In order to stimulate interest in
the agricultural department Of the
fair next week special premiums
of various kinds have been offered.
among which are six cash pre-
miums by W. H. Gardner & Co,
of st. Louis, and several subscrip-
tions to The Commercial which
may be seen in another column of
this paper. This part Of the fair
has never received proper atten-
ton, and for this reason there is a
desire on the part of the officials
to direct attention to a department
which should be equal in impor-
lance to any branch of the fair.
Two successful meetings of the
West Tennessee Fair Association
have been held, improving vastly
in everyway over the exhibition
in 1904 which was held on the
streets before the organization was
effected. On that year was seen
the finest display of agricultural
specimens ever shown as samples
of Obion County product. Wheth-
er this is attributable to bad man
agement or not, is not now mat
ter Of any consequence, but it only
goes to show what Obion County |
can do with the proper encourage
ment, and in view of these facts
several attractive premiums have
been offered for the best samples
in the agricultural department,
for the best corn and
and among other specials
are premiums for pumpkins, Glow
or, seed and baled hay. The aggre-
gate Of premiums on corn is $81,
divided between white and yellow
corn, and aggregate on wheat is
800, including catalogue premiums
for bearded and smooth wheat.

Now and then comes the rnfnor
that a petition is to be circulated
asking Governor Patterson to COM
mute Lee Holders sentence to life
imprisonment or for a lighter pen
atty. Such a paper may material
lze before press day, but we are
not looking for it. Public senti-
ment and the courts have already
passed upon this case without dis
sent, and the verdict of murder in
the first degree is unanimous. The
jury, the Judge and the Supreme
Court justices are all Of one opin-
ion. The crime has no parallel in
the history of the county. Capital
punishment is law in Tennessee,
and no further developments in the
case having arisen since the trial
closed there is no reason why the
law should not be enforced. If
Lee Holder should not hang then
capital punishment in Tennessee
should be abolished. If capital
punishment is wrong then we
must conclude that every man who
shoulders musket in defense of
his country is guilty of crime
against High Heaven. Capital
punishment was not made law
without much thought and delib-
GRAFTON. 1t comes from the wis
dom of ages. True a few States,
sue b as Michigan, Wisconsin,
Rhode Island and Maine, have
abolished capital punishment, so
had New York and Iowa, but the
legislatures of the latter States
were compelled to restore the law
on account of the increase of
crime. So it will be in Tennessee
if the law is disregarded.

In this age of civilization, with
its newspapers, telephones, rural
free mail delivery, and other adj
vantages, putting the remotest
countryman in direct touch with
every other part Of the world,
there is no place for the old jury
law. which requires the juror to
qualify that he has neither formed
nor expressed an opinion in the
case. This law has reached the
end OF its usefulness. 1t is almost
obsolete. Every farmer who has
d home is taking regularly from
two or three to q dozen news
papers and periodicals, and from
this class the jury is made. Many
of the farmers have telephones
and every neighbor hears the lat
est news. So why not nullify the

comfy to useless expense in sum-
moning talesmen for jury We

CHANGING FRONT.

" Competition is the life Of
trade must be discarded, says
Chairman Martin A. Knapp. OF
the Illinois Interstate Commerce
Commission. And further along
he makes the startling announce
ment that the Constant friction
of unbridled competition has be-
come tiresome." This may be all
right for the transportation lines
which are, or should be, subject to
government regulation, if the Of
fielals of these lines do not control
the actions of the government, but
applied in q general way to every
branch of commerce and manufac-
tnre it means opnlence for the few
and servitude for the many. 1t
means the elimination of the ele-
ment known in the country as the
common people, those who earn
an honest and respectful living.
1t means ultimately a wide gulf
between the classes and the masses.
As sure as fate this is the ten
dency. If not so why does not
the trust advocate tell us what the
small investor shall do, what inde-
pendence the skilled mechanic
may ever expect to attain. Victor
Hugo, the greatest writer of
French fiction and a student of the
history of governments, said that
competition inspires a spirit of
and without emulation
there is no progress. A great
between this and Mr..
Knapp's version of the case.
Hugo lived under adverse senti-
ment. He did not cater to power
full influences. Is Knapp doing
so. or is he sincere. We opine
that Hugo's brain weighed few
ounces more than Knapp's and
that Hugo was true patriot.

The Tennessean is right in say

for the masses is to write ones
self a snob and an ignoramus; for
to give, as far as possible, the
higher education to the masses is
the foundation stone of our Amer
lean democracy and of modern
civilization" That there is such a
sentiment in Nashville the Tennes-
sean does not believe. Neither
do we believe there is such a senti-

opposes the pubic school system
is not a desirable citizen. He is

opposed to their interests. The

A SIGNIFICANT RESOLUTION.

The following resolution would seem
clearly to Indicate that there is no
war between the farmers of w est Ten
nessee and the railroads. 1t was
adopted by practically unanimous
vote on Thursday by the Farmer S
Institute of West Tennessee, in ses-
sion in this city, there being present
over thousand delegates, represent
ing every county In the Western divi-
sion Of the state
1t Is significant considered In con-
nection with the agitation In some
neighboring States and more or less
throughout the country, and is tri-
butte to the management Of the rail-
roads in the State, the wise and at
the same time forceful policy of the
State Railroad Commission, and the
conservatism of the people. 1t seems
to very distinctly serve notice TO the
politicians, that, there being no good
reason for it, that a railroad issue in
Tennessee will not be popular, with
the farmers of West Tennessee, at
least.
This is we'll There are real issues
enough without resorting to demago-
gic Efforts to stir up prejudice and
arouse popular passion for political
effects only.
The resolution Is as follows:
Resolved, That we return our sim
cere thanks to the railroads of the
State for their liberality and co-opera-
tion, and take this occasion to con-
graduate the State on the good rela-
lions so long existing between the
people and the railroads in Tennessee
and express the hope that this condi-
tion of peace and mutual helpfulness
may continue indefinitely"
The above is taken from the Jack
son Wings report of the Farmers
Convention recently held at Jack
son.
We hardly think the much talked
Of rate legislation will bob up in
the next State campaign, at least
so far as the passenger fares are
concerned. The last Legislature,
we think, Intentionally or acci-
dentally, displayed good judgment
in refusing to enact two-cent rate
law. The question is now being
tested in the highest courts by
the different states, and ere our
Legislature meets again the courts
of Alabama and Georgia will have
settled the question one way or the
other. The Mobile & Ohio and the
N, c. & St. L. (Grandpa's road, the
best one in the world), both enter
these states, and if they are COM
PEELED at the end of tedious aud ex-
pensive law suits TO put on two
cent rates ia our neighboring
States. then we have not the least
doubt Tennessee will be granted
the same rate.
The State is avoiding the expense,
of gigantic law suits, and our
chance tor cheaper fares is as good
as any otker Southern State.
