Remarks Not Justified.

"Your committee has carefully con
sidered the remarks of the gentleman
from New York, continues the re
port, land finds that his remarks con
cerning the president are not justified
by any considerations of the constitu
tional duties or powers of the house
that they transcend proper limits ol
criticism in debate: that they are de
structiye of that courtesy, respect and
dignity which ought to be preserved
and that they ought not to remain In
the permanent official record OF the
proceedings in the house"
The committee claimed that 1T was
impossible to separate the objection
able remarks from the remainder OF
the speech and that the only way to
eliminate the remarks considered out
of order would be to strike out the
entire speech.

Today is a general holiday throughout
Cuba and from all the six states men
prominent in the political, commercial
and social life of the island have gath
cred to attend the inauguration. The
principal officers of the American
troops still in Cuba, reinforced by the
officers of the American warships in
the harbor, made brave showing in
their dress uniforms The inaugura-
parade of the rural guards and other
Cuban troops, in which the American
soldiers did not participate, as it was
thought that their presence in the
procession might recall too strongly
the fact that for more than two years
the island has been under foreign
domination.
Congratulations for Gomez.
At the close of the ceremonies Pres.
ident Gomez was warmly congratu-
lated by the foreign ENJOYS, who ex-
tended to him the good wishes OF
their respective governments for the
welfare of his country. A conspicuous
figure was Mgr. Aversa, representing
the Vatican. Many messages of con.
graduation were received, notably
from President Roosevelt and VIII.
lam H. Taft, president-elect of the
| United States. He has many friends
among prominent Cubans.
Word of the taking of the oath OF
office by President Gomez was sent
to the American battleships Maine and
Massachusetts, lying in the harbor as
Representatives of the United States
Igovernment. Immediately the shores
of the harbor began to echo with the
reports Of a presidential salute fired
in honor of the new president by the
| two vessels The booming of the
lguns was greeted with applause by
the crowds of Cubans, who hailed ii
as the sealing of the official recogni
ton by the United States of the new
government.
The second American occupation oil
Cuba by the United States began In
September, 1906, when the resignation
of President Tomas Estrada Palma
since deceased, was followed by q
short period of disorder III the isl
and. Under the Platt amendment the
| United States interviewed and estab
lished a provisional government in
the island, with William III. Taft as
provisional governor. Judge Taft was
succeeded in October, 1906, by Charles
e. Magoon.

MURDER STILL A MYSTERY
Foil Confession of Suspect Expect.
ed When TRIAL Begins John
Cash is Held for Murder.

Bristol, Tenn, Oct. 3l.-The case of
A. j. Shagle, the Jonesboro lumber
man, who was murdered and his body
thrown into the French Broad river,
near Newport, is still mystery, de-
spite the confession of John Cash, the
youth, who says he saw John Hyden
Spencer commit the crime and helped
him to dispose of the body.
The general belief now is that the
secret of the murder was buried in the
breast of Spencer, who committed sui
eide by drowning himself in a rain
barrel at the home of the dead man,
when he learned that he was suspect
ed of the horrible crime. This much
is certain, that Slagle went to Newport
to keep an engagement with Spencer
to get out an imaginary pot of gold,
which Spencer claimed to have hid
den in the mountains, and upon which
Slagle had advanced him more than
$4,000. He never returned, and his
body was found week later with the
hands and feet tightly bound and the
head beaten to a pulp, in the river
near Newport.
Cash will be tried shortly, before
Judge Coleman, on the charge of hav-
ing been principal in the grewsome
murder, and his confession that he
witnessed it and afterward helped
to bind the limbs and throw the body
in the river, will be used against him
He is only about 20 years old and ig
norant, though called shrewd, The
theory is that he has not made a full
confession. The tragedy has aroused
much interest in East Tennessee.

The messenger from unseen lands;

She only crossed her little hands,
She only looked more meek and fair!
We parted back her silken hair,
We wove the roses round her brow
Wrapt her from head to foot in flowers
And thus went dainty Baby Bell
Out of this world of ours.

STACY HELEN LYLE

The Angel Of Death has once more
called at our home and taken from us
little Stacy Helen, our baby girl. For
three years and seven months only this
little darling had been permitted to
brighten our lives, and with scarcely a
moments warning, in the midst of
sturdy health, the precious soul was re-
called by Him who has said, "Suffer
the little children to come unto me and
forbid them not, for of such is the
kingdom of heaven
Last Saturday morning at O'Clock
Gods finger touched her and she slept,
after battling all night with Group.
The human heart is truly wonderful
structure. Each child builds its separ-
ate estate in the heart, yet never crowds
it, and when one dies the suffering
seems in no way relieved by the num-
Der living.
Some writer has said that "when we
weep, we weep alone" This is not
true in the sense that we have no SYM
pathy in our deepest Affections, but it
is true only in that we must bear our
suffocating sorrow alone. We alone
miss the pattering feet and lisping
tongue, just as we alone enjoyed them.
Our hearts are emptied only because
they only were filled. The mystery of
death is so profound that it is hard to
keep human hearts from rebelling at
death. God knows how we tried to
keep her, how we ministered to her
wants and plead with Him to let hei
get WE'LL but in His infinite wisdom He
thought best to take her back.

ACK HALE WANTS PARDON

Bristol Tenn, Oct. 3l-It is posi-

FAILURE OF COMPUL-
sorry PRIMARY LAW
Continued from page |

The Nashville American comment
ing upon the decision quotes from it as
of superior significance, the following
extract;
Who will undertake to give a single
sound reason why the estate board of
election comissionersn and the two
"boards of primary election commits
sioners, elective by the joint vote of
the general assembly," shall not first
be nominated in primary election,
just as the state officers and Uuited
States senators are required to be, and
all of whom are likewise selected by
joint vote of the general assembly?n
If this was a mere oversight, it was a
grave and unfortunate one.
This will be taken as conclusive by
most people of open minds and at once
satisfy every fair-minded citizen of the
necessity for first having laws consist
ent with justice and right and drawn
in accordance with requirements of
the organic law before we make too
strenuous demands for their enforce
mentS. The chancellor did not refer
to it in his opinion but the fact is this
law, as. does the new election law,
breaches very plain constitutional
inhibition against the selection of any
Fcounty officer in any other way than
by the people or the county court
With this il-advised law out of the
way the democracy of the state stands
in very much better attitude for reach.
