Answers "A Veterans and Wants
to Know If He Thinks Hooper
Has Repented of His Acts
To the Chattanooga Times.

To the Chattanooga Times.
L noticed in your issue of the 10Th a
letter from an old Confederate soldier.
in which he is soliciting votes for
Hooper and trying to palate the feel.
ings of other old soldiers for Hooper's
acts while in the legislature of Tennes-
see, by saying: "He voted that way
because he was then hot-headed
young man-Same as we said id
yankees. ! want to ask this old VET
eran if he thinks Hooper has repented
OF SO deliberate an act; that of denying
to an old soldier, forty years after the
war closed, what he, the old rebel,
would not have denied id yankee
in the heat of battle-a crust of bread?
You old Johnny Rebs, please desist
from embracing Hooper till after Octo-
Der 6, for if you keep at it and Hooper
keeps shedding those crocodile tears
that he told you about in Nashville,
his heart is liable to bust" and then
think OF tive would't have any
candidate at all for either party for
governor Hooper repented-Bosh!
Men don't repent of deeds so deliber-
ately prejudiced as that of voting to
deny bread to an aged soldier-forty
years after the war is past. know
there are few soldiers of either the blue
or the gray that can respect such pre-
judice. There were republicans in that
same legislature, schoolmates of mine,
who told me they voted for the pen
Sioning of the old Confederates, and
said that they did it with the greatest
Of pleasure. A true soldier of either
army will commend the action of nv
republican friend who voted for that
bill. A true soldier of either army can
not commend Hooper's action, and /
am strongly of the opinion that the
of Confederate soldiers who
will go into the booth and vote on No
vember for a man who has used all
,he power he had to keep them from
having their daily bread will be SO in
initesimally small that it will take
to find them.

The Districts Finances.

A carefully matured and unanimously
Endorsed plan to meet the financial needs
of the District Of Columbia, and at the
same time provide for the payment of
the Districts bonded and floating debt,
will come before the House District Com
mittee to-day.
1t is known as the Judson plan, because
evolved by the Engineer Commissioner
Of the District, and is a simple, practical
proposition that has won the approval of
all who have analysed it thoroughly. II
has stood the test Of months Of discus
sion The civic and trade bodies are
united in its support The Board of Dis
trict Commissioners, as body. earnestly
recommend its adoption. Never before
has a measure Of its Importance received
such unanimity of approval.
Primarily. the plan eontemplates the
carrying forward of the great permanent
improvements by a system OF financing
that will entail no undue burden upon the
present generation. or necessitate unwise
inroads upon current funds from year to
year In short, it puts the affairs OF the
District upon an equitable. businesslike
basis
Congress will do much toward advane-
ing the best interests Of this National
City by adopting the Judson plan And
we hope TO see a prompt and favorable
report by the House committee.
