alleged boss.
''It has been the custom in republic
can state conventions for many years
TO elect Mr.. Brownlow permanent
chairman of the convention. The
next step has perpetually been to pass
a resolution authorizing the chairman
to appoint twelve members Of the exec
utive committee from the state at large,
and this very feature is the secret of
the bossism that has dominated repub-
lican politics in the state of Tennessee
since shortly after the time when W.
P. Brownlow walked into the state and
opened his political shop.
"Under the party organization each
Of the ten congressional districts elects
two members of the state committee,
making thereby twenty members. Mr.,
Brownlow by his appointing power
delegated to him names twelve others,
thereby giving him within five of a
majority of the whole body of thirty
two members. These twelve members
at large are without exception mere
creatures of the boss and in many in
stances are men who could not be
elected by district convention to any
position.
at is conceded that Mr.. Brownlow

8. The fencing. II there are yard
fences at all there must be some regu-
larity and uniformity as to material
and style of construction. The owners
of lots on any given block, or square.
should agree upon the material used
and the style of construction. The
fencing, like the alleys and the lawns.
furnish the trimmings to residence
place. The fencing should, therefore.
be uniform and artistic as can be af-
forded.
0. The sewerage. No more essential
thing can be mentioned in building g
city beautiful than it's sewerage. Just
so long as city will not provide means
for the draining of her lots, streets and
alleys of surface and surplus water,
stops, ETC., just so long will that city
be handicapped in her efforts to become
beautiful and attractive city. Large
sums of money may be expended on
streets, residences, lots, etc., in beau
tifying city, but without well-plsn.
ned and well-worked sewerage system,
there will be goose ponds, mud holes,
cess pools, obnoxious misquito incuba-
tors, uncomely gullies and muddy
streets and alleys to greater or less
extent eveilastingly. A city can not
make more profitable investment than
to establish good sewerage system.
1t will be Of inestimable value-finan-
cial, sanitary, beautiful.
10. The public buildings. The pub
lie buildings of any city go very far
toward determining the ability, the
taste and the enterprising spirit of her
citizenship. The public buildings,
such as the church houses, school
buildings, postoffices, courthouses and
other public buildings of the city

GOES AFTER LITTLE BOSS.
John H. Early Discusses Congressman
Walter P. BF8wnlOW.

"While cities and states are falling
in line with the popular idea of reform
which has swept politicians and politi.
cal parties from their moorings, the
republican party in Tennessee would
do we'll TO take lesson and profit
therofrom," said John II. Early to a
Chattanooga Times reporter when dis
cussing at length his "antidote for
bossism" in the party.
Mr.. Early 10 a member Of the state
republican committee by reason of hav-
ing been elected by his partisan in the
Third congressional district to repre-
sent them in that body. The other
member from this district is J. @.
Hale, Of Winchester. OF late Mr..
Early has come into increased promi-
nence in state republican politics, hav-
ing been prominently mentioned as q
possibility in the race for district
attorney. He is at this time greatly
interested in the rescue Of his party
from one man domination and gave to
the reporter general outline of plan
which he believed would accomplish
that result. He said:
THINKS WHOLE SYSTEM WRONG.
"The present system of choosing the
members Of the state committee is
nothing but an effective scheme whose
sole purpose it is to perpetuate the
ascendency Of Congressman Walter P.
Brownlow. A public statement of the

According to my best information
Tennessee is the only state in which
any political party is thus bOss.ridden.
1t has not been for one year or during
one campaign that this condition of
affairs has existed in this state, but it
has been since the first time that
Walter P. BrOwnlow' sought political
power by virtue of his bearing the
name of his distinguished distant rela-
tive, the late governor and United
States senator, W. G. BrownIow, of
Knoxville Wing fame.
''It IS within the power OF the party
in Tennessee to shake off this yoke Of
servitude to one greedy politician and
1t can be done this year. Let the next
convention refuse to delegate this ap-
pointiye power to the chairman and
cause all committeeman to be named
by district constituents and the power
Of the boss will be gone. If the COM
mittee Of twenty members is not large
enough, let it be increased so that three
or even four be elected by each con-
gressional district. By all means make
the committeeman elective and there
will be no possibility OF boss in the
state. ."-Chattanooga Times.

beautiful will be looked after with keen
interest and great concern. The pub
lic buildings should be on par or better
than the very best Of other buildings
Of the city. Church buildings should
be commensurate with the number and
ability Of their membership, and should
always be clear and attractive. Public
school buildings, especially, should be
the pride of the city, and this is especi-
ally true in the city beautiful. The
school rooms should be large, giving
ample room for every pupil from to
81 in the city. Over crowded school
rooms we're justified, perhaps, in the
pioneer days of our country, but we
have passed that period, aud we have
now the ability, financially, to build
beautiful and commodious school
rooms and to furnish them with every
useful and attractive facility for the
development of our children's heads,
hearts and bodies, and in this impor.
tant and splendid work there should be
no stint or selfish Withholding, because
by so doing we impede the progress of
the highest, the best and completest
development of our children. Every
school-room should be living object
lesson of beauty and inspiration as
we'll as a store house of book learning.
Our children take up more of the ell
ements of which their characters are
formed by absorption and association
than by almost any other means.
