THE public wants to know something
more about Mr.. William Wiley Smith,
the modest Tennesseean who first con-
ceived the idea of telegraphing from a
moving train and set Edison to thinking
on that subject. The Tennessean who
reaches distinction by some other means
than politics, deserves the highest com
mendation. 1t has been too much the
idea with ambitious youths Of this sec
ton, that the road to glory lies only in
Office holding. Hence we always have
an over crop of embryo statesmen and
more political wrecks than we know
what to do with We are inclined to
believe that Mr.. William Wiley Smith
is the greatest man in Tennessee. But
who is he and where does he live?

TIE fact has been noted that tie
work Of that dreadful mob in London,
50,G90 strong, seems very tame to
Americans when the loss Of life is con
sidercd. From that point of view it is
a side show compared to the riot they
had in Cincinnati. Some Of our eX-
changes say this is because the british
ers are more careful of life than we are
in this country. That is true, as Il
national attribute, but we cant accept
that theory as to the rioters; Il mob is
careful of nothing. When men go
beyond the law they are seized with the
fury of recklessness. The reason that
so few have been killed during the
London disturbance in comparison to
what might have been expected in an
American city, under similar circum-
stances, is that the English are not as
handy with fire arms as we are in this
country. We couldn' t imagine a man
joining a mob in this country without
a pistol in his pocket, and il the riot
should occur in a Southern, city he
would have shot gun also.

him and the party he was not the kind
OF man to lead int political struggle
but when history lifts the veil and all

grew out OF that campaign have been
