Gov. Malcolm Rice Patterson was
nominated Tuesday night for re-elec-
ton by the most enthusiastic conven-
ton ever held in Tennessee. Nothing
like it had ever been witnessed by the
old democrats whose memory carried
them back to the stirring days before
the civil war when Tennessee's great
est productions occupied the political
stage. 1t was indeed great victory
and one Gov. Patterson has just cause
to be proud of. Without a peer in po.
Iitical life today in Tennessee he will
be triumphantly elected in November
and Tennesseans will be more than
anxious to reward four years of faithful
service with greater honors at the pro-
per time.

PICTORIUM BURNED.
Moving Picture Show Put
Out of Business Last
Friday Night.

AZ . o'clock last Friday night the
Pictorium was destroyed by fire. Dur
ing the performance an electric wire
set fire in some way to the operating
room and the front of the tent was soon
enveloped in flames. 1t was impossible
to extinguish them and in short time
the entire tent, stage and operating
room were totally destroyed. The
seats, piano and some of the stage set
tngs were saved. There was no insur-
ance and the loss falls heavily upon the
proprietor, B. A. Mathes.

Gov. Patterson is Tennessean, and
an official in whom the people of the
state can feel pride. His administra-
ton is a record any man can feel proud
of. Those who supported and those who
opposed him must admire the manly
man that he is. Dismiss prejudice
aud look at that record and see if this
is not true. It is to be regretted that
we don't stay within the record when a
campaign is on, but it is far less excus.
able to insist on believing what is true
when the excuse for it no longer exists.

The modern circus has about it moth

cal prowesS delights the average man !;
and in the athletic exhibitions of the
circus, the racing, the display of con-
summate Workmanship, and so on,
which are the leading features of a
circus exhibition, nearly every one,
young and old, takes pleasure-aud a
pleasure that is most ceatainly inno-
cent.
Within the past half-century or 80,
the circus in America has moved to q
much higher plane than it ever before
occupied. The exhibitions are unob-
jectionable on the score OF morality;
the comfort and convenience of specta-
tors are carefully conserved; there is no
more fear OF meeting insultor disagree
able incidents than there's in attending
a lecture or theatrical performance.
AS a result, the old-time prejudice
against circus as proper amusement
for all classes, ages and sexes is rapidly
disappearing. The love of diversion
and harmless amusement for all classes,
ages and sexes is Unborn in man. To
forbid them is to turn counter to hui.

The best place to find out the status OF
a people with regard to athletics is the hos
pital. In the many years which l have
been connected with hospitals rarely have

the benefit of development which would
result from regular and systematic exer-
else such as athletics in various forms af-
fords. One might of course go to the
other extreme and say that people who are
fond of athletics never are sick and conse-
quently never come to hospitals. This,
however, would be false reasoning, espe-
cially in view of the large number of pa
