THE TURNER ART ExHIBIr.

The teachers Of the public schools
feel grateful to the citizens and
friends for the assistance they rem
dered in making The Turner Art Ex-
hibit a success. The exhibit gave
the children Of Nashville a chance
to see the reproductions of some of
the greatest pictures in the world.
All of the children have read Of Rosa
Bonhuer, 1.-THE Little French Girl"
but few of them had seen the Horse
Fair" "The Oxen Flowing" "Shep-
herd and Flock" 1.-THE Angelus and
The Cleaners" painted by Millet the
artist, who told his father that when
he was grown he meant to make pic
lures of men, and on reaching man.
hood he followed out his early ideas
in a manner unapproached by other
artists; for he painted men and
women under the burden of heavy
toil-painted them not as individuals,
but rather as types of the soil, and
through all of his work we hear the
'cry of the earth"
Christ and the Doctors" by Hof-
man, ranks as a masterpiece of
modern art. Lanseer, THE Dog
Boys" pictures were much admired.
Washington at Dorchester Heights"
by Stuart. This artist goes down in
history as being one of the greatest
portrait painters that ever lived,
having no equal in America. "Mona
Lisa" by Vinci, was exhibited. This
beautiful picture was stolen last
year, and is said to be somewhere In
America. "Delphic Sibyl" and Prohp-
ct jeremiah" by Michelangelo, were
the only pictures in Fresco painting.
Michelangelo was one of the great
est masters the world has ever
known, whether considered as a
painter, a sculptor or an architect.
The last but by no means the least
of these wonderful pictures comes
"Sistine Madonna" by Raphael. This
great masterpiece represents a vi
sion showing the Virgin and her
child standing on the clouds and
surrounded by angels.

On last Friday night Melusina, a
cantata which was the production of
Hoffman, was rendered to the delight
Of large audience which gathered
at the Meharry Auditorium for the oc-
casion. Music by the choral society,

Braden, dean of the music department
of Walden University, was the fea-
ture. Hardly an entertainment in the
city of a musical nature has been able
to equal the rendition of this fete OF

tets and the solos showed great prep
aration of the skilled instructions.

Pooling All the People

The Master Demagogue Is still hopefully pursuing third term, and if he should succeed the famous saying of Lincoln concerning the fooling of the people will have been temporarily undermined, to say the least.
 While he is appealing to the dis contented who are oppressed by the high cost of living, he is appealing for a gigantic campaign fund from two sources. By saying nothing about the tariff he expects the tariff bene- ficiaries to roll up a vast slush fund, and he expects to secure another from the trusts through his advocacy of an underlined socialistic scheme that will save the trusts from prosecution and their watered stocks from depletion. His scheme of federal incorporation and regulation has never been defined, and will never in all probability be- come law, but 1t will have served the purposes of it's projector if it results in a gigantic campaign fund and in the subsequent protection of the trusts.
 Can a man who is depending upon a corruption fund from, the tariff bene- ficiaries deceive the rank and file in the contested states? This seems in credible, and if it takes place it should be authoritatively declared that Lincoln's saying has in these lat ter days been set aside and almost repealed.

Hydro Electricity in the South


 The harnessing of southern rivers has fairly been begun, and it will go on until the flow seaward of those rivers is utilized. It is said companies have been organized-up north-to develop 1,500,000 horse power in the rivers of Georgia and Alabama, chief ly in Alabama. The development else where in the country already aggre- gates 2,500,000 horse power, and the work in Alabama and Georgia will carry the grand total up to almost inconceivable figures.
 The city of Buffalo is an illustra- tion of what this means-a city of about 100000 people we'll supplied with factories. It draws from Mi agara Falls, twenty miles away, 75,000 horse power of electrical energy, and this drives its factories, lights it's streets at night, and propels it's street cars over 375 miles of track. Judging by what is done in Buffalo, there will soon be enough electrical power in Alabama and Georgia to do all needful energizing in at least one hundred cities.
 The value of water power is not at present appreciated in the south, but it will be. Every $50 pounds of water that is arrested and permitted to fall one foot in one second produces cleo trical energy that will raise $50 pounds one foot in one second. That is what the generation of electricity by water power is and means, and the electrical energy produced can be carried without material loss consid- erable distances.
 The south may sell it's water powers for a song, but they will be utilized, and their development will promote the general development of this sec- tion. This development is coming, and it is coming quickly.

An Age Limit for Bishops

The general conference of the Northern Methodist church recently provided for the automatic retirement of bishop at the general conference nearest his 73d birthday. Instead of a painful contest concerning a lead CTS effectiveness and vigor, cftea- times opposed by the leader himself, all bishops are to be retired at the age of 73, which is regarded as the average limit of safety.
 When it is remembered that a bishop cannot conserve his strength at home, this limit does not see,a a bit unreasonable. A man who has passed his 73d year is not we'll adapted to the hardships of long journeys even by rail. All long jour- neys are tiresome. A bishop who has served his church and the people up to 73 is certainly entitled to a rest at home.
 A similar rule in the M. E. church south would not be out of place. The question of usefulness and strength should not become individual. An au- tomatic rule is much better.

The cost of Inattention to Laws

James McCrea, president of the Penn sylvania Railroad company, in a magazine article recently, on the subject of tres passing, had this to say:
 'It is horrible to me to think or tho number of trespassers that are killed or injured on the lines of the railroads, simply because they pay no attention to the laws on the subject. On the Penn sylvania system alone in the last 10 years there were 852s trespassers killed and S2S5 injured.
 "The danger to the public due to the custom of carrying concealed explosives on passenger trains and trolley cars is aIso very great. To what extent this prac- tice is indulged in, of course, we cannot tell, but we know that 1t is done much more than is realized by the public. This Is particularly true as to foreigners en- gagged in mining operations of various kinds"
 MT. McCrea said attention should be called to the danger of allowing children to walk on railroad rights of way. He also pointed out the need for explaining the law and regulations in reference to carry ing explosives on passenger trains and trolley cars or placing them in trunks or hand bags.

NAMES OF ENGLISH INNS

From the Westminster Gazette.
 Many explanations have been given of curious signboards for inns. The Goat and Compasses is supposed to be corruption of a motto set up over inns during the Puritan period, "Good encompasses us;" Bag of Nails of "Bacchanals." Why Not and Dew Drop inn are described as invi- tations to the wayfarer; Bird in Hand and Last House, or Final. suggestions that he should not waste his opportuni- ties to imbibe
 The Bull and Mouth is said to be cor ruption of Boulogne Mouth, captured by Henry VIII. Bull and Gate. 1t is sug- gested may possibly be similar vulgar ism for Boulogne Gate. Great battles fought and fortresses taken are commem- orated by Gibraltar Waterloo, Battle of the Nile, and Trafalgar, Admirals range from Blake to Napier. Generals from Marlborough to Wolseley-W Wellington, Nelson and Keppel being most common It is surprising how many of the Nelson inns are buildings three or four centuries old showing that the innkeeper was pre- pared to sacrifice the sign under which he had hitherto done business and trusted to make new repuhero."

The Republican Split

"No matter what the Chicago convention does this month. the republican party will be in worse shape than 1t has ever been," said F. T. Atherton of the convention city.
 q think Roosevelt will be nominated. If he is many thousands of republicans will refuse to vote for him. I am one of those independent republicans who will not vote for a third termer. Would Roose- welt. if nominated, be elected? That is hard to say. Unless the democrats do their best in the way of ticket Roose- welt would win at the polls in spite of much defection in the republican party. The sensible thing for the republicans to do under the circumstances would be to nominate Justice Hughes or some other strong man of his type who would be sure to carry New York. I do not be- lieve that either Taft or Roosevelt could carry New York against a strong demo- crat, but in politics one never can tell that is I cannot tell; but I am only one of the rank In file; am not politician in any sense of the term.
 q have been a voter for 20 years and what has surprised me recently is to find so many men, especially young men, who say they believe in a third term Presi- dent A man who talks that way has certainly none of the old time sentiment of patriotism. Principles and the unwrit- ten law of our American institutions in- fuenced the masses in times past. A large percentage of the voters today, it seems, have little reverence for tradition or es- tablished precedent"

LIFE

By Richard Henry Wilde.
 My life Is like the summer rose,
 That opens to the morning sky, But, ere the shades of evening close.
 Is scattered on the ground to die! Yet on the roses humble bed The sweetest dews of night are shed. As if she wept the waste to see But none shall weep tear for mel My life is like the autumn leaf
 That trembles in the moons pale ray; Its hold Is frail--its date is brief.
 Restless, and soon to pass awayl Yet, ere that leaf shall fall and fade. The parent tree will mourn it's shade, The winds bewail the leafless tree But none shall breathe sigh for mel My life is like the prints which feet
 Have left on Tampa's desert strandi Soon as the rising tide shall beat,
 All trace will vanish from the sand; Yet, as if grieving to efface All vestige of the human race. On that lone shore loud moans the sea- But none. alas. shall mourn for mel

BONNOT THE ANATOLIAN
From Chronicle and Comment in the June
 n

From Chronlcle ana comment III lie JuHe
 Bookman.
 There is no escaping dangerous Ideas, and the stage Is as safe a place as any for them. There is better reason for po- licing literature. MT. Chesterton, in one of his books sketched a plan for check ing dangerous ideas at their source by the organization of an intellectual police force. trained in literary criticism, who would detect the noxious tendency of any novel, poem, essay or treatise and place its author under arrest. If at the bottom of some magazine love poem. for example. there lurked' the seeds of bigamy, arrest the poet and suppress his work imme- diately, instead of waiting for the blga- mics to begin. It does not seem unreason- able, if society Is at all consistent fin its self-protection. Only the other day Bon not, the great French criminal, the fero- cious anarchist and 'tiger-bandit' and leader of the tragic band" was shot to death after holding at bay an army of police and soldiers and after his last place of refuge had been blown up. And what was the malignant source of his distorted views of society? Why. the writings of that estimable, mild-mannered and schoi- arly person, M. Anatole France Bonnot was an Anatollan-member of that cul- tivated, spectacled, gently garrulous cult to whom intellectual revolt is merely a speculative luxury But for Anatole France there might have been no Bonnot, and 1t would seem only reasonable pre- caution from the point of view of social safety if the police and military had been called out years ago to surround and blow up Anatole France and so prevent long string of murders. But society is never reasonable on the subject of dangerous ideas. For so good writer as Anatole France it gladly runs the risk of many Bonnots. Society has not forgotten it's greater distress when dangerous ideas were carefully repressed. It has suffered too much from it's self-appointed protec- tors, especially as regards the stage. Ma poleon once vowed that if Moliere had produced Tartuffe in his day he would have suppressed it. Its ideas were so sub- versive of society.

Regarding Christian Unity

'"The Christian unity movement inaugu- rated at the last triennial Episcopal gen. eral convention, which met in Cincinnati, is making more progress than I imagined it would," said an old layman. Those who were active in advocacy of the move ment felt that in order for the different churches of Christendom to get together on a working basis, a long campaign of education would be necessary. The com mission of the Anglican communion in this country has given the matter earnest attention, and as a result of its labors aa important preliminary conference will be held at Lambeth palace, London. the official residence of the archbishop of Cam ter bury, the ecclesiastical head of the Church of England.
 An important step in unity among the Protestant branches of Christendom will be the merging of some of the separated bodies of the large denominations. such as the north and south Methodists and the northern and southern Presbyterians. The Methodists of this country are considering organic union. and so. too. are the Presby- terians.
 "All Christian denominations have many doctrines in common. There is talk of holding a large unity conference In New York next fall. It is proposed-first, to bring together representatives of the diff ferent communions in friendly conferen z; second. to make the conference of uni- versal scope; third, to agree on state ment of what is fundamentally neces- sary in each denominationa system of doctrine and dogma; fourth, out of the un- iversally accepted fundamentals of faith to evolve a basis upon which an undi- vided church may be built.
 Tt is said that representatives of lvu.W
