There is one thing 10 be said for the
average socialisl-he has no room in

The House by the
Side of the Road.
author UnknoWn.)

THERE are hermit souls that live with
drawn
In the peace of their self content;
There are souls, like stars, that dwell
apart,
In a fellowless firmament:
There are pioneer souls that blaze their
paths
Where highways never ran,-
But let me live by the side of the road
And be friend 10 man.
Let me live in house by the side OF
the road
Where the races of men go by
The men who are good, the men who
are bad,
AS good and as bad as !.
| would not sit in the scorner's seat,
Or hurl the cynic'S ban
Let me live in house by the side oil
the road
And be friend TO man.
see from my house by the side of the
road,
By the side OF the highway of life,
The men who press with the ardor OF
hope,
The men who are faint with the
strife.
But turn not away from their smiles
nor their tears,
Both parts of an infinite plan
Let me live in my house by the side OF
the road
And be friend TO man.
| know there are brook .gladdened
meadows ahead,
And mountains of wearSomc
height.
The road passes on through the long
afternoon
And stretches away 10 the night
But still rejoice when the travellers
rejoice,
And weep with the strangers that
moan,
Nor live in my house by the side of the
road
Like man who dwells alone.
Let me live in my house by the side
of the road
Where the races of men go by
They are good, they are bad, they are
weak, they are strong,
Wise, foolish so am |.
Then why should sit in the Scorner's
seat
Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me live in my house by the side of
the road
And be friend 10 man.

Now that the State Democratic Execu-
tive Committee has decided upon a
speaking campaign of the State it may
not be out of place TO suggest that the
speakers be selected with 4 view TO
their ability TO present Democratic
truths as they apply TO Florida and
other southern states. Chairman Fearn-
side is not an old man, but he can go
back TO the days when Florida was in
the political control of the Republican
party and when a large number of the
various county officials were Negroes.
He knows something of the struggle for
white supremacy, struggle in which
he played an important part in Madison
county; he has a vivid recollection of
what mixed Negro and white repubIi-
can rule meant. The Democratic party
in Florida stands for the rule of The
people-the white people-and its ban
ner is one under which any Self,reSpect-
ing white man can march with his
head erect. Not so with the local Re-
publican party or that new ism called
Socialism. The young men of Florida
need TO be told these facts. They need
TO be iterated and reiterated, ''leSt we
forget-lest we forget" They need TO
be told that the late State Republican
convention which met in this city in
February was presided over by a Negro
and that wo-thirds of its delegates were
Negroes. They need TO be told that
the Socialists also stand for the political
equality of the races; that the Demo
cratic party alone stands for a white
mans rule in Florida. Not that The
Democratic party is putting any Stumbl-
ing block or blocks in the way of the
free exercise of the franchise by the
Negro, but that il does interdict him
from participation in Democratic pri-
marieS by law. The Florida ballot is
an open one; it gives no favor TO one
party above another; it approaches
nearer ~ inc huSudlldu SyotSm ludn
that of any other state in the Federal
union. The Democratic party gave The
people this ballot. Its party organiza.
ton is limited in its participating mem
berShip TO people of Caucasian race and
the paramount plank in its platform is
white supremacy in Florida. We need
to keep this old and winning slogan in
the foreground OF our talks, and
at this time when the "other
are flirting for Negro support. |

Alderman Fail to Attend Joint Ses.
sion to Consider Royal
Street Franchise.

alexandra, Va, Aug. 13.-Twelve out
of the sixteen members Of the Common
Council were present tonight at an ad-
journed meeting of that body held Tor
the purpose of considering the franchise
for the lease of Royal Street to the
Washington Virginia Railway Company
for a period OF twenty Years. Common
Council invited the aldermen for joint
session. In the meantime other matters
were discussed and several members had
petitions they wanted brought up. Final
iy, Councilman BirreIl was dispatched to
see IL the aldermen were In session and
he returned and reported: Darkness
there and nothing more" The aldermen
did not. therefore, respond to the tnvi-
tation for joint session.
The ordinance for the lease was next
read whereupon Councilman Birrell
moved that the matter be laid over until
s o'clock tomorrow night in order that
all matters pending before council may
be taken up for consideration. BY vote
of eight to four this motion prevailed.
and council adjourned until that time.
In connection with the ordinance for
the lease of Royal street to the Wash
ington-Virginia Railway Company let
ter was read from F. H Treat, presi-
dent OF the Washington-Virginia Rail-
way Company. which was addressed to
G. l. Boothe, this city director of the
company. In the letter Mr.. Treat set
forth that he desired to confirm the
statement recently made to the Com
mon Council of this city by Mr.. Boothe
that the freight station OF the company.
located at Prince and Royal streets,
will be removed from that location not
later than January /, 1913. He added
in the letter that the removal will be
made just as soon as arrangements can
be made for its relocation. Mr.. Treat
further stated that the letter could be
considered in connection with the railway
company's bid for the franchise in South
Royal street.
When the meeting opened President
Smith explained that its purpose was TO
consider the franchise for the use OF
Royal street. Councilman Birrell, how
ever, stated that he would like to have
unanimous consent for the introduction
Of other business. He enumerated that
one was regarding the health conditions
Of the city, another regarding the erec-
ton of stables, and the third pertain
ing to the proposed improvements on
Washington street. Councilman Will
liams moved that the meeting be thrown
open for all business that might come
before council for its consideration. At
ter a short debate his motion was
adopted.
The first matter which then came be-
fore the Council was a petition Of prop
erty owners on the four squares about to
be improved or Washington Street. They
objected 10 reducing the roadway on that
thoroughfare to ffty-six feet, they IA
voring sixty feet instead.
. Councilman Birrell thought they should
be given some consideration inasmuch
SIS they proposed to pay for it.
