THE MAN OF INDEPENDENT MIND.
. Robert Burns the Scottish poet was
a peasant but In spite of the handicap
of poverty his genius waa recusuum
by people of the highest rank and he
was often invited to social functions
to entertain the guests with his brill
iant conversation ana impromptu
poems. On one occasion of this kind
a very select affair Instead of being
given a seat at the table with the
titled ue3ts he was assigned to a
place at a side table. Resenting the
discrimination and boiling with indig-
nation instead of eating his dinner he
spent the time composing one of his
best poems in the Scotch dialect 'A
Man'B a Man for a' That" and when
the wine began to flow freely and he
was called on he recited it to the as-
tonished company. The spirit of this
immortal pcem la expressed in the
sentence:' 'The man of independent
mind is king of men for a' that."
What a pity it is that all men have
not the spirit of Burns! If they had
all men v.ould be free for it Is impos-
sible to deprive "the eternal spirit of
the changeless mind" of its liberty.
The man who san look up to heaven
and feel that he has no superior be-
tween himself and his God la the only
free man; all others are slaves.
W call this a free country but is it
so while there are thousands who are
eo servile in spirit that they accept
without question the ipse dixit of a
frail mortal like themeslves because
he has impressed them with an ex-
..n..o rnnrontlnn of his own tranr-
cendent importance? To the man of
Independent mind such servility is dis-
gusting. And this is not the worst of
it: it is dangerous and if not checked

himself and he owes it to his friends
to make the fight As an opponent of
what he stands for we sincerely hope
he will run because it is best that the

than the democratic party. In 1908 the

mottoes on the wall was one which

a common Idea among most men that
they could run the local paper mucn
better than the editor. To almost the
anme extent the idea urevails among
town men that farmers ao not nan
work their land; that if a man would
take hold on 'business principles'
farmlnir could be made to yield a for
tune. The average man needs a course
at both newspaper work and farming
before he can change these ideas.
It u hard for some people to under
stand that all the readers of The Eagle
are not interested in their personal
affairs or in what interests them for
personal reasons. It is also hard ior
some to appreciate that every line of
a newspaper has a money value. aum
people cause much annoyance by ask-
ing to have things published that
would interest tew n any out mem-
selves.

"Oh he's a backwoodsman whom the
black republicans put up to run

the politicians. After a pause ne
added: "It was the best they could
do. But to think of running Abe Lin
coin for president! Ha! ha! -ha!"
Several others loined In the laugh
The newspapers throughout the South
at flr3t took the nomination of Lincoln
as a Joke and the wits of the press
and of the political platform had no
end of fun exaggerating his peculiar
ities and holding him up to rmicuie.
But before the election their tune
changed and first uneasiness and then
alarm became the keynote.
These reminiscences are recalled by
reading this paragraph in a character
sketch published in the Cincinnati
Enquirer:
"Governor Thomas R. Marshall of
Indiana better known In Indiana as
Tom Marshall is an original charac-
ter. He is as individual as Abraham
Lincoln and resembles him in many
respects. His sayings smack of his
native soil. He was never in politics
and never held office until elected
governor in 1908 but he takes to pol-
itics as a duck takes to water. Who
ever paw an Indianian that was not a
good politician? But Tom Marshall is
more than that for he has displayed
great abilities as governor and is
giving his state a model administra-
tion." Three year3 ago Thomas R. Mar-
shall was a country lawyer in an ob-
scure town in Indiana with only a
local reputation. Not much is said
about him as a presidential candidate
now but he may loom up large In the
national democratic convention next
year. He is a scion of the historic
Virginia Marshall family.
The Eagle predicted trouble when it
was announced that the Ninth cavalry
a negro regiment was coming to San
Antonio and this prophecy was veri-
fied yesterday. Several of the negro
soldiers entered the room for the
whites in a street car and when or-
dered to go into the negro compart-
ment they beat up the conductor.
There is too much brute in the aver-
age negro to make it safe to trust him.
