In a Pauper's Grave.

that the following statement is
true, and it will be as difficult
for many Of our readers to be-
lieve it as it is for US: vet there
is no reason to doubt the truth
fulness of the statement. not
Withstanding the metropolitan
press Of the country has not Civ
Ell any publicity to the tragic
death of this, at one time, among
the brightest men of our nation.
The announcement is as fol

claimed by drink when a few
weeks ago John G.. Carlisle, an
eXspeaker of the House of Rep
reSentatives. a former cabinet
officer and a United States Sena-
tor, was hauled from an under
takers establishment to be in
TERED in d pauper's grave. This
modest burial was hurriedly ar
ranged by a public subscription
in his home city, Covington, Ken
lucky No friends, no relatives.
no admiring followers gathered
to do him honor: although the
nation never saw his superior as
a constitutional lawyer and
statesman.
This account OF the end of
John G.. Carlisle may not startle
you but it does us. It not only
startles Us but it appalls as we'll.

We Still Have Pioneers.

Upon first thought it might ap-
pear that all of the pioneers OF
this country had passed away
with the advent Of the Indian and
the settling Of the public lands.
Such. however, is not the case.
We still have them and they are
doing just as important public
service as did Daniel Boone and
those other famous old timers
who blazed the trail into this
Wilderness" beyond the Mis-
sissippi.
The present day pioneers are
the men who are continually
making ventures into the un-
known farming. Perhaps they
are trying new and little tried
crops. Or maybe it is some new
tangled and suspicious looking
machinery which they are giving
a try-out. Almost every com
munity has them
Usually their barnyards are
filed with discarded machinery
or their farms dotted with fields
of weeds where some crop failed
to come up to expectations, Oh
even to the top of the ground.
Theirs is the hard lot Of the
pioneer. If they fail, as they sc
often do. they are rewarded with
the jeers and Il told you SOS" OF
their neighbors, and if they sue
ceed as they occasionally do.
their unsympathetic neighbors
slyly initiate them and ther
claim all the credit for having
! discovered the new system.
The large amount Of gooG
which such men do to their com
munities is extremely hard t
measure.
By their failures they teacl
| their neighbors what not to do
By their successes they Otter
add thousands of dollars 10 ths
wealth Of their fellow men.
Some pioneers along the linz
of soils, crops and fruit growing
are those who have ventured int
the unknown in trying by mean
of dynamite to break up the hare
lmpervlous subsoils which under
lie and make drouths so yer,

ed a family of "Snubs. The
husband and father was hard
working man. but the women
folks" dressed swell. and real
ly did not recognize certain
neighbors whom they met on the

a feeling of superiority in the
matter of dress, and social popu-
larity. One day the delivery

ivered a package to a neighbor
who belonged to the class not
popular with Mrs. Snub. The
boy says. DE boss tole me not

Neighbor No. 2 could not un-
derstand, as their grocer had
never before sent such instruc-

quietly and as matter of
course. that we, here in America
only learn of this advanced i'm
prOvement when it is finished.
The purpose Of this municipal
slaughter house is to give the
citizens of Dresden their fresh
meat products as cheaply and
cleanly as it is possible to pro
vide them. Here in the United
States We may not do these
things because they would inter
fere with private enterprise, and
we are therefore at the mercy of
the meat trust. who produces its
food products under sanitary
conditions and by methods that
were 50 graphically and disgust
ingly portrayed by Upton Sin
clair in The Jungle" several
years ago, which induced our gov
ernment to become progressive
enough to exercise a sort of hap
hazard supervision Of the big
packing concerns. The reason
they do these things in Germany
better than we do them here is
because the Germans hold the
welfare of citizens above private
gain. To the Germans every
man is a national asset to be con
served by every means tending
to promote his health and com
fort. The city of Berlin, one of
the largest in the world. has no
slum district. such as are so
shameful to all American cities.
Modern and comfortable tene-
ment houses are provided at pub
lie expense for the habitatiOn Of
labor. 1t is true, the people pay
the cost of these things, but it is
also true they get the full value
of the public revenues thus ex-
pended. That is where the Ger
man, slow as we think he is.
when comparing him with our
dollar-grabbing selves, rises far
superior to us in material social
progress. He gets the value OF
his money when expended in
public Improvements. and all is
not regarded as graft that pass
es through the machinery of
municipal government. When
we get away from the habit Of
making multi-millionaires at
public expense and begin doing
things for ourselves with the
money we may lay some claim to
being progressive nation.

Every man q Chesterfield is a
slogan soon to be sounded among
1000 conductors and station
agents employed by the Illinois
Central Railroad, through the
medium of an instruction circu-
lar on the value of courtesy"
prepared by Vice President w.
L. Park, who holds that uniform
politeness on the part of all en-
ployes is one Of the most valu-
able assets any railroad can
possess. He say that courtesy
can neither be bought nor coerc-
ed, but must come pontaneous-
ly from those in charge of the
company's affairs. It must be
accepted as a general proposition
that large percentage of the
passengers on train are in a
more or less abnormal condition
ranging from uneasiness to ner-
vOus prostration. This com
Imences when the patron arrives
at the ticket window and re-
mains until the journey is ended
and normal conditions are re-
stored by rest and quiet. Every
victory over discourtesy is we'll
worth the effort and makes a
man bigger and stronger and a
more desirable employe.

Bryan, or Champ Clark or Rep
resentative Underwood, any one
of whom seems to be certain that
the country can be made to wag
smoothly by method that has
been repeatedly tried and as
often failed. Mr.. Roosevelt's
advice in matters relating to pub
lie welfare, to say the least Of it,
is fairly abreast with the modern
conditions with which we have to
deal. The fact that the political
traditions of seventyf five OF a
hundred years ago are not appll-
cable to a modern and progress
i've government never seems to
enter the mind of the average
supporter of the doctrines of the
Democratic party. The farmer
who would start in to cut a field
of wheat with a reaping hood
nowadays would be classed as a
damphool by his neighbors who
use an automatic reaper and
binder, yet ninetynine out Of a
hundred Democrats continue to
insist that the sickle is the prop
er implement with which to reap
political benefits from our gov
ernment. The Democratic party
seems positively to have no re-
source but it's tariff policy,
which has been threshed and
threshed again without produc-
ing any grain; and should that
policy again prevail we would
just as surely again find our
selves with an empty measure
and no grist. We want to follow
men who can think of public af-
fairs with a self binder rather

Piedmont Snake Charmer Handles
Deadly Serpent at Will.

| will pay one dollar for a
healthy, unhurt snake, of
either the rattlesnake or cop
perbead variety. delivered to
me at my home in Piedmont
-Edw. Church.
The above advertisement in a
recent issue Of the Banner Gre
ated no end Of interest and curl
osity. Mr.. Church is known as
a el-headed citizen and the nn
initiated could not imagine what
he wanted with a poisonous rep
tile.
Later it developed that Mr.
Church and a neighbor. John c.
Kerr, had discussed the ques
ton of snake charming, Mr.. Kerr
making the claim that he could
handle the most poisonous of
snakes with perfect immunity
from danger. 1t was in
order to test Mr.. Kerr's claim
that Mr.. Church advertised for
a snake.
Last Saturday Jim Anderson
came to town with a vigorous
young copperhead. about two
feet long, which he had captur-
ed. He had it in a box. Mr..
Kerr, when informed that the
scenery for his snake charming
test was ready, smiled and an
nounced his own readin ess. A
crowd of nearly three hundred
people assembled near the
Christian church where the test
was to occur.
When all was in readiness Mr.
Kerr, as clipper and deboniar as
an East Indian demonstrator Of
the occult, approached his snake
ship with a small stick in his
hand. After a few passes he
took hold of the snake. The rest
was easy money. He fondled
the snake, stretched it up his
arms and around his neck, ca
ressed it's glossy folds, strolEed
it's head, petted it as one would
pet kitten, and finally capped
the climax by putting the snake
in his hat and then put the hat on
his head.
During the exhibition the cop
perhead was as docile as a rub
Der snake would have been. and
seemed really to enjoy the sport
AS a final verifcation of his
claims in the snake charming
line Mr.. Kerr gave another per
Torrance Sunday, this time US
ing a rattlesnake which was
caught and brought to town by
Campbell Neutrality-suspicious.
