The Obion County Court ha:
very fortunately selected two men
as county road commissioners who
are best qualified for that work.
There were a number of candidates,
all good men, but if the county
had been searched from one end to
the other it is the concensus of
opinion that two men better adapt
ed and qualified for the work in
any possible way could not be
found than the two who are now the
road commissioners. H. L. Cur
lin for the northern division and
j. M. Campbell for the south
ern division are the men nam
ed by the County Court La st
Monday for these i'm portant
places. The positions are impor-
tant because they involve new
ideas, new plans, new methods
and new laws on the improvement
of our highways. The Kenney
road law is good one, as we stat
ed before Notwithstanding adverse
criticism, and the change from
sixteen district commissioners to
two county commissioners has in
creased its merit. The measure
was published in this paper when
and it has been very
read. With two such
men as these and a good road law
with ample appropriations for
roads and bridges why should we
not have good roads. A very high
Endorsement of our road law was
made when the Weakly County
representative introduced SINH
ar measure for that county. Our
senator, Representative and men,
,ers Of the County Court are all Ito
% congratulated in the passage,
adoption and election of commits
toner's in conformity with the law.

The Governors special message
is short, but it is full of pith anc
point. He emphasizes the impor
lance of Legislation in the interes
of our schools, a reduction of tht
number Of challenges in crimina
cases, q pure food law and law
effectnally preventing the issuance
and acceptance of free pass BY
any public official. He recon
mends the much needed reform in
tax assessments, thereby saving
the necessity of back assessments.
He wants State auditor to exam
inc banks, and last but not least
the appointment Of election COM
missioners taken out of the hands
of the Governor.
All these things are to be hearth
ly indorsed, everyone of them.
But there is trailer on the last
subject which effectually killsevery
Nvestige of proposed reform. We
mean the appointment of election
commissioners. He recommends
that the Legislature provide for a
State commission to be appointed
by the Governor and the commits
sion to be authorized to make the
appointment of county election
commissioners. What bloom
ing farce. A commission appoint
ed by the Governor In effect
this is an approval Of the very
thing which Governor Patterson
used as his principal argument
against the reelection of Governor
Cox. Ii it was wrong for Gov
ernor Cox to have the election
machinery in his hands ls it right
for Governor Patterson to have
the same authority. What is the
difference between the appointment
of county election commissioners
by the Governor and the appoint
ment of the commissioners by al
State commission named by the
Governor. "A rose by any other
name Is this Governor Pat
terson's pretended sincerityg |
If this recommendation is adopt
cd the same argument could be
used against Patterson for renom-
nation that was used against Cox.
IL the State commissioners are
to be named as a substitute until
the regular election then we with.
draw these comments.
