have declined to follow their lead
ers in the harmony pact recently
formed at Nashville. Both of
these gentlemen in the not recent
past got the hot end of the poker
in the pursuit of their several am
bitlons. JEFF, after a parti colored
career as attorney general of the
Nashville district, asked that peo-
pie for their opinion rs to his fit
ness for criminal Judge. That
opinion was adverse and so en-
phahc that it gave jeff the JIM

he said:
1t seems from a publication in the

Democrat makes certain claims as to
what Mr.. Lea agreed to, which are de-
cidedlY opposed to what Mr.. Lea stated
to the Barton Committee. as the agree
ment. Besides when Mr.. Lea was be-
fore the Barton Committee, one of my
objections TO his proposed settlement of
differences, though not the main one,
was that the agreement had not been
committed to writing. Mr.. Lea, in or
der TO get the committee to adopt his
proposed plan by vote Of 4 to 3 of
members actually present, and by a
vote of 9 to E of members and proxies
present, promised the committee that
before this plan should become effect
i've, that he would personally see to il
that the plan was properly written Out
and re-Submitted TO the whole commit
tee for ratification. This has not been
done.
I ask the press Of the state, and in
dividuals TO suspend their endorsement
of plan, which even the members Of
the committee present did not under
stand, for the reasons above stated.

MAKING THE CITY BEAUTIFUL
Some New Ideas That Have Been
Adopted by the Municipalities
.s Of Europe.

European cities are disearding the

the hundred, laid out diagonal avenues
between important points and con
structed engirdling bouleyards The
sum Of s240.000,00 was spent In thia
work. and last year 1t was decided to
devote s175. 100000 more thereto.
London has done similar but
smaller work 10 Kings-Way. The
German cities are following neither
the checkerboard nor the radial ave-
nue., ring boulevard plan. Their new
streets wind perceptibly 30 as TO open
fresh vistas and permit of collateral
effects Of parking and statuary.
Instead Of locating their public
buildings at random, the capitals OF
Europe arrange them with relation TO
each other and to some park, open
space or boulevard, so that they con-
tribute to one central effect. The nm
est is the Ringstrasse Of Vienne. and
other notable examples are Berlin's
Inter den Linden and Lustgarten,
Moscow's Kremlin, Dresden's Twin
ger, the Louvre region of Paris and
the Grande Place of Brussels.
In Dresden citizens have undertake

ant to decorate yards, buildings and
easements with plants, vines, shrubs
and window boxes The authorities
have co-operated by decorating mum
cipal buildings, and at a small expen

has been transformed.

AID IN STUDY OF BOTANY

Enlistment Of Special Garden
for the Purpose.

The especial necessity of a botan-
zeal garden must appeal to US all.
Every one having a 80 or 1OO-foot lot,
who is trying to establish a beautiful
home among US, must have wished at
some time to make this home attrac-
tive by planting choice trees and
shrubs about it, and would like the
plants to be little different, perhaps
more beautiful, than the common ones
to be seen around him. Not, however,
having seen more than an occasional
tree in a neighbours garden that he
particularly fancies, and having no
means of learning the correct name.
he must be content with what the
nurseryman chooses to offer him, and
If It should be some new and rare
variety, he is ignorant as to what size
1t win attain, whether he will like the
flowers, what space 1t will require to
fully develop its individual beauty,
and under what conditions 1t will
flourish.
All these questions would be an
swered by visit to botanical gar
den, which would be a botanical die
tionary with the most exquisite and
truthful colored plates, colored by the
hand of nature. A lettered board
would give the name, family, species
and native home. We would learn
how very few of the thousands OF
beautiful things we here enjoys-Los
