THIRD PARTY WITHOUT LEADER The Third Party, called by its mem bers a Progressive Party, is without a leader. Wh#n Senator LaFollette died many persons were suggested as his suc cessor. Senator Norris being among them. Senator Norris does not want the place and he is not bashful about saying so. Quite a number of individuals and organ izations wrote the Senator asking that lie accept the leadership of their party, and others went so far as take for gruted his acceptance of the place. Writing to the Progressive Political League of Manhat tan that lie could uot understand how it was taken for granted that he would be a candidate for the place. Senator Nor ris pointed out that lie opposed the or ganization of a Third Party and took no part in its movement. He pays tribute to the patriotism of the insurgents bnt adds that “it seems to me that what the. country was suffering from most was too much partisanship.” The Senator gave some good advice in this connection, especially to those per sons who see no evil in anything their party does: “Party ties rest very lightly upon me. and as I have said, my idea is that one of the greatest evils of government is that so many people tie themselves up to a party, when as a matter of fact it seems to me they ought to be independent of all parties. Under existing conditions, I presume parties are necessary, but it' is a mistake to regard a party as any-* thing but an instrumentality of govern ment." Tile Asheville Citizen thinks this mes sage from Senator Norris a very timely one. and “may carry discouragement to the Third Party personnel." “Senator Norris." adds the Citigen. “is often re- : garded as unsound In his economic and’ liulitical thinking, but he is entirely right in his belief that lack of parties is not one of the evils of our body politic." WE ARE GREAT USER* OF THE Tf9Uer»OKE. Americans use the telephone more than any other race of people, and naturally they have more of the instruments than any other people. Statistics compiled hy the Southern California Telephone Company show that' the United States with approximately: Mi.tttHl.oOO instruments leads the world in telephone development. Os the world’s telephones 63 :per cant, are in the Triited States, 26 per cent, in the countries of Europe ami 11 per cent, iu countries of other continents. * < For every 1,006 (>ersons in the United States there are 131 telephones while in Buroiiean countries there art only 12' phones tor each 1,000 persons. In the* cities of the United States there are, on an Average. 177 telephones for each 1,000 persons with Atlantic City leading the tiff, Yqrk City, despite and population, and also despite ,the tScf that it ranks above Berlin, Loudon, Paris, Liverpool. Rome. Auswerp. Brussels and Shanghai, ranks forty-third in the United States in the number of phones per 1,090 inhabi- Americans have reached a point where they cannot live happily ami successful ly without a telephone in their hom<| Farm people are installing phones in great numbers each year, whereas ten years ago it was seldom a ’phone could be found in the rural, sections. A great part of the business of the United States; is carried on over telephone wires, and: in addition there are thousands and thou sands of persons who use the wires for personal reasons. Hendersonville seems to be leading the rest of the State now in real estate trans fers. Property vnlued at about $1,000,- 000 is changing hands weekly now in the mountain town and plans are under way now for a $2.000J»00 hotel. Florida real estate men. some of them the same agents who started the big real estate boom in Florida, are in Hendersonville and they certainly have started the wheel rolling. New developments are springing up in all parts of 'the city; old develop ments are being given renewed attention and the town as a whole is interested more in real estate than anything else. GRAVE OF BRYAN WILL BE AMIDST COMRADES Burial Friday Afternoon in Arlington Cemetery Among Nation’s Heroes. W ashington, July 27.—Near the crest of a swelling slope, where sleep a great company of the dead of many wars, the American government today marked out in Arlington national cemetery a final resting place for William Jennings Brvan. His burigl there late Friday alter noon with simple ceremony will fulfill tus own oft-repeated wish. In life a crusader for peace, he chose in death to lie w-here the tombs of military men look down upon the capital, amid the beauties of the Virginia hills but yet near by the towering memorials reared to Washington and Lincoln. The rifht he thus asserted to a place in the nation's citadel of military dead was liis by virtue of those stirring days of “9.8" when he wore the uniform as a colonel of volunteers. His grave will be in that community of death where sleep many comrades of the Spanish American war. not for from the Dewey manusoleutn and the monument that honors those who died on the Maine. Not all of the plans for Friday’s funeral services had been arranged to night but it seemed certain that the commoner would be committed to liis tomb witji only those ceremonies which are fitting for a plain and humble citi zen. No plans had been made to sound for him the bugle call that’pays a last farewell to the soldier, ndr to heap upon liis bier the pompous tribue of a great government for a fallen leader of the people. Those of his friends who are: doing for him the last earthly service believe he would approve of no funeral program but the simplest. But in other ways, however, the gov ernment and the nation will do what they’are permitted to do to honor him. By direction of President Cooiidge. flags on the government buildings will fly at half mast on the funeral day. His body will lie in state for a time. too. after its arrival here. Thursday morning but it is doubtful whether this final public tribute will be paid in ar.y pub lic building. “HOME PAPER” WEEK IS ESTABLISHED Kansas to Stress Usefulness of Press in Communities. The Kansas State Press Association has set aside a "Home Paper” Week, es tablished to stress the usefulness of the public press, Kansas has no very large daily news papers. and no paper in the state boasts of a circulation over 60.000, Only five ’nave a circulation over 20.000. But Kansas is well represented in rhe weekly newspaper field, having (>OO of them. it also has 00 small dailies. These newspapers, chiefly because; they print news of community interest, go in the homes of the community . An essay by a Kansas school child on the Home Paper is typical of the thought to be advanced during “Home Paper’’ week. “The community deiiends on the home paper and the home paper depends on the community." the essay read. “Any' effort extended by the community to im prove or help the home paper will not have been in vain." Totetey’s Wife Was So Jealous she In (isted His Heroines Be Blond. When Count Leo To’stoy was writ ing his story. "By Accident.” which lie finished only four months before his death, he was forced to ehnnge his des cription of his characters. He had re presented the wife as an unpleasant, tall brunette with shining eyes. At the last minute, lie realized that Countess Tdlsfoy might think it -had been intend-, ed as a jiortrait of herself. So Tolstoy transformed the character into a short." blue-eyed blond. This insane suspicion and jealousy wttich Countess Tolstoy displayed to ward her distinguished husband is fully revealed, for the first time in the diary of V. Bulg:tkov which is in the August McClure’s Magazine. Tolstoy'-s friend and follower. Tchert-’ kov, was the storm center of Countess Tolstoy's hatred. The scenes which she made over the friendship between the two. led Tolstoy to quit liis home. He contracted pneumonia and died m a. small railroad station. Unfit Twain Was Match For Whistler’s Humor. Mark Twain was the only iieeson who ever got the best of Whistler in a bat tle of wits. The great American artist i had vanquished the European htimor rists with biting satire. When one day,’ Mark Twain called upon him in his stu -1 dio. The reau'.ting conversation is told by Don Reitz in bis article on Whistler i in the August McClure's Magazine. Mark Twain wdlked about the studio with an air of stupidity. He paused be fore a nearly-finished painting and ob . served., “Not at, all bad, Mr. Whistler, j Npt'vlUi jaUy’bnilt” >: jJj, j 4..‘AOglxiijtere, pin this cosber,” lie nijidc >'i jmotiftn as if, to rnb the'poinf. ‘T’d do ] away with this cloud,” 1 “Gad, sir," cried \ the painter. “Be carfiful there. Don’t you see that the ’ point is not yet AryT' I , ’’ifever mind.” replied Mark Twain, CTm wearing gloves.” They got on after that. THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE tUMCBAti, SUMMARY Sooth Atlantic League.
