They were generally indifferent to the fact that representatives of the United States abroad suffered diplomatic and personal incon- venience and humiliation because they were oatranked by representatives of other and lesser nations.

There is «| good deal in a name after all. a Gentlemen who affect “‘society” and yet wear reversible cuffs are probably unaware of the extreme thinness of the crust upon which they | stand, so it becomes Tax Stan's painfal duty to | arouse them from their lethargy and direct at- tention to the wrath which is moving toward them with the rapidity and remoreelessness of | ‘the great cloud of office seekers now en route to this city.

This dictum is truly aw- ful in some of its phases. but viewed from the steam-lauriryman’s standpoint is en durable. The being who turns bis cuffs may defy even the Argus eyes of society for awhile, but he shouldever have before his mental vision the fate of that young man whose ev- gagement toa wealthy girl was broken by the party of the second part because she discovered that her affianced was addicted to red flannel underciothing. Be sure your cuffs will find / you out! ———— 2 __—_ Chattanooga has not yet spologized to the decent people of the United States for the lynching of Andy Blount,a Tennessee society event which happened a little more than two weeks ago. Chattanooga aiso owes an apology to Biount, but as he ix not at present wi reach of those prominent citizens who sus- pended him by the neck from a bridge which spans the Tennessee river, even vocal repara- tion is impossible. Blount, who was, of course. @ negro. was arrésted on suspicion ef having assaulted a white woman, but there was not a scrap of evidence against him, even the woman | eclaring ber inability to identify him. Now there is very general belief in Chattanooga ‘that Blount was innocent, but the sentiment comes too late either to save Blount's life or Chattanooge's reputation. Deeds like these— Bloody and wholly unnecessary—do more to discourage investment m the south than all other causes combined. ——_— eo The attaching together of the beneficial dtreet exteusion lezislation and the outrageous provision absolving Uncle Sam from financial responsibility in respect to extensions of the national capital creates @ thoroughly uncon- genial an incompatible pair of Siamese twins For what we have received in the line of legis- | lation providing for a uniform extension of | suburban highways let us be truly thankful. | ‘To those whose endeavors have been to make such extensions legal and in conformity | with the broad and artistic plan of L’Enfant | ‘the thanks of all good citizens are due. | But the revolutionary severance of the equita- | pin | So Sacere ese. | be fairly judged by their music.
