No patriotic Tennessean concerned
for the future welfare Of his State can
read the statistics Of the iliteracy OF
this State without being impressed
With the fact that our school facilities
have been and are wholly inadequate.

nessee viii continue TO be far down in
the list of States IN Lliterates. There
has been improvement during the past
decade, but there is abundant room
for more progress According to the
returns made TO the State Superin-
tendent last year nearly one third of
the children of this State of school
age can neither read nor write. This
is a record that must cause alarm.
1t is time to stop and take stock.
There is something wrong. This
State has great colleges and universe
ties, but it is not educating the mass
es of the people in the elements of
education.
According to the last census there
were $4,000 native white persons be-
tween the ages of ten and twenty
years in Tennessee who could neither
read nor write. Although Tennessee
is the twenty-first State in point of |
population, but one State in the Union
had larger number of nliterates |
among it's native born whites and that
was our neighbor to the East, North
Carolina. There are twenty-three
States which in the aggregate have
fewer native born white illiterates
han the single State of Tennessee.
It is now too late to do anything for
he nearly $4,000 who, nine years ago
we're without the elements of educa-
ion, but We can prevent a repetition

REPUBLICANS KICK


In its issue OF Sept. 10th. the Tul
sa Daily World. one of the leading
republican newspapers OF the state,
published an editorial in which Aid
rich, Cannon. Payne and other legis
lators through whose influence tn,
tariff was revised upwards were mer'
cilessly roa,ted. One Of the choice
paragraphs of the editorial is as fol
lows:
because he has stubbornly anC
arrogant'y opposed every effort o.
the ceoble for better laws and better
government Aldrich has fallen under
the suspicion Of the people. He has
to use slang expression, beer
Caught with the goods dozen
times"
The editor then takes president Taft
down the line and recites many of the
campaign promises made by the pres
ident for d downward revision de.
claring that the people believed that
Taft meant what he said at thai
time. The World then says:
because of this record understood
by all men, it is with i'll concealed
amazemept and displeasure that the
people have viewed the apparent
growing disposition of President Taft
to accept the Aldrieh view point and
make common cause with the Rhode
Island Senator.
Farther on. speaking of the en-
dorsement of Taft, the editorial
quotes as follows:
when the President, 10 "A speech
in Boston came out squarely for the
man who most bittery fought these
proposals and policies which he went
into Office pledged to continue. BY
that speech President Taft crossed
the Rubicond. Henceforth his ad .
ministration 10 linked with Aldrich.
To endorse the administration il is
necessary that one also endorse Al
drich and Aldriehism. II the coun-
try refuses to to do that tho n IL must
also refuse to endorse Taft's admin.
istration.
This editorial Of the Tulss World
expresses the views Of NINETY per
cent of the oklshoma people in re-
gard to tariff revision. The cid
sdag. says that straws show which
way the wind is blowing. In Okla
homs we do not have to depend on
strsws. Everything points TO a
condemnation of Aldrich. Cannon and
the upward revision of the tariff.
An avalanche of public opinion will
sweep over Oklahoma and when il
has passed it will be discovered that
Mcclure. Creager and Morgan are
conspicuous by their absence in the
legislative field. Cannon cannot be
condemned unless these three cen
gressmen be condemned with him as
they have stood for all'tbat he stands
for.

putatiOn that the Hawaiians are prone

latter portion OF said Act providing
that any part OF the land so leased

poses is useless to the public whose

ticket, last year, the Hawaiian Demo.
crafts. residents and voters OF the Third
Precinct, First Legislative District, on
Hawaii, held a meeting and adopted
the following resolution to be present
ed to the Congressman now visiting In
Hawaii.
II reads thus:
To the Delegation OF Congressman
Visiting Hawaii:
Honorable Sirs:-For the reason
that your, brief visit to the Territory
will not enable YOU to meet the people
In all the various districts and ascer.
tain directly their chief needs which
Congress alone can supply, We have
therefore called this mass meeting In
the Third Precinct, First Legislative
district for the purpose OF expressing
to your our opinions. which In our
Judgments, should receive your first
and greatest attention and considera.
ti0h. " --S ''.'
First-We are residents of and vot-
erb In said Precinct ard those attend.
inf this meeting and attesting their
Concurrence in this report, are prin.
cipally Of the Hawaiian race. As such
wei feel that the public lands OF Hawaii
Constitutes a heritage of all the people,

thfoughout the Territory should be al.
lowed. at last. to participate on equal
ena reasonable terms with all other
citizens and without any discrimination
whatever, E.s ~"
81 We have been told and no doubt you
will be told that such has been and is
now the practice under the local ad.

In this, however, We are unable to
skrse. Experience has shown us that
The great variety Of the modes OF dis
potition OF the public lands In Hawaii
works unequitably as to the poor man.
Several classlhcations OF lands are
provided for under our forest laws and
th0dkh less plainly stated. several
classics OF citizens are anticipated.
Thus: The 9S9-year lease is said
to- be especially provided for the Ha-
waiiRns TO the end that they may be
saved from their own improvidence but
