SUNSET IN DIXIE.

How bright the sunset gloWs in wonder sky, As on a painted fan of ribbed fire; Or, as Aurora in the dewy morn, Ere her first brightness doth expire, While wonder fieecy cloud, just tinged with pink, And shading outward into purest gold, Seems dumbly trying, lest our spirits sink, To thus remind us of the ad- age old; And there a piece of calm, ethe- real blue, Cleans softly, mid the myri- ad colors bright, With here and there a star, just showing through, Like lamps, by angels lighted, for the night.

It would seem that my friend Heath has gone into the fight without the kind of ammunition that is recognized, and of service to one in the fighting phalanxes" of the Democratic party. l came into the Pulaski County Courthouse on the first day of No vember, 1904. You will note that Tor ten years previous to this date 1 had paid my poll tax. I have never made any bombastic claims about my De- mocracy ana certainly with the above record you will believe that l was a worker in the party long before any dreams of office entered my mind. My record for efficiency is known to you. Just take me as 1 am, and as you have found me, and 1 believe you will place the stamp of approval not only on my actions as an officer, but upon my record as a poll tax payer.
 Respectfully,
 HERBERT s. TURNER.

Stripped to the bare facts Che most Of the unknown won- ders become very commonplace. but as new kinds of sea animals are still being discovered, the Smithsonian of. acias are alert to see that no yaiuo- hlc specimens are lost to the wonder fuI collection now In their possession.
 Sea monsters and sea serpents often are reporter As thore are vast eN- panses and depths of sea still unex- plored the scientists to not presume lo loo certain that there are not un- known sea monsters in existence. A shark forty feet long was harpooned off Miama, Fla, in 1912 This great fish was heralded far and wide as an unknown dcnizen of the deep. An investigation on the part of the Smlth- sonian Institution developed the fact that it was shark known ScieHtifi- cany as the Rhnodon Iypicos. lt was lhe first bis fish Of the species ever caught along the Florida coast 80 the local excitement was very natural in the Indian ocenn this sort of shark is common.

ROOSEVELT STYLES
 WILSON COWARD

Writing in the current Issue of the independent former President Theo' dore Roosevelt asserts that che atti- tude oi the administration toward the war In Europe Is the "cult of coward- Ice"
 In part he says;
 ITO violate these conventions. to violate neutrality treaties, ss Germany has done in the case of Belgium is dreadful thing. It represents the gravest kind Of international wrong doing but it IS really not quite so con temptlbles. it does not show go short sighted and timid inetaoiency and above all such selfish indifference to the cause Of permanent and right eous peace as has been shown by the United States ,thanks to President Wilson and Secretary Bryan) in re- lrs.ae Co fuldll ts solemn obligations by taking whatever action was neces. sary In order to clear our skirts from the guilt Of tame acQuiescence In a wrong which we had solemuiy under saken 10 oppose.
 "ii had for one moment supposed that signing those Hague conventions meant literally nothing whatever be- yond the expression Of pious wish which any power was at liberty to dis. regard with impunity, In accordance with the dictaton of sellInteresti ! would certainly not have permitted .he United States to be a party to such mischieyous farce. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan how- ever, take the view that when the United States assumes obligations in order Go secure small and unonendiag neutral nations against hldeous wrong lls action ls not predicated on any intention to make the guarantee ef. fective.
 "They take the view that when we are asked to redeem in the concrete promises we made in the abstract our duty is to disregard our obligations and to preserve ignoble peace for our. selves by regarding with cold-blooded and timid indifference the most tright fui rayages of war committed at Che expense of a peaceful and uno6ending country This is the cult of coward. ice. That President Wilson and Mr. Bryan profess it and put it in action would lee of small conseQuence if only they themselves were concerned. The importance of their action Is that it commits the United states
 Mir Roosevelt points only Co Ger many as the wrongdoer, whose acts warranted interference by the United States
