If we read carefully the journals o
to-day, and notice the trend of grea
minds. we will observe with pleasur
that many of them are interested AM
engaged in scientific investigation, tina
has for its object the betterment ant
uplifting Of the human race religiously
morally and physically.
We shall only have time and space tC
deal with the last mentioned in thi,
article quoting Washington Post We
notice in a recent series of lectures upon
mans protection against disease Prof.
Theobold Smith, perhaps the foremost
authority of the day in this branch OF
investigation, quotes with approval the
statement Of DIR. Rass (the discoverer OF
the life cycle of the malaria parasite)
that the wreck of ancient Greek civili-
cation was due, not to wars, but to the
insidious work of the malaria mosquito.
1t Slapped away the energies of the
rural population, killed off the fair
haired descendants of the original
settlers, and left instead, the more inn
mune and darker children of their cap
tiyes from Asia and Africa.
Thus the suicide of Grecian civilization
was caused by the ignorance of SAM
tation. Medical science has made great
strides during the last century and has
discovered the fact that the little insig-
nifcant looking mosquito is one Of the
most deadly enemies of mankind.
However, it is only because we have al
lowed it to become so.
In this enlightened age man has ar
rived at the knowledge whereby he can
protect himself against this deadly foe,
which can be conquered, destroyed and
eliminated from the face of the earth.
Man knows their habits, that their
lives are circumscribed, that they can
easily be cut off by using certain reme-
lies at the proper time. They are
harmless if not allowed to come in con-
act with diseases that they transmit.
In many places they are being used
New Jersey is one) as food for chickens
,eing caught in great numbers and
hen dried and pressed into cakes or
title bales and sold in the market for
owls-as hay is sold for cattle.
Our Government is now sending out
o Panama in great quantities anti
mosquito fish that destroy them entire
y. Would itnot be well for us in this
Southland to have those FISH
n our sluggish streams and stagnant

elves of this life destroying insect?

sorting to hasty and iniudicious con,
illusions, and use every legal means to
carry out the purposes of the law in
dealing with the men charged as muir
derers and accessories in the murder
of Capt. Quentin Rankin. The prison
ers will be held and the case taken up
in the regular order, SO far as we know.
All the material in the possession OF
the court will be exhausted to arrive at
the ends OF Justice, and when that is
done the courts will have discharged
their duty.
When the political factions in Tennes-
see who hold their views and claims
paramount to every other cause, who
religiously guard their rights to public
office with more zeal and fidelity than
discretion-when these factions meet in
the halls OF legislation, if, instead OF

revision of our constitution and laws, or

neglected.

Memoriam.

In memory of DR.. J. S. Jones and Reuben Ross
Just as the day was ending, just as
the sun was soon to shine no more in
June, 1909, God looked down and
claimed for his own two fathers that
shall always be remembered. Two COM
panions will miss them at morning,
noon and night; two little sons wait
and watch father who never more can
clasp them in their arms when they
come from work; two vacant chairs are
at their homes, two names are missed
at church. two brothers and sons are
gone. But weep not, dear brothers,
sisters and loved ones, for your loss on
earth is gain in Heaven. They were
laid to rest, Thursday, July 1, in the
Clemmons graveyard. DR.. ]. S. Jones
was born in Humphreys County, Janu-
airy, 1875, and was raised christian
boy and man, his father being Bap-
fist minister, the church of which he
became member at an early age. He
attended the Nashville Medical College
and graduated in medicine February %,
1898; his diploma was framed and
hanging on the wall in his bedroom
when he was killed. He was married
to Miss Evelen Wyatt, of Kentucky, a
few years ago. Two sons were born to
them, Jimmie d. aged years, and
Kelly Wyatt, aged Is months. DR..
Jones was popular in his community,
honorable, kind, pleasant and agree
ably courteous and industrious. Every
one that spoke of him spoke well. He
was a member of the Primitive Baptist
Church, attending regularly at Union
City.
Mr.. Reuben Ross was born and
reared near Waverly where, when only
boy, he married Miss Myrtle Hol-
ldiiu VI JIldI HldCe. 1NO SOuS were
given to them; one is three years of
age, sweet; light-haired blue-eyed
boy; the other is only seven months
old. Neither will ever know father s
love-will only have mother to care
for them. Mr.. and Mrs. Ross came to
Obion County in the spring of 1908. He
was "a years of age, and was well
thought of by all who knew him; was
member of the Christian Church soon
after he moved to Obion. He moved
to the DIR. Jones farm where, on June
80, at 4 O'Clock, God called him and DIR.
Jones from this world of sin, sorrow
and trouble, to where no troubles ever
come, no sorrow is ever known, and
where sin never enters.

ers, brothers, sisters and little ones;

Judge La wson.

Judge Andrew j. Lawson announce
in this paper this week as candidate
for reelection to succeed himself a.
County Judge of Obion County.
Judge Lawson is lifelong citizen o
Obion County, and is probably known
as well as any other man in the county
When the Judge was a much younger
man, it was his ambition to serve the
county in the Legislature. They bea'
the Judge. He survived this defeat and
ventured to offer later for Trustee, OF
some other office. Another defeat was
charged upito him. Eight years ago he
started out again, this time for County
Judge. The Judge hung out his ban
ner, nevertheless, and waited for the
worst. Time moved on and the cam
paign began to warm up, the tide was
turning, the Judge sat up and began to
take notice, and before closing days set
in it was apparent that Judge Lawson
was making good race.
When the smoke Of battle had cleared
away and the vote was counted, the
Judge had defeated all his competitors.
He had more than double the votes of
his strongest opponent, and nearly as
many as the sum total cast for all FIVE
of them.
A. J. Lawson was elected to be the
Democratic nominee, practically unani-
mously, and Endorsed in the general
election, and whatever doubts there
may have been as to his ability and
qualifications to fill the Office these have
long ago been dispelled. Judge Lawson s
record is familiar to every one old
enough to read the proceedings of the
County Court intelligently. He has
demonstrated the fact that he has the
ability and the courage to steer the af
fairs of the county in safe and judi
cious manner. He has proven beyond a
doubt his ability to lead in the manage
ment of the county finances. He has
proven moreover his ability to COM
mand the attention and respect of
the court. He has proven, among
those who have won distinction in their
respective stations, that he is entitled to
the credit of having largely increased
the value and importance of the posi-
ton of County Judge.
Everybody remembers how, during
the administration of Judge Lawson,
he has met all emergencies promptly
and efficiently; how on more than one
occasion the financial clouds have been
dispersed, and how other great and inn
portant- questions have been disposed Of
in similar intelligent manner.
While all these things are true, it is
also remembered that Judge Lawson is
man Of progressive ideas and not
afraid to advocate them. He has favored
the building of iron bridges, the estab-
lishment of a better system of improy-
ing the public highways, and in for
ward movement in the support of our
public schools. Everybody knows how
the Judge stands on all these questions,
and they also know that his record will
bear the closest scrutiny.
Judge Lawson enters the race for a
second term as a Democrat, asking to
be the nominee of the party as a Dem
ocrat, willing to abide the counsel of
his party. Judge Lawson's Democracy
is unquestioned, and if Democrats see
fit to honor him again there will be no
cause for regret. With these remarks
we take pleasure in presenting the
name of Judge Lawson to the voters of
the county.

What Remains.

The Commercial last week refrained
from saying anything in the way OF
comment upon the decision of the Su-
preme Court in the Nightrider case,
appealed from Obion County The ed
itorial comment from the Commercial
Appeal, however, was reproduced. This
was severe arraignment of the opinion
reversing the verdict of the Obion
County jury on grounds which were
designated merely technical.
Now comes John ]. Vertrees, one OF
the ablest lawyers in the State, in an
article which we reproduce this week,
supporting the theory that the Supreme
Court justices, those who reversed the
case, were endeayoring to do their duty
in the face of public sentiment-that of
guaranteeing the accused every pro-
vision of the law in their defense.
No man was ever free from that
quantity known as prejudice. No man
with pulsing red blood can be. He is
human and is susceptible of all the emo
lions, desires and intuition thath uman
flesh is heir to. In the United States a
new gulf is appearing, separating the
classes and the masses, and this gulf is
forming every day in the shape of def
mite proportions. Those W h o are
aligned on one side cannot give the
same liberality of opinion to the other,
and vice versa, those who hold to the
other side are jealous of their own in
terests and as blind to the scales of JUS
tice Therefore, there is a very wide
difference of opinion in regard to the
opinion of the Supreme Court. The
seed of prejudice has been sown, and
the chances of destroying the harvest
are not very encouraging.
In the United States the same con-
ditions are developing that have pre-
vailed in the older countries History
is repeating itself, and as long as the
human family exists will always repeat
itself. To him that hath shall be
given, and to him that hath not shall
be taken away, even that which he
hath. " The older the government the
more opulent and arrogant the rulers
and the greater the demand of excise.
Strained relations increase until a rup-
ture, and then begins new regime
and SO on, ad infinitum.
There is one essential point, however,
which will leave little cause for dis
agreement. 1t is in regard to the legal
or constitutional provision which re-
quires the juror to swear that he has
not formed or expressed an opinion in
regard to the accused In this the
twentieth century of progress and en-
lightenment such law is practically
obsolete, a relic of the early ages and
primordial conditions. There can be
no strict compliance with such law in
the present age of instantaneous COM
munication and rapid transportation.
It is nullity. The law is thousand
years old, and was cut to measure when
the people had no newspapers or direct
communication. How can it apply
now?
Still, as Mr.. Vertrees says, it is law
and as such must be upheld or subject
the courts to disrespect and finally to
disregard ad libitum.
v. In the meantime Judge Iones will
