CARTER HARRISON IS
WILLING TO LEAD
DEMOCRATS.
In 1896 Harrison Had an Idea That
the Presidency Might Come His
Way—Harrison and Tom
Johnson Loom Up More
Prominently.
By Jos: Ohl.
Washington. April 11.—(Special.)—The
report from Chicago indicating that Car
ter Harrison expects to cut a figure in
the contest for the democratic nomination
for the presidency does not surprise any
body who knows the astute and energetic
mayor of Chicago. Carter Harrison has
presidential aspirations .nd he believes
;he time has come for him to get busy
in national politics.,
out at the. Kansas City convention in
19m) I talked with Mayor Harrison upon
several different occasions and while he
declined to make any positive declaration
of his hopes or intentions, the impression
[ he made upon me was that he expected
to eat a figure in national politics in 1901.

Carter Harison could have had the nom

had he so desired. In response to over
tures made to him by leading southern
delegates, as well as by the politicians
of his own state, ho declined to allow his
dame to be considered in this connection.

Senatorship or Presidency?
Ther- are. a good many active demo
crats who have announced themselves
in favor of the nomination of Johnson
for the presidency. Mr. Bryan is very I
friendly to him. Ue would have the sup
part of the radical element, comprised of j
single-taxers and socialists, for he is re
garded by those men as one of them. (
He is. as everybody knows, a disciple of .
the late Henry George, and has been one
of the prominent -advocates of the single
tax tehory.
Johnson is a man of large property,
but it can hardly be expected that he
would appeal to the conservative element
in the democratic party, nor is there any
likelihood of an Ohio man being given
the democratic nomination for the pres- !
ideney. Th.-, hope of Ohio getting into the j
democratic column is too elusii- to sway .
the action of the practical politicians of |
the party. I
In recognition, apparently, of the ob
stacles in the wav of his presidential run- I
bitiou. Mayor Johnson is report, i to hay j
his eye upon the seat of the senate by
Senator Hanna. .
There is a good deal more substance to
the ambition foi a senate seat in Lie
present condition of Ohio affairs than
there would be to presidential ambition ;
by t h e democracy route for any Ohio
man. Wh-n Senator Hanna was elected
be had the support of the fourteen r-’l"' 1 ’-
sentatives from his own county These
representatives made the legislature re
publican on joint ballot. The), is a very
substantial possiiblity that Johnson can,
by . arm ing Cuvahoga county for the d'-m
--o.'-rntic '-andi.lates. so shape the campaign (
In Ohio as to secure a democratic legis- I
laturo. in that event he would almost i
certainly bo in a position to dictate as I
to the senator, which would of course
mean the election of himself.
THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: GA., MONDAY. APRIL 13, 1903.
USE OF THE ROD IN SCHOOLROOM
’ Just what part the rod should play in
| the training of a child has long been a
I mooted question in the minds of thought
, ful parents, inspired with a proper re
gard for the welfare of their offspring.
The philosopher, as he walked home
from church yesterday, took up the old
i question, apropos of nothing in particu
lar. and communicated his theories to the
i patient companion, who had occupied the
i pew in church with him.
j "King Solomon was truly a wise man,"
I began the philosopher, “but ho did make,
a few mistakes and I'm inclined to con
sider bls precept: 'Spare the rod and
spoil the child’ as one of his most griev
ous errors.
“Since the reign of Solomon many a
child lias been soundly spanked for no
other reason than that the maxim of the
old king being recorded in the Bible
tiic parent imagines he has found scrip-
I rural sanction for the application of the
I switch. 5
“It may be, the record does Solomon
I an unintentional injustice, for certainly
! he had too much sense to lay down a
general rule that every child must be
I whipped or else grow up wanting a due
. amount of moral stamina. Perhaps what
I he meant to say, and I agree with him
I fully if b<- did, was that the rod should
i always be applied when the rod is need
ed; but that brings on more talk, to adopt
a familiar expression.
“Any man who understands horses will
tell you that a different method of con
trol must be practiced with each par
ticular a.nimal, and, it seems to me. chil
dren have at least as much individuality
, as horses. There is many a thoroughbred
that would kick a roed wagon to smith
j creens in a twinkling if some injudicious
• driver were to cut him with the lash,
• while there may be m> other successful
i way to deal with the horse in the -icxt
I stall.
"The use of the switch on some chil
dren stmply opens a breach between the
young on.- and the parent that will never
heal completely, and destroys every ves
tige of lilial affection and respect for the
father’s or mother s authority. The rod, j
however, proves a wholesome tonic for i
I other youngsters,
“But, aft'-r all. he must be gifted with :
! a rare wisdom who can tell when to whip |
1 and when not to whip, and it seems to
■ me the better plan is to take chances of
\ spoiling a child by not applying the rod
than to take chances of spoiling him by
the use of the same article.
"That is the same principle we find in
the criminal law, viz: it is bettor that
many guilty men should escape than that
one innocent should be punished.
“So the next time you fee] inclined to
Invite Johnny Io the wood shed stop a
minute and think whether you iran’t
teach him the needed lesson in a more
humane way. Turn the thing well over
in your mind; reflect on it honestly, and
you and Johnny will both be better off
, in the end.”
Southern Race Tolerance.
Editor Constitution: Much has been
: said about the separation of the negro
from the while man of the south. This
can only be done by the hand of Provi
dence, as God in His wise and prudent
dealings brought them together for a pur
pose hidden away to man, and their fu
| ture destiny- depends upon Him. Some of
t tlie weaker minds of both races have said
{ the negro's worst enemy is the white
i man of the south. This has been proven
| untrue and a malicious falsehood against
| the negroes.
I Never, no never. In the history of the
i civilized world has there ever been a
! lime where one race held another in
i bondage and after liberating them, re-
Imained together with as much happiness
and prosperity as these two races. This
is an evidence of the friendly relations
existing between them.
’ I After having traveled in every section
I of this great country 1 am compelled to
■ stale that after all that has been said
' the negro has no truer friend than the
■ - white people of the south. They under-
• stand each other better than any two dis
-1 tinct races in the world and where else
; in the world the common interest of
■ out is the interest of both? Os course,
i wo have some friction, as they have in
■ other sections, but mere has never been
I a general disaster, and the civilized
| world, to be just, must give the white
' people of the south credit for the pr.ig-
I ress they have made in handling this
I most perplexing so-called race problem
1 I believe the newspaper writers, both
! north and south, should be more careful
I about what thex say through public
pr.ss.
Now. .n conclusion. I am glad to state
that there is a better feeling existing
between the two races in the south than
ever before in the history of the country,
and it is only a question of time and

cost of $25,000 in honor of the twenty
regiments that state had in the battle of
Shiloh. Two special trains and a fleet of
600 passenger boats brought 600 people
from Indianapolis this morning. Gen

the army of the Tennessee had no com
