seriously doubt that Mr.. Edwards
would consent for Dear Tom" to
sift and expose his private character
from childhood. Say, Pop" how
would you like. for Dear Tom" to
give your life a thorough investiga-
ton? Don't you think he might un-
earth some things that would make
you hide your face with shame? If
not, you are an exception to the rule.
l hope Dear Tom" won't rake up
my old record and expose it. If he
did my wife might quit me. But
Dear Tom" won't, for he has some
thing of more Importance to do than
hunting up private records of little
folks like ''-' and myself. Pop"
further says that Giles was Dear
TOMS most rabid foe in gone-by
years, when Populism was so hot in
Tattnall Suppose he was, did that
hurt Dear Tom" as bad as little
Charles vote of March Is, 1909,
hurt every laborer and wage-earner
in America, when he deserted his
party and made it possible for Mr..
Taft to place the price of living out
of reach of the ordinary laborer?
Christ said that man shall not live
by bread alone, but this one act of
Charles, together with twenty-five
other deserters, has been instrument
al in forcing thousands to live on
bread alone, and in many instances
getting the bread alone is a hard
problem. I am one of Mr.. Edwards
constituents, and I say away with
such traitors.
