LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT.


I Coz. Patterson pleads for local OP
I ,i1n fer the saloons. but he never in
timated 10 the last Legislature that
he desired 10 submit any other meas
IRE OF his to a vote OF the people TO
be affected. When the Memphis char
ter bill was pending in the House,
Judge Sam l. Chestnut. Of Hawkins
county. friend and supporter OF
Mr.. Carmaek. offered an amendment
providing that the question Of the
/ change of charter should be submitted
I to a vote OF the people OF the city Of
Memphis. Very promptly one Of the
Governors partisans moved that this
amendment go to the table and to the
table il went and Gov. PattersOn's
sacred principle Of local self govern
ment" went with IT,
II the people of Memphis were not
the people to be affected" by the pro-
posed change in their organic Law. who
was affected thereby, unless perhaps
it was the farmers OF Shelby county
living within a radius OF ten miles of
the city whom 1t was proposed to tax
without allowing them any share in
the blessings Of government which |
they were forced to support? This |
bill legislated out Of once the lawfully |
elected officials Of Memphis and de-
MED the people the right to elect
their successors, and yet Gov. Patter-
son has the brazen effrontery to talk
about restoring popular government"
and local self government"
Several penal statutes were placed
upon the books by the last legislature,
but the Governor never suggested that
one Of them be submitted to the peo-
pie for decision, except where the
sacred saloon keeper" was involved.
When the Governor wanted that $500
illegal salary raise. those forty-five
iollar dog irons and that $50 gas log /:
he did not ask the tax payers to de- |
tide the question. Although the ex- I
,enditure of public funds affects every :
ak payer in the State Gov Patterson
lid not ask them if they wanted him
o have a handsomely furnished v
mansion
The Governors election law vests h
he entire election machinery of the a
'tate, the right in fact to determine 4
he appointment of every election off, d
er in Tennessee, in three of his de- n
oted partisans and appointees and
ct he talks about ''local self govern
lent'' and the rule Of the people. In
MS connection the Governor also ex- y
resses his willingness to accept a 8,
omination for the highest office in a
lie State from minority of the peo- Fl
lie. But when the sacred saloon"
involved the Governors devotion to
cal self government reaches the !

Enemies of Mr.. Carmack have a
mighty poor opinion of the intelli-
gence of the railroad employees if they
think they can make them believe the
latest canard that The Herald has
declared that the former Senator does
not want their votes This paper has
too much respect for the intelligence
of the laboring men to think it neces-
sary to deny some of the campaign
lies that are being circulated against
Mr.. Carmack. OF course they know
that no friend of the Senator ever
intimated that he did not want the
votes of the laboring men. On the
contrary, they believe that he is en-
titled to and will receive large ma
jority of their votes. We believe
that the platform upon which Mr.. Car
mack is running, written upon the
statutes of Tennessee, will prove of
benefit to every class of
the States citizenship engaged in legit-
innate business pursuits and especially |
to the great masses of the laboring
people.

Ole Splitting Takes Miss Regina Bros
tod for His Helpmate.

The wedding of Mr.. Ole Spilling
and Miss Regina Brostod. which oc-
CURED at Stanton February 10, was
in accordance with the old Norwegian
custom and it was a notable occasion
for the 40 or more guests who were
assembled. Altgether the ceremony
occupied two days.
The wedding occurred at the hom.
of Mel Turgeson Of Stanton station,
and 1t was performed by the minis
ter of the Helix church. Carl Spill
ing, brother of the groom, and Alb
Abrahamson accompanied him as best
men, while Misses Karen and Anna
Brostod, sisters of the bride, were the
bridesmaids. The wedding march
was played by Jens Erikson. After
the wedding an elaborate supper was
given and the marriage was celebrat-
ed according to the customs of the
old country.
Mr.. and Mrs. Spilling will live on
the formers ranch near Juniper and
they have the best wishes of theh
many countrymen and others Of that
community.

ing the next highest grade. At the
time of company LIS inspection two
members were i'll and had written
statements to that effect been secured
the Pendleton company would also
have been credited with 100 per cent
present.
New Men for Company.
Within the past few weeks several
new men have been voted into COM
pany L and the ranks will be still
further filled shortly. However,
there are but few VACANCIES exist
ing. Within short time several ap-
pointments of non-commissioned Of
ficers will be made by Captain Kern
to fill vacancies due to the fact that
some of the sergeants and corporals
have left the city.
Company Made Money.
At the regular weekly drill by the
company tonight the committee in
charge of the recent entertainment
will make its report. The net profits
to the company from the extravaganza
were 1858, a sum that will help fl
nance the company through the sum-
mer.
Under the present scanty appro-
priations made by the state for its
guard companies 1t is necessary for
each organization to raise much mon
ey itself in order to meet running ex-
penses. The amount received annual
ly by company L is not sufficient to
pay the rent Of the Armory and the
hope of the local guardsmen is that
the people will uphold the armory ap-
preparation bill so that building can
be erected here by the state.

Referee Glow Refuses TO Consider
PendlctOns Claims of Game.

Further proof that Pendleton high
school won the basketball game here
Saturday evening is supplied in the
fact that the Walla Walla score
keepers book also shows Pendleton
had been awarded the point that should
have given tAe team the game at the
close OF the second half. When the
score was footed up here Saturday
the visiting scorekeeper likewise neg
lected to add in the point.
But while Pendleton's claim to the
game is complete, Referee Glow has
refused to award the same to the Pen
dleton boys. In phone conversation
this morning he stated that under the
rules his term as referee expired when
the game closed, so he can take no
further action.
