Route Is Surveyed.

Huntsville. September 12.-(Special)-
The surveying corps of the Nashville and
Huntsville railroad has finished the work
of fixing the exact route between Hunts
Vile and Nashville, and it includes Elk
ton, Lewisburg Chapel HILL Eaglevlle,
Triune and Nolensville. Thomas p. Hooper
a member of the surveying party, has
returned to his home In Huntsville after
spending forty days on the work. Mr..
Hooper was impressed by the prosperity
of the section through which he passed
and believes there is no doubt that the
new railroad will be a paying investment.
The people along the line are so en-
thusiastic over the prospects Of having
railroad that they received the sur
veyors with honors at every point and
entertained them lavshly. The camping

SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS

To the Voters of jefferson County:
I have read with interest a publication
in the city papers entitled: Judge Greene
on Rotation in Office" and purporting to
express the views of that most worthy
gentleman on the subject named.
The publication in question is signed by
Kinds Peevy, chairman Higdon campaign
committee, and, of course, Is intended as
campaign document to catch votes. No
doubt the views therein expressed were
entertained by Judge Greene at the date
Of original publication, April 10. 1904, at
which time Judge Greene was candi-
date in opposition to Judge Stiles for the
probate judgeship Of Jefferson county As
a campaign document issued by one OF
the most popular and highly esteemed men
IN Jefferson county, who had served his
people most acceptably as judge of the
criminal court at inadequate compensa-
ton, and by that service had won the
right to promotion, 1t was an effective APP
peal to the voters. However, sincerely
Judge Greene may have entertained
those views two years ago. when he was
seeking promotion, 1t does not follow that
he holds the same views now So the
effort. to use Judge Greene's honorable
and powerful name to support the falling
fortunes of another candidate, not only
does him great injustice, but should be
resented by his friends and supporters
Does Colonel Higdon presume that he Is
the equal of Judge Greene in anyway?
But aside from the mere question of ro-
tation in office. the situation is entirely
different. The proposition for the people
to consider and answer Isl Shall Jefrer-

merce law by the Elkins Law. This same
amendment had been presented in sub
stance in the House by Congressman
James of Kentucky and had ben de-
feated by republican votes. The bill was
further improved by an amendment pro-
posed by Senator Culberson of Texas, for
bidding the use of passes and 1t would
have been still further improved by the
amendment proposed by Senator Bailey
of Texas limiting the court review, but
the railroad influence was strong enough
to defeat this amendment.
viii Have Struggle.
81 have no idea that the railroads are
going to permit regulation without a
struggle and fear that their influence
will be strong enough to very much de-
lay If not entirely defeat remedial legis-
1ation You In this state know some
thing of the railroad i'm politics, When
l visited the state and spoke for Mr..
Goebel / heard him charge upon every
platform that the railroads were spend
ing large sums in opposition to his cleo
ton, and | have always believed that
the railroad influence was largely re-
sponslble for the assassination of that
brave defender Of the rights of the peo-
pie. Another reason which has led me
to favor government ownership is the
fact that the people are annually plumber
ed of an enormous sum by eXtortlonate
rates. that places are Disseminated
against and individuals driven out of bus
mess by a favoritism shown by the rail-
roads. You say that all these things can
be corrected without interference with
private ownership. | shall be glad If eX-
perience proves that they can be- but /
no longer hope for 1t. President Roose-
welt although expressing himself against
government ownership. has announced
that only successful regulation can pre-
vent government ownership. Is there any
democrat who is not willing to go as far
as President Roosevelt and admit the
necessity of government ownership since
the people are convinced of the failure
of regulation? | cannot believe It.
Then while we attempt to make reg
ulation effective. while we endeavor to
make the experiment under the most
favorable conditions. namely, with the
democratic party IN power, let us not
hesitate to inform the railroads that they
must keep out of politics; that they must
keep their hands off of legislation; that
they must abstain from interfering with
the party machinery and warn them that
they can only maintain their private con-
troll of the railroads by accepting such
regulation as the people may see fit to APP
ply In their own interest and for their
own protection Without this threat, our
