town of LaFollette, is not here
noted. 1t might also have been
stated that liquor selling in Nash
vile is restricted to the uptown
district, and high license required.
MIR. Lissner says further in his
article politicians in the South
have come to a realization that the
prohibition movement ia their
region is one which must be taken
with the utmost seriousness. The
poIitico-temperance crusade with
its new life and energy, consti-
tutes the most startling develop
ment in Southern politics to-day.
The advocates of compulsory alb
stinence are growing more power
ful day by day. The movement is
not so much against the consump-
ton of whisky and other alcoholic
beverages as against saloons, rum
shops, and the like"
The enforcement of the poll
ticians from the saloon element is
indeed one of the most noticeable,
as it is one of the most wholesome
results of the temperance move
ment. Temperance sentiment and
prohibition laws are by no means
SO new thing in the South as our
Northern friends have supposed.
The ''four-mile law" that is, the
law which forbade liquor selling
in four miles of an incorporated
school, went into effect in Tennes-
see more than thirty years ago,
and the gradual extension of that
law has produced the almost total
prohibition that prevails in the
State to-day, but it is only recently |
that the saloon has ceased to be a
power in politics. and that the
professional politician class have
found it good policy to forswear
all connection with the saloon ele-
ment. 1t was the baneful lnfiu-
ence of the saloon in politics more
than any other one cause, prob
ably, that brought the aroused
public hostility to the liquor traffic.
1t was from this that Mr.. Lissner
gathered his impression that the
is more against the
rum-shops than the consumption
Of liquors. That is true to large
extent, but a real prohibition SEN
.iment also prevails as evidenced
by the active warfare in many
Tennessee communities on ''the

WHY NOT A SOUTHERN MAN.

The suggestion, coming origi-
nally from northern Democrats,
that the party should nominate a
southern man for the Presidency
in 1908 is being most seriously dis
cussed both North and South.
While the section lately under the
civil war ban is neither insistant
nor aggressive in the matter it can
we'll be imagined that it would APP
preciate such an honor and would
furnish a list of eligibles from
which could easily be selected a
man who would measure up to
every possible requirement axact-
ed by the Northern wing of the
party, and at the same time pos
sess oil er qualifications which
would be most commendatory and
which might possibly not be found
in a candidate from the section
from which all our candidates
have been taken since the days of
James X. Polk. Taylor was a
Southern man, but was nominated
by the Wings in 1913 and died in
the early part of his term. In
1852 the party nominated Frank
lin Pierce, of New Hampshire; in
1856, Buchanan, Of Pennsylvania;
in go, Douglas, of Illinois; in '64,
Mcclellan, of New Jersey; in '68,
Seymour, Of New York; in ~,
Greeley, of New York; in '76,
of New York; in 'S4, Cleve
land, of New York; in 'S8, Cleve
land; in '92, Cleveland; in '96,
Bryan, of Nebraska; in 1900, Bry-
an and in 1904, Parker, of New
York. So it can be seen that it
was many years before the civil
war that the party named its last

TRANSPORTATION
MUCH IMPROVED
Visitors to Jamestown Will
Have Splendid Facilities
for Sightseeing.

Norfolk, Va, June S.-Realizing that
to a great extent, the success of an
exposition, depends on the efficient
transportation facilities, both local and
otherwise, the street car systems of
Norfolk and the surrounding cities of
Underwater Virginia, have approved
plans for the expenditure of some $500,
600 for the general Improvement of
their various lines, which will insure
a quick and reliable service between
these cities and the Jamestown Ter
Centennial exposition, to be held on the
southern shores of Hampton Roads,
from April 90 to Nov. Goth, 1907.
Foremost among these improvements
is new and modern powerhouse. being
erected by the Norfolk & Portsmouth
Traction company at an expense of
$4,000 which will supply power to
all of the lines belonging to this COM
pany for the improvement of its tracks,
overhead construction, trestles. bridges,
etc. and negotiations are being made
for the purchase of one or more steam
ers of 1900 capacity to insure adequate
service between Newport News, Old
Point, and the exposition grounds.
The Norfolk & Atlantic Terminal
Traction railroad, is also spending a
large sum, on their lines. New cars
have been ordered for all of the local
systems and a two and a half minute
schedule will be maintained on all of
the lines. running to the exposition
grounds. Plans for a joint terminal
station between the street car systems
and the Tidewater railroad have been
approved thereby giving a combined
loading and unloading capacity of 90
600 people every hour The Atlantic
Terminal railroad in connection with
the jamestown boulevard commission,
will change portion of its line TO
center-pole construction, and in many
points shorten the route by securing a
more direct right of-way for it's tracks
The many water routes TO and from
the exposition grounds, will carry their
| quota of visitors, and these in con-
nection with the railroads, will
adequately handle the crowds, during
the period of the exposition.

Donahue ever was. The White Sox
