Tuckaseige Democrat, July 9, 1890
The Senate passed the bill admit
ting Wyoming to the Union. The
I discussion preceding the passage oi
the bill involved woman's suffrage,
arguing that, as women oould vote
?nd hold office in Wyoming, they
could be elected to seats in the sen
ate. Another senator suggested that
the presence of women might have
! a good effect on the senate, while
Senator Morgan 's objection to wo
, man's suffrage was the immoral in
: fluence ?f the ballot upon women.

- (By DAN TOMPKINS,
Major A. l^ee Bulwinkle, former
o.'^rcssniiiH Jroin the ninth North
Carolina District, who was defeated
l'oi* reelection in ](>2S election by
Charles. A. Jonas, Republican, was
j nominated lor his old seat, in a
! run-nit' primary with 11:: mi (ton 'C.
Jones of Charlotte, Saturday. Both
Mr. Bulwinkle and Mi. Weaver, who
wont down before- the assault of
Republicans and Anti-Smith Demo
crats, 18 months ago, have been given
the opi>ortunity to redeem their dis
tricts.
It cost the people of the United
Stales 40'r lives to celebrate their
Independence Day, to sav nothing of
the hundreds who were maimed, and j
the pro])erty loss. Comment and the!
moral should be unnecessary.
.Mr. Hoover called the Senate into
?session, immediately upon i he ;>d
! .inurnment of congress, for the-pur
pose of having that body pass upon
|the Naval Treaty, negotiated at Lon
j dun. In other words, he kept the
Senate in after school, to do i heir
work. Which reminds us to seek fori
the reason that the Senate is given J
powers in foreign j.I fairs, by the!
< oust it m ion, not accorded the House.'
. . . !
The leason is obvious. The original
intention of the Constitution was t^?.
form a federation of soverign States,
ami the senators are supposed to be
the representatives of those several
governments, thus .wing the States
i hem-elves certain control over the
I'o.ci'^n relations of the federation.
But, how far afield have we wander
ed from that ideal of a federation
of soverign states!

John' 1). Rockefeller, Sr., celebrat
ed his ninety first birthday. All
America coniir.itulates this kindly
old man, and wishes him many more
years mi this sphere. Mr. Rockefeller,
who amassed one 01 the greatest tor
lunes of all time, in his earlier ca
reer, sometimes by somewhat devious
means, can command the best phys
icians, can live in just the kind of
climate that is best for him, can do
the things that are , conducive to
longevity. Other and less fortunate
men must meet the rigors of the
weather, toil in the summer sun, or
plod tlirougli thu biting winds of
winter's storms, and their lives are
thus shortened. Perhaps it is fair,
perhaps it is just. Perha|?s it was

the earth and life to the sons of

of it.

SYLVA SCOUTS TO GO TO
CAMP DANIEL BOONE
Thursday morning, July 17, about
. ten happy Boy Scouts will leave
I Svlva for a ten days encampment at
jCainp Daniel Boone in Pisgah Na
i tionai forest some fourteen miles
j southAsheville.
Daniel Boone is the Council ramp
i lor the Asheville area, and is one of
| the best camps in the south for boys,
i It is under the direct supervision
of Mr A. W. Allen, Scout Executive,
of the Daniel Boone council. Mr. Al
I len has a number of able assistants
who are skilled in swimming and
; the various crafts of Scouting.
Following is a partial 1st of those
! <;oing: John Pan is, .Jr., Alvin Sut
ton, -I. T. Gribble, Jr., Tom Kelly,
j John Irwin; William Curtis, Ernest
: Wilson, Jr., "Byd" Hall, and Chas.
j Weller. Any others who wish to gt,
I had better see Mr. Clemmer, Scout
master of troop one, immediately.
Harding and the Ohio Oang, and the
falling of our country from the scats
of(the mighty, a return to material
ism, from idealism, and a wave of
crime that still if sweepi(n? over
America, because the ideal was
trampled under foot and the mater
ial set up as our god. Some Demo
cratic senators are taking part hi
the present move to defeat the latest
step towartl peace, and I for one,
as a Democrat, am thoroughly asham
ed and disgusted with them. They
are helping to do the very kind of
tiling for which this paper most
heartily condemned the Republicans
a few years ago.
French airmen, seeking to cross
the South Atlantic from South Amer
ica to Africa, were forced to land
in mid-ocean, and were rescued by
a ship. They had sense enough to
start out in a sea plane, enabling
them to land on the water. That is
the only kind of an airship that
should ever attempt to cross the
oceans.
Another fool tried to go over Ni
agara Falls in a barrel. He's dead.
Suppose he had accomplished the
j feat and come out alive, lie wouldn't
i have been the first person to do it,
{and there would have been little
j tflory.
I -Tames Cannon, Jr., Bishop of Af
rica and of Politics, head of the
Southern Methodist jmlitical lobby,
insists that in the reapportionment
of the House, aliens should be count
ed out. Of course t he Political Bish
op's purpose is to lower the con
gressional representation of the
Eastern centers. But, if such a move
is made, the opposition will also in
sist that non-voting Negroes be count
ed out, which would materially re
duce the representation from the dry i
i South. It is a good idea to take}
many things into consideration be- ~
fore making a political move.
