tial service upon reasonable terms
wiz be insisted upon. There must be
machinery through which public OBJ
legations as defined by law may be
enforced. This can best be obtained
through an administrative body such
as the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. The question Of rates must
be determined after fun consideration
of all pertinent facts to the end that
the requirements of Impartiallty and,
reasonabIeness may be complied
with, while at the same time. fair
return to the owners OF the property
may be assured. Nothing should he
lacking IN administrative powers for
the attainment of these objects.
Supervise Securities
It Is also essential that there should
be efficient supervision OF the issues
OF securities to avoid the evils OF in-I
Iation and OF over-capitalization.
We wish to see American industry
expand. We desire every advantage
OF economic organization; every Juzt
opportunity for the display of talent
and inventive skill: every possible
Improvement in the process OF man
ufacture; everything in short, which
enhances the opportunity of labor
and its fruitful employment at good
wages and which develops and en-
courages trade. At the same time.
we desire to put an end to unfair
practices. unjustifiable preferences
and oppressive proceedings by which,
apart from proper economin advant-
ages or superior skin in Industry ri-
walls are barred from equal opportu-
mites and thrust out OF the way or
destroyed.
Definite Laws.
Laws. state and federal. should be
as definite as possible, and should
apply with becoming precision to the.
practices sought to be reached. It
does not make very great difference
whether those engaged In improper
enterprises keep its proceeds In one
pocket or in three, or whether their
transactions are detailed in one or
more sets Of accounts. The way to-
get rid of abuses is to attack them
directly. And I believe the most eff
fcacious means is definition and pro-
scription. and adequate punishment
OF offenders. The punishment Isl
most salutary when visited upon the
guilty individuals. Few men can be
hired to so to jail And IL offenses
which public sentiment recognizes to
be OF a grave character are punished
by imprisonment, the law is more
likely to be obeyed and the punish
ment to have it's intended effect.
In our legislation and administra-
ton. we must favor no class but
protect the interests OF all our cit
liens. While the nation may devote
its powers to this end so far as mat
tiers are In federal control our state
governments and local communi-
ties must not miss their great oppor-
tunitIes. In the use OF all these pow
ers. according to their constitutional
distribution. for the development of
our resources. the announcement Of
agriculture, the Improvement OF the
conditions OF labor and the safe
guarding OF the freedom Of COM
merce, We shall progress toward the
attainment OF the aims OF liberty.
Let us realize our mutual depend
ence and rejoice with Washington.

Constitutional Limits.

1t must be a policy consistent with
our constitutional limitations and
distribution Of powers. BY making
out institutions work in the way in
which they were Intended to work,
mean that we should secure the
maximum efficiency in both state and
federal administration to the end
that every matter Of national concern
and every matter of local concern
shall receive by the appropriate eS-
ericses of the powers OF each juris-
diction that full consideration and
necessary remedial action by which
wrongs, both national and local, may
be completely redressed.
Special interests must keep their
hands or the government in city.
state and nation. The common vel
fare must be the supreme law. The
lobbies which have been maintained
in legislative halls, the efforts to per-
vert administration by securing the
service for particular interests Of
those who pose us the servants Of
the people, the corruption of the sole
means by which the people can ex-
press their will. have been the effect
i've cause of distrust of government
and furnishes the most serious pre-
text for assaults upon our institu-
tfons

But while we insist upon the ad-

Of public officers, we must visit de-

Wherever there are public rights in

Governor Directs Search.
Union City, Tenn, Special.-Gov-
ernor Patterson, who arrived here
Wednesday night, began early Thurs
day to direct operations toward ap-
prehension of those concerned in the
murder of Captain Rankin at Reel
Foot Lake. One hundred and fftV
militiamen, under command of Col.
W. C.. Tatom, arrived and were dis
tributed throughout the district.
Posses started from this city tc
search for Colonel Taylor.
Governor Patterson gave out the
following statement before it was
learned that Colonel Taylor had not
been killed:
ri have offered the largest reward
the law will permit for the arrest and
conviction of the assassins and have
ordered out troops. I have believed
that the military should be the last
resort of State governed by law but
the time has now come when it is b1y
duty as Governor to use all the pow
er at my command to restore order
in the region where these assassina-
tions have occurred and to assist The
courts in the apprehension and pun
ishment of the perpetrators. 1t must
be taken by all as purpose deliber-
ately formed and I hope no man or
body of men anywhere in the State
will fail to understand it. We have
had enough Of lawless acts, Of
thefts, intimidation and other meth
DDS of terrorfzing citizens and COM
munities. These should Gbe stopped
and must be stopped, or the consc-
ouences will have to be accepted.
For the present I have left the cam
paign for the Governorship, believ-
ing the upholding Of law and order
in our State is of more Importance
than political discussion"

something had to be done.

tended US any harm, but just then the

Rankin's neck and swung him to a

of the mob was a volley Of so shots.
