Now, as to johnson City being or

In the midst of this city flows small

be made on small scale veritable

On the beautiful hills about this city
are number of natural lakes and grot-

as to o'be made by the skill of man most
beautiful and delightful parks.
These things, together with the pic
turesque scenery aud the pure, exhiler-

The Act. Not the Law.

Governor Cox and the misguided
journals upholding his candidacy are
trying to use supreme court decision
as an eraser to wipe out record. But
it won't erase.
The people of Tennessee are not so
much interested in the legality of the
governors acts when revenue agent as
in the commission of the deeds which
he stands accused of by the legislative
committee. It isn't whether Revenue
Agent Cox acted legally in the tricks
he played on county trustees, but did
Revenue Agent Cox resort to such
scurvy acts?
Some men plead "gaming considera-
tion" to avoid paying money lost in
certain speculative transactions. They
save their purse because of the law,
bnt it is doubtful il they inspire con-
fidence in their good faith.
Others make use of the statute of
limitation to eVsde the payment Of .
debt they know to be just. The law
Rcquits them but the public passes
another verdict.
Under the law Of Tennessee pnbliC
official may despoil the public treasury,
spending the trust fund in riotous liy.
ing or secreting it Stealthily for future
use, and if friends of former days,
through pity, refund the stolen moneys
the law holds the base peculation to be
no crime, but this legal finding doet
not acquit the culprit OF dishonesty il
the opinion of the people.
i SO the people Of Tennessee want M
verdict as to the legality of Governor
COx's acts as revenue agent. The ques
tion Of the governors worthiness Of
unworthinsss is not to be found undel

the act itself. 1t 10 not o law court

Trouble.
The papers published out in the

raise gardens and crops. A herd Of
range cattle will swoop down on such
a tract Of cultivated land. and it 10

The people are demanding that the
next legislative session pass legislar
ton to protect them. II they wait Off
legislative action 1t will more than
likely only give them a wait Of two
years or more, as the range interests
will no doubt be strong enough to get
a provision into such bill to provide
for vote before it comes effective.
The law as 1t stands Is practically an
old enactment, first being passed in
1881 to cover the counties In the ex.
IRENE western end of the state, which
were west of the Great Sioux reserva-
ton, which crossed the center Of the
state from North to South.
In 1888 the law was re-enacted to
include other specific counties which
had been carved out Of tho same ter.
ritory, and in 1901, after statehood.
and a constitutional provision against
special legislation, the law was made
tn cover all unorganized counties and
all counties Of the state organized at.
ter that date, which in effect meant
all the country west of the Mississippi
river.
The same enactment contained the
provision that such law should be In
