The Investigating Counsel.

A few weeks ago this paper mentioned
the fact that Governor Patterson had
settled upon Mayor Hugh Barr, of
Dresden, and Mr.. Puryear, Of the east
ern portion Of the State, as his choice
for counsel IN the Reelfoot Lake investi-
CATION matter, also that a number here
had suggested the name of Judge Swig-
CART as a suitable man for the place on
account Of his familiarity with the sub
Ject. 1t was not the intention to urge
the claims of one man here against
another. We are, however, interested
to the extent that one or more attorneys
from Obion County should be included
IN that investigation as counsel and
since the names of Morris Miles and
Aubrey Whipple have been mentioned
we see no reason at all why they should
not be indorsed They are both young
men of ability, character, intelligence
and worth. fit were left for us to sug-
gest plan we should say that the en-
tire commission of assistant counsel
should be made of Obion County law
yers, with one Of the older lawyers and
others from the younger members of
the bar. As to whom these men should
be we see no reason for a wrangle but
if it has been suggested by the friends
Of the Governor that Mr. Miles and Mr..
Whipple would be good and suitable
talent for the commission we heartily
and cheerfully indorse the suggestion.
As far as we know there have been no
candidates for these appointments, and
there Is nothing in the act specifying
the number to be appointed as assistant
counsel. Therefore we say that the ap-
pointment of either Mr.. Whipple or Mr..
Miles or both would be a good one and
we cordially indorse it. We have moth |
ing to say against any others, except
that Mr.. Puryear is too far from the |
locality concerned. We have further
more to say that there is no excuse for
the Dresden Enterprise to handy the
names of the aforementioned gentlemen
around in little cheap, unintelIigible
sarcasm and effrontery They have not
deserved it and there was no call for it.

floats and marching delegations stretch
ed out over a distance of two miles in
length, including a large delegation from
Washington, ID. G. And thus the great
temperance wave sweeps on. The people
are behind it. They are having the

The Country Editor.

Gov. johnson, of Minnesota, was {
country editor He was in sympathy
with the masses of voters, and they were
in sympathy with him. Though
Roosevelt and Taft carried the States by
large majorities, Mr.. Johnson was sew
eral times elected Governor. He, more
than the Governor of any other State,
recognized the country editor in making
appointments. On this subject Gov.
Johnson himself said in recent article
in the Youths Companion:
1t has often been said that Minnesota
is governed by the country editor. This
may not be strictly true, but certainly
the fourth estate" is more numerously
represented there in public than in
any other commonwealth. The Gov
ernor, his private secretary and execu-
tive clerk are country newspaper men;
so are the labor commissioner, the exc
cutive agent of the game and fish COM
mission, the State oil inspector, the
State librarian, the Secretary and As
sistant Secretary of State, the Assistant
Labor Commissioner, the State Fire
Warden, the Assistant Fire Marshal, the
Deputy Public Examiner, the Secretary
of the Dairy and Food Commission, the
Assistant Clerk of the Supreme Court,
the Secretary of the Board of Control
Although the country editor does not
govern every State in the sense used in
the above extract, it is true that all the
country editors together weld power
full influence in governing the State
wherein they reside.
This is especially true of Tennessee.
In the temperance fight last year the
country press did yeoman service for
the cause of material and moral prog
ress. The influence of country
weekly is not confined to its own coun-
Try by any means.
The people in each county want to
know what the papers of all other coun-
lies are saying on topics of general in
-erest. By reproducing the views of
he State press, a daily with large Cir
,ulation throughout the State can dis
'eminate views of country editors felt
ar beyond the territory covered by his
OWN subscription list
The Tennessean has long made State
press views an interesting feature of its
EDITORIAL page. Nashville is as much
in this department as are our
ural subscribers. In this way the
ountry editor helps along a good cause
lot only in his own and other rural
but in Nashville as well.
In the campaign just getting under
Roadway, the temperance people of this
tate will read with great interest the
tate press views in the Tennessean,

A Fine Fair.

The fall fair at Union City is now ir
progress with the best and finest stables
of horses ever seen on the fair grounds
at this place, and so far probably the
best display of exhibits in the various
branches of county fair. The crowds
are coming in also, and the prospects
are for a decidedly more successful
meeting than we have had since the
West Tennessee Fair Association was
organized President Farris is more
than agreeably surprised a. the number
of fine horses we have, and in every
way the fair has so far exceeded his
most sanguine expectations. The fair
here has met with great many draw
backs il the past, but this meeting
seems to be the beginning of one of the
most successful fairs in the State and the
turning point the in development of fair
which is surrounded by better local
conditions and tributaries than any
other in the State, with the single ex-
ception of Maury County, perhaps, in
many respects.
We shake hands with ourselves and
all our friends in the success of this
meeting, and sincerely hope 1t will
stimulate the officers and the public to
a greater and more imposing fair and its
enterprises.

eatrical,

Frank Dudley and his clever stock
company are again at Reynolds Opera
House this week and the house is
crowded nightly to see a new repertoire
of theatrical entertainment. The first
nights bill was The New Dominion, -
an interesting comedy introducing lit
tie OF the Southern atmosphere mingled
with touch of German flavor. Mr..
Dudley was seen for the first time here
in the line of German character. He
was also in a position of lead, which
made the work more interesting. He
had just enough of the dialect to seem
easy and natural, and his reading was
like all his other roles very complete,
intelligent, and artistic There is one
thing, and very essential one, about Mr..
Dudley which does not require a keen
observer to detect. He is not only the
leading actor, but the spirit of his plays.
An actor may be ever so much stu
dent and accomplished in his work, but
unless he has the temperament and the
magnetism, he cannot hold the audi
ence. This was noticeable Monday
night. With the first little German
lesson the play began to warm up and
before the curtain in the last act the
audience was delighted. Dudley is
postmaster at love making. Polished
and sincere he is altogether convincing.

BOSTON. Mass, June 29.--You can't
be in Boston long these days without
thinking of Seattle
Boston has found out what is the
matter with itself. Seattle has probably
done the same thing more or less. But
Boston has gone step further. 1t is
making one vast, tremendous pull-to-
gether effort to set itself right.
It believes it can succeed. Can it?
Well, Boston-which means all of its
leaders in every walk of life-is so sure
of it's success that it is going to make
an exhibition of itself in 1915.
Seattle has grown, as all other Am
erican cities grow, like Topsy, in a
topsy -turvy fashion.
Boston has grown the same way, but
it's tired of it.
"Cities the world over" says Edward
A. Filene. head of the Boston move
ment, "have in the past grown unguided
but a change has come in the world
Cities are being planned now"
Who Can Be Architect?
And the thing in Boston that thrills
vou is this planning. Who can be arehi-
tect of a city? Who would be the archi-
tect, for instance, of Seattle?
Not business men alone; not experts
not millionaires; not park makers, but
the people.
And the wonderful thing in Boston i,
that they have found the way in which
all the people can work together. They
are going to work desperately for tho
next six years, and in 1915 they are go
ing to invite the people of the country
to Boston They are going to exhibit
their city, their city government, theil
mayor, their factories, their wharves
their parks, their homes for laborine
men, their city indebtedness, their bust
ness houses. their schools-ther whole
city in its every aspect.
Toilers the Backbone.
The first thing that Boston discovered
in preparing for the coming exhibition
of itself is that the backbone of the city
is not its business interests, but IL
| toilers.
The first thing to do in Boston
they all admit it, bankers, heads O
public service corporations, manufac
turers, all of the men who are common
ly called "the kid glove clement
to give the toiler plenty of wages, *
that he win be happy and hopeful an'
have chance to save and keep his fam
lily happy and healthy and give his chill
dren a sensible education.

THE A.F.ofL.
ENDORSED
Women Pay Tribute
Labor Movement

SEATTLE, July G.-The National
American Woman Suffrage association
will not take up the battle for the pro-
hibitionists unless those desiring such a
step petition it from the floor, for the
resolution committee which has the
question under advisement reported it
unfavorably to the convention this aft
ernoon.
In the minds OF the resolution com
mittee, the association has enough to
do to take care of the voting question.
A strong resolution endorsing the
Changers association and the American
Federation of Labor was reported ia
vorably by the committee for the rea
son that these and other organizatio ions
had endorsed suffrage
In telling phrases the resolution com
mittee recommended extreme measures
in the question of child labor. For a
time it was thought to term it child
slavery.
The last and most emphatic resolu
tion was the one endorsing the six
teenth amendment to the United States,
which gives the women the right to
vote
The association will use every method
possible to secure the passage by con-
gres of the sixteenth amendment next
spring
An interesting exhibit of the press
work of all sections of the world deal
ing with the suffrage question was
shown during the afternoon.
Immense suffrage banners sent from
the English sisters were the features
of today's session of the National Am
erican Woman Suffrage convention,
which will hold its closing session at the
A.-Y.-P. f. ground tomorrow, and the
hanging of the banners which have gone
through many campaigns in the strug
gle the English women are making to
secure the ballot created considerable
interest.
