JOHN WESLEY GAINES
Representative In Congress from Ten-
nessee 47 Years Old Today
John Wesley Gaines a striking fig-
ure of the National house of repre-
sentatives for the past twelve years
was born In Davidson county Tennes-
see August 2418C1 He was educat-
ed in the public schools and became a
schoolmasjfix He was graduated
C S0TW
from Vanderbilt University as a doc-
tor of medicine but never practised
as a physician Instead he took up
the study ot law and began the prac-
tice of that profession in Nashville
He became interested in politics and
in 1892 was a presidential elector on
the Cleveland ticket In 1897 he was
elected to congress on the democratic
ticket in the Sixth district of Tennes-
see From the first he attracted at-
tention on account of his proneness
to speak on questions before the
house and his invariable radicalism
on all public questions He was reg-
ularly reelected to congress until the
present year when he was defeated
in the primaries by Joseph Byrnes a
Nashville lawyer
A Grand Spectacle
One of the most thrilling inspiring
spectacles confronting the thoughtful
individual is that of a young vigor-
ous healthful man of average intelli-
gence as he stands on the threshold
of life indifferent to the past prodi-
gal as to the present and full of
speculative hopes of the future Hes
a jewel the countrys hope a grand
link binding together the lovelight of
the past and the gilded fringes of
the morning of life Oh how we feel
like putting an arm around him draw-
ing close up and whispering in his
large furry ear of the pitfalls along
the way and warn him of the errors
into which we who are older have
fallen
If we could only show him the evils
of whiskey tobacco and debt
Dont talk back to us we know
But will he listen Some times
Then how solicitous we become
when we see the rich red blood leave
his face and he grows pale and with
upprice SI25
