TENNESSEE ON THE MEND.

The decent and patriotic citizens OF
Tennessee have taken the first decd

this apparently means that Patterson

When Patterson has been kicked out
and the minor offices OF the state
cleared of his underlings, natural par

Democrats OF Tennessee could not

Patterson and his cohorts were SO
strongly entrenched that nothing short

NEGRO LEAGUE MEET
Annual Meeting Held at Normal
SchooI-Member Repapres Re-
port OF Wcrk.

The Virginia Negro Anti-Tubercu-
losis League held its annual meeting
at the Hampton Normal school this
week, when officers were elected and
plans mapped cut for continuing the
fight the league is making against the
disease among the negroes.
Capt. Allen Washington. mead OF
the cadet corps at the school, has pre-
pared the following account OF the
meeting for The Daily Press:
About a year ago last summer dur
ing the Hampton Negro Conference,
there was organized a State Negro
Anli-Tuberculosis League. Since that
time there have been meetings held
in many Of the churches at which
times tuberculosis was discussed by
physicians and insurance men and
leaders of the race. We feel that this
has been productive of good. Rich
mond has done good work along that
line Meetings have been held in
most of the churches and these people
instructed in regard to tuberculosis.
Hampton has not been behind as sew
eral meetings have been held in the
colored churches of Hampton and
Phoebus, the attendance OF all have
large. and marked interest has been
shown.
"Wednesday afternoon the election
of officers for the ensuing year was
held at Hampton Institute and the fol-
lowing officers were elected for the
year: President, Major r. K. Motion,

ALIMoNY AND DIVORCE.

The practice OF many of the courts
OF granting extfavagrant alimony is
believed by Judge william Gushing
Walt. OF the Massachusetts Supreme
Court, to be a potent factor in til
promotion OF the divorce evil. The
Judge is quoted as saying:
without passing criticism, but sim
ply stating what ! think TO be obvious
conditions, may say that | think that
such liberal alimony is an incentive on
the part of avaricious spouses to seek
divorce. II the courts were less liberal
In the awarding of ailmony In might
be that some of these persons born
in poverty and raised TO wealth by
reason of marriage might not by 80
anxious TO sever the tie that bounu
them to the one from whom they re-
cejved an income. Granting that
ayarice may lead some persons to
marry another OF the opposite sex be-
cause of money and luxury. the at'i'
tude of some Of our courts in granting
an extravagant alimony seems TO pu'
a premium on divorce for such avari'
cious persons.
When actresses who. by hard work.
might earn fifty dollars week for
few years and who probably have
lived on one-tenih that allowance,
are granted upwards of thousand a
week in alimony from rich husbands,
indeed 1t is not surprising that the di-
yorce evil is growing.

ceived. somebody has to pay II. That
is too obvious TO admit of argument.
Equally obvious is il that ii is the

The blind senator's charge should
be probed to the bottom. From all
accounts the Indian lands have proven

Perhaps an investigation will reveai
a situation sadly needing the attention
