SENATOR BANkHEAD AT BALTi.
MORE

1t may not De generdIly KNOWN, Out
there is no question of a doubt in the
| mind of the writer but that Senator
Bankhead forced the nomination OF
| Woodrow Wilson at Baltimore.
The convention adjourned Saturday
night with Clark still IN the lead, but
with Wilson making steady inroads
upon his strength.
The politicians were busy all day
Sunday fixing the slate so that the
Princeton candidate would be SEIZED
uled for the same route as Champ
Clark, and when the convention ad-
iourned Monday night without max
ing a nomination, and with Wilson
less on the last ballot than on the
preceding one, there was general
| impression that he had lost out.
When the convention met on Tues
day there was a general understand
ing that three ballots would be taken,
and if they resulted in no nomination,
then New York, Ohio, Illinois and
other scattering delegations thta held
the balance of power were to 50 TO
Underwood, and it was believed that
it would insure his nomination, but
at the crucial moment those states
hesitated-they had dark horse
hid away in the thicket-they appeal
ed to Senator Bankhead 10 hold his
forces we'll together, promising that
they would go to him later.
But the rugged old senator was not
to be treated in any such manner; he
was determined that he would not be
taken for a soft thing" "Now or
never" he said, and without a mo-
ment's hesitation he mounted the plat
form and withdrew the name of Mr..
| Underwood as a candidate before the
convention.
His action put to flight the dark
horse" hid away in the thicket, threw
the convention into confusion and
forced the nomination of the governor
of New Jersey.
Had Senator Bankhead remained
firm and resolute the deadlock" may
have continued for ever so long q
time, and just what would have beer
the outcome is a question for specu
lation, but as soon as the Alabama
senator saw that the states named
were not true to their pledges ant
that the Underwood forces were be
ing used as football, his duty seem
ed clear, and without consulting Mr.
Underwood, he cut the Gordian kno
asunder, and brought about Govern
or Wilson's nomination in short or
der.

FALSE IMPRESSIONS OF PUBLIC
MEN

An impression is prevalent through
out the country that Colonel Roose-
welt is heavy drinker, and since his
discontinue at Chicago is becoming
more and more addicted to the cup.
This impression has grown so
strong that Rev. Lyman Abbott, edi-
tor of the Outlook, has felt impelled
to publish a letter giving a fiat denial
to the report.
Mr. Abbott says that Colonel Roose-
welt is not only not user of alcohol
ic beverages, but never tasted a
cocktail" in his life, and, indeed,
never touches whiskey in any form
That he is exemplary temperate in
his habits, and for luncheon his Gus
tomary drink is either milk or iced
tea.
Colonel Watterson's name is insep-
arably connected with mint beds,
and we remember how many of our
acuuaintances shook their heads in
doubt when we printed a statement
from him some months ago in which
he said that he had never tasted a
mint julep in his whole life
The flavor of the mint julep had
become so intimately interviewer in
the warp and wool of everything Wat
tersonian that his most esteemed adj
mirers could scarcely credit his pub
lished statement.
Speaking of Mr. Roosevelt, Mr.. Alb
bott says that any physician will say
that it is impossible for a man to
do the mental and physical work that
he is performing daily, and has per
formed for twenty-five years if his
brain were clouded and his body
weakened by the habitual use of al
cohol.
The same thing may be said of Col
onel Watterson. He is now an old
man, yet his activities are unslack-
ened, as they have not been since his
publication of the Chattanooga Rebel
which he was forced to print on
wheels, during the shifting scenes OF
our hot civil combat
Although living their lives steadily
in the limelight, how many of oul
public men have been thoroughly mis-
represented and misunderstood. How
many have escaped criticism and cen
sure?
| Jefferson had a whole army of de
| tractors always barking at his heels
People are willing to swear to thi:
good day that Washington's usua
drink was heaping tumbler full t.
| the very brim of 'moonshine" of hi!
own manufacture, without any admiX
ture of water.
We do not believe that any pure
man ever occupied the White HOUSE
than Andrew Johnson, yet he wa'
| falsely denounced as drunken
sot," and was literally bounded tt
death by as desperate pack of jack
ais as ever disgraced political party
A great many so-called good people
| lived and died under the belief tina
General Grant never drew a sobel
breath during his whole public ca
reer, and half the national today be
lieves that Jefferson Davis was cap
tured, disguised as a woman, arraye(
in his wife's hoops1irts.
An attempt is being made to shift
the sin of Lorimer on to Taft's shout
ders, and besides being accused O
being a hard drinker, Roosevelt is be
ing compelled to meet the charge o.
insanity-yet up to date We are pleas
ed to say that no grave nor grotesque
charges are laid at the door of Wood
row Wilson.

PRISON REoRM
Before the University of the South
the Warden of the Atlanta Federal
Prison Gives Progressive
Views on Penal Reform


In the course OF lectures of the Uni
versity of the South at Sewanee,
Tenn, Mr.. W. H. Meyer, warden of
the federal prison at Atlanta, gave
some very advanced views on prison
reform
The lecture is said to have been
unusually interesting. both from the
Isubject and from Mr. Meyers happy
faculty of putting his arguments and
statements so we'll His paper was
full and complete, and discussed pris-
on reform theoretically and statistic
ally
The first part Of his lecture was
given to the various theories and eff
forts for prison reform He sketched
the ideal prison as regards location,
sanitation and other physical fea-
lures. and he spoke at length on the
prisoner himself, the theory being
that he should be treated like a man.
After Slight depression on the sub
ject of crime. in which illiteracy was
mentioned as being one OF the chief
causes. he proceeded to Illustrate his
points and give more practical appli-
cation Of his ideas by telling just
what had been accomplished at the
Atlanta prison.
Following his idea that the base OF
prison reform was TO treat the prison
err as a man, he mentioned the various
attempts to bring about such treat
ment at the penitentiary He said
that one of the finest things in the
Atlanta institution was its library, in
which are some 5000 volumes. By the
card system in vogue, one can tell at
glance Just what articles a prisoner
is interested in or what he cares to
read about He gave some interesting
figures along this line. He also men
toned the school in connection with
the prison and gave the percentage OF
lilliteracy in confinement.
Mr.. Meyer told of the lifting of the
ban of silence at meal time in the
prison at Atlanta, how it went into
effect for the first time last Thanks
giving and how successfully it had
been carried out. He also told of the
| baseball league of the prisoners, and
of the hot contests between the rival
teams. He said they were allowed
all the privileges of outside teams
save that of mobbing the umpire, and
he commented on the fact that there
was no swearing nor cursing among
the players-a noteworthy fact. He
said these rules are easily carried
out and these liberties allowed be-
cause the slightest move toward in
fraction of any OF the rules means
the withdrawal of the privilege.
He spoke of the paper published in
the prison, Good Words, and read
two editorials from a recent issue.
| He described the prison band and its
playing during certain meals. All the
privileges, he said, were but a small
part of the great move toward prison
| reform which is sweeping over our
land He gave some model rules and
regulations for the prison, and said
that there should be no misunder-
standing of what a rule meant Alto
gether his lecture was much enjoyed.
This morning Mr.. Meyer led a gen
eral discussion on the subject of pris-
on reform for about an hour, during
which discussion many salient points
were brought out as regards crime
and prison conditions.

F. j Fearnside, the chairman of the
Florida state democratic committee,
was a popular member of the Florida
party at the convention. Mr. Fearn-
side is politician both by training
and preference, and he took the keen
est interest in every feature of the
convention proceedings. He proved
the champion prophet of the occasion,
too, for he announced to the delega-
ton Saturday that Wilson would be
nominated on the forty-fifth ballot.
The nomination was made Oh the for
ty-sixth, which shows how carefully
Fearnside had figured it all out. The
state chairman is also one of the
most devoted champions of Florida,
and never lets an opportunity pass to
say something for the state.-Tampa
