The Graves Proposition
Amid the vast amount of llow-
ing oratory, reason principle,
history and common sense that is
expected from the annual dinners
to the memory of Thomas Jefferson,
it was to be expected that some
humor would be added. But who
would have believed that this
llavor was to be furnished by the
late vice-presidential candidate on
the Independence party ticket?
According to the dispatch, John
Temple Graves was requested at i
late hour to speak, or rather to ex
tend the olive branch. It is diffi
cult to decide if the words spoker
by him are to be taken as humor
ous, daring affrontery, or merely
as something to till in an idle mo
ment or two between the othei
speakers.
The offering of a coaliton be¬
tween less than »0,000 votes and a
party that polls nearly 7,000,000 is
too absurd to he long considered.
The Jeffersonian doctrine is that
the majority should rule: yet in
this ease the minority faction
comes forward and in a boastful
attitude says: •■We are here to
say that at this time of hope for
Democratic success that is the
success of the real Jeffersonian
Democracy—-if the 1 lemoc ratio
party is ready for the principles
that our league has fought for. we
should unite in this . forthcoming
struggle. The Independence
League is against the Democratic
party of caucus, but for the 1 >emo-
eratie party of responsibility, the
party of principle. We see an op¬
portunity for united action. It,
depends upon you. We are ready
to accept the Democratic party
that is not half Bryan, half Belmont
half llearst. half Ryan, If these
terms are not accepted the Inde¬
pendence League must stand out¬
side and await a better day.”
It is certain that the Indepen¬
dence party—or that fraction that
lemains—will "stand outside” for
a "better day" a long time before
the Democratic party will consent
to admit it on the conditions offer¬

The matter of the condition of
the cemetery road was discuss* d
Monday night at the regular meet¬
ing of the city council, and although
this road is outside of the city

in an excellent condition and all
the bridges repaired. This decla¬
ration was made by County Com¬
missioner \Y. R. Bowen, who

and addressed a lew remarks to
the council when the sul'jett of
the cemetery road came up.

and horses are constantly passing,
t<> -ay nothing ol the havoc it plays
" i it an automobile tire. But
strange to .ra v the writer frequent¬
ly finds on our main business
thoroughfares just such things.
We are not inclined to think that
anyone would maliciously do a
deed so small and still one that en¬
dangers the safety of so many, at
the same time someone has been
deplorably thoughtless in allowing
themselves to be so careless as to
drop boards with up-turned nails
in them on the main bnsi
streets or any other street
that matter. Unless someone rK
moves it in time such things
sure to puncture an automobile
tire, lodge in a child or horse's
foot. It is indeed dangerous and
the parties who have oecn so
thoughtless shdtild in future guard
against the careless manner they
have of disposing of their worth-
less "naily” boards, or if the nuis-
ance continues the proper authori-
ties should in the interest of alt
concerned take some action against
the perpetrators of the deed.
