YOUNG AT 81

A distinguished citizen of New
York, John Bigelow, died last week,
aged ninety-four.
For several years the newspapers
have been talking Of this mans
great age" Nearly all Of Mr..
Bigelow's friends had almost for
gotten, in their excitement over
his age, qualities and accomplish
ments much more important than
merely living to be ninety-four.
As a matter of fact, Mr.. Bigelow
has died much too soon. Before
the world is very much older, to
die as young as ninety -four will be
considered unnecessary and mex
cusable
We are accustomed to hearing
about very old people living in the
past-about Methuselah and 9TH
ers.
But the fact is that We of this
day are, as Bacon said, 1.-The an
clients"
We are ancient because our
world is older, and We are older
and wiser with it. And we are
ancient because we live much
longer than men used to live.
You may be sure that before
long = certainly within two OF
three hundred years-as mems
knowledge increases, 40 prevention
of disease replaces the present
stupid and inadequate "cure," and
a. disease germs disappear before
science, the man of one hundred
and fifty will be q commonplace
and the "old man" will have passed
Two hundred.
Today, whoever chooses to prao-
tice self.denial, common sense and
follow rules perfectly established
can live easily enough to be a
hundred, barring accidents.
Regularity il the greatest thing
in old age, and the greatest thing
in youth to insure old age.
Sleep, eat and exercise regularly.
The greatest thing for the hu.
man body and for health without
exception is q plentiful supply Of
oxygen-which means breathing
plenty Of fresh, pure air.
Sleep with your window open
always. Remember that, - wise
old Moses said, The blood 10 the
life," and the quality Of the blood
depends upon the quantity ol
oxygen. Tho blood goes to the
lungs to be cleaned Of the impur.
tiles gathered up on it travels
through the body and TO take up q
fresh supply Of oxygen.-Chicagc

few sheckels down in their jeans,
they strike bee line for their prey,
and the first thing they will tell
him Will be the bld stereotyped speech
of race pride; good citizenship and
sacrifice for the good of the people
They go on to say that we are all
poor, and cannot put any money into
this thing, but thus and so must be
done for the good of our race.
1t is strange indeed that so many
of our good men cannot see the folly
OF clicking in with these old wornout
grating politicians It is time that
the Negro men should stand up as
men, and do what they conscien-
tiously believe to be to the best in
terest of the Negro people. They
should have learned by this day that
it is foolish to continue butting their
heads against stone wall, and that
the only successful method of tearing
down such a wall will be to start at
the top and take off stone by stone,
and tear the old wall down to the
very bottom and make a new start.
Holding office does not mean good
citizenship in every case. In days
past Negroes held office all through
the South. They have been in pub
lie office from the United States
Senate down to deputy sheriff. and
what has it profited the Negro as
race? Is it not a fact that the cost
has been greater than the profit? Only
recently Oklahoma was admitted as
state. The old regime of Negro
politicians had held sway in that ter

On every corner and in every
home the question that is uppermost
in the minds of the people of Nash
vile is the coming election. The regis
tration is the largest r. the history
of the city which clearly indicates
the interest the people are taking
in this contest Both sides are claim
ing victory, and from all sections the
votes will be well up to the registra-
ton. Since the advent of The Demo
crat, the color of the situation is con-
siderably changed from the view
point of public expression. Hereto
fore the Regulars have been with
out an organ as neither the
Banner nor the Tennessean would
print their news fully, and when they
said anything it was always in
sarcastic manner. This was a great
handicap to the Regulars, but they
determined not to be humiliated in
this way forever, so they have started
the Democrat The fight is on in full
force now, and will run through this
week, and on up to the night of the
ilth, when it is the plan to have a
big rally on the Public Square
The Negroes las has been the case
for several years, are divided. Some
are working like Trojans for the reg
ular Democrat ticket, while others are
bending every energy and effort for
the Independent ticket The large
majority of the Negroes, however,
is standing up with the Regulars.
The Lily White Republicanism will
not down, and it becomes a more and
more distasteful morsel to the Negro
voters of Nashville. They refer to
the Independent faction as a luke
warm people, and express themselves
as determined to vote with the old
line Democrat, headed by Mayor
Hillary E. Howse. The contest in
the Mayor election is conceding to
the Regulars now, but the supporters
of the state Democracy are working
to have landslide, and convince
the Independents that future efforts
on their part will be futile.

In the HANDS OF the Sharks.

1t often happens in political con-
test that designing men take an up
right, honest man and use him as a
tool This is no new thing, and yet
it seems that mankind is so given
to stumbling and to being blindfold-
ed, that he will never be able to
overcome that weakness. 1t does
seem, however, that men would tum-
BILE to this deviltry some time, but
strange to say, they go on falling
down and getting up. There is a
class of old professional, wornout
politicians in Nashville who have for
years been living on the regulations
of others. They study the tricks in
politics from day to day, and become
close students of men, and they set
trap to catch some good honest
man of whom they can make hobby
horse to ride up to the pie counter;
then they line up and go running to
some man who has an ak to grind
and the money to pay for the grind
ing, and they say to him, 1--WE have
the finest stone in the world, we can
make your ak as sharp as a razor"
