SHALL TENNESSEE TAKE
A BACKWARD STEP
SILENA NJ. HOLMAN.


Mr.. Editor: There is an irrepressible
conflict going on in Tennessee to-day
between the liquor men who desire to
restore the saloons at least to the cities,
and the temperance forces, believing
that this would be an unmeasured ca
lamity, desire to hold what they have
won and see the law enforced
To restore the saloon, even to one
city, would beI a backward step in the
progress of the State, and all good peo-
pie should ask themselves earnestly,
Shall Tennessee take this backward
step?"
The four-miIe law, forbidding the sale
of liquor within four miles of an incor-
porated school, was passed in 1877. In
1887 it was extended to include any
schoolhouse, public or private, whether
incorporated or not In 1899 the law
was SO extended as to give incorporated
| JOWllS vi AyUOO lilldDltdlltS Jllc JIlNl-
lege of incorporating without the sa
loon. In 1908 this provision was so ex-
tended as to include towns of 5000 in
habitants, in 1907 to cities OF $50, 600
inhabitants, and in 1909 the law was
extended to take in the entire State.
The people were just as ready for the
passage of the State wide law in 1909
as they were for the extension of the
law at any other session OF the LegisIa-
ture. Indeed at no time since the pas
sage Of the first law was anything like
the interest in the measure manifested |
that was shown in the passage Of the
Statewide law in 1909. Everybody in
the State knows this to be true.
From the passage of the first law in
1877 to the present day the progress of
the temperance movement has been ever
forward. Not one backward step has
been taken in all the thirty years
since the beginning of this beneficent
law And it has brought untold bless
ings to the people of Tennessee.
Then, having driven the liquor traffic
step by step, from our State, never hav-
ing taken backward step, shall we be
gin, after the victory is won, and take
such a step nov? Shall we restore the
saloons to the cities Of the State, with
the chance that this entering wedge may
bring back the saloons to the entire
State, and we have all our work to do
over again?
Dear friends, we cannot afford to
take this or any other backward step.
The thing to do is to take the next step
forward and elect the men to office who
will enforce our laws That a large ma
jority of the people Of Tennessee are in
favor of Prohibition is shown by the
fact that the traffic has been driven
from every city, town, village and eoun-
ty in the State except the four last
places that came under the operation Of
the Statewide law when this law was
passed. We do not want saloons even
in the cities Even if they will not en-
force the measure, the business should

A PROCLAMATION.
By the President of the United
States of America.

Whereas by the act of Congress ap-
proved July 2, 1909, the Thirteenth
Decennial Census OF the United States
is to be taken, beginning on the ff-
teenth day of April, nineteen hundred
and ten; and
Whereas a correct enumeration of the
population every ten years is required
by the Constitution of the United States
for the purpose of determining the rep
resentation of the several States in the
House of Representatives; and
Whereas it is of the utmost impor-
tance to the interests of all the people of
the United States that this census should
be complete and accurate report of the
population and resources of the country:
Now, therefore, l, William Howard
Taft, President of the United States of
America, do hereby declare and make
known that, under the act aforesaid, it
is the duty of every person to answer all
questions on the Genus schedules apply
ing to himself and the family to which
he belongs, and to the farm occupied by
him or his family, and that any adult
refusing to do so is subject to penalty.
The sole purpose of the census is to
secure general statistical information re-
garding the population and resources of
country, and replies are required from
individuals only in order to permit the
compilation of such general statistics.
The census has nothing to do with tax
alton, with army or jury service, with
the compuEsion of school attendance,
with the regulation of immigration, or
with the enforcement of any national,
State or local law or ordinance, nor can
any person be harmed in any way by
furnishing the information required.

LET'S SEE ABOUT THIS.
Says Garrett Concerning Military
Road Bill.

INOdd DILL
Washington, March 12.-Congress.
man Finis S. Garrett, for one, has made
himself clear on the question of build
ing public roads at the expense OF the
Government.
The House was discussing on last cal
endar day bill providing for the con-
struction of a military highway be-
tween Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley,
Kans," It developed that the bill called
for the construction of road about a
hundred miles long, and provided that
United States convicts should be em-
ployed in the work. 1t precipitated a
discussion of the whole question of pub
lie road building with the Government
aiding. After considerable debate in
committee of the whole, the committee
rose without coming to any conclusion,
and the question is still pending.
Mr.. Garrett said the bill did not APP
peal to his support until he was satisfied
as to the authority Congress had to en-
gage in the construction of the particu-
lar highway. 1t was not a military
road-not to be built because of any
military NECESSITY, He held that the
Federal overnment, under the Consti-
tuition of the United States had no
authority to build any roads except mil
itary roads land post roads. This not
being military or post road, its con
constructions lay absolutely outside OF
the domain Of Congressional power.
Il am perfectly well aware, Mr..
Chairman, u said Mr.. Garrett, of the
fact that there is widespread senti-
ment in the Republic for Federal aid in
the construction Of highways. But gen
tlemen will remember that at no time
has anybody ever proposed that the
Federal Government had authority to
construct a highway unless it needed
that highway to use in governmental
business.
The fact is that the indirect system
of taxation of the Federal Government
is responsible for the growing demands
upon the Federal Treasury. The citi-
zen does not recognize when he is
paying his Federal taxes, because the
method OF collection is indirect rather
than direct, But he does realize when |
he is paying State, county and munich
pal taxes, because he takes the cash |
from his pocket and pays it to the col
lector and receives only a tax receipt in
return. 1t results, therefore, that many |
people have come to look upon Federal |
not as so much spent,
but as a gift-as so much picked up.
A member of State Legislature, when
when he returns from the session in his
State, will be met by his constituents.
They, with keen, cold gleam in their
eyes, say: How much did you spend?'
When member of Congress goes to
his home, he will be met by that same
and with the same cold
gleam in the eyes. They will ask him.
How much did you get?' F."
Much laughter and hearty applause
greeted the pithy little speech of the
tennessee member.

you CAN INTEREST HIM.
Anv Man Over Fifty

You can interest any man over hfty
years of age in anything that VIII
make him feel better, because While ne
may not as yet have any positive Or
ganic disease he no longer feels the
buoyancy and vigor Of twenty-five nor
the freedom from aches and pains ne
enjoyed in earlier years, and ne very
naturally examines with interest any
proposition looking to the improve
ment and preservation OF his health
He will notice among other things
that the stomach OF fifty is very diff
ferent one from the stomach he pos
sessed at twenty-five. That greatest
care must be exercised az to what is
eaten and how much of 1t, and even
with the best of care. there will be in
creasing digestive weakness with ad-
vancing years.
A proposition to perfect or improve
the digestion and assimilation of food
is one which interests not only every
man. women and child of any age
because the secret of good health. good
blood. strong nerves is TO have a
stomach which will promptly and thor
oughly digest wholesome food because
blood, nerves, brain tissue and every
other constituent of the body is en-
rrely the product of digestion. and no
medicine or health" food can possibly
create pure blood or restore shaky
nerves. when weak stomach is re-
plenishng the daily wear and tear OF
the body from the mass of ferment1ng
half-digested food.
No. the stomach itself wants help
and In no round about way either; IL
wants direct, unmistable assistance,
such as is given by one or two Stuart
Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal.
These tablets cure stomach trouble
because their use gives the stomach
a chance to rest and recuperate; one OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contains d.
gestive elements sufficient TO digest
5000 grains Of ordinary food such as
bread. meat. eggs etc.
The plan of dieting IS simply another
name for starvation. and the use OF
prepared foods and new tangled break
fast foods simply makes matters as any
dyspeptic who has tried them knows.
AS Or. Bennett says. the only reason
I can imagine why Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets are not universally used by
everybody who is troubled in any way
with poor digestion is because many
people seem 10 think that because
medicine is advertised or Is sold IN
drug stores or is protected by trade
mark must be a humbug whereas as
matter Of truth any druggist VINO Is
observant knows that Stuart 5 DEspep-
STA Tablets have cured more people
of Indigestion, heartburn. heart trounle
nervous prostration and run down con-
tiition generally than all the patent
medicines and doctors prescriptions for
stomach trouble combined.

FORMER ATTORNEY OF THIS CITY
MADE DEFENDANT ON
CHARGE OF FRAUD.
COUPLE CLAIMS HE TOOK
THEIR HOME AND SOLD 1T
Conspiracy is Also Charged in District
Court Suit Filed at Des Moines by
Grace and J. X. Barnes-Disbarment
Said to Possibly Face Lawyer as
Result Of Another Case.

| w. T. Maxey a former attorney OF
this city, now of Des Moines, is having
a peck Of trouble over a suit charging
fraud and conspiracy, filed by Grace
and j. K. Barnes, former clients of
the lawyer. The Barneses claim that
Maxey secured deed to their property
fraudulently. sold it, and then bought
! it back and mortgaged it.
The Register and Leader tells of the
filing Of the Barneses' petition as fol-
| lows:
I'm the petition il is claimed by
Barnes and his wife that Maxey de-
liberately defrauded them out of their
property, that at the present time he
has deed to it and that he has placed
mortgage on it. In the petition it is
asked that the court cancel the deed
and the mortgage for $500.
According to the petition Barnes
met with unfortunate business reverses
/ in January, 1908 II is held out that
Maxey informed Barnes that his cred
itors would be down upon him and
would take his homestead from him.
II - also stated lndl NdAeS iHllNlateO
that criminal action was pending
against him. He agreed 10 defend
Barnes against the creditors and in the
guarantee that his expenses would he
paid was given deed to the Barnes
property
Barnes declares that Immediately
after the deed was signed that Maxey
ass med ownership of the property and
promptly sold it to his stenographer
who ordered the property vacated. The
stenographer's efforts 10 secure posses
sion are said to have been futile and
acc ording to Barnes she transferred
the property back to MaXey. Ma&ey
then, it is, said, mortgaged it for $500
Barnes declares that he later found
out that he was not threatened with
criminal prosecution and he declares
that Maxey's alleged acts were but part
Of scheme to defraud him Of his
property. He also protests against the
payment of attorneys fees of s1,o07.76
which he states Maxey holds against
him.
Disbarment as Possibility.
But the Barnes case is not the only
one that Maxey is interested in, ac-
cording to a record of the criminal di-
vision of the district court, under
Judge DeGraf. The court Tuesday
ordered Maxey to pay, by the morning
of Oct TO- the sum of $500 into the
estate of Adolph F. C. Garben, of which
Maxey had been administrator. 1t Is
claimed that Maxey, as administrator,
allowed himself $500 in fees. This the
court holds is excessive, and orders
that all but 500 of the amount be
paid into the estate. 1t is also said
that. should Maxey refuse to comply
with the order. disbarment proceedings
may be started against him.
William T. Maxey went to Des
Mones from this city about ten years
tago. He had an office over 10 East
Main street, and lived at I'll West
Church street. He is a son-in-law of
the late E. NJ. Wyatt, OF Lamoille.
