MOTHER.

Last Sunday, May IA, was observed generally as mothers day. and was marked by Wearing of white carna- tion in the honor of mother.
 "Motherp How resonant is that word of the years gone by when you, MT. Man-of- Today, was a little tot, always getting bruised and buffeted in your preliminary training for the greater and more stern bruises of after years, Hark back-you really won't have so far to go in retrospection, after all, . and remember who it was who would kiss the hurt, which reemed so great to you and make it well again. who would smooth away all your childish fancied wrongs, and steady the toddling steps. And who, as you journeyed onward along the trail of life. was ever ready to Tighten your burden; who always be- lieved in you when it seemed that the rest of the world was against you; who would always think you good. and honest whether you were or not. Mother! How much love, and kindness, and sympathy, and trust that word reflects. No matter even if mother was not per feet, she probably more so than circum- stances really justified and to you she will always be the sweetest memory of your life. Mother is always a wonder ful person, for being so.
 So hark ye back to the memories of other days, let little sentiment der meate your calloused hide, and whether she be layed away with her hands peacefully folded, while her soul travels home to God, or whether she be among us yet still watching over us and car ing for us, wear a white carnation in honor of mother.

 w. Drake, vice-presibent of the s. F. P. 6 P. railway, who accompanied F. M. Murphy a few weeks ago to the east, returned home Fri day, leaving MT. Murphy at Chicago. MT. Drake states that sentiment in that city is distinctively hostile toward the admission of Arizona into the union under the constitu tion as adopted, and it is the general belief that congress will fail to admit the terri tory.

Do Ghosts Haunt Swamps?

No, Never. Its foolish to fear a fanci- ed evil, when there are real and deadly perils to guard against in swamps and marshes, bayous, and lowlands. These are the malaria germs that cause ague, chills and fever, weakness, aches in the bones and muscles and may induce deadly typhoid, But Electric Bitters destroys and casts out these vicious germs from the blood.

HER DREAMS OF BLISS

These are happy days for old Miss Democracy the days of sweet anticipation. She dozes in the sunshine of pros perity, and smiles as she dreams. Sometimes it is Judson Harmon who fits through her visions, some times Woodrow Wilson, some times Champ Clark, and then again it is the gallant nigth who has wooed and won her three times before. At such times she murmurs in her sleep the old admonition:
 ''Be sure you're off with the old love Before you are on with the new. "But whatever her dreams of the man, she always sees him in the and won her three times before cheers of a multitude long denied but triumphant at last, sound in her drowsy ears like the distant roar of the sea
 Dream on! You have had a long wait, and no one will begrudge your happiness now that the sun fails on your side of the street.
 It is yet a long time to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, 1912, and the people are mighty in dependent. TO avoid a rude awakening, see that your favorite son falls not before the blandishments of the powerful, but works nobly for the many who are weak and oppressed. There lies your hope of victory.
 The above is clipped from the Arizona Democrat. We admire Brother Dunbar's fine language and the way he buts things. But we are reminded this is the way of all democrats, they put things, but never do things and the favorite son of the different jurisdictions of de mocracy will all be slain by MT.

Not long ago the Chicago, Milwaukee and
ot. Paul Railroad completed an extension of
It's road to the Pacific Coast distance of
about fifteen hundred miles.
The cost Of this extension was one hundred
and twenty three million dollars, which the
st. Paul paid out of it's treasury.
Now, to straighten matters out, the SEN
arate company that was organized bv the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul to build
the extension, handed over to the first men
toned road one hundred and twentv-three
million dollars worth of first mortgage bonds
on the extension and then issued and handed
over to the Chicago Milwaukee and st. Paul
one hundred millions of stock.
So instead of the extension BEING valued
at It's true cost of one hundred and twenty
three million dollars, it will be valued at two
hundred and twenty-three million dollars
just one hundred million dollars more than it
cost-and it will be made a paw dividend on
the two hundred and twenty three million.
Freight rates and passenger rates on the
st. Paul's extension to the Pacific Coast must
De made high enough to pay dividend on a
hundred million dollars of watered stock. and

a ride on this road, must submit to the rob-

the d., l.. W. did was to declare cash

THE .JEFFERSONIAN

Mr.. Farriss, as I evidently did. But such is
life
It is true that I did not scrutinize the
verblage and the punctuation of the Suther-
land amendment. But when every one of the
newspapers, and every one of the Senators
averred, without contradiction, that the OBJ
Ject Of the proviso was to take away from the
States, and give to the Federal Government,
the control of the election of U. S. Senator's
in direct primary, | imagined that l was
warranted in believing that the Sutherland
Amendment did have that object in view
Now, MIR. Farrlss assumes that, because the
Constitution clothes Congress with the
power to change the time and the rego1zati0ns
the Congress is authorized to deprive the State
of control.
Not at all.
The Congress may say to the States,
"Change your time, and alter your reguzu-
tonS;" but Congress cannot say to the States,
Il will hold the election, or will empower
the Federal Government to hold it,
Suppose the Federal Government should
undertake to control the elections in the State
legislatures, would such usurpation be en-
dured! Certainly, not.
Suppose the election goes to the people, in
primary, and the Federal Government at
tempts to name the managers, the clerks, the
officers duty, outside; and should take
possession of the ballot-boxes, should count
the votes and certify the returns would such
usurpation be tolerated?
Assuredly, NOT.
Congress may direct State to change the
dag of holding the election, and may alter
q State regulations; but the State cannot be
deprived of it's sovereign right to hold and
control the election.
If Mr.. Farriss will study the Federal sys-
tenn, he will learn there is no such thing as a
Federal voter, or a Federal election.
The voters are such, as citizens of the
States.
The elections are State elections; and to rob
the State of the control of her oa0n election,
is to deprive her of State sovereignty, and to
reduce her to the condition of q province of
an empire.
That is what such imperialists and con-
solldatlonlsts as Sutherland and his ilz would
like to do
[ cannot think that Mr.. Farris desires to
see the States made provinces; and [ there
fore insist-politely, of course-that he pros
ecute his researches into constitutional law,
until he shall have adopted sounder views. In
the meantime, [ suggest to -courteously,
Of course.-that nobody can arrive at the true
meaning of constitutional clauses who does
not study something more than the Constitu-
r. ton itself
Finally, if Mr. Farriss will let me know
what it was he wished to learn about those
congressman, [ will do my best to enlighten
him.
[ am glad to encourage those who endeavor
to keep posted on governmental affairs; and
do not mind being jolted, when our readers
think that my position is wrong.

Soothing a WrathfuI Reader


a man of your age and experience in the editorial
business and claim to legal attachments would
rush into print with violent and copous
ment on the Sutherland amendment, offered to
the proposition of Senator Borrah, to elect U. S.
Senators by the people and be entirely ignorant
OF the subject upon which you comment
unanimously?
You should have had copy of the Sutherland
amendment before you-verbatim ct literatim-
and compared it with article 1 and section of
the Constitution of the us.
Which section reads as follows, viz: 'The time,
places and manner of holding elections for Sena-
tors and representatives shall be prescribed in
each state by the Legislature thereof; but the
Congress may at any time by law, make or alter
such regulations, except as to the places of choos
ing Senator's
Now, you will observe that there are three CO
items only contemplated in the modus operandi
of Congressional elections, viz
L. Time.
g. Place; and,
g. Manner.
So by scrutinizing this section that Con-
gross has and always has had the power to
change the time and manner of eecting Senators.
Yes, ever since the 18th day of September, 1887,
or 124 years
The third or place where the elections should
take place, was alone reserved to the states.
Now, the Sutherland amendment was mere
buncombe- bosh-a mere play of politics
for the accommodation of hypocrtical Southern
Senators, to afford them fictitious excuse for
voting against giving the election to the people,
as were the speeches in Congress against the
Sutherland amendment. But what's my authority
for making this assertion? Answer When you
get the Sutherland amendment and read it care
fully, it don't take from the states the excepted
third prerogative, viz: "Place" Of electing
members But simply to re-enact part of the
Constitution that which is and has been part
Of it for "a years. that is, the time and manner.
Now get the Borah amendment and scrutinize
it and you will that it don't undertake to
repeal or in any respect whatever disturb these
two items, 124 years old.
So that the Sutherland amendment only
applies to two of the modus operand of Sena-
torial elections, which in wise interferred
with by tn BOrah amendment as they stand in
present Constitution.
[ born and raised in Middle Tennessee and
lived there all my life until I came out here, five
years ago, and have always been either a Demo-
crat or Populist and am much in favor of the
election of Senator's by the people directly you,
but the greatest danger to liberties lies in the
fact that our Federal judiciary not electable.
w. j. FARRISS.
I have written two letters to you, calling on
you for explanation of mystery in your
charges viz: members of Congress- in recent voting.
My request has been answered by silent contempt.
I revoke that request and as this is not type
under obligations to read Nine out of ten

LOCAL BOY WINS
FOR Y. ELEVEN
W. Legge Kicks Goal that
Defeats A. & N.

Norfolk, Va. Nov. SO.-Sent in cold
from the side lines, where he had lain
wrapped in a maroon blanket, shivering
during the waning afternoon,~W. Legge,
a substitute end on the Virginia Tech,
rose supremely to the occasion this af-
ternon by kicking a field goal which de-
feated North Carolina Agricultural and
Mechanical College, 3 to o.
With less than two minutes left to play
and a scoreless tie staring the two teams
in the face, v. P. /. had worked the
ball to the Aggies' 2O-yard line. Sus-
pense stilled the cheering thousands as
w. Legge shot out from the bunch Of
substitutes. Directly facing the A. and
NJ uprights and the Tech eleven know
ing well their only chance to score was
from the field goal Legge kicked the
ball straight and true.
Legge is a Washington boy, who made
a great reputation among amateur ball
teams in this city and later won ath-
letic laurels at Randolph-Macon Acad-
envy, where he prepared for college. Last
season Legge was the choice of many
critics for an end position on the ALL
Southern eleven. and his success at ".
p. l.. is gratifying, indeed, to his many
friends here.

HATCH CAPTURES
MARATHON RUN
Chicago Athlete Distances
All Competitors.

New York. Nov. 3o-Before a cheering
crowd of more than 5000 persons, Sidney
Hatch, of Chicago, won the fifth annual
Yonkers Marathon race this afternoon,
covering the distance in two hours thirty
five minutes and twenty seconds. Hatch
was representing the Illinois State Gaelic
Athletic Association, Of Chicago.
William Calvin, Of the Mercury A. c.,
of Yonkers, was second; ]. j. Reynolds,
of the Irish-American A. c., of New York,
third, and James Cleary, of the Ottawa
A. c., of Worcester, Mass, fourth.
The final struggle for the victory was a
hard one, and the distance between the
first four men but slight. About sixteen
miles Of the race was run through the
streets of Yonkers at such a clip that
thirty of the fifty-seven contestants had
dropped out before the leaders turned
into the old Empire race track for the
final laps.
Cleary led the contestants in the race
and increased his speed, but the others in
the first bunch pulled up and soon passed
the Massachusetts man. Calvin and
Hatch fought bitterly for the lead for two
laps. Hatch finally took first place with
the Yonkers man still running gamely.
Conditions for the race were ideal.

With its rush line torn to shreds, its
offense stopped at every turn, outplayed,
humbIed, and battered to a pulp the
much heralded Lehigh football eleven
went down before Georgetown on the
Hilltop field yesterday afternoon, % to 3.
Only in the last five minutes OF play
did the Pennsylvanians show. anything
better than schoolboy football. Fresh
subs were sent in and the wearers OF the
Blue and Gray tired out by their own
exhausting efforts allowed the visitors
to get as far as their 15-yard line, where
Pazetti kicked goal from the field.
1t took Just four rushes after the ball
had been kicked of by Lehigh when the
opening whistle blew, for Georgetown to
get a touchdown. A series of delayed
passes and mystlfying split plays, fol-
lowed and before the first half closed
the Hilltoppers had rolled up % points,
four touchdowns and two goals.
Lehigh's Defense Stifrens.
Although Lehigh's goal line was threat
ened several times during the third quar-
ter, the visitors managed to keep their
slate clean. In the final chapter George
town added~b more points and then
slowed up a bit, giving the Pennsyl-
vanians a chance to slip over a goal from
the field.
1t was the last game for Capt. Daley.
Cunniff, Wymard, Sitterding and Coach
Nielsen, and the players threw them
selves into the fray with reckless aban-
don. Nielsen forgot to look worried and
actually smiled. Altogether a pleasant
afternoon was spent.
The crowd, numbering 1000, enjoyed the
spectacle. Most of US like action. At q
baseball game home runs and three
baggers are music to the ears; in foot
ball touchdowns, long runs, and forward
passes have the same effect-and there
was plenty Of action on the Hilltop yes
terday.
Instead of being on their feed and a
trife overturned, as was the case last
year when the Hilltoppers FLASHED with
Lehigh, the local collegians played 3 per
cent better football than against Virginia
two weeks ago. The line and backs
charged quicker: the interference was

hard to break up. The blocking was su-

reached its very best form and was a

manner to give the Hilltoppers a repre-
sentative eleven.

whirlwind offense. They simply refused
to be stopped. Quarter Back Stterding
used skilfull Judgment in directing his
plays, mixing up line plunges with for
ward passes, and for the first time this
season Georgetown displayed class in
handling the long fling. Big Wayne Hart
was usually the recipient OF the ball, and
was always in the right spot at the
right time.
Hart and wymard were the towers OF
strength in the line. Harris playing was
on a par with his usual brilliant work.
He was through the line like fash, and

game progressed, 1t became apparent that
Georgetown was Just about twice as good
as anybody in Washington realized.

after the battle That's the best foot
ball team Georgetown ever turned out"
And the big fellow was pretty nearly
right. II a more evenly balanced eleven
ever represented the Hilltop, 1t is beyond
the memory Of the oldest inhabitant.
Tom Thorpe the former Columbia play
er, who acted as field Judge yesterday,
remarked that II Princeton had been able
to show such an offense as Georgetown
yesterday. the Tigers would have rolled
up twenty or more points on both Har-
ward and Yale.
The 1911 season, which closed with yes
terday's game, will go down in George
town history as the best on record. Only
the Indians have beaten and crossed the
Blue and Gray goal line this year.
