sermon before conference last
Sunday and left for the annual
meeting on Monday night.
Rev. Mcpherson Of Ross Fork
conducted services at the Episco-
pal church on Sunday evening.
He visits this charge the first and
third Sunday Of each month.
Rev. Remington of the Baptist
church will preach again next
Sunday, after which he expects to
leave for his new field. Last Sun
day he preached on the subject Of
sin in general, and intemperance
in particular, showing what a
weight it adds to the ordinary
burdens of individuals and of ma
tons. He called attention to the
fact that every individual who is
idle is a burden to society; that
every individual who eats or
drinks what Injuries his body or
mind, adds to the burdens of soci
ETY., because sooner or later society
will have to care for him or sacri-
fee something by reason of mis-
inability or the mistakes he makes
in whatever lie does. He entered
into politics just a little and
brought out the idea that the Pro
hibitionists, although they may
never elect their ticket, will con-
duct campaigns of education till
stronger and more capable parties
will vie with each other in destroy
ing a product that is always in
demand, that creates demand for
itself, ana which in the course of
time mnst be wiped ont Of exis-
tence to give greater freedom to
the race. Mr.. Remington ex-
pressed sympathy for the drunk
ard, forbearance for the liquor
dealer, and patience for the peo-
pile who are so slow to realize the
they assume in deal
ing with this troublesome question.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

| called Thursday morning al
the suite Of rooms occupied by the
Democratic Congressional commit
tee. Congressman Cowherd and
Col. Edwards have returned from
New York and are pushing things
again. A swarm, bevy or flock of
girls are very busy sending off
cart loads of franked documents.
Another document due to come
from the printers this week is a
franked postal card, about twice
the average size, bearing upon its
back the colloquy that took place
place in the White House between
Congressman Dalzell and John
Sharp Williams, in which Dalzell
remarked with a good deal of en-
ergy that the only hoodlums in the
United States were the foreigners.
A round million Of these will be
sent out and Mr.. Cowherd says it
is ''gravely suspected" that they
win make stir.
It is not betraying any conf
dence to say that the National
Democratic headquarters at New
York are not in entire harmony
with the Congressional headquar-
ters here as to what ought to be
done, the Fifth Avenue magnates
holding that the election Of Parker

Circuit Court has affirmed the
judgment of Mayor Walker in the
beerine cases against Abe Walker.
Judge Maiden understands thor
oughly the significance of these
violations and has the courage to
dispose of them in accordance with
the purpose and intent of law. 1t
has always been our contention
that the Adams law or any other
law is not worth a copper when
violators are allowed to go Scott
free by the courts. They are vir-
tually null and void and the condi-
tions existing with these surround
ings are worse than they would be
with no law at all. 1t is in effect
not only a perversion, but denun-
citation of the law and a criticism
upon those who are responsible for
its existence.

Very encouraging reports are
coming to this Office from districts
all over the county respecting the
Legislative race. Three and
Twelve, which have been claimed
almost solidly by Mcdowell, reli-
able gentlemen tell us that they
believe will be carried by Fry. In
fact this sort of news comes from
nearly all the districts and it is re-
ported by conscientious, reliable
gentlemen from their respective
localities. The fact that twelve
Republicans were allowed to vote
in the Twelfth district convention
for Mcdowell is bearing fruit, and
there are reasons to believe that
these Democrats are not going to
be controlled by his method of
procedure.
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1904-09-23

Our committeeman, Lexie Parks,
makes the most practical and logi-
ical suggestion as a solution to the
Legislative contest we have heard
yet, and it is simply this: There
being no contention over the action
of any of the civil district conven-
tions excepting Nos. 4 and 13, that
a Democratic primary election be
held each in and Is, the defeated
candidate to withdraw from the
race. There could not possibly be
any Objectionable features to this
proposition, and while we believe
as firmly as we believe in anything
on earth that decided majority Of
the delegates IN each of these dis
trict conventions favored Fry, yet a
good Democrat is always willing to
make reasonable sacrifice for the
good of the party, and this we are
sure Fry would do. Mcdowell
could not conscientiously ask for
anything more. Certainly no
Democrat would favor the choos.
ing of Democratic candidate in a
primary election or convention
where Republicans are allowed to
participate. That is practically
what the proposition amounted to
which was submitted by the chair
man of the executive committee at
its last meeting. Districts Nos. 4
and 10 are the only districts in
voIyed in the dispute and why not
let the people Of these districts
settle their own trouble. If Mr..
Mcdowell wants a fair settlement
he could not do otherwise than ac-
cept such proposition as this. If
not, of course bis position would
be we'll understood. Another bal
lot in Nos. 4 and 10 would not af-
feet the vote already cast in the
other districts whatever.

ROOSEVELT AND ABsoLUTIsM

ICES the leading issues in the pres
ent campaign, which appears in al
editorial as follows:
Behind both questions, the Tar
iff and the Currency, stands anoth,
er question larger still; the one.
man power, the one-party power,
hurrying toward Absolutism. II
Roosevelt is elected, he may do to
the Republicans what Cleveland
did to the Democrats; he may sci
himself as bigger and better than
his party, and try to recoup his
lost prestige as a Reformer. In
that event the Republicans will
have a lively split on their hands
in 1908 and the country Will be
able to get a change of parties
without some dire conyulsion.
But, the likelihood is that Roose.
welt, continued in power by the
money of the Trusts and the ma
chine methods of the practical pol
iticians, will turn his back on his
record and proceed to intrench
himself, taking warning not alone
by the fate of Cleveland, but from
sundry and divers historic prece-
dents beginning with the fate of
Tyler.
Zone thing is certain, if Roose-
welt is elected, and does not Tyler
ize himself and his administration,
the great body Of the people the
common, conservative tax payers
will have no such chance, as they
now have, to change their public
administration by ordinary pro-
cess of election. Responsible OPP
position will disappear. The
Agrarian and the Incendiary will
be vitalized. The Radical and the
Extremist will take the place of
and Economists. 1t
may be four, or eight, or twelve
years, but, as surely as comes a
season of famine, as come it will,
just so surely will these men sweep
the country. In system resting
on Universal Suffrage property

servative and enlighted, just and
