The Situation in the Ninth
{ Norton Free Press. }

we do not take TO all Col. Bailey
says aboutlthe great Slemp-Summers
20 nDine In the Ninth District,
though there is some truth in the
charges that ne makes.
There are, however, two distinct
objections To- he laid against the Re-
publican party organization i'm the
Distric- The first is the ruthless fore
ing upon the people of unpopular,
and in many instances unworthy
men to fill Federal positions. The
rule rigidly adhered TO seems TO be
that of selecting men who can ma
nipulate the tricks, work the schemes
and get the votes for party nominees
regardless of their personal fitness or
popular choice for positions of public
service, honor and trust. Norton fur-
nishes a forciable example of this
first objection, and there are no signs
OF Immediate ahatemen of the same.
The second objection to the rule of
the party organization in the District
Is the phenomenal and pernicious
growth of the tripod tribe-postmast-
er-editors-who are appointed to the
very difficult stunt of welding the
editorial pen while licking postage
stapms. When man is given a post
office or a collectorship he is expected
forthwith to develop into a real live
editor and while saving himself from
starvation he must also save the
country from damna, ion.
This Is dangerous step toward
despotism and is calculated to up-
root and destroy one of the main
tenets of institutional and individual
liberty-the freedom of the press. No
editor, great or sallm, can give I'M
biased utterance TO his opinions while
holding a place of eInolument given
him by political party whose in
terests his paper is expected TO SUBJ
serve. And the man who subjects
himself TO such dual relationship.
in very large measure, puts his
principles on a commercial basis and
offers himself-mind, soul and BODY
for sale. For that reason no post
master or federal Qftlce-holder should
aspire to the duties Of the editorial
sanctum. 1t ought TO be prohibited
by legislative enactment.
Now, ms indicated i'm these columns
before, we have the highest regard
! for Bascom Slemp, and also as stated
before he has an excellent opportu-
nifty for the making Of a man; but
If he fails 70 read the signs of the
times Alright there is grave danger of
MS making dismal failure, politi-
cally, This is new age in political
affairs 1t is the age of the Peoples
Rule, 1t is on in earnest, and any
man, who by slick methods, under
takes TO thwart or restrict that Rule
Is going TO feel something strike
him,

A NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
FOR TAZEWELL.

So far as we can learn the School
Board has decided positively not to
spend more money patching up the
present school building. 1t would be
a wanton waste OF money To- do so.
The present buildings must be moved
away entirely, and replaced by ne W
ones, or the entire property sold or
exchanged for property elsewhere,
and the school moved from It's | re-
sent site. In the opinion of wise
business men this latter is the thing
TO do-move the school TO some more
suitable and commodiOus site.
The only question is the money. If
the town of Tazewell will give the
small sum of 80, 600, the School
Board will he able To handle the job.
This Is mol I'm official statement, but
is given upon what is believed To lie
the state of affairs.
Tazcwell is rich town, moi
burdencd at all with debt, with one
of the poorest school buildings i'm the
state perhaps, and certainly can afford
To give this small amount in order To
secure good school facilities for the
children of the community. The
Board should have an early meet
ing, and formulate definite plans,
and ask the town for an appropriate
ton. If refused, try To get the money
elsewhere. New school facilities are
Il pressing and immediate necessity

He said that near ly every cotton dealer protects him. self daily by dealings in futures, and he thought the passage of such bill as that of MT. Moore of Inde- pendence, which had been reported favorably. would put the price of tho staple in the hands of the mill owners and wealthy spectators. He wanted to eliminate that feature of the bill which would keep Arkansas cotton growers out of touch with the cotton market. A motion to adopt the resolution was lost

.. Patterson Bill Approved.
 The senate committee on public health decided this afternoon to re- port fayorably upon the Patterson bill. which regulates the sale of patent medicines in Arkansas. This decision followed a bitter fight be- tween the doctors and druggists Of the state, who have camped upon the trail of the senate committee for the past two weeks. The doctors have been in favor of The Patterson bill. while the druggists have op- posed = and have asked the com mittee 10 endorse the Grecnhaw bill, which is modelled after the national pure foot iaW. An important amend ment was added to the Patterson bill, however, before it was endors- ed by the committee, and this amendment affects the physicians. l. proFiues that the physiciaas shall also be included within the pGoyis- ions of the law and must write their prescriptions in plain English Druggists are also required to write these prescriptions upon the labels placed on medicines when re- queSted to do so The bill ori@inal- lX applied only te proprietary med ieines, requiring that the formulas for the patent medicines must be written and pasted on the bottles or packages.
 Amendments to the -Dill apDrODri- ating $50,000 for an exhibit and building at the Jamestown exposi- tion, were offered in the senate to- day and adopted These reduce the appropriation to $15,000 and pro- vide simply for an exhibit, no pro- vision being made for state build ing. It is thought that the bill, if passed, will be in this shape.
