Deafness Cannot be Cured

Deafness is caused by an inflamed con,

poses the nomination of a southern

The American, if able to see itself
as others see it, will be able to discov-
err its own inconsistency. 1t opposed
the election of Hon. H. Clay Evans as
cations that fit him for the Office of
governor in the highest degree. But
he is northern man; the American
opposed his election partly on that ac-
count and has been keeping up its fight
against him since the election.
The governor of Tennessee has moth
ing to do with any sectional questions
that might come up. 1t is to be hoped
that none will come up, but if they
should President might have. The
American bitterly opposed the election
of man as governor of Tennessee,
giving among Its reasons that he was
q northern man and republican; it
seems to be as much opposed to the Sc
lection of southern man, who is a
democrat, for President. 1t does not
say and has not said who among the
northern democrats it wants nomina-
ted; but from occasional paragraphs in
its editorial columns, and this we say
to its credit it is not for either Will
liam Randolph Hearst or for William
Jennings Bryan. But it wants a
northern democrat for the reason that
to select southern democrat as the
candidate Of its party would be Ito

Letters ' !" Editor
Too Much corporate" InfIu-
enCe.

Editor Ne VS.: | want to make a
statement to the voters of Marion
County. / am indeed, very thankful
for the support Of those voters who
were possessed of enough independent
thought and action to cast their bal
lots freely and unbranded by any cor
porate influence. It is now known by
a majority of the voters of Marion
County that / was opposed by the or
ganization of both the democratic and
republican parties, as well as all the
corporations in the county, who are
seeking special privileges and special
legislation. All those men had no
such purposes in view All these in
tiuences at work makes me indeed
proud of the votes / received. 1t also
teaches the voters of Marion County
that both party organizations are in
fiuenced and controlled by corporate in
fuence. Joe Brown, chairman re.
publican executive committee, told
me that owing to the demands of the
corporations he would have to support
Corn, after having pledged his sup
port to me voluntarially. After this
change of front there was perfect har-
mony between the democrat and re-
publican organizations, and Mr.. Corn
was made practically the republican
nominee, as well as the democratic
nominee, not by choice but by subser-
vancy to the corporations.
So the people will have to think for
themselves and vote accordingly.
Corporation lawyers are hired to con
troll politics as well as to represent the
corporations. pride myself on the
fact that l am looked upon in this
county by these influences as not pledg.
ed to do their bidding, or to serve the
will of their hirelings. If I ever shall
represent the people of Marion County
in the general assembly it will be
when the voters vote their sentiments,
and are not misguided by such infiuen
ces.
The issue before the people is no
politics, or democrat and republican
but it is whether the corporations shall
rule or the people, and so far as / an
concerned the fight has only begun.
am democrat when corporations d,
not CONTROL our organization, but whel
they do control l am anything to bea
that organization. If l fail to defea
such an organization l am satisfied

NO SOUTHERN MAN NEED APPLY.
Knoxville Journal g. Tribune. }

Knoxville Journal & Tribune.
Chairman Griggs favors a southern
man as the democratic nominee next
time. He could carry the southern
states, and that about all that have
been going that way in recent years;
but nobody down here is very anxious
to trudge through 'slaughter-house
to an open grave. Nashville Amerl-
can.
Any southern democrat who might
have presidential aspirations and
should ask his party to consider ms
claims to the distinction, would be
trudging Through a slaughetr-house
to an open grave" The conclusion is,
therefore, no southern man need apply.
Why? Is it because there are no
southern men who have the ability and
the character, and the qualifications
fitting them for the great office OF
President? We assume that the Amer
lean would not go so far as to admit
the truth of such a proposition as that.
It must admit that there are southern
democrats who in point of statesman
ship and of individual character are
the equals of those in other sections OF
the country Then why to nominate
one of these would it be to only have
him drudge through a slaughter
house to an open grave. - The only
answer that can or could be made from
the Americans point of view is this;
Because he is a southern MANI Are
a majority Of the voters in the country
democrats If so, then the party mus
be a sectional party, otherwise why
would the nomination of southern
man mean trudging through I
slaughter-house to an open graveP
The plain assumption is that tue par
ty, while assuming to be made up
majority Of the American voters, the.
need not be expected TO vote for
southern man, the objection being tina
he is a southern man. only that an
nothing more. We take it that tn
American, along with nearly ever
other southern newspaper would rath
er support southern man than
as governor of Tennessee and among tn
other reasons it gave why he ough
not to be elected was that he is b
birth a northern man. 1t did what
could TO arouse prejudice against MI
Evans and TO poison the minds of VI
tiers against him, alleging among 9th
er things that he is a nOrther
man. II was not denied and cannot I
sufficiently. that he has many qualii

Parents make terrible mistake in

them good, wholesome reading. They
are very careful about the food for
their bodies; they get healthy, whole

is injurious. II they would exercise
the same care over the minds and
souls of their little ones, how much
better would the world be- Feed their

against the trash that is circulated SO
freely, filled with all.that is bad and

What animal instinct is it in us that
frequently finds q spark of gratiica
tion at the downfall Of one who !. has
been monument of strength and'yet
has failed?
1t may be difficult to accept condi-
tions and adapt oneself to- circim
stances, but there is more comfort in
such an attitude, even considering the
struggle to attain it. than in perpetual
complaint. Nobody has perfect life,
nobody escapes disappointment, even
when there is money to buy anything
with price attached.
To wear a cheerful face when the
heart is aching is not deceit. When a
good housekeeper cleans the front steps
and porch before she sets the house to
rights she does not mean to deceive
passersby. She merely shows some
pride in her house and some consider
alton for her neighbors. We conquer
our heartaches more quickly when we
begin by considering the friends who
are near us. ~
