NASHVILLE BANNER LOSES
 EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Like most newspaper men, Richard H. Yan- cey, editor-in-chief of the Nashville Banner, kept at work as long as his strength and health would permit. His death yesterday at his home in Nashville removes notable fig ure from southern journalism. MT. Yancey read much, observed local, national and inter- national events closely and wrote with force and perspicuity almost to the day of his death. When longer able to write with his own hand, he dictated editorials to members of his family, and his last contribution to the Banner published but few days ago.
 MT. Yancey was born in Fayette county, Tennessee, November 22, 1853. He was ed ucated at schools and colleges in his native state, and most of his newspaper work was done in Tennessee. In 1887 he came to Bir- mingham and served as editorial writer on the Herald and was later associated in an edi- torial capacity with The Age-Herald, after the two papers were consolidated. Mr. Yancey spent about four years in Birmingham, re- turning to Tennessee, where he became asso- ciate editor of the Banner in 1891. Following
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-06-23

the resignation of G. H. Baskette in 1911, he was made editor-in-chief, position he filled until his death.
 MT. Yancey was noted for the vigor of his style and his large fund of information. It IS said of him that his memory was so reten- tive that when writing of European and his torical matters he rarely used a reference book.
 Mir. Yancey led an active newspaper life, full of worthwhile achievements, earned the affectionate esteem of his associates, won the friendship of many people in Tennessee and elsewhere, enjoyed the respect of his news paper contemporaries and died in harness. That is about all the average newspaper man asks of his profession. It was characteristic of Mir. Yancey that, knowing his end was near, he wrote a note to the managing editor of the Banner, telling him where his photograph could be found.

QUEER NOTION OF SLAVERY"
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
 Labor will not accept slavery, and the su preme court cannot crush the trade-unien movement without endangerng the founSa tions of society Such, in part, is the declara tion of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor regarding the recen ee cision of the supreme court in the Coronado mine case, in which it was held that trade unions and other voluntary associations were suable under the damage and liability pro visions of the Sherman antitrust law.
 Members of the executive. council seem tos have a strange notion of slavery. Corpora tions are sued in their collective capacity, yet no one thinks that corporations are held in slavery There are many kinds of voluntary associations in the country and the supreme court, in interpreting the Sherman act, ruled that all of them suable in their collective capacity when guilty of restraint of trade, of boycotting of injury to private rights Have all these voluntary associations and their members been reduced to slavery by a stroke of the judicial pen? Hardly.
 k Private individuals do not regard thenl- selves as slaves when the law makes them liable for torts and injuries, as 1t must if order and security are to obtain. The person who pays damages for injuries inflicted suffers, of course, but he suffers for wrong committed That does not make him slave. Corporations and voluntary associations are, and always have been liable in damages for torts, and as the supreme court pointed out in the Coronado case, the question whether one sues numerous individuals or a collective and artificial person is really a question not of principle but of procedure or method.
 Labor's essential rights and liberties remain quite safe, and so do the substantial rights and liberties of other voluntary associations.

LOVE OF COUNTRY

By Sir Walter Scott.
 Breathes, there a man, with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, "This is my own-my native landv' Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned As home his footsteps he hath turned From wondering on foreign strand? If such there breathe, go-mark him well; For him no minstrel raptures swell; High though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim Despite those titles, power and pef. The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renoun; And, doubly dying, shall go dowr To the vile dust from when he sprung, Unwept, unhonored and unsung.

thought it should. To test his judgment and show his confidence in the Lass of Laugh ter,' which was about to be withdrawn be- cause of decreasing receipts, he announced that patrons might see the piece first and pay the regular price or nothing as they felt like on leaving.
 Nine out of ten who have taken advantage of his invitation have paid the regular price after seeing the performance, and the play has been given new lease of life. Whether it is the novelty of the idea or the quality of the play cannot be determined until the nov city has worn off. The scheme offers chance for desponding playwrights and producers to- give their offering another chance, if they are willing to risk the judgment and honesty of the public.

LILLIAN RUssELL's SENSE OF HUMoR

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Few New Workers were better acquainted with Lillian Russell that Howard Chandler Christy, the famous artist and illustrator, late of Zanesville, O. Mir Christy painted stunning portrait of Miss Russell a few months ago. It was exhibited in Fifth avenue shop, and the writer overheard one woman who viewed it exclaim: "Either Miss Russell or Mr. Christy is great artist" This was repeated to Miss Russell, who enjoyed it hugely.
 ''It was surprising how Miss Russell enjoyed other day

 Tt is so kind of you to say such sweet things" said Miss Russell, "but you have. made grave mistake. That was my grand mother you heard We both had the same name and looked very much alike"
 On another occasion when dining in cafe she overheard herself being made the subject of conservation by party at adjoining table, Naturally she listened, and in telling the story afterward she never failed to add the old saw to the effect that people never hear any good of themselves

DIR. BRANSCOMB GIVES UP
 EDITORIAL WORK

Dr. L. C. Branscomb, who has been editor of the Alabama Christian Advocate, official or gan of the Alabama and North Alabama con- ferences of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, for the past six years and a half, an- nounces his retirement to again take up the Shepherds crook"
 Dr. Branscomb has made the Alabama Christian Advocate one of the best edited and most readable religious publications in the south. The value of the property has increased under his management. Although he under took the task of editing the paper with mis- givings, as he states in his farewell announce ment, he has made conspicuous success. His retirement from post which he has filled so capaby will be regretted by the secular as we'll as the religious press, for he has always been keenly interested in public affairs and has profession.
 Dr. Branscomb will resume his pastoral work at Anniston, having been appointed to one of the most attractive charges in Alabama. He tells the readers of the Christian Advocate that he is not quitting" but simply obeying the orders of his bishop Birmingham will be sorry to lose Dr. Branscomb.

THE COUNTRY BOYS BETTER CHANGE


 From the New York World.
 Judge Gary, visiting Wheaton, H., his old home town, said that>whle he could give no general rule for success he would advise every young man to get his start in the country. It will make him healthy, physically, intellectually and morally he said, land it gives him better chance"
 That is, if you would shine or Broadway begin on Main street. This is main travelled road to prosperity, and many city celebrities if not the greater number of them, have fol lowed it. But is not the better chance to be found less in the moral or intellectual con ditions of the small town than in its oppor- tunities for all-round development?
 The boy in a large city sees only a part of it's life. The scale is too large for his com splete comprehension, and he is only too likely to become adapted at an early period to a groove from which it is difficult to escape. Int boy in the small town, on the other hand, takes q greater part in community activities. He knows of everything that goes on has hand in much of it, gets wider outlook and better sense of proportion He acquires more diversified experience which benefits him when he comes to the city by enabling him to recognize in the broader field of city life the conditions with which he became familiar in the town
 better chance? It is not so much matter of health and morals as of adaptability by closer contact with life.
