AMEBICUB, 0A JUNE 12, 1906.
If President Koosevelt were a
candidate he would hardly get the
packing house vote.
A wet June may make a good
crop year, but it doesn’t add to the
abundance of the wheat harvest.
Large Democratic vote for an off
vear this year, A vigorous, vir
ile, fighting Democracy will give a
good account of itself.
The uncovering of a nest of graft
ers among the Pennsylvania em
ployes shows that grafting can be
practiced in any business.
If the minority in the Senate
wanted a genial gentleman for a
leader, but who possesses no qual
ities as a leader, it has got him.
The attention paid to municipal
ownership of street railroads in
Chicago might have been expend
ed in reform work at the stock
yards.
Pointers political indicate clear
ly that Bryan will head the demo
cratic national ticket in 1908.
Whether he can win is another
proposition.
Mitchell is dead, Burton has re
signed, Smoot has been given the
boot, Platt is lying low and 1 )epew
is absent, probably for keeps. The
Senate is improving some.
The author of “My Old Ken
tucky Home’’ and “Way Down
ou the Snwanee River*’ is entitled
to the monument which is to be un
veiled this week in his honor.
The meat packers claim there is
aothiug the matter with their
plants or methods, but they are
cleaning their packing houses and
have improved things 50 per cent.
Democratic brethren are eriticis
ing the extravagances in the White
House. They should understand
that it costs more to run a high
pressure. triple-expansion Presi
dent.
It is within the bounds of prob
ability that some of the strongest
forces that opposed Mr. Bryan in
1890 and 1900 will support him in
1908, in the event of his nomina
tion.
The Executive Committee of the
Populist party of Georgia will
meet in Atlanta next Thursday,
14th, at 12 o’clock for the purpose
of defining the party’s attitude in
the present political situation.
The President’s daughter and
the grinning freak who married
her for the notoriety it would give
him, are now being .exhibited in
Europe, where disgusting home
age is paid them as by fools here.
Two months ago Speaker Cannon
wrote: “The desire for a change,
which exists in the commen mind,
will drive the Republican party, if
continued in power, to a tariff re
vision. Ido not w ant it, but it
will come in the not distant fu
ture.’’ “Drive” is the word.
The Republican party will never
revise the tariff until the people
drive it to do so. The peole, how
ever, may conclude to drive it out
of power. !

GOING HOME TO OLD KENTUCKY
They are preparing for a big
time in Old Kentucky. Home-
Coming Week is to be celebrated
in true Kentucky style and spirit,
and the wandering sons and
daughters of the Bluegrass State
Will gather once more under the
blue skies of their native State,
where the “sun shines bright,”
the clear waters make music all
the day, and the mint grows green.
Next Thursday a statue of Stephen
C. Foster, the author of “My Old
Kentucky Home,” will be un
veiled in Louisville, and all the
Inion will be represented in the
brilliant assemblage.
The cabin in which Abraham
Lincoln was born will be there,
and Henry Watterson will deliver
an address, as will Adlai Steven
son, a distinguished son of Ken
tucky.
There are over 000,000 Ken
tuckians living outside of the
State, and thousands of these will
visit their native heath this week.
More than 62,000 Kentuckians
live in Illinois. Kentucky has
contributed seven Governors to
Illinois. Eyery Governor of Illi
nois from 1860 to 1888 was a Ken
tuckian. Kentucky also gave to
Illinois and the Nation one Presi
dent—Abraham Lincoln. It gave
to the Confederacy its President—
Jefferson Davis. It gave to Illi
nois and the Nation one Vice Pres
ident—Adlai E. Stevenson. Sen
ator Culloin, of Illinois is a Ken
tuckian. Kentucky has been pro
lific in great men, and through its
sons bas enriched the citizenship
of many States.
It is going to be a great week in
Kentucky. There will be plenty
to eat and something to drink and
a warm welcome fur all. There
will be reunions of families and
friends and new ties aud friend
ships will be formed. Where ever
there is a Kentuckian w hom time
and distance keep away from the
Home-Coming he will fondly sigh
for “My Old Kentucky Home far
away.”
BRY*N MAY SWEEP THE DECK
Never before has a political
event been more definitely deter
mined in advance than that of Wil
liam J. Bryan will be the nominee
of the Democratic party for Presi
dent in 1908, thinks the New Or
leans States. Death and an im
movable purpose not to accept the
nomination are the only two things
that can prevent him from being
the standard-bearer of the Democ
racy in the next national campaign.
In spite of the years of abuse and
denunciation he has suffered he
still remains the “peerless leader”
of the Democratic hosts—the plain
people who have never once lost
confidence in him or forsaken him.
The Bryan wave which is now
sweeping the country is merely the
wave that made its appearance in
1896, and has never since subsid
ed. It is now moving with tre
tremendous rapidity toward the
East, which Mr. Bryan once
termed “the enemy’s country,”
but this time Bryanism, as it has
been sneeringly called, will be
welcomed there.
Obsolete roods. •
In Great Britain we have left off eat
ing many wild creatures that formerly
were accounted delicacies. For exam
ple, the young gulls—we mean the
black headed, Inland nesting variety—
used to be collected and sold for pies
and puddings. There is still a tradi
tion in favor of rook pie, but the num
ber of rooks that come on the market
is a decreasing quantity every year.
Squirrel used to be eaten quite com
monly too.—London Country Life.
Chance.
Chance never yet writ a legible book;
never built a fair house; never drew a
Beat picture; never did any of thes®
things nor ever will; nor can it with
out absurdity be supposed to do them,
which are yet works very gross or rude
and very easy and feasible, as it were,
in comparison to the production of a
flower or a tree.—Barrow.
The Perfect Article.
When they asked Brother Dickey for
his idea of perfect happiness he re
plied:
“A black nigger sleepin’ in de shade
era green tree, wid a watermelon un
derneath his head, two big ones each
side er him en a appertite fer all three
w’en he wakes up!”— Atlanta Constitu
tion.
She Knew.
Ann—See what a lovely diamond en
gagement ring Henry gave me! Jane—
Yes, it is. And it’s genuine too. Ann—
Why, * what do you mean? Jane—
When Henry gave it to me I sent and
had it tested.—Answers.
THIS BACHELOR A BENEFACTOR
Rudolph Weill is a millionaire
merchant, philanthropist and
bachelor of San Francisco. He
evidently feels that he has not done
his duty and so he has levied a
bachelor’s tax upon himself. He
has selected fifty women to fit out
5,000 women with new dresses,
shoes, cloaks, lingerie and all the
articles required in a woman’s
complete outfit of dress. He will
ask uo questions; the recipients
need not even give him their
names, and he will foot the bills.
He says: “You see, I never have
had the pleasure of providing for
a wife. In a time of stress such as
this, when heads of families have
been put to their wits’ ends in at
tending to the wants of those de
pendent upon them, my conscience
has troubled me. So 1 decided to
levy the tax. When 5;000 needy
women shall have been supplied
with complete outfits of clothiDg I
shall feel that I have done some
thing of my duty tow ard the other
sex. This is not a matter of phil
anthropy, except toward myself. I
want to free myself of an accusing
conscience.” What a nice mail!
Is he not too perfectly lovely for
anything? Earthquake aud fire
did not destroy gallantry in San
Francisco. It simply aroused it.
Why, cannot Georgia, like Ken
tucky, have a “home-coming”
week in the fall. It would be a
happy idea and result in bringing
to the Empire State many thous
ands of her sons residing else
where.
Interest will be fixed today upon
the battle of ballots in Savannah,
the death struggle between the
Citizens Club and Peoples League
in the election of county officers
and members of the legislature. '
