GAYNOR'S DEATH.

New York State politics was
thrown into a Juror of excite
ment last Thursday by the an
nouncement of the sudden death
of Mayor Gaynor, who expired
suddenly while at sea. The
Mayor was enroute to Europe
for a brief rest. 1t is said that
Tammany was depending in a
large measure upon Gaynor for
the election of their candidate,
former Public Service Commits
sioner, Mccall, as Mayor in the
coming election. Common re-
port has it that Tammany had
promised Gaynor his former
place as Justice of the New
York Supreme Court in return
for his help in electing Mccall.

Purroy Mitchell, the fusion can
didate, will be elected Mayor,
and Tammany Hall will have

years.

The basis of the French system
is the School of Roads and Bridp-

schools in the world, maintained
at the expense of the national

From the graduates of this
school are chosen the highway

for which the general govern

which are invariably maintained
by the local governments.
The vincinal roads are sub

Miners Day.

Knoxville. Tenn. Sept. 18th.
Every arrangement for the big
miners field day on Saturday,
September 20, at the National
Conservation Exposition has
been completed and there is
every indication that the crowd
on that day will be one of the
targets of any of the big ex-
position days. William B. Wilson.
Secretary of Labor in the cabinet
of President Woodrow Wilson,
and Miss Mabel Boardman, presi-
dent of the American Red Cross
Society, will be the honored
guests on the occasion. Twenty
five thousand miners and the
members of their families are
expected to be in Knoxville for
the day. They will come from
all parts of the South.
The program as arranged starts
the fun at 1 o'clock in the after
noon with a review of the con-
testing mining teams by Secre-
tary Wilson, Miss Boardman,
President Wright of the EXPOSE
ton and members of the excut-
i've committee. At 1 80 o'clock
the first aid contest open to
teams in the Southern Appala-
chan states will begin. These
contests will be spectacular and
interesting. All of the twenty
three teams entered have been
trained for this event by experts
from the United States Bureau
of Mines and will work under
the strictest of rules.
During the afternoon there
will be a demonstration of the
effect of carbon monoxide gas

JEROME AND THAW.

The conduct of the Canadian
authorities in forcibly ejecting
Harry K. Thaw from the Dom
inion is being severely condemn
ed by the British authorities and
populace. He was taken by
several Dominion police last
week and thrust into New Hamp-
shire against the promise of the
officials of Coaticook, where he
was being held pending an in
vestigation. AS soon as his pre-
sence in New Hampshire became
known he was Immediately taken
into custody by the authorities
and detained in a hotel. VIM. T.
Jerome, his erstwhile prosecutor
in his many trials growing out
of the killing of Stamford White,
has bounded him in his every
step to gain liberty and is using
his every effort to have him re-
turned to the asylum for the
criminal insane at Mattewan.
Thaw, alto a rich young man,
who has wasted his substance in
riotous living, is gradually gain
ing the sympathy of the people,
a majority of whom think he is
sane and should be given his
liberty.
If the people of New York
State were given the alternative
Of Thaw or Jerome the chances
are they would take Thaw and
turn Jerome over to the asylum
authorities.

Mayor GaynOr's Death.

Events follow each other
rapidly in New York. Now
comes sudden news of the death
of Mayor Gaynor on a steamship
in mid ocean, seeking rest.
He was man of stormy career,
a born and habitual warrior, and
it is easy to understand that al
the age of siXty-two he felt the
need of rest and that the final
repose and peaceful sleep of
death would not have been an
unwelcome prospect if he had
forseen it.
1t is a coincidence that Mayor
Gaynor's death comes within
three days of the disappearance
of big Tim" Sullivan. Except
ing Charles F. Murphy, himself,
these two lost men have been
the most conspicuous figures in
New York city politics. Mayor
Gaynor was honest, patriotic,
well meaning and courageous.
Perhaps it was not his fault
that his judgment was not well
balanced and that he has an in
durable besetment to play for
the galleries and to listen for the
responding laughter and ap-
plause. He liked to write and
say bright and peculiar things,
to coin phrases, to take unexpet-
cted positions. Yet he had a
fiery temper which sometimes
he allowed to carry him into very
gross indiscretions. His con-
troversy with the Hearst news
papers was not only undignified
but became indecent, more like
an exchange of ribaldry between
two irresponsible crossroads
newspapers than a discussion
between the mayor of the
country's most important city
and metropolitan editors. 1t can
be said of Mr.. Gaynor that his
faults were on the surface, those
OF the tongue and the moment;
while his virtues and merits
were part of him, born in him,
carried with him trough his life,
lntrinsicelements of his charac-
ter. He was a sturdy, strong
fearless and able man of irascible
temperament, permitting his i'm
pulses to run far ahead of his
thoughts.
His death will complicate a
local POLITICAL situation. Before
he left, the indications were
strong that. although a candid
ate for mayor by petition with
out party allegiance or obligation
ne would be endorsed by Tam
many. Now Tammany, the most
thoroughly organized and power

Sees Danger in Woman Suffrage.

In an address at Lynchburg,
Va, Congressman j. Il. Hefin,
of Alabama, paid his respects TO
the question of woman suffrage
as given below:
"This woman suffrage move
ment is the greatest peril now
threatening the English-speak-
ing people. In the name of the
American home, in the name of
our beloved institutions, in the
name of generations yet unborn,
aye, in the name of the gentle
home-loving woman Of America,
| call upon you to fight this
dangerous deadly movement and
to save the life of this nation
from the dangers that threaten
it.
at is neither proper or neces-
sary that woman should vote.
The eXigencies of the occasion
do not authorize or demand it.
A woman surffagist said: 81 am
fighting for my emancipation. "
The emancipation she is seeking
is emancipation from the plans
of nature and the laws of God.
The family is the social unit, the
harmonious whole with one head,
not two heads. "
Congratulating Virginians on
the fact that woman suffrage
did not exist +" in the home of
Washington and Jefferson" Mr..
Heflin declared his belief that
1.-The woman suffrage movement
is not conducive to the charm
ard gentless of the highest
! womanhood, that it does not in
spire and encourage the ideals
of the Christian religion nor
make for modesty and refine
ment." He portrayed the mother
service as the highest and no
blest mission in the world and
said that to train the voter was
more important than to vote.
Il stand" he said, with I'M
covered head at the shrine OF
gentle, modest womanhood. The
mother contributes sons and
daughters to the commonwealth
and the country. Her sons carry
on civil government in peace and
light for its preservation in time
of war. Her daughters keep the
fires of maternal love forever
burning. They are the golden
links in the endless chain of the
Almighty's plan to people the
earth with beings from God
which His image blesses. 1t is
as true as Holy Writ that 1.-The
hand that rocks the cradle rules
the world"
Mr.. Helm closed by reading
excerpts from statements against
suffrage made by some of the
women in suffrage States. Gate
