ing people to vote for him anc
send him to the United State,'
i senate. He betrayed the trust
that had been reposed in him in
this manner. He spurned the
honor conferred upon him,
crushed it under his foot in at
tempting to make a stepping
stone of it, and like little Oliver,
cried for “more”. He injected
the prohibition question into the
senatorial campaign, and he had
the bad taste to bitterly assail
Leader Underwood, whom the
Democracy of the nation was ap
plauding, and of whom the Dem
ocrats and the entire people of
Alabama had every reason to
feel proud. Hobson made the
mistake of many politicians in
assuming that all that was nec
essary for him to do was to come
in physical adjacency to the vot
ers, let them look upon him and
hear his voice. How often do
we hear candidates for office be
wail the fact that they have not
time or opportunity to see the
people. This is a mere delusion.
The people do not require an oc
ular demonstration. They have
a way of learning the truth other
than this. Racing around over
a proud state in a spectacular
manner on a motorcycle and
pausing every few miles to de
liver some complaint or censure
against other candidates, is be
neath the dignity of so great an
office, and the people resent it.
To use an expression which is
no doubt familiar to Mr. Hobson,
he made himself too common.
He gave the people opportunity
of learning too much about him.
He destroyed the mystery which
surrounds the man in public life
and renders him a sort of veiled
prophet of Khorassan, giving
him) the same sort of divinity
that hedges about a king. A toe
close scrutiny of any individual
by the public is sure to reveal
the fact that he is only human
and like one of themselves, and
people are natural Tories and
are always in quest of someone
bigger and greater than them
selves, whom they may honor
land worship. It would be fatal
i to the political aspirations of
any man, however popular, to go
in swimming in the old time way
with his constituents, dressed
only in nature’s garb. The suc
cessful politician while exclu
sively cordial and familiar in su
perficial aspect, must impress his
which elevates him and d'istin
whic helevates him and distin
guishes him high above the or
dinary plane of life. To per
mit people to measure his limit
ations by that form of familiari
ty that breeds contempt is suicid
al in any man who desires to re
ceive or retain the respect of his
fellow men, whether it be in pub
lic or in private life.—Memphis

Hobson’s Mistake.
Richmond Pearson Hobson,
Congressman from Alabama,
made a not unusual mistake in
the manner in which he went out
after the United States senator
ship. At one time Hobson was
a national idol, and in interna
tional hero, and he richly merit
^ ^'T'd the honors. His feat of sink
ing the Merrimac was so unu
sual, so skillful, so desperately
courageous that it flung him m
the limelight, where he remain
ed for long the cynosure of all
eyes. His triumphal tour of the
country afterward might have
been to gratify his vanity, but it
was amiably forgiven. His re
cord-breaking stunts of kissing
young women did not militate
against him, because every man
likes to kiss young women, and
the more the merrier. Neither
did Hobson’s persistent demands
for a greater navy and his excit
ed and neurasthenic shrieks
about the Japanese menace do
more than make him ridiculous;
but even that was passed over,
as an exhibition of the immaturi
ty of adolescence. Hobson’s se
rious, and, as it turned out, fatal
mistake, was in deserting his
Post in Washington and devoting
that time for which the people
vere paying him a large salary
to going over his state, beseech

Capital Seeks Freedom.
Baltimore’s horse having been
stolen by Richmond the Mary
land legislature proceeds to put
a padlock upon the stable door.
A few years ago Maryland
thought it was a very fine game
to levy a tax of 2*4 per cent up
on all bank capital.
The result was that Maryland j
bankers were greatly handicap- j
ped in doing business. More
over, banking, capital avoided
Maryland because the field of its
usefulness had been so gravely ■
restricted.
In ten years the loans of Bal- <
timore banks increased only 85 ■
per cent, compared with 207 per 1
cent in Richmond, while Balti

its rose 3.8 per cent, against a
gain in Richmond of 152 per
cent.
These facts weighed heavily,
no doubt, in giving a new feder
al bank to Richmond, and keep
ing one away from big Balti
more, The harm having been
done, the Maryland legislature
has now passed a bill reducing
the bank tax from 2i/2 to 1 per
cent.
Just recently Gov. Fielder, of;
New Jersey, instigated a cam- j
paign for a tax of 1 per cent on
all bank capital, surplus and un
divided profits. A bill making
such a tax three-quarters of one
per cent has gone upon the stat- j
ute books. Time will tell if this j
produces an effect similar to
that in Maryland. — Memphis
