A Notwithstanding SYSTEM.
New Public Utilities Managed In .
Way That Retards Progress.

It should be borne in mind that the
investment of outside capital, the
ownership of public and semi-public
utilities by others than residents of a
community, is serious thing for the
people residing in the place. In west
ern cities there are hundreds of Illus
trations of the working out of this
plan of securing public utilities. There
is need of water-works. Outsiders
come into the field with proposition.
The city or town council is approached
and the final result is that a franchise
covering 25 to so years is granted.
The works are built. People are then
compelled to pay highest rates to
meet interest on bonds and watered
stocks. The company perhaps pays
taxes less proportionately than the
residents of the town are compelled
to pay, and the only money left in
the community that is earned by the
operation of the plant are the taxes
paid, the wages of the few laborers
employed, and the salaries that few
straw" officers draw. All the profits
are drawn TO the owners of the plant
in some other city, generally Wall
street, New York. Thus is built up
a system that draws the money earned
in the community to some other place.
1t is the same with street-car sys-
TENS. electric and gas lighting plants
and all other semi-public and public
utilities under private ownership. and
in which outside capital is chiefly in
vested
Should these utilities be owned by
home capital. all the earnings would
be retained in the community. TO seek
investment in other improvements and
the people would receive a general
benefit. There is no argument that
can prove that foreign ownership Of
any enterprise is good for a commu-
nifty. Any system, IL matters not
whether in a commercial line. financial
or other branch. that takes from a
community the earnings of the people
and uses them for the enrichment OF
other sections. is wrong system
Let business men OF every town get
these facts fixed indelibly in their
heads. Let commercial club enthusi
asts settle down to the fact that when
through their work any enterprise is
built up that means continual drain
on the resources of the place. II is
better there be no commercial club.
II there are any enterprising citizens
enough In place to invest in their own
town in this way, the town should
have no difficulty in stimulating a
municipal ownership sentiment and
have the good work carried on. Com
merciai clubs are all right. but Il is
often mat they are operated all wrong
than all right.

NOW THE FLOWER SANDWICH.
Dainty MorseIs Which Are Served at
Debutante Luncheons and Teas.

The latest wrinkle of the dainty
housekeeper is to serve flower sand
wiches" to her guests at an afternoon
tea.
OF course, these delicacies are exclu-
sively feminine, and no woman is so
foolish as to try to satisfy the mascu-
line appetite with such morsels.

NUNS she serves chrysanthemum
sandwiches, or If sweet peas, violets,
roses, carnations, prevail in the dec
orations, she will have her sandwiches
to match.
The fragrance is extracted from the
flowers and impaired to the sand
wiches by cutting the butter to be used
in thin blocks. wrapping it in cheese
cloth, smothering it with flowers and
letting it stand for several hours in a
tightly closed jar.
The bread is cut in paper like slices,
spread with the perfumed butter and
sprinkled with petals of flowers.
The sandwiches are rolled and tied
with ribbon to match the flowers.
After they have been put back in the
jar with the flowers they are served
in a veritable bed of blooms. and IL
they are not the most substantial
things in the food line they are at
least novel and dainty. and at present
are quite the thing at debutante lunch

Home Patronage Lesson.

The west is the section that pro-

ton with bread. In almost every
wheat-growlng section there are -four
Ing mills. Yet how often do we find
that people OF these districts demand

principle is wrong. There is n loss
to the district When wheat is shipped
from one state into another or from
the district where II is grown to some
other district and then made into
-four which is returned to the people
for their use. there is n considerable
loss to the community. There is the
commission TO the grain dealers. the

freight paid on the -four back to the

of labor in the manufacture. There is

For Greater Harmony.

Squabbles between business men

all interests of place. Never was
there greater need of harmonious ac-

the farmers than now. These classes
should discover how closely inter
twined are their interests with all the
interests of the community where they
reside. Farmers. laborers and every
class of workers should pull hand in
hand with the tradesmen for the
building up of the town. Surely every
one in a community should feel that

am in favor of law prohibiting the
manufacture or sale of intoxicating IL
ouors in the State of Tennessee" This
declaration by Senator Carmack in
reply to a challenge from his oppo-
nent to state his full position on the
LIQUOR question, was the climax OF
the great debate between the Demo
cratic gubernatorial candidates here
on Saturday night. Just why the Gov
ernor insisted upon so pointed a
declaration from his opponent upon
this question his followers could hard
ly explain since it provoked the great
est demonstration in Carmack's favor
that he received during the evening,
and the question being answered in
Patterson's time deprived him OF that
much space in which to reply to Car
mack's terrific arraignment.
AS at Chattanooga the crowd was
most enthusiastic when Carmack dis
cussed the liquor question and every
rap that he took at the saloon was re-
ceived with shouts of approval. The
Governors statement upon the liquor
question Of course, did not please the
temperance people and 1t was received
in sullen silence by large majority
of his own followers. This was due
to the fact that the most vociferous
and enthusiastic partisans of the Gov
ernor have no respect for the anti
liquor laws, and they did not enjoy
the Governors proud achievements
when he declared how he had abol-
ished four hundred saloons and made
the other 400 pay larger license to
do business. The only cheering worth
mentioning that punctuated the Gov
ernor's statement of his position on
the liquor question came when he de-
clared, with evident pride Under my
administration 400 saloons went out OF
business and some over Jealous par
tisan in the galleries, armed with a
magaphone shouted "And 1000 boot
leggers came into business This
statement met the full approval of
large majority of the Governors fol
lowers as evidenced by the volleys of
applause that followed.
Carmack had more decided advan-
tage in the crowd than in the opening
debate The newspaper men present
estimated that his partisans outnum-
bered the followers of the governor
from two to four to one, but the for
mer estimate is probably nearer cor
rect. Not less than two-thirds of the
people in the vast assembly, by their |
shouts and cheers and yells of APP

to vote for the champion of the red |

Governor In Fine Voice.
The Governor opened in fine voice
and spoke with good erect. He
evoked applause when he declared
mat although he had twice declared
that if his opponent was nominated
he would support him, Mr.. Carmack
had not pledged his support to him in

lenged him to answer this question.
Gov. Patterson grew eloquent in de-

school question, pointing with pride to
the large appropriations that had been
made. the advances in teachers sal
aries and the longer terms which had
been secured. He also paid tribute
to the county board law. The Cover
nor made big local hit when he re-
ferred to the increased appropriation
for the University of Tennessee. He
excoriated the little, mean, conten-
tious papers that had bounded his
administration, and the audience
yelled again.

Defends The Election Laws.

The Governor made an elaborate de-
tense of the election laws, claiming
that the control of the election ma
chinery had been taken from his
hands. He also defended the primary
plan, contending that it was fair. An
swering the charge that the power
to appoint election officers had
been taken from the county commit
tees, he said "Of course would not
submit to a primary plan that would
allow the Democratic executive com
mittee of Shelby county to name the

The Governor repeated the sub
stance of his Chattanooga declaration
on the temperance issue, saying that
although the Pendleton law was in
conflict with the Democratic platform
he gave the temperance people the
benefit of the doubt and signed it.

Great carmacK Demonstration


After the great demonstration which
was accorded Senator Carmack when
he appeared to answer his competitor
nad subsidized, he opened. At first his
voice was quite weak, but as his
throat warmed up it grew in strength
and it was but short time until that
peculiar charm of his oratory, which
is quite original and distinct, was
moving the hearts Of his hearers, and
the applause came often and in great
volume. As a matter of fact the Sena-
tor was accorded one continuous ova-
ton.
Senator Carmack was especially eff
fective when he arraigned the Mem
phis charter, asking the Governor re-
peat eddy "Where is the local self-gov-
eminent in that measure" He said
that the only time when the Cover
nor was ever concerned about the
sacred principle of local self-govern-
ment was when his liquor friends
were involved. 1T is only when the
devine right of the liquor dealers to
sell their goods is at stake that the
Governor manifests any concern for
this sacred principle of selfgovern-
ment," declared the Senator amid

Temperance Stand Approved.

Answering Mr.. Patterson on the
temperance question, the Senator read
from his editorial utterances of six
teen years ago denouncing the saloon
and declared that he wanted to wipe
the whole thing out of the State. As
at Chattanooga this declaration was
received with greater evidences OF
approval than any made by either
speaker. The audience rose and
cheered for several seconds.
