Knoxville is ready for the applica-

onstrated beyond doubt in the recent
election, and 1t was only last week
that the Board of Mayor and Aldermen
requested by resolution the extension

stood that the saloons at Lafollette will
be abolished at this session.
columbia. GAINESVILLE, Winchester
and Mt. Pleasant have each instruct
ed their respective Representatives in
the General Assembly to apply the

sentiment in Jackson in favor of the
extension of the Adams law and there
is little doubt that the people of that
city will at least demand the right to
express themselves upon the ques-
ton of further permitting the sales
of liquor in that town.
Summing the situation up all the
places in the state except Nashville,

advocated in two of the cities men,

Chattanooga and Nashville. 1t seems
that conditions in Memphis are rather
deplorable from the recent reports
made by the Shelby grand Jury, which
stated in substance that the saloons
dominated the city. But even in Mem
phis temperance sentiment is growing
and crystalizing."

natural resource are the petty sums

a pound for their tobacco, but after
organizing and pooling their interests
they had demanded and received is
cents a pound for all their product.

Mr. Salmon said that one OF the most
important matters for the new organ

other railroad. From his own obser-
vations, and from v hat he had been
told, there was no doubt in his mind
that with organized effort on the part
of this and the adjoining counties, a
new trunk line could be had in here
within year or two, and then II
would only be matter of short time
before Columbia would be little

JACOB Il. scHIEF TELLS REA-
SONS FOR DEPRESSION.
MUCH WEALTH DESTROYED
Cites War in the Far East and the
San Francisco Earthquake as In
fluences often overIooked-china
and Japan Making Big Demands on
Capital of the World.

New York, Aug. 23.-Jacob H.
Schiff, the banker, who is at Bar Har-
Dor, Maine, said in a published inter
view on the financial and business
outlook: ITO blame the federal ad-
ministration for the difficulties in
which we find ourselves is both
thoughtless and unjust. Even If the
excuses which the greai prosperity
of recent years has had in its wake
had been permitted to continue un.
checked, before long a situation would
have developed probably far more
difficult and serious than the crisis
through which We are now passing.
In the first instance, it is result
of the tremendous railroad, industrial
and commercial development OF the
last ten years and which has brought
about capital requirements largely in
excess of the ability of the country to
supply. Europe, finding itself in a
similar position to the United States,
has been unable to extend us any
credit or to place at our disposal sur
plus funds, such as has been its wont
to invest so largely in American Sc
curities in times of depression, More
over, it has been to a great extent
overlooked that the Russian Japanese
war and the San Francisco earthquake
have destroyed an enormous amount
OF wealth, which sooner or later had
to make itself felt. Nor has the fact
that both Japan and China have now
entered into competition for the sur
plus capital of the world been given
sufficient attention.
No other remedy for this state of
affairs appears to be possible than at
least temporary reduction in our
activities until the country's capital
and credit facilities again have
reached a point sufficient for its vol
ume of business"

after SOUTHERN VOTES
Taft Speaks ApprovngIy of Schemes to
Distranchise the Negroes

Lexington, KY, Aug. 23.-With a
discussion of the race problem, gener-
al political issues from the southern
standpoint and an appeal to Kentdc-
kians and other southerners to come
to the aid of the republican party in
support of those principles which he
believed they favored, Secretary of
War William H. Taft yesterday
opened the republican state campaign
in this city Calling attention to
what he called the south's lack of rep
ton he declared that this was true
because one single issue has made
it the perpetual tail of the democrat
ic party so that however small the
northern head it wags that TAIL The
south has permitted the shadows of
an issue that circumstances ought
long ago to have removed from polit-
ical controversy TO bind its solidity to
the democratic party no matter what
principles or candidates that party has
adopted > He called attention to the
prosperity OF Kentucky's developing
industries and agricultural wealth and
expressed the belief that many Ken
f''ckians who favored a protective
} iriff had blindly voted the democrat
ic ticket because of the feeling on the
race issue.
After mentioning the various means
of DISTINGUISHING voters, declaring
that such laws were properly applied
with equal fairness to both white and
black, he expressed the hope that as

else independence of Judgment in re-
spect to political issues, we may be
sure that gradually the right to vote
will be accorded them and they will
exercise far more useful influence
as intelligent and solid members of
the community for the benefit of their
race than the. ignorant members of
their race would have exercised, had
they been allowed to vote. In this
way. through devious ways which can
not be justified or approved, we may
still reach result that will square
with the requirements of the federal
constitution and will give to the negro
every political and economic right,
and will confer great benefit upon the
colored race
Secretary Taft concluded as fol-
lows:
AS an American citizen and lover
of my country, long for the time
when the south shall be received
again into the council of the nation
and when the people of that section
shall resume the influence to which
themselves deny themselves by being
frightened at mere ghost of the
past
In the question of greater congress
sional representation than the vote of
the south seemed TO warrant he found
an injustice which he believed had
been largely counterbalanced by its
tendency to drive northern voters in
to the republican party.

lots of oil in barrels, and that the
rates for oil in barrels in less than
car lots are very high and unreason-
able. If a car of oil in barrels could
be shipped from the station at Madi-
son with the right of stoppage at two
or three stations, dealers in adjacent
towns could go together and buy
car load lot at time and thereby
get advantage of the lower carload
rate and also get much quicker de-
livery of their shipment, but the rail-
road companies refuse to allow this.
The complaining independent company
sets forth that in May of this year it
made request of the Northwestern
company to grant the right of stop
page in transit of car shipments of
oil in barrels, on the basis of the nav.
ment of the rate for the whole car
for the longest distance that any
part of the car of oil might be
hauled, and an additional payment
for the privilege of stopping the car
and unloading parts of the shipment.
SO that the railroad company would
get the full charge for the shipment
for greater distance than the oil
was actually hauled, and in addition
would get paid for allowing the car
TO stop for partial unloading. To
this formal request the railroad COM
pany made no reply by way of deci-
sion.
The complaining independent oil
company further alleges that the rail,
road companies allow the right of
stoppage In transit for many other
commodities of freight, naming a
large number of these specifically.
Among them are agricultural imple-
ments, empty barrels, junk, scrap
iron, furniture and meats. The com
plalnant alleges that the right of
stcppage in transit with respect to
meats is a concession to the beef
TRUST.
This is not the first time the Valvo-
line Oil company has gone after the
standard under the railroad commits
sion law of Wisconsin, as a year or
more ago an informal complaint was
made and the railroads made a salts
factory adjustment without allowing
the controversy to reach the stage of
a formal complaint.
