"A Queen Is Coming"

She was just an ordinary woman
without much leisure or time for
culture. She was the mother OF
three impetuous, aggressive boys,
to whom she gave, after the way OF
good mothers, not only a wealth OF
love, but richly of her labor with
her hands, and of the influence OF
her beautiful Christian character.
She did not know much about art or
architecture or literature, but for
the sake of her boys she learned.
She inspired them by her willing
ness TO learn all through her life
to learn not only how to cook grid
dle-cakes, but what the Greeks had
in mind when they built the Parthe-
non, what Tennyson intended TO
teach when he composed In Memo
RAM" and the meaning of Millet s
"Angelus.
When she died, to her funeral
came three famous men-one was an
architect o. church buildings; one
was a preacher of the Gospel; one
was an artist. The Recording An
gel said, as he made a new record
"A Queen is coming; get her throne
ready, and prepare three places,
too. for the men who are serving
their fellowmen and holding up high
ideals, to which ministry they were
inspired by Christian woman who
could think as well as work"

Williams and Hepburn Clash

After hearing an appeal by Sena-
tor John Sharp Williams, who now
occupies the seat in the upper House
formerly held by President Jeffer-
son Davis of the Confederacy, the
Senate Thursday afternoon voted,
81 to Is, to retain on it's pay rolls,
although he performs no service,
James Jones. Familiarity known as
Jim Jones'" the faithful colored
body servant of the head of the Con-
federate States of America.
During the discussion Senator
Hepburn referred to Jones service
for Jefferson Davis as an Infamous
record, and the remark brought G
sharp rebuke from Mr.. Williams.
"As the son of a man who gladly
gave his life to cause that he
thought was right" Senator Will
liams exclaimed, Il am not willing
to hear a civilized man in this
twentieth century call it an infamous
cause. But for the parliamentary
rules that restrain me I would have
o few words to say about the kind
of human being in whose heart
such thoughts can exist"
Intense interest prevailed in the
Senate during the cclloquy.

"Stonewall" Jackson's Religion

A magazine articles says: Religion
took possession of Jackson not sud
denly, but with a gradual fierce en-
croachment that in the end grasped
every fibre OF his being. Like a
very similar nature in a different
sphere, John Dome, he examined
all creeds first, notably the Catho-
lie, but finally settled in an austere
and sturdy Calvinism. Not that his
religion was gloomy or bitterly as
ceptic, for it had great depths OF
love in it and sunny possibilities OF
joy, but it was all absorbing and he
fought the fight Of the same fury
that he gave 10 the battles of this
world. There must be no weakness,
no trifling, no Inconsistency. He
weighed his lightest utterance in
the balance of.the sanctuary, writes
one who knew him well.
Christians are enjoined to pray.
therefore Jackson prayed always,
even in association with the lightest
act. Il never raise glass of water
to my lips without lifting my heart
to God in thanks and prayer for the
water of life." They must remember
the Sabbath day to keep Is holy,
therefore Jackson not only refrained
from writing letters on Sunday; he
would not read letter on Sunday;
he even timed the sending of his let
tiers so that they should not encum-
Der the mails on Sunday.

THE COMMONER NAMES
MANY RUNNING MATES
Mr.. Bryan's Available Candidates
For the Presidency

In last week issue of The Com
moner the Hon. William Jennings
Bryan suggested a number of avail
able candidates for the Democratic
nomination in 1912. Some of the
men have been in the public eye,
while others have not been thought
of at large. Among the forty names
mentioned appear Ex-Governor
Tyler of Virginia, and Senators
Chamberlain of Oregon, and Owen
of Oklahoma. M. Bryan says:
While the issues are not yet out
lined with sufficient clearness to
enable the Democratic party to
select it's national ticket with in
telligence, still, as the time is ap-
preaching when such selection must
be made, it will not hurt to discuss
some of the men who deserve to be
considered.
The Comnoner takes the liberty
Of mentioning a few tickets-presi-
dent and vice president. Its pur-
pose is, first. to show how many
big, strong, available Democrats we
have TO pick from, and, second, to
get the opinions Of its readers on
the tickets suggested.
The order in which these tickets
are named must net be taken as in
dicating Mr.. Bryan's preference.
He is not prepared to decide for
himself the question of relative avail
ability.
No one questions the availability
of Joseph w. Folk OF Missouri, Coy
ernOr Woodrow Wilson of New Jer-
sey, or Champ Clark, speaker OF the
House of Representatives. Aside
from these most prominently men,
toned there are many other avail
able men.

JOURNALISTIC FOLK

Notwithstanding the Declaration
BY Chicago Professor
TRUE TO THEIR HIGH TRUST

Special Interests"

Special interests"
Newspaper folk OF this State-in
fact of every State-ought to feel ex-
ceedingly grateful to DR.. George H
Denny. the president of Washing.
ton aud Lee University, for the
handsome things he said about the
journalistic profession in his speech
before the Virginia Press Associ-
alton at Natural Bridge Yesterday
And they ought also to extend a
vote of thanks to G. B. Cooke, the
president of this paper, for the fine
response he made.
DR.. Denny spoke Of the courage,
probity and sincerity Of purpose
which everywhere mark the efforts
OF newspaper men. Mr. Cooke.
taking his cue from the distinguish
ed educators remark ks, detailed the
difficulties that beset the path of
the newspaper makers of this
Common wealth. "
And apropOs of this he added:
The press of Virginia stands as
a bulwark of the Common wealth,
and upon us devolves the response
bility for public sentiment along
fair and proper lines in this day and
generation, when we hear so much
of the debauchery OF the press, and
undue influence by the whiskey ele-
ment, and being controlled by ma
chine politicians. 1t is a pleasure
for US to be assembled together and
feel that we are here enjoying our
selves with a clean conscience.
Il do not believe there is a man
or woman in this audience who is
now under the influence of the whis-
key element, or OF any ring or ma
chine, and l think it is an Insult to
the intelligence Of this body to in
sinuate that we have a single men,
Der whose editorial influence is for
sale at price"
In the same connection, Mr.. Cooke
took occasion to refute the popular
IDEA that the average newspaper is
controlled by some special interest.
and that its utterances fail in tree,
fair and honest expression, He
said, with unmistakable emphasis,
that the Virginia press is as honest
as any 'on the top side of the
globe"
DR.. Denny assuredly couched his
compliments in happy words-words
which naturally fell on the most ap-
preciative ears. Pleasant truths
cannot be repeated too often, and,
therefore, the Old Dominion editors
extracted much delight from his ut
terances.
Particularly were they gratifed
when he said:

County Division

A bill has been introduced in boib
houses Of the legislature for the crea.
ton Of the new county Of Holt. This
new comfy will be composed of six
townships Of northeastern Ell Paso
County and the L Of Ebert County.
Thus forming a nearly square county
with Ramnh in, or about the center.
Ramah is the proposed county seat OF
the new county.
This cuts off valueable section OF
Elbert County, section in which
much money has been spent for the
building Of bridges and the opening Of
new roads. Yet there seems to be
practically no opposition to the creation
Of the new county. The papers OF that
section have scarcely mentioned the fact
and the Elbert County papers have not
taken the matter up at all.
We understand that there is another
before the Legislature for the creation
of Deer Trail County, this also takes
off a strip Of Elbert County and the
east end Of Arapahoe county.
Should these bills both pass the legis-
laiure, Elbert County would be reduced
to about q of its present size and
the consequences might be more serious
than imagined. The Tribune fought II
hard battle for good sane county di-
vision bill two years ago, at its own ex-
pense and will not now undertake a
battle against division unless public
opinion demands it.
Those who howled themselves hoarse
and provoked SO much trouble in the
l. OF Elbert County now have ample
opportunity to get busy, do some
real work and show the citizens of Ell
bert County that they have the inter
ests Of the people at heart.

THE BRIDE.

The orange blossom crowns her,
The bridal satin gowns her,
The happy anthems ring;
Girlhoods gay reign is over,
She goes to meet her lover,
While Eden's voices sing.
The marriage vow is spoken,
The wedding bread is broken
With blessings and with tears;
These two set out together
Through storm and sunny weather,
To journey through the years.
Fate, send your choicest dover,
Great joy and plenty shower
From blue and kindly skies;
Earth's music and its laughter,
And gladness ever after,
And love that never dies!
So, life goes on forever,
Hands join, no more to sever,
The roses crown the June!
And down the. aisle a-swinging,
We hear the angels singing
A joyous hymnal tune.
