OLEsZEFsN VERSUS TAYLOR.

Josephine Oleszefski's suit against
William f. Taylor, formerly of
Prompton, for alleged breach of
promise. took up all of Wednesday
before a board of arbitrators. The
arbitrators were Thomas J. Fin
nerty, John Erik and Buel Dodge.
The case was tried in the grand jury
room. The plaintiff was represent
ed by District Attorney NJ. L. Simons
and Peter Iloff, while Frank p. Kim
BILE and r. NJ. Stocker had the inter
ests of the defendant in charge The
plaintiff is nineteen years of age,
while the defendant is seventy-fOur,
and at the present time is totally
blind. The plaintiff claims that the
defendant promised to marry her.
Both plaintiff and defendant testified
very emphatically to stories that
were directly opposite The defend
ant claimed that she was a servant
in his family and treated as a SER
want while the plaintiff swore that
Taylor repeatedly promised to marry
her. Almost the entire population
of PrOmpton were present as wit
nesses. The great bulk of the evil
dence went to prove that the plain
tiff had the reputation of lacking
veraqty and truth in her statements.
The damages were placed at $4,000.

ion in favor of the defendant

Is there any expression which can be

Is there any word which can be used to
explain or extenuate his ruthless bru-
tally with babies not old enough or

entific experiment?
This is Christian country. We live
in day when the common impulse is
to befriend the helpless. Even obdu-
rate natures soften at the babbIing cry
of the waif. How any human being
with intelligence can destroy the eyes
OF material taken by force from the
public almshouse, in the name of sci
ence or anything else, is beyond reason.

upon which to convict. Commercial

Further Shocking Revelations,

Another shocking revelation has beel
made in Philadelphia. Cloaked unde
the pretext Of scientific investigation,
species of cruelty has been made pub
lie which staggers our belief in accept
ed Christian humanity.
An overzealous physician has taker
from the almshouse and other charitable
institutions helpless babies for clinica
purposes. Into their helpless little eye,
he has injected tuberculin, to ascertain
whether similar tests in the human be-
ing responded to the ones already made
with rabbits.
The purpose is two-foId. If success
full, the world may be greatly benefited.
II not successful, the babies expert
mented upon are left blind for life. The
cost is not considered.
The New York Herald made the in
vestigation and made public the brutal
facts. In justice to DIR. Hamill, the
city pathologist OF Philadelphia, his
statement is published. He says:
/ am not worrying about what the
public may think. / do not care to
make any statement until / have con-
suited with the two physicians who are
associated with me. We may decide to
say nothing whatever about it. II there
is any blame to be attached, it must fall
on me. DR.. Carpenter and DIR. Cope
are both younger men, and they only
followed out my instructions. | am
responsible for thinking out
and carrying out the experiments. Per-
Sonally do not care what the public
thinks. ] think the experiments were
entirely justified. +"
Whatever his views may be matters
little. No excuse can be urged in ex-
OF such crime. It is the
climax of brutality. The scientist did
not seek to make his tests among those
who could help themselves. He went
% the poor. They were friendless. These
babies knew nothing. Twenty-one OF
hem have been used. Helpless, inno-
cent, unfortunate little waits who have
,ome unasked into the world, to be
abandoned and deserted. Some may
nave loving mothers somewhere. Some
nave none. In the name of science lit

contrary Notwithstanding there has been
no Palmer and Buckner, nor gold bug,

of the owners took to the theory that a
double standard was impractical, but
supported Bryan in every election with
the warmest enthusiasm as the Demo-
cratic nominee and the only Democratic
nominee in 1896, 1900 and 1908. The
other was a free-silver advocate Meth
er tried to follow the fortunes of the po-
litical adventures, Palmer and Buck

State administration who are now using

with party treachery. There we're many

ported Palmer and Buckner and are

Gubernatorial Terms

Gov. Patterson 5 candidacy Tor third
consecutive term in Office makes inter
esting retrospect Of the bestowal Of this
honor on Tennessee executives. The
constitution says the Governor shall
not be eligible more than six years in
any term of eight. The same proyi-
sion, similarly phrased, occurs in the
constitution of 1876 and that of 1884.
John Sewer, the first Governor, was
elected three times consecutiveIy. He
was followed by Archibald Roane, who
held the Office for one term only, when
Sewer was again elected for three con-
secutiye terms. Willie Blount, Joseph
McMinn and William Carroll, who fol-
lowed in the order named, each held
the Office for three consecutive terms.
After Carroll came Samuel Houston and
his sensational resignation. William
Hall, Speaker Of the Senate, filled out
Houston's term, and after him William
Carroll had another six years in Office.
Carroll's last term expired in 1885
and after him no Governor had three
terms until Isham G. Harris, whose
terms in Office began in 1857, 1859 and
1861. Gov. Harris's last election was
due to the war spirit then beginning to
be rife.
Since the Civil War no Governor has
held Office for three consecutive terms.
Robert L. Taylor served three terms
but not consecutively. Having been
six years out Of office and out of poll
ties he was recalled in 1896 to save the
fortunes OF the Democratic party that
had reached a very low ebb and re-
luired popular candidate not asso-
,iated with its more recent history.
Some of the most distinguished Ten
iessee Governors failed to receive this
marked honor. James X. Polk was
elected for only one term, though he
vas twice afterwards candidate.
Newton Cannon, James G. Jones, Aaron
Y. Brown, Neil S. Brown, Andrew
Johnson, John G. Brown, James d.
Porter and Benton McMillin were each
Governors. William B.
3rownlow and James B. Frazier were
ach elected for two terms but were
lso each elected United States Senator
efore serving out the second term.
}. W. G. Senter, as Speaker Of the
louise, served out Brownlow's term and
yas reelected.
There were some quite prominent
nd able men in the Governors Office

ne term. The third consecutive term
as been bestowed by the people only

We presume Jawn d. will not permit
any Of his educational benefactions to

proposition some time ago that he would

preme Court has ousted him from the
State. There will likely be an advance

State Government and the Democratic
organization seem to be under the con-
troll of men who have lost their heads,
or are devoid Of all proper sense of obli-
cation and duty to the people. l have
never in my life scratched Democratic
ticket; but l have been taught that the
basic principle Of the Democratic party
is the right Of the people to govern
themselves, elect their own officers, and
through their representatives duly elect
ed or appointed by themselves, to de-
clare the principles for which they
stand. The Patterson scheme in the
first place, is denial of this right, a
most fragrant defiance of the people
md an absolute disfranchisement of
hem, to say nothing OF the effort and
purpose to control the judi
,iary and make it subservient to the
will of a political boss. | have not
lesitated from the outset to repudi-
tie and spurn such scheme as UNI
democratic and dangerous as pre-
edent. In fact, / have never con-
eded that this so-called Democratic
was legally or rightfully
reated, or that it had any right to !
peak or act for the Democracy OF ,

Judge Stuttgart Speaks.

In his speech at the courthouse last
Monday Judge Swiggart denounced the
Patterson machine and the Patterson
primary in plain language. He left
nothing to be understood and the crowd
cheered him to man. There we're
about three hundred in the courtroom,
and there would have been twice as
many more if the farmers had not
wanted to take advantage of the first
dry weather to pillow. There is no ques-
ton as to how the people Of Obion
County stand in the gubernatorial pri-
mary, in other words, the Patterson
primary. They will not endorse pri-
mary in which they are tied hand and
foot. They will wear no political yoke
which denies them the rights of suf-
frage, and when it comes to this no par
ty whip on earth is strong enough to
hold them. II might as well be under
stood in the beginning that Obion Coun-
ty Democrats do not propose to endorse
the Ham Patterson primary. Judge
Swiggart has always voted and support
ed the straight ticket There are no
weak spots in his party record. His
loyalty to the organization has never
been questioned He is not like the
Palmer and Buckner Democrats, the
Republican allies. who are now de-
manding loyalty to the party organiza-
ton, who are trying TO control the
name Of Democracy Judge Stuttgart
has always endorsed the State and ma
tional tickets enthusiastically, and all
other Democratic tickets, but he nor
any other respectable Democrat will
stand by primary which nullifies their
vote. There is no Democracy which
destroys the right OF suffrage. 1t is
not even Republican.
Judge Swiggart dwelt especially upon
the manner in which Governor Patter-
son tried to coerce the State Supreme
Court. According TO the statement
made by the majority of the Supreme
Judges the Governor made his primary
plan an instrument through which to
exact decision in the Cooper case, and
the Judges refused to lower the level of
the State Judiciary to party huckstering,
they were assured re-
Judge Swiggart warmly
praised the court for the bold and inde-
pendent stand taken. He said that the
people of Tennessee could be congratu-
lated in the fact the Supreme Court had
held aloof from the mire Of corrupt
party oyertures and methods, and that,
though the administration had tried to
bind and gag the voter, the judiciary !,
had preserved its honor and purity. !
The Judge spoke for more than an
hour, and when he closed he was warm
" congratulated.
