! To me EdiiOr Ofhs Rs0iH,T:
SIR: In your report Friday morning
Of the meeting OF the Board OF Educa-
ton the following occurs:
The Commissioners from Webster dis
trict recommended the appointment OF
| Miss Clark as teacher To Webster
school. A communication signed By
about fifty residents OF that district.
protesting against the appointment Of
Miss Clark on the ground that she has
not lived here, and that other applf-
cants are daughters u parents wto have
paid school taxes year after year was read
by the Clerk. The local Commissioners
were unanimous in their approval Of the
appointment. One OF them stated that
everv name signed % the petition was
that Of a person who is interested in
some one Of the numerous applicants
for positions as teEchers, and that many
OF the persons who signed are boys II
or 5 years OF age.
The petition referred 20 contained
Just one hundred and three names, not
enc OF whom was directly Interested In
any applicant and perhaps not more
than two or three who were Indirectly
interested. So far as the statement
made by one OF the local Commissioners
that "many Of the persons who signed
we're boys seventeen or eighteen years
Of age"-it Is a Misrepresentation and
absolutely (ialse) untrue. Not a single
name was on that paper but voters and
the majority we're property owners.
We respectfully ask this correction At
your hands, and also beg TO suggest %
our School Commissioners that we still
believe that 10 Is unfair and unjust %
give such appointments 20 non-residents
sf our city, and especially TO one who
never attended at the public schools a
day, IN preference 10 a worthy, we'll
qualified graduate from our own public
schools, whose parents have been tax
payers for many years.

Fight In Ben wood.

Early Saturday morning after ball
In Benwood, two young men had n
night 10 finish, but no arrests were
made. 1t seems the trouble started
from disagreement over the fact that
one OF the young men did not wear "A
boiled" shirt at the dance. Both are
young society men, one OF Benwood,
and the other OF THIS city. Each was
considerably battered up.

In another place we give the full
text of the "local option bill 10 be
introduced at the next legislature.
1t Is what the TIMES has been al
vocatixg ever since the present
management has had control and
is an excellent measure. 1t does
not do away with the "fOur mile
law" now in force in this state and
it allows Incorporated towns to con-
troll such affairs within the city
limits. Many towns would be q
great deal better of If Incorporated
but their citizens will not c0nsen
to this, because of the fact that thu
four mile law applys only to unin
corporaI districts and one maj
man can force a saloon upon com
munity where the Temperance
people are greatly in the majority
This is a most unjust la at preseh
and the proposed bill should b.
passed assit is nothing more thar
justice.

THE F0UR-MlLE LAW OF 1887 TO BE
AMENDED,

The following bill has been pre-
pared and will be introduced du-
ring the next session Of the Legis-
lature of Tennessee.
The immediate work before the
people of the state is to elect a gov
ernor and Legislature that will
pass this bill, and thereby make it
the law of the land.
Two questions will be asked of
each candidate for a legislative
office in the state.
/. If elected to the Legislature,
will you vote in that body for this
bill to become law?
9. Will you so state in the pub
lie press and in your canvass before
the people?
If all the candidates so pledge
themselves in district, then q
friend to the measure is sure to be
elected.
IF one or more refuse to pledge
their support TO the bill, then the
temperance people, without refer.
ence to other political questions or
parties are expected to, and it is be-
lieved will, vote for the candidate
most likely to be elected who will
support the bill.
If all candidates named by other
political parties refuse support to
the measure, then the Prohibition
party will name candidate In that
district aud go in to secure his elec-
ton.
This is a favorable opportunity
for the opponents of the saloon to
unite in one solid effort to secure
effective and practical legislation
on the liquor question.
Prohibitionists hold that it is not
what man says or what name he
wears, but what he does and how
he votes, that determines his loyal
ty to the temperance reform.
If a candidate will work and vote
for this bill, il elected to the Legis.
lature, that makes him friend oil
the measure and worthy the sup
port Of the people.

ISIr ANOTHER ENDORSEMENT

We extend the following inter
esting bit of information from
Tuesdays Washington Post.
Representative John c. Houk, OF
the Secand Tennessee district re.
turned to Washington yesterday
from short trip to his home. He
found here the decision of the
National Republican Executive
committee, written by ]. Fl. Man
ley, confirming the regularity OF
his nomination for congress. II
had been previously approved by
the republican congressional CON-
mittee, but the district congress
ional committe desired the judg-
ment of the general National CON-
mittee upon the contest made by
Judge Gibson against its action in
favor of Houk, and appealed to it.
The action was al most wholly
Unprecedented, and makes Houk's
title to the regular nomination as
complete and indefensible as pos
sible.
The above is clipped from yester-
days Knoxville Tribune. This
morning the editor of the news
hunted up Hon. g. W. Hill, men,

TRAMP PROBLEM.

The growth of the tramp in.
dustry in this country and
the consequently increasing de-
mands made upon the charity OF
our large cities forces to the front
the question of pauperism. What
shall the country do with those
who want work and cannot get it,
and with those who might get it
and won't do it? Those questions
seem to be handled more success.
fully in Holland than in any other
country of the civilized world. In
most other countries these people
are herded together in vast poor.
houses or fed in common soup
kitchens, but the Holland idea is 10
scatter them AS widely as possible
and make all who are able to do il
earn their own living.
The state has a tract of land con-
tanning about five thousand acres
divided into six farms, and every
pei son applying for relief is sent to
one of these. If he be willing to
work and voluntarily sserves until
he has gained some idea of agricuI-
ture he is allowed to rent a small
farm for himself and to be what is
called a Stree farmer" This is a
very practical method Of dealing
with the vexed problem, and one
that is especially adapted to this
cOuntry.-Ex.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1894-07-25

AGAIN the Leader, Houk's organ,
is attempting to deceive the people
and thereby bolster up the waning
cause of Houk by saying that the
National Republican Executive
Committee has decided that Houk
was the nominee. This is only an
other lie. The National committee
has not had meeting and there.
fore could not give decision in the
matter Houk has presented his
side and his aflidavits which he has
fixed up to suit himself, to the
Chairman OF the National Commit
tee and persuaded him, on false
representation, to write letter
saying that Houk Is the nominee.
If Mr.. Manly had taken the trouble
to investigate he would have found
out how many affidavits he could
have got from large majority of
the best men in the district refuting
the doctored ones presented by
Houk. 1t matters not what any
person or persons may say outside
of this district, who only have one
side before them, the people here
know how to run their own affairs,
and who they want for Congress.
