has already been suggested that a

FOR A coon CAUSE.

j The United Daughters Of the
Confederacy assisted the manage
ment of the fair greatly in pro-
viding nice quarters adjoining
the Woman's Building and in
serving meals every day during
the fair. Many people attended
the fair who could not convenient
" leave the grounds ct dinner
hour, and the luxury Of a nice
dinner and a chair with table, white
linen and other Accommodations were
indeed much to be desired. con-
sidering the cost was only a trifie.
This department was in the hands
of Mrs. Brevard, MRS. Beck, Mrs.
Waddell, Mrs. Stuttgart, and 9TH
err members Of the chapters. They
we're equipped with kitchen, din
ing tables and everything handy,
and whoever sat to an inferior
meal with such an array of talent.
This was no less success than
many of the fixtures of the West
Tennessee Fair Association.
With all this, it was labor of
love and patriotism. The object
was to increase the fund which is
being raised to erect a monument
in memory of the Confederate sol
diers Of Obion County, and what
could be better than to show our
gratitude to the men whose man
hood and courage led them to the
front to defend our homes from
the ravages of war. The heroes
Of Obion County numbered more
than the entire voting strength OF
the county many more-and that
d suitable monument should be
erected to commemorate and pre-
serve the spirit and sacrifice Of
these men is no more than q duty |
we owe them. Let the good work

WHO Is IT7

| Il is the object of this paper Il
| keep, as near as possible, within
the bounds of reasonable and sen.
sible criticism, but it does seem tc
us that the Union City Fair Asso.
citation has been imposed upon by
persons entering the gates free OF
charge with or without pass.
There are q great many good peo-
ple, who, Internationally or I'M
thoughtedly, have lapsed into this
practice. We could cite various
subterfuges, under which this is
done, but it is not necessary to 90
into lengthy details Of a subject
which is manifestly plain to those
in error. The stockholders have
even been known to exercise
the pass privilege considerably
beyond the bounds Of their own
family circle, not to say any
thing of the good citizen who
passes into the grounds with the
schools or with others holding
special privileges.
The fair is not operated for per-
sonal or private gain, but for the
general good Of every citizen
within the territory 1t reaches. It
is for you and for me and those of
us who should be interested in our
agricultural, industrial and COM
mercial prosperity, and If we do
not pay our part Of the admission
the enterprise il crippled to that
extent. A good citizen says to a
stakeholder, lend me your pass for
the fair to-day. Who suffers most ?
The association, Of course, but the
man who uses the borrowed pass
is not doing his duty and he knows
it. The price of admission is
worth more to the life Of the en-
terprise than it is to the individ-
ual, and be should reflect that il is
not the very highest sense of honor
that prompts him to use pass to
which he is not entitled.
The receipts Of the meeting
which closed last week were very
good, indeed, but not within three
fourths Of what they should have
been with the attendance we had.
On Friday the crowd was various
" estimated from six to eight
thousand persons, and yet the re-
ceipts do not indicate a number
near SO large.
We do not intend to be unjust,
but simply to remind men of a
duty we owe ourselves as we'll as
our neighbors.

Gov. Patterson had close call
from serious injury while riding
horseback in the parade at Union
City Friday, where he had come on
account Of Governors Day at the
West Tennessee Fair.
The Governor and escorts were
riding near the head of the pro-
cession, a large spirited animal
having been provided for the Chief
Executive OF the State. In the ex-
cltement incident to the music and
other features Of the parade, the
Governors horse began to rear and
Gov. Patterson slipped frons his
saddle to the ground, but was not
hurt. The Governor remounted his
steed and soon the animal again,
began to, cut up, the Governor for a
second time slipping to the ground.
On the occasion of his second dis
mount, the Governor painfully
sprained one of his knees and after
wards suffered much gain DIS d con
sequence. Fortunately no bones
were broken and the Governors in
iuries, while painful, were not Sc
rious.
Another horse was furnished for
Gov. Patterson and he proceeded
to the fair grounds and there made
his speech. In the course Of his
remarks the Governor paid a trib-
ute to the 6ne West Tennessee
horses, but expressed the opinion
that they did not have much re-
spect for the Governor Of their
State.

A GOOD INSTITUTION.

1t is not very certain who orig
mated the movement of opening
business booths at the fair this
fall, bat that is not material. The
custom has been long in us at all

demonstrated here at the fair last
week that 1t is not so great an nm

A Unique Governor.

quite long enough to allow his measure
TO be taken. Yet it is a difficult mat
Ter to classify the man at Albany. Aft
er looking at this human specimen
from all sides and in all lights the con-
clus1on is reached that he does not be-
long in any classification hitherto ac-
cepted, but is a whole new class by
himself. AS a public administrator
Governor Hughes is unique.
People are asking, "What about this
man Hughes? with thoughts on presi-
Dental possibilities, but it is declared

SELF and indeed by intimate observers
who oppose him politically that the
subject of this curiosity is not think
ing at all about what may happen to
MIN or who Hughes may be next year
or ten years hence. Hughes, they say,
is simply attending to his Job as gov
ernor of New York.
1t may be said that MI. Hughes in
depreciation of the duties of state
executive is the one thing that differ
entlates him from the general run Of
governors the country over. How he
anterprets his duties is best explained
by citing incidents in his official career

x YHO'S Hughes ?"

w Such was the query of
W Chairman Stevens Of the
New York legislatures gas
trust Investigating committee in March,
1905, when State Senator Alfred r.
Page, one of the members, suggested
Attorney Charles Evans Hughes for
chief counsel or 1nquisitor.
Just at present Mr. Hughes is gov
ernor of New York, but he was an
unknown lawyer when that question
was asked. Mr.. Page knew that Mr..
Hughes was good lawyer. A consid-
cradle group of men in New York city,
where he practiced, also knew this
fact. But there are many other good
lawyers in New York, so that is not
very much of distinction. However,
Page insisted to Stevens that Hughes
was the very best lawyer available
for the work in hand-to corkscrew
confessions Of amazing manipulations
out of Consolidated Gas officials, to
poke the probe down into the rotten
core Of lighting contracts and illumi-
nate the opaque interior and to dis
cover that New York people were pay
ing dollar for gas that cost % cents
Hughes was hired and did the work.

Hughes, but throughout the United
States they are asking what's Hughes

the working desk of the governor was
In a small room adjoining the fine
large chamber which is known as the
executive office. Former governors pre-
ferred the small room so that they
could keep away from the crowd which
frequently fills the large room; also, it
must be said, some Of them preferred
the little office so that they could talk
In private with politicians. Governor
Hughes used the little room for few
days. Then he marched out into the
big room and took his seat at the ex-
pansive fiat desk which had been
merely ornamental, and he works there
every day.
Shortly after this move a certain in
dividual entered the big chamber and
put his face close to the governors,
saying softly: .
Il want to see you alone, governor"
Il am alone" replied the governor in
his everyday voice.
"But this is a private matter, gov
ernor, and''-
us it official business?'

1unatic can enter the big room and
state his case to the governor, who
listens as attentively to a cab driver
as he listens to the president of a
railroad. Some months ago a man
just released from state prison called
upon Governor Hughes in the big
room, announcing himself as an ex-
convict. The governor listened atten-
lively while the man complained Of
certain abuses in the prison and Of
Tered suggestions as to remedies. Gov
ernor Hughes took copious notes dur
ing the conversation and promised to
take the matter under advisement.
Sample of His Investigation.
Two former officials at the capitol
will not forget the evening when the
lights went out. The governor and
his secretaries were working late.
They lost valuable time hunting for
candles. This led Governor Hughes
to Investigate the lighting system,
bring about improvements which will
obviate any future resort to candles,
dismiss two important officials and GEN.
sure third. Hughes, you know, got
his Office because he was an investi-
gator.
These are small incidents, but they
have large bearing upon the charac-
ter Of the man Hughes. One of the
bigger affairs Of his administration
was his fight to GUST Otto Kelsey, the
state insurance commissioner. AS ev-
erybody knows. after LAWYER Hughes

had investigated gas he was called To
investigate life insurance. After his
searching questions had compelled in
surance presidents and managers to
disgorge the facts which proved their
gross acknowledgement of the people's
funds Mr.. Hughes prepared the official
report Of the legislative investigating
committee to which he had acted as
chief counsel. When he became gov.
ernor he knew life insurance down TO
the nub. He became convinced that
the commissioner Of insurance was not
taking advantage of the findings con.
tanned in that report to protect policy
holders. He proposed to have a new
commissioner, but he gave Mr.. Kelsey
an opportunity to show cause why he
should not be removed.
Won a Moral Victory.
Governor Hughes notified Commits
sioner Kelsey to appear before him in
the big room for immediate examina-
ton. There was no precedent for such
a thing, of course. But then, Gov
ernor Hughes cares little for prece-
dents. He cares more for common
sense, for business methods applied on
the jump to the case Immediately in
hand. After few hours of what law
yers call 20. and A." otherwise cross
examination, Mr.. Kelsey felt like the
bosom Of a boiled shirt after being
worn on a hot August day. He was
wilted. The party machine in the state
senate sustained Mr.. Kelsey and pre-
vented his removal, but the governor
won the moral victory.
Also the governor a little later by
attending strictly to his business as
chief executive according to his own
Interpretation took the starch out of
the party machine. A correspondent
wrote from Albany:
HE has smashed his party organi-
cation so that there is little left of it
as a machine. To be sure, many Of the
working parts are intact. but they are
