E. II. Hartman Dead,

e. II Hartman, the wizard of the
| financial world, died at bis palatial
home at Arden, New York, Sep
tenn Der 8. In the death Of this half
billionaire the world has another
lesson in the folly of accumulating
colossal fortunes. The energies of
/ life are worn beyond the power of
enjoyment after such achievements,
and in most cases, the soul has be-
come calloused with greed and self
| ishness. 1t were better to die poor
with the treasure laid up in the
world to which one Is bound than
to be torn from it corrupting here
In the railroad world Hartman
was a magician. To his touch rail
road systems responded with inn
provements and prosperity and
yielded 80 the fnancier harvests of
shekels. While the moralizing is
not out of place whenever occasion
affords. the worldsh has need Of such
men as Edward II Hartman. The
great enterprises necessary to the
present civilization, need the con
structive brain and clear sighted
ness of such men as he TIE pro-
leetion and successful operation of

ethical sense, the pens of biogra-
pliers must he STEPPED in silence. AZ
the colossal fortune left by the rail
road king reads not a tale Of char
ity and benevolence. The financial
world. however, feels the shock Of
his departure. and the mantle Of
the wizard, doubtless, is now in

EXCERPTS FROM GOVERNOR
PATTERsoN's VETO MES
SAGE

Under this Poll Tax law as pre-
requisite for voting poll tax must be
paid as under the General election
law. and in my opinion this provision
imposes an unusual and unnecessary
hardship upon the voter and will pre-
vent a large number OF people from
participating.
This is the first attempt by the Leg
islature to limit by such a require
ment the right of a member OF any
nolitical party to express his choice
for party nominations, and | believe
it is an unconstitutional requirement.
Under the Constitution of Tennes-
see there shall be no qualification at
tached to the right of suffrage, except
that each voter shall give to the
Judges of the election, where he of
fers to vote. satisfactory evidence
that he has paid the poll taxes as
sessed against him."
The terms right of suffrage" and
election" as used, have no reference
to the choice and It's exercise by a
member of political association or
party in the mere naming of candi-
dates for Office.
But if the Legislature has the right
to impose this limitation, it must ap-
ply it to all or the law is partial.
Does this primary law again make
exceptions in this particular?
Without question the exclusions
are more numerous that the inclu
sions. For under some other plan
of nominations all the State officers
expressly excluded from the opera
ton of this law a poll tax would not
be required.
In nominations for county officers
under the primary law, payment o.
poll tax would be necessary, or il
some other legal method" was EN-
ployed by the county committees, i
would not be.
So instead of having uniform pri
mary law applicable to all officers
as some people have been led to be
lieve, our party nominations are to b.
thrown into confusion, with excep
tons here, limitations there, restric
lions without reason, and back of
all the ominous and menacing powe
of election boqrds to declare and I'll
vacancies in party nominations.
No Pledge From Voter or Candidate
The omission to require pledg
from the voters to support the nom
nees is another serious objection t

the primary plan, and neither is there
a requirement that the candidates
themselves shall be pledged to sup
port their successful competitors.
Before casting his ballot the voter
is required to do many other things,
to some of which l have already allu-
ded, but this simple requirement OF
good faith is not eXacceG.
This might have been an omission
when the primary law was intro,
duced, but on the passage of the bill

fered and voted down requiring the
voters to pledge themselves, and
some reason must have existed for
this action though none is disclosed
in the bill itself.

Other Unreasonable Provisions c
Primary Law.

The time for hosfing the primary
elections under the bill is the first
Saturday of April, 1910
This date is both inconvenient and
inopportune. It is unprecedented in
the States history to make party
nominations at so early date.
To do so it will be necessary to
have midwinter campaigns, when the
people can not assemble to hear po-
litical discussions.
Furthermore, the farmers are very
busy about the first of April, and
many cannot spare the time to attend
the primaries and will, therefore, be
disfran chised
This time of nomination to the
time of election for State officers es-
pecially who are voted for in NoVem-
Der, is altogether too long, and will
keep the State in constant political
turmoil.
l have heretofore rererred to the
poll tax requirement and shall again
in different aspect.
They must be paid as before point
ed out before voting in the primary
and become delinquent on the first of
March.
This provision of the bill will fur.
ther disfranchise thousands of voters
who, from lack of attention or ina
bility, will not pay their poll taxes be-
fore the first Saturday in April
Another serious and, 1 think, vital
objection to this primary law, is the
enormous expense which it will nee
essarily entail upon the candidates
This may be borne by those who have
or can command money, but the poor
man can not offer for Office under
this plan. He would not only have to
bear the ordinary expenses which
this unjust and unfair primary plan
would impose, but in Section AZ OF
the bill the committees are empow
cred to assess the candidate, and
such assessment, to use the language
of the act, may be declared a con
dition against becoming a party nom
inee."
mistake the temper or independ
ence of the people if they submit tt
such unparalleled usurpation of theil
rights.
They do not know of these laws
or the Legislature would dare no
pass them.
It is my duty, in the independence
, of my office, to inform them, which
I am doing in the method designated
by the Constitution, with the hop,
that before it is too late, wiser coun
ellis will prevail, and the Legislator,
will reconsider its action.

Moreover, after he has won it back
where it belongs, he must be more
careful concerning the man he gives
it. to.
Our opinion is that if there is one
man in the country who can defeat
Johnson it is Jeffries, but it is also
our opinion that to do so he has to
go lot more than the proverbial
some. In other words, we mean that
until big Jeff" has met and disposed
of Johnson we refuse to regard him
as the champion.
-
If Jeffries is through with the fight
ing game for good and all he is re-
membered as the heavyweight that
could beat them all and who retired
at the height of his glory. But if
he is not through with the fighting
game for good and all he has no sport
ing right to boast what he would do
to Johnson and talk loosely about his
prowess concerning the same individ-
ual unless he is willing to meet him
in a match-and in that case he is
not through with the fighting game.
AS general rule the. man who
throws mis- hand down on the table
has right to watch and criticise
the play so long as he does not in
troduce into his criticism the first per-
son singular.
Basketball season closed at Fisk
University several days ago and from
reports the season was very success
full one. The four teams represent
ing the different classes put up very
creditable games of ball and the en-
thusiasm at times reached very high
degree There was always friendly
rivalry and the supporters Of the diff
ferent class teams were always out to
cheer the boys along. 1t is surpris-
ing fact, yet it is true, that the people
out in the city have taken great
interest in the sport and were going
out at every chance to see the games
Basketball is fine sport and anyone
athletically inclined will like the

1t is pointed out by men who are
friends of Jeffries that he can make
thousands of dollars in vaudeville
without making a match with John
SON This is all true, but nobody ever
supposed he was an actor There is
no reason in the world for paying ad-
mission to see Jeffries do his stage
stunt except that he is the man all
the country interested in sport wants
to see sign with Jack Johnson.
The vaudeville business is great.
We hone that Jeffries makes a mil
lion dollars out of it, if that is posi-
BILE. But we refuse to regard him any
longer as the heavyweight champion,
Johnson is the man that owns that
title, and if Jeffries wants to regain
it he must meet the negro and win it.
