If the citizens of the other por-
tons of the town want the corpor-
alton Of Camden extended so as to
include them, then If a majority
say extend it, do it and do it quick.
1t is q we'll known fac that it is
very hard to pass bills through the
Tennessee Legislature which hits
the railroads in any particular,
but If the people will tell their
representatives to stand up for
what is right and just, L certainly
believe that they will put part Of
the burdens of the State upon
these corporations. They declare
large dividends annually, which
is positive proof that they are not
losing money; still they want the
widows, orphans and the poor peo-
pie to pay for everything. Is this
right, and are the representatives
doing exactly what their constitu-
euts want when they vote for bills
favorableto the corporation inter
ests and not to the people which
they propose to represent?
1 am sure that we have an excel
lent representative in the person
of Mr.. Thomas, and know that he
wants to represent the people of
Benton and Decatur rather than
the corporations of the State, and

THE CAMDEN CHARTER.

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
A movement is on foot here now
to petition Representative Dorsey
B. Thomas to enlarge the charter
of Camden by taking in that por-
ton of the town known as "Vicks-
burg" which is toward the ceme-
terry. 1t is also understood that
this line will leave out few resi-
dences at the depot and also the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st.
Louis Railway, which, if included,
would add largely to the finances
of the city, and we greatly need to
keep up the newly added territory
and also the road leading to the
depot and which the railroad gets
many benefits from in a number of
ways. / have no objection to add
ing new territory, provided the
of the citizens in the new
territory are willing to pay the adj
taxes to have the benefits
derived from being inside Of the
corporate limits of the town.
But the bare idea of having to
keep up road leading to within a
stones throw of the depot at big
to the town and then not
receiving a single cent from this
soulless corporation for taxes is
simply ridiculous, and is not fair
to the citizens of Camden who
have to pay the expenses of carry
ing on this corporation.

FEAR.
upon a memory.

Surprise has been expressed by a
number Of our readers that nothing
had been seen by them in the daily
press about the death of Sheriff Har-.
Vey K. Brown, ex-sheriff Of Baker
County, Oregon. Their bewilderment
S equaled by our own. The event,
momentous, overwhelming, as it was,
was in most newspapers mentioned
barely, if at all. To the request that
we narrate the facts to which here
tofore we have referred, we can say
no more than this: On September 80
Sheriff Brown was lacerated by
bomb set near his gate. On October
l he died. In the course Of his Off
cial duty he had taken Steve Adams
to Boise City, had disappointed the
miners in his testimony, and, most
fatal of all, had made a secret report
to MCFARLAND, which fell into the
hands Of the Federation. Dying, he
is reported to have said he had ex-
pected death and had been Swallowed
for weeks. That is all. On this
topic we quote the following from an
Idaho letter:

IN KENTUCKY.
Commercial Appeal.)

(CommerclaI Appeal
The election results in Kentucky
are really not very surprising when
we recall the history Of the state.
The true and tried leaders Of the
party have been gradually eliminated,
and the small fry have been on top.
There was bound to be an end of
this sort Of a thing at some time, and
the end is in sight.
Kentucky is normally Democratic
State. With men like Carlisle, VIM.
Lindsey, Henry Watterson, the late
COL Breckenridge and others side
tracked, it is no wonder that the
Democratic ascendancy in Kentucky
has been tottering recently. When
VIM. Goebel was assassinated several
years ago, the republican part was Sc
riously damaged and the democratic
assendancy was continued by that
deed. Goebel became martyr, and
a certain set Of small fry politicians
have been thriving on that martyrdom
ever since. Had Goebel not been
murdered, he would long ago have
been relegated to private life with the
disapproval Of the people Of Ken
lucky.
Goebel was able, unamiable and
entirely INSCRIPTIONS. He canvass
ed the State of Kentucky for COVER
nor with the result that he had only
trife over 100 votes in convention
of over 1000 delegates. Hardin and
Stone together had eight or nine
votes to Goebel's one. Yet by de-
ceiving and betraying Stone, getting
control Of the organization and nelvi-
ly unseating several hundred dele
gates, Goebel managed to secure the
Democratic nomination. It was the
most artistic piece of highway rob-
hery ever perpetrated against the
Democracy of Kentucky.
In the election that ensued Goebel
was defeated, and the state election
commissioners, who were Democrats,
issued a certificate Of election to the
Republican candidate, Taylor. But
Goebel, who was still state senator,
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1907-12-19

held on to his purpose and got up
contest before the legislature in order
to pluck the governorship as he had
plucked the nomination. In short,
he was planning a cold steal. It is
hardly necessary to say that both
parties lost their heads, and in the
midst Of the general excitement some
fool Republican shot Goebel.
1t was only natural that this
murder should react against the Re-
publican party and make people for
get the political sins Of William
Goebel.
But the small fry collected around
Goebel and have lived on his murder
ever since. They have let the real
mrderer-Henry Youtsey-go in a
measure, and have concentrated their
efforts to bring about the hanging Of
Caleb Powers, who WASH t in Frank
fort when Goebel was killed and who
has been connected with the murder
only by transparent perjurers. The
Powers case has been a greater stain
on Kentucky than the Dreyfus case
was on France, but France had the
courage to correct her mistake.
Kentucky, however, has evidently
grown tired of a steady diet Of Goe-
bel. The Democrats have made
so many tactical mistakes in prepetu-
atlng the memory Of that dastardly
crime that the people have elected a
Republican governor. It is likely
that Governor Wilson will pardon
Powers and right what seems to be
great wrong. We trust he will do
this, not only in the interest of JUS
tice, but in the interest Of the people
of Kentucky. It is time to put the
Goebel case to sleep and resume nor
NAL ways.
Kentucky can not afford to live
upon a memory.

THE HEART OF THE HOME.

I know home where plenty is
A stately palace grand;
Rich draperies and furnishings
From many distant strand,
And all that glittering gold can buy
Selected with great care,
And yet, it's not a paradise
No heart abideth there.
No baby fingers press the cheek
Or thurm the window pane;
No childish laugh rings through the
To break the silent reign.
No guileless elf, with dimpled hands,
Strews playthings everywhere.
This palace is not quite home
There is no mother there.
A queenly woman, proud and cold,
With matchless form and face,
Presides within these castle walls
With dignity and grace.
The lord and master Of the home
Provides the richest fare,
And yet, it is cherries place
No love abideth there.
No tenderness, no sacred ties,
No mutual joys or c2ain,
One strives for social s., mi 2ec
The other lives for g9lA.
No golden threads entwl., ~ he7
Of those this grandeur Share;
No mutual yearnings of the soul
No sympathy is there.
Oh, give me but some humble cot
Where pattering baby feet
And childish laugh and mother s
smiles Il q
My coming over greet, 4
Where heart is home and love is life
Though coarse and scant the fare
N" loveless, childless palace can
With such a cot compare.

Who OWNS THE RAILROADS?

A short time ago the Macon Tele-
graph, one OF the trinity OF big dailles
IN the state that seem run specially
III the interest OF the railroads, at
tempted to snow that the people OF
georgia owned the railroads OF the
STATE. 1t grew exceedingly not under
the collar because somebody had sug~
gesttd mat the ownership OF The state
ram DADS were now owned principal
OF our people, and that the Georgia
aIldUads were now owned principal
~ by foreigners, and alter denounc-
Ing The stat ment IN its usual vlgor-
Gus soyle with an abundance OF pyro>
technics, 1t stated the number Of
snmes OF stock owned In these rail-
roads by Georglans. Among these
railroads which the esteemed Tele-
graph so vehemently asserted to be
owned by Georg1ans was the Central
OF Georgia, OF which, according to the
investigation OF this railroad advo-
cate, several hundred shares were
stlII owned Dy Georgians. Hence the
Telegraph denounced as vile, villain
Gus, wicked fabrication the statement
that the ownership and control Of this
railroad had passed out Of the hands
OF Georglans, and that it was now
the property Of aliens.
NOW comes the Atlanta Constitu-
ton, another Of the Georgia trinity
OF railroad organs, and says that:
Among The many questions depend
ing for their answer upon the out
come OF the postponed meeting Of the
Illinois Central stockholders on De-
comber Is will be the ultimate control
OF the Central Of Georgia railway"
Don't tell this to The Telegraph,
which swears that the Central Of Geor-
gla is still owned by Geo1gians. The
Constitution explains further:
Having an outlet to New Orleans
through the Illinois Central, and pros
pective entrance to Birmingham,
through the near completion of the
Illinois Central extension to that
city, it was but natural that Mr..
Hartman should appreciate the STRAIT
egic value Of the Central of Georgia
and desire to protect it for the future
purpose of the Illinois Central rail
road in gaining access to Atlanta and
Savannah.
1T was not polite at that time, of
course, for the Illinois Central or the
Union Pacific to make such pur-
chase, and Mr.. Hartman, therefore,
took it upon himself personally. He
now assumes the full responsibility
which the action bears. The announce
ment that the sale had been con-
summated only recently was due pure
ly to the fact that it was considered
good policy to announce it at that
time, In order that the nominal
ownership Of the stock on the part
of Messrs. Thorne and Perry might

CAN
Be COALED IN
HONOLULU
THE TASK TO BE MET IF THE
EIGHTEEN OR TWENTY BATTLE
SHIPS COME HERE.

The prospect of eighteen or twenty
big United States battleships visiting
Honolulu during the Pacific cruise
within a year does not find the local
United States Naval Station unprepar-
ed.
The first thing wanted by the fleet
on arrival would be coal and there are
in the Hawaiian Naval Station reserve,
most of whicn fuel is under the big
sheds at the station.
If the ,drays and men and wharves
and barges were available the eighteen
first-class battleships could be coaled
here between breakfast and dinner
time.
According to present facilities, how
ever, about two thousand tons of coal
per days would be about the limit of
coaling. Each vessel would require
about 500 TONS of fuel Eight hundred
tons of coal were put aboard the
/ British cruiser Monmouth on July be-
tween 1 o'clock and II o'clock p. m.
When the American Asiatic fleet was
here the Wisconsin and the Kentucky
were each given 1,2O5 tons between
a. m. and p. m. and the Oregon, the
Bull Dog of the Navy" was given l.
400 tons in - hours, fast coaling.
! With eighteen battleships here, four
would probably dock at the naval
wharves, one across the end of No. l,
and four would take positions in the
stream, ten lying off port. AS soon as
the four at the wharves were coaled
they would move outside the narbor
and the four in the stream would come
to the docks while their places in the
stream would be taken by an equal
number from the balance of the feet
outside the harbor. In this way the
entire feet would be coaled, on an aver
age of 500 tons per vessel, in a week,
or in three and half days, working
day and night.
Eighteen vessels taking on an aver
age of 800 tons of coal each would take
IA, 400 tons, nearly as much as there is
now on hand.
1t is probable that three cargoes OF
5000 tons each in addition to regular
contracts, will arrive here before the
fleet so that the coal taken by the fleet
will not leave the Naval Station short
Battleships from the Atlantic would
travel to the Pacific with colliers ahead

be no difficulty in regard to the admis-
sion of the Japs at Vancouver as far
as their being possessed of $25 per
capita is concerned. Some of them are
going up with as much as 5000.
1t is believed that the examination
by doctor of each prospective emil
grant before leaving here will be sat
isfactory to the Vancouver authorities.
Chillingworth says that he expects
to have the Kumeric leave on Monday.

morning, "and hope to be ready to
clear the steamer when the custom
house opens on Monday.
"The press cable from Vancouver,
stating that the government would en-
force its law requiring each immigrant
to be able to show S25 before landing,
is nothing new to us We have known
about it all along, and the Japanese
are prepared"
