Texas Morals.

Chicago, Jan. 1S.- Texas is the
most moral State in the Union, says
Will L. Sargent, of Fort Worth, who is
in Chicago. Under the existing laws,
which are really enforced, you cannot
play cards on trains or ii any public
place, the women have to forego their
euchre and bridge whist parties, or else
prohibited. The fine for carrying a re-
volyer is 800, and, in fact, K is hard to
get hold Of such weapon Any man
who kills another now is quickly and
surely punished. The saloons are her
metically sealed on Sundays. must
close at midnight, and three quarters of
the counties have local option.

nessee impels me to suggest. 1t is {
general primary law. In these wing
footed days, wIieA minorities too Otter
outrun majorities OF the race track O
politics, the old-time convention has
degenerated into farce Nand the citi-
zenship of most of the StaSes ia the
union has long since kicked it into the
limbo of wrecked theories and shat
tered dreams.
The plan of holding primary eiec-
tions unguarded by strong aihd binding
primary laws is the open door to fraud
and corruption, and the expense of a
nomination under such system, es-
pecially for the higher offices, amounts
to prohibition against poor man.
Officials are not elected for their own
benefit but to subserve the public inter-
est, and the State ought to pay for it, SO
that poverty may not bar fhe door of
opportunity to any man under the flag
who aspires to serve his country and to
rise to high and honorable position.
Il have long been an advocate of the
primary system as the only jrist and fair
way to ascertain the will of the majority
and the only reasonable method of Sc
curing peace and harmony in the party,
but it must be a legalized primary,
backed by the power of the State, to
preserve the purity of the BALLOT and to
guarantee to every citizen an equafyoice
with every other in the selection Of cam
didates for public office.

ED MARSHALL ON TRIAL.
Jury Panel of One Hundred Sworn
The Proof.

The trial of Ed Marshall, one Of the
most prominent farmers of Obion Coun
| ty, was called in the Circuit Court Mon.
day morning.
| The defendant was not present when
his case was called, as he had been adj
vised by his lawyers that it was not
necessary for him to be there. The
State lawyers insisted that no action be
taken during his absence, and recess
was taken until he could be commhlni-
| Gated with. Since the trial has been
set every effort possible has been made
by friends of Marshall to have the case
postponed by agreement, but in this
they have failed.
When court convened Monday morn
ing the court ordered the defendant, Ed
Marshall, called. Mr.. Pierce stated to
the court that he would waiye the pres
ence of the defendant for the purpose
of orde~ing the panel. Gen. Caldwell
statedt hat he desired the attendance of
the defendant before ordering the panel.
Mr.. Pierce insisted that he could and
had the right to waive the presence of
the defendant, and asked of the court
few minutes to present his authori-
ties. Gen. Caldwell then moved that
the panel for the jury be selected by
the Judge ia person in the manner as
was done in the cases of the State VS..
Garrett Johnson and others. This mo-
ton was allowed. The court then or
dered the panel of one hundred men
returnable here at l O'Clock Tuesday.
Marshall came into the courtroom at
11.30 O'Clock and the hearing began.
The defense made motion asking that
the cases charging Nightriding be tried
as they appeared on the docket, there
being eleven docketed ahead of the in
dictment against Marshall The motion
was overruled and the defendant was ar
raigned, making the plea of not guilty. |

FAvoRs PRIMARY SYSTEM
"only just and Fair Way Will of the
People.

Washington, Jan. 18.-"Will the
Tennessee State Legislature, which has
| Just overridden the whisky machine
pass mandatory primary law" is :
subject that is being discussed greatly
by the Tennessee colony here. All the
Tennessee members of Congress seer
by The Tennessean correspondent dur
ing the past few days seem to be great
ly in favor of such law, although they
do not feel like making any public
statement on the subject, not wishing
to get mixed up in the local fight,
which they have found possible to keep
out of to the present time. However,
it would be expressing the sentiments
Of practically all of the members OF
Congress from Tennessee to say that
they want a primary election law in
their State, and they would like to have
it before the present Legislature adj
journs.
Judge Sims has given the primary
subject considerable study, as practiced
in other States of the country, and he
is more than enthusiastic in declaring
that his State should fall in line with
the many States that have adopted the
primary system and found it SO salts
factory Condensed, what Judge Sims
had to say when asked to state his
views on the primary subject for The
Tennessean, is as follows:
Il am Internationally in favor of a
mandatory primary election law for
the nomination of United State Sena-
tors, Representatives in Congress, Gov
ernor and all other State and County Of
ficers applicable to all political parties. !"
Practically all Tennesseans familiar
with politics know that Senator Taylor
has been, and still is, in favor Of State
primary law. He really is now more
over it than ever, and has
spoken his views on the subject many
times here to his friends since he re-
turned to Washington.
On the request of your correspondent
Senator Taylor has made the following
especially for The Tennes-
sean, outlining his reasons, why, in his
opinion, the present Legislature should
pass mandatory primary election law.
The statement is as follows:
Il would not if / could, and could
not if / would, dictate to the Legisla-
-ure of my State any policy or measure
% be enacted into law. The prerogatiye
% legislate is theirs alone, and they |
ought to be left untrammeled and free
o act as they think best, according to
he dictates Of their own consciences,
or the greatest good to the greatesS'l
