arises from what is transpiring now
Secondly, the people of Tennessee

for Gov Patterson, whose position
with regard to the issue was well

simplifed the situation, which is now
complicated and distracting. Such a
course would have obviated any sus-

QUARTERLY CONFERENCE AT
ST, JOHN A. M. e. CHURCH.

The first quarterly conference OF
the fiscal year was held at ST. John
A. M. e. Church, beginning Sunday
and ending Monday night. DIR. 7. w.
Haigler, the presiding elder, con-
Quoted the services. The weather
was cloudy and threatening in the
early part of the day, but neverthe-
less the attendance at the Sunday
school was larger than it had been
for several Sundays. The new teach
ers for the year were installed by the
pastor. Presiding Elder Haigler made
a short talk to the Sunday-school.
At eleven o'clock the services were
we'll attended. DR.. Haigler preached
an able sermon. The climax of the
day was reached at the afternoon
services. Rev. w. Sampson Brooks,
pastor of St. Paul A. M. 3. Church,
was to preach and fully half of the
people in the audience were mem
bers and friends from his church.
Nearly every seat in the large audi
forum was filled. st. Paul choir fur
nished the music for the afternoon
services, and great credit is due Mrs.
Saunders for the excellent singing
rendered by the visiting choir. Rev.
Brooks preached an able sermon. He
is one of the best informed ministers
in the country having travelled ex.
tensively in the old world. The large
audience gave close attention to the
sermon and seemed to be deply in
terested in the discourse.
The occasion was the second union
/ meeting between African Methodist
churches of the city. The ministers
have agreed upon this method in an
effort to create a deeper interest on
the part of the people. The first
meeting was held at st. Paul A. M. B.
Church in December. Rev. A.
Brooks, the popular pastor Of ST.
John A. M. E. Church, preached at
that meeting. The arrangement
whereby the several congregations
come together is growing in popular
ity. and the indications are that much
good will result therefrom.
The quarterly conference at ST.
John A. M. E. Church closed Monday
night very successfully. All assess
ments were met up to that date DR..
Haigler spoke in very. complimentary
terms of the work under the new pas
tor. Rev. w. A. Brooks, who was
transferred from the East Tennessee
Conference.

ployed to serve. After the first Ian
GERS the guests were served with
fruit nectar with cherry in it. The
nurses wore their class colors with
carnations. The evening was well
spent and highly enjoyed. During
one number a mazurka, the music
was stopped and Mr.. 2. X. Jones of
the senior class made presentation
speech, presenting Miss White with a
solid silver puff box which was a gift
from the nurses.
The race for Salutatorian and Vale

some of the spokes, but with his char
acteristic cool-headedness he was en-
abled to check the frightened animal
before further damage was done, thus
"hero-izing" himself in the eyes Of the
young lady beside him.

THE UNIFIED STATES SENATE.

The old saying that the worm will
turn finds verifcation in the late dec
laration of the United States Senate
that it intends to move out from UNI
der the shadow of the heretofore
dreaded big stick and assume its
pristine perogative as part of the ap-
pointing power of the government,
which has been almost entirely mon
opolized by the man of destiny, our
great Theodore But this late raising
of it's bristles and uttering frothy
bravado on the part of our great and
august national body against a man
who is on the eve of relinquishing the
reins of power make it the quintes-
sence of pitiableness.
When the echoes from the footballs
of such men as Clay, Webster, Cal
houn, Hayne, Benton, Sumner and
their respective colleagues subsidized,
as those mental and epoch-making
giants passed from the halls of Con
gress to return no more, they sub
sided. it seems, never to be awakened.
Could Mr.. Roosevelt's whip-hand have
driven all or even one of those men
to do reluctantly his biddings? Would
any of them have stood supinely by
and allowed him to ride down consti
tutional authority, even though it af'
fected only the rights of a weaker
brother?
Now that the President is about to
quit the strenuous life in the political
arena and enter upon it as mighty
Nimrod in Africa, chasing lions, ii
gers and elephants and lassoing bot
constructors, crocodiles and hippopot
amuses, Congress, both Houses, is east
ly piqued at anything he says or does
lit seems almost emboldened to snatch
the "big stick" out of his hand ant
give the owner a resounding whack
1t has nearly enough temerity to d.
the boys act and knock the chip OF
his shoulder. The House hit at tn,
chip when it laid part of his mes
sage on the table, because of the chas
tisement received at his hand.
Our easily offended national law
makers by their capers in the way o
angry outburst and demonstration
give the impression that they ar
affected with some sort of malad,
which will, if Mr.. Roosevelt does no
go to Africa, eventually merge int
brain storm"

GOV. PATTERSONS MESSAGE.

The Governors special message to
the General Assembly of the State of
Tennessee relative to prohibition on
Monday was an able one, deserving
calm and dispassionate consideration.
By an array of strong arguments he
set forth the futility of any law that
has for its aim the regulation OF mems
appetites. The Governor lays down
several propositions which he discuss
es at length. He holds that prohibi-
ton will not prohibit and reasons
upon it in the following way:
Under the interstate commerce
clause of the Constitution of the
United States, and its Interpretation
by the courts liquor is recognized as
a commodity or trade just as flour,
clothing, shoes or any other article.
"The state is as powerless to pre-
vent shipment of liquor to the people
of Tennessee as it is to prevent the
shipment of any other commodity
which may enter into interstate trade.
1T follows therefore that, until the
United States Government itself for
bids the manufacture and sale of liq-
uor. or refuses to allow its shipment
to a State, it is not possible to have
a prohibition law. Those who claim
the contrary either do not know bet
ter, or, knowing better deceive the
people"
Continuing this line of argument
by way of comparison, the message
reads:
LET the comparison be made be-
tween Knoxville and Chattanooga.
Who will say the conditions in Knox
Vile are better than in Chattanooga?
'Are the people happier or better
in Knoxville than in Chattanooga? Is
there more employment for labor, and
is it paid better wages? Are rents
higher? Is there more building? Are
more houses tenanted in Knoxville
than in Chattanooga?
rs not the only difference so far
as liquor is concerned that it can be
obtained in Chattanooga legally anC
openly, and can be obtained illegally
and surreptitiously in Knoxville
The prohibition law to which Knox
vile consented is not observed, while
the laws are observed in Chattanooga
IF the law will not he observed
where the people consent, how car
we expect it to be observed where
they do not Consent?"
If prohibition laws have not accom-
plished the purpose for which the!
were enacted in other cities and states
will one he effective against blind ii
gers, h0otlegging and every other con
ceivable device or subterfugc of iva
sion in Nashville, Chattanooga, Mem
phis, or in Tennessee?
There is something strange and sin
gular about tn ~-o0jc's actions il
dealing with this prohibition issue.
First, the issue was ably discusse
in a series of debates by the late MI
Carmack, for prohibition, and Coy
Patterson, for local self-goveramen

Oklahoma, handed down by Judge
Campbell, a Greek freeman, Zeke
Moore, who had been fraudulently dis
possessed of one hundred and twenty
acres of land in the oil producing dis
trict was restored to his rights Of
possession. The decision carries with
it not only restoration of the land,
which is valued at $500 600, but also
a royalty of ten per cent of all the
oil that has been taken from the wells
on the property. This stroke nj good

1t is strange, but true, something
has caught every one of these con-
spicuous misanthropes Of the Negro
race-Tillman, of South Carolina,
Bailey, of Texas, Davis, of Arkansas,
and Vardaman, of Mississippi. Each
has been shining mark at which
the cold, unmoving finger of Justice
has pointed with relentless certainty
until retribution has overtaken him.
The timbered land Of Oregon led
Tillman astray, the golden shekels
of Standard Oil tempted Bailey, and
Vardaman and Davis were caught on
general principles of their inability
to say anything besides cursing the
Negro.

The eight nightriders who were
tried at Union City for the murder of
Capt Rankin on the night of Oct.
10, 1905 were found guilty, six for
murder in the first degree, with miti-
eating circumstances, and two for
second degree. Judge Jones ignored
the recommendation of mitigating cir
cumstances and sentenced six to death
and two the penitentiary for twenty
years. He put it squarely up to the
Supreme Court of the State as
whether there were any mitigating
circumstances about the dragging of
Capt. Rankin and Col. Taylor from
their beds, numbering one and attempt
ing to murder the other.
