SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES.

The Tennessee Anti Saloon League,
for reasons best known to its members,
have decided not to further oppose the
remission of the Jail sentences OF hoy
Webster and Max Heilbronner, the men
convicted of opening saloon IN viola
ton of the Adams law at Union City.
A strong effort has been made to IN
duce Gov. Frazier not to remit the SEN
fences of these men, and 1T was SAID
at one time that the League would get
up petitions to this effect. A commit
tee called upon the Governor last week
to protest against clemency, bat now
the matter is to be dropped.
The action of the League is shown IN
the following resolutions, which were
adopted Tuesday:
Resolved, That, in view of.some spe-
cial circumstances which have come to
our knowledge. we withdraw our pro
test against the remission of the jail
sentences in the cases of Messrs. hoy
Webster and Max Heilbronner, convict
ed of having violated the Adams law
Resolved, That this action is not to be
construed as indicating any disposition
on our part not to prosecute to the
fullest extent any future violators of the
law
TENN. ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE,
Edgar E. Folk,
Pres. and Acting SUIT. A. s. League
Nashville, Tenn, Aug. IL, 1903
The above is taken from the Nash
vile American. The especial cir
cumstances'' causing this unusual
procedure upon the part of the League
President, are doubtless good. But
don't you think, Mr.. President, that
the leaguers over the state are en-
titled to know what they are? These
circumstances" must be very especial"
indeed, to warrant such action, and
the rank and file of the league would
feel better satisfied to know them. In
such matters confidence in the people is
the best policy. Anything like secrecy
upon the part of the leaders, breeds dis
trust.

The Poet And The Trotter.

Trotwood takes a great interest IN
the career of Billy Buch, the horse that
has swept everything before him on the
Grand Circuit this year, Gaping his
victories by carrying off a $1,000 stake
at New York last week. The fact is, the
trotter was born neighbor to the poet,
down in Alabama and browsed
in early youth on the bluegrass plots ,
that poetic license has located in that
region. Billy has won thirteen races
all told, and TO the best of Trotwood
knowledge and belief, has never lost a
heat. 1t is all the more remarkable
that he has done this without a
drop of Hal blood in his veins; but
then he had the "Silent Man TO
hold the reins and show him the way
to the wire,
On the strength of his brilliant per.
formance. Ed Geers has sold Billy
Buch to E. E. Smathers, the millionaire
horseman of New York. Billy, VIII

Referring to the recent disgraceful
proceedings of the Tennessee Press
Association gang at Nashville, tlfe
Banner says:
but there is still too much OF a
disposition to regard membership in
the assocj alton as claim to ENJOY
ments and advertisements which de-
stroy all zest in business proceedings.
The new association has provided for
separate meetings for business. This
IS wise, and strenuous effort should
be made to have these meeting OF a
strictly business character, removed
from the diversions and begullements
which have so long characterized the
associations meetings. In this regard
the start under the new regime can
hardly be said to be encouraging, when
the new association. after Its trst
meeting, hurried off to De entertainer
by a brewery. A true spirit OF reform
would suggest that this class OF enter
ta,nments be resolutely discouraged.
If banquetting be considered necessary
IT were better that the association pro-
vide its own social functions and
maintain a disnlty that is disregarded
when it accepts hospitality that may
be construed to the dlsparagement OF
the press.

David Bennett Hill, speaking before
n vast assemblage of people at Olcott
Beach, New York, Wednesday, said:
"Mob violence is not rendered less objec-
tionable even If it be true, as frequently
asserted, that unless it shall interpose
it's strong arm, the guilty may escape
punishment through lax administra'
ton of the criminal law, or indifference
to it's enforcement on the part OF the
people themselves. The very excuse
offered is reflection on the community
itself where the crime has been commit
ted, and the remedy lies, not in the
people themselves overriding the law
but in the people upholding and enforce
inc the law and in an appeal to their
patriotism, their good sense, their innate
love Of justice ard respect for order,
Qualities which are seldom, II ever, in
yoked in vain. We cannot permit this
Government to become a mobocracy
which acts upon impulse, feels no re-
straint and recognizes no appeal from
lbs hasty preiudgment. Crimes which
can only be punished by such irrespon-
sibIe tribunals as mobs might as well
not be punished at all, because IN the
end the remedy will be found to be
worse than the disease"

TEMPERANCE IN THE SOUTH

Under this head the Nashville Ban
ner says:
Tine spread Of temperance seDti-
ment in the South il just beginning to
attract the attention OF the Northern
press. and seems to elicit some sur
prise. the prevalent idea seeming 10 be
that the South Is given over to law
Iessness and consequently to indul-
gence in strong drink. IL is supposed
among certain classes in the North
that the moonshiner represents one
element of Southern society, and the
old time Southern Colonel with the
hospItabls decsnter always open on
his sideboard, the other element, and
TO these Norhern classes. ignorant OF
Southern conditions. the reports OF the
progress of prohibition in the South
hsve been a revelation.
The New Voice. Temperate organ
published in Chicago. shows mat III
the entire South there are only "a. 600
licensed saloons, while in New YORK
City alone there are "a. 900. The New
Voice shows also the situation In
eleven Southern states of which Ten
nessee and Georgia may be taken as
samples. In this state. the Voice
says, out OF 8, 500 cities and towns.
only eight have unrestricted sale OF
liquors.
I'm only twelve of the ninety SIX
counties of Tennessee can whisky De
sold legally. In Georgia one
hundred and three counties out of 137
have prohibition.
1.-The Literary Digest of the present
week gives some currect opinion rs TO
the cause of the growth of temperance
sentiment In the South. MIR. Alonzo
E. Wilson, Chairman OF the state
Prohibition Committee of Illinois,
believes that the progress OF prohioi-
ton in the South is largely que to
the constantly increasing feeling that
llouor must be kept away from the
neg 70, and he says further that there
are few foreigners in the South. ana
native Americans, as rule, believe
10 temperance theories. The Calves
ton News says the growth Of prohibi-
ton In Texas has been caused by the
failure OF liquor dealers to ohey just
and reasonable regulations attaching
to their Incense. There Is much
truth and force In this statement. The
same cause has operated, and Is still
operating in Tennessee. The dispon'
ton of the saloon. keepers to evade the
Sunday closing laws, and the fact that
many saloons are but foil for gamb-
ling houses, have aroused resentment
against the liquor traffic in Tennessee
that, as much as anything else, has
given impulse to temperance leglsla-
ton and theatens even stricter laws
in the future.

CINNABAR, Mont, April 17.-PresI-
dent Roosevelt left Major Pitchers
camp at Fort Yellowstone this morning
for Fort Norris, where he will spend most
Of the remainder of his stay in the park.
The geysers are in the neighborhood of
Norris. II he has time he also will visit the
Falls of the Yellowstone.
The president has decided that he cannot
accept the wish Of the labor unions to refrain
from riding on the Union Pacific because
OF a strike on that line. His itinerary was
arranged months ago, and much as he de-
sires to favor the union men, he cannot dis
appoint thousands Of people by changing
his plans at this late day.
No news has been received from the
president since he left early this morning
for Norris. As the trail had been made
passable in the worst places II is supposed
that he reached his destination safely.
During the last two or three days Of his
stay in the park the president will be Joined
by Secretary Loeb and the other members
Of the party.
The plan for him to spend a day in the
Black Hills has been abandoned, owing to
the impossibility Of d~isarranging the pro-
gram as already arranged. An hour will be
spent at Edgemont, where the president
will be given an old-fashioned cowboy re-
ception.
