The first state primary election Of both
the democratic and republican parties was
held Tuesday. but as there were no con-
tests Of great importance little interest
was shown in the choice Of candidates.
Only about one-third Of the registered
vote in this city was cast and this per
centaee win probably hold good through
out the state.
The only two contested nominations
worthy Of mention were the contest be
tween Col A. p Watson Of Shawnee. and
Thos P. Smith. Of Muskoeee. for the demo-
cratic nomination for corporation COM
missioner From the meagre returns re-
ceived up 10 the time Of going to press It
would seem that Col Watson was the
victor. In this city the vote was very
Close. Watson leading his opponent BY
nine votes.
The other contest was between C. E.
Creaeer, Of Muskoeee, and H. f. P. STAN
ford Of 0kmulgee county for the repubIi-
can nomination for congress from the
Third district Both sides are claiming
the victory, but enough Of the returns have
not been received to indicate the winner

Nashville People Purchase One
One Packet and Are. Having An
other Built, IL Is Said.

News has hoated down the Cum
berland river from Nashville that the
Ryman line Of steamboats, will have
to get up and hustle in order to keep
the Cumberland river packet trade
70 themselves as they have done
since steamboating has been in pro-
gress. Eph. Bean, an engineer, left
Nashville last Saturday for Marietta,
O., TO bring out the Robert Rhea. a
packet boat about the size of the
II. w Buttorff, and put her in the
upper Cumberland river trade In OPP
position to the Ryman line. Beab
will go as chief engineer Of the Rhea,
and Capt. J. s. Tyner, who resigned
September 1, from the employ OF
the Ryman line after 35 years OF
service for that company, will be in
charge of the Rhea.
A new boat will be built at JET
fersonville, Ind, within the next 80
DAYS and chartered to enter the
lower Cumberland river trade from
Paducah to Nashville and make two
round trips a week. One round
trip from Padueah to Nashville a
week is the best any packet boat
has ever done. The distance Of q
round trip is 412 miles, which means
some fast steamboating In order to
make two round trips weekly. The
new line is to be operated by w. W.
Parmenter and associates of Nash
vile.

LAW AND ORDER.

There is nothing so far as we
know that is more desired than
Law and order, that is, IL II is the
real genuine article. and backed
mp by law abiding citizens with
hut one motive IN view. the main
tenance of the law and good order.
In Kentucky, IL is said we have
a Law and order League formed
In the city Of Louisville by persons
who are opposed to the tobacco as
ISOLATION, or In other words, opposed
10 the farmers who believe In the
Association Local. or branch Law
and Order Leagues have also been
formed and have as members per-
sons who are known TO have always
been opposed 10 the association This
naturally causes the association far
mer To believe that the Law and
Order League is only cloak behind
which the enemies of the association
can stand.
so long as the known enemies OF
the association are behind the Law

hopes OF accomplishing good results.
There are many of the best law abid-
ms upright dnu honorable citizens
who are true members of the associ-
ton that would be willing and anx-

not run altogether by anti-associa-
tion people.
Now II may not be the case in
every county where branch Law
and Order Leagues have been form

are the whole works. bur II is true
in this county, and no one can DENY

CIVIL.
Or Military Authority-Which Shall
Govern2
Attitude. of. the Military Authori-
ties Not Understood by the PeO-
pie of Todd County.

The position taken by the military
authorities In the case Of the two
priyates of the detail now on duty
here. who are charged with break
ing into a freight car, Is an alarm-
ing indication of how far the usurpa-
ton of authority properly belonging
to the civil authorities promises to
go. The men are charged with break
ing the laws OF the State, which, In
the case OF any private citizen, would
have resulted in a quick arrest and
a speedy punishment II their guilt
was proven.
In the attitude adopted by Major
Bassett and Acknowledgement John
ston, who are In charge OF the mill
tary forces on duty In Western Ken
lucky, we see the civil laws set aside
and defined simply because the ac-
cused men happen TO be militiamen.
Just why this should be as q ques-
ton difficult to answer. II is 70
be earnestly hoped-as doubtless
will be the result-that the Todd
County authorities will make a
determined stand for the States
rights In the matter and bring the
soldiers to trial. Whether they are
guilty or whether they are innocent
are not facts pertinent to the case
In any manner whatever. But these
men are accused OF a crime and the
people have the right TO demand that
they shall be found guilty or inno-
cent before the proper tribunal, and
not shielded from trial which they
would be compelled 10 face II they
were not members OF the State
guard. 49,.
This arbitrary action Of Major Bas-
sett In removing the men from Guth-
RTE, when they were virtually under
arrest, and the statement OF Ad-
tutant-General Johnston that the
men are not guilty. simply because
In his opinion there Is feeling against
the militia, is an abuse OF power
which cannot go on unless the civil
Jaw is made subsidiary to military
rule. Either the civil law must be
supreme, or the military must gov
ern. There can be no halfway meas
ure about H. and the sooner this
question IL definitely decided the bet
ter II will be for the people OF West
ern Kentucky. IL IL Is the latter
we must adjust ourselves to the new
conditions and submit gracefully to
being governed by force OF arms

League would be required TO handle,
n any manner and sell their tobacco
TO whom they please This of course,
Is alright provided they are not
members OF the tobacco association,
then they are declared from member
ship, or have to violate their con-
tract and agreement. and to so do,
they are subject to a heavy fine
when they sell their tobacco as like
wise the buyer.
Everybody of a law abiding char
acter ought TO be eligible to member
ship in a Law and Order League
whether he be an association member
or not and until this is done, there
can be no harmony, peace. good will
and true happiness. Princeton
