INSTRUMENTATION.

It is evident that the administration
organs, especially the trio of dailies,
the Nashville American, Chattanooga
Times and Memphis Commercial Ap-
neal are engaged in a campaign OF
MISREPRESENTATION against the reform
forces of the Democratic party. Al
most every day Nashville dispatches to
the Memphis and Chattanooga papers
give proof that the reformers need
expect anything but fair and honest
treatment from the administrator
bureau.
In giving an account Of the meeting
OF the state Committee authorized
nv the recent State Wide conference
It was stated that this committee
had been called into being because
of the nomination of Hillary Howse
for Mayor of Nashville. Nothing
could be further from the facts. The
committee was appointed on Septem-
Der 81 two days before the Nashville
primary and was temporarily organi-
zed on that date and adjourned to
meet at a later date for permanent
organization. The committee would
have been organized II there had
never been an election held in Nash
Vile and no one knows this any better
than the political correspondent OF the
Times and the Commercial Appeal,
who evidently aspires to be a rival OF
the Mole Saint Nicholas fakir or
member of an Ananias Club.
The American attitude is the most
reprehensible of these papers. II pro-
fesses friendly interest for the moral
forces Of the state in one breath and
in the next misrepresents their every
movement. The Commercial Appeal
and the Times do have the fairness
and the honesty to openly declare
their animosity to every movement
that is calculated to improve the
moral conditions in the State and
purge the commonwealth Of the ma
chine that has no sympathy with any
reform.
The Statewide forces should be
constantly upon their guard. They
should be slow to accept any state
ment concerning the movements OF
their leaders published by the opposi-
ton press unless they have other
proof OF its correctness.

JOHN LATTA.

When John Latta withdrew from
the race for Mayor one of the most
faithful public servants and best citi-
Gems that this county or any other
county ever knew retired to the peace
and quiet of private life. We cannot
suppress an expression Of regret that
circumstances were such that Mr.. Lat
ia found that it was impossible tor
him to continue in the contest.
there is a better citizen or one more
deserving of the confidence OF his lei
low citizens than John Latta we have
never had the pleasure of his acquain-
lance. With Mr.. Latta the privilege
of American citizenship meant some
thing. He willingly assumed all OF
its burdens and its responsibilities
He was a good citizen every day III
the year; every hour had its duty ana
where duty called he went no matter
how dark the night or tempestuouS
the day. His life in this community
Is worthy of emulation. He carries
into private life the good wishes anu
the tender sympathy of hundreds Oh
men and women living in all parts Oh
Maury county.
With John Latta life was real anu
It was earnest. He felt that he hau
a mission to fulfill and with all OF MS
strength and ability he set himself 10
discharge that obligation. He never
shirked. He was stranger alike u
physical and moral cowardice. But
there was never a suggestion OF Ihe
bully or the braggart about him ~
his credit it can be said that durlhs
all the stormy years of his service do

abused his authority. He was III"

There is, now, more disease among chill
dren than was ever the case in the past, and
as result of this, the molecular structure
of the teeth is spoiled as the teeth become
formed. The perfect tooth. without ifs
sures, or clefts, or pits, is rarely found, ex-
cept among children who have been very
carefully watched during their years of
rearing. Faulty molecular structure of the
teeth is accentuated by the mischievous
dietary of the children, and the more de-
fective the enamel, in point of superficial
condition, the more predisposed is the
