AL Washington IS rapidly falling IN

The Washington Herald 10 open up and
populerize Rock Creek Park.
What the people want they VIII even
tually obtain. and IN this case they are
out after something the city has been
in need OF Tor a long time-a large park
which citizens Of al classes may reach
at little or no expense and use. either 20
escape the sweltering heat OF the sum-
mer or for athletic sports That Rock
Creek Park Is eminently suited for such
purposes, and should so be employed, is
the unanimous opinion OF all who have
the city's welfare at heart.
Mr.. Shea's Views.
Nicholas H Shea expressed himself
yesterday as being decidedly in favor OF
the park at Rock Creek being made more
easily accessible and better known 70
the citizens Of Washington.
Il think the idea is admirable" he
said. and should by all means be carried
out as It undoubtedly will Washington
assuredly needs such a park. which can
classes. The development and throwing
open Of the park grounds should. how
ever. not be done in an unrestricted
manner, nor should any Of the natural
beauty of the grounds be destroyed
The athletic fields should be In charge
OF responsible persons. who would have
the power TO exclude ali Objectionable
characters. and who would be answerable
for the care-taking Of such fields
There would be no necessity of cutting
into any hillsides or OF Telling trees IN
order 70 provide level spaces for athletic
fields. There are plenty of level stretches
suitable for that purpose. notably on the
Fourteenth street and Connecticut avenue
sides.
If the wagonette system is introduced.
would suggest that the vehicles be OF a
quiet and private-appearing type, and
that only u limited number be used. No
class OF citizens should exclude the
other"
COmmendable Plan.
T. c. Dulin. ~ the firm Of Duiin &
Martin. said yesterday that the project
Of making Rock Creek Park better known
to all Washingtonians was q most com
mendable one.
so much has been said concerning
the different ways in which the park
could be developed. II would be hardly
possible for me TO suggest new ideas.
However. wish especially 20 recommend
the construction Of two or more entrances
that would be commensurate with the
inner beauty Of the park At present a
person passing would have no idea from
the outer appearance of the park of the
superb natural scenery within, unless
he were attracted by a fitting and strik-
ing entrance. 1t would be desirable also
TO have car lines running up to these.
IN fact. every means should be employed
TO make the park a place, not only for
those who are fortunate enough TO own
carriages or automobiles. but for every
class OF citizen, and especially those who
have to foot IT,"

improvements.

A considerable amount of building is
being done in Union City this year, not
withstanding the fact that business over
the country everywhere has been rather
quiet, 50 stated by those who are au-
thority in these matters.
One of the prettiest homes now to be
seen in Union City is the residence OF
Mr.. and Mrs. F. ]. Smith on Third
street There are also the two pretty
new homes of Mr.. Bob Bats and Mr..
Joe Prieto which have recently been
completed, both adjoining and improv-
ing their respective localities.
One Of the most imposing structures
will be the residence of E. P. Grissom
on Third street, now in the frame and
assuming general proportions. This res
idence is to have about ten or eleven
rooms with suitable Railways, porticos,
verandas, ETC., and will somewhat met
amorphose the appearance of the old
time boulevard leading into Union City
when the finishing touches have been
made. Uptown on Church street Brans-
ford & Andrews have two nice cottages
on one side and Thad Lee on the other,
which have rejuvenated and revived the
appearance of that part of the city.
Some of the more extensive improve
ments are the new StovalI buildings on
TRY street adjoining the Bracllin prop
erty Mr.. Stoyall has moved the old
cottage to the southwest corner of the
lot and improved it throughout. He is
also having new residence built on the
old site, an ample, attractive, and COM
Portable home for the use of himself and
family, These new houses will add
greatly to Try street.
Edwin Whites new residence in the
southeastern section is also one of the
late additions to that part OF the city,
which was built up last year. Near the
Dr. Edwards residence a bungalow cot
tage is also being erected under the di-
rection of O. Spradlin.
In speaking of the new homes one of
the most attractive we have seen for
some time is the one recently completed
by Chas. Everett, one mile west of the
city on the road leading to Troy and the
lake. There are none in the city or
elsewhere of the same size and outlay
which will excel it in general appear

For County Court Clerk

Chas. S. Talley, a well known citizen
of District Number Two, announces
this week to the readers of The Com
mercial and their friends that he is a
candidate for County Court Clerk OF
Obion Couty, to make the race under
the rules and regulations prescribed for
the nomination of Democrats. Mr.
Talley was reared in the county, attend
ing the public schools and enlisting for
number of years in the teaching pro-
fession. Of late years, however, he has
been engaged solely in farming and is
recognized generally as citizen of the
most substantial and useful type For
six years Mr.. Talley has been an hon
ored member of the Obion County Court,
being successfully elected in his district
as Justice of the Peace. -Four years ago
he made the race for County Court
Clerk and was defeated by a very small
margin. He was easily the second
choice, and feels that this is one of his
strongest claims to be presented for the
consideration of voters.
Mr. Talley is man of unquestioned
honor and integrity. His qualifications
are of the most suitable and commend
able character. He is broad and con-
sentative in his views, courteous and
pleasant in manner, His ambition to
achieve the oest results will serve him
well, if elected, to make the county
good, efficient and attentive officer.
The gentleman is loyal, thorough-go-
ing Democrat, and his claims are sub
iect to his party and its principles.
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1909-03-26

the original titles to lands covered by
water and overflow of Reelfoot Lake
cost very little. What the West Ten
nessee Land Company paid for them
we do not know, except from the evil
dence in the investigation. What they
are worth to-day we have no way of
computing except from this evidence.
That there has been an increase in value
there is no doubt, from the interest Ia
ken in the matter and the trouble that
has been caused.
We believe there are members of this
land company who are usually consci-
entious. A full and exhaustive inyes-
tigation of this matter might show that
they are making concessions. But sup
pose the price is little high; if the land
cannot be bought cheaper, should the
State of Tennessee let the amount stand
between it and the chances of crime and
plumber and rapine and riot
The State should own the lake, even
at the price named, and any hesitancy
on the part of the Legislature to buy
would meet the disapproyal of a very
large per centage of our people, and
mistake that would be inexcusable and
would be laid at the door of
the General Assembly,

Southern Democracy.

Men with personalities like Carmacl
or Cooper are always regarded witt
strong attachments. They have theil
friends, each according to the favor;
he is able to confer or to the influence
of his character, whether good or bad
Strong men naturally draw around them
greater following, especially as they are
able to maintain position of prom
inence in public affairs. The measure
OF these friendships is more or less
demonstrated in political rivalries and
struggles like that through which we
have recently passed. So it is that the
lines have been drawn in Tennessee,
and no matter what the verdict in the
Cooper-Sharp trial might have been
there could possibly be no general APP
prevail In Tennessee it is a war of
Democratic factions, and around the
leaders of these factions the struggle
was naturally intensified The climax
was reached in the editorials which
mentioned the name of Colonel Cooper.
Carmack's life was threatened and in
the space Of few hours he had been
killed. The reports said murder, Mrs.
Eastman, who was present, said muir
der, the trial was held and the Coopers
found guilty of murder in the second
degree, and yet the factions are apart.
Mrs. Eastman did not see the first shot
and no other witness saw it. Just ex-
actly how it happened no one knows or
ever will know, outside of the Coopers
Would the Coopers hide the facts to
save their necks? Would you?
We do not propose to sit in judgment,
but the fact remains that strong men.
good men, leading men, continue to
differ with the same tenacity, perhaps
greater, than ever before, and the
chances of reconciliation are very re-
mote. The party is torn, and if the
fight is kept up the hope Of ascendancy
in Tennessee is not the brightest
Therefore we do say that the cooler
judgment needs to prevail. There are
equities in the suit, but these are in the
province of the courts The party must
decide its own fate, and that depends
upon the calmer and more rational
Judgment of cooler heads than those
which have recently led its fortunes.
How important it is then that the
erstwhile leaders should relinquish the
reins to a conservative spirit. The party
is greater than its leaders or any one of
them, and its principles are greater than
either The dislodgment of Democ-
racy in the South means dissolution.
The purest Democracy is not in the
East, and hence the importance of heal
ing the breaches in Tennessee.

Take a Reasonable View.

The gentlemen commissioned by the
Legislature to investigate the titles of
the West Tennessee Land Company and
ReeIfoot Lake relative to its conversion
into public hunting and fishing pre-
serve for the benefit of citizens of the
State did not state last week the price
asked for the property, but the news
papers obtained information that the
amount was $75, 900. A great deal of
criticism followed many people think
ing the price exorbitant. Attack on a
mans private business usually arouses
him quicker than other matters of that
nature. 1t is therefore natural that
those directly interested should feel the
weight of the criticism.
1t has always been our opinion that
the titles to Reelfoot Lake have been
more or less obscure, but men who have
traced these titles say otherwise. Not
outstanding it is well known that many
of the older citizens have had an inter-
est in these titles. 1t is also well known
that citizens have profted in times past
by land deals in which the. title was
cheaply obtained, the increase in value
bringing them large returns. No one
was criticised for this. 1t is likely that

ance and design. Itwas evidently built
with view to comfort, having large,
unobstructed ventilation, and well pro-
tected rooms; at the same time none Of
the features of symmetry and approved
architecture are lost.
All of these new buildings indicate a
healthy condition of business and fl
nances in Union City.
