If we could find some way to re-
store the fine old home spirit Of the
past" This was said by Miss Mary
Bartelme in an interview printed in
a recent issue Of a Chicago paper,
and on which the Nashville Banner
had a fine editorial last Saturday.
Well, Miss Mary, unless we have a
nationwide plague, famine or some
cataclysm Of nature to make the
people forget money and start all
over again, it can't be did. You'd
as well try to get women to dress
senSibly and give up their determi-
nation to vote. You'd as we'll try
to establish in this country a STAN
dard Of virture to which both men
and women would have to come to
enjoy responsibility. You'd as
well try to combat race suicide and
cigarette smoking, as to seek to
find some way to restore the fine
old home spirit Of the past in this
country. even in the South and, by
the way, Miss Mary, what kind Of
woman are you, anyhow, that you
are talking about the resurrection
Of that fine old home spirit Of the
pastY" The progressive ones Of your
sex are not now bringing up such
subjects-not on your life, Miss
Mary. The Nashville Banner, in
concluding the editorial referred to-
said.
There are more elegant resi-
dences in these times than there
were in the old days, and apart
ments in which to sleep and abide

fence and comfort anything dream.

The Legislature of Tennessee af-
ter making a goat Of itself collect
lively, by accepting an invitation to
a banquet given in Nashville, Mon
day night, in honor of the return of
Bill Cummins from New York and
his release from the penitentiary,
tried to redeem itself Tuesday by
having expunged from the record all
notice of the event. If our solons
are not careful somebody is going
to recall in the Bill Cummins con-
nection that old saying "a fellow
feeling makes us wondrous kind"
To some people in Nashville the ex-
perience of Cummins in the N. Y.
pen seems to have given that finan-
cier an added distinction.

The very often poor and frequent
ly sadly neglected, almost boycotted
country" newspaper seems to be
about the only defender the home
merchant has against the mail or
der houses and the custom of run
ming to the cities for merchandise,
which can often be had at home
and can always be ordered through
local dealers II not kept in stock.
A recent issue Of the Mt. Pleasant
Record, an issue in which local adj
vertisers made a very poor show
Ing, with the exception of one full
page ad. of a special Honest lnjun"
sale, gave a column of reading mat
ter in the way Of an appeal from a
merchant to the ladies of that town.
We are willing to venture the as
sertion that the matter which was
Of vital interest and hoped for profit
to the merchant who wrote the ap-
peal in the Record, went in free
gratis for nothing" The local mer-
chants are certainly awakening to
the fact that the mail order bust
ness is taking out daily many dol
lars which ought to remain in the
communities where they are earn
ed. The newspapers saw the
menace before it came and now
that it Is here they are well aware
Of its magnitude hence their con-
slant and often unthanked appeals
to the people to keep their money
at home Ito give the home mer-
chants a chance at their business
We have, we are informed, men in
Lexington who almost publicly
boast that they never spend a dol,
lar in the town; and women who
are better acquainted with the cata-
logue of Rears g. Sobuck than they
are with the interior arrangement
ofany store in the town. While
we plead for the home merchant
even though he may be a non-ad-
vertiser, we insist that he must do
his part toward keeping trade from
going away to the cities. near and
far. He must keep the goods the
people want-for every person has
a right to get that for which they
can pay--and he must let his
profits remain within the range Of
reason, Sale prices today which
show that extortionate prices were
asked yesterday, do not put a good
business taste into the mouths Of
those who must buy. Stand by the
home merchant and if he has any
conception Of what it takes to
constitute man, he will do a good
part by you.

Mexican. rlller. Of the Soil.

The Mexicans of the lower class
naturally belong to the soil. This
statement is pretty we'll proved by the
fact that most of them who enter this
country as immigrants quickly find
their way to the farm and plantations.
That they are efficient labOrers in the
fields is shown by the great inroads
that they have already made in re-
placing the negro and other types Of
farm helpers. In thousands of in.
stances they have advanced from the
position of wage earners to that Of
land renters, and gradually the more
energetic and enterprising are obtain.
ing land of their own. AS a tenant
class, the Mexicans are pronounced
the superior of the people of most 9th.
er races and nationalities. In the cot.
ton-growing belt of Texas many plant
ers have done away entirely with their
negro and American tenants and are
now renting to Mexicans exclusively.

Do you think you are saving money
and being successful by remaining q
bachelor? If you do, read the Ameri.
can Magazine and see what a writer
says about the ratio between married
and single men. Part of it is: "Show
me one middle-aged bachelor who has
made success of his life, and I'll
show you % married men who have,
Probably the ratio is even greater
than this, but I prefer to base my con.
tention on demonstrable fact. OF the
q presidents of the United States,
only one lived and died bachelor.
Nineteen of them married before they
were thirty, five before they were
forty, and two after forty. Yet, nc.
cording to the census returns, taking
the entire population of the country
the proportion of single men to those
married, widowed or divorced, is abou,
40 to CO."
