LEGISLATIVE AGREEMENT.

See in this issue the letter rela-
1--WE to al agreement now in force
in this Legislative district.
We are pleased to say to our
friends, the Democratic voters of
Menefee who always roll up big
ma jorities for the ticket. that if
there is any desire for Montgomery
Democrats to violate this agree
ment we have not heard of it. On
inquiry we ascertain that our com
mittee has no intention to do other
wise than abide by it. If for
any reason the writer wished the
agreement cancelled, he could not
ask it until AFTER MENEFEE had
had the same privilege of selecting
a candidate as has come to Mont
gOmery.
This is fair, honest dealing. If
Menefee Democrats VOLUNTARILY
relinquish their right, the situation
is changed.

The Mt. Sterling Commercial
Club has done fine work in bring
ing to pass needed improvements
and should be encouraged by the
entire population of the city,
women and men. The depot will
be built, as will the Government
building, and if this was all that
had been accomplished 'twould be
sufficient to command the plaudits
of an appreciative public. Wonder
how many taxpayers in the city
fail to render encouragement to
the Club? Mt. Sterling has other
needs and should get them.

GOVERNOR
Vetoes, Bill Passed BY Tennessee
Legislature.

The Senate of Tennessee passed Statewide prohl-
bition bill by vote of 81 to H. The House adopted the
same by vote of 81 to &c.
THE BILL.
The first days event of legislative session was the IN
PRODUCTION in the Senate by Mr. Holiday OF the Statewide
prohibition bill. The bill provides "That it shall not
hereafter be lawful for any person to sell or ppe any IN
tOXicatng liquors, including wne ale and beer as Dev-
erage within four miles of any schoohouse public or pri
vate where school is kept whether the school be then
session not in this State and that any one violating
the provisions of this act 81 all be guilty of misdemeanor
and upon conviction shall be punished by fine Tor each
oense of not less than $50 than $500, and i'm
prsonment for period of not less than thirty days nor
more than six months.
'1t is further enacted that the grand jures shall
have and exercise nqustoral power in respect to viola
ons of this act and it shall be the duty of the Circuit
and Criminal Judges of the State to give the in
charge to them"
REASONS FOR VETO.
On Tuesday, January 49,, Governor Patterson vetoed
the bill. His chief reasons are:
Gov Patterson charges that such legislation is against
the Democratic platform and the doctrine of selfgOvern
ent that it sets aside the recorded will of the people,
that experience has taught that arbitrary prohibition
law obeyed, and it's enactment brings settle
ment of the question: that it destroys property reduces
State revenues increases taxation takes money from the
people to send elsewhere foments dscord impas the
dignity of the Commonwealth fosters hypocrisy and in
vites evasion and deceit in the people.
The Governors ideas about hypocrisy discord reve-
nue., etc. received firm rebuke by both the Senate and
House, who by the original majority set aside the Gov
ernors veto quick they had chance. The bill be-
effective July LIST of this year. and after that
date the who SELLS will be punished.
MANUFACTURE PROHIBITED.
To further show how the people of Tennessee regard
the whiskey business both houses of the Legislature on
Thursday and Friday passed bill to prohibit the MANU-
FACTURE of liquors in the State the bill takes effect Jan
uary l, 1910.
The Governor is expected to veto it. and it will be apt
to become law as did the SALE BILL

We heard a young man remark
last week that, |'The world owes me
a living" 1t is hoped for that young
mans good that he'll get the notion
out of his head. It's a mistake, a
grave mistake. He never entertained
more foolish idea nor one which
will bring him a smaller measure of
respect. The world owes the young
man nothing; but instead he owes the
world and society an active, noble
manhood, steady, honest energy
which will enable him to associate
with decent men and women in a true
manliness of character that will make.
his friendship valuable and his pres
ence and companionship desired. The
truly intelligent activity, and this
young man should contribute to So
ciety's happiness and welfare the
grace which comes through study, tot
and honest thought.

A Langlade county man is auth

A Langlade county man is author
ity for the statement that the
voters of that county are not
overly stuck on F.. A. Morse as a
representative in congress for the
Tenth district and that if any other
man of good standing comes into the
field that it will be mooted question
about Morse carrying the county. He
is not strong man in any way to
look at him, They look upon him as
political accident which might have
happened to any person at that time
who had the gall to get into the race.
1t is common thought over there
that he is weak in every respect for a
congressman and while the citizens
appreciate the prestige that goes
with having congressman from their
midst, they feel Inundated by what
fate has given them. Wood county
can capture the prize by uniting on
one man and by giving him good home
support, Even Langlade county &C
knowledges that and undoubtedly will
give material assistance to nominate
and elect him. Morse is surely losing
ground every day.

wort then a Halfbreed--, anything to
win. In every postoffice contest in
his district since he has been Con-
gresham, this is the experience of
others as we'll as ourself. Further we
know of no man in his district. that is
now supporting him, excepting men
who are postmasters i'm his district,
or holding some government position
under his recommendation From
our most reliable information in
Washington, and throughout his
district, he is considered san acct.
dent" and reported to be the weakest
man in Congress and the least quail
fed for the pace. 1t is true that we
shall do everything we can between
now and election time to acuualnt
our readers with the true character
of this man Our reasons for this are
not because he failed to recommend
our re-appointment, but from the
correspondence and intimate acuuaint-
ance we had with him during the
pOStOtfice contest. He now pretends
to be HaIfbreed. yet during his
first term he appointed .Stalworts as
postmasters. Now he courts the
favor of the Halfbreeds and wants
their support for reelection. We
understand that very few of either
factions Of the Republican Party
have any interest in him. He will
have opposition, and we shall do
everything in our power to open the
eyes Of constituents ia this district.
We want Brother Johnson and all
other new, paper men and Republicans
in this district to understand our
true position.
