HOOPER'S TEXT BOOKS.

In some of the public school readers
of Tennessee are extracts from speech
es delivered by f. w. Carmack. There
are extracts from addresses made ay
other Tennesseans. There are also ar
ticles paying tribute to the Confeder
acy and to Confederates.
Capt. Ben Hooper, in speech al
Lexington, made statement that he
intended to have P4.terson'S addresses
taken from the sch3ol books when he
is governor, whereupon there was
great applause from the republicans
and those who couldn't get office as
democrats, but hope to get in power
by betraying the democracy and join
ing Hooper.
If Hooper is elected governor he will
appoint Il text book commission.
When he removes Patterson's speech,
what will he substitute in the place OF
ii?
Will he also remove the stories that
pay tribute to eX-Confederates and to
the ConfederGcy?
In places Of these he will probably
put extracts from Uncle Toms Cabin
and few of the abolition speeches of
Thad Evans and Garrison. If there is
room homiies from Newell Sanders
and Clay Enans will be inserted, and
as a sop TO the colored brother poems
by Paul Lawrence Dunbar, addresses
by Booker Washington and oratiOns
by Swaybacli Wilson will be incorpo-
rated in the text. Hooper may also

Producing some of Ida Wells articles.
On the woman question. Ida Wells a
few years ago was an active fomenter
of trouble between the negroes and the
white people of Memphis. Probably
Hooper will also introduce some So
Geological articles upon the age of con-
sent law, which opinions are opposed
to the best thought of the best women
Of this state.

REPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY
TEMERANCE QUESTION

Ben Hooper announces thai he is an
earnest advocate Of the statewide law
in Tennessee, and that he is for temper
ance. Hooper was nominated upon a
platform which Endorses the republican
national platform.
Hooper is no more sincere in his tenn
perance talk than is the national re-
publican party. The republicans have
gress. Members of congress have in
troduced bills forbidding the shipment
of liquor from one state into the dry
territory of another state. The repub-
licans have always killed these bills.
The republicans are in control of all
the machinery of the government of
the United States. Effort has been
made to prevent the issuance of federal
licenses in dry territory. You can go
to any revenue office in this state to-
day and you will find a Hooperite in
charge. Put up the money and you
can get a federal license to sell liquor
in any county in this state and in any
brothel in any county of the state.
Hooper is no more sincere in his talk
for temperance than Is hisown party.
1t has remained for the republican
party to occupy the unique acd infa-
NOUS position Of licensing crime in the
matter of the sale of liquor. In Iowa
there is a constitutional declaration for
prohibition. The republican legisla-
tors of Iowa got around this constitu-
tional prohibitional by passing what is
called the ''mu,ct law" That law
provides that in towns of certain sizes
there shall be a stated fine for the sale
of liquor. In word, there is a
graded tax upon violation of the liquor
law. The republicans are too hypo-
critical TO take the prohibition section
out of the constitution, and yet the
republicans themselves enter into a
partnership with what they have de-
nounced as crime aud give to men
whom they denounce as criminals the
privilege to commit crime.

IN THE FIRST DISTRICT.

The democrats in the First congress

is worthy of their support. We have

from good democratic stock, and is
every inch democrat. He is brainy
and courageous, and if elected to con-
gress will make am ideal representa-
tive of lhe people of his district. Every
democrat in the First district should
vote for him. We refer to Cy. III. Lyle

WONAn'S CLUBS ARE HELP
ING EDUCATE POOR GIRLS

Yesterday there was busy session
in the general teachers meeting. Mrs.
Sprigg Shackleford appeared before
the teachers and in an interesting
way spoke of the commendable work
which is being done by the woman's
clubs to assist needy girls in COM
pleting their education. Mrs. T. NJ.
Harding of Canon City has been in
charge of this work for several years
and has helped many girls to COM
plete their education. The help is
not given except in the year when
the student is unable to finish the
work. BY this the student is enabled
to get her diploma and to be ready for
teaching. Many worthy young women
have in this way been helped all over
the United States. Mrs. Shackleford
suggested that each teacher contribute
one dollar to this fund and the prin-
cipals of the different buildings were
appointed a committee to receive the
money and turn II over to Mrs Shack
leford.-Grand Junction News. q

APPLES COINS TO WASTE

A reader OF The Fruit-Grower calls
attention to the fact that apples are
going TO waste in Southern Kansas.
and asks what we think OF the fruit
industry now. IL seemed strange to
us that apples were being allowed to
go to waste in this year OF good prices
and accordingly we made investiga-
ton. II developed that buyers were
taking good apples, but that the fruit
which was going TO waste was low
grade stun which will not keep in
cold storage OF course they will not
buy this kind OF apples. and We don't
blame them. The trouble has been
that too many growers have been con-
tent to raise poor apples. The fruit
which is sound and smooth will sell
all right-if a man cannot sell apples
of this sort this year he had best get
into another business, or get some per-
son to manage the sales end OF the
business, for the demand has certainly
been good.
No. friends. the trouble is not with
the market this year. The character

dition which exists In the orchards re-

through the various streets of the

this about once or twice during the

it would be good idea to follow about
once a week Such practice would
perhaps tend to make the cadets drill
