party, my fellow citizens, is the only
party whose life has persisted and whose
vigor has continued throughout all the
history of this nation. and that has not
happened by accident. 1t has happened
because it IS the only party, I venture to
say, all of whose life has been govern
ed, or. at any rate. inspired. by def
mite principle-an absolute belief in the
control of the people. their right to con-
troll, their capacity to control, their own
affairs and shape them in the common
interest.
THE democratic party has committed
many errors. the democratic party has
made some fatal mistakes of action but
the reason 1t has lived. the reason it is
the only party that has apparent immor-
ta1tfy in our politics, is that 1t is the
only party that has consistently based
its beliefs upon the things and the con-
victions that underly all American his

the people by themselves and their own
representatives
Witnessed Death of Two Parties.
1T has witnessed the life and death
Of two great parties. and unless I am
very much mistaken it will witness the
early disappearance of another. It wit
messed the life. decadence and disappear
ance of the federalist party. 1t witnessed
the life, the increase. the demoraliza ton.
the decline and the disappearance of the
whig party.
rAnd then there appeared upon the
scene the republican party. first Of all
organized for a great and definite pur-
pose, to prevent the spread of the insti-
tuition of slavery into the free portions
of the United States. That object they
greatly accomplished. And then there
seemed to descend upon them the spirit
Of the federalist and the whig parties,
and ever since then the increasing demor-
alization Of that party has been evil
dent.
What was the spirit of those parties
The spirit of those parties was one
of limited control of the affairs Of
the nation by those who had the big
gest material stake in the prosperity
of the country. Some of them pro-
fessed this very openly and some of
them practiced 1t without processing &
it The theory of Alexander Hamilton.
Vino founded the federalist party, was
that the best kind Of government is
government by guardians and trustees,
and that only those who represented
the great material enterprises of the
country are capable OF acting as
trustees and guardians. So that
throughout the period when the fed
eralist party was in control the whole
idea was that a small group of care

CRAZY MAN IN ASYLUM

Illegally Held, Department of Justice

Ernest Angelini, an italian who IL
held without warrant of law in the
criminal ward of st. Elizabeth Hos
pital, is causing Department of Justice
and District officials considerable con-
Germ.
The federal authorities frankly admit
they do not know what disposition to
make of the case. Local officials say
they will not agree to Angelinfs re-
lease in order that he may be arrest
cd and recommitted as a charge OF the

The case had it's origin in Wisconsin,
from which state AngeIini was sem

using the mails to defraud. Shortly be-

to Washington last February and

There has been correspondence in re-
gard to the matter between officials Of
the department and the District corpo-
ration counsers office. Representatives
of the local department last night stat
ed they believed the federal govern
ment would find a way to return An
gelini to Wisconsin.
If he should be liberated here, they
pointed out, it would be necessary for
the District to cause his arrest and re-
commit him, but not maintain him at
the hospital, inasmuch as he Is not q
resident of the District. In this event,
1t was stated, the District, Immediately
after the recommitment of the patient,
would begin proceedings to turn An
gelini over to the Wisconsin author

There was universal hostility among
the bankers Of this country. not unant-
nous. but universal, to tho adoption OF
the present system. and all OF that op-
position had its impulse from that CEN

going to happen which did happen
that they were going to lose their grip
on the Treasury Of the United States.

"Will Change Foreign Policy"

Unfortunately. however. ono thing
has become reasonably clear. my fell
low citizens, and 1t is a very serious
thing. indeed. One thing has become
evident, not because II was explicitly
stated for nothing has been explicitly
stated but because It is Enthusiastically
implicit in almost everything that has
been said. Am I not right that we
must draw the conclusion that II the
republican party is put into power at
the next election our foreign policy will
be radically changed? ] cannot draw
any other Inference. All our present
foreign policy is wrong, they say. and
IL it is wrong and they are mon Of
conscience they must change 1t. and.
II they are going to change It, In what
direction are they going to change It?
There Is only ono choice as against
peace. and that 10 war. Some Of the
supporters Of that party. . very great
body OF the supporters OF that party,
outspokenly declare that they want
war, SO that the certain prospect of
the success Of the republican party IL
that we shall be drawn in one form or

The negroes arrived on the South
ern east bound train and wanted to
catch the Y. & M. v. train going

MR.. w. O. FURNACE DIES SUD-
DENLY AT BELZONI,

Sunday morning. Sept. 3rd, Mrs. M.
l.. Turnage received the sad news that
her husband, Mr.. W. o. Turnage, had
died suddenly at Belzoni. She, accom-
panied by Mrs. l.. T, McShane and
other friends, went Immediately by
auto to Belzoni, where she was met by
members of her family and friends
from Yazoo City, who had arrived at
an earlier hour.
Mr.. Turnage had been on a visit to
relatives in Tennessee, and OF his way
home, stopped at B%elzoni, where he had
formerly resided, for a brief visit with
friends, and to attend the services at
the Methodist Church, of which he was
a MEMBER
During the Sunday School hour he
was called upon to lead in prayer,
which he conducted with the Lords
prayer, and with his lips still trembling
with these divine words, he remarked,
my time has come" and peacefully
expired before a physician could be
summoned.
While in apparent good health, Mr..
Turnage had been a victim of Bright's
disease for several years, suffering q
stroke of paralysis about four years
ago, which rendered him unable to pur-
sue his profession of civil engineer.
Since that time he has made his home
with his wife's mother, Mrs. M. A..
Kinkead, at P-Line plantation, Yazoo
County.
MI. Turnage wa we'll known here,
where he visited frequently. He was
a native of Tennessee, q member Of
one of the oldest fomilies in the State.
Was a man of high education, culture
and refinement, and in the highest
sense, of the words a Christian gentle
man.
;. The remains, accompanied by his
wife, relatives and a large number of
friends, were carried to Yazoo City
Sunday night. Monday afternoon at
) o'clock, the solemn and impressive fun
eral obseqaies were held at the Meth.
odist Church, conducted by the Rev. T,
e M. Brownlee of Belzoni, who paid
: deserved tribute to the deceased. Mr.
: Norquist, with tender meaning, SAM
t the favorite hymn of the dead, Fac
to Face" A large concourse of friend
: were present to pay their last tribut,
j of respect.
The body was laid to rest in tn
= Yazoo City cemetery. The floral OF
:. ferings were unusually beautiful. al
testing silent sympathy and esteem.
The following were pail bearers:
