PafteTsOn'S Record in Tennessee.

The Richmon Times-Dispatch in sum-
ming up the official acts of Governor M.
r. Patterson, of Tennessee, who only
the other day psrdoned Duncan B. Coo
per, after the Supreme Court of the
State had affirmed the judgment of the
lower court, sentencing him to the pen
itentiary for twenty years for the muir
der of Edward w. Carmack, says:
I'm thirty-eight months Governor
Patterson, of Tennessee, has issued 956
pardons to criminals convicted in the
courts of that State, an average Of
nearly six pardons the week. He has
set 155 murderers free; he has extended
the executive clemency to 1O3 illicit IL
quor dealers; he has turned loose upon
the community 175 persons convicted of
carrying concealed deadly weapons; he
has delivered from prison 125 thieves,
and has pardoned 402 criminals convict
ed of minor misdemeanors. In the ex-
ercise of his executive authority he has
undOne the work of 152 judges and !, 1924
jurors who served in the trial of cases
for murder. This is a fearful record
the worst we have ever known, except
possibly during the reconstruction days,
when pardons were sold in job lots by
at least one of the governors in that
dark and hopeless period.
Governor Patterson is a Democrat.
He is supposed to represent the best
citizens of Tennessee; at least he stands
for the white civilization of that COM
monwealth. His latest act was proba-
bly, his worst, and in pardoning Colonel
Duncan B. Cooper he invited the dis
trust and contempt of all law-abiding
citizens. There was some very idle
talk at the time this pardon was issued
of personal violence, but the killing of
Patterson and the lynching of Cooper
would have only deepened the shame of
Tennessee. What the people of that
State ought TO do is to drive Patterson
and the people who stand with him out
of power forever. In that way only
can they regain their own self-respect
and entitle themselves to the confidence
and the esteem of their neighbors.

about thirty men who said to be con-
federates of Horn and Murphy, came to
their rescue, but failed to obtain the
release of the their pals. Warrants for
the arrest of these men have been is

Colonel Roosevelt in Pans.

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, who is
at present travelling abroad, delivered a
lecture before the University of Sor-
bonnie, Paris, last Saturday. The sub
ject of his lecture was Citizenship in a
Republic. 1t was the first of the for
mer Presidents four set lectures in Eu-
rope. The audience was composed large
ly of students and faculty of the uni
versity with hundred or more distiu-
guished outsiders from frances men
of letters.
A great crowd stood outside the hall,
and so eager was every one to get a
glimpse of Roosevelt that clashes with
the police were frequent.
Any one who had heard Roosevelt in
a campaign speech or any impropmtu
address would have thought him under
restraint, but to the French he appeard
energy personified, even though they
are used to demonstrative oratory.
The speech was delivered in French,
although at times Col. Roosevelt would
stop and translate parts of it into En-
glish for the benefit of those present
who did not understand the French Ian
guage. The speech was full of epigrams.
some of them selected at random as fol-
lows:
Virtue which is dependent on a slug
gish circulation is not impressive.
A good citizen is not a good citizen
unless he is efficient.
If you will steal for me, you will steal
from me.
1T peace and justice conflict, we scorn
the man who would not stand for JUS
tice, though the whole world come in
arms against him.
Life of material gain, whether for
the nation or for the individual, is of
value only as a foundation.
The quality of the individual citizen is
supreme.
Let the man of learning beware of
that queer and cheap temptation to pose
as the cynic.
The poorest way to face life is to face
it with sneer.
actually in the arena, whose face is
marred by sweat and dust and blood.
Shame on the man of cultivated worth
who permits refinement to develop into
fastidiousness that units him for do
ing the rough work of a workaday
world.
The man who does nothing cuts the
same sordid figure in the pages of his
tory, whether he be cynic, fop or volup-
tuary.
The average man should be taught to
feel that he occupies a contemtible DO
sltion if he doee not earn his own liveli.
hood.
A good man must be strong and brave:
he should be able to serve his country as
soldier.
More important than the ability to
work or fight is the ability of nation
and its citizens to have many children.

Teaching City Development.

The Central Association Of Com
mercial Secretaries was organized at
Cincinnati last November upon the oc-
casion of the gathering in that city of a
number of the best known commercial
club secretaries in the middle states
The organization is said to have started
OF with great promise of good to men
interested in making commercial clubs
more useful to communities.
Commenting on this organization, and
expressing the belief that the theory
and practice of town and city develop
ment can be taught, the Town Develop
ment Magazine, of Chicago, says:
Town and city delopment has its
practicable, visible side, which can be
accounted in dollars and cents, and when
this fact is more widely understood the
work itself will have a wider patronage.
When community understands and
believes that a thing can be done. a
long step in the direction of doing it will
have been accomplished. Town and
city development is largely pioneering
even in these twentieth century times.
The pioneer is not often appreciated or
understood until he and his day have
passed. Let US not allow the day or the
present development pioneer to pass be-
fore he is understood, appreciated and
popular. One of the most important
things which the present-day town and
city builder can do, is to create a wider
understanding of just what is the work
Of the town builder. When this is
known and understood, more men will
see how it concerns them, and how their
activity, interest and patronage will
yield them good returns. When more
men see how the work means benefit to
them, more men will lend their interest
and support, and pioneering will be over
and we will be down to the science of
the thing"
These are timely and important truths,
the value and force of which are already
understood and felt in many cities and
sections. There is so far no established
school of instruction in the science of
city development, yet the commercial
club secretaries of Texas held a summer
school of instruction at Fort Worth last
August, and the organization of the
Central Association of Secretaries at
Cincinnati followed in November. The
work of these two organizations, and of
others as they spring into existence,
Will be educative and will be closely
watched and carefully studied by secre-
taries of live commercial clubs every
where. In this way the general in
terest in and appreciation of develop
ment work will grow and widen until
every city in the whole country will be
benefited.
