AN ABLE SPEECH.

The Nashville papers with char
acteristic enterprise publish the
full text of Hon. James b. Fra
zier's speech at Winchester. His
Introductory remarks were a com
mentary upon the patriotism OF
free self government, the sturdy
independence of Tennesseans and
the vastness of the wealth produc-
ing resources of the State. After
touching upon the character OF
Tennessee's proud history he pro-
ceeded to annihilate some of the
Republican candidates unwilling
remarks about the cost OF state
government, comparing the adj
ministrations of the two parties
and noting the fact that under u
Democratic policy since 1899 the
state debt is being reduced at the
rate of $1,431 every day in the
year. He euIogized our public
school system and pledged, if
elected, to make a supreme effort
to increase the average length of
time taught from three months to
a full school year and provide
every boy and girl in the state
with a good school. He also
dwelt upon the merits of the uni
form text book law, eulogized the
present prison management and
defended the registration and cleo
ton laws. Upon national issues
he treated at length the subjects
of tariff, trusts, and the colonial
system. Altogether it was the
speech of an orator and statesman,
forceful and full of logic, sound
and replete with facts, exhibiting
the evidences Of character, strength
and splendid achievement which
will mark a new administration.

The Trucker was rather large to

emphasized the necessity of using

VOICE FROM OBION.

Last week we were in receipt of
an open letter from the Mayor of
Obion addressed to DR.. f. M. Nc
Rec, asking if he thinks the time
has ''yet arrived for the valley dis
tricts of Obion County to enjoy
the benefits of a special law and
chancery court at Obion." The
letter was laid aside for advise
ment and consideration. This
courtesy we thought due DR.. Nc
Rec, as the letter was addressed to
him, although mailed to US.
As far as Mayor Morris is per-
sonall y concerned, we are inclined
to treat him and his manuscript
with perfect fairness. But the
first query which came to our
mind was why should the letter
come Just at this time. Why not,
from a good Democratic source,
come before the nomination, or, if
not practicable, then why not have
waited until after the election
Do good Democrats wish to stir
up dgh against the Democratic
nominee? 1ou may say it is not
political question, yet that does
not excuse a Democrat from his
duty to his party, There was
plenty of time before the primary
to ask the Doctor his position.
Do not antagonize him now if he
holds different views from yours.
Wait until after the election anC
then bring all the pressure you
have to bear upon him for any
Legitimate purpose. 1t is YOU
prerogative and privilege and VIZ
guarantee he will make the sam,
concessions then as he will now
Seems to US if the people of Mum
Der Fifteen had taken as much in
terest in the Doctors views befor
the primary or when they went t,
cast their votes as they probabl,
do now his attitude upon all ques
tons would have been we'll under
stood. There has been enough in
ternal strife among the Democrat
OF Obion County. Why can't W
get together and eface the odiun
that hangs over Democratic coun
ty politics. Do we love the part
i less or Caesar more!

FOR STATE SUPERINTENDENT.

Prof. w. H. Cook, one OF the
best educators in the South, is
spoken of very highly by the press
as a most excellent man to succeed
Morgan Fitzpatrick as State SUI
perintendent of Public Instruction.
We would be glad, indeed, to see
Mr.. Cook make the race, and we
understand he has expressed will
lingness to do so. No man in the
State is better equipped altogeth,
er in mental, moral and physical
stature, and not many men would
devote quite so much time nor con-
centrate more energy in the work.
Prof. Cook, carving out his own
destiny, has given his life to teach
ing and the results of his efforts
have been eminently successful
and creditable. His work is we'll
known here amongst his fellow
instructors, and already hos he
achieved distinction as an accom-
plished educator in the summer
Institutes all over the western and
middle portions of the state. This
summer he figured as the most
popular lecturer at the GAINESVILLE
Institute and became easily one of
the leaders in the State Teachers
Association at Monteagle.
BY all means he should be West
Tennessee's candidate and it may
be possible to secure the indorse-
ment of the Middle and Eastern
sections. Few men have better
friends or more of them and
amongst these are the teachers
who will unite in giving him the
strongest Endorsement that can be
obtained. The Commercial is for
Cook against the field and is now
ready to align it's support.

LOOK TO THE LAW.

The old biographies which be-
little Memphis size and popula-
ton, according to the Commercial
Appeal. should be thrown out,
but the uniform text book statute
should not be obliterated. 1t Is
one of the best laws in the State,
saving several millions of dollars
in the course of five years to the
children in the purchase of books.
Let the Assembly amend the law
and provide biographies with the
latest census enumerations and
physical divisions, giving all the
towns and cities their proper
status in growth and advancement.
We see in the uniform text book
law a great forward stride in the
progress of a good school system,
but would prefer to see it torn
to smithereens rather than have
forced upon the schools a lot of
worthless books, out of date and
obsolete. This woull not only
kill the efficiency of the law, but
make it prove damaging and dis
astrous. The law will not be eff
fective without good books. The
citizens of Memphis should not be
Inundated. People of Tennessee
are proud of this great modern
commercial metropolis of the
South and it's rapid expansion in
the world of trade and will toler-
ate no stigma against its fame,
though coming in the guise of re
form.

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

"Tax the Trusts" is the text of
a letter which Senator John Il.
Morgan, of Alabama, has recently
made public and which is likely to
attract considerable attention. The
Senator, after stating in a lengthy
preamble the existing problem,
says: "The plan l would suggest,
in addition to the Sherman law,
is graduated tax on all business
corporations with an exemption,
in whole or in part, as to such as
can establish, to the satisfaction of
the Government, that they are not
engaged in any agreements or
combinations that are intended TO
control the prices, or the cost of
transportation, of commodities
that are of the descriptions that
enter into domestic or foreign
commerce. The power thus ex-
ercised is simply the taxing power
and is not necessarily connected
with the power of Congress tc
regulate commerce between the
states or with foreign countries
1t is the application Of the princi
Piles of taxation, which are wei
settled, to corporations which have
made agreements that violate thu
! purposes for which they wer,
created, to the injury of competi
tive trade and the general wei
fare" The proposition of tn
learned Senator is simple and cas-,
of application. No constitutions
amendment would be required
and no change of the preciou
