ADMIRAL SCHLEY GREETS
COUNTRY ON 10TH BIRTHDAY

Washington, Oct. 9.-"I congratu-
late the American people upon their
wonderful growth, their great pros
perity and upon the tremendous pro-
gress they have made in the years dur
ing which 1 have been permitted to
see it,
This is the greeting which Rear
Admiral Winfield Scott Schley, who
directed the United States fleet at San
tiago, sends to his countrymen on
this, his SEVENTEEN birthday.
When seen tonight by United
Press representative, the admiral
seemed to be as happy as schoolboy
on a vacation and as spry as any one
twenty years his junior.
A brilliant autumn day was vouch-
safed to him for his birthday. Com
menting on this, he said:
There is sunshine without and sun
shine Within" touching his breast.
81 am 70 years old today, but l do not
feel it, nor do 1 let the fact worry me.
| never did believe in DR.. Osler and
his theory. l am not so good in some
respects as l was at %, but in others
perhaps l am better"
Referring to the recent speech Of
Representative Lands, in which he
called the American navy a bluff"
Admiral Schley declared mo one has
right to apply the term bluff to
the American navy, because it has de-
livered the goods OF course, l un-
derstand that Mr.. Lands had In mind
the helplessness Of a navy without
auxilaries to supply coal, etc. His
remark was meant not as a criticism,
but rather as an admonition."

LOCATE IN CANADA

Ottawa, Ont.-During the last fis-

on record and even exceeded the
number of arrivals from Great Brit
ain. They are chiefly experienced
agriculturists with capital.
Practically 10000 Americans enter

and child was possessed on an average

Col. w. g. Tatom Dead.

Col. VIM. G. Tatom, associate editor
of The American for many years, and
one of the best known journalists in the
State, died at his home in this city last
night after an illness extending over
several months.
For more than year Col. Tatom had
been failing, and since his return from
the command Of the military camp at
Reelfoot Lake, last November, he had
been virtually confined in his room. In
all these weary months he never lost
hope of ultimate recovery, bearing his
sufferings with patience and fortitude
until the last few days, when he lapsed
into semi-conscious condition, from
which he could not rally.
Col. Tatom had seen considerable
military service. He commanded the
Second Battalion in the Fourth Tennes-
see Regiment during the Spanish
can War, being located for some months
at Trinidad, Cuba. After the war he
removed from Knoxville, where he had
long been editor Of the Tribune, to
Nashville, to accept the position of as
sociate editor of The American, which
position he held up to the day Of his
death. Before going to East Tennessee
Col. Tatom had had considerable news
paper experience at Waverly, Union City
and Jackson.
AS writer ofpure, vigorous English,
Col. Tatom had few if any superiors in
the South. He had read much, being
well versed in literature,
ancient and modern. There were few
subjects upon which he could not dis
course interestingly and learnedly. At
times his writings would tend to the
humorous side of life, some of his most
brilliant work fairly bubbling with wit
and humor. Of public men he was
well informed, knowing their strength |
and their weakness better than most |
writers for the press. Col. Tatom had
an intimate acquaintance with more
prominent men in Tennessee than any
other Tennessee journalist. He made
and held friends among all men, being
of a genial and sociable nature, often;
too, despite his vigorous newspaper
criticisms of their actions.
News of his end at a period in life
when he should have been at his best
will be read with regret over the State,
and nowhere so much as among his
long time associates in The American
building. Nashville American.

We hope that Judge Jones will hold

either sends them back to the Supreme
Court again or turns them loose.
The cause Of justice in Tennessee re-
ceiyed yesterday, under the forms Of
the law, a staggering blow from which
it will take years to recover.
This opinion Of the Supreme Court is
splendid thing for the wretches who
killed Rankin like dog; but in its
technical, hair-splitting exaggeration of
the importance of trivial things, for
eign to the body OF the crime, it is a
shock to justice. Memphis

A Bad Day For Justice.

Yesterday was day of triumph fol
murder and lawlessness.
The Supreme Court, the highest
legal tribunal in this State, reversed a
verdict of an Obion County jury that
found six men guilty Of the murder OF
Quentin Rankin.
The jury based its verdict upon the
evidence and upon the law, as given to
it by trial judge. The Supreme Court
reversed the verdict upon the law alone.
The fact that the evidence over
whelmingly showed that the defend
ants were guilty of murder; the fact
that a.. upright citizen was murdered in
wy that shocked the people of this
country; the fact that there was con-
spiracy to assassinate law-abiding cit
zen, and that the law-abiding citizen
was assassinated, were not touched upon
by the Supreme Court.
In the written opinion, which we
publish in full, the court discusses moth
ing that took place in the trial after the
selection of the jury. That court paid
no attention to the facts of the killing.
The opinion may be a triumph for the
the technical letter of the law as to the
proper procedure in the selection of a
trial jury and grand jury, but after it
is rendered, the people of Tennessee
are confronted with the fact that a set
of cut-throats who did murder are all
but free.
That justice may get what is due it
for the murder of Rankin, is to-day al
most barren hope.
This paper has no wish nor desire in
any Incorporate language to criticize
the Supreme Court, and this paper
would regret that any expression on its
part would bring the Supreme Court of
this State into disrepute, but this paper
does desire, for the sake of the civiliza-
ton of this State, that the men who
killed Rankin be hanged by the neck
until they are dead.
Rankin was murdered, yet the ma
chinery Of the law is between his muir
derers and the gallows.
There was an extraordinary condition
in Obion County before and after the
murder of Rankin. Many people in
this county were terrorized. Some of
the officers of the law were secretly
sympathetic with the lawless spirit out
of which grew the murder. An oath
bound society bent upon murder, if
necessary to accomplish its ends, was
powerful in that community. Had the
militia not been thrown into the county,
no arrests would have been made. But
for the activity of the Attomey-Ge
eral, Gov. Patterson and the courage of
the trial Judge, no indictment would
have been found.
The ordinary use of the ordinary
legal machinery in that county would
never have secured a conviction 1t
was a time when a court of law, it
seems to us, had authority, in order to
secure the ends of justice, to resort to
extraordinary measures.
But because Judge Jones selected
jury from the bystanders, and because
some of these jurors had served upon a
panel within two years, and because,
1872 challenges had not been granted
instead of 25, and because the jurors
had read Taylor's statement and had
read Gov. Patterson's statement as to a
confession, but who said that notwith-
standing this they could give fair

Farmers Union, ministerial associa-

ganized workers of Nebraska should
rally to make the Nebraska Fedora
ton of Labor a powerful influence in
the social, economic and industrial life

rapidly growing manufacturing indus

laws be enacted for the propeor safe

ter in hand there is little likelihood
of results being accomplished At
this time 1 take occasion to point out
some legislation calculated to benefit
not only the workers and their fami-
lies, but to benefit the entire common
wealth.:
The enactment of a law providing
for the establishment of state board
of arbitration and Cancellation.
The establishment of state print
ing plant to the end that the state
may, in time, supply school text books,
state supplies, etc.
