Mr.. Taft's Confession and
Avoidance"

his solemnly judicial condemna-
ton of Mr.. CLAWS in his sweeping
acquittal of Secretary Ballinger
last September, can be valued best
by considering what its probable
effect upon public sentiment would
have been if he had disclosed it's
facts at the time he decided the
CLAWS Ballinger controversy.
Suppose the President had stated
then that Mr.. Lawler-Secretary
Ballinger's subordinate and his
partisan in the controversy-had
drafted the Presidents opinion in
deciding the controversy, and that
the President had adopted this
draft as his own with such altera-
tions as he now says he made in
lit, what effect would that explana-
ton have had at that time?
Wouldn't it have discredited the
Presidents decision from the
start?
A similar test applies to the
Presidents admission that At
torney General Wichersham's
lopinion in the Same controversy
was written and filed after the
Presidents decision, and was
antedated so as to make it appear
upon it's face TO have been written
before and filed with the decision.
Suppose this admission stated
| precisely as the President states it
| now, had been endorsed upon the
Attorney Generals opinion and
published with that opinion when
it was first published. What
would have been the effect upon
public sentiment? Wouldn't the
good faith of the Attorney Cen
erals opinion have been at once
discredited?
In connection with the inferences
suggested above it should be
borne in mind that the President
delayed making his admission
until the facts had been otherwise
disclosed. 1t should also be re-
membered that at last when he did
make them, it was because they
had been otherwise disclosed.
This motive of his is not an infer
ence; it is part of his admission
Preferences to the matter have

Mrs. Grundy,, of Tracy City, places
our editorial in juxtaposition with one
from the Nashville Tennessean giving
a different idea on Uncle Sans recent
declaration regarding checks for less
than one dollar. We got our informa-
ton from the bankers in Chattanooga,
and that's all, We supposed they
knew their business at the time. AS
far AS we are concerned, we are not
going to kick if we get any old check
for any old amount. They are too
scarce and it takes too many of them
to pay for grub nowadays to get up
on high lonesome about the amounts
written thereon. If Uncle Sam bars
the check for less than dollar, what
about the money order for less than
that amount2 Is that included in the
disbafment proceedings oh, dear
what an expensive, high toned nation
we are getting to be anyway

RESTORE OLD SCHEDULE.

The people of the valley are dissatis-
fed with the present schedule OF the
Chattanooga Accommodation, ana
many express desire that 1T be restor-
ed to its former schedule Take this
place, for instance, and see how in
convenient it is. The train arrives
here now at 9:13 a. m, whereas it us
ed to arrive at sos. This makes the
day nearly half gone before even
start can be made for Chattanooga
This complaint reaches us also from
other points, whose citizens desire to
leave earlier in the day than under
the present schedule, and get in Chat
tanooga just little before lunch hour
anyway.
There is also complaint at the late
arrival on the return trip. OF course,
under the former schedule at upper
points of the valley the train was nee
essarily late in arriving, but this late
ness in arrival is something to which
our citizens are not accustomed. and
of course, those in the upper valley are
even more dissatisfied than those OF
this county.
Then, too, the people of this valley
do not like to feel that railroad
schedule, which suited them perfectly
before the change, has been altered to
suit the convenience of few Chatta-
nooga shopkeepers, who pursuadea the
railroad into this change. alleging in
crease of business If it has increased
their business we doubt it, for we
know of none from here who go there
to trade, and but few from other plac-
es, and those that go, go more for en-
joyment than to save money.
There are other Inconvenience that
also might be enumerated. Whether
the County High School is located at
this place or Jasper or South Pittsburg
change in the time table will be a
desideratum. If South Pittsburg is Sc
lected it will be necessary to either
hurry that train up an hour or make
the PUPILS board in South Pittsburg,
and we suspect the High School thus
wouldn't do the county at large very
much good.
Change that schedule, Mr.. N. Q.
st. Rid, to it's former hours, and re-
ceive the thanks Of the people OF the
valley.
