The promotion Of Associate Justice
Edward D. White of Louisiana, to be
Chief Justice OF the United States Su-
preme Court has been confirmed by
the Senate, as also have been the ap-
pointments of Judge Willis Van Devan-
ter of Wyoming, and Judge Joseph
Rucker Lamar, of Georgia, to be Asso-
ciate Justices of the Supreme Court
Justices White and Lamar are Dem
ocrats, and outside Of little partisan
feeling, these appointments seem to
have been eminenty satisfactory. The
President has also named the justices of
the Court of Commerce, but as yet the
public has not learned to take any great
interest in this branch of the judiciary.
1t may be that this court will concern
the people in a very lively way after a
bit. The great Republican high priest,
Chas. E. Hughes, had been scheduled
by the newspapers for some time in
connection with the place held by men
Of such renown as Justice John Mar
shall, Justice Jay, Justice fancy and
Others, but the slate was broken. Per-
haps the President acted in the wisdom
of his good sound judgment. Per-
haps he was offering truce to Demo-
Gratis But since he has done the right
thing, it is more becoming and in
much better taste to attribute an hon
esty Of purpose in the Presidents ac-

by both the Democratic and Republican
parties, and no Democrat OF any dis
tinction has ever proposed the doctrine
for the benefit Of the States until Bryan
returned from his European travels or
from the Kingdoms and empires. Every
one knows that Bryan had no sooner
proclaimed the theory as applicable to
this government than it was dropped
out Of sight and sound, and on the sub
ieet the Nebraskan was as silent as the
tomb during the campaign which fol-
lowed.
No, we are not excited over the State
ownership Of the State Fair, but if there
are none to defend our constitution
socialism, anarchy, monarchy, and all
the other forms will creep in to destroy
the essence and principle Of free gov
ernment.
The tendency Of government owner
ship is Capitalization, and therefore it
has never taken root in this country to
any great extent The ownership and
control of the State Fair by the State OF
Tennessee will in all probability, if it
led to nothing else, do very little to re-
tard the progress Of Democracy, but the
example is what we are criticising. 1t
may or may not lead to more serious
complications; who can tell?
One thing is sure The doctrine has
always been considered undemocratic
and out OF line with the spirit of the
constitution, and the Democrat who pre-
fers State ownership Of the fair has no
ground to protest when his course has
been criticised. He values patriotism
less than a little heeting advantage.
The State will have more money, of
course to spend on the fair in case it
fails to be self-sustaining, but that
money comes out of the pockets OF
many unwilling contributors. How
much better it would be as a private
enterprise and at the same time in
keeping with free American institutions,
in which all may participate who desire
without saddling burden upon the
taxpayers
AS we said before, the tendency of
government ownership is towards cen
tralization and bureaucracy. The State
of Tennessee has just passed through
crucible on account of bureaucracy or
machine politics. Government owner
ship means the creation of new bureaus
and an increase of political Offices and
all this means an increase of spoils and
the augmentation of a political ma
chine when a bad governors in power.
1t is what a good governor does not
want and bad governor should not
have, to quote the language Of former
governor whom some of the State Fair
public ownership advocates have OPP
posed.
Government ownership is not the ac-
cepted doctrine Of American govern
ment, and should there be those who
espouse the doctrine they should be
honest enough to admit that their
Democracy is somewhat modified or
dlstasteful in great measure.

The Play.

George Middleton has given US play
in The House Of a Thousand Candles"
equally as interesting as Grace Hay
wards version OF 'Graustark, +" and the
company presenting it here last Satur-
day night was altogether a good one.
The scenic equipment was ample and the
audience enjoyed the production.
The play is really more interesting
than any which have been seen here for
some time, and if there is to be any dis
tinction made we should say that it is de-
serving Of more ambitious playhouses
and companies than those who are hand
ling it. 1t pleases various tastes and is
full Of dramatic value. The playwright
has made a success of his work. The
story is patterned much after the fashion
of 'Graustark" with nothing of the
same locations and characters, but much
the same Of style and spirit The COM
pany is good indeed when measured to
standards of the best we have had here.
There we're few weak points, but it oc-
CURED to us that some fellow like An
drew Mack might make Larry Donovan

gether satisfying in the role of the

son. 1t is character part The party
who makes a hit with it, however, isnot

Christmas Night.

Lord, at this gracious Christmas time,
While happy paeans wake,
OF Thy good mercy be Thou near,
To those whose heart-strings break;
To soothe, to heal, to bind, to bless,
OF Thy great human tenderness.
Lord, while the Christmas beacons fiaunt
The torches Of delight,
DO Thou among the darkened ways
Walk close, dear Lord, this night;
To stoop, to light, to bless,
OF Thy great patient tenderness.
While Plenty spreads her gracious store,
And Happiness enthralls,
Lord, let Thy subtler presence grace
Thy lowlier chlldren's halls;
To smile, to cheer, to guide, to bless,
OF Thy great holy tenderness.
While happy little children sleep,
Secure from hidden harm,
Great God, above Thy homeless ones
Spread Thou Thy might arm;
To have, to hold, to guard, to bless,
OF Thy great loving tenderness.
While sturdy Courage lifts her head
Above life's battling horde,
Do Thou be strength this night to those
Who have no courage, Lord;
To lift, to love, to bless-Thy weak.
This night, for gentle Jesus sake.

State Ownership.

For the benefit OF our very good
friend, Watch Dog, we protest
against the indictment of being unduly
exercised over the State ownership OF
the State Fair enterprise, its corpus and
its management. What we have I'M
dertaken to do is what every other pa
triotic newspaper and public servant
should do, and that is to warn the legis-
lative and executive branches Of the
State against the encroachment Of meas
ures out Of harmony and spirit with re-
publican and democratic institutions.
First OF all The Commercial declared
when it first went to its readers under
the present management that it was
Democratic. We have always under
stood the word Democracy as applied
to the party to be the Democracy of
Jefferson and Democracy in its broadcast
sense
