Defeat is education to the thought

past and this year is likely to prove
one of the greatest educational years
to the democrats of Tennessee they ev-
or knew. 1t will demonstrate to
them that they cannot ignore the pur-
est and best people and succeed 1t
will also enlighten them that name
hasn't sufficient strength TO carry them
to success regardless of principle, and
that democrat precedents cannot be ig-
nored with impunity. Social democ-
racy means popular rule of the people
and industries. 1t may not be very

cratic2 Is it not we'll known fact it
opposes woman's suffrage, and in some
places declares against the initiative
and referendum and recall2 Now,
these things are all in line with popu-
lar rule and is good democracy. Yet,
if we wish the people to rule, well
have to get rid of much of the ideas
inculcated by the present democracy.
The Democratic party needs champ
ion at its head to fight and overcome
the demons of rum and plumber. We
don t need party that upholds such
things for they grind the face of the
poor. It's becoming very prevalent
that poor man will have to starve,
steal or commit suicide. l know facts

yet it is necessary to state them occas-
ionally. Too many homes are homes
of poverty and misery. For us to pass
them by as not worthy Of consideration

COAL MINE YIELDS
81 MORE BODIES

The following is dispatch from a
Cherry, Ills, paper. forwarded us by
a friend.
CHERRY, Ill, April 12.-"All
alive, p. m, November IA.
This, the latest message from the fa-
tai st. Paul coal mine, was brought to
light here with the recovery of 81
more miners bodies which had been
entombed since the disaster of last No.
yember 13.
The bodies we're taken from the low
1er level, 300 feet below the ground.
The men had retreated to a space 90
feet square and had constructed rude
fan to keep the air circulating. On
the fan in big letters were chalked the
words quoted above, indicating the
men had lived at least until the dav
after the fire. Evidently the men had
taken turns at the crank of the fan,
for one of the bodies had fallen over
the handle. as if he had died while
struggling to maintain an air current
That the miners we're in the habit of
keeping their savings on their persons
was shown by the amount of money
found on the bodies. One miner had
in his belt 81, 400. In the belt of an
other miner was found $3.50, and an
other had $172.
These men were foreigners, and evil
IDENTIFY preferred to carry their money
in their clothing rather than deposit it
in banks. In the pockets of some of
the mems clothing were found letters,
but these were too badly obliterated by
water to be deciphered.
A report was circulated that evil
dence had been brought to light with
the bodies indicating that the men had
lived for six weeks after they had been
sealed up in the mine, and that they
had existed ON corn taken from the
mules stables. Sheriff Skoglund, of
Bureau county, made thorough in.
vestigation of the report, examining
all the evidence taken from the men s
clothing, and said it was untrue. He
believed the men had died Of black
damp, probably few hours after they
had written the memorandum on the
fan.
It was declared by the mine compa-
ny's officials that all Of the 300 or more
miners entombed and killed by the dis
aster have been accounted for. A
number of bodies located have not yet
been brought up, but within few
days, the officials say, the story of the
tragedy will be ended and the mine
cleared

MURDER CHARGED
Against David and Meredith
Wilson of j. Glen Martin.

TRACY CITY. Tenn, April 26.-
David and Meredith Wilcox, brothers,
one farmer and the other coal min
er, were arrested Tuesday afternoon,
near Stevenson. on a farm, charged
with the murder of j. Glenn Martin,
whose body was found eighteen
months ago lifeless upon the ground at
lonely spot near this place. 1t was
first claimed that Martin, who was the
son of F. B. Martin, of Chattanooga,
president of the Sewanee Fuel & Iron
Co., had committed suicide, as his
pistol was found near his body. This
his father refused to believe, and de-
tective after detective was put on the
case, with the only result that the su-
icide theory grew more and more un-
tenable. Finally Mr.. Martin engaged
the Chattanooga law firm, Cameron q
Tatum, to work on the case, and Mr..
Tatum secured detective in the per-
son of John Brown, man at one time
a deputy sheriff in this county, who
was prosecuted for murder by Mr.. Ia
tum about six years ago when the
strike was in progress here. Brown
was leader of the non-union miners,
and was charged with and indicted
for murder, but acquitted. This man.
a mechanic by trade, Mr.. Tatum hit
upon to solve the mystery, and little
by little he has gathered facts enough
to warrant the arrest of the Wilcox
boys Dave Wilcox, the older, claims
to be % years old. He is married and
has three children. His brother, Meri-
ditn, is also married, but has no child
ren. Both deny any completely in the
crime. Meredith has been recently re-
leased from the workhouse for selling
whiskey. They were lodged in Jail at
Chattanooga, but will be brought to
this county for trial. Neither resist
ed the officers, who were deputy Hack
worth and Detective Brown, although
Meredith tried to make get away.
