No more remarkable OF notable tri-
butte was ever paid 10 the memory
of any man than that which came
unbidden and spontaneous from the
Republican convention when the
name of Edward Ward Carmack was
mentioned. 1t was the tribute of good
citizens to the memory Of one who
had ever. stood a oulwark for the
cause of civic righteousness; whose
every utterance and whose very life
were a menace to the forces of svil

party He never espoused it's prin-
ciples nor supported its candidates.
But he was an open and honorable
foe. Upon the duty of good citizens
there is no difference between good
citizens. He stood for those moral
virtues for which every right think
ing man stands. And his Republic
cans opponents admired and honor
ed him in life. And in death they
venerate and respect his name and
memory.
The Republican party. whatever its
sins Of omission and commission may

too often been the slavish tool Of the
corrupt interests, but it /. has never

WILL PATTERSON srIck2

1t is evident that Patterson has re

wiser friends and has concluded to re
main in the contest 1t is perhaps
better that he has reached this conclu.
sion. This is contest for the elimi-
nation of Pattersonism as we'll as
Patterson but no one so well and so
completely embodies the issues of Pat
cerson ism as Patterson himself and it
Is just as well that the voters have
the question put squarely up to them
!, in November. No one familiar with
sentiment in Tennessee is in doubt
as to the result.
This is not going to be campaign
between Democracy and Republican
ism, however much the pie hunters
of the Patterson party may try to
make it so. 1t is going to be cam
paign in which party and factional
issues will play but little part, where
party lines will be obliterated. Hoop

the real Democracy of Tennessee. That

THE COMMITTEES CALL.

Few thinking Democrats will dis
agree with the action Of the Demo
cratic State Committee In ordering
q State convention at Nashville on
Sept. IA for the purpose of taking
necessary steps looking to the en-
dorsement of candidates for certain
State Offices elected by the people.
While 1t Is apparent that upon the
question Of an endorsement of Hoop
er and Enloe there is practical unani-
unity of opinion. especially in Maury
county, it would have been un-Demo-
cratic and arbitrary had the State
Committee assumed to speak for the
Democrats of the. State.
This revolution against Patterson
ism, this determination to destroy
d remorseless political machine, has
not been in the interest of any Office
seeker, on the contrary 1t has been
primarily a great contest for prin-
ciple. Had the state Committee
taken arbitrary action and attempted
to usurp the functions and rights OF
the masses of the party it
would have deserved the severe
condemnation which 1t would have
received.
It is right on this question Of the
duties. functions and powers Of the
party governing committee, that the
two wings Of the Democratic party
have diverged. The Paterson Com
mittee, a majority appointed by Patter-
son. has assumed all Of the powers
and duties of the masses Of the party.
1t has assumed to be the Democratic
party and has arrogated to itself the
right to make nominations. to write
party platforms and to elect It's own
successors. On . the other hand the
real Democracy of Tennessee holds
10 the old fashioned doctrine that the
party governing committee is merely
the agent or servant OF the party.
never It's master.
The Democratic party must have
a new birth. It must be regenerat
ed; II must be saved. II has not
served les mission in Tennessee. The

A. White, left Monday for Orting,
Washington, where he will visit with
his brother, E. S., for several weeks,
when he will leave for Sumas, the
same state, where he will resume his
business.
Dan had been contemplating the
change for some time, but it was not
generally known until Sunday that he
was about to leave. He shipped
large amount Of his wares to his new

the owner Of the building was absent,
Mr.. Mcdonald turned the key over
to his representative, O. +. Deyar-

LECTURES BY U.
OF N. FACULTY

Extension lectures are now being
given in various parts of the state by
the president and faculty of the Uni
versity Of Montana. These lectures
are offered to the people Of Montana
free of charge by the university. The
lectures are usually secured by par
ties forming class for the purpose,
either under personal invitation, or
under the auspices Of churches, So
cieties, clubs, lodges, etc. The only
conditions to be fulfilled are that tire
parties ordering the lectures assure
the travelling expenses and enter
tainment Of the professors giving the
lectures. The usual method of doing
this is to sell Il sufficient number of
tickets at 81 each for the course to
cover the expenses. In this way the
organizations may secure instructive
entertainment at very low cost. and
even clear neat balance if they care,
to dO so.
The range of subjects offered ill.,
cluds history. literature, economics,
sociology, ethics, geology, minera-
logy. physics, zoology, botany and
forestry. Most of these subjects are
given in courses of three or six lee
tures. but some are given singiy.
The university has no interest in
this matter beyond the entension of
its usefulness to the people Of the
state, and the enllsting OF their in
terest i'll its work. Not Il cent Of Ad-
ditional salary is paid the professors
for their efforts in this work nor. is
the income Of the university increaa-
ed thereby. 1t is merely the spirit Of
the university to interpret literally
its duty to the people, and to demon.
strate it's interest in the civic life of
the state.
Another line of work with which
the state university is now concerned
is instruction by mail. A large num-
Der Of subjects can be very well
taught by correspondence, and the
cNNSNCO VI OViIVl llI0V1luVIUuS Tile
use Of this method demonstrates its
practicnbility. It is al opportunity
for the man who car not afford to
sacrifice his time or salary to attend
school, and il is chance for the busy
and ambitious man in any walk Of
life to increase his efficiency by tech
nical instruction. or to broaden his
education and cutlook upon life. Suf-
ticient time is giving the student
carrying studies in this way, 80 that
he may not find it burdensome, and
the expense of a course is very small,
merely sufficient to cover postage,
cost Of typewriting, etc.
The subjects taught by correspon-
dence are languages, literature, edu-
cation, economics, zoology. photog-
raphy. forestry, physics. mathcma-
tics, surveying, etc. These courses
are suited to the particular needs Of
each applicant.

lie is back again this year and ex-
poets to repeat his triumph.
HIS Farm Once Waste Land.
The land which Martin farms was
SO rough and undesirable that it was
detached from the tract of which it
originally was a part. Martin bought
it for $3.50. The first year his crops
paid him $500. Since then his earn.
ings have grown to $4,000 \ year, exc
elusive of the income from cash pre-
miums at fairs. Last year Martin
won 81 ops at the Nebraska State FAIR
and at Electric Park. At both he
took first prize for county exhibits.
he also won many individual prizes
in agricultural classes at both fairs.
At Electric Park his products were.
given eighty-two first and second
awards.
''Hard work and Il little thought -
That's his answer when asked how to
make farming pay. Martin sells all
his products in little country town
in competition with his neighbors OH
bigger farms. An idea of the immense
amount Of work Martin did in trans
forming twenty acres of hillside into
Il producing farm may be gained in
the fact that he took the curves out
OF a creek which meandered through
his property and thereby gained an
other acre Of tillable land. lie also
made it the source Of 4 water supply.
Ii it doesn't rain, Martin turn Oh
his homemade irrigation plant. In
stead Of the soil being washed down
by rain, Martin had arranged his
rows so that they hold the moist .r.
longer than bottom land would ii cul-
tivated in the ordinary manner.
Employs The Swiss Method
Martin works his land all the time
except in winter. His is the intensive
method used in the rocky section Of
Switzerland from which he cam". llo
