CITY MAGISTRATE.

Mayor S. L. Peeler has looked
up The law in regard to the cleo
ton of a city magistrate, which is
SO plain on the subject, that, to
quote his own language, "as to
how the progressive town of Dick
son, with its great number of able
lawyers, can raise a question over
the election | am. unable to see."
The following are extracts from
the laws Of Tennessee bearing on
the subject which are quoted by
Mayor Peeler:
"By referring to sections 427
and 427 of Shannon's code you
will find the following:
wSection 426- For every other
district in the State, which in
cludes a county town, three JUS
tices of the peace may be elected
by the qualified voters therein
"By county town is meant coun-
ty sites; hence, Camden district,
without the town being incorpor-
ated, is entitled to three justices.
"Section 427-For every county
town or incorporated town one JUS
tice is to be elected by the quail
fed voters therein
"The supreme court in constru-
ing these sections of our statutory
laws, said: These provisions give
the district which includes such
town an additional justice of the
peace, who shall reside in the town
and be elected by the qualified
voters thereof; for instance, dis
tricts including county towns are
thus entitled to four justices of
the peace, three for the district at
large, and one within the county
town proper C Pickle 1929
"The repeal of the act incor-
porating town, or of its charter
of incorporation, does not remove
from Office the justice of the peace
elected by the town, but only de-
prives it of it's power of election
in the future. GIG Lea, 486, 400
and 1917
This, will set all doubts in the
matter at rest. Our comments on
the Dickson mix-up last week was
suggested by communication on
the subject, which, unfortunately
met with All accident as we were
preparing togo, to press, and we
deemed it necessary to have the
matter fully settled before the
day Of the election.
We have two communications
on this subject, but oar space is
two limited to use them. In one
very pertinent query is asked,
and that is: "Inasmuch as our
town has an efficient recorder, who
is clothed with magisterial power,
why the necessity of an addition
al magistrate?" The question is
open for discussion,

The Private's Uniform.

There is something good in the defense
which Rear Admiral Evans CFighting Bob)
sets up for the bluejacket and his sailor
suit. The average civilian holds the uni
form of the private soldier or sailor In small
esteem. A body of soldiery or seamen calls
for applause. Handkerchiefs wave, hands
clap and throats roar Fine body Of men"
everybody says. Let that same fine body
of men" break ranks. and every ranker in
1t becomes an outcast. There Is NO reason
In this.
The proudest boast Of some of the most
conceited men and women in the country Is
that between 123 and 100 years ago thew
had an ancestor who was a private soldier
in the army OF the United States The en-
listed men. long way back in the years.
Is a much more imposing figure to some
persons than the enlisted man today. But
the common soldier Of the present is az
good a man In peace or war; In field or
barrack, as the common soldier of any
other time.
II sailor or soldier happens to be drunk
and disorderly. call the police. or, better
still, treat him as drunken clubman Is
treated-call a cab and send him to his
quarters. II the sailor or soldier Is sober
and orderly, treat him as he is.
The enlisted man in the matter Of morals
and habits will measure up with his broth
ers In civil life. In intelligence. character
honesty and civility he measures large. He
is good fellow. bright, jovial and fair

exception and not the rule. Nearly all COM
mands are composed Of men who in civil
life would pass as very decent fellows. In
every command more OF the men are above
the average than below it-many more OF
them are fine chaps than dissolute rowdies.
Contrary to popular belief in civil circles,
the enlisted man In any branch of the serv-
ice has more to learn in his business than
the average clerk or artisan must learn.
The army and navy need men. The service
would possibly get more of them II many
likely recruits were not deferred from en-
listing by the ostracism visited upon en-
listed men. Disrespect to the national flag is
a heinous offense. while disrespect to the
national uniform is the usual thing.
1t may be said here that no dread dis
ease necessarily turks in the priyates or
the ''non-coms" uniform. The material in
the blues" the ''olive-drabs" and the
khaki is good stuff, and in camp and
barracks is kept clean.

Party Divisions and Results.

The recount demanded in the close legis-
latlve districts in Maine will not affect the
general result. A republican majority in
the Legislature is assured. and Mr.. Frye
will succeed himself in the Senate.
How overshadowing the temperance ques-
ton was in the Maine campaign appears in
several things, but in nothing palmer than
in the legislative returns. Mr.. Fryes seat
was in the scale. and the people of the
state without regard to party very
proud of him. He has served them so long
in the Senate, and with so much dstinc-
ton, his name is held in the greatest re-
spect Union labor made no fight on him
And yet In the face of the fact that a
democratic Legislature would mean the re-
tirement of this popular man, a number
of districts heretofore republican elected
democratic representatives. Everything was
lost sight of by the opponents of prohibit
ton but the desire to secure a legislature
favorable to their views on the liquor oues-
ton. The democratic strength in both the
senate and house is greater than for years.
Something of this kind happened in Mis-
souri, two years ago. Mr.. Cockrell. then in
the Senate and a candidate to succeed him.
self. as popular with his people as Mr..
Frye is with his. Nobody dreamed of his
defeat. The republicans did not think ii
possible. but made particular play for state
offices and seats in Congress. But to their
surprise. well to that of the demo-
Gratis, they carried the legislature along on
the tide of their success, and Mr.. Cockrell
met defeat. The Bryanites, thinking only
of their betrayal at st. Lous-with which
Mr., Cockrell had nothing to do-slaugh-
tered their favortc senator with the Par
ker outfit. IL was one of the sensations OF
the campaign. and marked the predomi-
nance of the democratic protest against the
surrender of the party to the eastern in
fuences.
Strange things happen when the voters
are profoundly stirred and party lines grow
slack. At such times old cries are in vain,
and organization influences go for nothing
The people will have it out with the men
and measures they have blacklisted. and
IT often happens that in the exercise OF
their resentment they infiict injury where
it was not intended. 1t is this fact that
lends 50 much anxious interest to all of
this years campaigns. Party divisions are
everywhere. and friends as well as foes
may suffer when election day arrives. The
ike OF the situation. viewed from any
standpoint, was never before presented in
this country.
