A Good Memory

While in conversation with our
good friend, N. B. Nesbitt, a few
days ago, Mr. Nesbitt spoke Of a
speaking in Huntingdon 50 years
ago. 1t was a debate between
those intellectual giants, Emmer-
son Ethridge and j. D. Q. Atkins.
When Ethridge finished the Hunt
ingdon ladies presented him with
some flowers, and Mr., Nesbitt re-
peated Mr.. Ethridge's eloquent re-
Spouse. At our urgent request
Mr.. Nesbitt put it in writing, and
we give it below. 1t is a beautiful
response and shows a fine memory
upon the part of MIR. Nesbitt.
Here is what the eloquent Ethridge
said:
Ladies-For these lovely flowers,
testimonials of your esteem, per.
nit me to return to you my sincere
thanks. Had | the oratorical pow.
ers of a Demothenes, the des-
scriptive genius of Byron, the
Grammatical attainments of a Shakes
peare or the eloquence of a Clay, a
Webster or a Calhoun, l would
still be unable to express to you
the emotions which these precious
flowers have elected in my bosom.
Men may frown on me, the
storms of adversely may rage
around me, but 50 long as | have

when there is not a zephyr stir.
ring to disturb the gossamers
dreamy repose, will then come a
soft, silent drifting along the dim
aisles of the inner fame, gently
lifting the lattice drapery and let
ting in again the sunshine OF this
hour. In conclusion may your
lives be one of unalloyed happiness
and pleasure. May flowers, fresh
and fragrant, be strewn along your
pathway as you journey down the
broad highway of time, and finally
when the roses shall have faded
from your cheeks and your eyes
dimmed in death, may you bloom
out more gIoriously in the eternal
paradise of God.

LEGISLATURE QUITS

The work of the Sixty-second
General Assembly is finished. That
body took formal adjournment last
Monday at noon. Much good and
SO ne very bad legislation was en-.
acted. This is generally the case.
We have entirely too many laws
and the volume continues to grow.
The legislature, it seems, did
not measure above the average.
Following the example of the
Congress of the United States for
the last two years it played poll
tics largely and enacted some very
p artisan legislation. We are hav-
ing too much politics, both ma
tional and state, and have had for
several years, and the country is
suffering for the lack of construc-
tive, non-partisan legislation.
Gov. Taylor vetoed several bills,
but most, if not all of them,
we're passed oyer his veto. The
governor was warranted in some
Of his vetoes, but he was actuated
through partisanship in others
When the legislature and executive
bodies are of different political
parties such conflicts are expected.
We have not kept up with the
doings Of the legislature sufficiently
to pass judgment on the actual
merits or dement's of the laws en-
acted. but we hope and believe
that the good accomplished will,
perhaps, outweigh the bad. Time
alone will tell.

FRIDAY, APRIL Is, 1921
CONGRESS IN SESSION

The Sixty. seventh congress con.
vened in extra session last Monday.
It is to be hoped that this congress
will be more productive of good
than was the last congress.
The new congress starts off with
nothing to prevent it from accom-.
plishing good if it has a disposition
to do so. 1t is largely republican.
a big republican majority in both
houses, the president republican
and the heads of all departments
of the same party. The democrats
are so largely in the minority that
they cannot hinder legislation if so
inclined, and they seem disposed
to aid rather than to obstruct, es-
pecially in the enactment of all
we'll meaning legislation.
The president and leaders have
mapped out quite an extensive
program and the session will likely
continue into the dog days.
Reconstruction of American af-
fairs home and abroad is the theme
of the congress as it gets down to its
work. The senate has SO republic
cans and 81 democrats and the
house 300 republicans and 1872
democrats giving the party in
power absolute control and COM
plete responsibility.

The primary purpose of a news
paper is to record passing events
and things of more or less interest
that happen. Incidentally, by rea-
son of a natural inclination OF
people to be impressed by what
they see in print, and the fact that
the newspaper has a large and
constant audience, its influence
upon the public mind is of tremen-
dous and persistent force. Fortu-
nately, the majority of men who
control the utterances of news

papers realize the responsibility
which such a position entails, and
for the most part are careful not
to give endorsement to any policy
inimical to public welfare or to do
violence to enlightened public senti-
ment. As a factor in establishing
standards of community ethics it
leads all other forces. -'Hullahoma

Two collisions between automobiles
and teams at night have recently been
reported to the Vermont secretary Of
state, and ir each case the wagon was
not provided with light, as the law
directs. Not 50 much blame attaches
to the driver OF motor vehicle when
he collides with vehicle, which does
not carry light, for it is certainly
reasonable that the wagon should be
equipped with light to make its pres
ence known and when drivers of teams
fail to take that necessary precaution
they are laying themselves open to ac-
cident. The increasing use of motor
vehicles on the highways of Vermont
in winter time makes this protection
of team drivers more essential now
than 1t nsrd to be when cars were gen
orally put up for the winter.
